[ The room's pretty dark, even for winter in Exsilium. All that is visible is a small sputtering candle and Sho. He looks like he cleaned himself up a bit - his braids are all neat and his clothing looked like they've been laundered, but he also looks a little paler and there's a slight slur to his words as if he was rather tired.

Spoiler - he's just hungry and being broody. Silly bby vampire that he is. ]

If there was something you could get - like an object or a food - what would it be? Is there something that you would kill for? Or would it be something different? Would you kill for a person? Would you kill to protect?

Or should we just accept how things are and not think of whatifs and could-have-beens?

[ This was going to be an offer to work with the smugglers in bringing goods over from the UE but Sho's train of thought got derailed by other matters. ]

Part of my purpose is being a weapon of Mankind and the Emperor. So of course I would kill, for many specific reasons, though with one underlying goal in mind.

[urnotafraid]

So it doesn't get trying to you?

[priad]

Why would it? I'm Astartes, I've been created to serve, in war or in peace. Killing is just another form of service, as long as you are doing it for the right reasons.

[urnotafraid]

It bothers some people to kill, even for the right reasons.

[priad]

Those people probably weren't hypno-conditioned for the task then.

[urnotafraid]

Probably not. It's a human thing.

[priad]

And that is why, I think, humanity made its protectors different from themselves.

[urnotafraid]

Maybe in your world, that's how it is. In mine, it hasn't gotten that far.

[priad]

It will in time.

[urnotafraid]

Probably.
