It was very... strange. Just strange. To reclaim the name. To reclaim even the pronouns of a person. It felt like a lie, after so many years. It would be nice, though, to die as a person. "Besides, Vespyr, I don't want to go to school..." Janice turned her head. "Though dyeing my hair does sound fun..."

The Sparrow will care for your needs. You will remain unobtrusive until the Queen’s search has faded.” Vespyr had a very one-track mind. It didn’t occur to him at all to ask if Sparrow wanted to adopt a magical ex-serial killer child with a semi-fragmented mind. And he seemed to be discounting Janice’s insistant complaints that her friends needed her. After all... it would be a shame, dying to save her, if she went and got herself killed again by the same people she’d just been saved from. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the right moment to laugh, but Vespyr had almost forgotten how. At least naturally, laughter... was more of a memory than an option. And it would be rude, besides. "If you insist on trying to get yourself killed, I will defend you until I am no longer able," Vespyr volunteered hesitantly. "You and your friends." Damn. Why was it that her hair looked red to him? Why was it that he kept seeing Rain whenever he glanced at this child? They were nothing alike. She was dead. No amount of trying would bring back the girl he'd let be slaughtered. He shouldn't care. There was no redemption, no fixing that betrayal. This... was an act of futility. He was dying, though. Death throes weren't supposed to by anything but futile, he supposed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was still very starving, as he had recently done a significant amount of healing which had drained him of his energy. He caught himself thinking longingly of the granola bar that still lay in a hidden compartment underneath the barrel of his right pistol, but he shook his head, clearing his mind. He would have to focus if he wanted a... chance. "Can I get my lawyer arrangements sometimes soon?" he asked the colonel, "I know a law firm in town, and I want to have a chance to talk with one." @The Ward's Guard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
