[ while sabo doesn't need to be able to read people's intentions as well as some people (looks at wolfwood from another timeline), he does put effort in feeling out how to best work with the people he's around. (i, naru, suffer due to sabo constantly.)
he'll also take the chuckle as a huge win for him, thank you. he has seen enough of blade's laughs and this one isn't a deranged one. ]
When you put it that way, he seems like a very pathetic person, doesn't he? A person who is unable to face reality and finds comfort in their own lies. [ ... ] If we include this along with everything that he has said about that goddess of his—he is someone almost worth pitying.
[ in this moment blade can see where sabo stands on religion as a treat ig. ]
[ sabo is definitely counting his blessings that he's able to listen to a normal laugh from blade verses the deranged ones that happen in public. ....truly he is holding this laugh close to his heart. ]
Neither have I. [ aeons...? sabo doesn't need to really ask who or what those are in this context. ] I don't judge people for holding onto certain beliefs but when those beliefs blind them to reality...
He's nearly two thousand years old but behaves no older than myself.
[ since, well, sabo has the impression that blade is also one of those Older Than Balls without looking like it. just the vibe he gets. you can't say everything that he has without being in that situation... ]
[ Please do. It's a rare time whenever it happens and it may not happen again (or maybe it will. Who knows in this game?) ]
...Being immortal or older than most people doesn't mean someone will have the expected maturity.
There are even more ancient beings who are old enough to be older than time, but act like children.
[ Blade is also definitely Older Than Balls, it's true. He's about 700+, even if no one would expect it, just by looking at him; though, his speech does so happen to help, it's true. ]
[ will it happen while sabo's still alive tho? :think: ]
It sounds like you're speaking from experience.
[ he snickers. sure, it isn't exactly a time to laugh but he has his reasons, okay? ]
You've already implied that you're familiar with the type who are "long-lived", but didn't think they included experiences of those who come short in maturity. I'd almost consider it embarrassing if I were them.
[ BECAUSE IMAGINE?? some twenty-two year old punk having a better view on life than someone who has spent thousands of years doing what with their life. ...though perhaps that could also be the reason for it. when time is finite your perspective changes. ]
[ Sure, it's always a great time to laugh, Sabo. Blade watches him make the sound of amusement and with the expression on his own face? Who is he to judge. ]
On both counts.
Xianzhou Natives can mature slower because of their long-lived lives. Or just not at all.
But even beyond the Xianzhou, long-lived species can act foolish. Childish.
[ Blade isn't entirely surprised that this is not confined to the universe he's from. Though, hey, shorter time and rougher experiences can mature people swifter. Or it can just do the opposite, depending. ]

Be fortunate, in hearing one that is rarely not.
As Sabo talks, Blade can agree with those words. Then, he mentions the part about the goddess. ]
Ugh...very pathetic.
[ There is an audible sound of disgust. ]
Almost a pity, and not quite. I never cared for those who revered Aeons to insanity. They caused trouble. He is the same...
I never can understand it.
