This man is truly your lynchpin to the belief that there is something worth in fighting for humanity, hm? Ah, I can only imagine how difficult keeping him in one piece may be~
...But, how about I sate your curiosity out of the kindness of my heart? I can tell what you wish to desperately know, after all.
I know of two. How lucky for you. One was delusional and sacrificed the wellbeing of all those around him to satisfy his desires. He cared for little else...and destroyed the lives of many in various ways without a shred of remorse.
[ There is no fondness in this tone as they speak about this person, but they see no reason not to tell Wolfwood as it is. As for the second, their tone settles around an attempt at masking honest exasperation that's intermingled with their usual light manner of speaking. ]
As for the other man, he is so foolishly committed to holding steadfast to the faith that the humans he saves are worth his consideration time and time again. No matter what they've done to him. Even when at times they wished for him to hurry to sacrifice himself, and gave no thanks for his actions - for him saving the world. For saving them. Ironic, since he isn't wholly human himself.
His faith in others is unshakeable. His willingness to unwaveringly lend kindness and place himself last...foolish.
[ They remember "implying" to that man that such kindness would kill him. They chuckle with something resembling amusement and shake their head, though. One might say it's ironic they're here instead of that self-sacrificial Herrscher, but they will not accept it is fate that this happened. ]
To that end, you may call yourself stupid enough to believe this friend of yours, but were I to criticize you on that subject specifically, inevitably I'd have to judge myself. And, you see Wolfwood, that just won't do!
There are other subjects I can very well find to judge you with instead. That would prove to be far more satisfactory.
no subject
