Over Thunk It
A Word: And all this proves is that you can't throw a bit character my way and not expect me to think of ways they could have stayed in the main storyline. Tell me it wouldn't have been hilarious to see a traumatized and brainwashed Misha latch onto Sechs as her next master.

Sechs didn't make it a habit to think. Too many people around him thought too much and didn't do anything. Usually they ended up dying in a pathetic way. Nothing good ever really came of it, so Sechs tried to avoid thinking as much as possible.
Tried being the operative word. Because there were just some things that even he couldn't help but think about. Like the whole thing with Whophon. Most of the whole thing. The part with the girls.
He still gets praised for that move. They call him a hero for saving some dignitary's daughter, like it means something to him. They'll probably change their tune in a week or so, but that's not important.
The thing is that he hadn't wanted to save her. Sechs really didn't give a flying fuck if she killed herself, he'd only wanted to ask her why she was doing it. He just wanted to know why anyone would want to throw their lives away like that.
It blew his mind that there were people who could do that with no damn good reason except someone's say so. Made him think hard about it all. 'course he didn't figure anything out on his own. Thinking wasn't something he did, which was a pain in the ass because he wanted to know. Asking one of those girls seemed like the best plan for him. And look at what that got him. Damn thinking and damn curiosity.
He's heard enough about cats and curiosity to last him a lifetime now. Because now he's got an annoying blonde shadow following him around and calling him "master." It pisses him off, but what can he do? The girl won't leave and it's not worth it to kill a little weak thing like her.
This thinking thing just wasn't for him.
