Aion+LOL=Guilttrip City

Feb 13, 2008 13:33

Aion is holding a purple hyacinth, and looking kind of dazed. Guilt is not a emotion he's used to, and he finds it extremely unpleasant. He finds a Convenient Nexus Couch and sits down, staring off into space for a while, before asking, "What is the worst thing you've ever done for a good reason? How did you make amends?"

Ukyo isn't quite sure what to make of this strange-looking person, but decides to answer their question anyway.

"I tried to destroy the home village of someone who is very dear to me in order to rule effectively as Emperor. I almost died in the process. I'm still trying to make amends."

"How, specifically are you making amends? And how would destroying someone's village make you a better Emporer?"

Ukyo stares at the ground, not meeting the other man's eyes. "They were--are--a village of peasants. Farmers. But they learned to use weapons, and that threatened the social order. They were a threat to my power. I wasn't...I wasn't thinking well at the time. I was too focused on my new power and not on what matters.

"As for how I'm making amends...I gave up my throne. I cut my hair--sounds strange, but it's important. And now I'm going to go to that village again. On foot, alone. And I will beg for their forgiveness. Everyone else I knew is dead. The only people left to me are in that village."

The man managed to sum up in very few words exactly why Aion was an anarchist. "Well, that's certainly a dramatic gesture," Aion said. "But how will their revenge benefit your victims?"

Ukyo winces. "Actually, I'm, umm...hoping that they will let me stay there and live out the rest of my life. I was born a peasant, you know. And my younger sister lives there now--she will vouch for me."

He looks a little smug. "She's a very skilled fighter. I don't think they'll hurt me if it means making her mad. And who knows? Perhaps if they allow me to stay, I may find a place in Kirara-kun's heart. Not a very large place--I'm not so foolish as to think she'll fall in love with me--but she may not hate me anymore, and that's enough for me."

"And just so you're aware," he adds, "I never actually managed to kill anyone in the village. Truly, any damage was done by the previous invaders." He rubs his cheek absentmindedly. Aion might notice the scars.
