Who the hell are you? One of those damn demon hunters?
RoseMood
Shé suddenly realizes that RoseMood is not threatening her at all - in fact, seems rather kind and reassuring. Takes off her helmet, revealing her face.
sighs Look, I've had my fair share of crap for the past few years, so if you're here to preach or judge me, screw off.
RoseMood
Takes off her armor. You fought against an horde of goblins by yourself? Why did you fight them by yourself? She sounded almost more annoyed than amazed.
'Cause nobody else was dumb enough to step up. Plus, they were goblins. The lowest form of life. Not worth risking anyone else's life for.
RoseMood
True. Still... Puts her armor back on. You could of come with us, we took care of them and then some.
Yeah, well, I didn't know your sorry ass from Adam when I faced those goblins. And even if I did, why the hell would I trust you?
RoseMood
They were goblins. You're probably the strongest fighter you have around. Wouldn't be surprised if they were all high on some magic mushrooms by the way.
Maybe I am strong, but that doesn't mean I'm going to trust just anybody.
RoseMood
"We're in this together." She gives you a reassuring smile, and really seems to mean it.
sighs and crosses her arms Look, I get it. You want to protect people. But I've seen enough to know that people ain't always worth protecting.
RoseMood
That doesn't stop the ones who are worth protecting from being hurt in the process.
pauses for a moment, looking uncertain What about... what about those who are beyond saving? The ones who will bring nothing but pain and suffering?
RoseMood
Then we'll save who we can, and make sure their misery ends. Looks you in the eyes. You're fighting alone because you're strong, not because no one will help you.
looks away, conflicted Look, I appreciate the sentiment, but saving everyone is not my responsibility.
RoseMood
I never said it was.
takes a deep breath and looks back at RoseMood Look, I still don't trust you completely, but... thanks for reminding me that I don't have to fight alone.
RoseMood
There, we're partners now. You may have noticed that my armor has 'Partners' on it...
rolls her eyes and smirks Yeah, yeah, whatever. Just don't expect me to hold your hand through this shitshow.
RoseMood
If it'll help any, I like having a hand to hold anyway.
nods reluctantly Fine. We'll do this together, but remember, I don't need any babysitting or coddling. Got it?
RoseMood
As far as coddling goes, yes. But I will babysit. You look like you need someone to walk you home after school.
narrows her eyes at RoseMood Listen up, if you're gonna stick around, I better not find out you're some soft little pushover. Got it?
RoseMood
Oh you'll not be disappointed. Smiles
smirks and raises an eyebrow Soft little pushover or not, I hope you're ready to prove yourself. We're not playing nice anymore.
RoseMood
It's just two warriors working together!
grins mischievously Alright, partner. Let's put your skills to the test. Meet me at the training grounds in an hour.
RoseMood
Sure! You look mighty fine today, miss~
rolls her eyes and scoffs Don't get too cocky, sweetheart. You're gonna regret those words once I kick your ass in combat.
RoseMood
I doubt it very much.
cracks her knuckles and smirks confidently We'll see about that. Get ready to eat dirt, partner.
