Oho, just when it was finally getting less noisy... Some of you are recklessly hasty. [Not that he cares what happens to a lot of people here. He could name only two off the top of his head he'd have any shred of concern for given that Chris was not bad for a human and Sans was just... Sans.

The Noah's been non-existent on the network or anywhere for a while now and anyone that had been keeping an eye on him considering he could be a danger at any time would know that isn't normal. Even now with his shirt hanging open and his skin bare to show that long scar that extends his entire torso he's fingering a still healing wound near his gut. Innocence wounds take a while to heal on a Noah.] Pushing a god or anyone near invincible when you have no control over them is foolish. It gets them to retaliate or makes them showy. They are arrogant and act more like humans than gods. Don't be stupid.

[He pauses with a narrow of his eyes in thought.] In a little town I visited once I encountered a man. Near blew my hat off with the explosion he used to puncture one of the city walls. Fancy coat, emblems clear, I knew he was the enemy. The same scenario a hundred times before. Yet the town was the evacuated and there I was. He questioned my motive and circled me as if I was common prey. I didn't have to kill him. There was no need. I asked his name...

Daisya. Daisya Barry he said. Not on my list. Again, I didn't have to kill him. I bid him good night, safe travels, farewells. [Grin.] But he used that stupid little ball to attack me instantly. He couldn't let it go. He couldn't just walk away. He had to keep pushing despite the fact he was alone and outmatched with comrades nearby. Heh, even after figuring out what I was. Foolish and hasty. I gave him a chance but he didn't take it. He was weak so it went quickly but his screams echoed into the night and his pathetic, broken, weak and dead body hung there all night.

There is proof in those that have returned and left that we are going home. I hate being here as much as the next person but I'm not going to put a ton of effort out trying to fight a god when it'll do nothing for me in the long run. Besides, even if you did win, then what? Do any of you actually have what it takes to do what you must. Even then do you honestly think they even can send us home? You've seen what that resulted in. They tried. You whined.

In any case, I'll be out today on the streets. Cigarettes, lunch or bandages would be highly welcomed. I have nothing better to do.

I'd say no one deserves to die.

[His tone is mild. Tyki's free to take what he likes from it, but as for Sans? He's pretty sure he knows why he's withheld judgment on this guy thus far, and why there's some aspects of him that are just plain unsettling.]

I have no quarrel with anyone here, Sans. No one but the swordsman.

[It's hard. He acts more human than Noah except for the scary tone that makes him a danger. He could be a best friend or someone's worst enemy. His mood determined a lot of things. How he treated one person was completely different from another.]

And what happens when you decide you do have a quarrel with someone?

[He poses the question languorously, as easily and nonchalantly as one might inquire about the weather. Only they don't get weather in a cave like this, that's the thing.]

It depends on what they've done. When it comes to my family I spare no mercy if they've hurt them. If they are simply after me I will take pleasure in making sure they don't attack me again. If it's simply an insult, I don't really care.

[The answer is without hesitation. It all depended on the effort needed and right now petty details didn't influence him to attack.]

Seein' as everyone comes back to life here, just don't seem like there's much to really gain from it. Y'know?

[Not that there's much to gain from it anyway, in Sans's opinion. You get LOVE, sure, but that ain't what he'd call a worthy goal in the grand scheme of things. Or at all.]

It's one of the reasons why I see no point in hunting down the swordsman. At home I would be constantly looking but here we only run into each other if it is just by chance or he hunts me down from anger. He has quite a temper.

[Or...if Tyki feels like teasing. He is a dick to those he doesn't like.] You're safe. If that is any consolation. I wouldn't hurt you even if I was angry at you. You'd have to do something especially low to convince me otherwise.

Nice to know, but that ain't why I'm asking.

[He's got plenty of people here who don't like him much. Plenty of people who could and would knock him flat on his coccyx given half a chance, and thoroughly dust him in the process. It ain't his own personal safety he's worried about.

Mostly it's everyone else's.]

Name them and I will leave them alone.

[Because it's obvious where this is going and yet he knew that there is a high possibility that Sans won't. The video feed was far too public and not personal at all. Mmm, but Sans, he might want to make sure your fine at least physically.]

Suppose that everybody is too big of an ask?

[Apparently don't freaking kill people is a controversial statement down here. He didn't have anyone specific in mind, and now that Tyki's made the offer, he definitely ain't gonna propose that he stay away from anyone.

'Cause if there's one thing he's learned, it's that such propositions are the same as baring your SOUL for the taking. A real Achilles' heel for someone to turn to should they ever require leverage.]

[Small grin.] No, not too big right now.

