"Wait a fûcking second. I bet I know exactly where she went. Heh. Wanna go see her? Congratulate her or somethin? I know I sure am."
-
[i]Sasha hops up.[/i] "Hell yeah!"
-
"Heh. Let's take it a little slow this time. Got something I wanna talk about. These old bones did their sprinting for the day anyways."
-
[i]Sasha seems to get upset at this.[/i] "Awww, another boring talk? Aaaaand we have to go slow? Why don't you just kill me? End my suffering...." [i]Sasha begins to walk back to the Dojo.[/i]
-
[b]I chuckle. I'd run, but my knees felt like they were about to break. I walked beside her.[/b] "Heh. Humans can only take so much running in one day. Doesn't help that I'm coming up on 50 years old... Damn... Forgot I was that old. But the thing is, this ain't gonna be a boring talk. After one question, we're free to talk about whatever you want."
-
[i]Sasha gets happy again as she hops like a bunny instead of walking.[/i] "Okay, shoot. What is it?"
-
"Now, this is dead serious. And this will decide what happens when we get to where Artemis is. Are you going to try to bring her back to the den?"
-
[i]Sasha starts to laugh again.[/i] "Well...I don't know. Probably not. Why?"
-
"Good. Cause if you were, we were gonna have problems. Earlier when we were looking for her, I wasn't planning on bringing her back then, either. She would stay at the Dojo. It's not safe in the den for her. Not in the slightest. Anyways, now that that's done with, whaddaya wanna talk about?"
-
[i]Sasha looks at Grant with a raised brow.[/i] "Grant, I only said that because she might be too hurt to travel. She was fighting for her freedom and fled. I'll have to bring her back eventually...maybe. I don't know...."
-
"No, you don't. You don't have to. You know that it's not safe there for her, and I do too. Where in the code does it say she can't leave? Far as I've been told she can."
-
"Well, the code doesn't say she can't leave. It says one must listen to the clam leader and her father, the clan leader, would only ever let her be free if she could best him in a fight. She fled the fight, Grant. My job...my job requires me to return her."
-
"Sasha... If you try to bring her back we're gonna have problems. And you don't want problems with me. Sasha, I know that it'll be hard for you to disobey, but if you want to prove to everyone in this Dojo that werewolves can act like civilized people and not just animals, you'll do this for Artemis. I can hide her. They can't touch her on NCR grounds unless they want a war with the Dojo. And we both know that's be a losing war."
-
[i]Sasha gets angry and shoves Grant.[/i] "She doesn't belong to the NCR! No matter where she stands her clan...I will back her! You can't just take her away from me!"
-
[b]I fall over. Hard. I had my damn Anti-Material Rifle on me. I got up slowly. I was pissed off, but I wouldn't attack her or anything.[/b] "Did I say the NCR owned her, Sasha? No. I didn't. I just said she's safer in NCR care. And if you don't want to lose her, stay with her then. With me and the NCR. Be a goddamn shame for me to have to hate you."
-
[i]She gets up in Grant's face with a tear running down her cheek.[/i] "NCR care?! Last time someone was supposedly under their 'care' Artemis' mother died! I'm not letting her die! I don't care if you hate me as long as she's safe!"
-
"Goddammit do you call what your clan does to her safe?! She would've fûcking died from the infections if I didn't help her! Your clan beats her and cut her and slashes her and treats her like shit! Wanna know what the NCR does? Gives her a warm bed, three meals a day, and medical care! Hell, I literally just said you could stay with her too! You act like the NCR are the bad guys! I'm under fûcking orders to protect civilians in any way I can, and wanna know what you both are to me?! Goddamn civvies! I have to protect you, it's my fûcking job!"
-
"Don't make f*cking promises you can't keep! You humans are all the same! You have too much trust in those who have power over you! These governments of yours can easily do wrong and be corrupted! It pains me every time I see her get hurt, but at least she's not dead!"
-
[b]That was the last goddamn straw! She's on my last goddamn nerve.[/b] "Insulting me is one thing, but insulting the NCR is another! I've met our goddamn president, he's the least corrupt man on the planet! And you think I can't keep her safe?! By order of the New California Republic, I have to give my life to save civvies like you! And you know what, you're being a fûcking racist! Generalizing is humans like you've met us all! I'm betting you haven't met more than ten of us! You know, if you'd just give me a goddamn chance you'd see I'm the best damn protector on the planet! I've protected people from countless others, probably more than there are in old NYC! Guess what?! None of them even got hurt! Artemis is not safe back there! She's gonna get killed! One day somebody's gonna get a little too rough and that slash across the back will sever her spinal cord, and probably fûcking kill her! I'm one of the best goddamn shots she's got at actually being able to live a free life and you're going to deny her that?! What the fûck is wrong with you?! It's not your choice! It's hers! If she wants to stay, she's staying, dammit! And I'm giving you a chance to get away too! Away from it all! Away from all that bullshit stuff that happens back at your den! Just fûcking take it! If you're there with Artemis, you can make sure I'm doing my fûcking job!"
-
"Why don't we go ask Artemis what she wants then?! And don't call me a f*cking civvie! I'm a warrior who's out to get a comrade back home!" [i]Sasha starts to run towards the Dojo.[/i]
-
"Sasha, are you a part of a military?! No, you're not! That means you're technically a civilian to me! I'm not denying you're a warrior, I'm saying you're not part of the NCR's war, so you're a civilian!" [b]Grant sprints after her.[/b]
-
"You f*cking elitist *ss human! I'm no civilian in need of protection." [i]Sasha runs way ahead of Grant.[/i]
-
"Goddammit, it's not a fûcking statement! I'm legally bound by the NCR to call you and treat you as such! If I don't, I lose my fûcking job! I've got two kids to look after now, I can't afford to do that! If it was up to me, you wouldn't be called a civvie! The one NCR policy I disagree with!"
-
[i]Sasha is no longer within earshot.[/i]
-
[b]I sprint up to her. This was all I had in me, she wasn't going to be able to not hear me at this point. I say the same thing again.[/b]
