[Kenzaki] A long story (tag Daniel, open)

OOC: Kenzaki and Daniel are coming from here


Kenzaki considered his options and sat down. Much as he didn't like it, Jakkuson-san had a point. His talents could make a difference here - and it wasn't like he was telling the whole camp, as the few who spoke decent Japanese, Carurosu-san and Suu-chan, were not there. Those who didn't speak much of his language were unlikely to get the whole story, though Ripuri might recognize what he was explaining about.

He tried to think of what would be useful to get the women free, and yet not have to explain everything. But with this truth spell, maybe it would be better to be honest.

"I am not human," he said. He thought the archaeologist would be more surprised at this, but Jakkuson-san simply let him go on. "But that is not important here." He thought of the best way to explain things. "I became what I am less than a year ago, Jakkuson-san, and I had nobody to tell me exactly what I became, or at least what I could expect, other than one thing." He paused.

"But I have found this much out," he said, before Jakkuson-san could interrupt and ask him what that thing was. He had no desire to bring up the whole situation with Hajime. "Since I have become what I am, I have not needed to sleep, eat, or drink. I survive by energy alone." He struggled to make the words come out correctly. "I am slightly stronger than I was before, stronger than I look. However, many here are stronger than I am." The next bit was the tricky part, the hard part. "The being that I have become cannot die or age. It can only be sealed in a form that causes stasis, and only in special ways. If I was severly injured, critically injured, any other way, I eventually would revive and heal and come back."

He let Jakkuson-san work on that mentally, and then added, "I'm not powerful like Ripuri-san or smart like Rodonii-san. I cannot go from place to place like Kurisu-san. I am only good as a guard and a warrior."
