[The glass is still blank! But there is a chain with a post. And there is a collar on the end of the chain. It seems like something has slipped its leash . . . ]

Oh, dear. Has anyone seen Alexander?

--you lost a pet?

[holysiscon]

But there could be. Somewhere where humans didn't fear and enslave half-elves, and elves didn't disdain them at the same time.

[foreverjustice]

It's possible, and I can understand why you'd dislike them now. However, rather than trying to find a perfect world, it's better to work towards fixing what's wrong around you.

[holysiscon]

I--I'm doing both! I told you you wouldn't understand!

[foreverjustice]

I'm trying to. I'm not here to judge you, Mithos. I don't think a world will ever be perfect, but it can become a safer place to all living things. I believe people is able to change for the better.

[holysiscon]

I've tried it that way. It doesn't work--people are cruel.

[foreverjustice]

Would you say that about me? About most people here?

[holysiscon]

I'm sure you can be cruel when you want to be.

[foreverjustice]

It's possible, but it's not something I want to be. That's the difference. I won't be cruel, no matter what the situation might be.

[holysiscon]

Liar.

[foreverjustice]

I don't have any reason to lie. However, I think that's something you'll have to judge for yourself, Mithos.

[holysiscon]

...please go away.

[foreverjustice]

No, I won't.

[holysiscon]

You're going to stay there and change my opinion of humans, all by yourself?

[foreverjustice]

No, that's something you need to change by yourself. But I can show you that not all humans are cruel.

[holysiscon]

Humans are cruel. They lash out at what they don't understand--they scorn it or they enslave it. What can you prove against that?
