Idleness

[04:24] There's soft, albeit heavy huff outwards-- almost a sigh, before he'd idly waddle over, plopping down onto the wooden floor underneath all the while. His palms only press against the surface as Zeriel leans back, pale gaze drifting over in Salthiel's direction. No words escape for a couple more, longer moments, and only blankness embraces along his features before those lips finally part.

"Someone got captured-- no military action taken, and it's been a couple days or so."

The words are quiet, practically murmured outwards before he'd sigh yet once again, glancing about.

"It's kind of odd-- perhaps strategic, though still sad, isn't it? Signing a peace treaty with chaos leadership of Gehenna-- not assaulting Valmasia in particular, either, and remaining idle for most parts... can understand some reasons behind it, but..."

A shrug, then.

"...terror is the only thing to grow on idleness. Sometimes, matters are taken without being by those who are officially in charge of things-- someone I really admire once told me that. Though there's a fine line between taking action and jumping into outright suicide."

Ah, well.

"Sometimes makes you wish if you were significantly stronger--- and you had the manpower. You could do so much more-- help so many more, and make a bigger impact... not really calling the leadership incompetent as they are, but... still. Idleness is bad."

[04:35] "Hm. No, the news of Lady Igleta's capture has only been recent. And I don't know if any reports has been written. However, the Shogun has already been informed. Only time will tell how she'll react," said Salthiel in response, returning the Heifang's gaze.

A trio of water orbs surrounded him as his eyes shone blue, before lifting his right arm up and pushing his palm forward.

"Idleness seems so prevalent. Yet at the same time, I still wish to have faith at least upon some of the Qilins and the Shogun. They've lead an incursion against the vampires, managing to free a prisoner. That effort deserves merit and proves their willingness to move," added the youth as wind seemed to explode around him, as if a momentum to shoot the three orbs of water forward.

"However, I agree that I find it odd for them to sign a peace treaty with Gehenna. Rumors state of chaos and demonic presence plaguing the land. And I do not like the idea of glorifying them as agents of light, simply because of going against Dawn. Simply because of their respective leaders spiting each other. I do not like how they cover it up as a fight against evil, though in all actuality, it is but a simple political strife," he said as the orbs vanished before hitting the wall.

"Idleness, however, I do agree is bad. But soon. Even if I must do it myself, I will fight for what I believe is right. Chaos and evil shall perish under mine. I shall impose upon them the terror they wish to unleash upon others. I shall carve a path for peace, to dye carpets of lush greenery and white snow, with blood so red that the heavens will weep."
