(OOC: Whoah, close posting. Let me finish reading Eva's and I'll edit it)
::Iole's thoughts respond to Kyran in what can only be called an assault::
There are a lot of things he would want. He would have wanted to see the world he fought for. He would have wanted to see more of it. He would have wanted to be one of the drunken idiots singing and drinking out there. They might as well be dancing on his grave for all they respect his sacrifice.
::Iole's face turns to stone as she stares back at Eva::
What is the right path? Haven't we been on it this whole time? If staying on it and fighting for the right things is supposed to make us happy, then why aren't we? Why are those of us who aren't dead left miserable?

(OOC-Kerion Kerion Kerion, show up please I have a few things to discuss with you lol) "Because we do things not expecting to get thanks for them..." ::Eva looked a bit tired as if the years of fighting caught up to her:: "There's a lot of things I question with what we do and sometimes there just isn't an answer for those questions but we do what we have to do...." ::Eva started laughing slightly:: "You asked yourself why are you doing this...whats the point of being a hero, why bother helping others if in the end your not going to be thanked for those things anyway or wind up miserable." ::She thought back to the Harvester incident and sighed knowing how much of an impact that event was for almost everyone:: "Iole, everyone has their own answers...answers that they sometimes have to find and figure out on your own....tell me....what was Ollie's answer on why he wanted to be a hero?"

He didn't. And to tell you the truth, I didn't want to be either. I just didn't know anything else. All he wanted was to make a better life for his people, and I just wanted to stay with him. I didn't want to be thanked. I just wanted him to be with me. That was all I asked. He didn't deserve that.
::Meanwhile outside, Nyx and Kerion are arriving at the flat::
Nyx: I'll go in first so she knows you're here.
::She shadows into the room::
Nyx: Miss, Kerion is here.
::Iole doesn't look at her::
I can't imagine what for. If he's looking for my forgiveness I already told him that ship has sailed. And if he wants to see me now I might very well kill him this time. I've killed point blank once today, it's not that far of a stretch.
Nyx: I believe he said he wanted to explain himself.
He shot me in the shoulder with his revolver. What is there to explain?

::He wenches hearing what Iole said, but that was before he heard Eva's fist clenching so hard, he was hearing her knuckles crack at Iole's response and gulps:: I'm getting the feeling I'm going to be in a world of pain.

*Before Nyx walked in*
::Eva laughed bitterly::
"We're so similar its almost scary...you really are my younger sister..."
::She sighed a bit::
"I didn't want to be a hero, heck I never even considered the concept...In a way I just got dragged into it due to who my father was."
::She walked around the room a bit::
"A part of me right now still don't want to be a hero...actually to be honest I don't consider myself a hero because I've mostly been fighting to protect the ones I care about."
::She then turned to look at Iole::
"He was fighting to make a better life for his people and to protect you...you were fighting just because you wanted to be with him...and no one would fault you for that....Iole you can make your own path in life. Call me optimistic I don't care....but i just don't think Oliver's going to be the type to go down that easy....he's been around us too much to go like that....your right he didn't deserve it but at the same time I think your just using your eyes and making an assumption...that could lead to one's demise..."
::Before Iole could as what she meant Nyx came in and was talking about Kerion::
Iole: "He shot me in the shoulder with his revolver. What is there to explain?"
::Eva clenched her fist tightly before heading outside::
"I know about his daughter situation....however.....Jas has neglected to tell me he actually hit you....."
::She stepped out the door::
"Iole....if your still frustrated....if you still not trying to understand what I'm saying about your heart or just frustrated in general...come find me, I'll be close by....I have something to show you and I would prefer to do that in private."
::She walked outside and saw Kerion who was looking more and more nervous by the second as Eva walked to him before she whispered in his ear::
"Don't worry I'm not going to obliterate you due to the circumstances...however..."
::She gave him a hard punch to the gut making him fall on the ground to his knee's::
"That was for shooting at her and hitting her...you could've at least tried to shoot past her...."
::She walked off towards a hill off in the distance::

((OOC: I recall Jas saying that he did take a shot at her.))
::The punch also knocked the air out of him, leaving him gasping as he clutched his stomach:: Well... That went better than I thought.
::He weakly gets back to his feet, his breathing still shallow::

::Hearing the argument outside, Sid re-enters where Iole's still sitting placidly seemingly indifferent to the struggle. He jumps a little when he notices Nyx leaning in the corner with her arms folded::
Sid: Exactly how many of your "friends" are planning on showing up?
::But Iole still has no answer::
(OOC: Yeah feel free to fight it out while Iole's still catatonic)

::After he gathered his breath, he got to the door and knocked, a signal to Nyx that he was still outside, waiting if it was alright to come in::

::Nyx gives Iole a meaningful look to which the girl simply shrugs. What could possibly upset her anymore than she already is?::
I don't care. Let him say what he has to. But it's at his own risk.
Nyx: What would you have me do if he grows troublesome?
::Iole thinks on it a moment::
Slice his legs at the kneecaps and make him crawl out.
::Nyx nods and goes to open the door::

::He nods at Nyx once he sees her in the open door before he steps in:: "I'm not here expecting anything. I'm just here to say good-bye."

Then say it and get out.

::He sighs before turning back to the door:: "This will be the last time you see me. You should know I'm taking a risk staying here just to say good-bye to someone who made it clear they never want anything to do with me again."

::He shakes his head:: "I want you to understand one thing Iole. There's only two people that I ever meant to kill in my life. I don't even take assassination jobs, all I ever taken was hunting bounties alive, anti-terrorism jobs and bodyguard missions, nothing more. So don't think I'm a heartless killer who'd sell out my friends for a quick buck."

You think I care what your reasons are?
::As Iole's anger rises, Nyx's fingers start to look twitchy, but Iole stays her with her hand. The girl rises out of her seat and looks Kerion in the eye, getting closer to him with each word. And though she stands about a head shorter than him, her eyes burn into him like an magnifying glance to an insect::
I don't care if it was for your daughter, for money, or for the cure for every grave disease on the planet. Whatever your reason is, it's clear that I can't trust you as readily as I thought I could because you aren't willing to trust us. And the only reason I'm not painting the walls with your blood and spinal fluid is because this is his house. But I will not suffer you pretending you had no choice and trying to justify your decision to kill me. To spit on everything he fought and died for by pretending you were trapped into a role you were handed. Not in this house. Now get out.

::He's not shaken by her words or her threat:: "Fine, I'll leave. I already said what I had to. ::Turns around:: Next time you might see me, I might be facing the death penalty by the same government you helped ushered in! Good-bye Iole, I had hope we part on better terms!" ::He slams the door behind him and walks away. But as got a few feet, he fell to his knees, clutching his heart:: Why does it feel like I'm hallow inside?

::Once he's gone, Iole falls back into her seat and buries her face in her hands. She's quiet, but her back shaking tells anyone watching that she's started crying again. Whether it's because of Oliver, or from exiling someone who had been her friend once from her life no one can be sure. This is far too much for someone so young to bear on her shoulders. Nyx just stands over her, unsure of what to do. She had protected her mistress numerous times from many different foes. But she had realized long ago that she had no way of protecting Iole from this. However, that didn't make it any easier for her to watch::
(OOC: Yeah safe to say she's not inviting him to any Costa Del Sol parties. Might be pretty cool to see a more long-standing grudge between a few of our heroes though)
