I have not had much chance to talk. Uraha, Ryuuya-dono and I are now on the run, so the time spent here is limited.

Ryuuya-dono is someone I can trust to protect me absolutely. He came to the shrine about a week ago, and unlike all the other guards I have had, he was truly kind to me. Although the fool sometimes overdoes it with his teasing...

What's keepin' you from livin' free?

[bonywings]

I'm a winged being. We're rare and supposedly dangerous.

[a_wolfen_heart]

Eh? Why's that?

[bonywings]

We have great powers... I've heard of winged beings being able to wipe out a whole squad of soldiers in an instant.

LOL There's a familiar story

[a_wolfen_heart]

...So they persecute you just because they're weaker. Humans always do that. They hate anything stronger that they can't control.

[bonywings]

...I'd like to disagree, but I can't.

[a_wolfen_heart]

They attack like dogs, in a cowardly pack. If you run, they chase. If you fight back, it just reinforces their image of you and they send more people. It's fuckin' endless.

[bonywings]

Most people are nice. They just... frighten easily, that's all.

[a_wolfen_heart]

Yeah, but the rest will turn on the nice ones just as easily, just for showin' sympathy.

[bonywings]

That's awful.

[a_wolfen_heart]

That's always been mob mentality.

You guys need help? I just finally got this collar thing workin'. I haven't tried to use it to go off-world, yet, but I've been waitin' for a chance.

We can't leave this world until my mother is safe, so no thank you. Besides, I wouldn't want to put anyone else in danger but those who have already sworn to give their lives for me. And if I can help it, not even them.
