[personal profile] laserhawk 2025-03-26 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
What is your type of thing then?
abandonhumanity: (KznoBuyhm7zqrNN 31)

[personal profile] abandonhumanity 2025-03-26 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
I don't do very well with rest, and I don't like having a lot of free time. I prefer working.
laserhawk: (Infinite)

[personal profile] laserhawk 2025-03-26 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Don't like being alone with yourself?
abandonhumanity: (7)

[personal profile] abandonhumanity 2025-03-26 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh. Funny. He's trying to look through...]

I get bored.
laserhawk: (Edification Of The Fall)

[personal profile] laserhawk 2025-03-26 11:29 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty sure that's an easy fix, isn't it?

[ says man who has never had a chance at being bored. ]
abandonhumanity: (pixiv again 34)

[personal profile] abandonhumanity 2025-03-31 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Sure.

[He repeats himself:]

I prefer working.

[Aren't they supposed to be asking each other questions, anyway? Eren flips the next one over.]

A dirty secret of yours.
laserhawk: (Careful Shouting)

[personal profile] laserhawk 2025-03-31 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ a dirty secret? dolph blinks as he parses that. ]

Not sure I have any. Not sure I have secrets in general.
abandonhumanity: (36)

sorry for my slowness timmitas

[personal profile] abandonhumanity 2025-04-05 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Neither of us are very suited to these questions.

[He has plenty of secrets, but none of them--

[Well, perhaps one.]

There's a particular subordinate I used to fuck on occasion. I don't usually advertise that information.
laserhawk: (Throttle Up)

all good pancitas <3

[personal profile] laserhawk 2025-04-06 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Subordinate?

What do you do? Not sex wise, job wise.
abandonhumanity: (KznoBuyhm7zqrNN 34)

[personal profile] abandonhumanity 2025-04-06 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
A high-ranking official in my nation's military.

[Scandalous, no? He's only sort of lying.]

Don't mind me concealing my specific rank, considering the conversation.
laserhawk: (Edification Of The Fall)

[personal profile] laserhawk 2025-04-06 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ dolph waves this off. he could care less. ]

You care about them?
abandonhumanity: kruger (viii again 8)

[personal profile] abandonhumanity 2025-04-06 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
The subordinate?

[Eh. He wants to say no; probably could, and wouldn't really be lying...]

He's one of my comrades. I care about my people.
laserhawk: (Cheerleader Effect)

[personal profile] laserhawk 2025-04-06 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
That's rare. In an army.
abandonhumanity: kruger (108)

[personal profile] abandonhumanity 2025-04-07 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
You speak from experience?

[The armor on his face might have been a clue.]
laserhawk: (Awakening)

[personal profile] laserhawk 2025-04-07 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ dolph hesitates, reluctant. ]

Some. I was a child soldier. Rank was Captain.
abandonhumanity: (KznoBuyhm7zqrNN 31)

[personal profile] abandonhumanity 2025-04-07 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Mm. [Eren gives one slow nod.]

I joined the military when I was a child too. Most people do.
laserhawk: (To Numb The Pain)

[personal profile] laserhawk 2025-04-07 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Not at four. I hope.

It shouldn't be that way.
abandonhumanity: kruger (pixiv again 11)

[personal profile] abandonhumanity 2025-04-09 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Four. Even Eren recognizes it's grim. He gives Dolph's final statement the moment of weighted quiet it deserves, then nods.]

You're right about that.

It is that way, though. Four is young where I grew up, but across the sea, I've heard talk of children joining as early as six.

War is waged on the backs of children. It's an ugly truth.

[Weren't they just talking about sex?]
laserhawk: (The Nights)

[personal profile] laserhawk 2025-04-10 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ he nods. ]

Still. It shouldn't be that way.

[ ugly, truthful, whatever word people want to give. it shouldn't exist. ]
abandonhumanity: (31)

[personal profile] abandonhumanity 2025-04-10 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe not.

Then again, maybe it has to be that way.
laserhawk: (Piece Of Future)

[personal profile] laserhawk 2025-04-11 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
I'm going to regret asking but . . . why?
abandonhumanity: (sonea 24)

cw: horrifying takes on child soldiers

[personal profile] abandonhumanity 2025-04-11 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Eren thinks he can sense his companion's agitation growing, and he isn't surprised. It's an agitating suggestion. He remains calm as he explains, though voice even, unbothered.]

It's the way the world works. It's the way the world has always worked. We've never known another way.

Even if it shouldn't be that way, how would we operate without? The militaries built on the backs of those children would crumble, and so, too, would the nations they protect.
laserhawk: (Testarossa Autodrive)

[personal profile] laserhawk 2025-04-11 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Putting aside the fact that other places definitely survive just fine without child soldiers . . .

Do you want a world like that?
abandonhumanity: kruger (7B)

[personal profile] abandonhumanity 2025-04-11 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Not at all. I think...

A world like that is a world that deserves to be destroyed.
laserhawk: (Danger 6-24)

[personal profile] laserhawk 2025-04-11 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ he nods, though a flicker runs through his expression. alex's words ring like a bell. could dolph do it? maybe. maybe if alex had asked. maybe if it was framed differently. he would have burned the world for alex.

wouldn't he? ]


No one needs a world like that.
