"Im worth about thirteen billion dollars. I have a brother named Damien, he might be dead. I have a brother named Aaron, also probably dead. I hate running this place. I hate the responsibility, like a chain. I have four pennies I keep between the mattress of my bed because my grandpa told me bed bugs love copper. I've been engaged before, senior year of high school. I own fourteen houses. My favorite color is green despite my elder color being what it is. I wear reading glasses when no one is around- helps ease my headache. When I was twelve my grandma died while on a boat. My grandpa and I fished for four hours before we noticed. I-"
"That's not what I meant about being honest! You-!"
She cut off, gritting her teeth as he tore her down the way she'd torn him down moments before. She didn't like being given her own medicine, and when he said those words again, she felt her heart melting and she fought to keep her walls closed off. One word made her blood turn to ice.
"Married?!"
She asked when he shook his head.But he was on a roll again, telling her he was leaving for two days and telling her to pack as he turned away. Olesya clenched her fists, looking down at her feet before glaring up at his retreating figure.
"What's her name?"

David stopped, his heart dropping even lower. He slowly turned back to her, and stared for a few moments.
"So...I tell you Ill be leaving so you can pack, and...the only thing you care about is her name? Wha...?"
David shook his head before turning around and rocketing into the sky, the sun at his back as he headed east, toward Nevada, not looking back.
OOC: Unless pursued, /David's exit. No exp for the short fight as it wasn't long enough.

Olesya opened her mouth to protest, but David turned around and took to the sky. She stepped forward, about to kick off the ground after him, but her jackets were at home still, as she had stormed out while still in her tank top and sweatpants...his sweatpants...she couldn't fly.
"Vilg!"
She cupped her face in her hands, trying to steady her breathing before running them up through her disheveled white hair. She took the long way home, needing to calm herself before she faced Maddie. An hour ago they'd nearly been a happy family. It was amazing how quickly things could change.
Olesya walked into the house, catching sight of Youichi lounging on the couch, watching Maddie play with her Earthen unicorn on the carpet. The assassin looked up at Olesya with raised eyebrows. Les shook her head, taking a deep breath before bending down to talk to Maddie.
"Hey Mads? Im going to need you to pack up some of your things. We're going to go stay somewhere else for a bit."
Maddie looked up at her with her big hazel eyes, eyes that reminded her so much of her family, and of herself before the chemicals disfigured her retinas.
" Why?"
"Uh, well. Looks like David needed to leave for a couple days."
She paused, wondering if she should lie to Maddie about what happened between David and herself. She decided that Maddie at least deserved to know the partial truth. There was no sense lying to her because it would come out eventually.
"David and I got into a fight, and we decided that maybe we've been spending too much time together. We just need our space, it's-"
"IS IT CUZ OF ME?!"
Maddie's eyes began to water, and her little voice turned shrill. Olesya's eyes widened suddenly, and she reached out and hugged the young girl close.
"Shh, no baby, it's not because of you. You're fine, you're absolutely fine. David and I have known each other for a very long time, and sometimes grown ups just don't get along sometimes. It's no one's fault, okay?"
Almost no one's fault.
"You're probably going to wind up spending some time with me, and some time with David. Do you want to come with me now while he's gone?"
Maddie nodded, sniffling. Olesya could feel the tears on her shoulder, and she cursed the Storm Dragon because their fight not only hurt themselves, but hurt the little girl Olesya had come to see as her own daughter.
"Okay then. Pack some clothes and some toys. We're gonna go pick out a house today, okay?"
She kissed the little girl on the forehead, forcing a smile on her face.
"Now go pack, we have a long exciting day ahead of us."
Once Maddie disappeared into her room, Olesya looked over to Youichi, who had been watching them silently the whole time. She had her arms and legs crossed, a mildly concerned look on her face.
"Exciting, huh?"
She asked, referencing Olesya's attempt of placating Maddie. Les's frown deepend. She climbed back to her feet, dusting herself off. She couldn't meet Youichi's eyes.
"You can't make someone be in your life who doesn't want to be there."
She said, the dejected tone in her voice. She shrugged her shoulders, retreating to her room to pack what few possessions she had.

OOC: Sounds good :]
Meanwhile, Near the outskirts of groom lake, Nevada
David landed roughly- a very unsmooth landing for the Storm Dragon. He stumbled and fell into a roll before sliding along the buildings roof. He came to his knees shakily, gasping a little, ignoring the shouts of soldiers from below. A single year hit the roof before he sniffed and sat back on his haunches, wiping his eyes.
"Why....Why would she treat me this way? Like I betrayed her. Ever time I fuck up, every other fuck up I've ever done she throws at me. I'm SICK of it. Sick of her. Sick of them. I... I want out."
A small sigh came from her.
"I know, David. Just....just a little longer." She paused. "What will you do now?"
David slowly came to his feet, arrows flying by his head, redirected by the wind around him.
"Now, my friend, I am going to kill everyone here. All of his soldiers he left behind to leech off the technology of the old world. When Im done, I'll wander for a while. And when I return....we will face her together."
His weights hit the roof with a loud, solid thunk, just before he jumped off the roof toward the men waiting below.
