7: Ignorance is Bliss

Summary:

Koh'a dislikes Hermes.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

Koh'a scowled at Hermes. The tight frown looking strange on his face as his nose slowly wrinkled. "You did not teach them to walk the earth, yet you make them to fly? Do you think ignorance is bliss? That they will never discover the harshness of life? That they are only to find joy out there, in places not even you can reach? Their ignorance is only bliss while they are under your wing- once they spread their own you can no longer protect them. Your own cowardice will show them ignorance is not bliss but the cruellest of fates from their own maker. You have the opportunity to save them from such pain yet somehow you think it's better they discover their master is a cruel creator just like the rest of his peers while they're on planets gods knows how far from home."

Notes:

had this idea of some stuff Koh'a would say to Hermes in Elpis because after spending most of the previous expacs MSQ living mostly in a perceived "ignorance is bliss" state he wants to throw hands cos it's not.
