[That should probably tip him off but he's stupid? His tail sways against the floor in irritation.]

Am I supposed to be some sort of helper now? Do it yourself.

[rainshaveceased]

I have no desire in forcing you to do anything. 'Twas simply a question.

[auguryofinnocence]

Well you can go ahead and remember that I am not here to help you. And if you think that anyone is, you are going to have a rude awakening sooner than later, boy. Start practicing now, don't bother asking.

[rainshaveceased]

...I shall certainly keep that in mind.

[auguryofinnocence]

Good. Don't speak to me again.

[His knuckles are white gripping his sword, and he grinds his teeth as he turns to go. Sorry he's stupid and hates kids an unreasonable amount!]

[GOOD THING ELIDIBUS ISN'T A KID THEN

GOSH]

Goodness. Would you have been this hostile to me in that other body had you not been warned beforehand...?

[auguryofinnocence]

Squints]

What?

[rainshaveceased]

[sigh]

We have spoken before. Did you not notice that I knew your name?

[auguryofinnocence]

...I thought your unitmates unwisely pointed me out.



Dignity?

[rainshaveceased]

[nods]

Correct.

[auguryofinnocence]

...I apologise.

Yes, you assume correctly, although perhaps not...to that extent. But I do not pretend to be a good man. My kind are the antithesis to yours.

[rainshaveceased]

That is clearly untrue. I have faced our antithesis, and they are nothing like you.

[auguryofinnocence]

Are you trying to say I am better? Your shattered parts may be incomplete and cruel comparatively, but my kind is truly the opposite.

We kill one another for sport and intimidation more than sustenance, though we crave blood enough that even I can be swept up in the sight of it. We have no emotions but hatred and jealousy, pride, greed, nothing that could feel positively toward another. If something is weak, it dies. We do not care about anything or anyone but ourselves, and we have no semblance of society. My world is only a vast wasteland made up of flesh and blood. I can't count the ways we are your opposite.

[rainshaveceased]

...But you do have positive emotions, do you not? You feel love.

[auguryofinnocence]

[Don't? Call him out? In public?]

I - had a human mother. It's different. But the fact remains such things do not come easily to me, and I dislike people as a general rule. So the point is, yes, I am rude and cruel to those who do not matter to me.

[rainshaveceased]

[you called him boy you are getting called out in public for the rest of your life]

I see. Truly, you are a terrible and frightening creature.

And yet, you would help us.

[auguryofinnocence]

[Wow don't talk down to him either, he is a terrible and frightening creature??]

We have established that I am attached to your friends, yes.

[rainshaveceased]

[of course he is]

Yes, I should stop repeating points we have already gone over. My apologies.

[auguryofinnocence]

- That isn't what I mean. I don't know what you want me to say. I just...didn't want to pretend to defend myself, as if I would not normally act that way.

[rainshaveceased]

Were you worried that my feelings had been hurt?

1/2

[auguryofinnocence]

[auguryofinnocence]

...Somewhat, I suppose.

Treating you like a child. Which I have a particular dislike for, at that.

And when I would like to give a good impression to you...

[Please approve of bad stepdad,]

[rainshaveceased]

Admittedly, being mistaken for a child does not sit well with me.

[he might be a little insecure about his height]

[auguryofinnocence]

That I am particularly sorry for. ...I should have known, too. Cosmo also arrived in another body.

[rainshaveceased]

Fortunately, the misunderstanding was only brief and no lasting damage was done. I assure you, I am not so fragile that I would be impacted by something like this.
