[ Char can be found in the hangar... again... this time looking at the RX-78-2 Gundam. While his Zeong was at the far end of the hangar, Char was leaning over the rail, his arms folded over one another, looking at the White Devil. The machine that had killed so many of his comrades in the Principality of Zeon, and had taken Lalah from him. It could also likely be blamed for the familial divide between him and Artesia.

Char wasn't sure what to make of Amuro being onboard. He would likely never forgive him for killing Lalah, but it was inevitable that they would be meeting again. The Red Comet exhaled roughly through his nose, turning away from the machine, and started for the door. Someone would likely bump into him as he tried to leave. ]

And I'm sure you're aware by now that I'm no longer with the Federation.

[redfckngcomet.livejournal.com]

I am. But you're missing the point I'm trying to make. [ Char reached up and removed his sunglasses for a moment. ] We have no more reason to fight one another. And after the Titans attacked White Chalice pilots, it stands to reason that we'll be fighting them. I suggest we put our differences aside for now. There are more pressing issues than our history with one another.

[newtypeamuro.livejournal.com]

I get what you're saying. There's no reason for us to fight right now... But that doesn't mean I'm ready to trust you.

I don't intend to shoot you from behind, and for now, I'll assume the same is true for you.

[redfckngcomet.livejournal.com]

I don't expect you to trust me, and frankly, I have never forgotten the night Lalah died. But I'm not going to sit idly while a Federation faction kills innocent civilians in their witch hunt for Zeon sympathizers. I'd expect you wouldn't, either.

[newtypeamuro.livejournal.com]

That was every bit as much your fault as it was mine! [There's venom there, but he knows better than to start this fight right here and right now, so he'll drop that thread.]

It's not just them caught in the crossfire right now. What happened on Rauha should make that obvious. I'm well aware that our enemies overlap at the moment.

[redfckngcomet.livejournal.com]

The Titans are just as likely to restart the One Year War as the extremist faction at Axis were. Neither of us want that. What I'm saying is, I'm asking for us not to be at each others throats. At least not for now.

[newtypeamuro.livejournal.com]

That much can go without saying- that's why I'm here right now.

[redfckngcomet.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to hear it.

[ Char then decided to try to lighten the mood. ]

Maybe now that you aren't going to be shooting at me, I can appreciate your skill better.

[newtypeamuro.livejournal.com]

I'd think you'd be more familiar with that than anybody.

[redfckngcomet.livejournal.com]

I had meant that it's difficult to applaud someone who is trying to kill you.

[newtypeamuro.livejournal.com]

I suppose I can at least agree with that.

[redfckngcomet.livejournal.com]

I do have one question, though, if you do not mind.

[newtypeamuro.livejournal.com]

I have time, anyway; go on.

[redfckngcomet.livejournal.com]

What happened to my sister after the war?

SO SORRY FOR THE LATENESS HERE

[newtypeamuro.livejournal.com]

We separated some time after the war ended. When I left the federation to come back to space, I lost contact with most of the others. I can't say for sure what happened to anybody after that.

With any luck, she's managed to avoid fighting since then.

No worries dude.

[redfckngcomet.livejournal.com]

I would hope you'd understand if I felt the need to speak to her again. I never did get a proper opportunity to explain my actions to her due to... existential circumstances.

[newtypeamuro.livejournal.com]

Even with our history, I can't exactly stand between siblings.

[redfckngcomet.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[newtypeamuro.livejournal.com]

It's not me you should be thanking. Sayla's the one who stopped both of us back at A Baoa Qu. If it wasn't for her...

[redfckngcomet.livejournal.com]

[ He sighs through his nose. ]

... Yes. It's possible neither of us would have made it out of there if she hadn't intervened.

[newtypeamuro.livejournal.com]

If nothing else, I'm sure she'd be happy to hear you're still alive.

[redfckngcomet.livejournal.com]

I think she'd be one of thew few, at this point.

[newtypeamuro.livejournal.com]

[He can't necessarily say he's one of them, but that much should be obvious.]

I have a few things I'd like to say to her myself.

[redfckngcomet.livejournal.com]

Sayla is one of the most important people in the world to me. I know were on different sides of the war, but she was still my sister. I loved her then, and I still do now.

[newtypeamuro.livejournal.com]

If nothing else, I imagine she'll be thankful to hear you're no longer with the Zeon.
