Lies? Excuses? No, no, my dear Zelos. For where in my speech have I spoken what is not truth? Excuses? You may see it as excuse, I see it as perfectly good reasons. As for feeling something not "right", I certainly feel no such thing. Life is complicated enough as it is, intricate and beautiful in its intricacy. Tests of wit every seven cycles, the building of beautifully complex machines, the analysis of an entire new means of thought and expression, and on occasion the creation of entire worlds with but a word and a thought, this is life, this is art and music and the enjoyment of the mundane made fantastic! Simple? Can you not see the infinite complexity of even a single branch of possibility in this one world-tree of infinite branches, among infinite trees in an infinite forest of forests? I see beauty in every grain of sand and every speck of dust, the ridges like beautiful mountains, the crystals like diamonds shimmering in the light of the stars. I see majesty in even the atoms, and the endless and unpredictable dance of their electrons, and the endless wiggling of their strings. I see perfection in a sleeping newborn foal, and perfect love when a couple look into each others' eyes. I am in awe when I watch the trillions of proteins in a single cell working together in harmony and balance. Where is this simplicity you find so tedious and repetitive? Where is this "wrongness" you seek to destroy, where are these lies and excuses you find in my speech? Tell me that, Zelos. Why do you not see beauty in creation, yes, even in our own creations, and the creations of these foolish, petty, short-lived, speck-sized mortals? For there is beauty there as well, though hidden at times, yet the beauty shines all the brighter for the contrast!
Frustration? Pain? Curse? It is true freedom to be free of the limits of universes! And I interact with my creations, if you have ever even noticed in these equine worlds of mine. I thoroughly enjoy watching the day-to-day activities of these quaint creatures, and their little sorrows and joys. It is a delight, in fact, to act as steward and quiet observer and commentator. I enjoyed watching the dream-walker and the experiment fall in love, just as I appreciated the beautiful tragedy as the forgotten love appears in their moment of passion. I felt thrill as these creatures responded to trial and tribulation with staunch determination, and felt pure joy as they comforted one another and showed mercy to their enemies. Where is this frustration and limitation that you feel?
