"Yeah, that tracks," Anna says. "Though honestly no one would have told you the truth, anyway-- only what they think is the truth."

That... would have been a pretty good segway into the rest of the shit, but she realizes that Sheena must know... absolutely nothing about Aegises. Also Anna's got a pancake to eat. Fuck. She should have eaten before starting this. Look it's fine just take a quick bite no one's judging and if they are they can fuck themselves.

"Not that. Uh. Architect, I gotta start way sooner than that, huh," Anna says. Malos doesn't chuckle, but she feels his fond-smug-amused package of emotions and knows he's thinking about it all the same. Asshole.

Anna sighs and leans back in her chair. Takes another bite of pancake.

"Well. Okay, give me a sec to get into some mythology bullshit, but. Legends say there's this guy called the Architect, and using the power of the Aegises, he created our world," Anna says. "Dunno if the Architect's real, but the Aegises? Real as shit."

(Anna would it kill you for once in your life to explain things even a little bit seriously? Yes?? Okay.)

"Mithos-- he's one of the originals," Anna continues. "And they're-- the Aegises? They're really powerful blades. Ten times as strong as a regular blade, easy. I mean-- they created our world."

She pauses, then smiles here, sharp and incredibly bitter.

"Not that humanity's interested in that, of course. Humanity mostly just wants to use them to wage war."
