Speaking from experience, children break things that aren't their own when they're angry. Dishes included. Omega did it a few times.

[depthlesslock]

Key words were "things they love", D. Not denying kids break things, but if there's something they're attat-sh-ed to, they won't break it.

[protective_logic]

Well, at least we've confirmed I'm not a child then.

[depthlesslock]

You're not a sh-ild, but the point still stands.

[protective_logic]

Adults are capable, and willing, to break things they love. So if your argument is that they don't, then stop because you'd sound foolish.

[depthlesslock]

Capable and willing if there's a good reason.

[protective_logic]

It's been posited that my reason is shit.

[depthlesslock]

If protecting your family is a bad reason for doing something, then the last five years of my life have been a huge mistake.

It's not a shit reason, Delta.

[protective_logic]

You're literally the only one that thinks so. But if you understand and accept the reason, then you shouldn't have a problem with being asked to stay away from the little ones.

[depthlesslock]

I understand the reasons, I don't accept them. ...Well, I do a bit, but not as mu-sh as you, and not as mu-sh as I did. I've been thinking a lot about our conversation.

[protective_logic]

I don't care if you don't accept them. I gave up the person I love the most, the man I'd want to spend my life with. Do you really think you'd survive the cut?

How do I justify friendship with you if I couldn't justify my love of him!?

[depthlesslock]

Honestly, I was half surprised you hadn't already called to let me know.

But before you decide to silence my sh-annel once and for all, I've been thinking about a few things, I wanted to share them with you.

[protective_logic]

Say what you want. I won't block the channel. You are my younger brother's boyfriend and I can't get around that.

[depthlesslock]

Thanks.

Okay, so here's what I've been thinking. Yes, there is some threat to hanging around us, but there's benefits as well. Without us, I agree, Sigma wouldn't have been kidnapped or had to deal with me being in a coma for a month, Omega wouldn't have got hurt and the littles wouldn't have been threatened.

But without us, you would probably still be deaf, or if you weren't, the family would have gone through some serious financial problems, even by your standards. Epsilon would very likely be dead after he was attacked at work, and the sh-ances of Sigma being killed in the future would be a hell of a lot higher because he'd likely still go into cloud science, but wouldn't know how to defend himself or have us keeping an eye on him.

Yes, we carry a risk, but we also offer protection. The littles have already been threatened, is the benefit of preventing potential future risks worth cutting out the people who would stop the current threat being followed through, if it was? We try to minimize the risks we pose to your family, but we would do anything to protect you all, and that's in problems we cause and problems that we had no part in. Whi-sh outweighs the other? And that's a genuine question. So was the twin one.

[protective_logic]

That's...

Why couldn't you have said that all before?

[depthlesslock]

I was half asleep, annoyed that I was having a bad speaking day, and didn't have time to think the whole thing through. Sorry.

[protective_logic]

Well, you're far too late.

Please leave me alone.

[depthlesslock]

Not too late. D, it's only been a few days, we can try and sort this out.

Shouting

[protective_logic]

He won't talk to me and I don't even DESERVE for him to do so. So fuck the hell off if you won't get how ruined this is. Even if he WOULD take me back it would be a mistake to do so.

It's hardly fair for ANYONE to ask him to wait thirteen years for real commitment. He shouldn't be with someone who won't put him first, who won't love him like he should. You have no fucking clue!

Re: Shouting

[depthlesslock]

...Okay, in that sense, I don't.

Look, my point is that if you think the risks outweigh the protection, then keep on as you are. But if you want our protection and friendship, despite the risks, then that's different and we need to let people know. I'll help.

Maine specifically is a different issue.

[protective_logic]

Do whatever you want. Omega won't take any attempts you make to protect us seriously. Maine won't involve himself with anything I'm involved in. So whatever.

[depthlesslock]

Whether he takes them seriously or not doesn't affect them in the slightest. Except maybe their efficiency if he keeps spewing about them.

With Maine... You should at least try to be on better terms. I'm guessing friendship would be too painful? Even so, he deserves an explanation.

[protective_logic]

I explained it. Contact is over. It is better that I don't exist to him, cause him less pain.

[depthlesslock]

Did you break up with him because you considered him too high a risk?

[protective_logic]

All of you are. My family needs reduced threat levels from mercenary contacts. No one else will ever be willing to deal with that. I had to lose the thing I love most for them.
