[ Howl huffs a noise that's too detached to be a laugh and too apathetic to be a scoff. ]

...Well, that's all you need to be happy, who am I to question it?

[ He's totally questioning it, though. Is the bad so low that surviving is all it takes? How bleak. Surely a person deserves to ask for more than that from life.

But Howl hates arguing and is not here to argue. His congenial smile returns as he glances over her regal wings. ]

I apologize, in that case. It seems I had unfairly assumed the worst of Set, based on all that nonsense during his sermon.

[appeale]

[ she waves off his polite response, flippant: ] Oh, there's no need for apologies. Set will be the first one to tell you he's an evil god.

[ it's a title that she's seen many scold him over, whether it's in rebuke of his existence or from well-meaning souls who think Set is demeaning himself. but Ruby understands it. she's an evil witch, after all; what would be the point in trying to pretend otherwise? walking in the light only ever gets her cast back into the darkness, so why not just stay there? ]

But that's precisely why he'll protect me without question while the "good" people are busy judging whether or not I deserve to live, you know?
