So she was a reader - or at least of vague familiarity with Tolkien's famous works. "Similar, but wis' far less adventure and companionship." Sighing gently, he opened the takeout container to discover a few traditional tacos, still steaming with melted cheese and shredded beef. Warily he studied his free hand, considering the logistics of loathsome finger food with even more bizarre appendages. Inwardly he wished for a fork. "Zere are no dragons, hobbits, elves or truly any alternatif' race present. Monsters of many sort, crafted from darkness and human soul, are often our only ozzer companions to our vehemence. Even zose who come from ze stars are human at zeir core - I suspect bodies reclaimed beneas' ze will of zose who died long ago.

"Walking corpses. Zombies. Puppets." Finally he plucked a taco from the container, holding it gingerly and disgustedly, before venturing a bite.

He hadn't tasted a piping hot meal in a solid month.

Groaning gently, he resisted the urge to simply consume the whole of it in as little time as possible, forcing himself to chew liberally before subjecting his too-often-empty stomach to food that may simply travel back up his esophagus. While he never considered himself a great fan of hispanic food, any edible sustenance tasted wondrous and wholly necessary right now. Even roasted rat appealed to the starving.

"I am certain zere are few who mediate. I know of one in particular zat refuses to fight unless zere is no ozzer option. However... Mediation is too of-..." Gritting his teeth, he cut himself off and cast gaze aside, into the alleys. And how many whole measures landed you in this position? "Too often zey mediate on an individual level. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. However, zere has been no ventures into diplomacy at a grand scale, as our opposition sports no figurehead - no unifying body zat may quell zeir ranks in ze event of an agreement. Effectively zere are a sousand sides to zis war: ours against nine hundred ninety-nine ozzers."

And here you are, forever washed in crossfire. Dropping the taco back into its box, Alois brushed his hand against his tattered coat before offering it toward Emily. "Take my hand, if you want to see teleportation rendered a reality. I suspect you would not object to a change of venue."

"I would expect not." emily admitted. "But the philosophy sounds there. At least on some level."

She listened raptly, letting alois eat and tried to observe - very carefully. monsters - monsters were real, then? Interesting. Her mind drift to the talking feline she'd met during a picnic months prior, and wondered if her earlier assessment was in any form incorrect - was the poor kitten part of the war too? How many people? Was it armies?

Wren seemed silent, eyes closing momentarily as she began to click into thought.

If Wren was anything, she was her father's child, beyond doubt, and even now the barely-adult woman was contemplating what Alois was saying, mulling over information from school as she gently reminded herself to think of the less likely as well.

One side, it sounded like, was organized. Rank and filed, kept together in some fashion- against a leaderless mass of what? Her mind breifly trailed to news reports of terrorism, to warnings and words from the television and she opened her eyes, visibly sorting this newfound information out in her mind as she considered things.

"Sometimes," She said calmly. "In the case when there's no leadership it's best to talk to those you can, I'd think." She spoke softly and thoughtfully. "I'm not the best strategist, nor would I profess to be. But without knowing everything... It sounds like a conflict of ideals. All I could say is in those cases it's best to speak to those who you can. Don't discount them- but if they don't hurt you, it's best not harm them. Unnecessary enemies are far worse than neutral parties, because neutral parties could be allies. Admittedly, though - I don't have all of the information. And I don't know if I ever will, so for all I know, my advice is bunk. and like I said before, my personal opinions - my perspective is probably skewed."

She contemplated his offer next, before tilting her head.

"Is it safe?"

Although she saw no reason to fully trust, she saw no reason to distrust - and he'd been polite so far. She could only judge others on how she was treated. Anything else, she figured, was unfair.

"It's just as well to murder zem all." Alois regarded her starkly before shifting his attention back to the tacos. "When fighting idealists, you cannot win wis' passion and speech - zey are too often stubbornly set in zeir ways." Myself included. "But what cannot be won wis' words alone will seek victory srough tempered steel and swift hand. And when ze last of us die, well... May our corpses form ze fodder for our dead ideals to flourish."

It's best to not harm them. I've met few senshi who know nothing of my reputation, of my deeds in that they do not strike as soon as they find my visage among the crowds. Those who turn wary acceptance toward me... Are they worth sparing? That reeks of the sentiment that life is inherently precious - in any variant. But those very people eradicate viruses, crush bugs, eat meat. Hypocrisy is every bit as natural as violent intent. Or am I still wrong? I can't work this out on my own. In a blink, he glanced briefly toward Emily one last time before looking back at the tacos. While he yearned to devour them on the spot, his offer demanded measures of energy better restored after eating.

"Perspectif' is always skewed, Emily. Zat is why we call it perspectif' - as it implies a visual scope from one particular vantage point. We are not ubiquitous in our sight - nor our position in reasoning.

"As for my offer... Zat depends on your definition of safe. On one hand, it may hold true ze science fiction stories of teleportation gone wrong, wherein ze user returns a pile of steaming guts from being turned inside out. Additionally, I might teleport ze pair of us into some heinous abyss from whence ze nightmares crawl out to play. I might miss my mark and we fall to our doom from ze height of a skyscraper. Perhaps we wind up fused wis'in a wall. We could go srough a myriad of hyposeses, Emily, but truly your speculation only boils down to do or do not." A crooked grin threatened to split his stoic countenance, but he suppressed it in part.

"Perhaps you should instead value it by experiences - is ze rest of your life, nebulous as it is, wors' experiencing for one brilliant moment ze purportedly impossible act of teleportation?"

"I don't douibt for a moment there's those who would pounce the chance to kill someone who's ideals might be different." Emily said calmly. Her mind trailed to her experiences seeing a man close to the woman she called Mother, in some way - the man was outright despicable and no amount of reasoning seemed to work. "There's those who will kill or be killed. I may disagree, but if someone won't listen and it comes to it, even a playground is a battlefield. Videogames or not."

Her own time online was often quite unique.

Emily considered Alois' offer, and his words thoughtfully.

"Perhaps. It does sound interesting." She grinned. "But whjere did you have in mind?"
