Rose walked alongside him until he stopped, trying to figure out what he was getting at. She sighed softly. "Alright. We may have had something at some point earlier on in this whole thing. We almost had something. Nothing ever really came of it. And that's it. I don't know what you're feeling fully. I'm forcing myself not to pry mentally"

-He sighs, closing his eyes- I don't know what I feel either... -He looks at her suddenly, eyes gleaming in the night- I feel the shadows all around us, hear them, taste them. And they hear you, feel you... -He shivers, changing the topic- I am confused, angry, full of sorrow and joy, all jumbled together, and I don't have the memories to explain any of it. -Armok shakes his head again- It is a waste of time for me to do this. Lets head to base, I've made a big enough fool of myself for a night.

"You're not making a fool of yourself." She bit at her lower lip again, shifting her weight from foot to foot. "What if I said I could help you?"

-He looks into her eyes for a minute, then smiles faintly- What if I said you already have?

A blush slid onto her cheeks. She cursed softly and rubbed at them furiously. "Stupid effing blushes..." She mumbled. "I meant with your memories." Rose added, still rubbing at her cheeks.

-He nods- I know what you meant, bascha. -He runs a hand through his hair- What if... What if you open the wrong door, though?

Rose finished her rubbing and looked down at her feet. "I honestly don't know. But it's worth a try."

-Armok shakes his head- I'm not so sure. Something makes me... -He gestures- Bestial like I am. What if you unlock that memory, without whatever consciously keeps the rage in check? If I hurt you... -He smiles faintly, then makes a joke of it- Or if you had to hurt me, which I'm sure you would enjoy...

"I've lived for quite a long time now fighting my way through things that scare me much more than any primal rage that you may have in you. I'm not scared of getting hurt." She rubbed at the now healed wound. "Obviously."

-He chuckles- While you do make very valid points... -He steps closer to her- I am afraid of hurting you. But if you want to try... I won't stop you. I'd like to know how different who I am and who I was truly are.

"You shouldn't be scared of that." She smiled a little. "Don't move, okay?" If she could teach Eris to speak and understand English in a few short hours, she could help Armok. She raised her hands and placed them gently on the sides of his head. Energy slowly seeped into his skull so she could root around some.

-His eyes close and he stands at attention, not moving a muscle as she starts her probe-

Rose pushed her way back further and further through his mind. Shifting uncomfortably as she hit a few barriers. Cursing under her breath at the same time. She mumbled in her native tongue. "There's something keeping me out." Which was really actually ticking her off. But it wouldn't stop her from trying to get past it.

-The sensation of ice water being poured over his brain is neither pleasant nor unpleasant, thus he allows her to continue-

After a few moments of being gentle with the nudging and pushing, Rose finally got frustrated and a lot of her energy suddenly pushed in and broke whatever was keeping her out. And at the same time, it released a few of Armok's memories, sending a painful shock through Rose's fingertips, up her arms and through her body. She barely flinched.

-Armok grits his teeth, as ice-water becomes a raging inferno. He stomachs it all, however, waiting on memories-

Rose's fingers twitched, trying to curve in as a natural reaction to stop the pain. She bit her inner cheek and kept on working. Her shoulders trembling. This was nothing. And she would keep repeating that to herself mentally. Though one thing about this mind-meld bit was that Armok had access to every single last thought and memory of hers as well. She got a few more memories out. An odd one of a snowball fight at the old base, a night when everyone had actually gotten out of a dreary mood and went out to a bar. Hawk and her shoe vault. And a few others.

-Armok focuses on any thought but the pain... and finds himself wandering memories not quite his own- Bascha... -Her subconscious reaction to that word sent him to memories from a long time ago...-

Rose didn't reply. She was too busy concentrating on trying to get more memories out for him.

-Rose's probe is now treading across very thin ice... very thin ice caging in a very nasty creature-
