But, he sure is listening. Oh, the kitty cat had something of a crush, huh...?
Though, it sounded complex. Complicated, even.
The Warrior of Light does not sound like a title nor a mantle that is worn by just anybody. And it must have quite a bit of history to accompany it. ]
...It could be different, because there's a different history. And, a layered one.
[ The pull is nevertheless never so much less than the one G'raha felt towards Warrior of Light, but he thinks the experiences might have been a big difference. ]
I'm not an expert in the heart. Even if it could be enough.
...But, it's good it's Siffrin. They'll treat you well.
[ Blade doesn't have to put a sword at their throat and threaten Siffrin to treat G'raha well. Bullet dodged there as well. ]
[ Blade is right. His connection with Siffrin wasn't wrought by a century of waiting and a pedestal that he felt he could never reach. There's something more equal about their bond, even if Siffrin is a complicated puzzle in a pattern he's never seen before.
As a scholar, he craves the adventure that comes from it. ]
Indeed. [ He smiles, slightly, but it disappears soon after. ] My only hope is that we can free him and the rest of those that have perished. I certainly overstayed my welcome in the Reflexion after the carnival, but 'twas still not nearly enough time.
[ Blade can tell that for G'raha this bond is something that lights a flame in his heart - or something decidedly romantic. Look, he has recently gotten to know what that is like himself - and unfortunately, he is finding himself knowing what it means to be a side character in a romantic story with horror elements.
...Or maybe that is unfortunately his mind getting away from himself when he is indulging in levity. What are these people doing to him... ]
...Doubt he minded you overstaying. Just ask him.
[ He says this without a semblance of doubt in him. ]
Truth is, I'm not sure how to free or save them. I haven't done anything like that before. Like this, before.
But, wouldn't be surprised if it isn't impossible to free trapped spirits.
[ It'd be like those exorcist stories on the Xianzhou. Not that he reads them! But he knows they exist. ]
[ His tail swishes a little at that, mild embarrassment radiating from the movement. He hopes that Siffrin didn't mind. ]
I believe Sabo mentioned something akin to the dead being located somewhere within the mirrors, and Yoonhee's information about various reflections seemed to corroborate it. I imagine our clues lie there. Although how we are meant to breach those reflections is another story entirely.
There could be a way of entry we don't know at the moment.
Since this space is unstable.
[ It'd make sense to him. Find a spot that'd make them able to enter - like, you know, safely? But Blade is willing to take risks. He's always been about that (even if Dan Heng is probably ratshaking him from afar for being like this.) ]
And I never considered you one either, friend. Though you did underestimate me upon our first meeting, I imagine your view of me has since been adjusted.
[ But there's a teasing undercurrent to his tone. ]
Between the both of us, I imagine we will see things through regardless of the danger involved. 'Twould be nothing I haven't faced before, certainly, and I'm sure the same can be applied to you.
Then he closes it, before crossing his arms. He realizes he's being teased here. ]
...I have no idea what you're talking about.
[ Blade is briefly pouting again...he doesn't know why he reacts like this whenever he is teased, but he just can't help it. Anyway. ]
I'd say you're right. But I can't say I experienced being tossed into a place where I was encouraged to kill people and be duplicitous about it before this.
[ He thinks...he tried to joke, though his humor still sucks. So: ]
...The other potential dangers, though. Yes. Dangerous supernatural phenomena can be conquered with enough thought and skill.

[ So, he's thinking along the same lines as Blade here. ]
A risk, certainly, but one that I am willing to take.
no subject
They are evidently quite aligned here. ]
It's good that neither of us see fit to shy away from risks. Then again, I never thought of you as a coward.

I've never had experience with anything like this before either, and I would like to think I have experienced many, many things.
[ So, like, this is a new one.
But he crosses his arms. ]
Thought and skill, precisely. Which means we need to do our best to think about every one of our actions.
[ He knows....... Blade does not always do that.... ]
