*The copper-haired girl replies to Zykovian in HP:*
[SBLOCK]
"Please excuse my question, but I wish to improve my comprehension of the use of subtexts in language. Particularly, when you said 'not quite there either' , to what were you referring? Specifically, could you tell me what the implied subject of the sentence was and what there stood for? If you do not care and choose to ignore me, I will understand."
[/SBLOCK]

*Erila, the copper-haired girl, and the cat-girl nod their readiness, and Abdiel does so also if Mhrazhar does.*
[/SBLOCK]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

RA: [SBlock]“I try to be compassionate, my sister,” Molpe says with a smile trying to reaffirm her Karya, “I am honored that I remind you of your young self and I will strive never to disappoint you, sister.”[/SBlock]

 

[FreeXenon]

Mhrazhar, Mojiin Avenger

AbMM[sblock]*Mhrahzhar looks to the Eri and Abdiel, then to Zkovian and Fedowin and nods.

[Mojiin][sblock]"Let this day begin."[/sblock][/sblock]

"Please excuse my question, but I wish to improve my comprehension of the use of subtexts in language. Particularly, when you said 'not quite there either' , to what were you referring? Specifically, could you tell me what the implied subject of the sentence was and what there stood for? If you do not care and choose to ignore me, I will understand."

Zykovian nodded his head once, then explained, "By 'not quite there either' the implied subject was your opinion of who I was. I am neither a 'Trained killing machine' nor a 'murderer by circumstance.' Both of which imply that not only do your actions define you but that the actions of a single day or event can define you. While this may be true from one individual's point of view - considering the circumstances in which the view took place - it is not who I am." [/SBLOCK] *In E/S/HP* *Zykovian looked to 108r527 to see if she understood, before continuing on.* "Final thing before heading out," Zykovian mentioned. "Anyone seen that pair of earring that Glamour mentioned . . . well, through One Zero Eight here, anyway?" [/SBLOCK]

Fedowin gets up and stretches, then helps Belle up. In eldish he replies, "I'm ready to get out and face the day, especially if it comes with food! But I'll need to run an errand or two first and get the money I owe you Zyk. Where is your flat?"

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"Molpe, you have such a pure, kind soul...how could anyone ever think you would...Best not to dwell on it--Look, recognise this place, my sweet sister?"

*Molpe sees the sign tht tells her that the Mystic Springs Bathhouse is the building just ahead.*
[/SBLOCK]

Melody:
[SBLOCK]
*Melody walks from the Traveler's Ward to the Archduke's Ward, and she sees the Grand Amphitheatre just ahead, with the Ducal Hall of Galas to the side. Both buildings are grandly decorated with a sign welcoming convocation-goers. There seems to be a speech going on in the amphitheatre, and the front door of the Hall of Galas is open, with a sign indicating that registration and a list of events is inside in the plaza.*

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

RA: [SBlock]“I surely do,” Molpe smiles at the sign but muses over Karya’s words without proceeding towards the bathhouse ahead. Finally she turned her head curiosity towards the Amaranthian ambassador, “Dwell upon what, sister?”[/SBlock]

*The copper-haired girl seems to pause and reflect on what Zykovian said, and then she replies in HP:*
[SBLOCK]
"Thank you. I have noted your use of implied substructure and will try to use it when analysing your speech for innuendo in the future, though this is always difficult for me. As for your denial that actions define someone, I am sorry, but I must disagree or risk being defined as a someone. You see, I have been told that I do not think like a person does--I merely display a cleverly-designed false magical simulation of thought. I have predicted with seventy percent certainty that the reason you told me you do not believe that actions define a person is because you actually believe that the thoughts behind the actions are what define a person. I do not prefer that line of thinking because it means that I am incapable of value--for instance the concept of friendship: no matter how many kind acts I perform to display a clear appearance of affection for my friend, they count for nothing because there was no real thought behind them, merely a simulacrum of thought. I choose to define beings by their actions because that means that Miss Myrrhine was truly my friend, and I was hers...It is all that I have..."

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
*Karya rubs her nose against Molpe's and then tickles her sister gently.*

"Nothing silly--if we talked about it, we'd be dwelling on it, so let's go dwell with your sister Zarina instead--she's really excited to see you!"
