[ Quietly following them, if they lead. ]

[ they do - once they're in they move to clear a spot on the bed, since it's otherwise covered in tsumtsums, and sit down. ]

[ Poking a plush, but sitting down next to them. ]

Shrike has told me some things about you. Um, I really apologize if I did anything to make that experience uncomfortable for you.

I actually don't quite care for mental compulsion myself. Or being bound in any way.

You didn't do anything wrong. Even if you had hurt me, you're not the one at fault.

...Do you hate it? Being compelled, losing yourself? Becoming slave to some other will.

Of course I do. It's the worst thing that can be done to any living creature.

...Yes. The first time I played that game, I went berserk and killed my entire table.

...I see. I wouldn't have thought you had it in you.

I have quite a lot of it in me. There is a power in me that is terrible, that destroys, that revels in it's own strength. A power that is cruel and terrible. It's a part of me, no less so because I can be gentle and kind.

During that first game, it was stirred by those compulsions, and unused to it, I succumbed entirely.

Mm. It isn't as if there's a choice but to succumb entirely.

If I had been more aware of who I was, I may have succumbed in a different way.

I am... a monstrous being, a terrible creature, but that's not all I am. That is how I like to see it.

Of course. You're a person, after all.

But you don't think you are.

I know I'm not.

You're wrong about that... but I lack the context or the ability to persuade you of otherwise.

Shrike told me a little about your background. There is much about you I cannot agree with, certainly not your goals, and yet... I am drawn to you. I feel something about you that I'm still trying to understand.

Would you like some advice, Sekhmet?

...I'm not trying to tell you what to do, or to say that I know your circumstances, beyond the vaguest way.

Oh, that's good.

[ they reach out to pet her on the head. ]

Good girl.

Still. I do think of you as more than just a role that is being played.

I'm not. Not really.

...Well, it was terrible in any case that you were coerced the way you were. I do care about you.

You shouldn't. You'll get hurt.

Maybe I shouldn't, but I still do.

But I don't want to just hear things about you from Shrike. I want to hear from you. I want you to tell me your truths. You're more to me than whatever your context with Shrike is.

If you say so. What did you want to know, then?

I want you to tell me who you consider yourself to be, in your own words.
