Welcome to Gaia! ::

Now ignoring Mare, Shun folded his arms as he watched Thorne. There was something more regal in the way he carried himself now, compared to the last two times he had seen him. There might have also been something in the way he spoke. He wasn't sure if this whole nobility thing was getting to his head, or if there was something else to it. If not for the fact that Adoelle wasn't an awful person from what little he knew of her, he might have been more concerned that the man before him would end up like Melany or Ezra. There was a little bit of that still. Despite what Thorne had been talking about, the fact that there were a group of people who considered themselves as Nobles, with fetches putting them up as lords and ladies... that already kind of set one group to appear to be superior than the rest. Everything said here sounded good in theory, but he didn't trust people enough to think it'd go so well in practice.

There wasn't always time to work out compromises when it came to a clash of ideals. Nor were people always willing to levy any ground.

"So you do know some of your rules, then."

With a sigh, he shook his head slowly, "So what now, then?"

Shun closed his eyes, falling silent for a short time.

"The same thing I have told others, because I honestly do not know what else we can do now; learn more. We have barely scratched the surface of this world, the cycles... any of it. Actions made from ignorance will only hinder us."

The answer sounded so cheap at this point. Gather more information. Something made more difficult due to the fact that otherbeings were either cryptic or tight lipped about everything it seemed.

"I do not even know the full extent as to why I fight."

The noble and fetch before him were oddly cuddly with one another. Shun wasn't really sure what to make of that.

"It is not a matter of what I want. I cannot stop, knowing what I know. Not willingly at least," he quietly said, "s**t tends to get worse if nothing is done about it. Even if I tried to ignore it, it would still affect me in some manner. Action has to be taken, as you said. And others may not necessarily be willing to do what must be done."

"If we cannot, then I suppose we will end up crumbling. Failure will be just around the corner, and perhaps another cycle. That is if we are even allowed another chance at this in the first place."

There was absolutely no guarantee that they would be given another chance at this. He doubted the enemy would allow them to keep going at this forever, to solidify his victory.

"It does feel a bit like an impossible task for us, if only due to the fact that we seem to be denied the tools we need."

Shun nodded slowly. One way or another, they probably will end up changing the world. The question was if it was really for the better. And how many sacrifices will need to be made to reach that?

"I would like to limit the casualties if possible, but I feel that there will be many deaths yet to come. In the very least, maybe we can make our own tools for the job in the end."

The detective gave a shrug, then looked up to the rain soaked sky.

"We just need to find our paths..." he murmured, before he began to turn to start walking off.
