[It was like, 3 in the morning, and Lio was laying in bed while restlessly typing this on his phone, the subject of the post laying next to him and almost certainly drooling in his sleep.]

To whom it may concern.

If you see an idiot firefighter running around the city shirtless at any point, look with your eyes, not your hands. Actually, I'd prefer if you kept your eyes above the chin.

He's mine.

[Happy first day of Sanguis!]

FUEL?!

Good Gods.

[Treatment of Faunus back in Remnant was awful even at the best of times, and many did die in less than ideal conditions in Dust mines or as a result of poor resources, but to be literally turned in to fuel--

It makes his stomach churn.]

[burningfree]

I'd rather not go into the details of it, but yes, it was horrific, and the most painful thing I'd ever felt in my life.

[Talking about this was bringing back unpleasant memories. As important as it was for Lio to make sure everyone knew just how evil humanity could be, the trauma was still fresh, and he was having trouble coping with even the not so unpleasant aspects of everything that had happened.]

So talk to your friend. I don't have any reason to suspect the Moon Knights are doing anything quite so monstrous, but I worry for the people they are mistreating.

[sleepinglotus]

I appreciate it. I can handle a lot but that...

[Ren is not want to react so strongly normally.]

That's fair.

Weiss can be... stubborn. She was worse, when I first met her, but we've all been through a lot and she's grown because of it. Still I can't say how she'll take it.

[burningfree]

I wish you luck, then. Again, I'm glad that someone is taking my concerns seriously.

And I won't blame you, if you can't change her mind. That you're even willing to try speaks volumes.

What did you say your name was?

[sleepinglotus]

Thank you.

Lie Ren. Her name is Weiss Schnee, if you're curious. She also has a sister here named Winter but as far as I know she's not with the Knights.

[Which was surprising given her history with the Atlas Military, but Winter has her reasons.]

[burningfree]

Lie?

I'm Lio Fotia.

[What a coincidence.]

I'll keep that in mind, though hopefully I won't be needing to cross her path anytime in the future.

[He wasn't planning on getting on the wrong side of the law. Yet.]

[sleepinglotus]

[He usually goes by Ren for personal reasons, but the similarities are amusing enough he won't bring that up.]

Nice to meet you, Lio. I hope if you do meet her it isn't on bad terms. She's a good person, but strict.

[So. Y'know. Be careful.]

[burningfree]

The pleasure's all mine, Lie.

[Until that was specified otherwise, poor Ren was going to be called Lie by Lio now.]

I can only hope so too. Strictness and I don't tend to get along, but I'll make an effort.

[sleepinglotus]

[It's fine. A few here do. He's never bothered with explaining his reasoning for going by his surname much anyway.]

She can be nice otherwise but I would understand wanting to avoid her.
