[but Chrono. She IS mean.]

I believe that is Shibusen's part. They should be the ones trying to prepare us better.

[rebelwithaclock]

Yeah. You're right. I think they want to, but they don't want to force people to fight, either...but if they don't force people to go to training, and an attack happens, then what will we do? Maybe they give us too much freedom here.

[pmsgargoyle]

If one accepts and agrees on fighting for an unknown war, they must subject ourselves to rules and discipline. Such is the way of a clan or an army. Things must have an order and they cannot be chaotic; allowing their warriors to do whatever they wish will create chaos.

[and it's actually a good thing for Demona's objectives, but it can be a two edged knife. Humans hate to be told what to do and they could get nasty for having Shibusen forcing them to follow certain rules regarding fights]

[rebelwithaclock]

[Wow...she sounds like one of his old teachers. It makes his lips quirk up in a small smile.]

You're probably right. It's a little nice to be given a choice, but...once someone agrees to fight, they probably need more structure.

[pmsgargoyle]

Their choice is to fight or not to fight. They cannot expect the whole world to turn around them. [It anger Demona, humans and their petty ways. All must be the way they want and they don't accept anything other than that. Pitiful buffoons]

[rebelwithaclock]

You're right, they shouldn't. [He pauses, considering something.] I guess that's one of the disadvantages of a human "childhood."

[pmsgargoyle]

Human childhood?

[rebelwithaclock]

Yeah. I'm not sure if they're like this in your world, but the humans where I'm from have this idea of what children are supposed to do. They're supposed to play and explore and learn independence when they finish their chores and schoolwork. Demons don't have that. I spent as much time working as a child as the adults did. We had to learn discipline and responsibility from a young age. We might as well have been part of the army already.

[pmsgargoyle]

[Demona can't say she understands or knows much about Human childhood. She has seen a lot, many things changed and different cultures had different ways. Mostly, she just didn't care for Gargoyles worked differently. However, it has been a long while since she has seen a Gargoyle hatchling.]

I wouldn't know about the Human way. And I wouldn't know if it's better than your clan's or not.

[rebelwithaclock]

Our way might not be better, I don't know. [He rubs his neck.] There's...a lot of things in our world that's horrible. But the difference might at least explain why humans expect so much freedom. They were taught to. I think.

[pmsgargoyle]

[they weren't taught to give the same freedom to others. They were taught to destroy everything and everyone, they were taught to betray and call that "freedom".

Chrono, you are a fool in Demona's eyes. She looks away, watching the training] Perhaps you are right.

[no, you are not]

[rebelwithaclock]

[He makes a vague, noncommittal noise and glances the same way she's looking. He can't tell why, but he has a nagging feeling that he might've said something wrong.]

...I guess I've taken up too much of your time, huh? I should probably get back to training.

[pmsgargoyle]

[Demona's wings open and she inhales, smelling the air and feeling the wind. After exhaling, her tail moves and she turns her head towards him again]

Are you capable of flying?

[rebelwithaclock]

Ah...[He looks a little sad.] If I could transform into my true form I could. But I'm stuck in this one. Aion was in his true form when he came here, so he can fly.

[pmsgargoyle]

[As she thought. Those two were related in a way. This one, however, seems quite more naive towards humans.]

That's too bad. I'd have invited you to come along.

[rebelwithaclock]

I'm sorry. I would've accepted.

[pmsgargoyle]

[She simply nods] I will be going. I wish to take a look at the city from the skies.

[rebelwithaclock]

All right. Enjoy your flight!

[pmsgargoyle]

Enjoy your training. [and with that she moves to leave, adding nothing else.

She was hoping to turn a Demon to her side, but Chrono would be difficult to convince and make understand about the need to destroy the Humans. But she is patience. Maybe. ]
