[ That's really heartbreaking. He hadn't known Kurapika came from a background like that, where he'd lost so many people in his ... bloodline, he assumes. All over perceived value on something that they didn't ask to be born with. ]
I'm sorry. That's still unfathomable. But...somehow, that explains a lot about you being as focused and driven as you are.
His shoulders immediately relax, the sudden tension that was in his body dissipating. ]
Alright. I'll accept that. [ He pauses. ] However, if a situation does turn around and someone needs to die... let me deliver that blow on your behalf.

[ But revenge is a poisonous thing, isn't it? ]
My goals are to get back what was taken from my people, and to kill those that perpetrated that crime.

Yeah. I can understand that.

...Killing hurts. The smell of blood, the sound of bones being broken, the feeling of it on my hands... I don't like it.
[ His eyes drift back to Yamato. ]
It makes me feel ill.
no subject
[ Killing sucks, actually! Wow. ]
I hope you don't have to do it here.
[ ...much, anyway. ]
no subject
[ He really, really doesn't like it. ]
I won't kill a human or a wizard, if I can help it.

[ But if Kurapika has to, Yamato is sure he'd have a good reason for it, soooo. ]
I'll keep that in mind, just in case we get in a tricky situation together.

[ He won't like it and it will destroy another little piece of him, but it would destroy more of Yamato, he's sure. ]
no subject
[ Ideally, neither of them will have to. ]
