"I saw my best friend awaken." Massalia acknowledged softly. "I don't want her to fight, either. She's.. She's very nice and friendly, and good to everyone. I don't want her hurt." Massalia shivered. "I'm scared she might get hurt."

Persephone nodded. "Then stay with her. Don't let her be alone. Being alone is the worst thing you can be." It was strange, she supposed, to be giving advice as if she were still on the same side as he was, but oh, she still cared so much about chibi senshi and about everyone on the Order side who was foolish enough to believe the lies they were fed.
"I didn't want to fight, either. I hated it so much. But sometimes...sometimes you have no choice." Sometimes young girls bled to death in your arms and there was nothing you could do about it.

"Is someone with you, too?" Massalia looked around, half-nervous a Negaverse general or so might jump out yelling surprise before bringing him down, and he swallowed nervously. At her next words... His brown eyes turned back to Persephone, going wide with worry. If he was a more cuddly child, he'd offer a hug, but for now, no, it was best not to try. "Did someone make you fight?" The chibi asked quietly. He worried. She seemed nice...

"I'm alone tonight," Persephone said. "I'm a little safer, especially inn comparison - oh, I have tricks up my sleeve that will make sure that even if someone does attack me, I'll be quite alright." She could teleport, she had new magic that she had yet to test, and she could end a life with a well-placed hand.
Oh yes, the Corrupted Eternal was quite safe on her own.
"But when I was White Moon, I was attacked several times - and other times I just ended up in the middle of things and I had to keep people safe, you know?" She sighed. "I mostly failed." And failed spectacularly, at that. "But not anymore!"

Massalia peered up, hen down. "I'm scared. Cause I don''t wanna hurt anyone. But I want to protect people important to me. An' keep them safe." The Chibi looked up. "What if something unexpected happened? Something bad?"

"Bad things happen all the time, pup," Persephone said, "but you have to keep going." Could she really say that? Had she kept fighting, kept going, after Biela's death?
No. The exact opposite, really. She had given up and embraced Chaos and hoped that all of her memories would be gone, that she would be a blank slate with no more pain and suffering and grief.
"You have to decide when it's worth it to hurt someone. Our definitions of when are probably pretty widely different," she had begun to consider what it would be like to experiment on starseeds, and of course that would require harvesting from living beings, "but you have to have your line somewhere."

"Oh..." Massalia was quiet a long time, mind mulling over things. So many seemed surprised he knew so little. Knew nearly nothing, at first. The Chibi looked a bit down about it, and looked up. "I'm afraid. I'm only eleven. I don't want to die." He srung his hands. "And.. Mama always said everyone's perce..perce... Sees things different. But, I'm still scared." So very scared.

Persephone frowned. Eleven. "You have no business fighting," she said, her voice soft. "You're too young to be out here risking your life. Too young to be meeting some of my...less kind comrades." Way too young to risk running into Bischofite or Mica or any of the other terrifying, ruthless Negas she'd seen.
"You have every right to be scared. I was scared all the time, when I was Order. I'm not anymore - I know that I can count on other officers if I need them, and that I'm strong enough to handle myself - but oh god, I was always scared."

"...Don't want to hurt any people. Keep monsters away from my family and friends but..." Massalia looked up. "Don't want to hurt people. Isn't that war? People hurting each other?" He knew it sounded childish, but the boy was positively heartbroken as it was. He didn't like everyone acting like he /had/ to harm people. Even if they were bad.

Persephone sighed. "Yeah, that's war," the corrupt acknowledged, reaching up to run her fingers through her wild tangle of hair. "And both sides think they're right. It's too bad you're so young - not even really old enough to choose for yourself."
She smiled a little, faintly. "It took a real shock to get me to accept that sometimes I'd have to fight. It took Chaos to give me the strength to actually do it."

"Don't like it." Massalia said quietly. "War hurts people. Even people who don't deserve it. It's why I've never- never seen Juarez." Especially why. Admittedly this was far worse than the Mexican Muder Capital in some degrees... But it didn't make him feel any better. "Why doesn't everyone try to make friends?"

'Why doesn't everyone try and make friends?'
How many times had she wondered that herself? How many times had she wished that being a magical girl meant for her what it meant on TV - that her enemies were monsters or people who were just a little misguided and could be saved with the power of friendship or love?
It was stupid to even hope, but she couldn't say that to a child. "Well, because there are people on both sides who don't want that. Maybe if we were all one," if everyone embraced Chaos, "but until that happens..."

Massalia looked downcast, brown eyes seeming to drift down slowly. "Wish that we could." He said quietly. "I don't like fighting. It's scary. I'm scared. Don't want to lose anyone." The Chibi Senshi looked somewhat downtrodden then, as if he knew it were impossible-- though in his young mind anything was possible, he still wished. With his whole heart. "Are there nice monsters?" It was an odd question for a child, but he still reeled from Bischofite's words, and he wanted to know if he judged too quickly.

"Not to us," Persephone confessed. "Not even to me. Youma - the monsters - they really, really hate Senshi." She laughed a little. "But to officers? Yeah. Some even have bonded youma of their own, ones that follow them around and stick at their sides. Some of them are intelligent, can talk, just like people."
She sighed. "In the end, they're not...really monsters at all. My General, the one that's been keeping me safe since I corrupted, told me that they were people once upon a time, soldiers of Earth, but that in the last war between Chaos and Order, they were transformed by a really, really powerful Senshi into what they are now."

"...Oh." Massalia looked down again sadly, frowning some. He'd hoped-- hoped maybe to find hope to fight less, to not have to harm... Possibly misjudged anything. But if they might hurt him... Or Subra... Was he bad? Naughty? The frown on the chibi's face betrayed his disappointment, Bischofite flashing in his mind, and hew shivered. "Don't like it. Why?"
