[That expression on Blue's face tells Tsume all that he needs to know. It's another point of similarity between them, members of a dying race on their way to extinction.]
Sometimes I don't think peace really exists in this world or any other.
[Tsume's grown hard and cynical, far more than someone of his years should be. He can't help it after all that he's seen.
He does cock his head in confusion as Blue talks about human minds. He's never given much thought to what human minds might be like.]
[Blue thinks that sometimes, too. but he's never given himself the chance to have more than a passing inkling of it, lest he dash the hopes of others. through that, he maintains his own hope; it's a self-sustaining cycle...and something that might not last, now so isolated from his kind and the circumstances they faced.
then again, seeing something so radically different may see fit to bolster his hopes!
the little beat of confusion prompts Blue to look back to Tsume, refocusing on him.]
Like how I found you. Your thoughts and feelings being carried out for me to hear...
Where I'm from, those things have always felt a certain way to me, because they were conditioned to be from a very young age. People do not think as freely as they could.
Here is different. I don't feel those restrictions. They might be entirely absent, in fact.
It sounds like you've been denied a lot of freedom in your life. You should change that.
[Being a wild animal, Tsume knew all about having the freedom to be who you wanted to be, go where you wanted to go, and do what you wanted to do without the restraints of others holding you back.]
[Tsume cocks his head, thinking over the question as his pointed ears are turned to a diagonal direction.]
I don’t know if it is exactly that for me. Wolves have a natural sort of freedom that humans often don’t. It’s the kind you only find in nature, where her’s are the only rules that apply.
[If Tsume was bound by shackles, they were only those of his own making in his mind.]
[nature's rules, huh... Blue can't say he's acquainted with them, not with the way society has been developed and fine-tuned to the state it's in now. animals are rare enough as it is in captivity, let alone something in the wild. Tsume's likeness and disposition are unique to Blue - perhaps all the more compelling a draw, even in his fury.]
I don't think...I'd like to see that kind of freedom taken from you here. I hope you can find it still, even in this place. Or...perhaps a way to escape, to where you are better served.

[a scary-but-exciting prospect to him.]

Perhaps...that is why I've been brought here.
Is it the same for you, do you think?
