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.]

[belli]

i'm a primordial draconic entity.

[warminded]

Oh.

[That's...

Concerning.]

I don't know what I expected.

[But it certainly wasn't that.]

[belli]

it would have been impossible for you to guess.

i am the only one of mine kind.

[warminded]

I would have assumed some type of deity. I know there are others among the augmented.

But I am familiar with draconic entities.

[belli]

no, i am not a deity. i do not share the ambitions of a god.

are there many of mine lesser kins in your world?
