( they are, of course, of the same mind. there might be no one else among the Kenoma more dedicated to separating out those who could not meet muster than makoto.
to say that he has a soft spot for abel wouldn't be entirely accurate. perhaps there is a part of him that yearns for the acceptance that the man supposedly offers him, but... the rest of him, the part of him that drives him day by day, finds it incredibly aggravating. for him to offer him acceptance and forgiveness, as if he had any idea what he might be accepting and forgiving...
it will be far easier for him in the long run if he can simply break the man of his compassion towards him. )
Oh, I wholeheartedly agree, and on all fronts.
That would have been my plan from the start. He is the type to want to take on pain so that others might be spared it — a common thread to find among Martyrs, I suppose.
( he gives her this small jab as payback for doubting him. )
I shall make arrangements, and I will let you know once I have what I need.
It's good that you understand this well. In that case, please feel free to call upon me if you end up doing too good a job. I did make this request of you, so it's only proper that I take responsibility if things go awry, too.
[Is it really a jab when he's right, and she doesn't perceive it as a slight even a little? It's a self-deprecating sort of amusement on her end, though she does put in a bit of effort to not make her offer sound... Intrusive. He has his pride as a demon too, and far from it from her to imply he can't handle himself. But having heard of what Estinien is capable of, and more importantly, having experienced what Abel is capable of, hopefully he understands?
Firebrands for Firebrands, Martyrs for Martyrs. It's almost poetic, really, if it wasn't so twistedly laughable.]
Thank you, M. I look forward to hearing back from you.
