[Voiced / Filtered to Martel] fortunefail April 10 2009, 09:05:56 UTC

You're back.

[Filtered] martelandmany April 10 2009, 09:11:09 UTC

...I am.

[Filtered] fortunefail April 10 2009, 09:12:09 UTC

How are you feeling?

[Filtered] martelandmany April 10 2009, 09:39:32 UTC

[Somehow, no matter how he feels toward her, she can't not be open with Yuan.]

Empty. Alone... Weary. Weakened, though that's merely temporary.

[A pause, and when she speaks again, she's got almost a smile to her voice:]

Alive. I feel so incredibly alive...

[Then she remembers. She'd visited Yuan, as... as she had last been. She'd hurt him so terribly. The smile fades completely, and if you could see her right now, you'd see her absolutely distraught.]

Yuan, I'm so sorry. Those things I said to you... I'd never-...

I was a monster.

[Self-loathing and Martel are rarely ever in the same sentiment, but that last sentence? Completely thick with it. She couldn't stand that, even as a blood-sucking creature of the night, she'd allowed herself to say those things to him.]

[Filtered] fortunefail April 10 2009, 13:44:08 UTC

[He can't stand to hear Martel talking like that. She may not truly be his Martel, but she's close enough to have the same effect on him as Martel Yggdrasill would have.]

I know. I know you'd never say them. You probably wouldn't even dare to think them.

[Filtered] martelandmany April 10 2009, 19:07:26 UTC

[She's even closer now that she's lost all those extra souls. But she doesn't count that as a good thing.]

I'm sorry...

[Filtered] fortunefail April 10 2009, 19:19:39 UTC

You shouldn't apologize for that. You weren't yourself. Even if you were...

[If Martel were able to see him, she'd notice a quick shake of his head, here.]

Anyway, I don't think anyone blames you for the things you said.

[Filtered] martelandmany April 10 2009, 19:34:16 UTC

[Softly:] I still regret them.

[Filtered] fortunefail April 10 2009, 19:40:34 UTC

I don't think there's anything I can say to change your mind. You were always stubborn like that. Just know my respect for you hasn't diminished.

[Filtered] martelandmany April 10 2009, 19:49:14 UTC

[She... was always like that? He must be referring to his Martel. Is this progress? It sure looks like it.]

I thank you... That means a great deal to me.

[Filtered] fortunefail April 10 2009, 20:00:54 UTC

[It was actually a slip-up because both Martels look and act exactly the same. But it could just as well be seen as progress.]

Hm...

[Filtered] martelandmany April 10 2009, 20:07:40 UTC

... [Oh, a sudden question comes to mind, after a minute, so:]

Have you... been to visit Kratos, yet?

[Filtered] fortunefail April 10 2009, 20:30:05 UTC

Not since I helped carry him to the clinic. He looked like he could use all the rest he can get, so I'm not about to offer him a distraction.

[Filtered] martelandmany April 10 2009, 20:41:19 UTC

[A shake of her head, though he can't see it.]

It's distraction that he needs, Yuan. He can't see nor hear. It must be so lonely...

[Filtered] fortunefail April 10 2009, 20:47:13 UTC

[He'd make a snarky remark about Kratos not listening to him either way, but he feels that after what happened, he owes the guy a bit more credit than that.]

I'm sure there are people he'd rather have by his side.

[Filtered] martelandmany April 10 2009, 21:13:09 UTC

Nonsense. He'd appreciate the visit, I'm certain of it. [Watch Martel get stern, fast.] I shouldn't have to beg you to visit a friend, Yuan.
