[ Admittedly, Rinoa misses stability too... although for her, stability is a person, someone she knows she can rely on no matter what. If he were here, the constant changes in the environment here wouldn't bother her as much as they do now, for sure. She misses the people much more than the place.

But she does miss the place, too.

She sighs. ]

I think I get it? My home's not perfect either, but...

[forceofnature]

But it's yours.

And it's your responsibility to make it less of a burning trash fire.

[Viridi gives a shrug.]

I've got a lot of duties.

[pinwheels]

[ She smiles at that, even if the expression is a little weak, and nods in Viridi's direction. Yeah. She has responsibilities back at home, responsibilities that she can't fill while she's here. Meeting so many new friends is nice, but...

She'd rather not dwell too much on that. Rinoa brightens her smile, the thread of curiosity tugged by the mention of the other's duties. ]

What kinds of things do you have to do?

[forceofnature]

Oh, you know.

Maintain the balance of all 10 billion species on the planet, keep the humans from killing all of them, protect all of life and the earth itself.

Basic stuff.

[It's not like she lives at the shrine because she's a mortal.]

[ Rinoa's brows lift in surprise. The truth is, the Void has been her first introduction to people who would be best described as gods. Where she's from, the only god was Hyne, and according to the legends he's been gone for a long, long time, leaving the Sorceresses as his only legacy.

Being a descendant of Hyne carries with it its own responsibilities, but... nothing like what Viridi is describing.

She smiles. ]

You might call it "basic", but it doesn't sound like that at all. It's gotta keep you really busy, right?

[forceofnature]

Eh.

[She looks unbothered.]

Yes, but also, it's the reason for my existence, so, you know. I'm the manifestation and defender of all Nature. What else would I do with my time?

I mean, the system works fine the way I set it up, anyway. It's just that there are a few spanners in the works called 'human greed,' 'human ambition,' and 'human selfishness.'
