"You know what happened the last time I tried lightning."

-
[u]"Oh yeah! Have you told Hawkwood yet? It's pretty funny."[/u] [i]Upon the memory of the event, Olivia laughed quietly, grinning under the surface of her helmet.[/i]
-
[i]"Told me what? I'm curious now." [/i] "No im not going to either"
-
[u]"Come on! It's funny! It may have happened a while back, but still!"[/u]
-
"NO." [i]"Nathaniel, Son of Ornstein. I beg of you" [/i] "No means no."
-
[u]"TELL HIM!"[/u] [i]Olivia was practically yelling at this point.[/i]
-
"Alright fine. Promise not to laugh." [i]"I swear by the fire of the first flame" [/i]
-
[u]"I won't laugh again, probably won't mention it again. Promise.[/u]
-
"Alright fine. This is what happened, we were each experimenting with the things we weren't excelling in. For me it was electricity, for Oliva it was.. Oh what was it again?"
-
[u]"...Fire...Guess I'll have to tell my story..."[/u]
-
"So basically, there I am, practicing with our dad. And I summon this lightning that completely backfires. I end up use the lightning myself, and going flying backwards, into a wall. I was incapacitated for a week."
-
[u]"...Then I was trying to use that blue flame crap with mom, and...accidentally caused a fire within my room. Then Dad came in, realized that my room was pretty much cinders...yeah. Bad day."[/u]
-
[i]"Oh Gwyn. So neither of you are proficient in what the other is?"[/i] "indeed. That is true."
-
[u]"Right. So, uh...Melee only fight, then? I'll need a new chime."[/u]
-
"Wait who are you fighting again?"
-
[u]"My adopted brother, of cou-Oh. I wasn't supposed to say that."[/u]
-
"Oh wow. Real fúcking smooth." [b]He walked away, angrily as Hawkwood looked at you [/b] [i]"Are you not brother and sister? Why do you tell him he is 'adopted?"[/i]
-
[u]"Oh, come o-"[/u] [i]Olivia didn't even finish her sentence, before she groaned out of her own rage. She didn't even bother to stop herself from yelling out.[/i] [u]"For once in your damn life, can you take a fúcking joke?! Quit acting like you're so goddamn perfect all the time!"[/u]
-
[b]Hawkwood looks suprised. He slowly backs away then sprints, disappearing as Nathaniel turns, walking towards Olivia [/b] "PERFECT?! PERFECT?! ALL I'VE EVER DONE IS LOOK UP TO YOU! Dad always favored you, hell even mom had more fun with you then she did with me! You were the prodigy child, you got everything dad stood for. His title, his armor, his weapons."

Edited by Orn: 11/21/2016 2:50:15 AM[u]"BULLSHIT! Dad hated me! He constantly critiqued my ass if I ever fúcked up in the SLIGHTEST, and now he doesn't even speak to me anymore over what happened between me and Remy!"[/u] [i]At this point, Olivia looked as if she was about to break down into literal tears.[/i]
-
"DAD ONLY CRITICIZED YOU SO YOU COULD GET BETTER! He never gave me comments, or concerns OR ANYTHING! HE WAS SO FOCUSED ON MAKING YOU GREAT!" [b]Nathaniel himself was also turning red, and about to break as well [/b]
-
[u]"I NEVER WANTED TO BE GREAT! I NEVER WANTED TO BE SOME DAMN HERO ALL THE TIME![/u] [u]I didn't want to live my life as an idol or a hero or some shit like that. I don't want innocent people relying on some stupid, selfish eighteen year old girl for solving their troubles."[/u] [i]At this point, Olivia had actually begun to cry, yet she only fell silent.[/i]
-
"YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE THE DAMN HERO! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND! DAD CAN'T GET TO YOU! SO YOU CAN STOP! You can stop! You don't have to be the hero, or the Idol. You can be you!"
-
[u]"The only thing I've done when I'm "me" is make people feel like shit! Outside of combat and quests, I'm nothing but a fúcking bitch! I-I treat people like...like they're trash. I can't change, even if I set my mind to it."[/u] [i]Olivia went silent once more, tilting her head in what seemed to have been shame. Shame, for knowing nothing but combat.[/i]
-
[b]Nathaniel embraced her, his hands rubbing her back as he quietly sobbed into her shoulder [/b]
-
[i]In response, Olivia began hugging her brother tightly, beginning to pull Nathaniel to someplace...more private.[/i]
