Muse Test?

[theholywarrior]

As long as the malfested still exist, I shall wield this blade to annihilate them all! The same goes for you, woman. Do not stand in my way or you might face a similar fate. I'm a warrior of justice. Only I can defeat the evil that has befallen on this world and purge it from existence.

I have no time to deal with mere trash like you. Therefore, release me from the spell you've cast! I must continue on my hunt for the ringblade wielder. Once I find her, I will find the truth regarding my sister.

Until then, I won't allow you to halt my efforts!

Geeze. Like, okay, we know the seriousness of your situation, but would it kill you to smile a little?

[theholywarrior]

Smile? What for?! I have no reason to smile and this not a smiling matter.

[calmheaven]

Quest for justice don't have to be so somber, yanno.

[theholywarrior]

What are you trying to say? I should be cheerful?

[ Cheerful + Patroklos = Cannot compute. ]

I'm cheerful enough, I think. I know that someday I'll free my sister from the curse. That is enough to keep me somewhat...happy, I guess.

[calmheaven]

You guess?

[theholywarrior]

No, that thought does make me somewhat happy but I will be at my happiest once I freed her from the curse. Then and only then I will finally be at peace.

My sister won't be made to suffer any longer.

[calmheaven]

Hey, just promise me one thing, okay?

When you see her again... be sure you can still smile.

[theholywarrior]

[ Her request gets an odd blink from him, but it makes him wonder if he could smile even after all the ill that has befallen upon his family thus far. ]

Fear not, I will.

[calmheaven]

Because, yanno... If I were in her position? That's what I'd wanna see.

[theholywarrior]

[ A slight frown settled on his face as he thought about what Natsu said. Had he been in his sister's shoes, he would want to see her smile more than anything in the world. ]

...You're right. I don't want her to see me like this, not without a smile to welcome her.

[calmheaven]

Eh, I'm usually right about this kind of thing.

[theholywarrior]

[ He chuckles lightly. ]

Are you now? Then maybe I should ask you for more advice.

[calmheaven]

The next one won't be for free

[theholywarrior]

Oh? Let me guess, I'll have to buy you dinner next time.

[calmheaven]

You catch on quick.

[theholywarrior]

[ He couldn't help but chuckle at that. ]

I doubt Leixia would like that, but it's a deal.

[calmheaven]

Eh, she'll complain, but she can deal.

[theholywarrior]

Then I'll be looking forward to it.

However, what kind of foods do you like? I know Xiba can eat anything under the sun.

[calmheaven]

Yanno I don't think I've ever tried Greek.

[theholywarrior]

If that's the case, then I must insist that we travel to my homeland of Athens. There you'll sample the best cuisines that Greece has to offer.

[calmheaven]

Man, get past all the hero business and you really know how to treat a lady.

[theholywarrior]

You're teasing me, aren't you?

[calmheaven]

Eh, a little.

[ex_calculations153]

What manner of nonsense is this?

[theholywarrior]

Nonsense?

[ Oh, no you didn't--]

I wasn't speaking to the likes of you in the first place, so begone!

[ex_calculations153]

Your voice carries all across this little space ... you may not be speaking to me, but you, for the time being, have my attention.

Be grateful that I'm willing to grant you even that, pawn.

[theholywarrior]

How dare you!

[ He might not know who this man is, but Patroklos is almost certain that this man has to be a heathen of some kind or worse, a malfested. Why else would this man appear before him with such malicious intent?

This new challenger better wise up soon and leave while he can. ]

You're churlish demeanor won't be tolerated here, dog! It would be wise for you to mind your words before you find yourself skewered by my blade.

[ex_calculations153]

Please, my calculations and genius have already played out the battle you are even thinking to have with me.

You lose, in any case.

[theholywarrior]

I wouldn't lose to a pathetic man such as you--Wait.

[ He finally notices the oddly shaped weapon the man's carrying. ]

...A ringblade?

[ Whoa, wait! There's no way that this man could be the one he's looking for. He doesn't fit the description at all. ]

Where did you get that weapon?

[ex_calculations153]

Where?

It has been mine since I took control of my land.

[theholywarrior]

Huh, what? So you mean to say there's "two" ring blade users?

[ Gah! This makes things a little more confusing but at least this bastard doesn't seem like the malfested he's hunting down. ]

Such an impractical weapon. I don't see why anyone would wield it.

[ex_calculations153]

Two? That's almost troubling if I did not think the second was not some novice.

The practicality of it is lost on those who cannot see brilliance.

[theholywarrior]

I can see brilliance just fine. However, from what I can tell you don't fit the definition of brilliance.
