I wondered, before, why I had this sword, when I didn't have it in my memories. I descended to help that child, not to harm anyone... so I had no reason to wield a weapon.

It seems almost certain, but I would not be the one to ask about it.

The first suggestion of it was when Sora heard it from that odd monster in their first week... but it sounds like in the past, we failed.
If possible, I would like to avoid that this time, obviously.
no subject
I don't know.
no subject
he'll just reach out for goat's hand then.]
... no further business questions.
[he'll keep looking in other ways]
How are you feeling?
no subject
... I am fine. It's heartening that Jeanne could be saved today.
no subject
It is.

You work well together, at least.

he falls silent. ]
no subject
Share it with me?
no subject
Haven't you had enough of unhappy stories?
[ goat may or may not have been lying when he said he was fine because he's in a terrible mood actually, but it's fine. ]
no subject
but at least he doesn't seem to mind the lie this time.]
Whether it's happy or sad....
It is because it is your story, that I want to hear it.

Pardon me....

This--or rather, the original thing, from which this was likely based--is what Ares buried me in, when I died.
... Though it may be more accurate to say that I fell into a deep sleep. One I didn't awaken from, until a thousand years later.
no subject
.... when did you awaken? Recently?
no subject

How are you feeling?
Handling that information.
no subject
The world is always changing. Even before then, I had spent hundreds of years away from human society in exile, so it is nothing I'm not used to.
[ that's pretty much the least worst part of his memories. ]
no subject
.... then why is it that it feels as though something is weighing on you today?
no subject
... Because the world wasn't the only thing that changed.
no subject
Or the people in it?

And now, I know why.
no subject
Did you become displeased with humanity?
Or they with you?
no subject
Neither, exactly...
Though I am certainly the one at fault.
