[He's taken a few days before coming to this network, mainly observing and getting a feel for it. But now, he wants to try it. So here Runyu is, sitting in his room before a low table with some tea before him. Compared to a few days ago, he doesn't look nearly as regal, his white robes simple despite their numerous layers.

He offers the view a smile, nodding his head politely.]

Greetings. My name is Runyu.

I wanted to start off by saying that I'm grateful to all those who took care of me when I arrived here. With such friendly faces it was rather easy to settle in. Thank you to those I have met so far.

[He might be confused as to how he's being kept here but he appreciates everyone regardless.]

Though, I have noticed that one can find themselves alone a good deal if they lack those from home here. I'm curious to know how people handle this here. What have you done to occupy yourselves? Not everyone is so used to the feeling of isolation so I wouldn't mind learning what you have come up with. It could be interesting.

Hopefully I don't but I'm grateful to have it all the same.

[But really, he's not so interested in it. If he's to fall then he believes it's what he deserves really.]

[reliesondirtytricks]

One can always hope.

[dragonrising]

[He lets out a soft laugh.]

One can. We don't always get what we want but we can still hope.

[reliesondirtytricks]

No. We don't always get what we want. However, as long as hope is involved we'll survive the best that we can.

[dragonrising]

That's a very optimistic way of looking at things. I quite like that.

[reliesondirtytricks]

Considering my upbringing, I find it the best way to look at something. It also reminds me that I'm nothing like my father.

[dragonrising]

That is something I understand. You are not the first to want to be nothing like his father.

[reliesondirtytricks]

I doubt anyone would want to be anything like, or related, to a man known as Lord Demon.

[dragonrising]

Lord Demon? What a name...

[reliesondirtytricks]

Leader and head of the Darknight Court. Or was.

[dragonrising]

My father was the Emperor of the Heavens. I understand well how these men can hold such impressive titles.

[reliesondirtytricks]

Hopefully, yours never made you do things you didn't want to do.

[dragonrising]

No. He was a different kind of monster.

[reliesondirtytricks]

Better that than having you do his dirty work.

[dragonrising]

He didn't need me to. His wife did so gladly.

[reliesondirtytricks]

There was never a motherly figure in my life.

[dragonrising]

Not all mothers are as they seem. Not all require one either.

[reliesondirtytricks]

No. Not all of us require one. Some of us are better without.

[dragonrising]

Of course. I can say that for certain after seeing the woman who claimed to raise me.

[reliesondirtytricks]

At least she isn't here. Though, if she was you now have friends who would keep an eye out for you.

[dragonrising]

If she were here then she would have to be before her death. I would not mind guiding her toward that fate again.

[reliesondirtytricks]

From what I've gathered even the recently dead can show. It would just mean making sure they don't. She would not need to be here or deserve to be anymore than Lord Demon did.

[dragonrising]

Her nor either of our fathers.

[reliesondirtytricks]

Then it's settled. We'll keep an eye out and if anyone demands us, warn the other.

[dragonrising]

I will do this for you. I swear it.
