Laura watched her Meister move off with some puzzlement. Danger was unlikely now that her Shadow was gone, but... perhaps he had his reasons?

The girl made as if to follow him (it was only proper, as his Weapon), but immediately thought twice when her whole body protested. She braced herself against the wall, feeling, once more, the weight and pain of her injuries.

At least it was over.

Ash caught his breath, fixing his hat as he watched Armstrong head off. What was still out there? The second she leaned against the wall Ash was at her side, grinning lightly.

"Hey, you just got pretty beat up. Don't rush off to fast." he wasn't sure if she was the type of person who would push off help after a fight- but after seeing her take on the shadow he was pretty sure it was safe to offer.

"Here, you can lean on me if you need to?"

kidkittyclaws February 2 2010, 04:35:50 UTC

Laura nodded and allowed Ash to support her.

"You did not need to come."

She wasn't angry, wasn't sad... she was genuinely worried, in her own way, about why Ash had bothered. He could have been hurt, if things had gone poorly.

pkmn_hero February 2 2010, 04:40:38 UTC

"I know, but I had to."

He helped her walk a bit, glancing down at the ground. Ash wasn't really good at reading humans, even after knowing a person for years, but he could at least tell she was worried. He'd been too.

"Just in case."

kidkittyclaws February 2 2010, 04:41:45 UTC

Laura watched Ash for a moment with a fair amount of surprise. What he was saying, though... it made her...

"...Thank you, for that."

She smiled, in a way that she had never smiled before since her arrival in Death City.

pkmn_hero February 2 2010, 04:49:39 UTC

He blinked and looked up at her in slight surprise. When he helped people he knew they appreciated it, but really it was rare they actually vocalized it. Either because time didn't allow it or something else came up. So he felt a short blush cross his face and he turned to the side.

"It's no problem. That's what friends do, right?" He manages to offer her a bright grin.

"You're okay, right?"

Several metres away, Armstrong was listening to all of this with tears in his each. Such beautiful feelings his Weapon and Ash had together! The wonder of young love! The harmony of two souls coming together!

He stiffed, and brought out a pink handkerchief to dab at his eye. Ah, they grow up so quickly...

kidkittyclaws February 2 2010, 04:57:28 UTC

"I am much better now."

Laura tilted her head before peering up close and personal into Ash's face.

"Your cheeks are red."

...She was, of course, willfully oblivious to Armstrong listening in.

pkmn_hero February 2 2010, 05:06:14 UTC

"Ah!" He raised his free hand to rub at his cheeks, "Sorry." He paused there, normally not going into an explanation but after tonight. "I guess it's just weird to get a thank you sometimes. Especially for something like this."

Saving a town yes, but just showing up somewhere he may have been needed.

"...What your shadow said..."

kidkittyclaws February 2 2010, 05:20:24 UTC

Laura looked away at that, but not because she was ashamed anymore. She couldn't afford to be, and she knew it.

"It is true. I was a hired killer."

pkmn_hero February 2 2010, 05:29:33 UTC

It was an odd feeling; to know that the girl next to him had killed people because she had been asked. That she had enjoyed it. Looking at her now though, she didn't look like a killer. At least not what he expected one to look like.

"...why'd she call you x-23?"

There was no point asking about anything else; it was the past and even with what he'd seen; it was still hard to drag stuff up. He didn't want to put someone else through it.

kidkittyclaws February 2 2010, 05:30:50 UTC

"That was the code name that the scientists who made me gave me. They did not want me to have a human name. Human things got in the way of a job."

She did not like remembering, but she felt as though she owed Ash an explanation. As such, Laura resolved to tell him as much as he wanted to know.

pkmn_hero February 2 2010, 05:38:55 UTC

That struck something in the trainer, some...vague thought that never fully formed. He shook his head and made a resolution to never bring up the code name again.

"Well, you're Laura now. That's what matters."

kidkittyclaws February 2 2010, 05:41:22 UTC

"...Are you sure?"

Because the last thing Laura wanted was for Ash, her new found friend, to avoid her.

pkmn_hero February 2 2010, 05:52:03 UTC

"You bet."

He was a little weirded out by this new information; but Ash was never one to put a person's past actions to judgement. Laura was Laura as she was know. That's who he knew, even with the knowledge that she had murdered people.

It...just didn't seem to matter much.

kidkittyclaws February 2 2010, 05:54:14 UTC

"Thank you."

Laura paused at her own words, and chuckled just a little. She never realized that she could feel relieved after laughing. In fact, she can't remember the last time she had ever laughed, if she had done so at all.

"That is the second time I have thanked you today."
