[ even in war there is time for philosophy. maybe. Kaworu comes to the video, smiling. He is sitting in his room; on the walls, there are MANY photos of many different people he has met while in Asgard. In his lap there is Zadkiel, an adult orange cat, who is purring loudly (surprisingly, because this cat is the devil) ]

Of all the things you have learned through your life, which is the one you praise the most, the one you think of the most about, the one you are most glad to have learned, met or seen? And why?

[ and because he learned it's better to answer your own questions in order to help others answer, Kaworu will do exactly that ]

I'd say mine is rain. Since this body was created, I have lived inside a laboratory and I was not allowed contact with the outside world. When I first arrived to Asgard, it was around this time of the year and it rained. It was the first time I had seen and felt it, during an afternoon when I shared with someone who is no longer in this world. I suppose that's why I came to love it. Rain reminds me of him. Rain reminds me of many things, and each is very dear to me. [ his hand reaches to pet the cat's head as he looks down at him ]

Ever since I arrived, I was allowed to learn much and see much. I was allowed contact with others, and I was allowed to learn about others. [ yes, "allowed". Because before, he was more of a labrat, not allowed much.

He smiles softly and after he turns to the bracelet again ]

I'm very glad for the time I have spent here. And I thank you for it. I thank you for all that you showed me and taught me, and I thank you for being there. It made this extra time I was allowed much more meaningful.

[ and he is talking about himself which is weird for those who know him, but the war is ending and it's time ]

[ Booker isn't all too sure how the hell to answer this question. Especially with the complexity following the initial answer of rain.

His focus soon dwindles to the name of the broadcaster and he tries his best to pronounce it in his head.

It was a significant five minutes of procrastination all together before he finally responds. ]

I reckon the most important lesson I can think of is people have all sorts of ways of speaking their meaning and not all of 'em speak cohesively with their actions.

[ oh, new person! kaworu never seen their name before ]

Do you think that is a bad thing?

[livedtwice]

Hello again, Kaworu. Still asking questions like this, then?

[Harry has an answer. Of course he does, but he's going to save it for after the greetings process.]

video.

[5thchild]

Hello, Harry. Welcome back.

How have you been?

[Video]

[splendid_solitude]

Are all Angels fond of asking probing question like this, or is it just you, Kaworu?

[Asuka's tone bordered on sarcasm, she may not have been able to do anything about the situation but somehow talking like this at least helped her state of mind.]

[Video]

[5thchild]

None of my siblings had the chance to directly interact with Lilin. Though I doubt they'd be able to hold a conversation like this.

But if you find my questions distasteful, you do not have to answer them.

[thoughts]

Dancing.

[ her answer is immediate, but she looks a little dazed, like she might still be processing. after a second, she adds with a smile and finally looking directly at kaworu in the feed: ]

Dancing in the rain.

[5thchild]

Dancing in the rain? [ Kaworu has danced once before. But with another person, during a ball ]

Why do you enjoy it so much?

voice;

[littlesurvivor]

I'm....not sure. The person I'm most glad I met would probably be Lee. He is the reason I'm still alive. He taught me how to survive. How to shoot. He saved me so many times.

[But then. That's something nearly everyone knows. Hardly the first time she's talked about him after all. But that doesn't make it any less true. Lee took care of her. Got bit because of her. And in the end, he did keep that promise to help her find her parents.]

I guess I'm too used to being outside in the rain back home to appreciate it the same way you do though. 'Extra time'?

[She guesses that makes Kaworu another one that is supposed to be dead back home?]

voice;

[5thchild]

[ Kaworu hums ] I'm glad he was there for you, Clementine. And though you do not appreciate rain the same way I do, you have had the chance to see so much. It's something to be glad for, as well.

And I mean that am I dead.

[Minato's filled with mixed feelings. It's the first time he's heard Kaworu speak about himself like that. And what he says reminds him of a certain dear person of his who's no longer here.]

I'm glad I met you too.

[5thchild]

How have you been, Minato?

[fire_punk]

Maglor. [He fumbles for words. This isn't something that's easy for him to ut words to. But he finds he wants to.] He's... He's Ada.

And Alice, I guess.

[5thchild]

What is "ada"?

audio

[sestra]

I learned I have a sister.

[5thchild]

Why is it so important to you?

Video

[alternia_strength]

Hmmm. I would worry that you were being too contemplative for once, Kaworu, but then I would remember who I am speaking to, and recognize that you are by nature a contemplative creature. [Have a grunt and a sigh.]

I am unsure what I would say is the single most important thing I have learned, here or at home. It is too much a cumulation of things.

Video

[5thchild]

Is it bothersome?

Are you pleased with all you have learned, Equius?

Audio

[snugglesjugs]

For me it the fact that I had homeland and parents.

Audio

[5thchild]

Why is it so important?

oh fine screw hiatus

[bythewaves]

I think you know this one, istyar, for we have spoken of it before hm?

'Hope' - although my folk would say 'Estel' - which... the translation is not... quite exact, but it is close enough.

(8 yes good

[5thchild]

Yes, we have.

Have you found more to hope for ever since, Maglor?

[amanwhodrinkstea]

Interesting approach to being kidnapped and brought 'ere.

[Video]

[5thchild]

it's a matter of point of view, I suppose.

audio

[afrozendance]

.... I will never forget how kind you and Shinji have been to me as well. So I thank you as well, Kaworu, and I'm sure many travellers and natives are thankful to you too.

audio

[5thchild]

There is nothing to thank me for. Everything I did and do is because I love you.

How have you been, Ninian?

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

That's a very difficult question to ask someone who's lived a long time.

[ But he thinks he knows the answer. ]

Humanity, I suppose.

[Video]

[5thchild]

[ he smiles. kaworu likes that answer ]

Why?
