AFR kisse Bianca.... "Something isn't right here.... stay with me... let's see what we could do, baby." He headed with Bianca with him to Rose's room. He opened the door and found Rose collapsed. He turned on the lights. "Rose!"... He rushed to her and took a knee at her side. "Talk to me, Rose." He was a bit frantic.... you know... she's had a bad bill of health as of late too.

Rose groaned as she was talked to. "You're very loud, did you know that?" She mumbled.

AFR bit his lip in a smile.... "and you are very on the floor right now...." He softened his voice. "I will reserve it at the best of my abilities." AFR was no slouch. He took Rose from the floor to the bed sitting up. He then took his hand to her shoulder and the other diverted the hair from her eyes. "Listen to me, Rose.... look into my eyes... tell me what's wrong. What happened just now?"

Rose just shook her head. Her inhibitors were back on. It was like getting a direct injection of a sedative. She looked at him lazily, trying to focus her half lidded gaze. "Too many emotions at once. And then I put these back on." She slowly moved her hand to the opposite arm and tapped the inhibitor there.

"Rose...." he shook his head. "I have maybe three scenarios in mind.... all I'm going to ask you is if the correct one is the one that involves him." He He sat at her side and wrapped an arm around her in comfort. "I have a feeling we have been thinking along the same wave length, no?"

She kinda leaned on him when he offered it. Rose bit her lower lip and nodded. An answer for both questions.

He let out a gentle sigh and accepted her fully leaning equally into her. "It's almost poetic how those who love him the most are the ones being pushed away his hardest..." He looked to her. "I'm not his second anymore because of who he is becoming... I refuise to sit and watch another tribunal take place..." let alone be part of it's operation and condemn the very people who I always will owe my Life." He looked to her eyes again. "Sometimes the truth could be cold, and cruel, and m,ean, and unholy at times, but when the truth shows its head it takes a real fool to choke up with pride and ignore it."

"He's changed so much." She frowned. "And I hate it. I cannot stand what he's becoming. He started in on me leaving again. And how Kat and I had no room to talk about friendship or brotherhood or whatever." Rose closed her eyes. "That would explain the vibes off of Hikari. He must have given her your position."

He smiled at her. "I don't mind that, Rose... what I mind is that he had me at his side for so long... making him make the decisions you or I might take a few moments into making correctly. I blame most of this on myself... Maybe he was ill prepared because I took the burden of humanity from him for so long. I look to show him that it is in fact not a burden..." He looked at Bianca. "Rose... all of life's problems could be taken away from a man if he just looks into the eyes of his lover and believes that through them everything will always find a way in working. He and I run on alternate wavelengths of that norm... two different ends of that spectrum... you know long enough that your eyes are a comfort zone for me... and now that I have my love, Bianca... her eyes too are a comfort zone. I am a man forged soully on the bonds that I have made. Armok is different... It was only a matter of time before those differences would cause us to clash... I'm not sure yet if he understands the family he's made in us all beyond his own personal webs between them. There are many holes in his foundation which he fills with his pride and his guts which causes him to be unbendable... but bending doesn't mean you are going to break."

Rose just sighed quietly. She didn't know what to say. "I just want things to go back to normal. Thats it."

He nodded. "I know... me too... but to right the ship to the person he was... we have to right the ship away from what he is changing into. We can't do it alone. Maybe the whole Clan couldn't do it... but we can't stop fighting him on this issue... and if he banishes me... so be it... I am strong. I will keep fighting him... on a field of battle if I must. Whatever to get his attention to this cold, hard, painful, truth. His change is like a Virus... and it will swallow this clan... this country... this world... whole."

Rose looked up at him. She made a face. Something about what he said... There was no way. They were just dreams. Horrible dreams. Nothing more. Unless... "AFR, I think... I've been having visions." It had been a little over a year since her last one.

AFR blinked. "Visions... I thought you were no longer able to have them... I thought... that's what these were for." Gesturing to her inhibitors. "tell me, Rose... what of these visions?... what have you seen to make you so upset?"

"These just hold back my powers for the most part. I can still have them. But I guess they don't hurt without the inhibitors." That would explain a lot. Just like how her mental barriers were strengthened significantly when they were off. To the point of where she couldn't hear peoples thoughts unless she wanted to. "It's hard to tell. It's always dark and cold. There's no light. Anywhere. And its quiet until this creature roars and it's just this... terrifying guttural roar. Bone chilling. And it always ends the same. These red eyes staring back at me from the darkness."

AFR pondered what he was told. "Let's not jump to conclusions... but be wary... and be wise." He shook his head. "My words to him are not the poison he thinks they are. They are the medicine he has to take to get back to us." He hugged her fully. "I made a promise to you not long ago... and a promise made to you is never made to be broken. There I told you that as long as your heart is willing. I would never let him toss your love away. How willing is the heart?"

Rose sighed. "AFR, he doesn't want me anymore." That wasn't a thought Rose wanted to face. Especially after a few select things had happened between them. She buried her head in his shoulder.

He put his hand to the back of her head. "Rose... love is a battlefield all it's own. We all have wounds and scars that will never disappear... but now is a time that you have to decide whether or not to cease fire and live to fight another day... or to pull out and never fully understand what you had going. Rose.... cease fire. Let him get better. Let him see folly in his ways. I know you... you will always have love for him in your heart... let that guide you during this time he needs it without realizing it. Take his sneers with a spoonful of sugar. Because we're his last hope in this world, Rose."

Rose was shaking. She hated this. Being this emotional and sedated right now. It was messing with her head. "All I do is make him angry. Every time we talk. He gets angry." Rose was trying not to cling.

He bit his lip. "It's because he lost... Armok doesn't take kindly to losing. He takes as kindly to it as a grizzly bear being pegged in the ass with a bb gun. I think he knows he's on the losing side of a battle whenever you approach him. So he approaches you like it's a competition. That's part of his nature even before the change. Wrong, failure, and loss are not words you could find in the dictionary of Armok Von Darkmoor." He started to cling on her tho. "He's upset because your will is strong, Rose... Your passion is something he can not defeat with choice words that would make a regular soldier wet themselves. Similar to Kat. Her will was too strong, unbending to his. He can't solve his problems with us the same way he could solve his problems with anyone else. So he stands the risk of losing you."

"So what do I do?" Rose wasn't one for words or long speeches. She was just tired. That was it. She wanted her normalcy back.
