[GOOD MORNING. guess who's got feet enough to move again! and it only took, what. a week? good times. though Alex hasn't gotten to prowling yet; he's on the angled roof of the Gilded Castle, the story he'd been holed up in; his feet are dangling in Edel's window as he lounges, trying to...egh...enjoy this too-close sunshine

[Hello. Chii is forever oblivious to everything. She just has one question.]

What is immortal?

[henamedmechii]

You are a dar...kov...?

What is a darkov?

[mongoosegrin]

A Darkov is a weapon. Living and breathing, but a weapon nonetheless.

[henamedmechii]

But...weapons are...bad...?

[mongoosegrin]

Are they? What is it you think they are for?

[henamedmechii]

Chii...

Hideki told Chii...that weapons hurt people...and hurting people is bad...?

[mongoosegrin]

Yes. It can be.

[a child, he thinks. i am talking to a child.]

But I do not believe that is true for all times.

[henamedmechii]

[More or less, yea.]

Chii...

Weapons can be bad...but also good...?

[mongoosegrin]

I come from a place where monsters hurt many people very often. They need weapons to protect them. Do you think this is bad?

[henamedmechii]

Chii?

Chii...Chii does not know...

Weapons hurt people...and that is bad...but if they protect people, that is good...

[mongoosegrin]

You have the right of it now.

[henamedmechii]

And Darkovs are...good weapons?

[mongoosegrin]

I think so.

[henamedmechii]

Do darkovs protect people...?

[mongoosegrin]

Such has been the tradition, yes. I see it...as a side-effect, but the result is all the same.
