[Saïx begins talking apropos of nothing; he simply turns on the video and starts with a question.]It is interesting, isn't it? There are those who found themselves in the bodies of others, initially with no memory of who they were... Tell me. Those of you who experienced this: did you feel the stirrings of emotions for those you knew? Or did you

[even though it was his 'heart' that helped him regain his memories, he isn't about to state that point-blank. Instead, he drawls in true form:] I imagine my heart probably stayed with my body, as it is wont to do.

As for being driven by it? I sincerely doubt that.

[video]

[bringthefates]

Is that so? [Saïx is sure the boy means his physical heart. He's just not going to speak assuming as such; he'd rather know for certain.]

And why do you doubt?

voice;

[alphaophiuchi]

Give or take a little. That sort of thing can't precisely leave the body without drastic consequences.

Because I like to think I can keep myself in check a little bit better than that.

[bringthefates]

Drastic consequences indeed. [If he could be amused, he would be. That statement suits both the physical and metaphorical heart; he knows the boy only means one, but Saïx himself means both.]

How certain are you of your ability to keep your heart in line? When it hurts, do you not move to protect it? When it yearns, do you not act to fulfill its longing? When it fears, do you not tremble? When it rages, do you not strike?

[regardless of what Saïx means, Draco finds the entire conversation rather annoying. He barely stifles a sigh.]

Pretty sure. And I really don't see how that information concerns you in the slightest, either.

[w h o o p s. He let himself get into the old rhythm of "let's pick on teenage boys." Saïx inclines his head.]

You are correct. My most humble apologies.

[alphaophiuchi]

[good thing Draco's end is voice only, because otherwise this would be the best sneer ever.]

Somehow, I doubt that.

[video]

[bringthefates]

I am sincere. You are, of course, free to doubt to your heart's content. [ha. look, he made a funny]

voice;

[alphaophiuchi]

Right. Aren't you a bloody witty one?

All this talk of hearts. One might think you were obsessed.

[video]

[bringthefates]

[In all honesty, the pun was an accident, but Saïx knows the boy wouldn't believe him if he explained that.]

If yours was torn from you and you wanted to find a way to get it back, you would sound the same.

[alphaophiuchi]

[a bit of a silence here.]

Excuse me?

[video]

[bringthefates]

Wouldn't you be focused on what was stolen from you?

voice;

[alphaophiuchi]

Perhaps. How are you still walking without a heart, though?

[video]

[bringthefates]

[There we go. ... seriously, though? Seriously? These people, for the love of All...]

The metaphorical heart has nothing to do with walking.

voice;

[alphaophiuchi]

Let me tell you this, not having a 'metaphorical' heart? You're really not missing that much.

[video]

[bringthefates]

Oh, really?
