[ hell yeah buddy. she accepts his offering of sliced veg, adding it to the pan where curry sauce is simmering. ]
Me too. I believe in us, though. All the peoples of Bionis are finally working together now, and we can accomplish a lot more fighting as one. [ a beat. ] Sorry, this is depressing, isn't it? I've really gotten involved in it this past year, so it's on my mind! We were heading off to the decisive battle when I showed up here, too.
[he smiles back easily at that and - there's something a touch fond when he speaks of his home]
It's the kingdom of Kouka... and what it lacks in magic, it makes up for in spirit. It's beautiful, though it's had its share of troubles over the past decade or so - maybe longer than that.
But I think it's finally on the mend, to become a truly lovely place once again.
Oh, that's wonderful that it's getting better! Maybe we're not so different, after all. Everywhere that has people probably has conflict, I suppose. [ a nod. ] Your clothes are really neat! Does everyone dress like that in Kouka?
[ remember clothes... Fiora remembers clothes. That aside, she knew the conversation would end up here eventually; she shakes her head. ]
Not in the least. My circumstances are pretty unique. [ she flexes her fingers experimentally, sounding casual, while she waits for the curry to simmer. ] ... I might be mostly machine now, but I actually used to be a Homs like you. Um, a human, I mean.
[ well, at least she's a novelty. She'll take that over being repugnant or scary. ]
Hee hee. Most people don't get to have a Mechon make them curry, either, so you're double lucky, [ she says playfully. ] It should be ready pretty soon. I don't need to eat anymore, either, so you'd better be hungry!

Fighting's just a part of life - especially because we're at war. Ether weapons have saved my life a few times, too.

[it's hard for him to encourage any form of fighting, knowing what it brings to the common people]

[ if the world doesn't end first, anyway, but she won't include that!! ]

[he'll pause then, all done with slicing everything that's meant to be sliced and offering it over to her to be cooked]
... then I hope the resolution is peaceful, and the victors are fair with their results.

No, I don't consider it depressing. It's simply a part of your life, isn't it? So if anything, I'm grateful you're willing to share it with me.
I do hope that things go well - and you'll be able to return to what you need to do soon.

[ soo-won is good, she has decided. ]
How about you? What's your home like?

[he turns in little half circles - swishy swishy robes]
They do. It varies a little from Tribe to Tribe, and the coastal areas are more likely to be diverse by default, but they're in this general style.
Is everyone in your world similar to you in build as well?

A Homs...
You needn't tell me more if it's uncomfortable - but I think that meeting someone like you is an experience I didn't think I'd get to have.

[he agrees easily! and proceeds onward just as easily!]
I'm quite hungry actually - that sounds excellent. And if there's any extra... have you met a girl named Clementine?
