It was a great day, the sun was shining, he'd killed around 900 people the day prior and vented some much needed stress. Plus, he didn't have to wear that stupid mask anymore. The secret was out, so he would just enjoy himself. Meaning he was wearing nothing but a speedo and catching some rays in the middle of the courtyard.
Feels so good.

What she had done was checked the infirm not for herself but for someone else she wondered why he hadnt been in the battle. She wondered where he was. Why? They were not partners anymore. And he pissed her off calling her low and tainted. She'd sooner laugh at the fact he got his ass handed to him dead or not that rush to his bed side feeling remorse.
So why? Why was she looking for Eric to see his smug face?
She didn't have an answer. She'd not know what to expect if only she just knew the answer. He was never good at giving them to her. It be just like him to go MIA than to find a body just to laugh at her while heading to the afterlife.
After finding some dead ends she left to the court yard and the whole place was a buzz about The Earth Dragon, Ares, Matthew Amtrum fellow returning to Cabal. She knew of him but the monuments in his name hardly looked like him. With the gawking crowd she decided to take a look herself. She approached them and crossed her arms rising her Qi sense as others blocked her view she noted his familiar signature and thought him monist the onlookers. They both had earth Qi it made senses they'd connect. But she pushed to the inner circle "Eric, where in bloody blazes were you in--? and only saw that Dragon in his speedo. Confusion sewn on her face.

For the most part, he ignored the gawkers unless they got in the way of his sun. A few had tried but so far a stiff glare was enough to drain the blood from their faces and have them step back. Then a familiar voice called out to him, or at least, who had been him while he was playing his last game. He'd turn to face Avice.
"Yes, Avice?"
Finish your question.

She'd not finish her question just look at him as if he was growing a butt on his forehead. It felt really crowded and she'd turning to everyone bursting out her anger and frustration.
"Oi! The lot of ya move, train, protean, whatever ya lumps do go and do it else where!" slowly they dispersed and gave her the worst of glances and bitching but she'd not care.
She looked back at him aware but not and sure but not. In not but his speedo she saw other things that checked out. The tattoo, the Qi, that scar of which remained fresh from the day he said those terrible things to her.
She held up a metal finger. "No... You... I cant." she couldn't put words and that frustration caused her to exasperate a growl and kick a near by table. "Ya fuckin' cock! The biggest fuckin' cock to walk the Earth! So big ya can go fuck yarself a hundred times over!"

"I'll take your word on it's size. I've not had an interest to compare."
He'd say, shrugging as he continued to enjoy his sun.

He didn flinch or deny it she kind of wanted it to not be true. But it was true and she had no idea how to handle it.
"Why the fuck were we even paired as partners?!" she gripped the back of her head and squeezed it before throwing her arms forward unable to comprehend any of this? Was she even mad? Yes she was but what was she made at? She felt like a fool. She felt tricked and stupid. She breathed low and slow "I just don't get it..."
She was livid and had more questions than answers.

"Obviously I need the truth! Do not play me another moment... If ya 'ave an opinion then great let me 'ear more of 'ow ya think considering we 'ardly got that chance before." she flopped in the picnic table and crossed her arms again.

"If you want the truth then ask Leon why he assigned you to me. I had nothing to do with it."
He'd say with a small roll of his eyes.
"And despite what you may think, I've never lied to you. I am the most honest Dragon you'll ever find. My opinion on why you were assigned to me is because your Qi was underdeveloped and I am an expert when it comes to drawing out Qi and more importantly shaping them. My methods take some time, and it was not the path that we went down. But we all walk out own paths."

She'd not justify her means to him again. Maybe he was right but she'd look away from him at the mention of it. Half certain something she did was made a wrong choice while not a choice she regretted it was still some door that was slammed in her face.
"Aye, my Qi was and is underdeveloped. But s'pose ourselves were not put into factor when paired." she shrugged. She gritted her teeth and the tension rippled in her cheek muscles. "Even if I thought it would..." she thought about her next words. Would it have bettered them as a team or did it just better her?
"I didn't want ya to carry me. I just wanted te stay independent on me own strength. I was offered that by 'im." Him being Leon. She was in that battle yesterday and spread word of danger but was that enough to say she helped someone live? She didn't trust anyone to watch her back, never had. "I first said I was afraid to 'old ya back but I see that might 'ave been me foolin' myself to not sound as selfish as I am truly." she'd off hand admitted this much. Maybe she did do something wrong and maybe she was just now realizing it. "Fine though I'm Tainted, selfish, and a fool." but she understood what he meant that day and why he lost respect for her.
Did she still think she made the right choice coming to these truths? She questioned herself and this was why she drank. Thinking too much and questioning the way of survival she's lead wasnt something she dealt with. Her cold eyes looked off in the distance as pieces came together and she came to terms with her lot in this.

He just sighed.
"You are fixated on that single word. Tainted."
He'd heard her mention it a few times now he felt. It was like she didn't take in what he was saying and just latched on to a word.
"Do you actually care what I think? Or are you just word vomiting on me because you need to vent?"

She adjusted herself pulling both legs up on the bench seat. Propping her arms on her raised knees. She didnt look at him she wasnt even faced towards him now.
Her brows furrowed and her lips pressed in a thin line. He cracked her open and she would usually have said "No fuck you!" and some manor of other things. But clearly it did bother her and she was here at this place unable to escape to the next city and brush it off.
She was facing what she did to herself and others staying at Cabal.
It was a long silence before she'd give him some answer. It was very forced and very quiet. "Maybe I do..." she shrugged trying to be neutral about it when she is. "Look! People think ill of me a lot and I can only brush it off before I have to either I leave it or face it. And most often... I leave it. I gave the partner thing a try and I fucked it up!" her voice rose again but not much. Forcibly trying to put words out that are more truth than slamming the door and walking away.

"If you think you fucked up, what are you going to do about it?"
Jesus, it was like having children all over again.

"Just go at it alone. Even keep turning down that Allen bloke... He is annoyingly insistent that I have friends and a partner."
Just basically feel it isnt for her and leave it at that.
