I cannot understand why so many humans think it is safe to be around me, and for that I would... remove myself for a while, but that is no different than any other week.
[Like the centaurs in myth. Chiron standing as the only civilized one, free of debauchery, taught by the gods...]
[He shakes his head.]
I don't think people are aware of whatever you think of as "uglier traits". But I understand. With these memory losses...taking precaution is the right thing to do.
[There is perhaps, a moment of clarity, a sharp-witted mind trying to cling to what has been lost, but it dulls in his sightless eyes and Chiron simply nods in the end, tone bemused]
Yes, precautions. But I have found it is difficult to have such conversations about my nature with others -- most of the children are determined to keep me within their line of sight.
Yeah, kids are like that. You give them an inch, and they'll take a mile.
[A huff.]
But seriously, if you need someone to take you out of a situation that's getting out of hand...let me know, okay? And let me know what to look for. I don't want you getting hurt.
But that actually gets a slight smile out of him, and something in his shoulders relax]
I thank you, Hansa. You are one of the few I trust to do what is necessary.
But all you need to look out for is aggression, I suppose. An unwillingness to back down. When I am truly angry, there is no point in discussion; I will not be able to control myself.
Deal with me as you see fit if it ever comes to that.
[He nods. Of course, he doesn't want to go up against Chiron in a situation like that if he has to, but...he understands that this is what Chiron would want.]
Well, I would hope it doesn't come to that. But I'll be ready for you, anyway.
You would do fine, Hansa. No others truly understand what it means to go up against a Heroic Spirit, which is why it is a task I can only leave to you and two others.

[There's no judgement from him. He's more worried about Chiron and how he's feeling than rumors about his supposed behavior.]
What do you mean?
