[ 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. ]

How much of living for them should a person do in that case?

[a_million_blossoms]

Living for another person... is a burden to carry. I suppose you should do it until you feel it is time to put the burden down and continue on your own. But sometimes, putting the burden down is the hardest part.

I am not the right person to answer this.

[After all, he hasn't put his own burden down - or rather, he only put down part of it - and he isn't planning on dumping the rest for the foreseeable future.]

[urnotafraid]

Yeah... I guess it is.

[a_million_blossoms]

Why are you asking this?

[urnotafraid]

Just wanting to hear what other people have been thinking about this.

[a_million_blossoms]

You cannot accept your fate?

[Just an assumption based on what he read.]

[urnotafraid]

I'm just tired of it.

[a_million_blossoms]

Those are the words of one who has seen too much and lost a lot.

[urnotafraid]

I would say that you're right there.

[a_million_blossoms]

How long are we talking about here?

[urnotafraid]

Most of my life.

[a_million_blossoms]

A human life is rarely long enough for anyone to go down to that level of weariness.

[urnotafraid]

There is that, but sometimes you find people who have lost a lot in war and hard times.

[a_million_blossoms]

What is your name?

[urnotafraid]

Sho.

[a_million_blossoms]

[Not a great talker, that one. But that's fine. Byakuya appreciates quietr.]

Kuchiki Byakuya.

[urnotafraid]

[he is actually a chatter mouth but he hasn't been feeling the need to talk to anyone for a long while.]

It's nice to meet you.

[a_million_blossoms]

How long have you been here?

[urnotafraid]

Probably a month? I really don't know; it hasn't been that long.

[a_million_blossoms]

Approximately the same as me, then.

[Strange that he isn't keeping track, but then again, not everyone here is trained military. Things would probably be simpler if they were.

[urnotafraid]

[ It could also be because they are immortal and such things just never matter to people living forever. ]

Yeah? Huh, it feels like it just happened to tell the truth.

[a_million_blossoms]

[This one is also basically immortal - not really, just very very hard to kill, and he's been alive longer than you, Sho. But he's also military.]

They are terribly disorganized about this whole thing.

[Meaning, he doesn't blame you for the feeling.]

[urnotafraid]

[ The same with Sho. That what sucks the most about being a vampire. ]

They really are.

[a_million_blossoms]

Have you had any explanation as to why you in particular were brought here?

[urnotafraid]

Maybe they need someone that actually knows how to use a gun.
