[Voice // Private to Terra]

[chaoticelement]

Terra, dear, a word with you if I could, in private.

What do you want?

*really needs a srs bsns face for Kefka*

[chaoticelement]

[When he speaks, there's an odd quality to his voice, there's something there that has never been there since his infusion; seriousness.]

I have a bit of a confession to make, Terra. You're right to distrust me, Terra... the truth is, you killed me. You and your friends. The last thing I can remember is you striking me down, just before showing up here.

And though you may not believe me, and you would have every right to, I can think clearly now. For the first time in ages, I can feel something other than an all consuming pain and hatred... and I have you to thank.

However... I ask that you keep this conversation between the two of us if you would... I would like to keep the charade of time distortion up for a little longer... it helps to ease the mountain of guilt that has come crashing down on me...

The weight of all those innocent lives... my best friend, my Emperor... I... it's almost too much to bear...

*will look for one*

[esper_flight]

...why didn't you say this, when I found you earlier?

*has no more room for one T-T*

[chaoticelement]

Because... as much as it shames me to say, but... I was scared you may not believe me... and strike me down yet again...

[esper_flight]

Is there any reason why I ought to believe you? You've done nothing but lie to and manipulate everyone. The past is not on your side.

[chaoticelement]

Quite frankly, Terra? No. There isn't. And you have every right to disregard what I say, but I felt the need to both apologize for everything, and thank you for freeing me from my torment.

I've already seen what happened to Edgar, and have been attempting to locate him ever since. You have my word that you will be the first to know if I find anything. After all I've put you through, it's the least I could do...

[esper_flight]

No. Leave Edgar out of this. He won't thank you for finding him and neither will anyone else.

[chaoticelement]

You misunderstand me, Terra, I intend to locate him, and then inform you as to where he is. I will not attempt to rescue him myself, primarily because of the reaction I'm sure it would illicit from him.

[esper_flight]

And how do we know this isn't an attempt to lure us into a trap?

[chaoticelement]

To be honest? You don't. But, I would think that the prospect of saving your friend would be enough for you to at least trust whatever information I'll provide.

[esper_flight]

...I'll never trust you.

[But there's a soft defeated sigh, knowing she can't stay away if there's a chance Edgar is returned and needing their help.]

[chaoticelement]

That's quite alright, dear... I wouldn't expect you to...

I appreciate your willingness to speak with me about this though...
