Thread: Rising Darkness ((Me and Kikora))

He actually chuckled a bit at her answer and her question, it was clear to him that even she was not sure of her answer as she spoke it. His mind soaked in the details of her rebuttal and before she had even finished was already formulating numerous responses. This was why his people even with fewer numbers could not seemingly be conquered... where others needed time to plan and prepare the nobility could act swiftly and decisively without sacrificing anything obvious in the act. So first his response to her reasoning would need to be made clear and so even though his voice seemed soft there was an undeniable power and authority to it as he spoke. Then your offer has no value to me Kaura, you base it an assumptions of what you think I will do and it has no vested interest on your part... there is no desire or passion in your offer, it is hollow... pleasure as a tool to get what you want is of no interest to me. It was a brutal and blunt statement but that did not detract from its truth, as he saw it she offered herself only because it suited her want for control. It was not out of passion, desire, lust, or even out of service to the one she called master so easily. It seemed to simply be a means to an end for her and that held no appeal for a creature of hunger and desire nor for a predator at the top of the food chain. He again turned his back on her and walked over to the doorway to gaze out and the lavish furnishings that likely could finance her leaders small rebel army for a time... such was the wealth of the nobility. They had amassed over the centuries such wealth that few could even fathom it. HEr other query still seemed to suggest she was on the fence regarding what to believe about the state of the world and its cause. Not particularly, they would not have accepted our help... so it was either let the masses believe others created these things or let the masses suffer without them... a simple case of the lesser of two evils. As I said before the current state is not by design but necessity caused by the uprising of the rebels. Your own people have had a noble cast before... as have the humans... it is no coincidence we are called The Nobility. Citizen and serf were never slaves in the days of old, they were provided for and protected by the nobility... the war your people fight now is not a war of ethics but one of pride. We have provided guidance and benefit for centuries, it was our machines and our science that held dangerous beasts and natural disasters or plagues at bay... just as the old nobles did for those under their protection. He turned to face her once more and if anything he seemed more powerful and regal as he spoke now much like a king addressing the court in some grand ceremony, The only thing that changed on that day was some among your people and the humans decided that they did not want to admit they had not done all of this, that this vast metropolis was not their design... for the sake of their pride they instead choose to fight, my people only defended ourselves at that time and then reacted to a thread... we had changed nothing about how these cities ran or the lives of those withing them at that time, we had simply revealed ourselves... the strife that exists now is a result of peoples inability to accept the truth
