on going to exsilium

[1stguardian]

Another war, huh? 

Yeah, I know you were expecting an argument, but this time I agree with your decision. Those people need help. And some of my friends are there. I'm not letting them fight this thing alone.

You just worry about making better icons. I'll take care of the rest.

No one's rotting in prison. Not me. And not you.

[deicidal]

Is that so?

[1stguardian]

Damn right it is.

[deicidal]

It will be far more difficult than laying your predecessor to a proper rest.

[1stguardian]

Nothing worth anything is easy.

[deicidal]

Quite true. Yet to say that it will not be easy does not quite cover the breadth of what you hope to achieve. And if you mean to follow this path, Kurosaki Ichigo, you will be forced to take lives.

[1stguardian]

Will I? A wise man once said that we shouldn't think of how it is, but how it ought to be. And you know how it ought to be?

I ought to change it without killing anyone.

[deicidal]

And you think the old man will be less stubborn than Ginjou?

[1stguardian]

No. But if it's important enough, you don't let anyone stop you. No matter how stubborn they are.

[deicidal]

And nothing will stop you?

[1stguardian]

Not even the Spirit King.

[deicidal]

I have said the same, you realize.

[1stguardian]

You say that like you failed.

[deicidal]

Is that what you think?

[1stguardian]

I don't think you failed. But I'm starting to think you do.

[deicidal]

Don't be preposterous.

[1stguardian]

Don't talk like you have then. Setbacks aren't the end. Nothing is. Not unless you let it be.

[deicidal]

There is nothing that will stand in my way, Ichigo. Nothing. Make no mistake of that.

[1stguardian]

Better.

Now say it like you mean it.

[deicidal]

You doubt me, do you?

[1stguardian]

If I doubted you, I wouldn't be trying to put things into perspective for you.

[deicidal]

I say nothing I do not mean, you realize.

[1stguardian]

There's meaning it. And there's backing it with fire.

[deicidal]

Oh? You would prefer I back it with fire, would you?

[1stguardian]

Yeah. Not the kind that burns down a city. You know what I mean.
