Secret Sharing
Who: Serph and his adopted family, aka Rinoa, Signless and Squall
Where: At the lake on the island.
When: Monday after the curse is over. At some time after these three messages.
Style: [Brackets], please!
Status: Closed!
[The last week had been... troubling. While his own experience with the curse had been somewhat liberating -- he'd been a human. A human that has emotions and doesn't hunger for flesh -- it was obvious most of the people who had gained an Atma didn't feel so lucky.
It's getting more and more difficult to hide the needs of their demons. More people outside the Tribe are learning of their need to devour. And he's certain the last two living members of the Embryon will eventually come to Vatheon. With five people who need to devour weekly, Serph isn't certain how much longer they would be able to keep their hunting a secret; it's already difficult with three. The coral's unpredictability just adds another dimension they cannot prepare for, as the last week had demonstrated.
...But it's not time to reveal their secret to Vatheon. Not yet.
However, it's not fair to keep it from the people he's welcomed into his Tribe and family. So he leaves messages -- all at different times -- to organise a meeting with each of them individually. It's cool by the lake on the island, but not unpleasant, and the sky is clear.
And so he waits.]

There's a long, thoughtful pause, which mainly consists of Rinoa staring at the ground and watching her footsteps.]
Yeah. From what he said, it's the common perception in his world. People shouldn't be judged solely by their actions and their nature. Shouldn't intention and how that person feels matter, too?
no subject
There's a pause before Serph replies, but the answer comes easily.]
I don't think people should be judged at all.

What makes a person 'bad'?

They're still people. [A pause. He takes no offence in Rinoa's words, but he adds--] We were like that, once.
no subject
[She's seen a lot of battles, too many. And she's just not cut for it like Squall and Serph.]
I'm not a soldier or a warrior like most of the Embryon and SeeD. So maybe I just can't see things like you do. Maybe that makes me bad.
no subject
There's a stretch of silence before Serph replies, quiet.]
Is that what you truly believe?
[That she's bad? Serph remembers the nightmare she had two months ago, so...]
no subject
Still, Serph's question unnerves her a little.]
I... hope not. I don't know everything, and I'm not as worldly as some people are. [She's 18, though. She has yet to realize she's not supposed to be at that age.] But I have something bad in me, or something that could turn really bad.
no subject
What do you mean by 'worldly'?
no subject
no subject
Does anyone know everything?
[Doesn't everyone have the potential to do 'bad'?]
Even knowing everything in one world... there is Vatheon, where things are different.
