" Did you never try to take it off? "
He slowly approached her, stopping right in front of her.
" To be honest, I wasn't the type who liked to dance. After the war, I spent some time in a wheelchair so. . . "
If it were up to him, he would prefer to just sit there and do nothing.
Sometimes, he was incredibly lazy. But seeing her do it? That inspired him to some extent; though he wouldn't admit it, he quietly approached her.
@SUNGORES " Girl, you could be wearing a swimsuit and you’d still look beautiful. It’s not really about the outfit, but who’s wearing it."
He didn't say it to be provocative; it was just very honest.
" Just go, take a stroll around Hollvania, walk into the first clothing store, and get yourself something cute. After all, it’s not like you’re going to have to pay anyone anyway. "
" Hhmm. I'd say one is like that. But, I wouldn't even know the first place to look for a dress. The Ostron clothing seems too... basic to put it nicely. "
And there's not an Orokin tailor around anymore, and that's if she's even what to get an Orokin dress.
"Sometimes personality isn't enough if you want to catch someone's eye—unless, of course, the guy is just another idiot who likes walking around in armor as if he were off to war."
Ironic coming from him; he never even takes off his armor.
" A dress? "
Taking a moment to think about it.
" I've never thought about wearing a dress. I'm used to being in armor, a uniform or just my sleepwear. "
" . . . Why I need you right now ? "
He gave in to the pressure and collapsed onto the floor, facing it.
"Don't cry, you idiot. . . No one's going to hear you anyway, no matter what you do."
" We had been told we were here to help, to bring the situation under control. But from the day we arrived in the city, their actions seemed contradictory to me; I was nothing more than a cog in the vast Scaldra ecosystem. Did I even have the right to judge? "
" . . . I tried so hard. . . I really tried, but I keep remembering their faces. Why do I feel as if their blood is still on my hands? WHY CAN'T THIS END? WASN'T THAT ENOUGH? "
@SUNGORES /I mean, you have a point. But I could actually see Roathe saying something about it before Amir. Just like " So this was the food of Albretch ? "
He had nowhere else to go; the best thing he could do was take up the rifle one more time.
"They said they were infected, I couldn't disobey orders! Do you think I don't regret what happened!?"
