[Oh. Wars. So he's from a world that's sort of war torn and shit...? Stuff that he's seen in media, read in books, but never really experienced, at least definitely not to the point where things are completely fucked up. Well, maybe that might happen with the US and the Soviets at some point, but hopefully not. That would suck shit.
At least it gets better for Sephiroth...? He's not even confused about the idea of Sephiroth knowing something like that. Although... he's speaking like he personally has to fight in these wars despite being around his age. What the hell is that about? It seems to feel that way, especially since the regular missions they have here doesn't bother him at all.]
So... you were in a war before you came here? Were you always in a war?
[It's better to not experience it. There's no honor or glory, no matter what the posters said.]
Not exactly. I've been fighting since I was small, but the actual war is newer. You know how it is. One nation decides they want to build things on another nation's territory, and they have a discussion with lots of guns over who's right.
[That's not how he might have phrased that a year ago. But what would Shinra do? What could it do here?]
We're fighting here often too, but it's for a better purpose. And there's a lot more interesting things going on than the next battlefield or town to erase or monster to kill. This right here, wouldn't be allowed.
[Uhhhhhh so none of this sounds okay?? Even if he wasn't in an actual war until recently, he's still like his age in a full on battlefield now. And before than he still had to fight in who knows what...
Scott frowns directly at him-- at the french fries, though none of his actual anger is directed at Sephiroth.]
Okay, going to state this now, your world sounds fucked up. [Even coming from a place where nuclear war might happen--] At least whoever is using you to fight for them. Like what the hell?? Not to mention preventing you from eating french fries? Sounds like a dictatorship.
