[He nods. The fact that he looks remorseful about it is a bit more than he can say about a lot of others he's met - then again, Horrors generally tended to give zero fucks about things other than eating human souls and inflicting despair and other nasty things upon humanity.
So at least he's got a leg up on that?
Okay those are terrible standards, never mind.
The problem is currently that Ryuuga really never had to breach this sort of topic before. Back home, it's pretty straightforward on how he dealt with things: negative karma builds up, creates a Gate for Horrors to enter, he cuts down the Horror before they end up hurting more people - maybe purify the area if he and Rian can get to it before the Gate starts to appear. But even coming back to the colony, there are things that are still foreign to him, such as this. Usually there aren't that many shades of grey, if any. Sure, there's those that bent the rules (like himself), but there were several core tenets that even he wouldn't break.
And now, standing here with a pastry and coffee, he's starting to question it a bit more.
He's actually pausing for once, trying to be deliberate with his choice of wording. It's not something he's used to.]
So you remember the armor I was in?
[Usually he's the one doing the deflecting, but in this case if it'll help ease some of Yusuke's worry, he can at least explain himself a bit.]
