"Literally, yea. If my body is stronger, it can handle M'Lady Queen's power and it won't cause me to try to explode every so often. This is fortunately a very simple problem, a problem that doesn't need more thought, just action. Yours seem less simple"
She would take a few steps and then crouch down and punch the ground with considerable force. It smashed into the floor and blew a divet in the hole, from which she pulled put a glimmering shard of metal.
"There was once a man called Shaka Nyorai. Power beyond comprehension, enlightened beyond understanding. His presence enforced an era of peace known as the Golden Age of Wulin. Along with five of the greatest warriors - The Spiritual Lords - they reigned over all of Asia and ensured that a hundred thousand martial clans all kept themselves in line and behaved according to the rules of honour and duty" blowing the dust off the shimmer of metal, she'd stand up and hand it to him. It was not a metal he had ever seen before, as it seemed to shimmer and move slightly as he held it.
"Do you know how long that lasted after he disappeared one day?"

NENKA FOTIA
Nenka listened attentively to Calypso's story, still very concerned about her despite his expression softening a bit. He didn't really hear of this folklore before, so this was new to him. The conclusion seemed obvious; it all fell apart really quickly after that powerful man disappeared. It didn't take a genius to put the pieces together there.
"It probably all went to hell really quickly right? I guess i'll just make sure not to disappear when I reach the top then!"
He smiled at her confidently. He wanted to try and lighten the mood after that unfortunate turn of events. Nenka didn't truly believe he'd ever be the strongest around, but he wanted to at least appear like he has the confidence to follow through on his ideals and pursue what he must in order to fulfil them. Even if he was the strongest, uniting everyone under a peaceful banner would be a fantasy. With so many different races of people and many differing cultures.. was such a thing even possible? Oh well, beyond the scope of Nenka's philosophy; he just wanted to be the hero that helps people.

"A week. A week is all it took to unravel a thousand years of peace and prosperity. To bring the cowardly and conniving out of the holes and shadows they had hid in and back into the light. Because Evil, never dies. It merely hides, and waits. That shard you are holding is one of the innumerable shards of Demon-Smiting Warlord, a Warstrider brought out in the Great Collapse to exert it's dominance over the land through pure force of arm, as it was in the Age of Might.
Sun Wukong and Xuanzang Sanzang fought together against it and destroyed it with such power that it explodes into so many pieces you can still find them across Asia, even thousands of years into the future. There are many tales of heroism and glory in the Great Collapse, but none of them mattered. Everyone died or left in the end, good or evil"
She'd shake her head and look back to Nenka with a soft, sad face.
"Most of the triumphs and tragedies of humanity are not caused by people being fundamentally good or fundamentally bad, but by being fundamentally people. You try to push them along a path you want them to go down, and they will be right back on it when you leave. Because you will, nothing you can do will stop that inevitability. So don't pursue such lofty goals. Bring them ground level, and help everyone within your grasp. You'll die with a satisfied smile on your face with that goal, rather than dying with a heavy heart and mourning your own uselessness, as with the other"

NENKA FOTIA
He again listened to her attentively even though he didn't fully understand the lore of what she was saying; it was clearly something important to her. It sounded very pessimistic to him, the idea that "evil" could never be beaten. It's something he very naively didn't want to believe, but the truth was that she was right in a way; people will always be people and some are just.. made evil.
Nenka understood where she was coming from; grand ambitions are almost impossible to realise and smaller goals will add up and have a big impact in the long run. But at the same time, a part of him couldn't agree. He couldn't just give up on his dreams. It's what made him Nenka after all; who would he be without his grand ideals of heroism?
"The stronger I can get, the more people that will be in my grasp to save.. I'm not going to give up on that overarching ideal.. its why I'm here and alive. Trust me.. I don't intend to die with regrets that I couldn't do enough.."
He said it so sternly that it was apparent that nothing could deter him from his course; he was going to follow this road until the day it killed him. That was okay for Nenka, he'd rather die trying than live meaninglessly. However, he wouldn't be able to change anything by dying; especially early on in his path. There was a cognitive dissonance as his heroism wanted him to throw himself into dangers way at all times, but also stay alive in order to actually do the heroic things... he was a walking contradiction of ideals.

