Basch had had a few other dance lessons with the princess Natalia, and even though he had improved through them, he was hardly able to dance well. And so they had decided to meet yet again. Though Basch had a feeling that Natalia was tiring of dealing with him. Having made his way to the designated place, almost the same as the last time, but it would be in a different part of the warehouse, Basch felt his feet slow as he walked
( ... )
Jade heard steps behind him. Or thought he did. Everything was so muffled and distorted and he wasn't sure that it wasn't his imagination.
He briefly wondered if he was dead, if it was Nebilim coming for him. But through the numbness, he felt cold. And he didn't think the dead could feel cold.
Could it be another God-General? He tensed. A familiar voice broke through his racing thoughts. A voice that sounded distorted to his ears, a voice that he couldn't place. What was it saying? Natalia? Something about Natalia? What about Natalia?
"Leave us alone..." was all he managed to whisper in response.
Watching the man before him, Basch saw him tense up, wondered what he might do. Grief could make a man do strange and unexpected things. He almost didn't hear the whispered words, but caught them. Barely.
"..." What did one say to that? Moving closer behind Jade, Basch let his blade drop to hang at his side, loose in his right hand.
"I am sorry for your loss." the typical response to a situation like this, "Are there any more casualties?" the next part was asked after a slight pause. He hated to seem like he didn't care, but if danger still lurked one could not bother to let the dead stop them. It was times like this that Basch felt like he was heartless. War and fighting changed a man like that.
The question hit right into Jade's military training, and without even thinking, he choked out an answer: "One Kimlascan male... One Daathic male... I killed them."
