Comments

There's no hiding his sigh either as he regards Satsuki with a disappointed look. "Another seeker of the grail are you? How pitiful. The true grail is mine and mine alone."

"That would all depend on what you do with yourself once you attain Guardianship or before it even. One who shows no care for anything but him or her self will find it hard to gain the populace's appeal."

"What even makes you want the grail in the first place? Any wish a person may have for it that they cannot attain on their own power, is a wish not worth granting."

[weavemyownfate]

"Hmn." Satsuki lets the 'pitiful' comment slide over her shoulders, though rest assured it is very very annoying. Though it also helps that her sword isn't on hand. "Perhaps, though I hold a more pessimistic view. That said, what you say about wishes has merit. Still, given our situation I would be remiss not to take the opportunity."

Beat.

"My wish would be to have the denizens of Genessia united."

Though that isn't entirely true. About half the populous would be sufficient.

[thekingofheros]

It's a good thing that Satsuki doesn't have hers word on hand. It means Gil's not going to feel the need to show just how much power he truly has. "Perhaps, but only if you feel you can be responsible for the outcome of such a wish."

"And united they could be under the Grail." A beat. "In death. For that is the only true way any group of individuals can become truly united. Though it should go without saying that I would not give up my grail just for your 'wish'."

[weavemyownfate]

Well one thing is for certain; Gil's warning does make Satsuki more cautious. At the very least, then, she should discuss the possibilities with her associates.

That said the words 'In death' draw an amused snort from the young Guardian. "Then I suppose it is fortunate 'your grail' is not what I am after. Death is but an inconvenience here, so you can spare me your dramatics."

"One way or another, I will see it done."

[thekingofheros]

Gil has nothing but another look of scorn towards Satsuki. "Mock me at your own peril. To listen and not learn is a true mark of the foolish. Even if death proves an inconvenience here, would you be willing to pay for that inconvenience? Or what if your so-called wish ends this dimension instead and we trapped in it are left perpetually in a state of death and revival?"

Shaking his head, he sets down the wine glass onto a table and starts to walk off. "The biggest dramatic I see is the fool I just had the displeasure of having to talk to."

[weavemyownfate]

"Unfortunately for you this 'fool' can see your contradiction quite clearly. Not to mention the question of death cannot be answered with a simple 'yes' or 'no'." she replies as he turns, though at this point she may have to accept he may not respond.

"It was you that said that 'a wish you cannot attain on your own is not a wish worth granting'. I have stated that I can. Then you suggest it would lead to death. What exactly am I supposed to learn from your flip-flopping?"

[thekingofheros]

"It's only a contradiction if you're too simple-minded to understand what the weight of being a king can be."

He stops walking away to turn back to face Satsuki, clearly not pleased. "You are suppose to learn that it is a warning that you must take care not to pursue a goal beyond reason. If you are willing to bear the responsibilities that would be thrust upon you then there is nothing to argue about. I merely wanted to inform one who seeks that the goal may not be what you might think of and that you should be prepared in case that is the matter."

[weavemyownfate]

"It is less that I am simple-minded and more that no one can properly hear you from your high horse. Still, I will confess the lesson is a sound one and I thank you for it."

"Enjoy your evening."
