Where Will You Go?

[sou_kigetsuki]

Who: Sou "Kit" Kigetsuki, and anyone who happens to cross his path.
What: Sou's recovery was a swift one that wasn't without consequence.
When: After the Shadow Event
Where: Cafeteria.
Format: Prose but I'll match.
Warning: violence (tentatively)

Sou pretty much had forced himself into one of the fastest recoveries from a broken ankle ever by putting a bullet in his own head. He wasn't about to let anything stop him and he certainly didn't want anyone's help or pity.

Like the natural actor he was, he pretended that nothing bothered him. At least publicly. He raised his brow at the display of energy bars and it reminded him sorely of those bars he had back at the lab during his refinement which brought to the surface terrible memories of the harsh experimentations he endured.

It was almost disgusting how the Administration would think that they are nothing more than rats and even worse, he was starting to see the big picture. It was enough to make him lance the festering wound of discontent and maliciousness through violent action. His hands at his sides in tight fists, the heat in the general area of about ten feet was becoming increasingly unbearable.

"STOP MESSING WITH ME!"

That was going to be hard for her to talk about, since the Shadow event, but if he really wanted and answer, she wasn't going to hide it completely. She wasn't even sure how much her other self had spilled to him. She noticed his expression briefly, wondering maybe she should have just said it from the start. She was used to correcting herself, that it seemed generally like second nature to her.

"Earth. I'm from a place called Earth too, only I think it's a little bit younger in the time line. There's a lot of vegetation, carriages, and horses. People used to say that my world sounds like a fairy tale story book and all."

She replied rubbing the back of her neck, "Ah, yeah," she replied nodding her and following suit after him.

She blinked, "Omit? Oh....well," she paused a moment assuming that he meant by that? She wasn't sure if that was what he was asking, but decided to answer anyway, "It's complicated. I guess whatever I was going to say wouldn't mean anything because I'm not really really who I'm suppose to me, if that makes any sense? If you really want to know, I can tell you," she replied realizing that she had a made a mistake by fixing her speech.

Ishtar's omission wasn't really the issue. It was trusting her that he was having a problem with. If she didn't trust him enough with the truth, he felt there was no point in continuing the charade. "At least there's one point in common about our place of origin as Earth."

Sou stepped up to the door and opened it. The air leading into the hall was much cooler than inside this half-baked room that had mostly melted from his irate display. "Yes, I would like to know. I revealed to you who I am, and if you deem it fair to tell me in kind, I would appreciate it."

Ishtar had suffered a couple of trust issues on her way here, so it was natural that she would be hesitant about it, but he did have a point. She nodded her head.

"Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt," she replied with a sad look, "I grew up in a castle. At least, that's what my memories told me, but I'm not really who I think I am. With that put aside, I guess one thing people would usually call me at home would be princess. I was the one to inherit a throne to my country," she shrugged. That idea seemed to be foreign now that she didn't believe she had a place anymore. She was a clone after all.

That was something to get over, "There's a lot of things that came along with being a princess, and that included fun attempts on your life," the word 'fun' was almost said sarcastically as she stepped through the door, "It's not really special. I don't really know who I am anymore," she replied offering him a smile, "I'm sorry...I'm used to keeping things like this a secret. It's not something I should be telling people, according to my guardians."

There was a serious look on her face as finished, "I guess it's fair that you know who I am and where I cam from, because you have told me about yourself," she replied looking back at him. She started to walk a little faster, "Let's go find the flowers," instead of talking about depressing things.

The mention of the castle and her guardians along with the mixed message that she wasn't who she believed she was made an odd impression on Sou but not that theses things mattered anymore. He was just wanting a bit of insight to the people he was dealing and it wasn't about personal gain this time.

His expression changed from suspicious to calm. It was a lot more comforting to him now that he was seeing a better picture. The mention of finding the flowers made him smile calmly. "I only agree to going with to find them is only because I am with an enchanting person. Thank you for that."

Ishtar wouldn't stop to explain it to him if he asked any further about the confusion, but clearly she was not going to talk about the subject too much. Ishtar waited for him to say something as she stopped walking for a moment. She was glad that his expression did change for the better. The small tense feeling she was having a few moments ago dissipated a little.

"Haha, now you're just flattering me," she replied softly with a small laugh. Ishtar didn't brush the friendly comment aside, but she wasn't too affected by it either. She just walked on forward now with small steps, "You're welcome I guess?" she finished and continued walking. He was a truly strange but interesting guy.
