The personality was unstable. The person you know as "Erland" was conceived as a bastion of corruption that delighted in torment. A veritable mix of all that is foul in living beings.
I cannot be a 'Mister', child. Simply "Xi" will do.
I can try and explain as best I can then. I will have to inform the mistress eventually, but I thought I could give him a week at least, considering the circumstances.
It is still impossible, since I am not of the male gender, and therefore cannot be a 'mister'.
On the contrary, he is. Prior to his transubstantiation into a human shell, he had committed many acts which would have been quite sufficient to give him at least life in prison, had he been under human law. However, he appears to have grown since falling in love with you, and thus the situation mirrors that of my mistress, hence why I am allowing this reprieve, since I believe it is what my Master would do.
I suppose if you must, although I would not use the derogatory as such. I suppose I should also ask for your own name, considering that you seem to have several.
Possibly, but the mistress has been quite exasperated at this chase. It is not entirely impossible that she would not simply end his existence at this rate.
I am aware of both names, Miss. I inquired as to know which one you wish to be addressed as.
He has already interfered in the natural order of things on this island, and possibly this planet. Regardless of that fact, the potential for such actions remains the same. I believe the saying would be something along the lines of "sleeping lions".
Specific wrongs are not as great as his potential for such wrongs, especially if he was to become involved with Shinitoku. It is sufficient to say that he has done horrible things to the minds of certain individuals on this planet, going so far as to nearly kill several students in order to retrieve another student that he was tormenting for his amusement, which would likely have ended with said student's death, had it continued.
Humans are among many species who are not entirely honest with themselves, let alone with others.
But is the piece in the pink shirt the *same* as this monstrosity you're discussing? I can see your point... but what has he done as he IS? Can you answer that?
Is a criminal struck with Amnesia and a new chance the same man he was before?
There you go again, acting all high and mighty and dodging questions. What is your problem?
Do you propose that he be allowed to roam free until he has ruined or destroyed the lives of others, then?
He does not have amnesia. Regardless of recent changes, he is still primarily the same being as before. The situation has simply become more complex.
You did not ask a question, Miss Kirihana. Nor do I intend to act 'high and mighty' as you phrase it. I am simply a servant, and thus must represent the interests of those I serve.
He only did so in order to avoid capture. He would not be so frugal if he were allowed to do so freely.
More complex because now he has a degree of sympathetic nature to his actions. Before now, he tormented humans because he delighted in it. Now he also protects those he cares for. It does not change his sadistic nature.
Because you are attached to Erland, regardless of his nature. You are already partially terrified of him, and it seems cruel to inform you of his previous nature in detail in what could be his last week.
If one can safely rely on abilities that would make life easier, and one was naturally inclined towards ease, would it not follow that they would use such abilities?
No, it changes the fact that he is no longer always a sadist.
I do not judge based on existential age, Miss Kirihana. I myself have existed for longer than my mistress OR my Master, but I still dutifully serve them.
Such is what his eventual judgment will likely be based upon. Regardless, his defense of you can only serve to help his case, and he might get by with a plea bargain.
I apologize for your having to become involved in what is really an internal affair.

no subject
Date: 2007-10-24 08:03 am (UTC)In his current form, yes. That did interfere with the natural order, of course... which may condemn him, or may save him. I am unsure as to which.
no subject
Date: 2007-10-24 08:11 am (UTC)My father was going to destroy the natural order for the greater good by starting research for a massive Anti-Specialist massacre.
I'd say Erland's less guilty here.
no subject
Date: 2007-10-24 08:14 am (UTC)Only as of yet. Simply because he has fallen in love with a human, a clone at that, does not absolve him of his crimes, nor of his innate nature.

Date: 2007-10-24 08:22 am (UTC)True. But insert generic romance redemption laws this world uses, and I'd say he's on the good foot.
