Punishment and Regret

[pheasantshanker.livejournal.com]

1. [Well, the douche who attacked Ichitaka is walking through the hangar, since he has to put the damaged Straybird somewhere before he can check on his brother.

He can't help but take glances at everything else that's around, but he stops in front of the Rushbird and stares at it.

Punch him? Give him a talking to?]

2. [Yuunagi finally gets to the infirmary where Ichitaka is being treated, and although he can't express it in words, there's now regret written all over his face.

Punch him still? Or actually say something nice, that's up to you.]

Someone whose hands can destroy with ease.
[Gestures in the ward's general direction.]

Creating or mending is a different thing altogether. I never regretted this choice, and yet...

More importantly. I know what is the relationship between you and Ichitaka. Unlike many others, I have no ill feelings towards you.

But I want to know why you did this.

[He definitely got a bad vibe from those initial words, but in this situation there's not much he can do about it.]

I've already accepted the consequences, so I don't see why anyone here should suddenly be concerned about that.

Because a man's motivations say the most about him.

[No use arguing with that. But more importantly, this woman seemed a bit different from all the other people he's encountered so far.

Still, it takes a while for him to say something, and when he does, he almost whispers it...]

I'm trying to keep something from breaking...that's all.

[And that's probably the closest anyone's gotten to an actual answer.]

[emorangerblack.livejournal.com]

Very well.

[It's enough for Devon though. She won't be bothering you anymore, unless Yuu wants to ask her of something now.]

[There are a few things that are still bugging him. But one sticks out more than the rest. Seeing as he just answered something, he's gonna try to bring it up.]

Then, White Chalice. What has the group actually done? What does it stand for?

[emorangerblack.livejournal.com]

[Very good question, considering it stops Devon immediately in her tracks.]

White Chalice... at first, it seems like just a group of random people, trying to survive in this world with their superior firepower.

However, many of them individually...
They want to make a difference. And they might just be able to do it.

Naive may it sound, but the White Chalice crew is a group who fight evil and injustice wherever they go.

Making a difference...fighting evil and injustice...that goes against the things I've heard.

[Yuunagi's a conflicted guy, so he's stuck somewhere between being satisfied and wondering how that works. Part of him thinks this is all good if it's true, but the rest of him just wants to get his grandpa back and head home; teamwork's not his thing after all.]

But that's definitely something he'd go along with...Ichitaka, that is.

[emorangerblack.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[Oh Yuunagi, what a fellow soul you have in Devon. Too bad she's even more holed up in herself than you are.]
