[And Emet-Selch is quiet for a time, though he doesn't seem to be upset at Tataru's commentary. At least, not in an angry sense, and he distractedly picks at what's left of his muffin without eating it, just breaking off small pieces and leaving them on the plate.]
There's no real solution, is there? Only tragic realities.
[Though he'd never stopped looking tired, the Ascian seems ever more so. He didn't expect to find any kind of answer from Tataru- and really, even if she'd suggested a solution, he would've just scorned it. Just the thought of opening a dialogue- well, that entirely depended on who he was opening a dialogue with. His people were no longer present to speak to, and mortals...
There was nothing worth talking to there.
(Nevermind that he was discussing this with a mortal.)]
People... do tend towards the childish, more often than not. Petulant, short-sighted, incapable of understanding the harm they cause. And sometimes... they overwhelm their parents, will never be given the opportunity to learn better.
[Realizing he's been tearing what's left of his poor muffin apart, he stops, dropping a few crumbs and withdrawing his hand.]
'Tis unfortunate when one shares one's perspective, only to have it come to naught regardless. Where violence becomes the only answer.
