27th Detonator [Video/Text]

[nameofexorcist]

[Kresnik didn't quite recognize the room he was in when he finally woke up today. However, that problem will be addressed later... there is something else that he needs to talk about first. After all, the last thing he remembered was being knocked out during the Resistance Impulse.

Sitting on a chair, the soldier turns on the video feed on his communicator and talks directly to it with a serious, but almost quiet tone]

...Yesterday, you might have noticed large electric spheres flying around Discedo. Those attacks were the result of my weapon and my own careless behavior.

[He pauses for a moment]

If anyone was injured or a building was damaged during yesterday's attack... please inform me now. I will accept the consequences of my actions.

[He also sends out a text that basically says the same thing before setting down his communicator on the table]

And I am, to some extent. Certainly, that was jarring, and an experience I would hope to never have repeat. At the same time, however, you've admitted to your carelessness, and have expressed remourse for your actions. That certainly is more than I can say for some of the people I've met in my short lifetime... some of my elders included, even if they are now gone.

...it's my duty as a person to take responsibility for my mistakes...

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

... Yes, I know. _{[Why is she having this discussion again? Marivel honestly forgets.]} I don't see how you didn't realize something like this would happen.

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

...I was impatient.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

..."Impatient".

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

...I haven't used my ARM in a year...

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

And you couldn't have waited a little longer...?

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

...I could have. It was an error on my part.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

Then you know not to let that happen again.

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

...Yes, I know.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

Good. Then I'll refrain from scolding you further.

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

...

Have you thought of something that I can do to make it up to you?

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

That's a hard question for me to come up with an answer to, really. Obviously, it's a question that shouldn't have come up if it could be helped, but I'm not particularly certain as to just what you could do. As I've said before, you've apologized, and you've admitted you were being careless. ... I'll still be a little mad about what happened, yes, but...

How about for now, let's just say that you owe me a lot of tea? You can continue to beat yourself up over the fact that I got killed if you really want to, but I think that... if I can make a promise with someone who is the future Lord Blazer that I will fight by his side when the time comes, I can forgive you without you having to do anything major. _{Anastasia would have wanted me to do that, anyway.}

[He seems a little surprised by her answer]

...if you're certain, Marivel...

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

--Well, if you have anything in mind for what you could do, yourself, then feel free to let me know. ... But yes, I'm fairly certain. You're, ah... you're somewhat of a friend to me, I suppose you could say, _{[Though the term is somewhat foreign and awkward for her to use]} and I don't really know what you're expecting me to otherwise say.

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

[She considers him to be a friend...?]

...I'll let you know then.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

_{[Did he expect 'mortal enemies'...]}

I'll be waiting to hear what you come up with, then.

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

[Perhaps just "acquaintances"]

Right.

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

_{[She could do that, too, if he doesn't want to be friends.]}

... So... that's all I have to say, I suppose, on this matter.

[musicboxsoldier.livejournal.com]

[No, she doesn't have to]

...In you become injured sometime in the future, I'll heal you...

[noblecrimson.livejournal.com]

... Alright. _{[Works for her.]}
