Then we stay away from him until he's arrested or killed.

[pyrighteous]

[ PFFT. ]

You can't arrest the Emperor. It's ILLEGAL.

[agentgymstudent]

And any Emperor who kills a child deserves to be taken down in a revolution or coup.

[pyrighteous]

I'm not a child. I'm a teenager.

[agentgymstudent]

And he's a grown ass adult with the power to command armies and if he decides a sixteen year old should be executed for not being able to do an adults job perfectly, which adults can't do perfectly, its because he's morally corrupt.

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter rubs at his face. ]

Well it doesn't matter if he's corrupt if I'm dead anyway! He's my UNCLE. I just - want to make him proud.

1/2

[agentgymstudent]

...

[His expression only shifts a bit.]

[The amount of ICE COLD MURDEROUS INTENT is its own sort of pressure.]

2/2

[agentgymstudent]

[He breathes.]

[Let's it out.]

[The cold rage dissipates.]

[He knew the Emperor was bad. He figured the uncle wasn't Great, but he hadn't made the connection They Were The Same Person just yet.]

Family who is willing to kill you for any reason isn't someone you can make proud.

They're too vile inside to be proud of anyone in a meaningful way.

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter winces at that, unable to deny it, and yet. ]

But - I love him. He's still my only family. What other choice do I have?

[agentgymstudent]

You leave and find other people who will actually love you.

And I know, that is far easier said then done. Its always so easy to say, but in practice, its one of the hardest things to do. It will hurt. You will doubt yourself. You will be afraid for many reasons.

[He reaches out to put a hand on Hunter's shoulder.]

But there will be other people who will give you the care you deserve, who won't expect anything from you besides being able to be in your life.

[pyrighteous]

[ He allows the touch. ]

I ... I don't know anyone like that.

[agentgymstudent]

Sometimes it takes time to find those people, but they are out there.

It sounded like your friends from home were becoming like that, if not already.

And I'm pretty Flapjack is like that, right? [He looks at the bird with a gentler look, before looking to Hunter.]

And I'd like to be your friend too. Even if I'm a weirdo who might be older then he looks or cursed or whatever.

[pyrighteous]

[ Flapjack peeps and nods happily at that. ]

Really? You want to be my friend?

[agentgymstudent]

[He nods.]

I do. You seem like a good person, a hard worker, a little dramatic, but honestly, so am I.

So yeah, I think we could be good friends.

[pyrighteous]

...

[ He wipes mud off his face. ]

I guess if one person wants to be my friend, that's worth trying again.

[agentgymstudent]

[He offers a small smile, its the best he's got.]

[But he stands up and offers his hand to Hunter.]

And you've got two, at minimum.

Come on, let's go see what else we can do to kick that old man out of the driver seat and see about doing something fun after all this.

[pyrighteous]

[ He slowly takes Leo's hand. ]

Y. Yeah. I don't want him to be in control any more.

[agentgymstudent]

[He pulls him up to his feet.]

Good. And I'll be with you every step of the way.

Flapjack too.

[Emotional support palismen are Valid.]

[Also I guess is there an exit???]

[pyrighteous]

[ the painting exit goes back to the hub! You can talk to the guard or go straight for a different painting. ]

[agentgymstudent]

[Well, he did notice the squawk when he came in, so he guesses he should talk to this dude too.]
