Graces f spoilers, lalalala oh god what am I doing

[lastalian]

Your human terms of endearment are not only out of place, they are beginning to try my patience. How am I to repay my debt separated from the one I owe? You rival that man in foolishness, that much is certain.

I have neither use nor desire for that old body again. Your arrogance in attempting to control me fails to impress. Perhaps you should return again when you have learned some humility.

O-oh... It's you. Lambda.

[Cheria is kind of shocked, but her mun is amused. She used to play Lambda in an actual game for about half a year.]

[lastalian]

Indeed.

Is it truly so unexpected, in a place such as this?

[his mun wants to use the cute humanoid icons, but nooo. He's stubborn.]

[healedbythelight]

No, I suppose it's not. ... I'm sorry. [She bows her head for a moment.] How... How are you?

[lastalian]

Inquiring after my well-being? [it may be hard to tell, but he's a bit surprised by that.] For what purpose?

[healedbythelight]

What purpose? ... It's because I'd like to know if you are doing well. It would be terrible if your mun is treating you badly, or if something else is bothering you.

[She knows Lambda might still be suspicious of humans, but... What ulterior motive could there possibly be to this?]

[lastalian]

[it still confuses the hell out of him. No one but Asbel and perhaps Richard has shown him kindness in a very long time.]

I am not troubled. This woman is merely an annoyance.

[healedbythelight]

I'm afraid this sort of thing applies to most mundanes. I've yet to meet someone who is on entirely friendly terms with their own mun...

[lastalian]

So they mistreat their fellow humans as well? I should have known.

[if he could sigh, he probably would, but...]

This one is not particularly dangerous, however. Just easily excitable.

[healedbythelight]

[She manages a bit of a laugh.]

Mine is exactly the same. She reminds me of Pascal, from time to time.

[crablettes]

...Lambda.

[lastalian]

Protos Heis.

[did the air suddenly get cold in here or is it just me....]

Here to fulfill your purpose?

[crablettes]

...Will you hurt anyone like this?

[how he's separate from Asbel, Sophie doesn't know. as long as the two of them were together, she knew things would be okay... but what would happen now?]

[lastalian]

[not really the question he was expecting, so there's a silence as he considers it.]

It is more likely I would be attacked before I made any attempts.

[He's not just bitter and cynical--he knows now that people fear monsters, and the unknown.]

[crablettes]

[she pauses as she considers his answer, and what she can do in return...]

I'll protect you.

[lastalian]

[the silence is a stunned, confused one this time. His greatest enemy, promising to protect him?]

You would do such a thing? When your purpose is to destroy me?

[crablettes]

Because you're a Lambda who doesn't need to be destroyed. Asbel trusts you. So I will, too.

[drawnbythesword]

...Lambda. [Asbel remembers Lambda. How could he not? He invited Lambda into himself, after all.]

it's a party in here :o

[lastalian]

It's you.

[he never was good at being polite.]

I should hope your vow still stands, even in light of this...inconvenience.

Party up in here, haaaaay.

[drawnbythesword]

Of course. I gave you my word, after all. No matter what form you're in, I still intend to show you how good the world can be.

/gets out disco ball??

[lastalian]

Hmph. You are still a fool. [at this point, "fool" is probably a term of endearment.]

And just how do you think I would be accepted, in a form like this?

Awww yeah, you wish you had a disco suit like I do, Lambda

[drawnbythesword]

Somehow, we'll find a way. We just need to convince people to give you a chance.

yo I heard there was a party

[ledbythewind]

I think you'll find that words have little effect on them once they've made up their mind.

you heard right

[lastalian]

Typical humans. [there's not as much venom in that statement as there used to be, however.]

aww yeah

[ledbythewind]

And yet you don't seem all that bothered by it.

let's get down

[lastalian]

You believe you know me well enough to tell?

[there's an odd note to his usual deep, unreadable tones.]

but Lambda how can you dance you don't have legs

[ledbythewind]

I may be wrong, but I would like to believe that those seven years counted for something.

[Good thing he is post-Lineage and Legacies so he is cool with you now, Lambda!]

shut up i do what i want. like maybe the shopping cart you can do that without legs

[lastalian]

[shhh he likes to pretend he doesn't do ~feelings~]

How interesting.

[but he's not denying it...]

What exactly did they count for?
