"You can understand my concern, can't you, we rely on a power that has a million outlets to be corrupted and make us all agents of chaos. EVen if we no moved our code pieces, it only makes whatever planet we move it to a target that would need to be guarded. The code could also leak secrets about every agent if it does get influenced again. It fought before but who knows if it isn't now more susceptible after its first corruption."
He turned to him. "If the rings are just a messaging system then it's not necessary. If they created by the code it's a link to you directly telling IT where you are at all times. What other benefit does it even have? If I didn't use its power to fight, if I could make my own power, then I'd never use the Code at all."

Nodding his head, he could understand. But what could they do? It seemed like there was no solution to the problem, and it could indeed be an issue. With magic he didn't want to assume something was, or wasn't, possible as it was magic and that alone went against all sorts of scientific laws and laws of nature. "What can we do then?" As the other seemed to have a better mind for such things, he was after all the only one worrying about this...the only one mentioning it.
"Rings seem to only be for talking...till this upgrade." Now they could monitor a persons health. Now someone, who wasn't chaos, could read that information. It served some purpose and helped. At least he thought it did...and for someone like himself it could help a bit more.
"Don't know if code made rings but didn't make upgrades." He supposed he could understand the other not trusting the code but...was it really that bad? He didn't think it was that bad but it could be made to be bad...and maybe it was easier to do than they thought, maybe it was something to be concerned about.
For a moment he felt himself still, shock hitting him, to make their own power? But...would they even be knights then? No...it would disconnect them from the code and their planet - wouldn't it? And then poof no more knight but then what? At least, as far as he knew, such wasn't possible but the idea of it even was shocking and that someone...the other knight in front of him would want that...that he trusted to little and was that worried and concerned. Did that mean that if, and he did mean if, it was possible to make your own source of power..that the other would leave them? Leave the group?
Their little group of knights was already small and he knew if Torin could do it so would his partner and then what? Him and Erebus and the little ones? He was not leader material and, much as he loved him, he didn't think Erebus was either. But this was getting ahead of himself, it wasn't possible....right?
"Plan to see if own power is possible?" He questioned, wanting to know where the other stood, would he look into it and try it perhaps. Was their little group in danger?

To this he sighed at the same problem that Venice was just now seeing. "For now, I don't know if it is possible. Thus far, everyone has just been servants to some other power. Chaos had Metallia and the Queen to it. There is Cosmos on the moon helping the senshi out and whatever will spring up later. The Code has the knights. All ranks. All power levels. Drops trickling down from a stream. A source. If there are other powers to align ourselves with, either the other powers won't say so, don't know, or don't want us jumping ship for them. The real game seems to be the right hand of whatever devil we prefer, but no one is able to command that power. No one commands the Code, to Chaos, and whatever the senshi have. Whatever was found was found ages ago. I'm a bit too green to begin competing in that race when so many others are centuries ahead. That is unless something shows itself."
He slowly sat down, scratching his hair before adjusting his eyepatch. "If there was a way to contain our Codes, to keep them shielded, I think that would be the only solution, but in the end one unchecked planet could mean trouble for all of us. I'm.....not in any way a person who can purify, but......it would be something I would like. It would make the other side weaker."
He picked at some gravel on his boot before looking up. "I just wanted to warn you that whatever you say near the code, and whatever you do with that ring, isn't without it's problems."

"Something more neutral...not either end but middle ground..." Which was something he would in all honesty prefer. he didn't like that his side was 'all good' or the other 'all bad'. There needed to be a balance and right now there were two sides fighting with no middle ground...both sides seeking the removal of the other. But then that would over balance things, it was no good. "May be nothing else...no way to know. Too big..." Motioning to above them - to space. Too many unknowns and they were all limited, and by so many things.
"Whatever was found...the sources for them?" He asked before shaking his head. "price to pay for that surely...a balance to maintain...and if too much on one side it wants to be in the middle again." Though it was over balanced now it felt. If the balance between the sides was over balanced something would have to give...but what? When and how?
"Will be careful. Code is far away from ancestor so talking there should be safe." He liked talking to his ancestor, he enjoyed the elder mans company and the small talk about the birthplace they shared.
"Maybe a way to shield them...or can make a way? Would need to look into it and testing...would need to work together - a few of us."

"Even a few people working together is hard enough, and I'm certainly not the man to split himself into focusing on that when I already am dealing with enough. Most people are sided with the Code and don't question their almighty authority power fountain and consider the word of a aged ex-Negaverser as flawed. No. I don't see anything being done about it. Not unless someone else who is respected by the knights steps forward and if the knights actually bother to listen to them or dismiss them just as easily. No one wants to take orders, and they take concern and advice even with less." He sighed before setting his chin under his hand and looking out to the street as he sat down.
"Is there anything you want out of the war? No just winning. Not just peace. Anything.....personal? Selfish?"

