He kills people, and he has fun doing it. There's no point in denying it, or pretending that he doesn't-- he enjoys showing it off, so it's bound to come up in conversation with him eventually. Unsurprisingly, a lot of people hate him. He hurts people. It's understandable that they'd be against him, and what he does.
When I first met him, I wasn't sure what to think. I was immediately warned to stay away from him, and I meant to do just that. I didn't see any real reason to talk to him, so it seemed like simply avoiding him would be easy to do.
I mean, why would someone be friends with a person like that?
Yet despite what he does, and the awful things he can say... He's one of my closest friends. I don't think my stay on this ship would have been as enjoyable if I never went against that warning. My life is just a shade brighter because of him.
There's more to him than just a murderer. He's funny, caring, intelligent-- things that most people will never see because they can't look past the cryptic messages and blood. Or they don't want to, who knows? I don't know or understand everything about him. I never will. But I'm okay with that.
[she doesn't really know how to respond to all that. she goes over her friend's words in her head for a while. she can really tell Naminé is close to him... so this makes what she says next even harder to let out. as much as she loves Naminé, and as much as she wants to be friends with her friends, too...]
He told me the bonds between us weren't real, because you don't have hearts. He called us "the living dead, unable to care". And I know that's not true. I know our friendship is real, and I know we can care—especially about other people.
It just... reminded me a little of Saïx, the way he said it. It hurt.
Like I said, he hurts people. Doing it with words can be more powerful than with your hands.
[ She's about to add on something else; how Genkaku, like them, is still figuring out connections to others, how he's new to having friends. But even with Xion, that's still seems too much to share about him. ]
You don't have to like him. I'm not going to be upset if you don't, it's okay. I really don't expect many others to-- from what I've seen, most people hate him.
[she looks down, lost in thought for a while. after a few moments of contemplation, she speaks up again.]
... If he's a friend of yours, I don't want to hate him. I don't, right now—but I don't know exactly how I feel about him, either. [a nervous twitch, even though Naminé can't see it.] I... I can tell he's important to you, though.
Like I said, it's okay. You really don't have to speak to him at all if you don't want to; it wouldn't bother me. I know that it can be hard speaking to him. It was like that for me in the beginning, too.

Hello?
Re: voice
[she hesitates. she doesn't want to jump straight into it, but they'd just been talking, and it's been on her mind for a while...]
I... want to talk about that Genkaku guy.
Re: voice
[ She had a feeling that this was going to come up eventually, so she doesn't sound at all surprised. ]
Sure. What about him?
Re: voice
When I first came to the Thor, you told me to stay away from him, right?
Re: voice
I did.
Re: voice
Re: voice
Would you like to talk to him, or would you prefer staying away?
Re: voice
We were talking the other day, and... some of the things he said... I didn't know what to think.
