In honesty it was much less complicated than it sounds, I only knew him when he was a paladin.

I can’t promise your father won’t catch up to you, sadly that is something out of both of our control. What I can say is your life is now yours to make it whatever you wish it to be.

[— 𝘋𝘳. 𝘓𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘐𝘴𝘩𝘬𝘢. @RadiantCobalt]

That is certainly more complicated than I hope for. All I want is simple and quiet and nothing to do with my father. Hopefully he doesn't catch up to me.

[Lotor @EmperorOfGalra]

It never used to be that different, I suffered my fair share of abuse.

He was actually a Paladin of… Well, first he was a prisoner /then/ he became a rebel of sorts and /then/ a paladin.

Good god the more I talk about it the more fucked up it sounds.

[— 𝘋𝘳. 𝘓𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘐𝘴𝘩𝘬𝘢. @RadiantCobalt]

He's a loyalist..? Sages, your world much be so much different than mine.

[Lotor @EmperorOfGalra]

Not a lot of people did expect it, especially the man I ended up dating. We started off on opposite sides but sort of, fell in love.

[— 𝘋𝘳. 𝘓𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘐𝘴𝘩𝘬𝘢. @RadiantCobalt]

[ Repressed homosexual thoughts. ]

I just didn't expect a man, that's all. Not that there's anything wrong with that!

[Lotor @EmperorOfGalra]

*Lotor tilted his head slightly*

Thank you. Are you okay? I haven’t said the wrong thing have I?

[— 𝘋𝘳. 𝘓𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘐𝘴𝘩𝘬𝘢. @RadiantCobalt]

[ He didn't quite know what to say. Sure, the thought danced around in the back of his mind a lot, but– Stuck rather firmly in comphet. ]

I– Congratulations. I didn't quite–

[Lotor @EmperorOfGalra]

An Earth man that I met. We were very much in love, still are. But work and distance came between us. I may contact him again soon, actually. Catch up.

[— 𝘋𝘳. 𝘓𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘐𝘴𝘩𝘬𝘢. @RadiantCobalt]

...he..?

[Lotor @EmperorOfGalra]

*There was a slight twitch at the side of Lotor's mouth*

I found love and we planned a family, unfortunatly it never came to pass. Afterwards I never really had anything serious again until... But he and I have not spoken for some time.

[— 𝘋𝘳. 𝘓𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘐𝘴𝘩𝘬𝘢. @RadiantCobalt]

[ He paused a moment. He had a question, but he wasn't sure quite how to ask. It seemed so...intrusive. ]

Did you ever– Sages, forgive me for asking. Did you ever get to start a family? Or am I insane for even wanting to try?

[Lotor @EmperorOfGalra]

No need to thank me, I was once in your position. If I can help you any more please don’t hesitate to ask.

[— 𝘋𝘳. 𝘓𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘐𝘴𝘩𝘬𝘢. @RadiantCobalt]

[ The fight in his eyes. To reject what he wanted for what he felt he was obligated to do. What could be more Lotor? ]

I... Thank you. It's not like I have anywhere else to go but away.

[Lotor @EmperorOfGalra]

*he nodded*

Then do it. If you have the means let nothing stop you and just go.

[— 𝘋𝘳. 𝘓𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘐𝘴𝘩𝘬𝘢. @RadiantCobalt]

And I just want to disappear. I don't want to spend my life cleaning up his mess. I want to fall in love and have a family and never hear of the empire again. And I– I intend to do that.

[Lotor @EmperorOfGalra]

There is a difference between fixing the mistakes of the past and bearing the responsibility of those mistakes. You never made them but you can put them right.

Standing on your own two feet and paving your own path, it’s something wonderful about it, even if it takes time.

[— 𝘋𝘳. 𝘓𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘐𝘴𝘩𝘬𝘢. @RadiantCobalt]

I'm the crown prince and the sole heir to the throne. How do I *not* bear responsibility to do something?

[ There was a sad, almost helpless look in his eyes. He'd had a hand on the heart of it all, and he'd wasted it. ]

[Lotor @EmperorOfGalra]

But what? Go on, what argument do you have for holding onto the actions of another you had no control over?

*He folded his arms over his chest, head tilted slightly and making sure to keep his voice light.*

[— 𝘋𝘳. 𝘓𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘐𝘴𝘩𝘬𝘢. @RadiantCobalt]

But–

[Lotor @EmperorOfGalra]

Because nothing he did was your fault. Just because you are his child doesn't mean you should be held responsible for his actions.

[— 𝘋𝘳. 𝘓𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘐𝘴𝘩𝘬𝘢. @RadiantCobalt]

But I am his son. How do I not bear responsibility?

[Lotor @EmperorOfGalra]

There are a lot of people who want to do something about him, and in time they will. Focus on making a life for yourself away from his influence and as your own person.

[— 𝘋𝘳. 𝘓𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘐𝘴𝘩𝘬𝘢. @RadiantCobalt]

I want to disappear. I'm so– I want to *do* something about my father, about the empire, but I just want to be no one for a change.

[Lotor @EmperorOfGalra]

//I'm sleepy and my ADHD is on overdrive but I can't nap and i'm forcing myself to focus.

[Lotor @EmperorOfGalra]

Understandable. It can get very tiring.

[— 𝘋𝘳. 𝘓𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘐𝘴𝘩𝘬𝘢. @RadiantCobalt]

[ It had only been a few weeks, but that bruise was incredibly stubborn. Sure, he'd always taken a long time to heal, but it'd barely changed in color. And Lotor could barely sleep. ]

I have to say, I am getting rather dizzy from "rolling with it."

[Lotor @EmperorOfGalra]

*He was still so young, Lotor could barley remember that far back.*

No one is ever fully prepared, so much can and will happen that it's sometimes best just to roll with the punches so to speak.

[— 𝘋𝘳. 𝘓𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘐𝘴𝘩𝘬𝘢. @RadiantCobalt]

I... It is hard not to mourn all of the time I have lost. I know I'm only 24, but– I lost 24 years of my life. And I'm so unprepared for everything this universe has.

[Lotor @EmperorOfGalra]

*He shook his head*

It can be dangerous to go down the "I should have" route, own that you /did/ get out. And I know it's really /really/ easy to look at the negatives but focus hard on the positives.

[— 𝘋𝘳. 𝘓𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘐𝘴𝘩𝘬𝘢. @RadiantCobalt]

[ He pulled his collar back up, pulling up the snug fabric a bit higher than it'd been before. ]

It's not the worst he's done. I should have gotten out sooner. But- I am lucky to be alive.
