[heartfulspirit]

To the person who wants to take Asellus away forever and lock her in a tower never to see the sun again:

You'll have to go through me first. >|

-Inoue Orihime, your heroic adversary

I want nothing of the sort. But Facinaturu needs a leader.

[heartfulspirit]

But you can't lock her away forever! That's terrible. What about what she wants.

[blackwingprince]

She wouldn't be locked away. She'd be discouraged from running away for ten years at a stretch, mind you, but she wouldn't be stripped of all freedom, either.

As for what she wants...I don't truly believe she doesn't want to come back. Not entirely.

[heartfulspirit]

But... she told me she'd be locked away, never to see the sun again...

[blackwingprince]

...an oversimplification.

[roseimbroglio]

You want to tell me where the sun's been in Facinaturu, then?

[blackwingprince]

You would not be forbidden to leave, if you chose. Orlouge himself went to the human world on occasion; it was during one such instance where he ran over into you.

[roseimbroglio]

He was chasing Princess Rei down.

Which reminds me... I've still got a harem to build.

[blackwingprince]

At the time, yes. Do you think that is the only time mystics venture out of Facinaturu? Where do you think new mystics come from?

...Harems are not a requirement.

[roseimbroglio]

Well, you haven't sat me down and explained to me that subject yet. When a boy Mystic and a girl Mystic love one another very much...

Are you sure? I think they are.

[blackwingprince]

Mystics can't have children. A mystic is simply a human that died and was given mystic blood; they are then reborn as a full-blooded mystic. Your own half-mystic status comes from Orlouge giving you his blood when you hadn't actually died.

They were Orlouge's institution, and as such should be taken with a grain of salt, as should everything else that was done under his rule.

[roseimbroglio]

From what I recall, I probably should have. I can still feel it, sometimes. On bad days.

Well, at least a few companions. Friends.

[blackwingprince]

I see. I wouldn't know about such a thing.

You don't have enough as it stands now?

note the 'when'.

[roseimbroglio]

A leader can never have too many friends. I'm telling you, I'm going to make alliances. And when I return to Facinaturu, I'm going to use them to help us.

Re: note the 'when'.

[blackwingprince]

Alliances can be as short-lived as the humans you make them with. Keep that in mind in your dealings with them, Asellus.

[roseimbroglio]

...I know. I know.

But if we can lose the 'fairy-tale villain' outlook they have on us...
