sobs, i'm so sorry replying took so dang long orz

Ah, there's no real reason. A little too much energy for this hour, perhaps.

[ Sure, it's a bit random, but maybe he's just in a good mood. ]

I am too, y'know. It's easier to live alone, without the hassles that come with being close to other people. But there's something to be said about living amongst others. Even if it wasn't really something you did in your home world, there's no reason not to try doing things differently here.

Maybe that's a bit of a naive opinion, but the alternative is, well...

More loneliness.

[ Kaito finally turns on his heel to return to walking normally. ] It's supposed to be a big rock, smoldering and smoking. Really hot, too. Shouldn't be too hard to find it—just keep your nose out for the odor of smoke.

It's ok! I've been kinda slow too.

[She doesn't say anything in return. Easier to live alone without the hassles... or hurt, that comes with being close to, and losing others is more like it.]

And what makes you think people would want someone like me around?

[But before they can continue the conversation, he answers her question and her attention is brought back to the task at hand. Her yellow-grey eyes scan around them, looking for something, anything that could be a smoldering, big rock. Off in the distance, she sees a flicker of gold. Although her vision is better due to her Shade half, she still sees the world darker than most people.]

There, see that? [she points in the direction.] We can probably smell it if we get closer?

[nagano]

You'd be surprised.

[ It's a murmur, faint and low. In those words are his own experiences, his own former point of view that he'd be an outcast forever.

There's no guarantee that people would accept Kainé more or less easily than they did him, but someone has to play the idealist.

When she points, he allows his gaze to follow. His vision's no better or worse than a typical human, but he can detect several auras with similar vibes. Warm—no, maybe hot?

Either way, he nods. ]

I don't, but I do. Let's check it out.

[pissoffbook]

Sure, let's go.

[Kainé starts to cut across the crater towards the glowing area. She periodically looks behind her to make sure Kaito is still following.

So far, so good, they haven't run across any monsters, but Kainé is ready to summon weapons if needed. She's quiet as they walk, not really sure what to talk about now. It seems they have differing opinions on whether Kainé can be accepted into the community here, but years of descrimination and self hate are hard to break.]
