Oryx, recovered from accidentally finding all of Eris's Yaoi Fanfics: Younger sister, why does your Blade work for others?
Eris: They are not my blade. I called to them in need and they answered.
Oryx, baffled: So they just helped you? No pact, no grand loyalty? They are not your brood, yet they come to your aid?
Eris: If by Brood, you mean of me, they are not. They have conjured an ancient trust system that humans have been using since fire was found.
Oryx, concerned: Humans will just trust others? How does that work?
Eris: Oh, humans are inherently untrustworthy. We are fickle, greedy, and vile things. Yet, we also bond closely to those we trust, so much so it is not uncommon for us to create fake familial bonds.
Oryx, in awe: So, they help you, because they trust you won't hurt them?
Eris: They help because I am family to them. I am their friend, and I have shown to be quick to help them.
Oryx, pondering: My heir is using the sword logic, but yet, you say they are inherently not. Fascinating.
Eris, picking up some papers: Yes, now please stop trying to poke around here.
Oryx, not following directions: Why is there a family album in here if they are not your brood?
