[ honestly, that's a mood. he will drop his arm not long after once it's settled. ]
I tried asking the reapers where the rules were coming from and couldn't get a straight answer. Something about it just being extra fun? [ which, again, fun for who!! who did this!! his emotions seem to be projecting those same thoughts. ] But it's not worth ignoring them when it's not that hard to fulfill them.
Well, for example - rules like this are fine. But if there was a rule to do something I really hated, I wouldn't do it.
I guess it's like...I was always taught to care about following the rules a lot, but I've been learning a lot of conflicting lessons. I don't think the advice I got was always good.
So when it's little things it's easier to go along with it, but if it's important I want to decide for myself.
[ okay but mad respect? he can absolutely respect that and the look on his face seems to say so even if he doesn't respond right away. ]
I think...that's probably the smartest way to do it. People will always tell you what's right and wrong, but they're still opinions half the time. Being able to decide for yourself is kind of a big deal. [ so. fair. ]
But at least we don't have any big decisions to worry about right this minute. Right?

[ ...raising an eyebrow though. ]
What counts as a big rule?
