They- you both misunderstood eachother. I'm sorry. I should have said something earlier. They won't eat you.

 

... uncomfortable?

Nope.

Just surprised. 'Cause, well, of your resemblance to Valiska, and how she is. I mean, I know you guys are different but... that hadn't really registered with me until you said that, you know... *laughs sheepishly*

*nods* And yeah, I got that.

...Do I have to say sorry?

 

Lissa chuckles. "The other woman I was hitting on was Valiska. I think I know exactly what you mean. For a while, I thought that maybe instead of Beijada Station, she'd grown up in a temple where they did high-energy work. The kind where you have to discipline yourself not to touch people and wear bells in your hair to warn them away when your group is on relays, so that you don't ground everything you've been handling through somebody else's body and yours and end up a scorch on the ground."

 

*winces* ... just checking, you can't do high-energy work by accident, right? 'Cause, like, if you can, I might be high-energy enough to do it and well... I don't wanna get anyone killed, you know...

 

"...no. You are a being from a high magical energy dimension. You are not running a worldwide defence and communication system with your brain, and therefore of necessity needing to maintain a state of partial physical dissociation." Lissa smiles. He may be ignorant of what he is and how things work, but the concern is kind of adorable.

 

... so, that's what the high-energy workers in the temples do? Run that system?

 

"Among other things. I suppose in your current home dimension it all runs on perpetual motion, now." Lissa shrugs. "Don't get me started on American energy policy."

 

Yeah, I think so. On Pennarion, at least. I dunno if Ford's invention has managed to reach the entire dimension yet.

 

Thank you for your concern. [He smiles at her and tries to wave it off] admittedly i would prefer to stay out of any fighting. I have been quite out of practice for it and after what i have seen... Made me think that it is rarely the most salient course of action.
But i remember feeling that way about my synbiotes, how protecting them took prioroty about everything else [and he /misses/ it. Pacifism would be easy to drop in exchange of just one spark bound to his again]

 

"I can't imagine the Talassani not going that way," Lissa says with a shrug. "Maybe not many Cereuti, though."

 

'Cause Cereuti like capitalism a lot, right?

 

Lissa snorts. "The ones in charge sure do. I don't know if anyone's asked the Proles or the indentures. Or the force-grown.]"

Not unless you want to, love. Do you feel sorry?

[Her battlemask remains shut and her visor down, but the golden light of her optic band softens a little bit.]
I agree with my whole spark. Fighting for protection is honorable, but one should abstain from it as much as possible lest one developes a taste for it. A knight should carry with them safety and relief, not misery and suffering.

[He snickers]
Y'know if I was one of you squishies, I am pretty sure what my job would be.

 

Oh. Yeah. Good point.

YOU tell them I'm sorry.

 

I don't know much about Knights, but that is a sensible approach. Do your bondmates not disagree at times? [Especially considering the Argument he'd just wirnessed and how heated it had gotten. At least @fidelias seems to have some temper]

Only if you really are sorry, my love. I'm sure they'd prefer to hear it from you, but I can speak for you.

Some do, some don't. We talk it out when the topic arises. It doesn't seem to harm them if we stick mostly to practice matches and the occassional serious fight where talking has proved futile.