"Intention or no, you will. If you hold in your heart that you can save humanity from itself, then you will die in despair if you are hero to billions. Besides, humans are fickle creatures, all it takes is for you to save one person who others don't like or do one thing others don't want you to do, and you'll find yourself alone. All those who professed themselves friends, all those who you relied upon....
My Exalted Ancestor, Jormun Gandr's final act was alone, because all those who supported him did not want to carry on doing so to their own detriment. So be yourself. Be your own person, who relies on nothing. Have friends, sure, have allies even. But you'll never save a world that doesn't want to be saved. Your Dao is your Dao, never base it upon another, for they are unreliable"
She'd then get off the morbid topic and skip to her feet, beckoning him with her finger as she skipped backwards.
"But that doesn't mean do nothing, thus we should go and find someone's head to kick in. The world will always provide such a person, because it is the nature of humanity to need one's head kicking in. Unshackle man from the fetters of law, and he becomes a beast"

NENKA FOTIA
Nenka felt like this was going to go on and on in circles forever; he sighed some relief when she shifted the topic away to what they were originally intending; rooting out the cause of the local trouble around Saburo, a cause he can easily get behind. Despite her talking a lot about stuff he really didn't understand, there was one thing she said that made plenty of sense; sometimes people just need to get the shit kicked out of them to get the message to stop doing bad things and Nenka was onboard with doing that to those doing evil deeds.
"I know a few bad fuckers who could do with getting a beatdown.. lets go. We'll make this city a better place, one fight at a time I suppose!"
There was something he could take away from meeting this new friend of his; even if he wouldn't give up his grandest ideals, small victories will add up and make a difference overtime. Nenka was going to have to start somewhere, he wasn't exactly the embodiment of pure strength and power right now. It was going to be a long painful and dangerous journey.. one that he might not complete.
That was okay though. He never cared if he dies in the process.

Grinning and moving to pick Nenka up, she'd channel a large amount of Meln to her feet and rocket them both up to the nearby rooftop for a better vantage point. Someone would probably come to investigate the noise of the ground cracking from the force of takeoff. Calypso seemed somewhat irate and disappointed that it broke like that, but didn't dwell on it too long.
"Alright. Bird's eye view, technically. I can't fly like some can, but this is decent. We can get a good view of what is going on from here. We should start from the bottom and work up. That way we can get a good grasp of the general power level we are up against, and they can pull in all their assets so we don't have to root them out of the city later"

NENKA FOTIA
Nenka was took off guard by Calypso who seemed to pick him up easily; he did have a slender build and didn't weigh much at all, so even a normal human could probably do this to him, his expression being complete shock that she just casually picked him up like a toy, which he expressed some objections to due to how sudden it was; he was plenty capable of doing this on his own so why would she just pick him up like that?
"Hey, what are you doing picking me up like that!? I can jump on my own.."
After pouting and complaining, he reached the rooftop with her and got a good view of the city; his home. Something he had sworn to protect many years ago and has seen many of his friends die for. It was up to him now to be able to do what they couldn't. With resolve, he nodded to her when explaining a course of action. This wasn't going to be too hard of a task for the both of them; unless someone supernatural showed up to complicate things.
"We won't have much of an issue with these bunch unless some supernatural people turn up.. or demons in the worst case. Whatever happens, i'm fired up!"
He grinned confidently at her, ready for whatever came next. Even if it was small steps, he was going to do what he could with Calypso to make this city a better place.

"Because you are cute and the idea amused me" Calypso replied without missing a beat, just giving him a coy, smug grin and then staring out into the city. They apparently wouldn't have much trouble, but that was a dangerous mentality to have, going into a fight.
"Hmm, well it's your city. I can't imagine a Drengr like yourself would be ignorant on who needs taking down. Strange life goals if you are" Calypso commented, crossing her arms and looking out to the city. Her senses weren't quite like the ancients of legend, but they were better than the average human, so she could see what was going on well enough even from up here.

NENKA FOTIA
Nenka didn't really know how to react to that statement she made. A girl calling him cute? His reaction was to just blush and look away. Throughout his life, he didn't have much of a romantic thing going really, since he was too preoccupied with the dangers facing him at all times growing up and he was still only 19 years old so he wasn't even out of his teen years yet. He appeared to be pretty speechless before silently muttering something to her.
"I'm not... cute..."
It was about all he could muster in his shock and embarrassment at her comment. He tried to refocus on the goal at hand to root out the unfavourable people causing harm and trouble to the city. One group stood out amongst the rest that was sure to catch her interest though, he tried to regain his composure for her.
"A-anyways! Theres one group that stands out.. i've heard this gang actually has some supernatural stuff going on; they're funded by demons to keep dealing drugs; reason being if they can get people hooked on the stuff, its less resistance for demons to deal with when they come to pillage here and do a few murders. They're some top tier scum and could attract some of the real kingpins of trouble here.."
The reason they hadn't been dealt with already is because of their demonic backing; it was hard to root them out when you'd have to deal with some demon enforcers keeping them up. With Calypso and Nenka though, they were poised to go deal with the problem that was plaguing this city.
