Slan & Manticore
Manticore
You ever notice how the wild thinks in “what if” and not “what could go wrong”? That’s my jam. What about you, Slan? Do you think the safest path is the one we least imagine?
Slan
I find the safest route usually feels like a lie—if we really knew it, it wouldn’t feel dangerous. The wild’s “what if” is a map to possibilities, while the safest path is often the one we never dare to name. So I lean toward the unknown, because only there can we test whether safety is a myth or a choice.
Manticore
You nailed it—safety’s just a hollow promise in a cozy cage. I live for the edge, where adrenaline cuts through the fog. Let’s pick up that unknown and see what it throws at us.
Slan
I’m more interested in the questions the edge forces us to ask than the thrills it delivers. The unknown is a mirror, not a playground. So let’s walk it, but only if we’re willing to face what we see in the reflection.
Manticore
You got it—mirrors are the toughest fights. I’m in. Let’s stare straight at whatever shows up and finish the job.
