"Indeed, I wished I had someone like you in a fight, you'd be pretty helpful"
he sighed
"So, what's your story?"
English
-
"Story? Look, I...I don't think you'd like it too much. It's..well, to say the least, dark." [i]Irina sighed heavily, as if she had endured a lot over the years. It seemed quite odd.[/i]
-
"Dark? I can handle dark.....mine's not exactly all rainbows and sunshine..... If you don't want to, that's fine, but.......I can tell you've seen some shit, I can respect that"
-
"Let's just say it involved a lot of blood.. Fine, kid. I'll tell you. Started out in a Gothic or Victorian style city, back in the day in an alternate dimension. Nice little place called Yharnam. It wasn't even half bad, if you ignored the constant beast plague that found itself in the hearts of man. There were people that...killed these beasts. Freed them from their suffering, you could say. I was one of those people. A Hunter, of the Healing Church. Alongside me..some life-long friends. Daniel and Sam. Sam..Me and Sam, we...well, had feelings for each other. Eventually, he proposed, and... ...One night, it all went to shit." [i]Irina fell dreadfully silent, her eyes suddenly closing as she proceeded onwards with her story.[/i] "...Found a girl on the streets. She...She had the corruption within her. Eating bodies and developing grotesque features. I-I had no choice, I had to end her. I-If I knew it was Daniel's sister, I... I came back to m-my house...f-found it in flames. S-Sam and my parents...they were..."
-
".........I'm sorry....I know how it feels to lose everything" he dropped down, and looked at you with a sad smile, sighing "I didn't mean to bring up bad memories, I'm sorry"
-
"...You're fine. You're fine. Should I...continue? That's not even half of it. Not that the other bits are too bad, just...well, my story's still pretty damn dark." [i]As if she was trying to lighten the mood a little, Irina softly chuckled, although the laugh was clearly full of sadness. She was good at hiding her feelings at times. But now wasn't one of those times.[/i]
-
"Up to you, sometimes you gotta get it off your chest......." He sat down, and on the sheath of his dagger and saber there too was a crest It was a double-headed dragon, both heads breathing fire, and in its left talon it held a sword, in its right, a rose
-
"...I guess I'll stop. Getting too torn up about the past.." [i]Irina sighed, eventually leaning back against the wooden chair that she was still within. Both of her hands were resting within her lap, her hear aimed towards the stone castle ceiling.[/i] "...So...Anything you'd like to tell me?"
-
"Depends, what do you want to know?" He said, in a guarded voice that betrayed his caution
-
"...Its your choice. I don't want you to bring up dark topics that you don't want to talk about." [i]Irina was calm and collected, and she didn't want Alpha to do something he didn't want to do. She hated forcing others to do things on general.[/i]
-
"........then.....let's go with........My name isn't really Alpha actually, it's really Alexander D'angelo, I prefer alpha usually because......well I don't think you wanna hear that one" He didn't know why, but he took a liking to Irina, maybe he saw a kindred spirit?
-
"Alexander? That sounds more like a...well, human name. Alongside the last name..hmm." [i]Although Irina found it odd that Alpha had a human name, but she wouldn't persist. She respected people Enugu to where she wouldn't do such a thing. Have I said that already? ._.[/i]
-
".......damn, you actually hit that issue right on the head" He looked slightly taken aback, and then looked around to make sure they weren't being spied on "I.....well.....I was human. once. but.....not anymore...it's a bit complicated"
-
"...I...I see.. My apologies if I went too far there, I...I hope that you know I didn't mean to. If you would like to change the subject...I'm perfectly fine with that."
-
"What other subject is there to change it to? We've both probably done shit we ain't proud of, shit that's ruined us in many ways......"
-
"True, true. I've murdered about everyone I previously worked with. Gouged the eyes out of the man that killed my parents and lover... Oh, those were the good times." [i]Irina sighed a little - before she realized what she had just said.[/i] "...I...Er... Well, now I just sound batshit crazy.."
-
".......I'm not any better" He said curtly, his voice a little hardened at those words
-
Edited by Orn: 10/31/2016 11:47:12 AM"...So you're worse than a heartless bitch that shoved her fist into the hearts of men and women who once loved her, and even once trusted her with their very lives, just for her to take them for the benefit of her queen? Damn."
-
"I murdered a kid, purely out of unfounded fear and hate, driving a whole race into depair and forcing a war and deaths of many I'm not better"
-
"I've murdered plenty of children. You act as though you are worse. Look...From what I've seen of you, you seem like a good kid. Maybe that's because of what you've done in the past. Perhaps you seek redemption. I do. I know how you feel."
-
".....have you taken on the soul of your victim? their body? or have you had your being, body, mind, and soul torn apart and put back together again? no, you don't know"
-
"Have you shoved your fücking fist through someone that cared for you? Have you murdered everyone you knew and loved over some fücking queen manipulating you?! ...I'm going to shut up for a bit. I need to calm down."
-
He sat down, drawing his knees up and putting his head down, he didn't seem to hear you
-
"...You alright?" [i]Irina spoke after about two minutes of "calming down.", which mostly involved her meditating in the chair she sat within. She seemed calmer, yet also, a tint of worry and sadness was in her voice. She felt bad for Alpha.[/i]
-
".....Just bad memories......I lost everything that day....it's....it's just hard....." he spoke, trying to keep his voice even but not doing the best job
-
"...I shouldn't have brought it up. I'm...I'm sorry for it. If you want to..hang out, get a bite, something where I can make it up to you...well, you just tell me. Though I wouldn't be surprised if you hated me now.." [i]Irina's voice lowered at the end, a sigh escaping her mouth after she finished speaking. Something said that she was used to being hated.[/i]
