Rhona thought Allen's words were nieve and silly but suppose if the world was nice enough then dreams would be the constant reality. But she did not disapprove. These things would come across a continuous and they would mold a mind. The fact he was older than her and still talking about these things would surprise her to no end. Already she'd see a boy in him and his soft expressions.
But she waved a hand at Leon. "It isn't me... so it will come out. It is putting thought in my head... more like thoughts that are always there and while I know otherwise they are the truth they are still there." Not sure if she was making sense it did not matter much she had a point she was getting to. "It is coming out, I can manipulate my own energies. I just got to work through some stuff. Honestly... I did not come to Cabal without knowing what I really wanted for myself. I wanted justice served... but I am not sure that is enough anymore. When I figure that out you can expect a lot more coming from me, be sure of that."

"More than hate, or rage?"
Leon mused out loud, then shrugged and stretched his arms a bit.
"If you wish to figure out what beyond justice you seek there are ways of finding it, though if you wish to figure it out on your own that is admirable as well. The world has no need for monsters like me anymore, so do search in moderation, savvy? Didn't catch either of your names as it were?"
Leon asked trying to pry the names from them without outwardly asking, he half knew about Allen already, but he wasn't one to pay attention to those boring meetings for over too much. Rhona would be an interesting one to grow, though Leon would not mediate Allen's growth simply out of respect for David's visions of training.

Yes, at least to keep my Mother from turning in her grave." Of course, it was little known to her that her plans and Ideals would have to be changed. That her mind and her body were not as set in stone as she would have preferred. That her parents rolling in their graves would actually have to be ignored or set lower on her priority list unless she wanted to join them soon.
Seemed the Dragon himself was calm or just tired and therefore no longer wishing to kill a few more ignorant drunks. Maybe that was a funny and possibly wrong assumption but what he said made her exhale an exasperated noise. "WE are not Monsters!" we have Anger issues, strong grips, and loud spirits, anyone else could say the same? but realizing she blurted that out she decided to elaborate in a much calmer voice. "Power does not make you a monster, it is what you make of it, but not an auto red stamp saying Monster..." she stuck out a hand to her superior for a shake. "Rhona... Rhona Hall."

Leon was struck momentarily by her blurted out words of... Frustration? Or was there under lying fear of the possibility of corrupted power? Though he would take her hand to shake and elaborate himself. Though more than a few of the veterans in the bar seemed to smile at Rhona's words, some genuine, some not.
"Well, Miss Hall... While strength and power do not beget the description of a monster, I have come to terms with what I am. I am a Monster, born from a worthless system which destroyed a world. You however. Both of you have the potential to be so much more than what I became. Thats why I teach recruits now, I teach them how to gain power and not become monsters like me."

Bemusement crossed her face. But her attention drew to the bodies on the floor. She wondered if this was the correlation between his words and how he'd feel about himself. She remembered hearing both the amazing and fierce stories of the Dragons. True to some their deeds could be twisted one way or the other but Rhona hardly thought any of them as monsters. Actually, they were stories she admired. Still looking at the bodies she wondered if it was likely those stories had described deeds such as this if they'd look like such the good guys in the world's eye.
She finally looked back at Leon. "Suppose I'll have to attend your class more often, maybe I can learn to better understand what you mean."

Allen stared, looking away as they continued their back and forth. Tuning them out. His hand touched his stomach and arm, where the wounds that Blake had given him were still present. It was true- perhaps he was childish. Naive. David had hoped to build him into something more he knew but...was that what he wanted? He flexed his fix. Was it to be strong? He looked back to Leon, then asked a question of his own, interjecting into whatever they were saying with his own musings.
"And what do you seek to give Cabal?"

Leon was going to respond to Rhona with an agreement on teaching her more in the classrooms, however, it would be the Hollows boy again speaking up with at least a well thought question. Leon would look to the dead bodies and then back to Allen.
"A better future. The power to protect..."
The honest truth. Leon would give what he believed he didn't have. Leon's life was a bitter circle. He is tempted by his own power to push himself further, losing himself in the bloodlust, blacking out in the excitement of combat. Only to wake up on a mountain of bodies, a river of blood, and the agonizing screams of his victims. In the time of his consciousness and understanding he comes to regret his actions and beat himself up for the blood that stains his soul.

She raised a single hand with a small shrug. "Sounds enough for me." Maybe her goal at the very end of this was to achieve justice on her parent's murderers but she knew that while reaching that goal and after it was complete she'd likely have new faces she'd like to protect. That is what her parents died for in any case.
"It's getting late for me, I'll see you all on a later day." She'd head out of the bar a little off kilter from her wounds. She hardly allowed those battle scars to hinder her from anything that needed to be done.

Allen would gesture at the bodies as Rhona left.
"And how's that working out for you?"
He'd not been one to shy from hard truths. He'd flex the fingers on his good hand, before looking at Rhonas back.
"I'm not sure I can be like you people. Maybe I'm too weak."

Leon would raise an eye brow.
"Well, you're not dead."
Then she'd sigh and shrug.
"Don't be like us. Be weak if you think you are weak. There are more ways to be useful and powerful without physical strength or the ability to wipe out an entire territory on your own. Some people are able to plot and ploy their way through others. Strategically place their pieces, others band together and call their bonds power. That is what you are here to learn. What is your purpose, not mine, not Rhona's, yours."

He let out a low hum, before turning to the door and walking out, without saying goodbye.
