Ghosts and spirits are typically the most common things that haunt people. [in stories he’s not so sure he believes.]
Look, Dirge, I don’t want you killing people. It’s not a good thing to do, and here you’re likely to end up killing one of my friends if you kill someone. Please don’t do that...for me if for no other reason.
[A little 'huff of air' though his vents. Could've fooled him on the protoform thing sometimes. Though at least he doesn't have to talk you out of killing anyone.]
That's not what 'winglet' means.
[Well technically it could, but it didn't in this case.]
It just means a rookie; a young, inexperienced Seeker. Well, flier in general really, but Seekers use it most often.
[Wing smiles, the next words sincere] Thank you, Dirge. I really appreciate it.
[Aww. Okay, so he knows that the sentiment behind that statement is the greed talking, but it does mean something to him that Dirge doesn’t want to lose Wing’s friendship.]
Oh. [It occurs to Dirge he's not very familiar with his own frametype's colloquialisms on account of not being around other seekers. That and lacking an upbringing really.]
[All the more reason to let Jade take you under his wing (so to speak) a bit. Keep you from doing anything especially dumb til you have a chance to grow into your own shell.]
Time, mostly. The longer you live, the more you learn, and the more experience you gain.
And the best way to live a long time is to avoid doing things that might make people want to kill you, if at all possible.
