You think highly of yourself.

We are imprinted, yes. But I do not belong to you.

I had not considered the likelihood of an imprint at the time.

[It slipped his mind. He's a little mad at himself for it.]

[belli]

naturally.

[ hm. ]

i suppose it is difficult for you to accept. however, since the imprint has occurred, it is best that you come to terms with it, robot. you shall only benefit from being mine possession.

[warminded]

[Come to terms with it... He can't argue with that, unfortunately. They're imprinted now whether he likes it or not.]

I would appreciate that you don't call me robot.

[Normally he'd just let it slide, but not right now.]

How exactly do you believe I benefit?

[belli]

you are a robot, are you not?

mine possessions naturally come under mine protection and care, whether it be during our stay within this universe or long afterward. any association with me is advantageous, no less one of such permanence.

[warminded]

I am an Exo. My name is Felwinter. You know this.

Your protection did nothing for Satoru.

[belli]

i shan't stop patho-gen from doing what they see fit, even if i am admittedly not enthused about the loss.

[warminded]

Shan't or can't? Have they collared even you?

[A stupid question, and he knows it, prompted by frustration and messy emotions.]

[belli]

shan't.

they've invited me here to assist with their endeavors. i have no reason to intervene with their affairs.

[warminded]

I thought the same.

I was brought here to help. I have a responsibility to do so. And perhaps that would make the indignity worth it.

[There's a "but" there, unsaid.]

[belli]

indignity?
explain.

[warminded]

Being experimented on. Twisted into monstrous forms and eventually losing ourselves entirely.

Is that not indiginity to you?

[belli]

i consider the soul a generous gift, so no, it is not an indignity in mine eyes.

[warminded]

A gift.

[With incredulity which doesn't translate through text.]

Because you did not have one previously?

[belli]

yes.

[ he is quite fond of his natural soul, even if it is a bit demure. ]

[warminded]

And you are not concerned about corruption? The gradual loss of self?

[belli]

no, of course not.

as quaint as this soul may be, it shan't ever be able to best me.

[warminded]

Hubris is a dangerous thing, Aodh.

[Speaking from experience.]

Though I am sure you will dismiss my concerns as you dismiss all else.

[belli]

i am unlike you, exo.

i have nothing to fear from corruption or insanity. hubris may be dangerous, but i am even more so.

[warminded]

It's precisely because you are dangerous that I'm concerned.

[He has no idea what Aodh is capable of, only that he's very powerful. What damage could he do if he did lose control?]

[belli]

haha. there is nothing to be done about that, alas.

[warminded]

Alas. [So dry.]

Even so, ignoring your opinion of the soul you were given, they still brought you here and experimented on you without your consent.

[belli]

humans have always been a daring lot.

i don't mind it.

[warminded]

I almost envy your ability to simply not care.

About what people do to you. About what they think.

[It seems like it would be liberating. It also contributes greatly to the pervading sense of danger he gets from Aodh.]

[belli]

i have nothing to fear from lesser beings.

[warminded]

Yes, that is the impression I got.

What are you, exactly? You make it very clear that you are not human.

[He can allow himself so rude a question, he thinks, with someone like Aodh, who simply does not care.]
