Chapter 7 War, War never changes part 5

(Jason)

=I got back aboard the Serenity. I rode the elevator back down to the crew deck, and found Miri sitting at the table=

Hey Miri. What's up?

(Miranda)

=i looked up from my book=

Oh, nothing. I've just been sitting around.

(Rain)

=I stay silent=
=Still trying to break free=

(Dante and Sarah)

=They notice Talfie begin to drift off=
=He stands and picks her up=
=They take her to her room and place her on the bed=
=They leave the room and turn off the light=
=They head off for the pool=

(Dormii)
I'll tell you why. I didn't, let, go. She is dead, there is nothing you can do to change that. All you can do, is learn from what you did, and try to prevent that in the future.

=i lean closer to him=
I've seen the way you look at Talfie. I know you like her. Do you think, Talfie, would want you to keep on living with all this rage?

(Sits in the Firing range, watching men fire, learning from observation)

(Rain)

What should I care.
She has nothing for me.
She has never ahd anything for me.
It was all attention.

(Dante and Sarah)

=They enter the pool. He takes off his shirt and arm and jumps into the pool=
=She goes off to the changing room=

(Dormii)
If you had truly cared for her, you would not care what she thinks of you, only what makes her happy.

=i get up, letting him go=
Session over. Time limit reached. Team 5 wins.

(Rain)

=I stand up. Pushing past Dormii=
=I head back into the locker room=
=I shake my head, sitting on a bench=

(Dante and Sarah)

=He sees her walk out in the suit=
=The necklace being a perfect compliment to her attire=
=He smiles as she dives in=

Dante-Must...uphold the promise

=He shakes his head as she pops up=
=He watches her=

(Dormii)
=i sigh and head back to the Trophaeum. i head to the pool room for some relaxation=

(Dante)

=As he watches her he sees Dormii enter through his periphral vision=

Hey Dormii.

=She stops swimming for a moment to wave=

Hi Dormii!

(Dormii)
=i wave back=
Heya. Just got done with a bit of training with Rain.

=i take off my gear and jump in=
Got close.

(Dante and Sarah)

=She continues her pace=

Dante-How was training my cousin.

Sarah-Didnt give you too much trouble?

(Dormii)
=i shake my head=
Not really. I think I gave more trouble than received. Dislocated one person's arm. May have bruised a rib on another.

=i let out a big sigh=
I think the worst I did to him was psychological, although he did receive a large hit to the gut due to my fist.

(Dante and Sarah)

Dante-As long as he learned something form his teacher.

Sarah-Do you think he will be okay? =She looks at Dante=

=He puts up a hand=

Dante-I am sure he will be fine.

(Dormii)
=i shake my head again=
Not so sure he did. He keeps holding onto his anger over losing his loved one. I fear that if he doesn't let it go, he may end up like me.

(Dante and Sarah)

Dante-If he does. Then. I would not know what to do

=She stops swimming and floats over to Dante=
=She stops beside him. Humming=

(Dormii)
I may...have to show him. Gods I hope I can control it long enough if I have to.

=i run my hand through my hair and look over at them=
Don't let me ruin your moment. I can wait.

=i smile and swim lazily=

(Dante and Sarah)

Dante-Moment.

=She pushes against him=

Sarah-Moment

=She giggles, blushing a bit=

(Dormii)
=i can't help but chuckle. i take a deep breath and dive to the bottom of the pool, relaxing in the weightlessness=

(Jason)

Listen, I was thinking.

=I took a deep breath, and was about to speak when--=

(Miranda)

Wait, before you say what you want to say.

=I got up=

While you were gone, I was also thinking. While i don't want to see you kill yourself taking down Vigil, I can no more sit by and get on with my life than you can, knowing what they did.

=i looked down for a moment, trying to find the words=

What I'm trying to say is, I agree, with your decision to attack them. And i will stand by you in that choice, no matter what.

