To fight for others is certainly noble. I too have made that my purpose. But it is easy to forget what you are fighting for when it is all you know.

[There's a few ink splots and dots that suggest he is tapping the page with his pen. You can almost HEAR a thoughtful 'hmm']

If you are able, come out to the center of the village. i will show you what I mean.

[simplicitas]

[Glances outside... ugh, but then people would have to see him...

...]

Okay I'll be right there. I dont think we've met in person yet, I'm the person with the white hair and the flowers growing everywhere

[An ominous note to leave off on, surely, but Dark Cacao might already know how bad Elsword's corruption is just based on anecdotes from others here. Regardless, the boy will be by the well. He is, indeed, partly covered in white lilacs on his right side, from his fingers to his missing right eye. Blackened skin shows underneath the blooms. Otherwise, he's just a boy. A young man, with an empty expression and a general demeanor of "I don't want to be outside".]

[winterfrosting]

I have long black hair, so you should be able to spot me.

[ yeah sure DC, that's the most notable thing about you. sure. Still he arrives shortly after Elsword, to give the young man time to change his mind if he wished. He spots the flowers, sees them... and has no reaction what so ever ]

Thank you for coming.

[simplicitas]

[Ah, yes, that sure is a man with long black hair. Easy find.]

I guess I had to get out at some point. It's nice to meet you. I'm Elsword. I can't remember if I ever introduced myself in the notebook in the past.

[Honestly, he probably did not. His handwriting is recognizable as a childish scrawl, and the one thing he did do was label Dark Cacao's map and then fuck off immediately, so...]

[winterfrosting]

And I am Dark Cacao Cookie.

[he used his name in all that map mess but not towards Elsword specifically, so better to be polite.]

You may shorten it if you wish.

[humans never seem to use their entire name. It's strange but easy enough to adapt to]

[simplicitas]

Like Mr. Pure Vanilla, [Elsword nods,] it's nice to meet you.

[No use beating around the bush here. They're here for a reason. Elsword would love to find joy in the little things again, but, uh. Depression and all.]

You were gonna show me something. "Motion to find peace" and "motion to find destruction" and all, 'cause there's a difference, apparently?

[winterfrosting]

Yes, like Pure Vanilla. We are from the same place.

[He nods and is silent for a moment, pondering his words.]

In battle, and just after, it is common to feel... unsettled. High with restless energy and on alert. Do you recognize this feeling?

[he WOULD just say 'adrenaline' but cookie bodies probably don't have stuff like hormones so-]
