[ … ]

Only about half of those made sense to me. [ Work on your people skills some more, Inaho, omfg ]

But I get it. Whatever it is, it's pretty big, so you're trained in all sorts of things, right?

[purposive]

Only certain things. Self defense, weapons training, piloting, and first aid.

[He stares at Kuroo for a second before his gaze shifts back to the water and he goes silent.]

Most people don't have to understand it. It's a different world after all, one that has been at war with the Vers empire for a long time. I've never thought about what a life without a threat of war would be like.

[uttertrash]

…

Is it any worse than being in here? [ After all, there's no war here, and Kuroo knows that, as a civilian living in a peaceful era, he really has no frame of reference for these kinds of things. ]

[purposive]

It's about the same.

[He's always pretty much in the same sort of situation.]

Actually, it might be better.

[The only reason is that he thinks of Calm, Rayet, Inko and his sister as well as the crew of the Deucalion. He wouldn't want them there, and he would also want Asseylum there even less. He sighs softly and stretches his arm with the splint out. Of course those were private thoughts to himself. It wasn't something he would admit.]

[uttertrash]

Really? [ He couldn't even fathom what kind of situation would drive a guy to think this is better… ]

So if you had a chance to escape…

[purposive]

I would do it. As long as it was the end of everything here also.

[uttertrash]

Huh. That's pretty selfless of you.

[purposive]

Selflessness has nothing to do it. Leaving when the problem continues would be leaving the work half done.

[uttertrash]

That isn't a bad attitude to have, either. Shame there isn't a lot we could do to get things done.

[purposive]

For now. We have to pace ourselves against this or it'll wear everyone out.

[uttertrash]

Hey, remember to take your own advice, Broken Wrist Guy.

[purposive]

This wasn't my doing. I would have planned it better if I had been in my right mind.

[He's serious about that too. If he had wanted to kill Slaine the other would have been extremely hurt or maimed.]

[uttertrash]

[ Please don't slay Slaine. Kuroo would be very sad. ]

I know; I know. [ That incident seems to have amplified a certain aspect of the victims' personalities, right? ]

I didn't figure you having a reckless side, though.

[purposive]

I think everyone has a reckless side to a certain degree.

[uttertrash]

Yeah? This place does bring that side out for a lot of people.

[purposive]

Just remember that later and don't let it get the best of you.

[You know, like attacking someone and being outmatched?]

I guess this is a good place to end?

[uttertrash]

[ Shh Shhh ]

I'll remember that. [ Or get beat up trying. ]
