⚔ // once upon a dream

[discutio]

[You all know the drill by now. Ignis and Camilla have taken over the nearest kitchen, and there's going to be food in the Pokemon Center soon enough; a warm and comforting vegetable curry. Highwind's even out now, welcoming any and all who might need a large cloud bird to hug after everything that was.]

[It's been a long night. Everyone needs a good meal and a long rest, and luckily one of those things is being seen to immediately.]

[he can hear you moving, thank shiva, because he really doesn't want to get stabbed]

Precisely so. A task requiring intuition, more than logic.

[eudaimonikos]

[It's fine, he doesn't stab things he doesn't want to.]

Not a strong suit for demons. Our whole system is very black-and-white - it's something I've had to work on. Where do you want these vegetables?

[discutio]

There should be a clear spot on the counter a bit to your left, just leaving them there for now is fine.

Regardless, you do seem to be grasping the base concept easily enough.

[eudaimonikos]

Alright.

[Veggies accomplished!]

Well, Chidi and I worked on it some, pretty early on. Chidi's one of my human friends, he's a professor of ethics and moral philosophy. [And suddenly so much about Michael makes sense!]

[discutio]

[...you know. it sure does but he's not going to point it out.]

Glad to hear it. I think you've every chance to get a handle on the idea, if you keep it up like this.

[eudaimonikos]

Oh, thank you! Humans approach things so...differently. Only partially because of your flesh brains. I think it's more mortality; angels are the same way as us, you know, with the black-and-white?

[.....]

I guess the flesh brains could be a part of it.

[discutio]

I think a case could be made for both having some part in it. I can't say I'd know for sure.

[eudaimonikos]

Doesn't matter. This is way better than hanging out with any of the rest of those losers. You know, I actually met an angel once? Bo-ring.

[discutio]

Honestly, I've never known most of our gods or messengers to be much for engaging conversation. Just one or two. Nightmares or not, the difference is almost refreshing.

[eudaimonikos]

Wouldn't call Darkrai much of a conversationalist himself. But yeah - the immortal crowd around here is mostly alright. Even Darkrai doesn't sound like he does the nightmare thing just for laughs.

[Not saying his reasons are exactly airtight, but they're a step above outright sadism.]

[discutio]

We can certainly do worse than 'doesn't quite grasp human morals', I think.

[eudaimonikos]

I can't exactly drag him for that.

[But at least Michael makes an effort?]

Cresselia seemed to have a better idea, maybe she could help him get it.
