Cornyx Blackthorne


He shook his head a little and gave a soft, wry laugh that was more a release of tension than anything else. "W-well, it was my own fault, really."

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost."

She shakes her head. "Nope. I don't believe it was your fault that you didn't have home, just like it's not my fault ending up here." She gives him a warm smile, knowing that he's still likely to deny what she's saying. "You might have had a little bit to do with it, but, overall, it's just a really bad stroke of luck that you couldn't have done anything to change. Hating on yourself for it isn't ever going to help you feel better about it."

Cornyx Blackthorne


"Perhaps not, but it was my fault that I got myself in such a position in the first place and made the same mistake twice," he replied, pulling his glasses off and tucking them into his breast pocket. It was his fault he'd nearly killed them. His fault he'd turned his back on everything Evelyn had taught him. It was his fault that he'd let his demon loose, even if it only once ended in a mortality. And, more than anything else, it was his fault that he still fed it. Still let it live.

Darunia Vain


Frowning, she shakes her head again.

"Sometimes, things are out of our control, Cornyx," she says. She knows that it probably has something to do with his demonic heritage, and she just wishes he would stop hating himself for it as much as he is. "And even if you make a mistake once, it doesn't automatically mean that you'll never make that same mistake again. The world doesn't work like that. You're bound to repeat a couple of mistakes. Some might be bigger than others, but, at the end of the day, it's just a mistake. And you're trying your very best to prevent it from happening ever again, which is one of the most important things a person can ever do."

"Some mistakes are a lot more forgivable than others," he said simply with a slight shrug of his shoulders. A bit of frost was left on the rim of his glasses as his fingers left them.

"True," Runi admits, "but we're always tougher on ourselves than we are on others."

Darunia Vain


Yup, they aren't getting anywhere with this discussion. She wouldn't have pegged Cornyx to be the stubborn type, but he's definitely proving himself to be quite the stubborn demon. She can't begin to imagine what he's been through, but she's almost entirely certain that he's blaming himself for things that were entirely out of his control.

She sighs, sinks back into her chair, and decides that they need a change of topic.

"So, Cornyx," she starts, "what's your favorite color?"

Cornyx Blackthorne


He was, admittedly, a little surprised at the sudden change of subjects, but he took it in stride. "I know it sounds a bit goth, but I've honestly always been partial to black or gray," he chuckled. "Just...plain. Simple."

"Ah," Runi says. She really should have expected that, given his current outfit.

She leans back in her own chair and thinks for a moment. "I'd say purple is my favorite color. It's just so beautiful no matter what shade it is." Pointing up at her hair, she adds, "Which is why this looks the way it does."

"It's a fine hue," Cornyx agreed. "It's more subtle than some of the brighter colors but still brings emphasis to things, if that makes sense?"

She nods and gives him a big grin. "My thoughts exactly! I guess you and I really were destined to meet, Cornyx, if we can agree on something as important as that."

Now that they've gotten the color question out of the way, Runi needs another thing to ask him about. She sits there for a moment and thinks through her options. She doesn't want to make him upset, so she's going to have to stick to some pretty basic stuff.

She looks him over.

That's it! Keeping her grin on her face, she asks, "So are the clothes you're wearing part of your usual style, or is there another reason you have that outfit?" She gestures down at herself. "This is a typical Runi outfit right here, though there are a few bits and pieces I have to wear for my job."

He chuckled a little. "It's just what I wear. All I wear, really. I've been told it's too formal, but..." Cornyx shrugged. "What can I say? It is what it is."
