Venomous Death [Algos/Ulv]

"I can be thrice as foul as your mother for no reason other than because I fucking hate humans. Everywhere they step is a big pile of shit that they have thrown at another human because he has yellow berries and I have slightly less yellow berries so lets go fucking murder him. I hate the lot of them and I wish they would all just fucking cease existing and go away.

But I don't be as foul as your mother. And nor do you. Ability isn't a guarantee. You can, yes, but chances are you won't. You are, as you say, yourself" Ulv would, seeing the strange comfort - though, when you lived in a world like Algos', maybe The World Of Fire was more comfortable than terrifying. Or maybe the terror was a delight when put against what else she had to deal with. Demons were weird.

"I say you don't even rate a sidebar. We lost eighteen people when you arrived. Half of them didn't believe the rain was actually acid rain, the other half thought their parasol was sufficient protection from the storm. I didn't even get to talk to you, best I did was comfort Ania while everyone else dealt with you. As disruption goes, we were back to full productivity the next day"

Stroking Algos' hair, Ulv would sigh and think back to the time that she was about to talk about. It was still raw, and lava was still a sore spot for her, though no quite as bad as it was in Beijing.
"For worst disaster of the war, you need to look to Oda Tatsuya. Guy dropped a volcano on a civilian city, killing eight hundred people, severely wounding and displacing thousands, and destroying Jefferson City. There is debate if it should be repaired or left as a monument to the people that died there. You lost your head in a moment of passion and are learning from those mistakes. Resolving to never make them again. Tatsuya didn't give a crap what had happened and let the same thing happen again at the next moment it could.

You have not failed. The only failure is the one do not rectify. And you, have put in all possible effort to recover and repair. That, Algos, is the sign of a beautiful woman. One who will accept and acknowledge a mistake, and work to fix them. You'll never get through life perfectly, but you will get through life so much better, fixing as you go. That is why I am not worried for your motherhood. Because you love deeply, care even if it is for your own sake - you'll be surprised how much any kind of compassion matters, regardless of the reason - and you try to fix what you have broken"

"I meant your attack on Minatumi, relative to the rest of the War. Not you in general. You in general are a beautiful, powerful, passionate woman anyone would be lucky to have the affections of. I would never wish to compete with Calypso, and would forever know she is superior to me in your heart. But you need someone. Everyone will lose you if you linger in the past, and you are far too important to be lost like that" Ulv told her. And then, Algos hit the nail on the head, thinking Ulv was a sociopath.

"Something like that. I definitely don't feel the same way normal people do. My mind is scoured of true emotion, all I have is what I can mimic and mirror. I have to balance passion beyond ken with rage beyond cohesion. The two scrap and sheer, and what is left at the end of it, but me. A strange thing. But don't worry about being burned, dear. Fondness for anyone only brings me hell. If people want to come and complain that I have you as my friend, then I will explain to them what the fuck Neutrality means"

Ulv scowled at the idea of someone getting upitiy for Ulv having Demon friends when the Demons never got upity for Ulv's connections to their opposing forces. Then, she let out a laugh.

"Though, honestly. I was suggesting you could impregnate me. Mostly, because I have no way to impregnate you and I can give birth in a month to a baby who matures to a child in another month. No idea about gestation and maturity of Demons, but the first issue stands, if the second does not"

"I'll stick my neck out for any who need it, Algos" Ulv replied. And then there was a cute kiss on the cheek. Man, every part of this thing was just exactly what Ulv wanted. Fire and fury was all well and good, but sometimes she wanted those smaller times of passion. And Rakki could never handle Ulv, so that relationship was doomed. And outside of that, she never had any true connection. Any true, soft, intimacy like this. If Ulv was a lesser woman, she'd probably break down into tears.

"Ohh, I'm full of arrows~" Instead, she made a pun. But then Algos started spluttering on her drink, which raised an interesting question. Could she even choke? Something to experiment with in the bedroom - no, stop that Ulv.

"How else did you expect it to happen? I'm not exactly Prometheus, you know! I can't make a child other than by getting pregnant and giving birth to them. Getting Pregnant is kind of one of those things there is only one reason to do it"
