[ something to ask haru when they reunite instead of sorting through murder and death feelings.... ]

I wouldn't go that far. All we did was talk.

[damp]

Do you like him?

[diluvian]

No.

[ no hesitation. ]

It takes more than a few conversations for me to like anyone.

[damp]

... Yeah. I'm getting that from you.

[diluvian]

It's just how I am.

[ take her or leave her. ]

[damp]

[ he shrugs ]

You don't have to like people easily. People aren't usually that honest about it though.

[diluvian]

I think it's easier if people are on the same page as I am. I'm not going to be polite just for the sake of it.

[ lambda is truly the type that's if you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best. ]

[damp]

... That's not that different from Haru either. Or my best friend.

[diluvian]

[ she makes a face at being compared to haru and this friend she doesn't know. ]

And?

[damp]

... That's it. I was trying to remember how we started getting along.

[diluvian]

[ because you were so cute and cheerful and bright as a child. it'd be easier for baby rin to get along with lambda, too, now that i think about it. ]

A miracle?

[ she means from both sides probably. ]

[damp]

Oi. [ his expression flatlines ] It's just easier to make friends as kids.

[ ... ]

Did you even have a childhood?

[diluvian]

[ well.

oink oink. sorry for fate/ character designs. not the most sfw..........

this memory comes with some static and a kind of disconnect. it's the kind of memory you know you have, but it's not one you've experienced. ]

[damp]

[ Another memory comes by, and it's even more confusing than the last. He watches the story of Lambda and her sister. She seems... a little different. Not as cold as he'd expect.

He just looks at her. ]

... You were also summoned to fight a war?

[diluvian]

Once. In a way. The me that was there was more like a sentinel.

[ kind of. she went off the beaten path. ]

[damp]

The you...? You're not the same person as the one in the memory?

[diluvian]

[ ... ]

How much do you know of spirits?

[damp]

I know how we think of them in Japan; different types of yokai.

I don't really know too much about stories of spirits outside of that though.

[diluvian]

Think of it like I'm a reincarnation, in a way. We're, in essence, the same. I have all the memories of the person in my memory, but I'm not the same person because I didn't personally experience those memories.

[damp]

[ that actually makes a lot of sense ]

So that person died and you were born? Guifei mentioned she was summoned to save the world. Is that your mission too?

[diluvian]

I was summoned.

[ there's a big enough distinction that she has to correct him. she was born in a different place, in a different time. ]

We were summoned for the same mission.

[damp]

[ He nods, a little curious as he tries to piece together the different pieces of information that he knows about her. ]

Do you believe in it?

[diluvian]

It's contractual. It's not as if I want nowhere to exist.

[ she doesn't have strong feelings about saving everyone in her world, but she doesn't mind having a world around. ]

[damp]

Then...

[ He tilts his head. ]

What is important to you?

[diluvian]

[ she smiles up at him. ]

Beauty and elegance.
