Pretty sure they did it intentionally, too.

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ her opinion of them

has risen considerably. at least half because look at eclipse's cute little smile!!! ]

They're quite cheeky aren't they?

[inspiteful]

It wouldn't be Wu-Jian if we didn't spit at the Realm at least a little.

[dragonheartedgirl]

The Realm is responsible for this--Immaculate Order?

[inspiteful]

Wherever the Realm goes, the Order follows, yeah.

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ Ah! ]

So the Order worships the Realm? Is that it?

[inspiteful]

The other way around, actually. Sorry I wasn't clear. It's...the Realm goes conquering places, then the Order moves in with them and starts spreading their teachings and shit.

[dragonheartedgirl]

Oh, I see. The Immaculate Order is a part of the Realm's peoples' standard culture?

[inspiteful]

Pretty much. Not that it means a whole lot where I'm from, we spent decades trying to kick them out.

[dragonheartedgirl]

Because they invaded your territory?

[inspiteful]

Well, yeah. Can't try to kick them out if they didn't try to move in, right?

[dragonheartedgirl]

I think there are some other reasons you could want people gone from a space... but yes, that's the easiest explanation. I just wasn't sure if it was anything else, too.

[inspiteful]

I did say they were conquerors. And 'some other reasons' is all the stuff a bloody empire does when they try to move in, really.

[ Said with disdain, not so much directed at Hiryuu as it is at what he's talking about. ]

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ she doesn't take it personally--but she feels... no less sad. ]

I suppose that nastiness is always the same no matter where...

[inspiteful]

As long as there are enough people, with enough power, who want or need more things.

[dragonheartedgirl]

Yes, I suppose that's true...

[inspiteful]

...There's no need to look so sad.

[dragonheartedgirl]

It is sad, though, isn't it? That that is human nature... always wanting more, hurting each other...

[inspiteful]

That's just how it works, isn't it? It's pretty hard to get or achieve something without hurting someone in the process.

[dragonheartedgirl]

... It seems harsh to think that's the way it has to be. Surely--there are better, other ways.

[inspiteful]

Like what?

[dragonheartedgirl]

I.... don't know. But I'm not willing to just give up, either, because I don't have the answer.
