Scint River
The voice of another colt draws his attention, and the young volcano turns to observe the newcomer. "That is an interesting concept, however I cannot help but wonder if it is a particularly logical idea. Given the amount of people Kaos killed in Helovia, I believe she would be creating so many enemies by helping him that it would outweigh any help that he could give her." He speaks matter-of-factly in his usual undeviating monotone. It all comes down to numbers, really. The fact they're both stood right by Kiada means that she can probably hear everything he's saying, too. "It is simple mathmatics, really. For example, the murder of just one person - my mother - ensures that I, my sister, my father, my half-brother, and countless more friends and relatives are automatically predisposed to dislike anybody who helps her killer." And that's just one person - Kaos killed countless more.
Another filly approaches, and the yearling's eidetic memory immediately casts itself back to the day Otem found her companion. Those were the days before he knew what it is like to lose somebody, even if his emotionless self finds it hard to really appreciate the depth of his grief. Then, it's the original filly's turn to speak. She immediately confirms the pegasus colt's hypothesis, that she desires favour from Kaos, and she adds that she helped him in Helovia as well. Vulkán tilts his head curiously at her, scrutinising her as if she is a zoo exhibit. If only he was more normal, then he could react with anger at the idea that she is siding with the God who killed Isopia. If only he could fully appreciate emotion, then he could rage against her as his father would want him to do, instead of standing here blankly thinking he should feel something rather than actually feeling it. "So you freely admit that he killed some of your best friends, but you still wish to help him?" There's no judgement in the colt's tone - there's never anything in his tone. "That does not strike me as a particularly logical way to survive. I would surmise that if Kaos is willing to kill your best friends despite your devotion to him, then relying on him is not a viable strategy. You stand to make enough enemies to be able to destroy you in a second, purely in the hope that a God with a track record of deceit will help you." He glances around at the small crowd around him, keen to hear their input too. As usual, he's unaware that his words may cause offense or outrage - he lives under the false pretense that everybody sees things in cold, logical sense like he does. |
