hey now, that's his job :|

Flippant? Ah, I fear you misunderstand.

They call us "heroes", do they not? [He takes a brief second to judge her reaction before continuing.]

Now, what would you think if you saw those you look up to were distraught, or worse, actively panicking in the face of inscrutable odds? It would instill an even greater sense of dread and hopelessness, would it not?

[Of course, this is only what he has observed in his own lifetime... However, he may be quite biased.]

I know not what it is like in your world, but the people of my Star look to those with power to guide them - and those with power have the responsibility to lead by example. Even were they to fear the dawn, they cannot and must not allow their subjects to see their weakness.

[With that old man lecture done, he smiles faintly behind his collar once more.]

And, to answer your previous question, I have more than enough.

Too bad, I'm borrowing it :P

[Selphie listens and mulls over his words before responding. If there's one thing she knows about herself is that she isn't as strong as some of the others. She's always done her part. Perhaps if she hadn't been in stasis for a year, there might have been more she could have done but for now, she's just one girl from a world where armor isn't necessary.]

I can't bring myself to put on a smile for the sake of others in this situation. I might have done that in the past but I can't do that this time. And maybe I don't know you at all but while there might be a case of nerves, I'm not actively panicking in front of others.

[She forced her gaze away from the old man to stare out at the horizon before them.]

My World, my Star, is different. Power was abused and drives innocent people insane like I'm sure it was on your Star as well. Whatever power I had there, stayed there when I was brought to Crystallis. I'm not as strong as some of the others here, the heroes that I respect as much as my best friends who I went through a literal hell with. What little power I have here is thanks to my Crystal and my the support of my friends and allies here.

We aren't subjects. We're people. Individuals. And I don't want to be ruled and put into a pen like an animal. What we're fighting against has to stop before your Star and mine are wiped out of existence. I know that I'm not a leader but I will sure as hell do my part to make sure that nobody else dies.

[There's enough blood on her hands as it is.]

And because of this conversation, I signed him up as an Archfiend. :P

[Clearly she did not listen nearly enough, for he never hinted that he thought so little of her. Until this moment, that is. He is an old, old man, and one who is not given to changing his ways. Especially in light of a young lady throwing what he perceives as a temper tantrum.]

While you aren't panicking, you certainly are eager to leap upon any who seem to not mesh with your own ideals.

[And yet, he keeps that pleasant smile. If she even looks at him again.]

What a shame, to hear of how it was misused on your world. Power was always meant to aid the masses, not hinder in such a manner you describe.

[Yet the way he says it, he is likely alluding to far more. All of this because she thought him odd for wearing a mask when she hid behind her own? Such hypocrisy.]

Let us see what kind of future you and your Crystal would create with your own hands.
