“I don’t remember that,” Tina frowned.

(I though Megan was the great grand child)

“What happened?” Tina asked.

"Alright?" Troy replied, not getting any sort of answer from that.

"Then you don't get to learn our methods at all." Kyranos replied.

"Respect is paramount to his teachings, if you can't provide the due respect to an esteemed teacher then he's right, there's nothing for you to learn from us." Balkan agreed.

Tina crossed her arms. “And that’s why she fights non lethal,” she said, frowning.

(Why not a fucking dull blade ya dingus)
"Uhh, sure, I can try. Not a big chance I'll run into either one of the nocturnes again though. What do you get out of this, exactly? Seems like you'd do a much better job hunting them down than I." Troy asked.

"What constitutes deserving respect? A light shining on you in the history books? Or the deeds that you do, and the trials you face in life?" Balkan asked. "What is the difference between I and master Kyranos? I was a slave with a dellusion of freedom, that made it reality by pushing my mind and body to their very limits. Master Kyranos had his life stolen from him for who he loved, doomed to fight for his life until the day he made one fatal mistake. It was by his determination and drive that he survived. We both deposed the corrupt in our journey, the only true difference between us being which direction we bent to avoid breaking. I bent toward hopes with little chance of coming true, he adapted to not only survive, but thrive in a vile environment. He may not be a good man, but he is not evil for the sake of being evil. No evil exists without the belief they are right, and to that end I believe he is not truly evil, just irreparably bent by the world he was forced into." Balkan lectured.

"Why go through so much when she could fight with a dull blade?" Tina asked.

(Dull blades don't weigh any less though? In fact they'd weigh minuscule amounts more since you don't have to work it down to a sharp degree on occasion. A reverse blade has to worry about breaking easier since the flat edge will be taking more impact due to its spread, while the sharp side can't take the hit due to lack of mass to soak up the impact. And since the blade is facing you, if it breaks it's burying itself in your body instead of bouncing off. There's a reason no one actually lauds anime meme sword as a good idea in practice lol)
(Also the kyranos part is fine except for all the hesitation he wouldn't show in the slightest)
"I still have zero clue how me shielding a couple of people broke your cell apparently, I didn't break anything." Troy replied, convinced now this guy was just bullshitting him.

"Then a lot of people would have died." Kyranos finished his statement. "The cruel tyrant you know me as would've been nothing in comparison to the wrathful result that would've been born from letting her live a life of suffering."

"That still doesn't explain the relevancy of me capturing a few people in a specific spot. Sounds like xiluhr saved you, not me." Troy replied.

"No, you can't." Kyranos stated.

"That she does" He sighed "But, then again, I admire how much she stuck to her guns even when it was hard."

Orochi sighed and walked away from them, now feeling guilty.

"Simple, that spot, one little scream of rage, conflicting magic, and boom..." Bathos explained "And you would be more willing to crush the gods more than Xiluhr. I can even guarantee her defeat"

“I guess,” Tina said. It seemed her grandson had it handled, so Tina waved, glancing at Megan once more, before disappearing.

"Gotcha." Troy replied, pocketing the rune instead of putting it inside of his pocket dimension. He didn't want this guy having any knowledge regarding his pocket dimension.

"Hrm, deal with that later." Troy got back on his horse, setting off once more.

(TS?)
