To Bowl like a Man
Who: Ruri and Mordred
Where: The bowling alley
[So she woke up in some bowl o ramma place, Ruri was used to weird things here. The kind of fancy dress was a bit silly, but the place seemed empty despite being set up. At least there was food to be found but the silence]
"Hello? Is anyone here?"

I can't help but wish, but... if I had to choose, I would choose this. I've been granted what I truly wished for... Mother's love, friends, a true home, a chance to prove myself as a knight. I think that is why I accept it now.
[Smiles]
You've been part of that, Ruri.

Eh... I've never been called that before.

I'm not certain... Mother told me that in the future, we would kill each other. I cannot imagine that happening now, but... I have the capacity for great evil.

[Frowns, he's still bitter about that]
And then there is me... if I were to be sent home suddenly, would I return only to kill Mother?

I had never taken particular notice of intelligence... True, I was born with all the knowledge of Gaia, but what I hated about people was their greed and selfishness and cruelty. Even the poor and downtrodden can be greedy and cruel.
... I cannot even imagine it, but as angry as I was, I had not harboured such thoughts, either. I... cannot help but love my creator, but I'm afraid of what she would turn me into should I return.

[Pause, and it's a blow to his pride to admit this]
Well... that isn't completely true. I hated them for how I thought they would treat me. It's easier to be kind to those who are kind to me first. I dislike those who are not.

I'm sorry Mordred. I really am.

It's still a little humiliating to think about it, but it's all right now. She has accepted me, that is all I had ever wanted, even more than the throne.
no subject
[She nods a little]
no subject
[Oh wait, he did want to find out more about her, didn't he?]
But what about you, Ruri? What was your life like before you were summoned here?

Command of a battleship... that is most impressive for someone of your age. Our own navy is small, and the captains are nearly always old men.

[His failure still stings, but these days it's only just the failing itself rather than the burn of rejection. So there's progress]
How's the comic going?
It's going x_x
There are other homunculi like me, but... their purpose is different, though few magi of the latter eras coin us. Certainly not like me.
