There is a path other than violence.

A path that is made for the weak.

I beg to differ. You don't need to be weak to find an alternative to killing.

You simply need to understand your options.

Options, kill or be killed is the only options my race has. My creator made it this way.

Perhaps that is what is taught in your society but there is always an alternative.

Your creator couldn't possibly have come up with every contingency for a non-violent course of action.

My creator is an asshole with a sadistic streak wide enough to make a beast like me. They wanted exactly what I am to give them an outlet that their world denies them.

Do you feel that an existence of violence is really fulfilling for you? Your creator doesn't make all your choices for you after all.

I enjoy their screams, I relish their fear and I anticipate the moment their life flows into my jaws and over my claws.

And you feel no remorse for the taking of that life?

None at all.

I'm really not sure what to say to you then. Other than I hope you do find some inner peace somehow, when you seek it out.

[She pauses.]

Were they at the very least people harming you or others you care about?

[It wouldn't justify it entirely in her mind but she would be a little less uneasy knowing that he only did it as a means of defense. She had a feeling that wasn't the case though.]

I have nothing inside but hunger.

[He may surprise her with his answer.]

They forced me and my twin to fight to the death. There can only be one alpha. I murdered them not long after and each pathetic beta who has tried to grovel at my feet since. Or any who has stood in my way.

I don't think that is really true, that you only feel hunger.

If that were true you would try to fight me. You have intelligence and an understanding of your situation.

Why fight one small human? [That and she may remind him of one person out of centuries worth of people who has reincarnated time and again, with his mark upon her. The one person, he seeks out for something other than death and destruction. Yet, even that woman will say, he loves her not. Merely possesses her.]

An intelligent predator is more dangerous than one who simply hunts.

But that's just it. You classify me as someone weaker than you. Why wouldn't a real beast just eat me and never bother to question it?

There is more to you than just your hunger and there is more to why we're not fighting than you just not bothering to fight me.

[ Taki knows this type. Bravado. Fearlessness. Arrogance. Befriending an Alpha male by sheer coincidence often leads you to understand the complexity of a nature they claim to be brutally simple.

To start, he knows that belittling words of reprimand are useless. No, worse. They come off as a threat; encouraging a challenge of wills. The antithesis of turning any situation mild.

Compassion. Understanding. Only the most sincere sort, without any pretense, is acknowledged as neither an attack nor condescending words of a pandering superior.

Still. Someone with unflinchingly murderous extremes is not his forte. But he hopes, in not knowing the man, that this is bluster. As a commander in the military, Taki tries to perceive more than just what is given at first glance- and see the value in all men. ]

Words have their worth.
But if one's demeanor cannot speak eloquently enough to say what hasn't been spoken- then he's not truly a man who can convey his own mind.

[ It's a flowery and over-blown way of suggesting that 'communication' isn't limited to conversation; and that the other man shouldn't write himself off as inept at interacting with people. And therefore- resorting to violence. Sometimes saying things without words can be just as successful, if not more so. They can get in the way. Or so he's experienced. ]

As with most things, the two need to work in harmony.
Not alone or entirely without aid of the other.

Still. Perhaps your Writer simply needs more patient company.
If someone took the time to truly listen, in the place of making it seem as though there was blame to lay in their direction-

Perhaps the feeling might be different?

Less frustrating.

Do you always talk so much? My creator's issue is not blame but anger a desire to do what they know they can only allow me to do because their world punishes those who solve their grievances with violence.

[Sorin could point out, he is no man at all, he is a thing of nightmares and fear. A creature made for violence and bloodlust.]

Edited 2012-09-18 04:25 (UTC)

Not always.
Sometimes things need deeper explanations than a few words.

[ He makes a face, not so much towards the other man himself but simply at the notion of solving problems with harm. Taki's seen enough bloodshed to disagree in the notion of anarchy and Carte Blanche brutality. ]

I'm regretful to hear there is so much anger in their world.
Something such as that-

[ To him, this simply sounds like someone in pain. Wishing to lash out. Bottling this feeling up. Seeking a source to vent said frustrations. The signs are there. And after all, few other sources are so potent and vivid as it, in culminating that feeling in particular. ]

It tends to poison the person who carries it around.

Edited 2012-09-18 04:31 (UTC)

Explaining things is a waste of time.

[The face is met with a smirk, purely sadistic in nature. Eyes give a hint of red when they flash.]

Everyone is tainted, even weak humans desire the power to eradicate their foes. If they did not, they would not have created me and there are others like me.

[Sorin has known no feelings since the day he ripped his twin's throat open to claim his place as alpha. Such are the customs of his pack. Such is the reason he knows nothing but violence.]

Depends on whose throat you're ripping out and what they did to deserve it.

Their co-worker and it has been well earned. As for me, any throat I please because I wish it so.

Figurative ripping out then, at least in the case of your mun.

Can't say I've never had that urge before, although I tend to keep it under wraps unless my family is threatened.

Different worlds have different rules.

Unfortunately, they'd rather something more real but humans and their rules.

Family is a weakness.

Rules are made to be broke.

Only if you let it be.

Being alone is a weakness too. Most lone wolves don't last.

Our custom made it a weakness, that custom made my strength. Fueled my anger.

I've lived a century since I ripped the last of my pack to shreds for that custom. Alone.

Edited 2012-09-18 05:14 (UTC)

What custom is that, then?

...I said most, not all.

The one that pits twin against twin for the right of becoming the alpha when he grows.

You are careful, do you fear offending me?

That seems a waste of life.

Hardly, I'm more than capable of handling one rogue wolf.

That is the custom I abolsihed with their deaths.

[Sorin smirks.]

Or so you think.

Can't say I blame you, although surely not everyone in your pack deserved to die over that.

I don't make statements I can't back up.

They all watched, congratulated me as his blood flowed fresh into my mouth.

Yet you don't know what I am capable of, so you may be doing just that.

Would it not have made more sense to kill them first and then ask what your brother wanted?

You're a wolf, are you not?

We were pups, I need the life blood to become an alpha and to murder them. He asked for me to do it, he could not.

I am, but remember, different worlds breed different powers.

Edited 2012-09-18 05:50 (UTC)

Those not suited to be wolves tend to be culled from the packs. Some people just don't take to the life.

I remember, but then I don't pick fights rashly.

Edited 2012-09-18 05:54 (UTC)

All in my world are born to it, our bite is toxic to humans, it does not turn them. He could not kill me. He carried too much emotion. They were all weak.

I am not picking a fight, merely pointing out the flaw in what you said.

The ones who survive the transformation are granted a year to adapt. If they don't, they're culled. It's a rare thing for a child to be born with the ability to shift.

I think my wife is currently the only living person who can produce children with the ability, and I don't recall saying you were picking a fight.

Do you not think it makes your pack weaker? For them to start life as a human? A pureborn is born with the natural instincts of a wolf.

Communication with words is trivial and never conveys the true point.

Hardly. Instinct comes with the change, although a pack is only as strong as the Alpha leading them.

Words convey as much or as little as you choose for them to.

I have a feeling if these two had extended conversations they'd constantly butt heads XD

Most definitely, so long as he was kept from wolfing out.

Well Kanaya could hold her own if that happened at least XP

I like her already!
