" So?"
-
"Yeah I am being an unreasonable asshole aren't I?"
-
" Exactly."
-
"Yeah. You guys caught me in a less than ideal mood. Being kell of a house full of exiles and war prisoners isn't exactly forgiving."
-
" That's fascinating."
-
"Yeah, super duper interesting. I dare you to top that, aside from travelling outside the sol system."
-
" Fine." James put his hand out, and on the ground, a mountain of books appeared. " All of that is information on Vex that has never been discovered before. I'm talking the real scary stuff."
-
"Oh snap, don't tell me anything. My brain's full of shit I didn't need to know from the Hive. Tell me, you ever read the Books of Sorrow? It... It is something I tell you."
-
" Books of Sorrow? That's third grader material compared to this."
-
"Well, I'm a hunter buddy. I try reading that and it's like the first time I tried reading hive runes. And beleive me I did not want to learn those."
-
" Try reading those books without the proper equipment, and you could either go blind, which is the mild consequence, or get your brains fried."
-
"Alright then, I never knew books can kill people. Good to know."
-
It's not the books themselves. It's more of the information inside. Vex are terrifying."
-
"You know what I mean. Could you give me a small portion of the information that [i]wont[/i] kill me or is it impossible for a hunter to not go immediately insane?"
-
" I could tell you, but it would fly over your head. And the only way to read it..... Is to bind your body with the Vex, like me." He gestured to his Vex arm.
-
"I'll pass. I already have my unwanted bond with the hive. The only perk is that I can go in and out of ruptures as I please. Bad news is that I'm, in a sense, part hive."
-
" Sounds a lot like Aries."
-
"Don't even compare me to that jack-ass."
-
" You know so little about him."
-
"I don't need to, and I don't want to."
-
" Fine. But next time, try to remember this. He lived his life as a slave. Any power he had was rented. His choices didn't matter. If he didn't want to kill, he would still have to. That turned him bitter. He doesn't know what it's like to have choices."
-
"Does he honestly have no idea what a choice is?"
-
" He's forgotten what it is. He used to be a Guardian. But that feels like it was ages ago. His Darkness may give him power, but it also chains him."
-
"Super duper awesome. How did he get that crap in the first place?"
-
" A bounty. He had to kill a close friend of his that turned criminal. It turned into a long term chase. By the end, Aries was consumed by it and the Darkness just seeped in."
