Another bit the dust

[rustyhonesty]

What the actual fuck? I was killed by something I couldn't even see? That's freaking ridiculous.

[Yes, hello. Jean has made his return from death. He's annoyed, but he's not shouting. Just annoyingly huffing. Most of the annoyance is a high and mighty act though. It was actually a big shock to die all of a sudden.]

Watch out for Maria. She's tiny, but very dangerous. I don't know what I did to upset her- well, I sneaked into the summit, but was that really a reason to stab someone?

... well, I guess if they thought I was a spy or something.

[Okay, so maybe he had a reason he was killed.]

I'm staying out of Koroshima from now on. Most likely I'm headed for Mibu.

I don't think spies are very appreciated anywhere. Though yeah, I guess if I was able to see her, she might have notice something wrong with me in the group on shady people.

Her or her handlers, if she has them--which she likely does, considering her age.

[rustyhonesty]

Yeah.

The main point is that I screwed up. Even after Alcuin helped me disguise myself.

We all screw up. Remember when I got kidnapped and interrogated by the... Oh. No. You were infiltrating then. Well, to sum it up, I made one wrong slip my first day in Nova Venezia and had to deal with being tailed by multiple agents for the next few weeks--and then I got kidnapped and interrogated by the man who ran the local branch of the Wolves' Children.

Screwing up happens. How you deal with how you screwed up is the real test of your mettle.

I guess... that's true. It's not like we're experts on every circumstance we get thrown into. Still, it's kinda frustrating.

If you don't me asking.... How did you survive that?

[bypartisan]

... I think I said the right things while I was high as a satellite on interrogation drugs and when I sobered up the Wolf had decided to adopt me as an overgrown Wolf's Child. I still don't know exactly what it was that he saw in me.

[rustyhonesty]

Maybe he saw something you can't. Many people don't... really notice how amazing they are themselves. I know quite a few like that.

[bypartisan]

I wouldn't say I was amazing... but he thought I had honor, which isn't something I'm used to thinking of myself as having.

[rustyhonesty]

There you go. He saw something you couldn't. Even if people have different views of something like honor...
