Back to my -- [..oh.] ...Aang-kun. This injury's way more serious than that. I'll have this cast on for the next month, probably.

[hell, it should be more. Rationally, he knows he'll be lucky if he could move this arm ever again. But Katara's a miracle worker]

[savedtheworld]

Right. I'm sorry, that was stupid of me to say.

[generalflirt]

[Ah, so he did- oh well. He sighs and while he goes to shrug, he finds he can't mov--oh right, he can't move that shoulder. No shrugging then]

Maaah, it's alright. It's a price I pay to have gone out there.

[savedtheworld]

[I really have to think out what I say this time.]

You can't blame yourself. It's... it's really dangerous out there, isn't it?

[generalflirt]

It's dangerous everywhere in this world. [A hum. Misfortunes...] It's just out there it's something a little more direct.

[savedtheworld]

I think I know what you mean. Maybe I haven't been here long enough, but there isn't really much around here to attack us except those vampire things. I haven't heard much about people being injured badly, so this is... pretty new to me.

[generalflirt]

Vampires, villains, Shift Hunters, Sparties. [You know, "Baskers" sounds stupid. But he likes "Sparties"] And there's more insidious killers too. [He hangs hie head, his smile fading] After all, I've killed a lot of people by now, haven't I?

[savedtheworld]

[He's about to speak up, but the last sentence catches him off guard, and he averts his eyes. It's the one thing he doesn't want to consider about their life there. He remembers how distant Sokka had looked when talking about the drafts. I did what I had to do. We all have. That's part of living here. And that also reminds him of Sokka's current absence. Wherein he's probably doing more of that. Aang speaks in a weaker voice.]

I don't know the answer to that.

[generalflirt]

[There's a dark sort of chuckle at this. Linda reacts to his melancholy, looking at him intently with concerned eyes. Unabashed concerned mostly because no one is looking at her. Masaomi just presses on, not really raising his head]

Naturally. No one really can but me... aaaah, if I were to count it, there's been dozens by now. It'd be easy to say that they weren't human, but it's still a life even if it's a worthless one.

[savedtheworld]

Every life's supposed to be worth something. That's what I was raised to believe. [Pause. "This is where we are, Aang. Right or wrong doesn't matter."] But things are... things are so different, here.

[generalflirt]

No. [Flatly, and hr raises his eyes to be more level with Aang now] To be honest, very little's probably different in that department. Every life starts worth something, but a life dedicated only to violence and suffering? What sort of a joke is that? That existence isn't worth calling "life," right?

[A light hum] Or, that's how I've rationalized it. To date, I've only killed one person who doesn't meet that standard.

[savedtheworld]

[He struggles to meet Masaomi's eyes. He knew he was a good person, that he cared for Katara. But he didn't know what to make of this... especially the last statement. How much of what he had done been caused by Luceti?]

I don't like to believe that. That any living thing can ever be beyond saving... or just being contained. It's... this place, isn't it? This place and the Malnosso who are forcing these choices on us. [And he dreads the day it will be forced on him.]

[generalflirt]

I thought you were more responsible than that, Aang-kun.

[Flatly. so. So flatly as his gaze which had been even now just turns into a blank stare]

Blaming a place for people's choices isn't a very sound thing.

[savedtheworld]

It's not like this is just a place. This... Luceti is like something that tears us from where we belong, and it manipulates us, tries to changes us. I don't think I can judge people so easily for what they're driven to do in this place. Especially if there was no other way.

1/4

[generalflirt]

[Belong, huh?]

[generalflirt]

[Tries to change us, huh?

People always change.]

[generalflirt]

[...Hah]

Like I said, no regrets.

[And he waves a hand dismissively. the one he can move, at least.

That's a lie, of course. But damned if that's clear]

[savedtheworld]

[He manages a weak smile towards Masaomi. At this point, he's just relieved to going past the subject. Didn't he come in here to try to cheer Masaomi up?]

Right. [Nervous nod.] We're... we're in a medical center, anyway. We should be talking about happier things.

[generalflirt]

[...Hmmmm. Well, whatever, he smiles some more] Hoooh. Then how about the cute medical professionals who work here?

[savedtheworld]

[He tries to laugh it off nervously, with a slight red glow.]

Y-yeah, sure. They're... they're nice. [Talking about girls with other guys isn't his forte, but he has to remind himself he'll take any topic over murder talk.] So, uh, do you... do you like... [Don't mention Katara, don't mention Katara... who else is there? ...Law?] that lady with the blue hair?

[generalflirt]

[..................HEHEHEHEHEHEHEH. Linda, perhaps sensing her trainer evil intentions, finds herself smirking too]

I think that dark skinned one is actually pretty cute, right?!

1/2

[savedtheworld]

[The blush becomes more noticeable. Aang is conflicted on whether to question wherever Masaomi's going with this or to spend the moment dwelling on the thought that yes, there is nothing cuter.]

[savedtheworld]

[After dwelling on that for some amount of seconds, he sputters something out.]

You mean... Katara?

[generalflirt]

Mmmmhm. Not to say that there isn't a charm in the blue haired vixen known as Mia-chan, but I have to say that Katara's beauty blows her out of the water, such as it is.

[and he laughs at. ...A joke?]
