...I don't know that it's done me a lot of favors, when the other half of it is a desire to make those things right through fighting.

[pure_radiantics]

... I thought that sounded like a strong sense of justice, personally. As long as you got to relax afterwards with something else.

[mithrarin]

Right. That's the thing. I was never supposed to be able to relax.

[pure_radiantics]

Supposed to...?

[Wait...]

Are you saying you know that for a fact?

[From a memory?]

[mithrarin]

Yeah. I was made for a purpose. Not for... hanging out and reading books and doing whatever.

[pure_radiantics]

But... can't you choose another purpose? One you like better?

[Of course 'like' - hobbies - was another issue they'd already touched on.]

[mithrarin]

[Dust breathes out a soft chuckle.] Funny thing... I like my purpose. I was made so I'd want to pursue it, after all. What good's a sword that doesn't want to cut?

[pure_radiantics]

[Kairi grins.]

Mine's a good sword! And it doesn't cut! You know, a keyblade?

[She's not about to get her blade out at a party where Amaterasu is, but the point stands.]

Sora and Roxas used them for all kinds of things that weren't fighting! But you can also use a sword to block and disarm someone, right?

[mithrarin]

[Dust's pointed silence last for just long enough to give his inevitable sigh more weight.]

What good's a sword that doesn't want to be a sword?

[pure_radiantics]

Okay but you're not... literally a sword, right? I'm not talking about your vessel form. There's having a purpose and there's literally what you are. I know you worry about being different...

[She holds up her hands then to mimic his ears.]

But you're still a person and not a weapon, right?

[mithrarin]

That's... complicated. I was made to be a weapon, after all.

[pure_radiantics]

You mean even before... the Far Shore.

[Since some people would say that's all shinki are - weapons to be used by the gods.]

[mithrarin]

Right. In as much of a life as I had... for that short while.
