"Well, it was less about questioning you specifically, and more about questioning why most people think that there's an 'honorable', or 'right' way to fight. For me, honor and fairness go right out the window when I'm fighting for my life."

"Also, I'm not really mad about that, I don't think Valor swings that way."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"To be perfectly honest, I don't think he remembers that... or even notices. I've hit on him a few times since then and he is literally clueless."

Chris had a good, quiet chuckle over that. He and Seyena were whispering so it wasn't likely the swordsman could overhear them talking about him like he wasn't around.

"So yes, you have a point there. I don't think he's even aware there is a 'that way' to 'swing', as it were."

He stretched and cracked his knuckles in preparation to switching back to the other topic she had brought up.

"Anyway, well, yes, that is an equally valid way to think and fight. I don't exactly fight 'fairly' myself."

"It's just that I would not want to die alone, either. Unlike you or anyone else present, neither heaven nor hell await me; when I die, my existence completely ceases. So even if it's the man or woman who defeated me, I would want someone around for my end, to remember that I ever walked these lands."

[Gamerboy4life]

Seyena gave a wry smile.
"I think your definition of a fair fight would be giving your enemy a knife and shooting them in the face when they give you a funny look."

"Your existence... Do you not believe in the afterlife?" Seyena asked, looking curious.

[Praefectus Screptum]

"Gentlemen, ladies, relax... if there is something that people really should not discuss about are their beliefs and ways of living their lives. As for the assassin guy, he is one of us now. I am actually really glad he decided to join us. His thoughts are really close to the thoughts we share on the castle. But it is a pity that not too many wanted to join the guard. We really could use more people there, you know there is a lot more to be learned besides the basic about the Plague Dragon."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Your existence... Do you not believe in the afterlife?" Seyena asked, looking curious.

"To me, the evidence suggests that they exist. The same evidence also states one needs a soul to be damned or rewarded. Something more than the body that continues on once the shell has rotted away."

He tapped himself on his chest.

"I have no such animating force; I surrendered it in my childhood. I do not - can not - feel very strongly about anything, I do not dream when I sleep, I find it very difficult to speak untruthfully - the only falsehoods I can tell are ones that I do not know are false..."

"Although... in the past few months, I've felt more alive than I have for most of my life. I... have friends now. A family. People who accept me for who I am despite my faults. I have a purpose."

"I actually do care for the lot of you, not just Ami and Tantallos and Olison. It's strange... but it's nice."

(Ninja Tant... >.>)

"Gentlemen, ladies, relax... if there is something that people really should not discuss about are their beliefs and ways of living their lives. As for the assassin guy, he is one of us now. I am actually really glad he decided to join us. His thoughts are really close to the thoughts we share on the castle. But it is a pity that not too many wanted to join the guard. We really could use more people there, you know there is a lot more to be learned besides the basic about the Plague Dragon."

"It's all right. I don't mind, Tantallos. If people are going to work with me, they should probably know about my... disadvantage, I suppose you would call it."

[Gamerboy4life]

"No... soul?" Seyena almost wanted to ask why. But she couldn't. Did that... make Chris inhuman?

She thought for a minute, before her lips curved into the smallest of smiles. No, humanity wasn't based upon an invisible object.

"Regardless, you've still turned out to be a better person than most people with souls; including most of us here."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"...Thank you. That's kind of you to say. ...I wasn't expecting that."

"To be honest I thought you would say it was creepy!"

"I wouldn't be offended if you thought so. It's simply a fact. I've learned to cope with it."

"Incidentally, would you like a marshmallow? Standing offer."

Chris retrieved his bag of marshmallows from under his chestplate and ate one.

[Zako]

"Oh dear, it seems I've done it again... I've had a lot of trouble with the whole 'social' thing, so I apologise if I came of as insulting or something like that. I suppose that sort of thing happens when you've been around books more than people... In any case, thank you for letting me have that tome. I hope I can be useful with it in the future.

As for your supposedly soulless condition..."

Edwin shrugs and makes a noncommittal grunt.

"It doesn't matter to me, not really. Good or evil, innocent or killer, soul or soulless, in the end it doesn't matter. When we die, we will simply just break down over time and merge with the natural currents and magics of the world, which is where we emerged from in the first place. The world doesn't care what you do or have done, it will simply go on regardless, like it always has and what we were will be reused in the creation of something else. So, in a way, we're all immortal and have always been. Food for thought, as I like to think of it."

((Sure, I'll wait for Valor to get out of the way.))

Hold position.

Something round and hard hit Chris' back. It was the bulbous handle of Anja's sword.

"Spy guy! I can't believe you just passed by me and didn't even say hi!"

Her wagon moved deeper into the abbey, just a bit, whilst Mannan approached Alexander and fixed his wounds.

20+14 = Up to 34HP healed

It looks like the rain is getting weaker.
