*Grabs my nose and looks at you*What's your problem? Is trust an issue for you?

Para said
Yes, possession! In Aera we take vows as part of our culture to become one with the other, so each party owns the other and themselves. This is to symbolise the trust between them! We speak these vows when we take up an occupation or enter a family.

Legend said
You don't own others.

-Ruby- *gapes* For a moment I thought you were talking about slaves!!

Para said
We do in Aera!*Rubs nose*I feel like we may be on the wrong page of what context of "own" we mean.

Legend said
I'm perfectly clear. You don't own another being like you would an animal.

Para said
No! You still misunderstand! In Aera, we take vows as part of our culture to become one with the other, so each party owns the other and themselves. This is to symbolise the trust between them! We speak these vows when we take up an occupation or enter a family. It's also what's spoken when taking the responsibility of anothers life into your hands, including pets. I don't mean psychical ownership!

Legend said
I don't care how you word it. That's irrelevant.

Para said
It isn't the wording! We have another meaning for "ownership," which is a mutual trust and affection between two or more individuals. You're angry about slave-like ownership. Now you're just being unreasonable.

Legend said
You have no right to call what I do unreasonable.

Para said
I have every right. You just punched me in the face for having my own culture.

Legend said
I punched you in the face because your culture is stupid.

Para said
Then keep your opinion to yourself and stop your culturally discriminatory views from becoming spoken word.

I don't like the feeling behind this...

Legend said
Opinion? Bah, that was a fact.