(Dante and Sarah)

=She pushes harder against him=

Sarah-Dante...?

=He looks at her=

Dante-Yeah.

Sarah-Look at me...

Dante-I am.

Sarah-What do you see?

Dante-I see a beautiful woman.

Sarah(blushes)-What would you do...if I kissed you?

Dante-Listen Talfie likes you. Like...really likes you. I do not want to stand in the way of that.

(Jason)

=I never cried, but I felt my heart constrict. It was, a strange feeling. I couldn't call it love, pride, sorrow, or shame. All I could do, was feel. I walked over to her, and embraced her. I embraced, my wife=

(Dormii)
=i feel my thoughts start to fade as i relax, all my burden's letting go=

(Sarah)

=She moves in front of him=
=Her hips moving=
=She giggles=

Come on Dante.

=She leans up. Close to his mouth=

Have some fun

=She pulls back. Her hips move harder against him=

(Dante)

Hmm...

(Dylon)
=i sit in my room, looking over my notes on my family. I can't decide whether or not to burn them. i rest my head in my hands and think=

(Dante)

=He feels her=
=He shakes his head=

Sarah. It is late.
We must get some rest.

(Sarah)

=She stops and sighs=

Okay...

=They get out of the pool and head off to their rooms=

(Dormii)
=i surface, and notice that they have left the pool. i get up, get my gear on, and head to the hanger for sleep=

(Dylon)
=i decide to keep them, just a bit longer. i climb into my bed and go to sleep=

(Dormii)
=i take the Pelican up into orbit and fall asleep in the zero G=

=i wake up=

huh? i've must have fallen asleep and they carried me back...




(sorry, i didn't mean to fall asleep on you guys... D:)

=He wakes up slowly=
=Thinking of her=
=The way she moved=

Hmm...

=He shakes his head=
=He stays in bed for a few more minutes=

(Sarah)

=She wakes up=
=She goes to the bathroom for a shower=
=Once finished she gets a new set of clothes on=
=She heads off to the pool=

Do do do do do

=She puts in her earbuds=

Ah...Evanescence.


(Its aight)

=i go to the mess hall and get some waffles, i head to the pool with them not going in, just sitting on the edge, i begin eating=

*munch, munch* hi sarah! *munch, munch*

(Sarah)

=She floats around in the pool=

Hi Talfie!

(Sarah)

=She shrugs=

Good

(Dante)

=He gets out of bed and heads off to the pool=

I'm okay...

=i'm stretch=

(Sarah)

=She laughs=

You fell asleep last night in mid conversation

=She fakes a gasp=

I was so hurt.

=She laughs=

(Dante)

=He enters the pool and takes off his shirt and arm=
=He jumps into the pool and begins doing laps=

sorry bout' that...

i was just tired from being stressed out from crying.

(Sarah)

=She continues floating around=

The water's nice. isnt it?

(Dante)

=He nods=

So nice

i could heat the water up more...

(Sarah)

If you want to

=She floats over to her=

(Dante)

I will not object to that.

=He continues his laps=

=ii heat the pool up=

how's that?

(Sarah)

Perfect

=She giggles=

(Dante)

Hmm

so, what do you wanna do today, sarah?

(Sarah)

I dunno.
What do you want to do?

*giggle* i dunno, it's up to you.

(Sarah)

=She crosses her arms=

Well. We are at a standstill.

=She giggles=

indeed... *giggle*

= i cross my arms as well=

well, we could always go somewhere alone...

(Sarah)

Hmmm
We could

=She looks at Dante=

Hmm

=She looks up at Talfie=

Hmm.

so, how about it...

(Sarah)

Not right now.

=She sighs=

(Dante)

Have you thought about it. About who.

awww....

*giggle* later then?

=i lay on the edge of the pool=

(Sarah)

=She giggles=

Perhaps.
If youve been a good girl.

=She leans against the wall of the pool=
