[RL with Wesker (and Lancer probably) - no of course you weren't going to kill me, right?]

[The temple had a policy that had been there since the very begining. It was so ancient that it defined the way their bounded field worked - that anyone who came in through the front gate was to be allowed entrance.

In this case, although Issei despised Wesker more than most anyone else in any world, he couldn't possibly turn him away if he came for tea.

He poured two cups and waited in the living area near the front of the temple. If Wesker hadn't come for tea, it would be Diarmuid's job to intercept him.]

The former is correct. The latter... well, I do have standards.

[unknownrival]

However low they may be.

[tyranngott]

Every time we start to get along, you just have to infect it with your negativity. I'm disappointed.

[unknownrival]

Forgive me for not getting my hopes up.

[tyranngott]

Not even for William's sake? That's quite the turnaround.

[unknownrival]

Never enter a relationship expecting people to change,

[tyranngott]

Are we already in a relationship? My, we're doing better already.

[unknownrival]

We've passed acquaintances.

[tyranngott]

How flattering.

[unknownrival]

It's really not.

[tyranngott]

Isn't it?

[unknownrival]

Having met me doesn't automatically make you a good person. If it did zi would travel more.

[tyranngott]

Oh, I could care less about being a good person. You are friends with Birkin, after all.

[unknownrival]

And that means?

[tyranngott]

William Birkin is responsible for the destruction of an entire city, and all of those within it. He is the farthest thing from a good person--yet you defend him valiantly. That tells me you care very little for morality.

[unknownrival]

There are certainly far worse and more wicked people than William, even if there are better. Don't try to sway me.

[tyranngott]

For a monk, you seem very inclined to look past the sins of people you favor. I'd advise you to tread more carefully in the future, if you wish to sling accusations. [He rises to his feet smoothly.]

[unknownrival]

I'd explain the fundamentals of Buddhism to you but I think it would be better if we ended our conversation here.

[tyranngott]

So Birkin will reborn as something much lower. I see. [Turning on his heel and striding out of the temple, on that note.]
