Normally, she'd follow Roxa and talk to him, but today she was so insulted by him she actually walked the opposite direction towards Eli.
"Eli, right?" She asked while stepping up to him, "I should really apologize for Roxa, he's normally not like that at all. He's normally very sweet, protective and... well... I don't know why he did that."

"Voices..." Eli spoke, truth be told...he couldn't hear anyone talking to him. He had scattered images in his head, but no words. "No...I don't..." The Alessia had approached him and he felt fidgeting. -" Eli Ventus" "Yeah...that's my name." Eli said quietly, "Eli Ventus." He stayed quiet for awhile, not really responding until he spoke. "Whose...whose she?" He paused and clarified, "Roxa kept speaking about someone, who?" |

Vash sighed.
He's still got a long way to go...
He placed the familiar smile back on his face, stepping back and walking over to Kurai.
"Roxa started a fight with Eli; looks like the two are somehow related, and then there was this mention o a weird guy in black armor, isn't that crazy?!" He shrugged. "Seth and I broke up the fight, but they were seiously goin' at it!"

"N'awww, there there little Roxa, it's just like all those years ago! Just me and you with everybody hating us and what we do, just like old times..."
"Go away..." Roxa thought to himself
"Don't worry about the light witch, she has someone quite literally just like you when you were younger to care for her"
"Go. Away." he thought to himself firmly
With that, there was silence, having beaten Ave to the far reaches of his mind Roxa sat down in the snow and stared out over the icy waters, wishing that Riliath were here, but then again. Even the giant from Ignis would probably condone his actions, he looked briefly over his shoulder at Alessia and Eli talking and contemplated carrying the conversation on the wind but don't bother. He knew either way.

Meanwhile, Kouichi walked over to sit down next to Roxa; unlike the others, he didn't seem to be in a judging mood.
"You okay?" he asked, quietly, a somber tone in his voice. His tail swished idly back and forth, not showing much of any emotion; his face showed nothing but slight concern.

"I miss another fight?!" Volk said to Kurai, and then he growled, "Arugh! Why does this always happen?!"
"Don't worry Volky, we will find another fight so you can practice." She said with a smile and her arms behind her back.

She frowned, this subject was always a hard one, "He was talking about his mother..." She sighed, "It's a long story, but Roxa's family was attacked, and terrible things happened that day that... I will not mention."
"Assuming from what I could gather from the fight between you two, Roxa believes that you were born because of that event... or your great, great, great grandparent."
"But that doesn't make you any less of a person, of course... I have no idea why Roxa would have said that..."

"...Cause he sees his mother in me," Eli said quietly, "You don't need to condition me...I can guess what happened that day."
He looked at his hands, "Roxa Sairen...I knew that name...from a long time ago. Last year...I was calling myself Roxa Sairen. I didn't think he was a real person, I thought he was just...just a part of my imagination."

Roxa gave Kouichi a sideways glance "Hm?" he looked out at the ocean "We've never really talked have we?" he asked "Kouichi isn't it? I suppose I'm fine really, but I fear I'm becoming what I once sought to destroy and yet..." he closed his eyes, flashes of his family passed through his mind "He's the descendant of a man that helped take everything from me, all I feel for him right now is unconditional hate... But not for his ancestry, no, it has nothing to do with that..."

He nodded.
"Yeah... I understand."
He looked out across the ocean as well.
"You and I... we're not really so different."
His tail twitched restlessly, giving away the disquieted emotions inside him.
"No.... not so different at all..."

"You kept.. calling yourself Roxa?" It was really strange that he was calling himself Roxa, not to mention the fact that it was about a year ago that the Saints had broken free.

Roxa raised an eyebrow "Really?" he asked with a small chuckle "You poor soul if you've had a life like mine, if you don't mind me asking, what makes us not so different?" he asked with genuine curiosity.

"Yeah, for awhile. I don't really remember why...mom said it was the day a giant light came in the sky, I was near the light in the woods but...I don't remember much." he frowned, putting his hands in his pockets.

"Oh..." She could guess what it was, it was them breaking free. It had to be.
Shaking her head she sighed, "Listen, Eli, I believe everything happens for a reason. We're after the same thing, or mostly the same thing, and despite the little fight right there, I'm sure Roxa can accept you! Which is why we should all journey together!"

"Who are you?!"
The voice screamed at him from the face of another warrior such as he... but this one had another soul, another pair of eyes, another face that he saw as clear as day, and another splitting headache cracked his skull, cracked through the rage, the desire to kill, to maim, to rend all life from this husk of a world and return it all to the darkness from which he was born, the darkness which he'd been promised.
"Who are you?!" he screamed back with all of the rage he held within him. "Why does your name do such things to me?!"
"You tell me, Dusk! Tell me why you look like me!"
"I look nothing like you!"
His red blade flashed, his red eyes flashed, and the black armor moved around him, but he could feel that other presence within him now, and he wanted to scream...
Kouichi shook his head, shaking off the memory.
"...I was a warrior, once, just like you... but it... wasn't me. When I saw your face, and Eli's face, as you faced each other.... it reminded me of what happened when Kouji and I met for the first time."
He sighed. "Sorry, I'm making a mess out of explaining things, aren't I?"
