Markel leans forward, "I know not just how much Thomas chose to reveal to you, so I'll keep this brief. The indoctrination was a side effect of their creation. Had I known, I would not have taken one for myself, even given how helpful Aisley has been to me."

Aisley gains a short look of sadness as Markel continues, "The rules were instilled into them so that the Items would not break them, so they would rather die than be taken from the Band and examined by others. While it is a happy coincidence that it prevents others from breaking Baku's rules, I would prefer not to be limited by them."

Baku looks over to Markel, obviously put off that Markel even entertains the idea that his rules should be optional, but he says nothing....

Not that he has to, as Kittycut gladly does it for him, "What's that supposed ta mean?! Ya sayin ya wanna be able ta kill?!"

Aisley frowns, "Surely you wouldn't...right Markel?"

He doesn't answer, rather looking to Baku, then Adelaide knowingly. Baku sighs in defeat before Markel speaks, "I wonder, if one of Arden's beasts were to attack now, would you simply let it harm us to try and save it? The harsh truth of life is sometimes a life must be taken, as Baku isn't so naïve to believe, and Lady Adelaide likely knows herself."
