Can Shinki get sick?

[ A seemingly simple question, but one that's been clawing at him for days. The symptoms have become too painful to ignore, so he bites his tongue and seeks answers because unknown to him, his bloodlust has begun to manifest. ]

[ A shinki... unfamiliar, but still a shinki and most importantly, new. He'd been here only a few weeks, so he knew the feeling of uncertainty that stemmed from their circumstances. He tones down the hostility, for now. ]

It shouldn't, but it is. Don't let down your guard.

[Without any conscious thought on his part, his hand has once again gone up to his chest - why? Feeling for a heartbeat? As if he can't feel his heart hammering so hard, it's a wonder his rib cage doesn't break.

Why is he so scared of this?]

we are weapons
weapons dont get sick
why would the heavens allow such a thing to happen

[moonlitknight]

[ His anger suddenly flares at that statement, it's fuel unknown, but it grates at him just as fiercely making it difficult to stop it from leaking into his response. ]

Everyone gets sick. Even these so-called gods. They die like everyone else.

[spes_phthisica]

[No. He's not going to accept this. He can't.]

if you are talking about blight its not the same thing at all
that only happens when we fail in our duties

[moonlitknight]

[ His answer is immediate. ]

That's not what I'm talking about and we are not beholden to them.

[spes_phthisica]

we are their weapons that is our purpose here
we have nothing to come back to no other loyalties

[moonlitknight]

Our purpose is what we make of it.

[ They weren't things to be used and discarded.]
