[popupshadow]

A liability.

ooc; tags are gonna be slow from this end, sorry!

permatext; also np!

[p2iioniic]

how 2o.

[popupshadow]

I find the choking co-dependence between the parent and child tedious. One needs the other less, especially as the child grows.

[p2iioniic]

well yeah of cour2e.
ii mean.
not of cour2e.
but that'2 how iit ii2 where ii'm from.
whiich ii2 very apparently not the 2ame a2 human culture.

[popupshadow]

Really? [kamui laughs. he's human, but .... he's so utterly removed from it that it's almost a foreign concept to him.] And what did you find out about human cultures and their fathers?

[p2iioniic]

father2 are 2uppo2ed two protect and 2helter theiir kiin but iit'2 a very miixed 2ubject 2iince there are few here who would giive that an2wer ea2iily.
relatiion2hiip2 between human chiildren and theiir father2 are ten2e.
the relatiion2hiip ii had wiith my lu2u2 wa2 kiind of awkward at tiime2 but he wa2n't 100% terriible all the tiime.
ii'd 2ay ii got along wiith hiim better than 2ome human2 here.

[popupshadow]

Humans are fickle with their own alliances, especially when it comes to blood loyalties. I won't say that's the same for the most of them, but there are some families who are happy.

[p2iioniic]

"blood loyaltiie2."
ha.
ha.
iif you thiink human2 are dediicated two theiir blood.
you have no iidea.

[popupshadow]

I do, actually. Sometimes, it can be the most difficult to maintain.

[p2iioniic]

my whole race'2 2ociial 2tructure ii2 ba2ed on blood type.
pretty 2ure your race all 2hare2 the 2ame blood a2 far a2 ii'm concerned.

[popupshadow]

Thus, it equates all, and fails to distinguish one human from the other. [there are lessons here about blood and honour and how both serves to protect as much as to blind. kamui knows it all too well, considering he'd had to decapitate his sister for the safety of the world. not to mention their parents dying for a cause he's not entirely sure he believes in.

in a more amused tone:]

You make it sound like most of your race is perfectly content with the divides, when I'm sure that the reality is far from that.

[p2iioniic]

diid ii make iit 2ound liike that?
becau2e iit'2 the complete fuckiing oppo2iite.
for 2ome of u2.
of cour2e anyone who'2 on the lower half of the 2ociial 2cale would feel that way.
hiighblood2 thiink theiir 2hiit'2 made of gold and would love two keep the 2y2tem the 2ame.
but yeah iit 2uck2 and ii hate iit.

[popupshadow]

I don't blame you. It's a rather tedious way to live in deference to others, especially if you hardly believe in it.

[p2iioniic]

more than tediiou2 iit'2 a goddamn paiin iin the a22.
but whatever iit doe2n't matter anymore 2iince the blood ca2te 2y2tem doe2n't operate here.

[popupshadow]

I'm guessing you're not one of the high bloods, then.

[p2iioniic]

doe2 yellow 2eem liike a hiigh color two you?
