天原 日女[ヒルメ] Amahara Hirume &quot;Lulu&quot;

...Yeah, alright. Sure.

[He won't debate the point.]

Point is I'll... y'know. Do what I can as long as you don't try to murder me.

One because it's not gonna stick.

Two because it's probably better if you learn now you can't solve your problems with murder.

...But I'll let you try if you don't cause Auntie Lulu any trouble.

From:

But I've found most of my problems are best resolved by murder.

::Cocking an eyebrow.::

From:

Artemis needs to be able to integrate with society, auntie. Solving problems with murder tends to put a damper on that.

From:

Of what Auntie said, I'm free to stay here in this complex, and be driven to TOPS to see my friends.

And all of my learning will be here, so...

... Why am I defending myself to a woman hating Ogre?

From:

...I'm glad you found some friends.

[He hmphs.]

I just want you to be able to have a life that isn't, y'know, totally insane. I know that's a longshot but...

It's me trying to take some degree of responsibility, alright?

From:

... Then you can die and I can move on and have a normal life. Mother would want it that way.

From:

Okay, let's get this part squared away.

I quite literally can't die.

[He's just gonna let the Gigantech Armor form over his arm for emphasis.]

Gigantech Fighter will eventually reverse whatever you do to me. It's pretty damn hard to pry it from who I am at this point.

It won't be cathartic, I'll be back on my feet in like a week, and we'll be doing this same old song and dance.

From:

... What if your body was separated into pieces.

::Stroking her chin, her arm brushing a pearl necklace.::

From:

...I don't know that it wouldn't work, but I don't know if it would.

I feel like given enough time I could probably regrow most of my limbs. I did have my torso blown open that one time.

From:

... This almost makes me want to experiment.

From:

I would really prefer if we didn't. It's not a particularly fast regenerative factor and judging by the initial experience it is very unpleasant.

From:

Maybe Artemis, we can do try it out as a family when you're older.

::Pats her 'niece' on the shoulder.::

From:

... I'd like that, Auntie.

From:

I've got plenty of time to lose what vestiges of connection to reality I have left before letting you play Dracula with me, yes.

From:

Like I said, something for her to do after she grows up into a fine young woman.

From:

Well, with any luck, maybe something from the Ogre worth learning will stick by the time she grows into her own.

From:

I doubt that.

::Stomps on your foot like a brat, while cracking open her lemonade.::

From:

Ow!

[Hops on one foot, grimacing.]

...The littlest moon has a long way to go, still, 'Auntie'.
