The intractable words of the general cause Nix's shoulders to slump all over again. That he was on the receiving end of a rather twisted sort of mercy was all the more disheartening. Partially because on some level he was glad for it. He understood what the general was telling him, but couldn't really think of how to reply to it all...so instead, he just looked at the unconscious woman--Nina--and nodded. "I-I will," he agreed. "No more messing with generals, or your auras." He sniffed once, and said nothing else. Later, he would wonder about this whole exchange--why would a negaverse general do this? He didn't actually seem evil, aside from, you know, the obviously evil acts. But it came across as more of a...unhappy duty than anything else. But right in the moment, he was too focused on the fact that he had seen another starseed get yanked out to kill someone.

“You will grow. Eternal Senshi are like Generals. “ The youma yawned and pawed, snuffling for the starseed and ignoring the body that dropped thereafter. The glimmering jewel was closed fast in gloved hand, and not handed over to the beast. There was no need to crush the thing, and no intent to, as waste of harvest. The youth had said ‘somebody’, which was a broad category in the rainbow of youma, partially youmafied officers, grafted officers, and the regular rank and file. “You have fought youma? Like this one, Nix? “ Nix had never answered about cats, about allies. Foolish enough to ignore auras. Or hasn’t listened to their teaching to feel them. But keeps them wise and secret. It is a strange difference. It could be he is so young. Or too fast and fired in his stomach. He can keep his tongue; he can learn. Titan’s Hammer came to his second hand and placed with echoing weight next to the body so that the haft served warning, reminder, in front of Skeiðbrimir’s great nose. The General hoped the size would impress it’s weight on the senshi as well. Weapon, Youma, teleportation, and hands that whorled with chaos. “Or you saw an Officer do this thing before?”

Nix's gaze shifted back to the large, frightening youma, where it remained a moment before replying, "Well, I've...fought youma, yeah, but...not one as big as him..." He was rather thoroughly frightened, of course, but he still figured he shouldn't just tell everything to this general, so he didn't really explain further on that point, but he figured it wouldn't hurt to answer the other question, so spoke truthfully. "I, well, I saw a...lieutenant do it," he said, his eyes following the large hammer, considering just how unpleasant it would be to get hit by that thing. "She kinda looked like a crazy leprechaun, and she killed my friend. I, uh, I think she likes killing people...I thought all of you did for a while, but, er, not all of you seem horrible..." Not killing him out of hand was certainly a sign of not-horribleness, of course, but this wasn't the first time he'd encountered reasonable-seeming agents.

Which of all is a leprechaun? Of lieutenants, there were always new names and faces, and many never even seen except by their commanding officers until later in their careers and promotions. It was possible that the one in question was already part of one of the specialized branches. He has known at least one officer and at least one or more youma. Smaller than a bear. Not So new then. The reason for the lapse, then, in finding a General’s aura, was unclear and unusual. All the more with the impressions of what they all must have been like. The General’s hammer vanished as quickly as it had come to hand. He put his hand on the bear’s head and the beast stilled, waiting. “Maybe that makes us worse. A terrible sort competition. “ War was terrible. They were all black. A slain friend. A broken throne fed broken power to it’s knights. A faceless, formless queen. Liking killing seemed an easy, simple motivation. Battle-lust was sung often. Had it been there before or after taking on the black mantle? How far would it go after that? How would Nix change, surviving, with such a scar unseen but keen. ‘ a while’ ….a week? A month? A year? “You do yours honor. Your secrets. Take care, Nix. I hope we don’t meet again. But if we do, you will be stronger. And you are worth words.“ A young noble who’d navigated a strange situation without too much pride, without debasement, no trickery, nor else but thoughtful tact. All involved in the mess could use with more such friends. “You do not seem horrible, either.” He nodded to the boy, focused, then man and beast vanished away as much as any other shadow in the night.

What an...introspective General, Nix reflected as he fretted over what exactly was going on here. On the one hand, this guy had taken a bunch of people out, and...took a starseed. On the other, hey, Nix was still alive, and this had been a...not an enlightening conversation, exactly, but certainly a surprising one. His mind was spinning as he tried to get over his fear and start thinking about how this might be useful...although the idea was only just starting to form in his head...and then the General was apparently leaving, with parting words. Not meeting again would certainly be safest. "Er, um...thanks?" Nix responded, still a bit at a loss for words. "G-goodbye, Mr. General," he managed to say. "Maybe some time we could--" And then the general and his Youma were gone. Nix blinked, his shoulders slumped slightly, and he finished as a mumble, "try to figure out how to not fight anymore..." The place was quiet again, although the sound of shuffling made him decide: Here was not the place to reflect on what had just happened. He went straight home that night, and didn't try anything particularly spectacular for at least a few days past that. Ivynian Fin~ thanks for playing! mrgreen
