"Oh..." 

She laughed bitterly 

"No. No I don't feel badly for you. I understand being cheated by the world, and I get how horrific the fear and rejection can be. But that does NOT give you the right to belittle and harass others. Oh, you can do this whole pitiful routine now, playing the victim, but that doesn't change the fact that you're just trying to guilt us into feeling badly for you, when not five minutes ago you called us all the same...when you implied that all humans are ignorant asses who hurt others. You don't wish to be stereotyped and yet you do the same to us. How can you be given a chance when you won't even give one to the people who, might I add, you summoned here with no context? We have no idea why we're here or what you want with us, of course we're scared and angry. What else would you possibly expect!?" 

".. Heh. Pitful routine now?.. Please...you don't understand a single thing about how cold the world is.. you don't understand how it feels to be thrown out of your own kind because of something like, oh I don't know-Trying to be with humans?...I apolgize for "Trying to guilt you", Or, "Not giving you a chance"-But do you have any idea how many chances I have given to every.. single person.. That's been brought here?... Why do you think you've been brought here?.. I've given the ones who I've never been able to see a chance."


"But tell me this, Human. Have you seen fear itself before?.. Have you ever been so scared for your life, you haven't been able to unsee what your death should've been?... Trust me, believe this is another thing you call guilt-tripping, but this is a question for the both of you.. but despite this.. you still think I only see you humans as ignorant. And I bet you still do, I don't care. I apologize once again for making you feel scared and upset.. and I try to do what I can to make sure you aren't, and you believe your sooo right-... You will know soon enough.. I try to never scare you humans-"

With a slight "snarl" in his last words, his head tilted slightly down-Back still turned from them both-

". . . I never try. And yet I somehow still succeed.. One, more, question for you both.....When has it been since you've experienced a true pain...not a paper cut-Nor a light wound-......An excruciating pain you can never heal... not from being ripped away from only your home, but the enjoyment of life itself-....When has it been since you've been able to feel that feeling...has it been today-Today where you've finally seen me at my weakest?.. Or has it been some time in the past, that only made this day so much worse.. What is it?.. Can you even describe it?"

"...HF-" 

Penny buried her face in the woman's shoulder, shaking badly. The other woman froze in place, trembling as both were clearly racked with thoughts...with memories- 

?: "You...you can't just ask us something like that-" 

"...Can't I now?...You told me all I ever have done to you humans was assume.. harass.. torment.. you all for something I can never get without asking for something like this....   Have you ever felt.. broken from the world.. felt as if your own kind, your own friends and people...never wanted you here to begin with?"

Finally, he had turned himself to them both...but instead of the face of sadness or anger...It was just...a blank expression...

"...Have you ever been hurt by your own loved ones?.. Not just by words, but by being impaled with a level of pain so horrific.. not even the gods would be able to handle it, but you've been forced to feel every single second of it because you just can't for the love of god D i e ?....That's...what you've constantly reminded me of, Humans. That's what you reminded me every day and night, because of something I can't ever be honest with before you all decide to hate me...I'll tell you this, you two...It's horrible. Feeling every inch of a almost-molten metal being drove threw every skin, every muscle...it's an incredibly awful feeling...you will n e v e r  . . . understand this pain...you would just die to quickly...But trust me... your little stories...You think after telling me once I'm done speaking, I'll feel remorse for you. Just how you won't for me... Just how you demanded me to get away from Penny because of something you haven't ever been able to see with your own eyes...  I ' m  o n l y  t r e a t i n g  y o u  t h e  w a y  y o u  t r e a t e d  m e . . ."

"N-Nnnn-S-STOP!!!" 

Penny's anguished cry rang out through the forest, lifting her head from the woman's shoulder and looking at them both with big, tear-filled eyes 

"S-STOP IT!!!

"...."

"....."


"...I may have.. taken my words a bit too far.. -sigh-...I'm.. sorry you two... I've just..-"

Okay look, as much as he would LOVE to keep up his little act and what not-But look-He hated seeing people cry. He can be, REAL sadistic, don't get me wrong-But he is for the love of god sometimes someone who is just, NOT the one to let people cry. At least people he hoped would be, yk, friend. Point being, He slowly brought his hand against Penny's cheek, of course though-Moving it of after moving her head slightly up-.. He, really.. really didn't want to startle them anymore than he already did.

"... I apologize deeply for what I've forced you to be reminded of.. I can't even keep my own promises.. my own things of hate-.. And I'm completely fine with that... but I will keep my promise to.. make sure you 2 are okay.. Penny.. I apologize for making you listen to me bicker on and force you to listen to the cruel things in this world.. As for you.. I....I still need to get your name-.. I'm...I'm sorry for being so, so rude to you.. You were only doing what was right.. worrying for someone who you thought was endanger.. I apologize for making you be reminded of horrible things you've had to go threw yourself.. and I apologize for the way I've acted...to the both of you."

"M-Mph-" 

Penny looked up at him and forced a lil' smile through her tears, sniffling softly 

"i-'s ok-....I-I-'m ok-" 

?: "I...I won't say it's alright, but I appreciate your apology-and I apologize as well...some of my statements towards you were a bit harsh.....my name is Rose. It's a pleasure to meet you, both of you."  

".. I understand, I didn't expect you to say so.. I've.. been nothing but rude to you from the very start.. It's nice to meet you as well-Rose.. And Thank you for that-I honestly.. wasn't expecting you to respond in that way..-"

Of course, that didn't mean he wasn't STILL trying to comfort Penny-....Look he was now hugging her. Okay?.. He had shifted himself around slowly as he spoke, now letting her sit on his...erm.. lap?....Eh, point being slight comfort hug.

".. And I'm glad your okay, Penny.. I'm sorry again.. to the both of you, I never wanted to scare you two.. I promise I never wanted to-I-I just.. snapped at the moment.. But, Rose.. please-Don't think they were harsh.. they were more, more than reasonable..-"

"M-mn-" 

Penny turned her face in towards his chest, hiding in it a little. Rose leaned back against a tree trunk, watching the two of them with a small smile 

R: "Still...there was most likely a kinder way I could've phrased it...I can be a bit-blunt...." 

(1 edit)

He looked back at up to Rose, a light smile slowly slipped onto his face-And well.. he held out one of his arms to her, his once VERY tensed up posture-Was FINALLY just a relaxed one. OH, and he was also having his.. well what SHOULD'VE been his upper back, buuut he's also like-6'5 the way he was then, so-MIDDLE OF HIS BACK-....Point being he was also leaning against a tree nearby-Still of course, offering hug to her- TvT

".. If I have to be honest, being blunt suits you.. I mean lets be honest.. does being blunt mean you were wrong?.. Come on, I know you want to sit down-I have 2 arms you know."
