It certainly isn't the worst you could do. [just saying. after a moment, though-] But I suppose I might be willing to believe it's the worst you will do, for now.
[on account of both helping him and also not trying to hurt him back, so far. he'll give axel that much.
but he's just going to skip any sort of small talk questions and go right for:]
Why do you think you'd have been chosen to help, here?
[ he shrugs in acceptance of the first point-- it's close enough to what he meant, regardless, that he'll count it as a win-- but... funnily enough, this isn't a question he minds answering. ]
By the universe? [ he hums in thought ] Not sure. I figure it's got something to do with how I've kinda signed up to fight a darkness that's pretty similar back home.
Sorta. Back home, there's a special weapon that exists to fight the darkness, and all you really gotta do is beat the heck out of it without going through all ... this.
[ he gestures vaguely to encompass all this game bullshit ]
[not really, because that sounds a little ridiculous? but then he supposes there was a similar solution at home, wasn't there. just not for darkness specifically.]
There was really no need to fight the darkness that existed at home. It simply was, and there were other things that people felt the need to fight. All of this-- it isn't terribly familiar.
Yeah, that's about how it is for most people. Light can't exist without darkness, and vice-versa. It's only when the balance is thrown out of whack that there's something to be done about it.

Well, so long as you're aware, guess it can't be helped.

[after a slight pause, he adds-]
And I doubt you're very willing to share, so I won't press you too much. I do have the feeling you could do this all day if you liked.

[well. it makes a lot of sense, honestly; if none of them had any familiarity, they might be worse off.]

Even the ones who are all "do the right thing 'cause someone has to" have been directly impacted by it, though. That's just how things wound up.
no subject
[given that this is the universe's core at stake, and all.]
And is it still unresolved?
no subject
Sorta. The most recent threat was dealt with, so we've been in a peaceful lull, but... [ hmmm ] Nothing's ever truly over with that stuff.
[ kh never ends ]
