Mnnh. Good. Hope she stays that way. Handsome Jackoff didn't.
[Which annoys Krieg to no end, every single day! Angel deserves to be here. Krieg...Krieg finds it questionable whether or not he does. He doesn't particularly think so, but then, what does he know? Jack definitely doesn't. That much, he does know.
On the topic of Krieg's Favorite Person, though...!]
...But neither did Angel!
[He practically lights up - as he always does - when he talks about his best friend. He stands up a little straighter, and most of the growl in his voice smooths away to something less dangerous and more warm.]
No more slag cage, no more broken promises, no more lies and deceit, just a normal life with monsters and friends!
[Or what he assumes to be a normal life, anyway. He's no expert on that particular topic.]
Mmm. I can't say I believe the childish notion that there is no person beyond redemption, but... that which watches over this world works in ways we can't understand. There's a reason to it all, simply not for us to know. Perhaps...perhaps for some of us, it's not enough to simply escape our demons. We must be given a chance to face them and cast them aside ourselves.
[But Lust has always been a student of philosophy, searching for meaning and reason to existence the workings of nature. There must be a purpose to suffering, else how could she possibly bear her own existence?]
[And even this world is not without suffering. In ways, she's lost more here than she ever did back in that world she was twice born to.]
Ah, yes, she's a sweet girl. She'll do well, here. It's a kind world, overall. As far as last stops go...I can think of far, far worse.
[Krieg doesn't have the patience for philosophy. Of course, life's pretty black and white for him, and has been for...well, for as long as he can remember. There may be some shades of grey creeping in at the edges after living for a few months in Johto, but not nearly enough to compete with what he knows. And what he knows is that the deserving deserve to die, and the undeserving don't.
It's nice that the population of this planet seems to fall entirely into the latter category, though.]
She is doing well! She deserves a long and happy life! And she can have one, here.
