Who: Sieg, Viren
When: July, night
Where: Aefenglom streets
What: Quest #4: Suspicious Activity
Warnings: None
[It's not as though Sieg's had much experience with most things, but looking for danger in the dark is something he's done more than once. That's just the life of somebody who gets involved in the Holy Grail War, Master or Servant, these things are just givens.
So it seems like a good idea to him to sign up for one of the quests. Looking for people accosting others is at least a step up from looking for a murderer on the run. Consider the job he just took on it makes sense that they'd pair people together, for the simple reason of safety.
Sieg gives Viren a short bow.]
My name is Sieg. I hope we can work together well.

[ viren interjects, the quickness of the response perhaps conveying that he's offended by some notion that he's engaging in meaningless theorizing! that would be just terrible. his tail swishes through the air.
no matter which way someone might look at it, though, it's certainly idealistic; he would prickle if that were pointed out: ]
If we were to understand the mechanism by which it's determined... We may be one step closer to controlling it.
no subject
No matter what happens to Sieg his original designation as a homunculus remains. ]
You want to control the world?
[ He doesn't even sounds accusing, just curious. ]
no subject
Nu-o— Of course not.
[ not that that would be... a bad thing. hm. ]
[ he blinks, goes over that statement again, amends, ]
But perhaps... being able to affect change, even if that does have to be after someone has already been made a Monster or Wish.
no subject
Huh. [Said by somebody who hasn't really thought about changing his designation.] Would you want to do that? Switch to being a Witch?
no subject
[ in a way, viren knows that wishing so dearly to be a witch is at slight odds with the drive to "accept" himself as a monster. he's had this thought countless times, this same conversation dozens of times. but accepting something doesn't necessarily mean they're happy with it -- certainly not viren: ]
Yes! Very much so. [ he huffs, smoke exhaling with the breath. ] And you -- I'm guessing, would never?
no subject
I... don't know. Becoming a dragon was my choice, being a witch wasn't. It's not as though I hate what this place assigned to me. But sometimes I miss having wings.
[One day he'll be good enough at transformation magic to make them again.]
no subject
[ a simple acknowledgement, almost a scoff. viren mulls over the young man (dragon) again. as he's already come to terms with -- he does seem a marvel. ]
Then do you think you would detest it, should you have been made into a Monster without the gift of flight? [ conjecture, again, but he does seem genuinely interested in hearing the answer. ]
no subject
... I don't think so. I'd never have another chance to experience life as another species.
no subject
[ remarked with a little raise of his eyebrows. ]
For example, I may not have experienced my life as an insect — but I already know I likely wouldn't prefer it.
