I dislike destruction as much as anyone else, but I can't share the same malice that popular opinion seems to have towards fighting. The physical thrill of it all aside (I'll admit I partake in this-- would that make me biased?), a fair battle has always seemed more honest to me than politics.

Why, Mr. Aker.

And here we'd hoped it wouldn't come to this.

[virgocentric]

Expectations aside, I regret nothing.

Is that a no?

I expect you at the hospital admitting soon, Mr. Aker.

Though if you're too injured to come of your own power, I'll be there to fetch you.

I'll be fine, but thank you. I'll stop by soon.

[And he wastes no time to get there. Maybe he didn't want to be in a hospital, but of course he'd figured out where it was beforehand. Just in case.

Glancing around the facilities, Graham doesn't look all that much worse for the wear. Significantly paler, but otherwise, nothing.]

[mechaeonical]

I do not comprehend, Graham-san. I am unable to see the relation of battle to honesty. They are discrete concepts.

sdlfkjls why do you do these things to him

[virgocentric]

Ah-- there's... no need for the honorific.

The way I see it, a battle holds no pretenses or need to be deceptive beyond tactics to fool the physical senses or to outlast an opponent. It may be more violent, but it's less harmful in other ways.

:D

[mechaeonical]

I am programmed for politeness to humans. However, I will discontinue its use as advised.

Thank you for explaining. This concept of the relation of battle to honesty remains puzzling to me, but as I am designed for battle, my perspective may be a hindrance.

[virgocentric]

It's just my opinion; don't let it sway you if it doesn't make sense.

Though I'm curious-- how is it that you 'learn?'

[dreamsofnoah]

Mmhmm~, you're right. Yesterday was too much fun for all the fuss people are making about it.

[virgocentric]

Wasn't it? Though I presume 'fun' is largely relative.

[dreamsofnoah]

It was only a game. People weren't even really getting hurt.

[virgocentric]

Pride and feelings were injured here and there, I'm sure.

[haroine]

A fair battle?

[virgocentric]

A fight between two evenly-matched foes. No outside interruptions or influence or treachery-- just the test of blades and spirit.

[haroine]

And when the fighting ends? What happens next?

[virgocentric]

Depends on the victor.
