Yeah, I do feel less bad about it when you put it that way.
Let's work together to make sure Peter gets out of this alright. I'm sure between the two of us we can do it.
[It's awkward talking about the Relic here. It was a closely guarded secret back at home. It probably didn't need to be held so close to the chest here, but there was only one question left on it and she was sure that it would necessary to save her home.]
I used it once back at home. I think I learned a little more than I bargained for.
I accidentally became one of the leading experts on ancient history, why magic is rare in my world, how the Grimm came to be, and a handful of other things.
...I asked what an immortal being was hiding from us. Turns out it was a lot.
[Let the knowledge that Ruby carries all this around in her dumb little head sink in for a moment.]
Yeah. I understand that. You aren't the type to try and take advantage of someone like that.
But some direction could help him, like a code or a guideline. Take being a Huntress for example. It's my job to protect people who can't protect themselves.
But one of my teachers once told me that doesn't mean we all have to fight. He devoted himself to research and understanding our world better. So that we wouldn't repeat the mistakes that brought disaster.
A nudge to help people out might be what he needs.
And uh... Well. I don't disagree with you but my relationship with ancient beings isn't all that great.
[Ozpin is not a great ancient being to hang around with.]
So I've been learning over the last year.
I guess?? Still trying to figure it out but that seems like the most likely answer. All I know for sure is that I can blast Grimm with my eyeballs if I think about it right.
My mentor hates me when I say it like that. If she shows up don't tell her I said that.
That would make lot of sense. It's something worth asking him about if or when he makes an appearance again? It wasn't really my intention to spook him, but maybe now that I know I can try wearing sunglasses or something? Do you think that would work?
I wish I knew a bit more about how I'm connected to that God. It'd probably help all of us out a bit more here.
I feel like that seems to be quite the usual for handling ancient things. We always get a little more than we bargained for. [ She's... expecting what she's done with Paimon will honestly bear the same fruit. She isn't sure, but she suspects as much. All she can do is just... try to work with it. ] I suppose there's a positive in finding out so much lost information, though? Isn't it better than stumbling around in the dark? I suppose sometimes it's best not to know but... silver linings...?
[ Sometimes there's things that are best not being learned. But she'll always try to find some good in it. ]
That's... a good idea, actually. A demon code, of sorts. I think him not attacking others would be a rather good 'Rule Number One'. Him being... less aggressive would be a nice start.
I think that's a far better role for him. I mean, there's... a lot of... military? aspects to him? From what I've read about what he can do, but he's not actually a demon that fights.
[ A king commands, not fights, sort of speak. ]
You've certainly got a least a bit more experience than me, but that's... worrying. I suppose it's a work in progress?
[ That would be quite a new life goal: improve relationships with ancient beings. ]
That's... very impressive though. Not to worry, I won't tell her about the 'blasting with eyeballs'. :)
I think it would be, yes. I'm not sure if sunglasses would help? Something tells me it's not really a... physical thing. I don't think that's the part demons really care for, maybe it's... something on the inside? Maybe things like souls. That's what he can see? I'm not sure.
Maybe there's some way you can find out in Deerington. It holds a lot of secrets about us, why not something like your connection?
I guess so. For what it's worth I think you made the right choice with this, Luna. I think if anyone can help Peter, it would be you.
It is. I don't regret my choice and I wouldn't take it back. I just have to tread carefully with getting the information out there. It's just a lot of responsibility to carry with it and I've already kind of flubbed up trying to get it there responsibly.
[She might be wanted for treason because of it.]
Every once in awhile I have one of those.
If that's the case it might be something he might take to pretty well? If he's not used to being in a host and he's prone to panicking it might be good to have that sense of familiarity?
Weird. I mean back where I'm from Demon is just another word for Grimm but even Grimm have different ways hunting.
[It's scary whenever Ruby has more knowledge than other people.]
It's weird hearing that from you of all people, but I'm happy to share whatever I do know with you. If it can help you and Peter out I know it'll be worth it.
And yeah, It's a big work in progress. But I would like it to work out more than anything.
[Look. Sometimes you and your family are groomed by an ancient being to fight in a shadow war with his ancient ex-wife. It's complicated.]
Look it's the coolest thing ever! If I could show you I would. Thank you, you're the best~! You would love her if she did show up though. She's helped me out a lot.
Hm. Well I don't really know how to cover up my soul or whatever power he can see. Add that to do the to-do list of things to look into. I'm sure that could be useful to a few people around here.
Huh. I hadn't really thought about that. I guess if there are demons and other kinds of weird creatures around. There must be someone who knows something about gods and stuff, right?
