[A huff of something like laughter, but it's obviously pretty humorless. Just sliding to sit down on ... something. Whatever is around.]

You'd think, eventually, things would start to look up, but it seems we haven't reached rock bottom yet.

[shaft]

Is it really too optimistic to say this might be the worst of it?

[ Flashback to Byleth holding her own arm.

Which was, yesterday. ]

[headmt]

[oh my god that was fucking yesterday]

I'm afraid saying something like that is like standing in copper armor at the top of a hill and telling the Stormlord to go fuck his own arse.

[shaft]

[ That just.

Makes him laugh. Like a lot. Just give him a moment... ]

You... are probably right. That's terrible.

[headmt]

[It was good, right? Molly seems pretty proud of it.]

It is. It's fucking awful. Luckily for us, I doubt the gods are paying much attention. Least, it doesn't feel much like it, does it?

[shaft]

[ He snorts at that. ]

No, but I've always found leaving your fate to the heavens a little foolish.

[headmt]

Oh, really?

[Molly just twiddles his thumbs for a second, thinking it over.]

Don't mind it entirely. Maybe a little of both. Some of your own feet, some in the hands of the universe.

[shaft]

Well, I did say only a little.

[ He glances down at the table. ]

It takes a certain kind of strength to relinquish control too, I think. I've never been very good at it.
