Hm... Well at least the uh - four? Suggested that we should be acclimating to using them over time hopefully...

[allomantic]

[in what is sure to be a huge shock:]

...I do not know if they are to be trusted.

[hasteful]

You're not the first person to say that.

What makes you think so?

[allomantic]

It seems... too coincidental, that they would not know anything. That they want us to believe we cannot leave here despite presumably not knowing why we are here.

[hasteful]

Hmmm.... I guess that's true.

[he really doesn't question anything until it's brought to his attention i really don't have to do a single thought this game]

So you think it's weird that we're just expected to stay and improve the world?

[allomantic]

[nodding.]

I do not know if they have an ulterior motive or they just need us to fix this problem, but I do not believe it is as simple as they have presented.

[but she presses doubt at every turn, so who knows.]

[hasteful]

[nodding....]

It might not be. It'd be good if people are looking ahead at the situation, to try to get an idea of something might be going wrong.

Will you let me know if you think it's getting worse?

[allomantic]

...Will you not be able to tell?

[she doesn't mean to be rude, it's just a genuine question this time. unfortunate.]

[hasteful]

[it's ok he's not offended]

Hmm... I can try - but I think that you and Dami...ehn-san both are really good at trying to find holes in things. [THEY'RE BOTH REALLY PESSIMISTIC and generally better at doubting people than buzen]

I can have a sense of when something is off - but there's still some things I'm learning to understand.

[allomantic]

...I see.

[...]

I guess the more of us that know something is strange, the better...

[hasteful]

[nodding]

It can be about numbers, right? Better to have more of us on your side than theirs, if you don't trust them.

[allomantic]

[she shrugs. she at least thinks it's more likely that everyone else is on the same side as opposed to the npcs, but it's weird for her to admit that (vin why).]

I guess. [...] I do not know how many people agree with me about their trustworthiness.

[hasteful]

Dami.... ehn-san.

[thoughtfully - ]

My comrades and I find them agreeable... but well, we still don't know much about them either.

[allomantic]

Yes, Damien.

[a beat.]

I do not find them unagreeable. They seem kind.

[but seeming kind isn't necessarily the same as being kind.]

[hasteful]

[nodding!]

Do you think they're tricking us on purpose...? If there is something else going on here.

[allomantic]

It seems likely to me.

[hasteful]

Ah, that'd be annoying... I'd really have to hit them hard for that if that's the case!

[allomantic]

[a beat]

Are you certain that would be a good idea?

[hasteful]

No.

But I might not be able to think twice before I do it. Emotions are really hard to have.

[allomantic]

You are... easily frustrated, then.

[hasteful]

Well.. it's like we talked about - I get mad, same as anyone else. If I'm being tricked when I'm trying to believe in someone, I'll probably get angry.

And this body tends to move faster than I can think.

[allomantic]

Does that ever get dangerous?

[moving faster than he can think, not getting angry.]

[hasteful]

Hmm...

Well, I may not seem like it, but I'm pretty used to death and danger. Maybe too used to it. So even if it does... that's nothing strange to me.

[allomantic]

You are?

[surprised,]

[hasteful]

[nodding]

Mm-hmm. Both when I dwelled only in this form [letting a hand rest on his hilt] or even as soon as I was summoned into this body... [moving that hand to his chest]

At the end of the day, I am a weapon forged for war.
