"Better" She grinned and pointed at her head. "I remember now."

*AFR offered her a real smile* " Wonderful, It's good to have the old Rose back..." *AFR hugged her gently... he was acting odd... the mark was making him draw on others a hell of a lot more then usual... He was acting rather pathetic... but he needed someone to care after all of the events that occured...*

She nodded, happy to be back. Rose hugged him back.

*AFR enjoyed her warmth he got a bit clingy... outlandish for someone who was supposed to be leader, but too common for someone as damaged as AFR had been* " I miss normality... I miss the title of Second in command... It's all on my shoulders... and it's so heavy, Rose..."

She blinked. "Armok handed over the leadership?" Rose hadn't heard about this. She had missed a lot.

"Armok has involved herself in a personal mission in Darkmoor... she denied anyone's assisstance. More heads would cause confusion in a very tempermental manuever that can not afford any mistakes, while she is out I have been passed her torch." *He shook his head and held her tight* "I can't do it... I am not like her, so self-apologetic... she is always looking ahead while I look back at the mistakes I have made as a leader and father..."

Rose sighed lightly. "Armok left in the middle of this mess?" The only thought that could come to mind was 'oh lovely'. "You just have to try and be positive, AFR" she nodded with a smile

*He slowly slipped away from her* "Positive... yes... positive..." *He rubbed his head* "I suppose with the people around me it's possible... but when I am left alone that is when it hurts the most... I've never felt more alone... and that the fight is so lop sided... Kari is trying to sully my name, but there isn't enough good to do such a thing." *the mark burned his shoulder.* "not much to be proud of, Rose..."

She blinked. "Sully your name?" Rose couldn't help but tilt her head to the side. "No one would believe her, silly." She smiled slightly. She thought about Hikari for a few moments. She had never thought her to be that type of person. But, of course, its the people you least expect. How frustrating. "How 'bout we go for a walk?" She stood up, his coat still draped over her shoulders

*AFR nodded and Rose beside her* "Yes, walks are good... action seems to lift the guilt..."

"Good." She walked to the edge of the roof and looked down. Grinning, she looked back at AFR. "Not too far of a jump."

*AFR saw what she was looking at but quickly turned away...* "I... Can't... I can't look down there..." *He looked ashamed... what a softy AFR turned out to be when he dropped his guard.* "Bad experience at a ropes course"

Rose's grin slowly faded into a frown. She walked over to him and poked his nose. "Then the stairs we shall take."

*AFR bit his bottom lip, was she really intending him to jump off a building?...but he digressed* "You really jump off this thing?" *The man who had no fear of death was afraid of heights... how embarrassing. He couldn't help but to be impressed* "You are quite the surprize, Rose, but a pleasent one I must admit..." * he half-smiled, but still wanted away from that ledge. He opened the door for her to the stairs.*

Rose nodded. "I've been trained." She smiled a bit. "I love it. It's a rush." She crossed her arms and started walking towards the door to the stairs.

*A hand attached to her shoulder... he shook his head, but he doesn't lose his smile* "We'll try it your way... what's the worst that could happen to me, right?" *He guided her to the ledge*... "So what's the trick?"

She grinned. "There's really no trick I suppose." Rose turned to look at the edge of the roof. "You just...jump." She was so used to it, that there was no thinking about it when she did.

*AFR took her hand* if I am to do this, I need to do it along side you, Rose... *He looked into her eyes, and refrained from looking down* "One small step off a building, One giant Leap for AFR kind." *Dispite his knocking knees, he looked as ready as he could be.*

She smiled. "It'll be fine. We're not that high up." She offered him her hand. "Are you ready?"

*AFR nodded and got a safe distance so they didn't collide, while still holding onto her hand*
"Ready when you are... ready as I shall be." *His shaking dulled, he inaudibly sighed, and centered his mind to blankness*