Yes, he'd heard at the gathering that Cosmos knight had called about fighting, Erebus and others had mentioned it. he'd heard them mention how these things tended to dissolve into fighting. Why did no one want to work together, as a unit? Why did they want want to try and survive this war? Didn't they know that the best way to survive was together because it afforded them sources of information, such as the former Negaverse agent turned knight at his side? It also afforded them people with different skills and abilities, both civilian and powered. It seemed like it was just a bunch of people who didn't understand and didn't care to, who let their ego's and over confidence rule them, as they seemed to think they knew more or simply were better. It didn't bode well really. But how organized was the other side? That he didn't know but he'd heard and seen his own side, though not much, he would see in time more of his own side.
"Doesn't bode well for us....not if can't work together as a group - all knights." He said shaking his head before he flashed the other a bit of a smile.
"Nothing selfish...well maybe not. Peace would be nice, speaking of this war. Didn't expect to be pulled in when I moved here...but accepted it. Could try and help to keep family safe and myself...knew what was really happening in this city. Just want to live without this fighting one day...no danger of magic looming." To be able to live as he had back home, to go around living his life normally without knowing he could be attacked or that someone else he cared for could be attacked. He didn't like knowing that.
He hadn't heard that the Negaverse had already won the war elsewhere...including his own home country. He had never heard of attacks in Seoul so hadn't known there had ever been a danger there. Here he knew it, knew it before he even got here. He'd found it online - terrorism in this city and all sorts of stories.
So maybe his reason was selfish, as he thought about it...maybe just a bit. Though it was also him thinking of others, but he was thinking about himself a lot as well.

He stared at Venice for a long time even after he talked. He had the same desires everyone else had. That whatever side won, thought each hoped for their side, that it would bring peace. They rarely thought of anything else outside of that and sometimes he wondered if that made it harder to fight for - something so massive as ending a war.
Maybe Venice was just too new to this all, too fresh and green, that he hadn't built up any other motivations or views on how things were.
Maybe Gev was just too much a veteran.....or maybe Zink had been right.....that he was crazy.
"You an everyone else, Venice." He rose up from where he sat, dusting off his pants.
"I just hope that your desire for peace is enough for you to kill over."

He hoped so also, he was sure at this point that he'd have to at some point. He'd already had people try and kill him, and been saved each time by others, eventually he'd have to save him or someone else. He hoped he could do it, even if he had to deal with it's after effects, he just hoped he could do it. He'd like to say he could but he knew that would be a lie, and while he'd lie to everyone else he didn't lie to himself. He himself was the only person he was honest with all the time.
Closing up his food he stood up, holding the closed container in his hand. "Hope so also. I know it will come...just a matter of when." Sooner, later, it didn't matter the time would come. He had tried once, back at the end of the year, but it had been a heat of the moment thing and it was needed. It would have helped everyone, she had died anyway, but he knew such a moment would happen again, on a smaller scale perhaps.
"Is simple my wants...not a selfish person - never have been." He had been raised to try and do what was expected of him. What other people wanted him to do, with shining moments where he was able to reach for something he wanted. But he had never been greedy or selfish. He thought of himself but almost always along with other people.
Was he that different from other people? It seemed like he was...was that good...or bad? Was it another thing he had to change? Something else that was wrong? He really hoped not, the list was getting a bit long.
"Going? If so be safe and have a good night."

"Your life is too short to not be selfish sometimes. If you risk your life, if someone wants yours, doesn't hurt to demand something once in a while." He said before moving to the end of the roof.
"I should, though......maybe you can show me a place to get some good takeout before I head back home?" He asked, glancing over at him.

"Something I'll need to learn. Never been selfish...not so accepted." Shrugging he came to stand at the others side. Looking around, down below them, he nodded. "Of course. My treat, in case you don't like." He said while moving to where an alley was on the side of the building and stepping off the roof to drop down. On the ground he powered down, ignoring how jarring that landing really was.
Waiting for the other he was wondering if he'd prefer spicy food or something a bit sweeter. Soup was always good in the cooler months and some mandu, though they were called dumplings here, and something else. he'd help the other find a good dinner to bring home for himself and his partner.
He'd then go home and finish his own meal...or maybe he'd get something more and go visit Terry and offer up some food....it did sound like a nice idea. That was, right now, the biggest secret he had. His parents if they ever found out he was gay or that he was dating someone, especially an American, they'd flip out and throw him out. "Time to get you food." He called up with a smile. He had a lot on his mind, thanks to the other, but he wasn't upset by it. He'd think on it more in the nights to come and he knew it. it gave him a lot to think about.
For now though...food.
