...I hope you do make it home. Both of you. I think you both deserve to. [She means that.] I guess I don't know much about the world you come from, but it seems like a nice place from what I saw in that simulation. I hope you'll get to travel more and see more of your world when you both leave together.
[After a moment:]
Sometimes it's nice to pretend I come from somewhere like that. [...] You know, right before I came here, for the first time, I helped someone even though it made things pretty inconvenient for me! But for me, making that kind of choice is an exception. Even that decision almost got me killed.
Good bits and bad bits, like anywhere else I expect.
[Oh, sorry, he is making a face that will get him punched very shortly by Endorsi. it is very like, I knew it.]
I'd say in my experience, the choice to help someone is more often than not the one that ends up with you on your ass and the cleric standing over you. Think the almost is the key there.
[ . . . ]
What made you make that decision? To help someone.
Clerics...? Oh, right. Well, wave controllers can't do that kind of thing, so I'm lucky it was just almost.
[She is giving him the most unamused face in the world as she notices his expression, but she does give that question some honest thought before she says anything.]
Well, the girl I was ordered to kill... The easiest way to explain it is probably that things have always been hard for her because of who she is, and how she was born. So maybe I thought she deserved a break for once! Who knows. [flippant. but then, muttered:] Besides, the guy who gave me that order really annoyed me... I don't like being pushed into things.
Mm. Not so much? She's still the same Beauregard. Just one day decided to try to help a girl [girl? bird? he pauses. hm. girlbird . . . ] who probably needed a break for once.
You know, you remind me of someone, too. Not really in terms of personality... You're annoying in a really different way then he was. [t...thanks endorsi] But he thought the best of everyone no matter what. Or, maybe he just wanted to believe everyone could be better... Who knows. Either way, he was way too nice, and so are you!

[don't be mean to jester she isn't here
also the expression . . . . . . it's getting worse . . . . . . . ]
If you ask me, 'purely to spite bastards' is a perfectly grand reason to do a good turn now and then.

You're getting the wrong idea, but I can't stop you from thinking I'm a good person, I guess.

[And then he snorts.]
No. You certainly cannot.
