It needn't go so far as to be philosophical. I wish to learn more about you.
[ she is capable of letting a conversation move on. she's not her brother. ]
I've learned more and more how people survive or live in dreams and come to think about how much of it is truly living, but... at the same time, perhaps birds fly into the sky because it is their dream—or their irrevocable right.
You could see it that way, but I think that anyone has the right to pursue what they want and to overcome what holds them back with their own abilities and their own will.
[ their answer is also simple... diametrically opposed ]
What do you think of the people who will never be able to help themselves with their own power? Whether because of their circumstances or their shortcomings?
They should be offered a hand, a chance to use their wings. People should be helped and saved. It may not always be possible, but that doesn't mean no one should try.
It's an annoyance, because it's unnecessary. It will not earn you any better treatment than others.
[ is there a tattoo for also being annoying, famine needs that one ]
And if they grow dependent on that assistance? Or if the person who offers the hand seeks to hold that power over the person they are helping, manipulating them?
I do not need or care for better treatment from you.
[ famine will never be more annoying than the paparazzi. ]
The strong can exploit the weak, as much as they can help them. Not every circumstance will end in some perfect scenario, but people can learn and they can evolve. Everyone has potential. One or three or five bad turns doesn't end a story.
You have to wake up from dreams in order to live. Reality... doesn't change simply because you dream.
Even if one person who is helped still stumbles and falls, another person who is helped can spread their wings and fly. I'd like to take that chance, every time.
I disagree. My hope does not mean I'm unaware of my predicament. I know I was brought here to die, but you are here because you don't want us to die, aren't you?
Are we in a situation that we can expect more from you three, Famine? Is there more than casting your rituals and veils and asking for items that won't raise suspicions?
[ it's curiosity more than anything else. she doesn't expect a real answer. ]
[ she smiles. she thinks there's a certain kindness in what they're trying to say, but it's also a little funny to her, considering the betrayal she experienced before coming here. ]

Why do birds fly towards the sky, if they are destined to fall back towards the ground?
[ her answers to these questions are answers to their questions. ]
no subject
And while this is only a guess, birds will get eaten if grounded since they're such easy targets in the food chain.

You're the logical sort, aren't you?
no subject
[ instead of spending four patches answering... ]
Why? What are your answers?

[ ? ]
Is this an analogy about human rights?

[ it's that simple. she wants to understand. ]

... as long as your head isn't empty, aside from being full of dreams.

Will you be talking in metaphors the entire time.
no subject
I could talk in song instead.
no subject
I suppose I haven't heard a song in some time.
All the same, this sense of optimism feels misplaced in a situation where you've been summoned only to be sacrificed.
no subject
That's something to be hopeful about.
no subject
Used to low standards?
no subject
I am used to a great many things, but that doesn't mean I tolerate them all.

I do wish that you all would expect more than simply accepting 'you don't want us to die'.

[ this conversation is going in circles. though at least famine realizes that and pauses, weighing their words as they cross their arms ]
I find your willingness to give us the benefit of the doubt off-putting. Don't get that goodwill taken advantage of.
[ there we go ]
no subject
Thank you for your wish. I will carry it with me.
[ it's something she can grant, at least. ]
no subject
Has anyone ever suggested to you that you're too nice?
[ though it's not a harsh tone. merely a curious one ]
