"So, do you think you need all of those weapons?"

"I'd rather carry more and be more prepared, then to suffer death with barely anything on me." She replies, her wine arriving for her.
-
"Ah. I suppose you have no contact with more compact weaponary?"
-
"Not exactly..." she replies, pointing to her katana sheathed away under the cloak. "I would prefer to hit from all ranges...that way I could gain the edge on my enemy." She replies, simply sipping her drink.
-
"You can compact swords." (He takes a small cylinder from a socket on his armour ' s calf, presses a button, and t extends into a regular sword)
-
"Oh...in that case, unfortunately not. That still doesn't excuse myself from being very effective with such crafts of war." She replies.
-
"I didnt think so"

*She simply stares at him, as she finishes her wine.*
-
"So, do you have business here?"
-
"I personally would like to just find sanctity in here; sometimes, you just need a place where you feel safe." She replies, casually ordering another.*
-
"You feel safe in the presence of the most deadly people in history, while a giant is attacking, in the wake of a massive terrorist strike?"
-
"Yes...you survived the attack. This Dojo survived the monster, yes?" She asks, an eyebrow raised at him.
-
"I survived the attack. The civilians didn't."
-
"Losses have to be counted. Cataclysms can lead to the progression of all species...an I correct?" She says, as she started sipping her second wine.
-
"The only messurement required for this is 'too many'. And no, it isn't.
-
"Well, that's how our family was taught..." she sips her second wine. "It was nice meeting a person like you."
-
"Thank you. And when all but the warriors are filtered out, who rules? Who makes food? Natural selection only works in nature.
-
"Then aren't we a part of nature as well?" She replies, pulling out a wipe and her Annihilator, cleaning it.
-
"We are of nature as a table is of a oak seed.
-
"And yet we and nature are like harmony and variety in the mind of an artist; when balanced, they become the perfect combination. Too much of one...and it could lead to the demise of the other." She says

-
"But yet anything can return to its normal state by simply wiping the slate clean." She says. "All it needs is a second chance...and a new start."
-
"A new start? you mean a post - apocalyptic wasteland?"
-
"No...meditation. Clearance of the debt and loss of the past; it would bring a reawakening; a second chance, to prevent nature from returning with a vengeance to strike us all." She adds.
-
"Meditation does many things, but reciving reconciliation with some sort of spirit of nature isn't one of them. "
-
"That just means you haven't tried hard enough." She replies, as she finished cleaning up her Annihilator, golden dragons embroiled in the weapon, as she put it away.
