-The hunter walked slowly towards the exo, head low and holding a small box on his hands-
Morion, dear... I'm sorry. I never meat to diminish you pain or anything like that...
I thought I made it very clear that I never wanted to see or hear from you again.
He glares at the hunter standing next to him at the cantina’s bar with hatred in his eyes. One reserved for people who’ve deeply wronged him or who have done something he deems abhorrent enough to be a cause for contempt
I know, I know... I just...
-Ellis lifted his head ever so slightly, enough to make eye contact for a second before the angered expression on the exo made him lower his head-
I didn't mean to harm you and I did anyways... I'm so sorry.
That only was half of why I don’t want you anywhere near me. The other half is your complete insolence and refusal to see the world as it actually is.
He takes a sip from his glass of House Winter Ether-Liquor, still turned away from Ellis and not talking to him face to face
I quite in fact can't see things from anything else than what they are.
-He stated without thinking-
You just don't see it as I do... I'm sorry that bothers you.
Even in the midst of the greatest threat to humanity since Dominus Ghaul, you still refuse to see. You’ve gouged your own eyes out because you’re too scared of the world to perceive it. You’re a fucking coward.
We both got given a second chance, all guardians were. Is it too bad to think that applies to everyone?
-He sighed, clenching a little tighter the box on his hands-
I know I'm a coward, but I also have a perfect memory. And I know, for a fact, that killing has never solved one of our issues.
Yes. Second chances should only be given to those deserving of them, to those that can potentially change, and the vast majority of our enemies, throughout our history? They were incapable of it.
He then chuckles coldly
By saying that you prove that you can’t remember a damned thing. Killing, nine times out of ten, is the only solution to the threats and crises humanity faces. The Heart of The Garden, Atheon, Crota, Skolas, Oryx, Aksis and Rasputin, Ghaul, Xol, Uldren and The Scorned Barons, Hashladûn, Atraks, Rhulk, Calus, Nezarec, The Witness, Levask, Maya… and now Bael, Lume, and VI… and eventually… Xivu Arath, Savathûn, and Clovis Bray. This is how it’s always been, and always will be. If you refuse to accept that, then you have no right or business to be the “Lightguide”.
Killing Uldren didn't solve anything... I did not gave us Cayde back, nor got rid of the Scorn. Killing Uldren just put us in the worst spot possible when Crow was revived... it tortured him, it tortured the reef and it tortured us. But you're a guardian, you'll never understand that...
-He sighed, placing the small box on the bar next to the exo's arm-
That's why I have the right to be the Lightguide.
Uldren needed to die. Not just as recompense for Cayde, but because killing him was the better option compared to whatever Riven was planning on doing with him… and The Traveler knew it wasn’t his fault… it knew he deserved a second chance, the one that Riven took from him. It was different in that case, very different. But it wasn’t with The Barons, or the others I mentioned.
He pushes the box back to Ellis resentfully
You’re soft, and you make lightbearers weak, which makes everyone else vulnerable. It puts them at risk. You’re a liability, and it’s well past time you were replaced, one way or another.
Uldren didn't need to die, he would've come back as Crow one way or another...
-Ellis took back the box and then took a step back-
I don't make the new lights weak, in fact I do the oposite. If we had the blind guiding the blind, then they'll surely would turn out weak.
Just fuck off and stop talking. You’ve never known a single thing in your entire life as a lightbearer, and will be the reason we’re all killed if humanity’s enemies are allowed to continue existing.
