005. Voice | April 6, evening

Londo Mollari was killed during the attack.

I'd like to cremate his remains in order to perform a Wind Ceremony.

At this point, I no longer expect them to.

What do you expect?

From the humans?

Nothing.

[That tone is pretty cold. Clover's beginning to realize how lucky she is that she bothered contacting the network at all about Londo's death, considering how many humans like herself there were in the city.

. . . But she already thanked her earlier. So she simply continues, her curiosity unending.]

What about revenge . . . ?

[ eh. ] Against the whole race? [ well. Yes. And it's what she wants. But Demona really can't say it, can she? ]

No. Not revenge. The ones who killed my kind died long ago, anyway. All I want is to live and not be bothered by humans.

And, actually, the humans are quite capable of killing themselves without having one of the very few last gargoyles risking her life in a pointless revenge. First World War, the Second, all of the wars going on; it's like they crave for their own destruction.

[. . . Why not? Clover certainly wouldn't hold it against her. She'd fight everyone on the entire stupid planet if it meant getting to see her brother again-- and she's gone through extraordinary lengths to get revenge on those who killed him.

At least, those who she believed killed him, at the time.

She still has no idea quite what to think about that, but either way, Demona brings up a good point-- even if those wars did happen so long ago. She laughs.]

You're right. I guess you don't really need to.

[They do enough damage to themselves. She pauses a bit, taking a breath before continuing:]

Though if we were all like that, we would've died out right along with you.

[Probably.]

[ it's taking too long. Demona wants to give them a hand. Still. ]

Who knows what the future will bring? I suppose we will wait and see.

[Clover easily nods at that. There isn't much else to do, is there? Except wait.]

Yeah . . . we will.

[Even here in Death City. She doesn't really have much else to say, though, so-- she stays silent for a moment. And unless Demona suddenly remembered something she neglected to mention, Clover won't keep her.]

Thanks again.

[For the information about Londo, his "wind ceremony"-- for the conversation.]
