[ she's valid and i love this for her. she's doing great.
the awkwardness makes him smile further, mouth curling up at the corners, and bixing pushes his hands into his pockets and fishes around for a cigarette, just for something to do with his hands. ]
I think that's the case. [ truthfully, he's wanted to talk to harrow about it, but someone said that might be a bad idea, so when she brings it up, he's maybe a little relieved. just a little. ] You'll be welcomed with full diplomatic honors, the both of you. And... if there's any resource at all that we can lend you, Harrow, the strength of the entire Eighth Galaxy is at your fingertips. Whatever you want or need is yours, in formality or otherwise.
[ even if that's just a safe, quiet place to rest, or even if perhaps a place to grow. it's neither here nor there. ]
[yeah. she hasn't wanted to talk about it or even find out anything about it, because this is only possible with the excuse gideon gave her that it's temporary.]
...I see. I appreciate that. I don't think you have many resources relating to necromancy, but I have always been self taught.
[...]
I don't know where you live. Is it a space station, or are there planetary colonies? [necromancy doesn't really work well in space so she has one concern.]
No, not many, but we have a lot of science, and from what I've heard, your world does, too. We might be able to make a little symphony. We'll see.
[ as for the second question; ] Planetary colonies is one way to put it, yes. There are [ a number goes here but priest didn't give me one so just assume there's a number ] planets in the Eighth that are currently inhabited, each with its own infrastructure and construction. I live on the capitol planet, Qiming, in a place called Milky Way City - in terms of its civilization, it's actually not all that different from the city island here, if more advanced. [ a pause. ]
And less hot, and with no demons. Otherwise, the population size and the feel is relatively similar. It's - Milky Way City is a nice place to live. I know I'm biased, but I love it there. It's safe, too.
[whew. she's relieved; wouldn't be out of the question based on TLT if most people lived on space stations. anyway she doesn't really know shit about science and also a lot of the science in TLT is necromancy powered so we'll see.......]
[ considering what he's seen and heard of the ninth, it's not really surprising. bone nun land... ]
The residential district is much quieter than the main city, so in terms of living arrangements, it should be a little more comfortable. And, if there's anything I can do for either of you to make sure it stays that way, just let me know, and I'll consider it done. I already drew up the paperwork to get a visa for you so there'll be no questions.
[ ... ]
Can I ask - what happens, after you defeat this Cytherea? What's the plan?
...The Ninth House is dying. We need intercession to survive. Most of our population is aging, and we haven't had a new birth on the planet since mine. No other necromancers besides me, either, and, for obvious reasons, no children, hardly anyone of child bearing age.
We need more resources, more population, and more necromancers, or we won't last. My plan has always been to find a way to draw the Emperor's notice, and to plead our case. The other Houses have the power to help us, but I never wanted to rely on that; it's the sort of assistance that comes with strings attached. I think now there are other methods I could attempt other than that.
But eventually, one day, I'll need to go back there, once I have the ability to do something for them, and lead them through whatever it is I attempt.
