Mm... to return to something...

[Echoing the words to himself, neutral, even as his mind winds through nostalgia.

It has... been a long time since he belonged enough to anything to return to it. And now instead he will go to death's embrace once he finishes his business here.

It doesn't hurt accepting this. But he does wonder if being in this Realm will...

Well. No matter.]

Ah, yes, before I forget -- were you gifted an item on Friday, perhaps? I would share my knowledge with you, if you would do the same for me.

[arkitect]

There is much work to be done there, yet.

[so it's not exactly going to be a joyful return, or one after which he can relax... but a return, regardless.

the question pulls his thoughts back, however, and he nods.]

So I did. I take it yours has some function as well?

[antaressnipe]

Yes. If I concentrate on a person while holding it, they will lose self-confidence for twenty-four hours.

[arkitect]

A loss of confidence... interesting. I wonder how many are detrimental effects.

[ah, right. his own:]

Mine will prevent the intended target from sleeping until the next Monday.

[antaressnipe]

[-- Yikes?]

You mean to say, no matter the day you use it on...?

[arkitect]

So it seems, yes. It could be potent, if used correctly-- though it goes without saying that I would not do so without reason.

[antaressnipe]

Yes... it is the same for me as well... though I believe I'd only consider its usage if it would disrupt a trial in a manner to my liking.

[Which, frankly, would only be if he was killing and for some reason could not afford to get caught.

As they've already discussed, Chiron does not move without purpose... so the chances are slim in his eyes.]

[arkitect]

Then we are largely in agreement, there.

[with a slight tilt of his head, he adds-]

Who was with you?

[antaressnipe]

Hansa.

[-- and then, with blunt honesty]

He will likely use his at some point, but I have trust he will behave himself to some degree, since he knows that I know.

[arkitect]

I do not necessarily expect Sora to use it, on the other hand, but if he does-- well. The two of us are aware.

[antaressnipe]

Ah, yes. Sora.

[Smiling.




Another one of his kids, maybe.]

That one amuses me. Though he doesn't realize it, a variation of myself taught him how to fight.
