You're a dragon. What could harm you?

If we did, you wouldn't be imitating us but the other way around I expect.

[nilhilistic]

I said discomfort, not pain. Eating ice-cream as a dragon is annoying.

Dragons imparted a great deal on humans. It's why we are worshipped. Having a human form has nothing to do with humans themselves. It is simply a part of us.

I am a still a dragon, even now.

[conflictresolution]

I wouldn't know. I don't eat such things.

Is that so? Are you worshipped here?

[nilhilistic]

What do you eat then?

Not here. But on plenty of worlds, certainly.

[conflictresolution]

Not much, but what I do is generally seafood.

Do you want to be worshipped here?

[nilhilistic]

Now imagine the quantity and cooking needed to feed a dragon.

No. The worship and adulation of humans doesn't mean anything to me.

[conflictresolution]

I obviously falsely assumed you would fly around and feed yourself.

What does mean something to you?

[nilhilistic]

Again, it is much easier to feed a human than it is to feed a dragon. I get more out of it this way.

. . . Why do you want to know?

[conflictresolution]

Fair enough. We will let that sleeping dragon lie then.

Curiosity. Why are you evading?

[nilhilistic]

It is a rather personal question. Evasion is normal.

[conflictresolution]

Many people want to know what motivates another. It can breathe life into alliances if goals are similar.

[nilhilistic]

. . . I am only here to atone. I have no interest in possessing personal motivations anymore.

[conflictresolution]

Is that all? You sound like a depressed teenager.

[nilhilistic]

Depressed teenagers don't wipe out worlds.

It is my oath. I take it seriously.

[conflictresolution]

Why did you wipe out worlds?

[nilhilistic]

It was in the way. I needed power and I had to rid myself of humanity to gain it.

[ this is true. it's not the whole truth, but it is true. ]

[conflictresolution]

I see. I appreciate your candor.

[He can respect this requirement to gain power.]

[nilhilistic]

I have no reason to deny or hide it.

[ he does feel guilty about it. at times. but that's different. ]

[conflictresolution]

Most don't admit to genocide readily I have found.

[nilhilistic]

Those people are weak.

It does not cost me anything to admit what I've done.

[conflictresolution]

Well, few of the general populous enjoy getting behind genocidal authoritarians.

Perhaps future alliances. That is assuming that you need them at all.

[nilhilistic]

[ hm. ]

Need them for what? I assume, regardless of . . . feelings, everyone wishes to leave this place. No one wants to be ruled by some distant overlords.

[conflictresolution]

I do not wish to leave, nor will I allow myself to be ruled by anyone.

[nilhilistic]

You wish to stay here? Why?

[conflictresolution]

I'm dead back home. This is all that is left.
