You'd be in good company with the people who tell a human he isn't God. [ which is to say he gets both sides of the conversation and just kind of lets it happen. ]
In a way it sort of is? I have a weird amount of downtime suddenly that I don't know what to do with, so... [ gestures around the mall. ] Back to some human hobbies.
Who am I to turn down the advice? I'll take a look and see. Guess it can't hurt to at least try to change some things up while we're here instead of sticking with the old all the time.
Stuff like this wasn't always an easy option before. Heaven, at least, means money isn't a real thing and changes can be made but... the key is time and money both. Having them together is rare, I think.
And this is why you look so much better than I do. [ a teasing smile. but... well. ]
I don't, no. But even before Heaven my time was... used on other things. Whether I wanted it to be or not. Sometimes I got to choose, and sometimes it was chosen for me.
So I do. [ forever bound with duties and guilt. ] ... we'll see. Maybe I'll really find something I can fill the time with and it'll carry over. Only time will tell.

[ she isn't going to push it anymore. ]
I'd jest that this could be a vacation for you, but you care too much for it to be.

At least pick out some different jackets to hide your wings with, hm? Choose a pea coat or leather jacket even if they aren't your style.
no subject
Pea coats are the longer ones, right? I don't think I've ever considered a leather jacket but I'm not against it.
[ also everything's free, so why wouldn't he? ]
no subject
You might like the leather jacket more. It's less heavy.

I'm afraid I know too much money and time.
[ at least she's aware. ]
You don't have much time in Heaven.
no subject
I don't, no. But even before Heaven my time was... used on other things. Whether I wanted it to be or not. Sometimes I got to choose, and sometimes it was chosen for me.

It sounds like trouble followed you, no matter where you went.
no subject
Little bit, I guess. There's a reason nobody's more surprised God chose me to take their place than I am.

... thanks, Roxana. Seriously.
no subject
Of course. Even the little choices mean something.

Autonomy. I know. [ glancing back at the storefront though. ] Still shopping, or are you headed back soon?
no subject
As soon as this becomes too heavy, I'll head back.

[ she smiles and waves a hand. ]
I should be all right.

[ to which he will wave back and we can actually close this thread out. ]
