The silent wolf is a hurt wolf.

Who: Garviel and you
Where: Aquarius ward, Later Saggitarius ward
Summary: Garviel works with Day care, and is generally hugenormous. Later on, he gets mistreated by the citizens of Hinoto-Ri
Warnings: Introspection

Within a day care in Aquarius ward, an 8 foot tall giant, in roughly-made white clothes and still scarred from battle, white and pink markings all over his face, livid and clear is functioning as a sort of human jungle gym. Children climb his legs and are lifted up in his arms, as the warrior serves humanity in quite a different way from his normal warlike work. He fusses over the children as they scamper away, or try to play games with him, his expression always somewhat distant, grey eyes very unreadable even as he gently makes sure everyone is safe and well cared for, sometimes carrying one, two, or even three children in his arms at one time to make sure they are safe and don't run off from the day care. He doesn't react poorly to having blocks thrown at him, or little children crawling all over him, he just faces it with the same stoicism that he faced everything else, from monster to the great daemon Nyarlathotep. It is all to the same to Loken.

Later on, he arms and armors himself once more, and walks in the Sagittarius district, seemingly looking for something even in his wargear, as if stalking a ghost of some sort. Where the children of Hinoto-Ri accept their huge protector and playmate without fear or resentment, this is not the case for the adults, hurrying away in terror of the war-machine, or pelting him with stones, or whatever else they have at him. Whispered words of "monsters", other similar comments are snapped at him, and he trudges on in a silent patrol, a vigil no-one cares about as he prepares to hunt demons. He walks on through it all, his shoulders slightly hunched forward as if in a storm, completely immune to anything they can manage with blade or gun, but hurt somewhat by their words. He has always wondered if he is monster or man, and these other men, these people he has chosen to protect, for whom he struggles to be pure, to keep his honor intact, have rejected him.

"No, I was raised in a special program for engineered children."

"I was in a program with 19 others. We were genetically engineered to be the next step in human evolution, or perhaps several steps above that, I'm not certain. The experiment had many.... Issues."

"No? I only met one member of the research team, but that was on Earth and that doesn't sound like a human name."

"I take it genetics experiments like that are even more illegal on your world than mine."

"While I don't know of any Emperors, I do know the only alien contact Earth has had in my world is with the technology of a long gone civilization. Still, with a name like Bile, its small wonder he's a terrible person, I suspect if I was named after the Bile ducts I'd have a chip on my shoulder too."

"The one researcher I remember said it was to bring the next step of evolution. Which may have been true, but in the end it was the corporate view that won out and I was linked to Omoikane. Most of my early childhood was dealing with AIs."

Ruri shrugged, neither noticing nor particularly caring.

"At least I had a reason to be alive, lots of people spend forever in pursuit of that or other things more intangible."
