Mercy? Can you eat that?

[brothersboots]

[She really, really hates that Lailah and Zaveid have played coy about the Normin all this time. Despite her own issues with them, she gives them a little respect. Sometimes. Maybe.

Well, no, not really, but they can be useful.

Or annoying and creepy, if you're talking about that idiot Phoenix.]

They're annoyances is what they are. It's only right that they finally start to be useful again, instead of loafing around all the time.

[She looks at Sorey with a flat expression.]

Besides, were you asleep in Marlind? I told you what they are. They're helpers. They help the Lord of the Lands. They add bonuses to weapons. They're... there.

[monolike]

Ah...no, you did say that... [It's just that it literally does not answer his question at all. YOU PLAY COY TOO, EDNA. "This is wnat they do" is not "this is what they are," but it looks like it's just 'normin are normin' afterall.]

You really do know a lot about them, huh Edna?

[brothersboots]

I hate repeating myself. [She knows she didn't answer his question. Because it's obvious. And Sorey might be the valedictorian of Dumb-Dumb Academy but he's not actually stupid.

So, he should really just stop asking that question.]

Know thy enemy. I don't know who said it, but it's good advice.

[monolike]

It was one of the eastern warlords from long, long ago, at least a couple thousand years. Sun Zhao, I think. [She doesn't actually care, Sorey.]

[brothersboots]

[She looks up at him and sighs.

Sorey is literal. Sorey is literal. Sorey is literal.

She needs to remember that. It'll save her some headaches.]

Do you ever look up from books? Also, you might want to look up the definition of "sarcasm", Sorey.

[monolike]

I know, I know...I just thought it was interesting. [Being willfully obtuse is his defense mechanism!!! Though he is...also just as often unintentionally obtuse, ok] Anyway, the normin don't seem to hate you, at any rate. And they really like Lailah.

[brothersboots]

Right. Interesting.

[It's a good thing he's kinda cute. And that she thinks of him as her... little human brother? Something. He's hers. They're stuck with each other.]

Of course they don't hate me. They annoy me, but they're not bad.

As for their obsession with Lailah, even I don't know why that is. You'll have to ask her.

[monolike]

[How many ancient seraphim are gonna adopt him anyway]

Don't you two know each other from a while back? The way Atakk talked about it, it was like she was some kind of celebrity.

[brothersboots]

[All of them. He's a special child and needs a village of Seraphim to watch over him.]

Not really. I mean, I knew of Lailah from her journey with the last Shepherd, but I avoided them all the same.

And, well, she's always managed to charm the Normin. Not that it's hard.

[monolike]

[At least she's not giving those fish that distrustful stare anymore, that's good.] They do seem very- erm, happy. Happy to be carefree! With a few exceptions of course, but Phoenix was a pretty unique guy...
