Rose kinda laughed a little breathlessly. Then quickly regretted it. Her body lurched and she grabbed whatever bowl had been placed in front of her and vomited. She shook a bit. "Fuck."

It twas a bucket of epicness. He was right there to hold her. "let it out, Rose..." He knew she hated this... "I'm right here..." He helped her hold the bucket and tried to ease her trembling body. "this is the worst of it Rose... it will get easier on."

Rose set the bucket down and grabbed for the towel she had scavenged up earlier and wiped at her mouth. "This is so disgusting." She sighed quietly and pulled her legs up, so she could curl up slightly.

AFR let her get comfy next to him. "no one else is seeing this part of it. it's alright... It will get better." He moved his hand to hers. "I know it's painful..." He stroked her hand with his thumb. "it's going to take time... but it will be worth it when you start to feel the effects of eating again... think about the end results... and remember that you're not alone..."

Rose sighed and closed her eyes. "I know." She chewed on her lower lip before opening her eyes and looking back up at him. "Todays effort was kinda for nothing though." Cause she just threw it all back up Dx

"you have to crawl before you could walk... it wasn't for nothing at all... you made the initial effort and that's the first hard choice to make. We all are behind you in this. especially me." He looked back to her eyes and smiled. "I'm proud of you."

She smiled some. "Thank you." Rose curled into his side some.

AFR got himself comfy so he too wouldn't have to move from her side. "You're always welcome." He kept his hand at hers. "So... the next time we duel... I think we should invite Kaimu along." He smiled. "I've been think more about it and now I'm all for it... you could teach her things about her powers that will really do her well."

Rose closed her eyes once more and listened to him. "Really?" She curled up a little more, still listening, eyes closed. "She learned a bit last time I worked with her. She's really wants this. I got her up at four am and made her run through the woods for about an hour and a half and then went straight into hand to hand. Never once did she argue or whine."

"I'm glad she is willing. She's grown up a lot. Her baby brother and sister need her strength now more then ever." AFR bit his lip... "... but enough about that. I know what she wants... I was just like her... wanting to fight my own fights. Wanting to help those who couldn't help themselves... it doesn't get much further then that to stack up to be a hero. I'm glad she's warmed up to that." He leaned back... "those days were much simpler... it was like I could do anything. But now surrounded by the right people. I still can." He smiled at her.

Rose nodded her head as she listened. "At least you knew what you wanted, hm?" Ohh Rose is gonna lay down some personal stuff. SNAP. "I didn't even want any of this. The power. The training. None of it. I didn't want to be involved in any wars or killings of any sort." She paused in thought and opened her eyes. "It was all very sudden and kinda forced on me. But I'm grateful I've had all that training. Even the being conditioned to destroy people like you. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have gotten here in the first place."

AFR nodded. he understood. "Everything happened for it's reasons Rose. But it makes us who we are." He smiled at her. "I know exactly what you mean. I look back at it and I just scream about how much I shouldn't have killed myself... but you are right. If I never killed myself I would have never been resurrected... if that never happened I would have never met Armok... if that happened I would have never joined his mercenary group, if that never happened I would have never joined the SC... and then I would have never met you or any of the others." He was about to get basic. "So in an essence... my first death... was the best thing that ever happened to me. When you look at it that way... regrets are hard to find." He held her hand tight. "Your past will never frighten me away... because I love who you are now. Thank you for sharing, Rose." He really meant that.

She nodded her head. "Indeed." She closed her eyes once more. "You're welcome I suppose." Every once in awhile, Rose would go into slight detail about certain things in her past. Everyone new a small gist of it. Her working with the Fat'ali Ryuin and such. But other details she strayed away from. Things that people didn't need to know. Like Lukas. She didn't speak about him until she had to. WHICH REMINDS ME KATEY OF A CERTAIN FERRET WHO HAS BEEN MIA. Sakaki suddenly popped out of AFR's jacket. DONT ASK HOW SHE GOT THERE. SHE HAS WAYS. She chittered D:

AFR smiled. "You're one of the most fascinating people I've ever known for a reason... and it goes beyond what you keep in secret... even when we were together I always wanted to know more." He moved the hair from her face. "It's your eyes... when I look in them... I see a fire... I see passion... I see everything I ever wanted, but inside another person. I guess that's what always attracted me to you naturally." AFR kinda blinked at Sakaki... "Oh... hi there..." He had a history of being bitten by Sakaki... hopefully she'd be a bit nicer this time. "How'd you...?" He began.

Rose smiled a bit and opened her eyes as she felt him move the hair from her face again. "You never told me that." Rose was about to speak again before Sakaki came out of freaking nowhere. The small ferret chittered and climbed out of AFR's jacket and sat on his lap, looking up at him curiously. She jumped up and climbed on his shoulder, still chittering away. Rose spoke for her "She probably stowed away during the battle last night." Indeed. "She's good at that." Rose knew from experience. When she tried to get rid of Sakaki when she first came along.

He smiled at her. "It was often accompanied with "I love yous". Because when I was locked on them everything was that simple. I didn't need long winded verses... They are like home... a place I am always safe." He looked at Sakaki... "Crafty little ferret... she gets gold stars" He chuckled. Then gave his attention back to Rose.

Rose still smiled. It was odd to discuss this. But it didn't bother her. "This is why I fell in love with you in the first place." She nudged his side gently. Sakaki was trying to climb onto his head now. "She's very crafty. Little devil." Mhm. "She's probably looking for treats." INDEED.

AFR was blushing... of course he was. "There was never a doubt how loud my heart sang out for you Rose. Loud enough to shatter the mountains. If you listen hard enough the echoes of it still remain." He got a bit worried when she mentioned treats. "I know there's a patch of hair missing she'd fit perfectly in, but she isn't going to find any treats in them thar hills." He was still in good spirits about her crawling on him... she hasn't bitten him yet.

Rose smiled some. "Ha! I got you to blush." She was very proud of herself. Rose put her head back down and listened, glancing up every so often to check on Sakaki. Who was just kinda rooting around. "Oh you're not balding." Sakaki crawled down and started digging in pockets in AFR's jacket.

AFR gave her a smile. "It's been a while... but it's nice to remember. It was times like these that made the world worth walking... in fact... that never stopped. They always will do it, Rose." Rose certainly did make his life worth going on another day longer. He laughed a bit. "Balding... no... someone decided it'd be funny to run a shaver up the back of my head. Which I still have to station my pay back for." He noticed Sakaki digging... "well... at least there may be a sunflower seed or two left in there for ya."
