David watched her blearily.
"Your acting like the Dragons can't survive without me. We both know that isn't true...Olesya, Kazuya, and the rest...? They will get along fine."
He couldn't deny that what she said struck a cord, but unfortunately it might be too late. He had no desire to step back into the role, and even drunk, he couldn't see an ending with him coming out on top.
"As for you- Understand this. I don't give a shit about what Mathew, Leon, unfettered or anyone else feels about you. If he sees you as a trophy, good for him. I don't, and never did. I saw you as a woman I fell in love with, and made a dedication of my life to. I still do, I think. Yet, In response, you left me, came back and married a man I have called my enemy on more than one occassion- that doesn't feel too great. By all rights I should hate you for what you did to me."
He staggered back up and stared at her, eyes hazy and cheeks red from the liquor.
"I don't honestly care about whatever self deprecating excuse you want to concoct for why you left, whether it be about whether you were good enough, or whether the times were hard- I don't want to hear it. You and everyone else seem to constantly berate me for not taking control of my life, yet you make choices for me you think are best. Maybe thats why you left. Whatever the case, I sure as he'll aint gonna stand here and talk to the mother of Mathews children about why Im doing what I am...im fucking leaving, and I'm sure your husband is waiting for you to get home..."
Unknowing that the alcohol was really pulling the feelings about Bastille to the surface, he made the drunked choice to walk away, and not even considering flight, He would start to stumble down the road.

"OH NO YOU DO NOT!" She said grabbing his collar.
"I will not be responsible for killing you unless I ACTUALLY kill you!"
She grumbled and shoved him, trying to make him sit.
"SIT, STAY A WHILE- AND HERE!" She thrust a dusty water bottle into his hands.
"drink! I wont talk or make excused but you ARE NOT stumbling like a bumbling bafoon!"

As she grabbed him, wind would pick up around them as he clenched his teeth.
"YOU DONT GET A SAY IN WHERE I GO-!"
Unfortunately, she shoved him back, and he would stumble and fall rather than just sit- his head hit cement and out went the lights- he was way too drunk to take a hit to the head like that and keep going. David slipped into unconsciousness- and now his body was in Bastilles hands, or in the earths hands if she left him there.
OOC: He will awake in two hours

Bastille sighed. Stalking over him, she would pick him up the best she could and dragged him to a better hiding spot. Kneeling down she would sit and lay his head in her lap.....
In the past, she would have just left him. But being a mother changed her instincts. She would sit there for those two hours...drawing things in the dirt next to her......she'd started a rather elaborate dirt sketch of a stick cat as her other hands fingers stroked through the storm dragons hair.

Davids eyes opened slowly, looking up at Bastille as she was drawing in the dirt. He closed his eyes, still a bit drunk, and groaned, her fingers moving through his hair.
"You...didn't shave part of my head or something, did you?"
Regardless of her answer, she was showing she cared greatly for him, and he was sure he would have to pay for that sometime soon.

"forgive me but you sound disapointed...." She teased as her eyes stayed focused on the cat sketch. She sucked at art.......no imagination.

David eyes came open, watching her a moment before his eyebrows twitched.
"Bastille....why did you leave?"

" I could give you a million and one guesses.....but never an answer". She said in plainly...setting down her stick. " why did you?"

David was silent a moment.
"Because. Despite this....grand view of me everyone seems to have, in the end, I always fail, and I don't mean that as self deprecating. I failed as captain. Failed with you. Failed with Kiyr and Olesya, failed Maddie, and soon enough, the dragons. I won't have casualties be on my head. Everything has piled up an im...fed up, I think."
He sat up, a little dizzy, scratching the back of his neck.
"Someday, maybe, I'll understand what I did to make you run. Until then...we'll just keep it on my list."

"obviously i need to speak idiot...." She smiled and shoved him back down on her lap. " you probably have a concussion....here" she re-handed him the water and sighed, looking off and away. "Whatever it was that built itself up between us, IT WAS NOT YOUR FAULT..." She said clearly. "I may not have an answer...but even if I did...you wouldnt be it. Otherwise I'd have a hell of a lot easier time with this whole 'ex' buisness." She rubbed her cat out of the dirt and rolled her lips. "How DID you fail Olyesa and Kiyr again?....I thought you and Olyesa were getting pretty close from what I heard from the whispers"....

David grunted as she planted him back on her lap- a sigh. She always was a feisty one, commanding control. He would let her have it. It made no difference to him if he stayed there or sat up. He found it both comforting and...disconcerting. The comfort one out, so he just relaxed and took the water, taking a drink as she spoke.
"Well...to be honest, I think we made a great couple and would have. I don't see what other factor would force you to leave for several years and come back without seeing me, instead taking Mathews ring, unless I was the issue. Plus you...sorta wanted my beating heart in your hand when you first saw me."
He chewed his bottom lip a moment as she asked what happened.
"I feel for Les, yes. She and I grew close, and were nearly in a relationship but, she left, before me and her had even said how we felt. Out of the blue. For a long time. And during that time, Kiyr was on missions, in battles, and spent a lot of her time with me in general. It was bound to happen. Les came back and me and her got together but...once i told her about Kiyr, everything fell apart."
He took a deep breath, unsure of one thing.
"I hope you know, If Mathew makes fun of me for this because you told him, Im gonna be quite put out."

"I'll probably forget to tell him by the time our current fight ends..." She sighed and shrugged. "You forget...it started with you vanishing first.....then my sister almost shot me, Buck did shoot me...then I had unfinished family buisness and before I knew it, it had been three years and I was still just engaged. I had written letter, but they sucked...so i burned them. I didnt know what to say....I had nothing to say. I wanted to be back here...but I had a higher duty ...then, the bombs fell and honestly I thought all of you were dead. Unfettered found me in Germany, then I was back here. Then Mathew then I saw you....and I guess I was mad...." She trailed off....honestly thinking about it.

David shook his head only slightly, being on her lap.
"I...dont think it matters. Nothing can change anyway. Your married with kids. Im stuck with everyone shouting "your the one to lead us" until someone better comes along, and all of this was too long ago to remember clearly. And you thinking I was dead...was that why you wouldn't stop staring at me whenever you saw me? Like when I was spanking your husband?"
Obviously referring to the last time David saw Mathew, in that fight.

She nodded and shrugged. "Honestly, I hid in Europe, sure that Barker was after me...I eve dropped my identity for years..." She chuckled. " what did you do during that time, you couldnt honestly have thought me living..."

David eyed her for a moment.
"I thought you were alive. Your way too stubborn to die. I was sick for most of the time. Yay, cancer."
He would close his eyes.
"You ever wonder what it would have been like if things had turned out differently? If we actually had gotten married?"
