things and how they seem

oia

"The same could be said for this sort of experimentation." You argue easily. The notion of consent makes you nearly want to sigh, were you prone to such base expressions of emotions. "Are there not sicknesses that make the patient unwilling to have aid? Are there not instances of parents and children, wherein one imposes their will upon the other given they know best? Would you say then, that all types of human-animals in all their various states, are capable of the appropriate type of consent?"

You frown a bit at this expression. "I do not like to be held." You say, before nodding as the conversation moves back along. "Yes. It is quite inhospitable." Glancing towards Astra, your lips twitch into what might have been a smile. "An ungulate-animal."

"White. Though they are rare. Still, dangerous to be encountered. Just that—elementals whose specific jurisdiction is the element of water." To you, it's obvious, so you're not sure what part of it the summoner is having trouble understanding. "I mean it amplifies it. Increases its strength." As for how? "I am not sure as I've never studied it. Some sort of resonance within it I believe. It must be held by the wielder."

You blink considerately at the mention of Kai, before shrugging. "I've never asked him." And this is true enough. You know what your purpose is in life, and it is to observe and record, your capacity for certain kinds of understanding being crucial to this. "I sense...an emotion, about only offering one thing. Why?" You aren't sure how to phrase it, but you've identified well-enough that Loren has a thought about it. You just don't know what it is, or why.

"Why do I have to offer more than one thing?"

of course it's exhausting, having to reason all
the time in a universe which wasn't meant to be reasonable.
