It's strange to think you were there at a time when I was there also.

[silenziosa_odio]

...Why is that?

[lenfantperdu]

Because...it is. I don't know why. We could have known each other or...I don't know. I may have still been alive then...

[silenziosa_odio]

Does it matter? We are together now...*runs a hand over Arsene's cheek.*

[lenfantperdu]

*smiles a little at the touch*

And I am happy. But...don't you ever wish there was someone still on this earth who knew you...before?

[silenziosa_odio]

.....*looks a bit....sad*

There isn't anything to know about before.

[lenfantperdu]

*runs his fingers though Percy's hair in a soothing gesture, kissing his forehead*

I would have still liked you then.

[silenziosa_odio]

I was a different person.

[lenfantperdu]

So was I.

It doesn't matter.

[silenziosa_odio]

Do you really think that?

I hate what I was... *Lo and behold, Arsene, he is actually sort of talking!*

[lenfantperdu]

*O.M.G.*

Why? *pets him a little more*

[silenziosa_odio]

I was weak...I was nothing...

*Broken, more like.*

[lenfantperdu]

*small kiss* It's hard to think you were ever like that.

[silenziosa_odio]

I killed someone...*still soft*

someone I wish I hadn't...

[lenfantperdu]

*wants to refrain from asking why again...he doesn't want percy to get annoyed and stop talking*

Tell me, please.

[silenziosa_odio]

That first person I killed...his name was Luca, brother of Lord Giovanni. 1526...Venice.

I killed him, and everything that was redeemable died. *stares at the wall in front of him.*

Sometimes I still feel weak.
