[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?

[warminded]

There were.

They are called Ahamkara. They came to our system from distant stars.

They are also shapeshifters. It was not uncommon for them to take on familiar forms to trick their prey. Human forms, for example.

[belli]

perhaps, i shall visit your system one day and meet them.

[warminded]

That may be difficult.
