#obelus

After taking a moment to peer around the back of Obelus's desk, half expecting to see a mountain of them, Hue finally takes it upon himself to ask.

For how territorial he can be about his own private space, he didn't bother knocking or asking if Obelus is busy.

Obelus raises his head from his desk. He's got shadows under his eyes for days. Someone might've gotten a little sick from too much alcohol. What can he say? Having someone else around that drinks like a fish is fun until suddenly maybe it's not as fun.

"Could you be any fucking louder?" He complains, as if Hue was screaming and not just asking in a normal tone. Obelus pushes back from his desk, chair rolling a little more than he expected. Surprise! He has a recycling bin dedicated to his awful habit. Look who is saving the earth. This guy.

Grouchy as hell, Obelus pushes his chair a little further back. There's a filing cabinet. Most of the drawers have files. The bottom one... well, take a wild guess. Obelus grabs a fresh can of something and cracks it open.

OBELUS - DÓMINE

SKU: OE2 Categoría: Cajas para efectos

This divide symbol ÷ is called an obelus. It was first used for mathematical division by Swiss Mathematician Johann Rahn in his 1659 book Teutsche Algebra (meaning "German Algebra"). Before that, it was a symbol used in the hand-copying of documents to indicate that some passage might need to be removed; the process was called obelism. The obelus is a common division sign in English, but can be unknown or mean different things in cultures that don't speak English.

"I'd wonder if it was an attempt at making me jealous or just a perverted desire to be where I've been...he enjoys sharing with me.

It's hard to imagine Obelus doing so sincerely because he is in love with me. Even if he hasn't said it, it's painfully obvious. He does not appear to be polyamorous - sexually, definitely, he's a whore. But he has concerned himself with me, and only me, for the majority of our lives.

If that changed, well...

I'd just have to retrain him.

Obelus is Autocrat’s symphyle. It all makes sense! 

Why was he omitted from the purge, why was he allowed to change caste, why did he get new shiny body, why was his new identity unknown to everyone, but his symphyles and Autocrat? 

Of course this overly ambitious bitch would bind himself to someone with so much power. I love him.
