What is strength to you, or what it is to be strong?

Alternatively, who is it that has right to rulership, or to command? Do you agree with the sentiment that those who are strong are superior and thus have greater rights than those who are weak?

And if that is the case: may the weak become strong?

Then I would think death a blessing for those, since they aren't alive to begin with.

Strength is an important part of life, but it is not life itself.

[Oh fuck damnit]

And if they spit in the eye of those who say they are better off dead by killing them to live?

Let it be said I will always find something admirable in defiance.

It would still be a stupid action. But a brave one and worthy of a little admiration.

Though it would be better to back defiance up with strength and power, as defiance alone can only amount for so much.

There are those, by birth alone, have no power. That have two sides warring for dominance and neither side wins, leaving the recipient with the basics of their heritage. And there are those who live despite that, despite that lack of power, despite those who think such beings should be killed just for their parentage.

Then let them hope their defiance and desire to live will come to mean true power.

But if they live just to live and find nothing to live for aside from staving off death then that is not a life.

Given you are one that has power, I am not surprised you cannot see the struggle.

How very petty of you to think I cannot understand.

It's not that I do not understand. It's that I do not care.

Hm. That I can understand. [And that was the best thing she had seen, given that could mean he didn't care and wouldn't kill her for merely being a crossbreed. He might kill her for other things, but for what she was? Not that]

In part I believe that you can.

Oh? And in which part?

[No, what are you doing, don't tease him...]

That I don't really care about you, or your bizarre need to validate your right to existence before me.

You're inconsequential to me. You do not offend me, as you do not seem to be aligned with those of Law.

You need only fear me if you decide to continue to annoy me.

Hm. I hadn't thought one like yourself would have thought in such... well. I shouldn't say.

Are you quite done?

... thank you.

[Well. He hadn't expected that.]

Be thankful you aren't worth the time rather than thank me for realizing it.

There can be strength in being weak, if one knows how to use it.

It's not often I am seen for being too weak to be killed, my lord.

And as I said, I can understand in part.

You're hunted simply for what you are then, aren't you?

Yes. In my world... well. You may have seen it. How I acted, quite unbecoming of what I claim to be. In my world... I am the oldest living one.

It's the way it is in all worlds. We're hunted by the angels and must defend ourselves. If not hunted by angels, then by man. It not by man, then I'm sure something else would have a desire to kill us.

The oldest living of all demons, or just your specific race of demons?

I am hunted my by own kind. Of... those born of two different types of demons.

Which happens as well. Demons may know peace among their own kind, but they frown upon those who differ from them.

You do not have my sympathies for your lot. But I do understand.

I do understand that you have no sympathy. What demon does? How funny... I would have thought you would have thought differently, and would have killed me.

Why?

As far as I can tell you offer no threat to me. It'd be an easy kill. A pointless kill.

Hm. I suppose that is a question, isn't it?

Though... are you sure it would be an easy kill?

Yes.

[Well he's upfront, at the very least.]
