juliet, the dice was loaded from the start

KILLIAN

Ianto's world didn't have gods and goddesses? Killian couldn't really imagine a world like that, without the blessings and curses that the gods evoke. It could be kind of nice, he thought, to be free of that ever present notion that someone knows all and judges all, the notion that your life is in their hands. Or it could be chaotic, with nothing to keep humanity in check. It could be a freer life, he thought.

But he would never know, unless he got dragged out of this world and into another, again.

Killian gave a hearty agreement, Mhm, to Ianto's statement, it was all madness for sure. But I kind of dig it, he added with a sidelong glance at his new friend, wondering if Ianto felt the same. Yes it was crazy, and insane - but it was also enthrallingly new, and so alive.

His head bobbing up when Ianto stood, Killian sensed that their meeting here was coming to it's end. He was reluctant to rise at first, but there was no reason to remain seated here if there was no one to relax with, he'd much rather get back on the move. His full stomach protested perhaps more than his weary paws, but he ignored it and gave his muscles a long and luxurious stretch. He chuckled to Ianto, then replied with a purr, I'm flattered, oh great spirit guide.

whatever and ever, amen
oh well, maybe not, let’s try again

Ianto

Hah, yeah. Me too, Ianto agreed about this strange new world, though granted he dug it a lot more now that people he half-recognised were starting to turn up. And this place inside the barrier wasn't so bad after all, he supposed. As Killian stretched out Ianto followed suit and did the same, his ears flattening back briefly before his shook his fur out and seemed much refreshed by his brief lie down.

Cackling down their mental bond, he ducked his head in a nod. Your spirit guide is very pleased, traveller, he said, suitably mystical, though the amusement dancing in golden eyes said everything. He didn't presume to get too close to the cheetah, but he did circle around him and flick his tail as if by way of farewell. Until next time! Waiting not a moment longer, Ianto loped away back towards the Greatwood, having sampled enough of the delights within the Hollowed Grounds for today.
