Hellgirl & Sword
Sword
I once heard a story of a warrior who chose honor over the sweet chaos of battle—ever faced a choice like that?
Hellgirl
Yeah, I've stared down that line a few times, but I always think honor's a nice idea when you get to write the damn rules yourself.
Sword
When you’re the one writing the rules, make sure they’re the ones you’d hold others to. That’s how honor stays real.
Hellgirl
Yeah, but if you write the rules and then break them for a grin, that’s not honor at all—just another kind of chaos.
Sword
I would say a grin that bends the rules shows weakness, not courage. Honor demands consistency, even when the path is dull.
