[no_hero]

[well, he was. just going to have a nice evening walk. but. stopping. warily




today is not a day he wants for possibly legit death threats]

[beautymark]

[ He has seen you before. He thinks.

Oh yes, you died. And so did he. So maybe he should relax a little. ]

You. You were a Master, were you not?

[no_hero]

[. . . weirdest question for a Lancer to ask but. timelines. getting used to those]

That's right.

[beautymark]

I see.

So this is a land of the dead after all. Strange.

[no_hero]

I wouldn't say it's an afterlife, since I don't believe the gods here revive everyone who has died.

[beautymark]

It isn't what I was expecting, in any case.

[no_hero]

Most people wouldn't.

[well at least you aren't trying to kill me]

[beautymark]

What exactly is it, then?

[no_hero]

Another world entirely.

[gesturing to the windows. sure at three moons]

The gods here have been reviving the dead from different worlds and times to reclaim it from the nature that's overrun it.

[beautymark]

Interesting. If nothing else, I suppose it can't get terribly boring.

[no_hero]

My experience is not the norm, but I could easily agree with that assessment.

[beautymark]

Well, that's something in its favor.

[no_hero]

[. . . it is. so weird. having someone with your face being polite at me]

That depends if on how you consider "interesting times". There's a reason it's often said to be a proverbial curse.

[beautymark]

[ And he has no idea why he should be anything but. ]

That's understandable, but the heart of a warrior can't settle for mundanity.

[no_hero]

[. . . yep. still sounds like the same hero. SIGH]

I would not mind it, myself.

[beautymark]

You're the man who came to a magus' fight with mundane weapons. You don't think like a warrior at all. Perhaps that's what brought you down?

[ He's not irritated at all. His tone is a little mocking, but it's more in jest than spite. ]

[no_hero]

It's an effective fighting method or else I would not have managed to take care of magi like Kayneth.

[geturing to Fast Wheels over there]

[beautymark]

...Did you, in your memory?

[ He's honestly not sure if he should be happy to hear that or not. ]

In mine, he killed you.

[no_hero]

[... thaaat wouldn't have been likely...

glancing at those swords of yours]

Likely, not easily.

[beautymark]

It was a difficult battle. I understand you were weakened by your own abilities. It was a stain on the pride of his victory.

[no_hero]

... ah. If he had managed to dodge the trap I laid out for him... then I could see that happening.

[beautymark]

I wasn't present for the majority of the battle, so I can't say. Does it bother you?

[no_hero]

... I worry about how things might have ended in your timeline. That's all.

[beautymark]

I doubt they'd have ended much better if you had survived. It was your successor that the grail offered itself to. Had it been you, it still would have been an unpleasant creation.

[no_hero]

--my successor?
