That is the weirdest compliment I've got for at least a week.

[ioudas]

It's not so much a compliment as it is a statement of fact. [stoppit, you're embarrassing yourself.]

[imaginemeandyuu]

Okay, because saying 'thank you' to that was a super weird thought. I guess as long as the things I say are still very human, I don't have anything to worry about.

[ioudas]

It's not so much what you say as it the things you do. But then again, it's subjective. [no one will believe you that cross is this wise.]

[imaginemeandyuu]

[is this wisdom, cross]

I know I'm not human anymore. But it's not like I really intend to be an 'akuma' either.

[ioudas]

[yes it is alma. also always wear a condom. or say you are. whatever works.]

Not that anyone tries to become an "akuma". Though, I'm not an expert on your unique situation.

[imaginemeandyuu]

Well, there's a reason I didn't say 'become'. Whether I like it or not, it's not like the Order's ever afforded me that type of bodily autonomy.

[ioudas]

I'm starting to paint a better picture.

[imaginemeandyuu]

Are you?

[ioudas]

That or I'm completely missing the point.

[imaginemeandyuu]

It's bound to be one or the other.

[ioudas]

I'll eventually figure it out.

[imaginemeandyuu]

I'm not that great at being a mystery to be figured out.

[ioudas]

If you say so.

[imaginemeandyuu]

I'm not patient enough.

[ioudas]

It has nothing to do with patience.

[imaginemeandyuu]

Sure it does.

[ioudas]

Not really.

[imaginemeandyuu]

Because I just want to spoil the mystery if you keep on like [DRAMATIC PROFILE TURN] I'll figure it out.

[ioudas]

I am always up for a good challenge.

[imaginemeandyuu]

No, that's what I mean. I don't want to be a challenge. At all! I don't want to be something for people to figure out, and especially I don't want to be viewed as something to overcome so you can get to the meat of me.

[ioudas]

Tch, Order Scientists really don't know how to view things. Mysteries are delicate things that are worth learning, absorbing yourself in them and then piecing it together. You get to learn it, you dedicate yourself to it.

[imaginemeandyuu]

But I'm a person, Mr. Cross.

[ioudas]

Doesn't matter. We're all mysteries.

[imaginemeandyuu]

Really, all of us?
