"Yes, I heard from the radio, comrade. I vish ve could celebrate."
Sid is in the hallway leading to the kitchen of Oliver's flat, pacing back and forth, on the radio.
"No... vell she's as good as one can expect. I'm vatching her around the clock."
Pause.
"The flat? Few blown out vindows, lot of dust, and things scattered on the floor but in one piece. Yes... I know. Keep me updated, captain."
He shuts the radio off and walks back into the kitchen where Iole still cries. He stops at the doorway to watch her, her sadness stabs at him, so much pain in eyes so young. He slowly walks over to the table and takes a seat beside her, arms resting on the table.
"Iole...? Do you need anything?"

It was here.
::Iole says in a breathy voice::
It was right here in this room that I told him I'd protect him. It was the only reason I was here.
::The cheers from the outside float through the window as if to mock her::
What was it for? What was it for if he's not here to have what he fought for?

"Iole, he is here. He's making this happen, just as he alvays talked about. The Commitsar just declared Lindblum a new people's state, the var is ending. It's exactly as he alvays dreamed. Those cheers are for him, for vhat he fought and died for. He sacrificed himself to create a better vorld." Sid reaches over and rubs Iole between her shoulders, not that anything he could do or say would make her feel better, but at least he could try. The words to him, least make him think he feels better about the situation.

::She leans over and rests her head on his leg, too tired to move or say much else::
Sid... I know what he fought for... and I wonder if what we fought for and what we've created are the same thing.

"It must be, else he vouldn't have died for it." It's the only thing he could think to say, the situation was awkward enough for him without trying to anger Iole or say too much of the wrong thing.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZRWhAL1-1UI hope you're right. ::But there had been a double meaning in her words. Not only was she worried that the world Oliver had fought for might not be what they had hoped, the world she had fought for was never going to be. From the beginning she had fought for a world she could share with him. She hadn't cared what kind of world it was, so long as they could live in it together. And now that world had been hurtled out of her reach forever:: What about you? Are you going to live in this new world? Or are you still waiting for death?

::Eva landed outside where she followed Iole's hairpin at::
Looks like she's in here....somehow I wonder what her reaction would be....
::She sighed as her wings disappeared::
Wow....I can't believe I stayed asleep for so long...
::Her blade disappeared while she walked up towards the door, her red hair blowing with the breeze as she knocked on the door::

::Eva hears a voice on the other side as Sid calls to her::
Sid: It's open!
::When Eva lets herself in, she finds Sid sitting at a chair with his back to the table, and Iole slumped on the floor next to him, leaning her head against his leg. Both of them look tired and in no mood for celebrating. The fact that Iole hadn't sensed Eva's hairpin alone is cause for worry::

::Eva looked around taking a quick assessment of the room before closing her eyes for a brief moment::
.....she's heartbroken...she's grown up so much. I wish I was awake to see her grow....
::Eva remembered briefly of her own pain remembering about Dante's disappearance before she kneeled down next to Iole and placed a hand on her cheek::
"You've been through so much....you aren't the same little girl I've left anymore...."
::She smiled sadly::
"I have a feeling I don't have to ask what happened..."
::She wrapped her arms around Iole like she used to hold her::
"If you been holding it in...let it out....if you want me to hold you let me....I'll be your strength in this troubling time....you don't have to stay strong right now...."
::She then closed her eyes::
What is your heart telling you right now Iole....

That this is wrong. That all of this is horribly wrong.
::Sid reads the vibe and guiltily feels a little grateful that this newcomer is here. He'd run out of things to say a while ago::
I've done my crying. But now that it's over, I don't really know what happens next.

::Eva smiled gently and lifted her chin up::
You have to stay strong and believe Iole...if he is truly gone...you need to stay strong and continue going...not only for his sake but yours as well...
::A slight tear went down Eva's eye::
I'm not saying it'll be easy though...
::She gave a slight chuckle::
Somewhere still in my heart I believe he's alive somewhere...and I have a feeling yours may be saying that too...it may seem like a false hope....but there's always that small chance that it may come true...if thats the case wouldn't you want to remain strong if that is the truth?

