Yeah, I know how it sounds. It's alright, and frankly, I never did understand the specifics behind it. There were surely many more things in play than what we could see, anyway, and I'm willing to accept it as a thing I will never fully grasp. Which is hard enough to admit! But admit it I must.
(Maybe he was just feeling creative? I don't know.)
Oh, gosh, yes, we're not anything like those Primals! I'm sorry he gave you a fright about it. We just sort of fall into circumstances that give us these powers and then have to deal with the aftermath, and I can't say we coerced anyone through any means to follow us or summon us. Maybe he knows something different about the situation, since his frame of events is so different from my own, but I promise that while we are here, we're as human and normal as anyone else. Most of the time. There are at least two weekends a year where people can get their powers back for a short time, but everything's so topsy turvy and muddled that I usually try to wait it out at home instead of getting into sticky situations.
Hm...when you put it like that, then I can't really blame you for feeling the way you do - not that I would, per say. He clearly invited you to challenge him, so obviously he wants your reaction to him to be negative? (Which, again, is baffling to me in a lot of ways, yet completely makes sense in others.) I don't know if Mister Emet-Selch's presence in his life contributes to that or not, since he was confrontational about this sort of thing even before he seemed to begin associating with the man. But I am appreciative of all this information, thank you!
[Note to self, don't mention to Minfilia that you've willingly made soup for this man when he came back from a canon update and had the flu because Dirk is woefully inept at caring for another human being. He tries, he's got the spirit, but. He just. Does not know. Has no bedside manner.]
Minfilia, out of curiosity, I must ask - are there people in this world whom you know from your own? Maybe they might have more information on the Ascian presence here than I can give you. They'd be more familiar with the threat posed, right? And it's possible they could come from a time in your future, and know things you wouldn't be able to know! In this case, the more information you have, the better.
[I hate that Jane is enabling Minfilia to have the big canon talk.]
