"I will never stop fighting. I believe in my cause, and I'm going to do everything I can to protect my family. That requires fighting, striving to do your best all the time so no one can take advantage of a moment of weakness."
Like Ares and the Blood Moon Court had done. The events there had torn apart the Negaverse, and now was a time for rebuilding. There wouldn't be any weak points again, not if Scheelite had something to say about it.
"But...I believe I can make the decision not to kill again. And hell..if I can avoid it..well I'd rather not do this whole combatant thing again. I'll fight on in other ways, rather than the physical beat down game I've been playing for far too long."
"That is my decision...it's taken me a while to come to it, but there it is. I hope you come to your own decision, in time, and I urge you to not just look upon us as monsters like so many of your comrades do."

"It's hard not to look at someone on the opposite side as a monster. It's what people do. That's what got each country through the World Wars. Propaganda, name-calling, de-humanization. That's how people can bring themselves to kill, I think." Or so I've read... I've never killed anyone. She had no idea what it felt like, and wasn't sure she was prepared yet to know. She was still new, still at the bottom of the totem pole. As she worked her way up, if she could work her way up, would she have to kill? That was something she'd have to think about.
Better to break than to outright destroy? If her power was any indication, she had a feeling she wouldn't be able to kill anyone - they may do it for her, and that thought made her shudder.
Kallichore tilted her head and sighed. "I suppose I'll cross that bridge when I come to it but, for what it's worth, thank you for being polite."

"That is what they want you to think. I can call you alien all I want. You can call me a monster all you want. But you know what? We're both kids, stuck in this war. There's reasons we're here, and things we fight for. To claim each other not a human to make it okay to kill? That's...worse than this whole battle itself. We're not monsters."
Unless they've made us that way. Tanzanite's words rang in his mind, the memories of that night flashing back in his mind once more. For a moment he looked startled, but he quickly shook it away.
"You're welcome, Kallichore. Thank you for allowing me a quiet night free of bruises and broken bones."

The senshi shook her head. Whoever they were, they had used their influence to go all the way back into history books to change the information. If it wasn't human nature to justify killing by calling the opposing side monsters, lower beings and the like, then someone was playing a huge cosmic joke on the public school system. "I don't think of you as monsters, if that helps at all." she said, her voice low. The alien comment confused her a little, but she let it slide. Something about being from space was unusual and familiar to her.
It was getting late and she could hear the tolling of the Destiny City Library bell in the distance. It chimed eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve times and then struck one again. How long had they been talking? She needed to get home, and no doubt Scheelite did too. He had family, Negaverse or no, as did she. She gave him a polite nod.
"I have to get going, but thank you again. I hope we continue to meet on amicable terms in the future."
(( EDIT - Feel free to have Schee have a reaction post if you'd like. You don't have to, but now Kalli has a lot to think about. <3 ))
