[The grin softens back into a smile again as Hunter goes on. It sounds like he's figured himself out after getting away from Belos, coming here - how long has Hunter been here, anyway? Regardless, he's got a better idea of who he is, now that he doesn't have to be the Golden Guard. Good.]
[The smile stops reaching his eyes, for just a second, when Hunter extends that offer to him.]
[Hunter can be a civilian, can choose what he wants to be, because he's not a homunculus - not the way Huvrye is. He's a Grimwalker, but he was made to be a person - odds are he even has a soul. Huvrye is government property, a soulless weapon made for an unending war, and that's all he'll ever be. Much as he likes people here treating him like a person, he'll never actually be one - it's all just a pretty lie.]
[(He has too much blood on his hands as it is to ever be anything but a weapon.)]
[Hunter is wrong, but Huvrye can't bring himself to dash the kid's hopes.]
Yeah? I'll have to think about that.
[Aaaaaand sidestepped.]
And have you figured out what you want to be yet, Mister Civilian?
