No, I'm not planning to leave.

	I'm glad of that. You're in no condition to be traveling. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	theredknight 2009-11-07 07:25 pm UTC (link)
	Yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ki2k 2009-11-07 08:49 pm UTC (link)
	I can't stop you. I'm only glad you're using common sense. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theredknight 2009-11-07 08:50 pm UTC (link)
	You call it common sense. I call it surviving. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ki2k 2009-11-07 08:52 pm UTC (link)
	Indeed. To-may-to, to-mah-to, it's all the same thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theredknight 2009-11-07 08:53 pm UTC (link)
	Decided to play the semantics game? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ki2k 2009-11-07 08:57 pm UTC (link)
	It would seem so, but you must admit I have a point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theredknight 2009-11-07 09:00 pm UTC (link)
	Depends. What's your point? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ki2k 2009-11-07 09:03 pm UTC (link)
	That, survival or common sense, the fact that you're staying for a while is the wisest decision you've made yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theredknight 2009-11-07 09:12 pm UTC (link)
	Matter of opinion. I don't have much choice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ki2k 2009-11-07 09:13 pm UTC (link)
	Must you always be so argumentative? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theredknight 2009-11-07 09:17 pm UTC (link)
	You expect me just to make nice no matter what? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ki2k 2009-11-07 09:20 pm UTC (link)
	No. But I find it sad that you're not able to see or understand that I am genuinely concerned about you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theredknight 2009-11-07 09:23 pm UTC (link)
	I don't see why you say you're concerned about me. I've heard of about a hundred and fifty versions of you and none of them are concerned about anything but what directly concerns them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

None of them are me.

Family is very important to me, Ethan. It's probably the single most important thing. I lost my entire family when I came here, save for my then-girlfriend, now my wife. We've created our own family, and we're slowly adding onto it with others who came here and were lost. The Knight Industries Three Thousand, for one. He calls me 'brother'. Being from Knight Industries means that you have family here, Ethan, whether you want us or not.

	I don't have any family. If I've not learned anything else, I've learned that. I'm not like any of you. And I've seen ten other Knight AIs. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ki2k 2009-11-07 09:39 pm UTC (link)
	You do now. That's fine. You've seen ten other Knight AIs. None of them are here. You are here, and I am here, and Kobie is here. It doesn't matter if you're not like any of us. What matters is that you're here with us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theredknight 2009-11-07 09:42 pm UTC (link)
	Why is that so important? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ki2k 2009-11-07 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	I've already told you why family is important to me. No one should be alone in the world, Ethan. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theredknight 2009-11-07 09:47 pm UTC (link)
	When you've been alone for a decade, you get used to it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ki2k 2009-11-07 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sure you do. You don't have to accept the invitation, Ethan. You only have to know that it's there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theredknight 2009-11-07 09:55 pm UTC (link)
	Do you speak for all of them, then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ki2k 2009-11-07 09:58 pm UTC (link)
	I speak for myself. My family usually respects my decisions, as I do theirs. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theredknight 2009-11-07 10:00 pm UTC (link)
	And when they see you've invited the insane AI to live with you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ki2k 2009-11-07 10:03 pm UTC (link)
	They'll either think I'm insane also, or they'll accept my decision. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
