(that would make it your post)

"And I am choosing the option to stay with you--it's the only option I can choose, and I think you know that. Why do you think that it will end poorly for both of us?"

If it was just Anthony, things may work out. You might have worked past his defenses in time and built something meaningful that would last. With me though... there is a whole other world, Midori. And what's in the best interests of my people... may not be good for the rest of humanity.

"I know that it's not just Anthony, and I know that there will be things that are different, but I can't simply 'shut off' in that way. I know I don't know what all your current interests are, but I want to and I want to be able to help you."

Alright then, Midori... *his fingers curl around her other hand, until he's holding both hands, his body radiating heat into her palms* I will tell you what the worst of my interests are. And you can decide if you can live with yourself, should you stay.

Naomi Hidaka (Dec 6, 2011 11:37:33 PM)
She studied him for a moment, her hands pressing against his, as if seeking more of that warmth he was radiating outward. "Alright. Tell me the worst, then."

First, tell me what you know of Hell... or, if Amos has told you of it, the Pit?

"I know very little of it, to be honest. I know that it is where you were sent after the war, when the war was essentially lost. I know that you spent lifetimes and eons trapped there until -some- of you were able to break free, as you have with Anthony."

Anthony S Barajas (Dec 6, 2011 11:43:11 PM)
Break free? Not quite; that would assume we had done something to break the Pit wide. No, we escaped through cracks, but they were not of our making. In any case, most of our brethren are still chained there; including the more powerful of us. Dukes and Generals from the war... More importantly however, we are not who we should be. We are hybrids of angel and man; not truly a part of either.
