70th Devotion: Coming Home

[favoritetraitor]

I'm alive back? Could anyone tell me how long I've been gone?

Saya, are you all right?

Mmm, I met her outside the apartment. It healed that night though, after midnight.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I couldn't take you myself... and for what I did.

... It wasn't your fault. A lot of people have been effected by that curse, it seems.
I should have taken better care to defend myself. But I didn't think... there would be any need to here.

... I'm sorry.

There's nothing for you to apologize for, Saya. It was my fault entirely.

But you should have been able to stop me. Diva would never have allowed me to do such a thing.

Saya, I never want to be able to hurt you like that again... I think it's time that we discuss ways to make you stronger.

...
Mmm, you're right.
The only way I did that before was through Haji. And that was for fighting. Back then... it wasn't as hard to accept.
I suppose I do still have to protect others from myself though.

Through Hagi? So you did take blood from him?

[She nods simply.]

After our...last meeting.
[She hesitates a moment, then continues.]
I had to finish the fight. It was the only way I could be strong enough.

This city, despite it's seemingly benign nature, has it's own set of challenges and dangers that we never had to concern ourselves over in our own world...

Saya, my main concern is always for your welfare. Please allow me to help you be strong enough for the times that I'm unable to come to your defense.

It would make me happy if you would consider this suggestion. A way perhaps for me to atone for my deplorable behavior to you...

Private

You don't have to atone for it. It wasn't your fault and...

[This... argument isn't going to work though, is it. She pauses a long moment, sighing out before she nods slowly.]

I understand.

You're not... I confess I'm just a bit surprised. You're not upset? How different you are... Diva would have...

... I'm tired of being upset. And angry.
