Pine Garden
Kotomine_Rin:
Vega
"If you think that is the hearth of my pride, then you are a bigger fool than I thought." He answered her curtly, thinking that he'd rather have more wine. Soon. His tone seemed tired of such unsightly foolishness.
"Yes, I am worthy to stand at the pinnacle, that is no opinion but a fact. Would a mere peasant be able to master their own flesh as I have? To rise above and beyond thepitfalls of my past? I have overcome my trials, and will topple the next. That doesn't mean I am blind to the fact I am yet to reach the climax. No, I am not above that woman, who branded me with defeat. Is that what you wished to hear?"
His thoughts, his very heart was filled with fire and venom.
For one who pretends to read the hearts of men, you should know that at the heart of mankind lies arrogance. But to wallow in it without action... That is uglyness. No, I will climb. Withor without you.

Lulu
"No..."
Waiting for him to finish his monologue was starting to get tiresome, just how much did he love his own voice?
"At the heart of mankind lies fear."
Kotomine_Rin:
Vega
Vega opened his mouth and raised a finger to object. But his expression slowly shifted, until he closed his mouth and looked at her with inquisition. Then, acceptance.
"...Yes. That must also be the case."
He closed his eyes for a moment.
"In that case, to surpass humanity is to surpass fear itself. If absolute power brings absolute peace, then only when I stand at the top can I rid myself of fear. That is what it means for me to live."
For him to be reborn as a swan was the one way to move forward. And so he did, and he climbed. Higher, and higher. Because the only thing that mattered was the climb. No, not even that. The results, only the results would live on in this world in infamy.
He poured a cup for Lulu. It was a small kindness, but one he'd offer nonetheless. He had not kicked her out so far, even if she were an enemy, he would do no differently. Yes, even now, it made no difference to him if she were friend or foe. But she had yet to show him how exactly she would be useful.
"So are you to tell me you fear nothing? After all, you claim not to be human."
Bern:
Lulu
Lulu leaned back into the couch but did graciously accept the cup thay hax been poured for her, statngely the tea set seemed just as heavy after he poured it for her as before.
"The things I fear are beyond the comprehension of beings with a mortal lifespan, if there were words to describe those horrors, then the words themselves would bring untold calamity upon being uttered. Maybe sometime, somewhere in your journey you will catch a glimpse and then you'll understand. " The tea was just as hot as when she started drinking so she had it sip it carefully, it still made for a good closing point.
" Would you like to live forever, to rid yourself of the greatest weakness of Humanity? "
Kotomine_Rin:
Vega
Ahhh~
For a moment, his eyes lit up. "Eternity..." His voice marvelled, with a hint of arousal at the thought of that very idea. Wasn't she simply precious, trying so hard to woo him over. Well, he had to respect going for the kill there and then.
"I can't say the thought has not occurred. How would you achieve that, dear?"