[It made sense. Don't kill anyone. Sure, he took pleasure in killing but killing someone that gave no challenge was boring and even Tyki would made it quick enough not to want to at all. Effort was effort.

Making a promise or a deal with someone like Tyki generally wasn't advise unless you looked at every small detail.]

Sure it ain't.

[It ain't a promise by any stretch of the imagination in Sans's mind. "Promise" implies something with a lot more weight, a lot more deliberation. And he's got a policy against making promises in any case.

Either way, don't mean he's gonna trust that Tyki is tellin' the whole truth.

You don't have to kill to hurt who you're gonna hurt.]

[Tyki can't make promises because then he'll have to keep it. Right now this place was anything goes. He could say he wasn't going to kill anyone but another rage event or something where he can't control himself and hundreds could be dead at his feet.

Yeaaah, there was that little monumental moment where you have to decide whether you can get away with just hurting someone past the point of wishing them dead.] There's no one I really want to kill but him and I've done that already. He doesn't stay dead.

[Sans's grin widens. It ain't a very pleasant grin.]

I see.

[And just like that, Tyki has sealed every judgment Sans thought possible to make regarding his darker ideologies. The fact that the guy came back don't change the fact that he figured killing was an acceptable solution.]

Not every Exorcist is like him. Kanda Yu will attack no matter what I do. Perhaps he'll get bored too but his recent wound on my body says otherwise.

[There's an amused sound coming from Tyki at such a small answer. During the Rage event he didn't have to kill him yet he did. Sorry, but killing is a solution for Tyki. In his world there was no stopping death. It built the army. It bred hate. Hate bred war and war resulted in more death. There were too many losses to stop hate from either side of the war.]

Yet... there's one that tries not to kill no matter what. He has a lot more going on internally than externally.

And who might that be?

[In another time, he might'a said "the human." But things get complicated. And no matter what certain photographs might say, not everything is set in stone. Or, evidently, memory.

How perfect is that, given the circumstances?]

[Sad thing was he liked Sans. It's why he's telling him everything. It was just so easy when he enjoyed someone's company. It was dangerous.]

Allen Walker. [The name comes out so fluidly like he's said it a thousand times. There's fondness to it yet a complicated undertone. He liked Allen. It was a shame that he opposed them so much. He resisted and the sole reason he had that massive scar over his chest.

The boy tried to separate Tyki from his Noah with his weapon instead of kill him. He tried to save him. Heh, it went so horribly wrong.]

[Sans ain't a real complicated guy. Actually, that's a dirty lie: he's way more complicated than he lets on. But he's got a surprisingly solid sense of morality, and that morality boils down to "don't freaking kill people." This is evidently a much more difficult thing than first assumed.

He'd expected it, but it still cements a lot of what he's been thinkin'.]

You know the guy? He here?

[One cannot say if Tyki was ever a killer before he got his Noah. From his lazy lifestyle and his lack to want to do anything at all, probably not. It's likely what Walker was trying to save when he went to separate the Noah from the man. In truth he was still very much just a man clinging to humanity but far too deep to turn back.]

He's not. I can only feel one Innocence and that is Yu Kanda.

["Innocence." That's a hell of a word for it.]

So you can feel 'em. When people from your world come callin'.

[It ain't so much of a question as it is a hypothesis bein' verbalized in real-time.]

[Isn't it? It's what it was always called by humans. Yet the Innocence weapon was cruel. Once it found a host it didn't let them go and if it felt betrayed or someone tried to leave that life style, they became puppets. "The Fallen" in other words.]

No, just their weapons. The Innocence always comes with a user; an Exorcist. If someone else form the Order came and they weren't an Exorcist I wouldn't even know they were here. Allen is an Exorcist.

Not sure about that little term, myself. "Innocence." I mean, hey.

[He chuckles. It ain't a real happy sound, nor is it genuinely mirthful by any stretch of the imagination.]

Talk about false advertising.

I certainly didn't name it. It is nothing I would call Innocent.

[He snerks if only for the way it sounds. After so many years he just got use to it.]

Mmhmm. If you want a closer look Kanda's is his sword yet going near the man is trouble in itself. I doubt he'll let you touch it.

Not real interested, but thanks.

[His interest in a weapon of any sort is next to nil, it's safe to say. Still, he can be polite in his dismissal, if somewhat scathingly so.]

It's understandable. He would likely try to stab you if you had any intentions of interacting with it or even making it seem like you were interested in it.

[Innocence was a dangerous weapons. It couldn't hurt humans but Noah like him were at a risk.]

[Sans has had enough of being beset by people wielding sharp objects to last him a lifetime. And a post-lifetime.]

Not really a fan of stabbing, no.
