You are not the only one able to speak with animals, Gundam. You cannot fool them, and they will not lie to me.

[sthampede]

That they followed my direction while I was influenced by the Despair Disease speaks to their fallibility, Your Highness. Why should they not be mistaken about this as well?

[cursedtosleep]

Yes, that is true, the Wargs were following what you instructed and you were under the effects of the Disease, making you say and do awful things. However, they would not have listened in the first place, if they did not trust you.

theyyyy really ought to be having this conversation in-game why is life hard

[sthampede]

... Does that not make my crime all the more monstrous? In the face of such innocence, I turned them to—

[Wait. Is he proving her point? He stops and looks angrily away from her.]

It matters not. Such deeds... are within my capabilities. It is foolish to ignore them.

Yes, they should, but he has to make the first move ^^;

[cursedtosleep]

[She quirked a brow and offered a smile. Yes, indeed he was proving her point. When he turned away, she moved to reach out and touch his shoulder.]

Yes, it is within your capabilities. You can be cruel and you have it within you to do great harm, but if you were as cruel as you so insist, would it eat away at your heart the way I know it is now?

b-but what are humans. alternately, how would he even reach her though. also she is scary

[sthampede]

[The instant the touch registers, he flinches away from it, putting an additional pace or two between them simply because. His reasons for not tolerating contact with human flesh are... different, perhaps, from what he may have claimed before falling prey to the Despair Disease, but they remain as strong as ever. That aside—]

Do not presume you understand me, Princess Aurora. My existence is well beyond any mortal's comprehension.

[... except that that excuse has remained entirely unchanged, if only because he'd spat it out by reflex. Still—]

It would be better to put this incident behind us both. And... for your safety, if you were not to contact me again.

Scary? What how?! XD

[cursedtosleep]

[She frowns and sighs, pulling her hand away. There he goes again, insisting he was not only something other than human, but something beyond hope.]

Perhaps I do not understand you. I certainly cannot understand what would make a boy with a kind heart insist he hasn't one. More than just that, but also insist that he could harm someone of his own volition.

But I do understand that you only wish to stay away from me because I am not willing to accept the lie you are telling me.

... she's a girl and she's nice. i D O N ' T KNOW

[sthampede]

It is no lie, Princess Aurora. This... diabolical fiend you see before you, this black, corrupted soul, is my true self.

That you would still reach out after having been warned... is your most confounding quality of all.

[cursedtosleep]

[Without pause she replies:

No, Gundam, you aren't. I know what that is, and you aren't even close to it.

But even if you were, I would reach out, if that is what you needed.

[sthampede]

[He's silent for several moments, then—]

I suppose that means it is my turn to say farewell.

... Goodbye, Princess Aurora.

[cursedtosleep]

Goodbye again, Gundam.
