[Unlike some of the City's inhabitants, this particular one has never had a problem showing off nir...talents. When the video comes on, ne's sitting with a violin and bow at ready to play.]

[When done, ne bows to the camera.]

One did not get to finish, or start, the last time One was to play.

He is who he is; One would wish no other.

[confined_to_briah]

I believe you like a challenge, Hatter.

Not that I blame you. Why wish for an easy life?

[indecent_butterfly]

This One would not know what to do with such.

[confined_to_briah]

Neither would I. Not anymore.

[indecent_butterfly]

Although One is not so certain if it will be easier or not once he returns. Some are rather put out by the idea.

[confined_to_briah]

Opposition will always exist in one form or another.

[indecent_butterfly]

As long as one follows one's heart it matters not.

[confined_to_briah]

If you can look at yourself and your actions with pride at the end, you're right.

[indecent_butterfly]

[You're talking to the Satan of Pride Alexiel, of course ne'll be able to do that.]

How could One not?

[confined_to_briah]

Yet you know the pitfalls of pride more than any other.

[indecent_butterfly]

It is better to lose your pride with someone you love rather than to lose that someone you love with your useless pride.

It and Oneself is his to wield. That shall lead where it does.

[confined_to_briah]

Well spoken. I wish my path could be so clear.

[indecent_butterfly]

The day will come and you will know one way or another.

[confined_to_briah]

I am certain on some matters. Others... ( She shakes her head. )

[indecent_butterfly]

There is naught to do but make your choice and stick with it. It is right because you say so.

[confined_to_briah]

The Deities play with my resolve. It has not weakened yet I fear it must change.

[indecent_butterfly]

Change how?

[confined_to_briah]

Either I take a stand or I learn to accept a new way of life.

[indecent_butterfly]

There are many ways to stand against something. Not all of them are as good as others. [Ne would know.]

[confined_to_briah]

I am a warrior. Settling matters peacefully isn't my strong suit.

[indecent_butterfly]

Nor waiting for others to do so. Which takes the greater strength One wonders.

[confined_to_briah]

At the moment? I'm sure you can surmise the answer on your own.

[indecent_butterfly]

You are far from that weak. Admittedly though this cage does not, nor does any, suit you.

[confined_to_briah]

Yet if I break the cage, it won't be only the cage that suffers.
