"I suppose, seeing as I am here and all, talking to you now, that it shows you last statement to have some flaws."
He sighs and goes to take a seat close enough to talk to her.
"Listen, I'm plenty mad about this whole affair. Don't get me wrong. I'm in a real good position to dislike you a great deal. But . . . I don't know. You were speaking about that pacifism bit, and it sounded like you really meant it. I kinda get the impression that you might not be quite the . . ." *He makes incomprehensible hand gestures, clearly lacking the right word* ". . . that you seem to be when we met before."
His face has a genuinely questioning look on it, and he removes his cap, seeing little need to try to conceal himself anymore.

"In order to make a difference, you have to do things you don't like, and deal with the conflict that you feel later. I have seen you are dead-set on everything being wrong and immoral, fine. Think that way. I do differently." Looking at the lake, feeling her neck and frowning due to the lack of the animal usually there.
"Life is never how it seems hm? I'd think you would start to realize that as of late. Trapped in a world that you don't want to be in, well tough. Ive been in the same exact spot you are, in, and still am myself currently. You just have to deal with it and make the best when you are not.. 'working' at making a better change. I am not as heartless as it may seem."

"Ma'am, I don't question that you care. In fact, given the lengths you are willing to go, anyone can see that you seem to care more than the rest of the species. Don't you think I can't see that you care."
He rubs his face with his hands, weary from all of the running around and especially recent events.
"I don't think we are actually in the same position. I mean, I am certainly walking a lot blinder than you are in this from what I see. I gotta admit, other than my own powerlessness, I can't see to much ahead of my own feet in this fog."
He takes a look down at his knees, takes a deep breath, and finishes up his thought.
"I guess you could say I am out here right now 'working at making a better change.'"

When Achille approached the bar, one could easily tell that he was shocked, although he tried to hide it.
"Sean, a drink?"
Sean grabbed a shot glass, poured the alcohol in the glass and placed it right infront of Achille, on the counter. Then, he took Achille's credit card and withdrew a not slim amount of money.
"Ah, merci....I must applaud you on your sense of timing, old compadre, over that little debarkle. Member Gregar certainly makes quite the bouncer archetype, doesn't he? Commendable methodology regarding conflict resolution...""
"I hope you are okay. What's about Susan? She seemed a bit shocked...I was just about to jump across the counter, when I noticed Gregar, so I pushed the button instead."
"...Where did we find the man anyway? Omicron seventy-four? He's built like luchador with the finesse of Susan's python. When it comes to private security he's the difference between a cavalry charge and an armoured brigade, for love of Lucifer. And that, is quite an accomplishment, almost inhumanly so..."
"No idea. I know nothing about him, except his name. And he's always wearing this shady mask..."
Sean sighed and leaned on the counter.
"...Ah, whoa, well, see my friend? Dear compatriot Grengar... ahem, You are..." He rotated, facing the subject; "...A paradigm of your station, quite commendable."
Gregar was apparently not impressed at all, not by the man who was a meance to Achille some minutes ago and neither by Achille's reaction. All in all, he didn't even seem to be nervous or excited. That fact made Sean shiver.
After several seconds their conversation - altough it was more like a monologue - was over, Gregar turned away from Achille and walked back to his chair next to the entrace.
Achille turned back to Sean.
"Yes, quite a capable man, our compatriot, with traits to be admired..."
"...and a strange behaviour. However, he did what he was called for."
Achille emptied his glass and slid it over back to Sean.
"Thank you friend, may your wine-cellar continue to purvey such ambrosia."
"You're welcome. Next time you need a shot, just come around. And I'm speaking of alcohol, not an actual bullet", he said, chuckling a bit.
...
"...So my friend, how exactly flows the golden stream of life on the more tuggin' n' haulin' side of the Commonwealth's twin arms? Profitable, I hope?"
"Well, you could say that we certainly can afford more than just ONE glass of booze. *chuckles* How about our R'n'D wing? How's Kenji doing? I hope he's not only slicing things up?"

Playing with a small piece of her hair with a finger, she glances at him shortly. "Hmmph. I didn't expect you to have an outlook seeing the position you are in like that, almost to the point of calling you crazy because of that."
Standing up slowly, stretching her right arm as it had slowly fell asleep. "Later. I don't like public areas that are open like this, it seems there are a few things I should probally go over before the girl goes insane. And perhaps some explaining to do myself."
Walking up to him and standing near him for a second. "You had to see me when I was weak like that.. I am sorry. It won't happen again."

"Well, I might just be crazy, you did see at my own low point after all."
He stands up, brushing himself off some from the pseudo-natural ground he was sitting on. He nods at her final comment, a slightly relieved look on his face.
"Well, I will return, you know how to get in touch if and when you choose. Until then."
He makes his way out of the gardens and back to his ship.

The girl has her eyes closed, with an interested look in her face.
A few seconds later she jumped up with an annoyed look in her face, reopened her eyes and sprinted out of the dome.

-Sometime before-
Daerune had observed Susan when she had suggested he leave for a while though as she departed his company he sighed moving toward the hangers, how ever he didn't leave instead he was making a few trips from his ship to deck three carrying a few bags or equipment cases.

"Kenji is.... well..." Achille grinned in a semblance of thought. "...Well, no actually, he's still slicing into people. Currently we've got him down at the iso' suite, still running the spreadsheets of blisteringly disinteresting data extracted from that irritating Arlston type. NOX research and all that tirade; amusing until they vomit over your shoes.. Mind you, now he's done his service I'm still looking for an alternate replacement to continue the tests; Arlston's been stuck in a state of blissful serenity for a number of hours now, and I'm quite concerned at the possibility of him pis<expletive>sing himself or what-will-have-you. Ah, well..."
The bullet joke stung, not the least because of it's appropriateness, but Achille could take a joke. After all, it was in good taste, nothing was damaged, and the threat was gone. That in itself was a mercy.
"...It appears the wine isn't going to cut it, my Bretonian comrade. Indeed, I do concur with you on the subject of shots... Fire at me whatever you have friend, just ensure it's reasonably potent, suitably debilitating and won't blind me within a millisecond of it's consumption."

(08-07-2013, 10:30 PM)Ed- Wrote: " Well... " he replied skimming a faint gesture with his hands as if he was trying to plow his words from the air
" First and foremost, allow me the opportunity of presenting myself. My name is Robert d'Autoine. Head Councilor of the Commonwealth " he said twisting his hat as a gesture of courtesy
" And as you can see, we are nothing more than a zoner organization who make their living here and while at it, we try to sustain and develop our prosperity " he said
" But what about you, monsieur? " he inquired spreading his palm towards him " To what may I owe your benevolent presence at this exquisite time and place? "
// sorry for being late Ed, I had family problems and I also thought I replied ages back.
"Well, I'm a Bounty Hunter. The Names Lucius Ryder, but I go by the first name of Lux instead. I work for the Bounty Hunters Guild" Lux said as he leaned back in his chair. "I go hunting around here, killing the Outcasts and Pirates that try to ruin the Tau area".
Lux then straightened his posture and changed his tone to a more serious one, his face transformed it's expression into a a radically different form. You could see that his face was one of many memories and stories, it was worn from all the experience he had had, even at the age of 28.
"I know what you're thinking, that I'm just a Hunter without morals who kills for money. Well... I'm different. Kill to protect the people, to keep them safe. That is my priority and the money comes second".
He reverted back to being more relaxed, as if he had a split personality.
He said with a smile on his face combined with an eerie calm "So, Robert. Anything else you want to know?".
