I’m hardly surprised. He attacked me without saying much of anything.
[ Granted. Fane had, but it’s not like he’d been given much of an indication that he’d said precisely the wrong thing. Silco doesn’t exactly have the most pleasant personality... ]
—Imprisonment would at least be a sensible middle ground. If nothing else, it would at least remove him for a time, since I can only assume it’s not that simple either. [ Otherwise he would have heard more talk of capture, he imagines ] …Regardless. I may not have heard it myself, but I certainly trust your word that he’s so despicable. Any Zenite that wholeheartedly condemns our worlds to the Void is my sworn enemy. They will not receive my mercy.
[ There’s conviction in his words that might be surprising. For all his scholarly affect and the fact that he’s so new to Meridian, there’s a hard viciousness there. It’s not bloodlust, though, just a similar, steadfast dedication to seeing his will done. For better or worse.
After all, it’s not too different from the conflict that he and the other Godwoken had faced. One of them had to ascend, lest the world fall to the Void. Fane at least feels now that for the sake of his people, he’d do anything—even cut down the Godwoken that had become his friends.
(But he didn’t yet know that perhaps his people couldn’t or shouldn’t be saved.)
For the matter of the demon, though. Fane’s impression softens, and that hardness turns into curiosity instead. It’s the classic Savant at work where what Hayame explains is different from what he knows, and so he’s intrigued. ]
Hmph. Well, if nothing else, at least it couldn’t happen to someone better.
[ The sarcasm comes first, naturally. He won’t cheer for a demon, but also, get fucked Silco!! ]
—I don’t know much about demons, admit. My people were blessedly free of them, and it was a failing that came for the lessers after. [ oh oops the equal opportunity racism is sneaking in, dw about it ] But I did meet a demon hunter in my travels. Who knows if this one is anything similar, but the habit of names is. Apparently, the stronger ones go through great lengths to hide their true names. Why, I don’t fully understand the particulars of, but he said it was a way to weaken them. The one that was possessing my friend was apparently immortal as it was.
[ A pause and then with a vague feeling of annoyance: ]
And you may already know, but Raphael is one of them as well.
