Vale squinted. Sometimes xe forgot the fundamental reason why Xanti was a made psychopath: trauma. That reaction from Kane looked like a trauma response. “I think I picked the wrong word. You’re not feral.”
“With me, you’re collaborative. But it’s not a communication style or skillset you’ve developed, right?” The raven shrugged with both wings. “You don’t have to tell me why. The why doesn’t matter. The why is irrelevant.”
“The interesting question is: how can we establish trust and communication? Because, unfortunately, collaboration requires talking.” Vale sounded a bit more amused than xe probably should be, but, well, Vale was a bit too playful for xyr own good sometimes. “For better or for worse, you’re the only earth elemental we have. If we don’t collaborate today? In a few months, the cult will starve and infighting will erupt.”
“I know you don’t give a fuck about cannibals eating cannibals, but I want you to give a fuck, because cannibals are your best shot for accomplishing your goal. Cannibals don’t have to be smart to kill and eat whoever you want them to kill and eat. They’re prosocial hunting hounds willing to kill prosocials for their pharaoh. Isn’t that funny?”
Vale tilted xyr head. “And you don’t even need to learn how to bother manipulating prosocials. Meteor loves doing that shit, it’s his favorite thing. Hell, if I need to, I can do that shit for you.”
“But you’ve gotta communicate with me.” Vale did a double hop in place. “I’m communicating with you, right? Total honesty. Because, really, helping you achieve your goal helps me achieve my goal. If you want to vibe in nature and live in your cell when I don’t have the time to escort you, that’s fine, but it’s counterproductive to your goal.”
“You can’t undo the damage to nature alone. Hell, I can’t accomplish my goal alone. Meteor can’t. Xanti can’t. That’s why we work together.” Vale hesitated and added, “What you need is a coalition of psychopaths with complimentary skills and synergistic goals. I’m trying to teach you how to communicate, so we can all prosper.”
