I told you, I don't know for sure. The only way to see something like that is through a spell that's illegal, outside of executions. It's been seven years since I summoned him the second time, so... at the most, it's probably just a few years.
Of course I do. It may not be easy, but I'd rather spend my time doing something meaningful and protecting my people than focusing too much on how it hurts.
...I've done a few things for myself. [ she sounds defensive, voice small. ] But I can't just do what I want all the time. A priestess has to prioritize the people and gods she serves.
|It's the only thing I ever really have the chance to do. The temple mostly has books on history and magic, but I could stand to get better at my calculations...

[ he's right, she just doesn't know that at this point. ]
...No, but I don't know how much I had in the first place. To be honest with you, though, I probably don't have a lot left.

If it's just a few years, don't you want to... I dunno. See them out? With the situation you're in now?

[ not that. she's very good at it. lmao. ]

... Nah, like. How much of you have you given away to people? You could do something for you, hang what other people want.

[ he just raises an eyebrow. ] A few. Most people live to the extremes if they know they're running out of time.

I mean. That's one thing you can do. But literally just not being a damn workaholic for a day counts.
no subject
I haven't been working that much since they brought us here!
[ that's not better?? ]
no subject
[ C'MON. ]

It's just that my job is very important... Everyone's safety matters more than my own entertainment.

If it's what you enjoy doing, and it's not working yourself to the bone? Then yeah.
