*Stands behind her house, in a cleared space in all the snow. Her coat is discarded a few feet away. After a moment, she starts a series of quick movements, obviously a practiced pattern*

[[ooc: Feel free to interrupt her, or come by and watch~]]

she'd be more sympathetic if she wasn't so ANGRY

[corrinesbell]

I know.

*picks up her speed again*

It has to stop, somehow. Something needs to be done. *to herself, really*

*watches, trying to take his mind off of his own helplessness*

[corrinesbell]

*stops and stares at him*

...Look. I haven't known you for very long, but you don't really seem like the type to sit around looking pitiful like that.

[moonstone-curse.livejournal.com]

I'm... going to find him.

[corrinesbell]

And get yourself captured, too? That'll do a lot of good.

*she really doesn't mean to be so harsh, but...it's kind of a front*

[moonstone-curse.livejournal.com]

...At least I can protect him, then.

[corrinesbell]

Can you?

*stops and stares at him, arms crossed*

You don't think they're capable of separating you from him? Of making sure you two never see each other?

[moonstone-curse.livejournal.com]

I'll find him. No matter what, I'll find him...

[corrinesbell]

Of course you'll find him. And then the Malnosso, damn them, will drag you off some other way, and you'll both be gone.

[moonstone-curse.livejournal.com]

I won't let them separate us again.

I...

Lavi is...

I can't...

[corrinesbell]

*slightly less...shouty*

I know what you think you can do, and I know you want to, and I know nothing I say is going to stop you--

*looks away slightly*

But...if you have to go, don't try it by yourself.

[moonstone-curse.livejournal.com]

I... I'm choosing the danger knowing the risks. I can't... ask someone else to go with me...

[corrinesbell]

Allen, you don't think there are other people here who know the risks and would do it anyway?!

[moonstone-curse.livejournal.com]

...I...

But...

[corrinesbell]

I'm not telling you not to go after him, but if you do and you just get yourself captured, all you've accomplished is making more people worry.

[moonstone-curse.livejournal.com]

I...

I know, but... I... have to go.

[corrinesbell]

So take someone with you.

*one of her knives lands just in front of his right foot, stuck deep into the frozen ground*

[moonstone-curse.livejournal.com]

*knows she's offering, but doesn't dare to assume*

*bends and picks up the knife, studying it, carefully avoiding looking at her*

Someone...

[corrinesbell]

*stands there holding the other one. She needs them both to keep practicing. It was a kind of offer, but she'll let Allen decide for himself*

[moonstone-curse.livejournal.com]

*hesitates, and knows he'll feel guilty for it if something happens to her, but... also knows that she's right, and that she's offering*

Sheena, will you... come with me?

[corrinesbell]

...Yes. ...But I'll warn you, if it gets to the point where it's escape with just the two of us or be captured...

*leaves off there*

[moonstone-curse.livejournal.com]

I... won't put you in danger.

[corrinesbell]

I was thinking more along the lines of, 'I'll drag you away if I have to knock you out to do it,' but I'll accept that for now.

*still needs that knife back*

[moonstone-curse.livejournal.com]

*gives the knife a curious look and hands it back*

Hmm... Sheena, I don't... think I've ever seen you fight. That's what you were practicing when I came here, isn't it?

[corrinesbell]

*takes it*

Yeah. This isn't how I usually fight, though. My regular style has some...problems here, without the mana to use my more powerful techniques. Lloyd suggested I try some other weapon, and...well, this is what I'm best at, after cards.
