[ yeah but it's not like malia's paying attention to that. she does look a little surprised but if he was REALLY busy he wouldn't answer, right??

that's not the answer she expects though. ]

But isn't that your family?

[deontology]

Hold on a moment.

[He drops the CereVice in his pocket and ducks out from behind the rock. There are definitely monster-fighting noises, but a few moments later, he's back and not even out of breath.

What a show-off.]

They're only my family in name. I was raised elsewhere. It just means that I may not have all of the answers you want.

[scenting]

[ oh. well she knows those kind of noises but she'll wait, yep.

doot doot doot. ]

Oh, that's why you use swords. That makes sense. So, you can't do magic at all?

[ she's just going to keep asking questions until he tells her to stop oops ]

[deontology]

I'm not particularly well-practiced in it, but that is not why I use a sword. I chose to become proficient in the sword instead.

[Don't take away his agency, okay, it's important to him!!!]

[scenting]

Seems like a poor trade off since no one ever actually uses a sword these days.

[ sorry, sousei. pick up a gun instead! sadly malia doesn't think she's being particularly insulting, just that this is the train of logic her mind follows. if you want to be prepared, why not use the best weapon around? ]

[deontology]

[Wow!!!!

Sheesh, Malia......... Sousei's quiet for a moment in response to that.]

It may be true that the sword is losing its prominence these days as modernization occurs. However, I do not regret my decision, and it has served me well.

[scenting]

Yeah, you seem like you're good at it.

[ hm. ]

Can I at least ask what you do know about your magic? Not now since you seem pretty busy but if it's okay, maybe later.

[deontology]

Later is fine.

[He glances up to analyze where he's stuck in the ViViD level and nods.]

If you wish to still talk about it later, you may ask then.

[For now, he's...hanging up. Oh, that was abrupt. But he did think the conversation was over.]
