Is the truly night that bothersome?

[cooperating]

The night is a natural occurrence... It does not bother me. But the light is also necessary for certain things.

[devilingenuity]

Without the light, things simply learn to adapt to the dark.

[cooperating]

True, but I feel the City has enough oddities that we must already adapt to. I'm sure this night will not continue for too much longer.

[devilingenuity]

How very positive. But is the dark something merely physical to you?

[cooperating]

If we are discussing philosophy, then I suppose darkness is a sense of being that is lacking light.

[devilingenuity]

Do you believe that darkness can ever be a positive?

[cooperating]

...I believe that darkness is a shroud. It can hide many things, both negative and positive.

[devilingenuity]

Good.

[cooperating]

Does my opinion matter so much to you, sir?

[devilingenuity]

Blanket statements dishearten me. To find those who give stereotypes a manipulative chance is pleasant.

[cooperating]

You speak like a scholar. Might I know your name?

[devilingenuity]

A scholar? If only, truly. Vergil. And yours?

[cooperating]

Then perhaps just a very wise man.

Larsa. Larsa Solidor. A pleasure.
