Of course, keep in mind that I've been completely wrong before [see: the nana killed junna theory] so take everything I say with a grain of salt.

[hmmmm.]

[foodbin]

...Okay. Grain of salt taken.

[nonbelligerent]

Otherwise... it's difficult to say. Caring about friends and believing in one's sense of justice are hardly unusual traits, after all.

[foodbin]

Yeah. Still - if there's anyone else you think it would be worthwhile to keep in mind, let me know. I might be able to get more out of Lune or Sol.

[...]

There are some other things he mentioned to me, but I don't think they really have to do with the case.

[nonbelligerent]

What did he say?

[foodbin]

For one, that he didn't decide what elements everyone went into, but he thinks that all of them are fitting. So... Even if we don't know many alignments, maybe we can narrow things down moving forward based on that.

[nonbelligerent]

Maybe. Personally, I would've expected to be given my clan's element, but Sol seems to think water suits me, for whatever reason.

[foodbin]

Your clan's element?

[nonbelligerent]

Wind.

[foodbin]

Huh. Does that give you special abilities, or...?

[nonbelligerent]

[he nods.]

Access to wind abilities.

[foodbin]

Are those similar to the ones people here have, or something different?

[nonbelligerent]

Somewhat similar, I suppose.

[foodbin]

What did you use them for?

[nonbelligerent]

Combat, healing, writing messages in the sky using flowers...

[he's actually not kidding about that last one.]

[foodbin]

[Well. Judging from her laugh, she definitely thinks it was a joke.]

Right. Flower power.

[nonbelligerent]

[he just smiles and taps his throat. can't talk, remember!!]

[foodbin]

Oh.

[...]

Do you not have paper and writing utensils...?

[nonbelligerent]

Not always on hand. And not before I could enter a city.

[that might sound bad but honestly half of it is just that he ran off to play in a flower field with his daughter like first thing after returning to the human realm, so.]

[foodbin]

So... You just ask to be let in. By spreading flowers around in the sky.

[nonbelligerent]

[he smiles.]

Not quite. One of my kind walking around would cause a stir, so I pass as a half-blood, who're allowed access if they have the sponsorship of a magician.

There's a family that's been long acquainted with me and knew who I was already. I think I mentioned them already—a father and daughter I was staying with?

[foodbin]

[She nods.]

Yeah, I remember you mentioned them. But... pass as a half blood?

[nonbelligerent]

Those with a human parent and a sura parent. So, humans with sura aspects. Or suras with human aspects, depending on how you view it.

[foodbin]

Right, but how could you pass as one if you aren't?

[...]

Unless you are.

[nonbelligerent]

[he shakes his head.]

Outwardly, we look very much alike. I could never pass off as a full-blooded human— [he gestures to. well, his cat ears, but he means the horns underneath his hood] —but in terms of appearance, I don't look any different than a Half.
