...wait, how did immortals get involved here?

[soulus]

I'm saying that nothing is timeless.

[dawnblushed]

...not even the Realm. Right, I think I understand now.

[soulus]

But knowing that this may happen again does not change our objective.

[dawnblushed]

Right, first and foremost, we have to make sure our worlds are safe for now.

...but it does mean that if we see anything that might help us keep them safe permanently, we should probably look into it, too.

[soulus]

. . . I don't care about that . . . but I would need the world intact to spend the money I earn. It seems I have no choice but to look into the matter.

[dawnblushed]

[Yona tries to hide her laughter, but a little pfft! escapes anyway.]

...what do you want to buy, anyway?

[soulus]

[Don't laugh.]

Is that important right now?

[dawnblushed]

Well... maybe not, but I can't help but be curious.

[soulus]

I would buy ammunition, of course.

[dawnblushed]

...is it really that expensive?

[soulus]

Guns are useless without ammunition. It's important to keep them loaded.

[dawnblushed]

So you work all the time so you can... afford to keep your guns loaded?

[soulus]

Without a working gun, it would be that much more cumbersome to fulfill my contracts.

[dawnblushed]

...so you work... so you can have your guns loaded... so you can keep working?

[soulus]

Yes.

[dawnblushed]

...that's kind of circular, you know?

[soulus]

That's the nature of the job. Ammunition may cost money, but the rewards from taking on contracts add up over time.

[dawnblushed]

...but you just spend all those rewards on more ammunition.

[soulus]

No. Some of the reward is spent on ammunition. I don't spend the rest.

[dawnblushed]

...so you just hoard it?

[What is he, a dragon?]

[soulus]

[Stop calling him a dragon.]

Was that not enough to sate your curiosity? What I do with it isn't important.

[dawnblushed]

It's important to you, though, isn't it? Or else you wouldn't be using it. I want to understand you better.

[soulus]

There is nothing to understand, nor does it have any bearing on the Realm's affairs. Please let it go.

[dawnblushed]

[Yona pouts.]

...you said please, so I guess I have to.
