video [Directed to Rhode, but public to all]

-=Death. He can smell the blood in the air, even though he can't see it. His face is hard, much harsher than anyone has known here, and he remains still as he looks at the screen. He's still shirtless, his hair free flowing on some breeze.=-

This is enough.


-=It's unclear as to whom he's speaking to, but the black tip of his obsidian knife comes into view and makes one tiny mark under his eye. It looks like he's crying blood now, only that the blood just curls under his chin and continues the march down his throat instead of dripping carelessly.=-

A deal. I will make a deal if you stop this madness. This death-these dreams. One simple thing, and it will stop.

[Oh, she would have stopped anyway, she's done with it, but. But if he wants to make a bargain, she'll listen.]

What are you offering~?

[Video]

[golden_hawke]

-=And here is our white paladin! Good to the core! Sometimes dumb as a box of rocks.=-

A battle. If I draw blood, you stop.

[Video]

[dreams-are-mine.livejournal.com]

[But she does so love good guys.]

Why would that interest me? I've been fighting people all day.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

*Might be directed at Rhode, but the death part applies to him too.* Sorry, I'm not in the mood to bargain.

[golden_hawke]

Has any one injured you?

[golden_hawke]

-=Looks at this one.=-

Stop what you are doing. The needless killing. And I will see no need to stop you.

[Video]

[dreams-are-mine.livejournal.com]

Dozens of times.

[She looks pretty uninjured.]

[bunny_flower]

Hawke-san, what are you doing ?

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

Threats? How quaint! But you'll find I'm far superior to any mere mortal. Even occupying Rubedo's body such as I am, I'm still built for combat! Even the mightiest of human weaponry has fallen before Rubedo and myself! What need have I to fear a single man armed merely with a stone knife?

-=quirks a brow=-

[golden_hawke]

...

You have no need. You are not worth my time.


-=clearly, unimpressed with your theatrics.=-

[golden_hawke]

Trying to help. -=He looks farily stubborn determined about this.=-

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

And here I'd thought all of Adstringèndum was quivering~ in rage and fear at my little demonstration earlier~

[golden_hawke]

Little children who seek attention tend to scream the loudest.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

Oooh, a wise guy, huh? Don't forget, every now and then you might just run across an Enfante Terrible~!

[golden_hawke]

Yes. -=Though, the sarcasm is not lost upon him, he's just ignoring it.=-

Run across a what?

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

A child more of a monster than any grown man. *He holds his hands up, showing that he's still holding the bone knife cutting into his hand.*

[golden_hawke]

... Is that supposed to frighten me? -=he truly looks non-plussed.=-

[Video]

[dreams-are-mine.livejournal.com]

[She just smiles in return.]

I might stop for a giant chocolate cake~ Or we could make a more permanent bargain.

[Video]

[golden_hawke]

Chocolate cake?

-=Why did that sound terribly random, yet important at the same time?=-

What are you thinking of?

[Video]

[dreams-are-mine.livejournal.com]

Or maybe a pony. Actually I think it would have to be both. A big cake with lots of icing and a white pony.

[Because she almost bargained Anko away for a bunch of candy? Sometimes she's a little fail on the villain part when you distract her with shit she wants.]

I could promise never ever to kill anyone again as long as I'm here if~ you do something for me.

[Video]

[golden_hawke]

-=Waiting for her request.=-

[Video]

[dreams-are-mine.livejournal.com]

Bring me Lenalee's legs~

[Video]

[golden_hawke]

No. Your bargain does not even address the fact that you torment others in their sleep, and I will not bring about more destruction by harming another person for your gain.

[bunny_flower]

How exactly do you plan to do that ?

[golden_hawke]

I... -=He has no clue. But he can't sit here anymore now that his family has been hurt.=-

[bunny_flower]

Rushing into it will not help, Hawke-san, and this girl has no reason to uphold her part of any deal.

She broke the one she made with Allen-san, after all. A long time before he decided to break it off.

[golden_hawke]

.... -=his face falls.=-


At this time, it looks as if an agreement cannot be made, anyway.


-=Now feels more helpless.=-

[Video]

[dreams-are-mine.livejournal.com]

[Laughing now.]

I did say it was a game, and it's getting old. But I still want a cake.

[Video]

[golden_hawke]

... :|



You have done nothing to be rewarded.

[bunny_flower]

Please do not worry too much about this, Hawke-san. Whatever solution we find will come from all of us. There is no reason for one to sacrifice themselves.

[golden_hawke]

-=Saying do not worry and actually not worrying are different things. Right now, he simply stares, looking like he has no idea what to do from here.=-

[bunny_flower]

We will find a way, Hawke-san.

[Video]

[dreams-are-mine.livejournal.com]

But you offered a deal.

[Video]

[golden_hawke]

I did not bargain other people's injury. That is what I am preventing.
