Swole City
YOLF:
Yusho
The concept of repayment for offerings of blood made Yusho stare deeply into his bowl. The claims of that whimsical vampire king floated in his mind in comparison... but whether it was compromise for survival or inhuman privilege that determined her kind's place in this city, he had yet to determine.
"Nothing much. A little while ago, I wasn't sure where I was going and had an interesting encounter there," he retorted, before bringing more ramen between his lips.
yinsukin:
Roman
He had always been scared to, but at that moment, Roman genuinely considered a journey into the vampire district. While it may be a devil's deal, it could give him an edge he could use. Well, at this point he should see what he can do with training, then go there if he gets desperate.
Raising his eyebrow, Roman said, "And what was that? Don't tell me your a vampire too."
YOLF:
Yusho
"You think I was gonna lecture you about untoward paths to power and then get myself a bite of it?" The exalt put his food down with a grunt, and swallowed a laugh at the last word out of his mouth.
"I told you, I'm a human and a Dragon-Blooded. And don't you start getting ideas about it. What are you going to do with strength that costs you your autonomy as a person? Listen: whatever the circumstances of your birth, everyone has roles they can fulfill and decisions they can make to further goodness around them. You can accomplish things outside nature and a single man's ability by warping yourself, but what are you giving up in the process?"
yinsukin:
Roman
Roman's face turned red and he shook his head. "No! I mean.... yeah... Its just..."
Turning his head to the side and staring off out of the window, he briefly contemplated his next thought. "I don't think i'd lose anything, even if I took a deal like that. I don't have any freinds, and I think i've hated almost everyone i've known. Why not take something like that when I have nothing to lose? I mean thats got to be it, how the greats are able to push themselves so hard. Inner strength is such bullshit."
YOLF:
Yusho
The exalt followed the words carefully, and found his eye widening at Roman. Yusho brought his palms down on the table, rattling both their dishes as he half-rose from his seat.
"Don't be a fool! You always have yourself to lose, and even without anything to value now, you can still gain friends or goals in the future. You want to remain human to enjoy that fully. Be warned, Roman. Damn mere ideals, for those that fight for naught but themselves are strong indeed; but those who have nothing to protect have nothing to give them strength." With a deep breath, he relaxed back to his seat, unresponsive to the crowd of stares and murmurs he had drawn.
Then he reached over and nudged the younger man in the chest with his fist. "If that's how you feel though, then you have me now. And that inspiring lady of yours."