Don't try to be optimistic with me Eva. My heart's what got me into this mess and it hasn't done me a whole lot of good since Natalia left.
::Eva jumps slightly hearing Iole say that name. Never in all the time she's known her as Iole ever refferred to Natalia as anything but Auntie::

::Eva gotten over the shock and shook her head::
"Your just like me in so many ways its shocking to say the least..."
::Eva frowned a bit ::
"Your right our hearts does get us into trouble sometimes...but you know something..."
::She let Iole go for a moment to cross her arms::
"You should never....EVER feel bitter about the choices you make...and you should never disrespect or feel resentment towards the ones who's helped you with those experiences."
::She sighed because she didn't want to take this route but she knew Iole had to hear it::
"You can't say your heart didn't do you a lot of good because if that was the case you would've never found the one you loved...and yes maybe I'm being optimistic but you know what....You can't and you shouldn't mope at all because of this because in a way it would be disrespecting the one who sacrificed themselves to save the one they cared and loved the most...how do you think he would feel hearing you talking like this?"

::Iole looks down and falls into the chair Sid had been occupying::
We.... we were supposed to see the world when this was over. And the next world. Now he's in other worlds without me, and I'm still here. I can fly but I can't reach him. What did we fight for Eva? Back when we were heroes and everything was simple, what did we fight for? It's so hard to see anymore.

::Eva sighed and looked down before looking up again::
"There's a lot of answers for that Iole....there's soo many answers that its not fair that there isn't one simple one."
::She looked out the windown with a sad smile::
"The closer you are to something, the tougher it is to see it...."
::She continued looking out the window moving a strand of hair from her face before turning back towards Iole::
"We fight for the one's we love....its still really simple. We fight for the one's we love and we fight for the world and dreams they believed in. The question is what do you want to fight for now? Do you want to let that dream go to waste? And who said he still isn't with you..."

I read Kenny's mind. It was a long time ago during the Harvester incident. There was something he wouldn't tell me, so I dug for myself. Auntie came to him twice when he needed help. Why didn't she come to me? Am I just meant to be alone? Is that why he's gone?

(OOC-Hehe all those times Iole has gotten away without a lick by Eva now's the time XD btw i'm in my ait class atm so don't be surprised if i log off soon lol i'll be back soon hopefully though I wont be leaving til 30 mins from now)
::Eva's eyes flared temporarily and her hair appeared to have a light flame to it as she walked over to Iole and gave her a slap::
"If I hear you say that again I don't care how old you are, I will be wooping your butt missy!"
::The look on Eva's face showed she wasn't messing around this time around::
"No one is meant to be alone and quite frankly....I'm hurt as well..."
::She frowned her anger is still showing though the flames seemed to be appearing more and more::
"I don't know why she appeared to Kenny but I'm pretty sure there was a good reason for her to....Your aunt loved you and you know what, you had people there to support you when you was down...don't tell me you've forgotten about that."
::Her eyes flared a little bit::
"How do you think I felt after seeing my fiance disappear before my very eyes? I know how you feel...but I'm still trying to stay strong til this day. The pain lessens...it won't go away...but just the same use that pain to be a stronger woman and continue on forward.....so that day you see him again you can face him proudly and say "I've stayed strong....""

(OOC: S'okay. I head off to work in a little over an hour)
::Iole holds a hand to her face, trying not to be bothered by the sting::
Are you sure you stayed strong? You didn't wake up on your own. Are you certain that staying in that block of ice was just so you could heal? Or did it become your escape?
::She glowers at her sister, the bitterness she's gained through this fight glaring through her dark stare. Eva looks like she's about to say something in her defense, but Iole cuts her off::
Tell the truth!
(OOC: It's uncanny how often she sounds like her Auntie almost as much as she resembles Eva)

[glow=white,2,300]Iole. Calm down.[/glow]
::Kyran's voice was heard in both of their heads::
[glow=white,2,300]I'm sure Oliver wouldn't want to see you like this.[/glow]

::Eva's temper softened slightly thought her eyes were still on fire::
"Yea part of me was still in mourning, and it still is...I told you, that pain doesn't go away..."
::She doesn't break eye contact with Iole though::
"Yes I had a moment of weakness before I went to sleep...."Should I try to escape the pain by staying in this ice forever?" but you know what stopped me."
::Her hair returned to its normal red color and her eyes went back to normal::
"I remembered everyone I cared about...and how hurt everyone would be if I was to disappear from the face of the earth....and Iole....your the one I never want to leave alone."
::She gave a slight smile::
"After all...what kind of big sister would let her little sister feel alone in a big scary world like this....or at least try to help her sister stay on the right path..."
