[@supertinyking][@kishin asura][@teoinsanity] Khaine nodded. It seemed things were going his way. He truly seemed unbothered by the hole in his shoulder, and the bloodlike fluid that poured from it seemed to in fact be hardening, filling up the wound slowly. It would certainly take an hour or longer to heal, but that was still a lot faster than most mortal creatures. [color=ed1c24]"I doubt it is truly relevant, at this point, as those who would ask for our assistance have disappeared.[/color] Khaine glances over at the space that was occupied by Gin but moments ago. It was odd that he had disappeared so suddenly, but certainly not the strangest thing he had seen. [color=ed1c24]"And while I am impressed with both your strength and your tenacity, I must question your reasons for protecting this stranger."[/color] Khaine had a hard time grasping the 'valiant knight' aspect of morality. The concept that the strong have a responsibility to protect the weak. He believes that the strong, by definition, are those who control the future, and therefore their wishes are inherently greater than those of the weak. While he disagrees with senseless cruelty or abuse, he finds the concept of a protective responsibility equally bizarre. For this reason he chose to ignore it, filing it away as something to be investigated or discarded at a later date. [color=ed1c24]"I have fought many heroes. Those who would use their strength to face what they consider 'evil', and to protect what they would consider 'good'. It is a respectable use of strength. And while you seem to be among these heroes, I find you protecting a creature so clearly evil."[/color] Khaine gestures at the confused insectoids, who were most likely huddled in the corner somewhere. [color=ed1c24]"This creature is responsible for a slaughter, and simply because her actions were undone by another does not mean they were no evil. She shows no remorse, and no compassion, and merely displays further cruelty. She is of the type of being who use their power sadistically, addicted to the pain of others. So then why is it that you would protect her?"[/color]
