01. Primus | Video

[Kaworu comes to the screen with a kind and gentle smile.]

Hello. I'm looking for a piano or a violin. I'm not sure where I can find one; not to buy - I simply wish to play for a while.

[and now that is out of the way, he wishes to ask something else]

I do have another question. Are you happy?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Yes, there is something I miss greatly and because of it I feel pain.

However, there is also something I love greatly, that is here; for that, i am very happy.

[Ah...

His face smooths a little at that. Gentle-sober.]

Something you love?

Actually, it's two.

A person that I love, and the Lilim. Humans.

[—ah.

He—

(Oh.)

Blinking rapidly for a moment, there's a great many shifting, quiet flickers of expression before he finds his tongue; considers that.]

...You don't consider yourself human?

[It's soft, and slowly said like he's remembering something a little haunting.]

I'm not human, no.

[Aha—]

You seem very human to me. [Not contrary, just a (quip) statement.]

This body is human, technically. [ only the body ]

[He pauses a little at that, but—]

Loving is human, too. [Gentle certainty.]

Not exclusively.

[He's a little quiet at that. Like he's considering asking something—but holds his tongue.]

...I'm Allen. Allen Walker.

[Because it seems strange to him to talk about such personal, such important things without even (actually) exchanging names. It feels too impersonal.]

You're... [The name on the screen—] Kaworu?

Kaworu Nagisa. It's nice to meet you, Allen.

Mm. [Nice to meet you.

—a blink and then another blink.]

There's a theatre in the city. [It's not so out of blue as it sounds, or at least he doesn't mean it that way. Before, the first thing Kaworu had asked—] If you're still looking for somewhere to play. It's called Draupnir, I think.

[Aha—]

I don't know if they'd let you use them, but it might be a good place to start. [Needless to say, Allen's own issues with the piano and playing it...

He hadn't asked. And had forgotten about it mostly until now.]

I was told about it. Thank you.

[A slight nod. There's something a little off about Kaworu—not in a bad way—and it keeps giving him pause.

Loving humans.] The things you love—

[pause again. even Allen finds it weird how he wants to ask]

They're things you want to protect?

[—it might be that it sounds so familiar.]

Yes. I have before and I still will.

I will protect them with my life, if I must.

[Ah...

He knows better, no one who isn't associated even usually knows what one actually is, but—]

Are you like an Exorcist? [Softer spoken.]

I'm sorry, I don't know what that is.

[Aha...

(Strange. He almost feels a little crestfallen.)]

That's alright. Most people don't. [Not really, at least.]

What are they?

[Ah...]

—they're chosen by something called Innocence. It's— [er]

[...]

[His eyes drop for a second like he's looking at his hands and his expression smooths. (A smile.) Voice softer and more serious, a clear sort of tenor.]

It's... a special power. I guess you could say it's like the ones they give us here. Except— [except that rests very uneasily on his tongue] —it's more like a bond. To protect people with.

We fight creatures called akuma with it and save their souls. [Ah—] Human souls that have been twisted.

[Softer, but not sadly:] Back home, at least. It's a little different here.

Aha.

Such didn't exist in my world.

[Ehe.]

It's not a common thing, no.

Do you like it? Your power?
