[ he forgot to care about juno's plight. i'm so sorry he's like this

looking back up to it. hm ]

Magic?

[idologist]

[ Juno doesn't even notice, yo ]

Hmmm... I thought it was religion, but maybe it's magic too?

[gentilleowlet]

[ hm. thoughtful: ]

Who were you talking to?

[idologist]

Oh, just my creator. We talk through the stars sometimes, but it's easier for the stars if the distance isn't too big.

[gentilleowlet]

[ ? ]

You were created?

[ I mean

like

that makes sense, but he sort of doesn't process people as. . . having an origin. . . if they're not his family. like people just Exist. come to think of it, where did Dusk come from? ]

[idologist]

[ ...tilts their head, somewhat nonplussed, because haven't they said this before? Wait, or maybe Clima misinterpreted it because they don't know what a construct is? That makes more sense, Juno thinks kindly. ]

Yeah. I know that most people aren't, they come from families and all that's involved there. But... I was. I'm only a few months old!

[gentilleowlet]

[ he probably wasn't paying attention at the time, to be honest, if he was there at all

>a few months
>yet taller than him
smfh

taking a moment or two, before: ]

You're a baby.

[idologist]

No, I'm a construct.

[ there's a difference, ok. constructs really don't age. ]

[gentilleowlet]

[ shhh

lifts up a hand to beckon them closer to him ]

[idologist]

...?

[ okay, going closer ]

[gentilleowlet]

[ beckons a little closer. u gonna have to bend down ]

[idologist]

[ Bends down...! ]

[gentilleowlet]

[ reaches up to ruffle their hair. ]

Welcome to the world.

[idologist]

[ ... this is a little strange when Juno witnessed Clima murder Parsley just a few hours ago, but they'll take it ]

Um, thank you!

[gentilleowlet]

[ gives their head a good 'nother ruffle before he drops his hand, looking up to the stars again. what do you mean this is strange? mood whiplash? don't know such a thing. ]

Shouldn't you talk to your creator face to face? Instead of being in this corner here.

[idologist]

[ well it's not like juno wasn't determined to put that behind them for now and try and make friendly conversation anyway! after all, it would defeat the point of FRIENDSHIP their court upheld otherwise. ]

[ As for their creator... well... ]

Ummmmmm...

[gentilleowlet]

[ ????????? ]

[idologist]

It's complicated...

[gentilleowlet]

[ hm

thinks about it for a moment

if he reverses the situation, then. . . ]

Do you miss them?

[idologist]

Ah, no! I'm glad to be out and doing things and meeting people and making friends!

[gentilleowlet]

[ hm ]

Do you hate them?

[idologist]

Mmmmmmnnnno. They're my creator! I'll do everything I can to meet their expectations.

[gentilleowlet]

That doesn't mean you have to like them.

[ not contesting, per se, just pointing that out ]

Their expectations?

[idologist]

I don't understand?

[ Not liking their creator does not compute. ]

Mm, like I said. I have a job... to protect this kingdom and help it become the top place in the world for idols!

[gentilleowlet]

For Dusk's sake, right?

[ nvm the whole free will part this is more important ]
