When: Day 15, late afternoon

What: A COLD?!

[The Kid is standing near the doorway of Apartment C and pointing his hand at whoever happens to be walking past. He is concentrating hard!!! Trying to give people a cold.]

((It's only a minor headcold that lasts around 5 minutes. And he can do it to maybe six people tops.))

He wants me to be like him. Like our father. I can't do it. I've tried, but I can't.

[metamorphiseme]

Is he like your father?

[thelionking]

They're both strong. But they think with the sword.

[metamorphiseme]

You don't seem like a pacifist.

[thelionking]

I fight to protect, nothing else. But if you use the sword for everything, then you're fighting against the world.

[metamorphiseme]

For the right person, you should be willing to fight the whole world if you must.

There doesn't seem like much of a choice here.

[thelionking]

Sure. But we're not talking about love, but politics.

[metamorphiseme]

The greatest world leader must bow to love, if it is his destiny.

[thelionking]

Maybe. I wouldn't know.

[metamorphiseme]

You will one day.

What would you propose differently from him in regards to our current situation then?

[thelionking]

[...]

I don't think hating all the humans is going to work here.

[metamorphiseme]

[gives a snort]

Is that what he thinks? Prejudice.

[thelionking]

Prejudice got us in that mess, even if he doesn't believe it.

[metamorphiseme]

He's going to get himself killed with that type of thinking here. Again.

[thelionking]

[stiffens]

He'll be fine. He knows how to look out for himself.

[metamorphiseme]

You think so? Do you know the abilities of all those here, much less those of the gods?

[thelionking]

He's not an idiot.

[metamorphiseme]

He is according to what you've been sharing all this time.

[thelionking]

[flinches, coughing into his hand]

Not a total one anyway.

[metamorphiseme]

Hm. Maybe he needs to be burned to understand. Like a moth to a flame.

[thelionking]

Soubi!

[metamorphiseme]

[shrugs]

[thelionking]

[shakes his head, smiling bemusedly]

He'll be fine. I know it.

[metamorphiseme]

I find people who try hard to change others, all too often are the ones that need changing. Perhaps he will. Perhaps he won't.

[thelionking]

We don't know.
