[The idea of being out of control is something that Onni can imagine is terrible. Especially for a man who seems as in control of himself as Nikolai is, a leader and military man. When Nikolai meets his eyes and says that he'd rather be killed than prey on innocent people, Onni feels both a sinking feeling and an admiration for the other man. It's just a confirmation that he's someone who likes to be in control and values the lives of others over his own, and Onni can admire a person like that.
But on the subject of dying...]
I've been told death isn't permanent here, so that's something. If worst comes to worst and you can't be controlled, and I have to kill you, you'll come back. Or so I've been told. So we'll need to learn to control this, either way.
[The sinking feeling in his gut remains. Onni has never killed a person before, not someone who wasn't a troll. He's interacted with the dead, he's guided spirits home to Tuonela, but he's never killed a man, and the idea sits badly in his gut. The idea of doing it is repugnant, something he would never want to do, something he isn't sure he'd have the guts to do.
They'll have to keep this under control somehow.]
I hope it's weakened as well. It would only be fair, but this place is not exactly fair in how it treats us.
[Feeling suddenly exhausted, Onni lifts a hand and pushes it back through his hair, closing his eyes and sighing deeply. It has wings. That just makes it all the better, doesn't it?]
Alright. There are buildings with basements here, maybe a basement room would be best. And I'll ask the doctor about something to make you sleep. It might be good for you to get in touch with him as well. His name is Daan and his username is "loveless," I believe. You can find him by looking on the communication device.
[There seems to be so much to do, to think about now. They'll have to sort it out before the nighttime, before Nikolai has to sleep. Onni feels tired and there's a sick pit in his gut at the thought of all of this, what rides on it, and the dangers.]
It's fine.
[He says it a few moments after Nikolai says that he knows it's a lot to put on someone, that it doesn't have to be permanent.]
At home, I did protective and defensive spells for the place I lived. I can do a few of those as well.
