[ Roxana is walking at a leisurely state. It's obvious she's thinking and walking at the same time. She slows when she sees 9S, wherever he is. ]
Did today make you understand humans more or less?

[ He's on his way out of the meeting hall! ]
—Huh?
[ Oh. Hi. ]
... I don't think what happened was the fault of any human here.

It wasn't, but it became a bit dramatic at the end. Are you used to things like this?
[ she doesn't know how dramatic the nier universe is. ]
[ she doesn't know how dramatic the nier universe is. ]
... Yeah. With machines and androids, but that doesn't make it any different.
No, I suppose machines and androids aren't different from anyone else or any of the other people here.
[ all the ffxivs who aren't human are just as emotional and etc. as anyone else. ]
Will you tell what kind of conflicts you have with machines?

[ She can't see his sidelong glance, but it's there. ]
If you want. [ He's the last person to blame someone for being nosy. ] We've been at war with them for a long time now.

You don't have to tell me anything you're not comfortable with sharing. I simply wanted to get to know you more.
We can choose another topic.

[ It's hard to be uncomfortable with something that's just been a fact of life as you've always known it, but he doesn't say so aloud. ]
It doesn't make for pleasant conversation, really. That's all.

It's all right. I doubt anything you can tell me will make me feel unpleasant.
[ She sounds very assured in that. It's not like she expects him to drop his most devastating details when they don't know each other well. ]

[ It comes out a touch dry, but: ]
What, seen it all?
What, seen it all?
[ She laughs a little. ]
Not at all. Are you planning to tell me everything? I don't expect you to go into sordid details because you've already shown concern and enough social grace to know that what you'd have to say isn't easy to hear for most.
Even if you like to be cheeky, you have more tact than some others here.
[ but also, her skills say she's seen a lot of death, so war isn't going to break her. ]

[ "Cheeky" is a nice way of putting it. That said, he'll continue on, away from the meeting hall. The view from the bridge is nice, but he'd rather be elsewhere. ]
And what more do you want me to say?
And what more do you want me to say?
[ Sure. Wherever he wants to walk is fine. She follows easily enough. ]
Why are you at war?
Why are you at war?
[ It's a question that had an easy answer, once; now he has to consider it, like it's a hard hitting one. ]
I don't know, but it doesn't matter. I still intend to kill them when I get back.

[ me, squinting: what is this canon point.....
She nods after a moment. ]
Why do you harbor such murderous intent for them?
[ There is no censure or judgment. It's a question, pure and simple. ]

[ You can figure it out, I believe in you. ]
I think it's pretty obvious that you'd want to kill something if it's done nothing but out your kind for no damn reason at all.

[ my brain is tired and old and i need sleep :persevere:
The way he's described it, she wonders if it's not the same on both sides. ]
Of course. Self-preservation is natural. No one takes kindly to being attacked.
[ Unless you're Clarte or someone like them. But killing for a war with reasons that don't matter.... 9S... buddy... ]

Then that's all there is to it.
Is that so?
[ She hums softly. ]
That's more or less the case here although I don't want it to get to the point of war.

Everyone here is too friendly with each other for that, I think.

[ If Roxana's looking for 9S, she'll eventually find her luck on the way to the meeting hall—more precisely, the long bridge leading to it.
9S leans up against the railing, gaze fixated at the river below. ]

[ reading 9S on a bridge gives me depression
DID HE GET HIS ARM FIXED OR ANYTHING ELSE FIXED....do the med pods work on robots... help.... what is his status? Roxana is looking.
She walks up to him, her expression concerned. ]
Are you all right to be out here, 9S?

[ uh... good question but it's fine he is not going to the medbay. ]
If you're worried about anyone, I doubt it should be me.

[ if he didn't get healed WHAT IS HIS STATE.... GIVE ME HIS VISIBLE INJURIES ANAIS :/ ]
Why would you say that?
Why would you say that?
[ ara didn't read my cyoa return comment... :/
jk. He looks mmmmostly physically fine? There's random scrapes on his face and legs where his uniform doesn't cover him, and a sleeve covers his arm, which got the worst of it. It's a little bendy. ]
The others got it worse.
