Private - Lua:

You have not been wholly truthful with me.

... he's the guy I wanted to keep myself safe from.

And he's hurt my friends. [ She knows Aleera knows about her husband, she doubts she knows about Amanda. ]

[vampish_aleera]

Which friends...? How?

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

That girl he knows from back home - the one in a coma right now. He killed the only person who's ever loved her.

And you saw what he did here. Took the kindest thing someone's ever done to him and threw it back in his face.

[vampish_aleera]

No. I know nothing of him, except how he whines and moans like old peasant fishwife. Even when he was bound to me as a brother through blood.

That he was so spiteful with his gift is not for you to take revenge on.

When someone saves you, your life's theirs. He doesn't deserve his. [ There are a lot of emotions she can sound convincing about, but that type of hatred? Not one of them, though she's trying. ]

[vampish_aleera]

Lua!

[It's sharp, like telling an aggressive dog to sit down. Possibly the most glaring insight she's given her inmate as to her own potential viciousness. Even if only audible.]

This was not for you to decree... Debts should be honoured, but one does not give servitude where it is not required. You must learn this.

[There is a pause.]

You have proven yourself unworthy of blades and other weapons. I shall take of these what you have, until you earn the right to wield them. You will offer apologies to your victim... In public.

And then I shall decide what more shall be done with you.

He knows I wish I hadn't. He knew before anybody found out.

[ She's not ruining everything she's built up. Anything else is fine, she deserves worse for wanting to sell the whole ship over, but she can't live like that. ]

[vampish_aleera]

I do not care. You will do this thing.

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

...there's more, though.

[vampish_aleera]

Go on...

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

You know about people having to cause trouble to get out of here, right?

[vampish_aleera]

I caused much the same during my time, yes.

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

No, not like that.

Got an offer when everything was going nuts: if I caused problems, I could stay safe and get out of here. Thought it'd be easy to do it to someone who wanted to kill me, right?

I couldn't finish him off. He was trying to help me, so I had to fix it.

[vampish_aleera]

He was going to kill you...?

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

[ oh Aleera she really wants to take advantage of your terrible English so much. ] He wanted to before. Not that time.

[vampish_aleera]

He knows better than to do this now...

You will make your apology within one day.

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

I can't.

I can't keep losing everyone who matters.

[vampish_aleera]

You do not lose others by expressing regret for harming them.

You will do this.

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

You don't see it. ... it's everyone else.

[vampish_aleera]

'Everyone else' did not do this. You did.

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

[ what does that even mean ]

I did. But it was one person. Not everyone.

[vampish_aleera]

[She asked herself the same question of you. c:]

This changes nothing. You must be seen to understand your mistakes. To set example for others.

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

No one's looking to me.

[vampish_aleera]

Then it should pose no problem!

[dovehearted.livejournal.com]

...but enough people trust me.
