You Want Another Scar? Okay... (Hayl)

[Aello]

Aello's lips curled into a sinister smile. "You honestly believe that I fight for nothing?" Aello asked. "That there is no one in this pitiful world that I would bother to look after? To protect?" The girl pushed her blade a little harder, inching it into the man's flesh. "How very wrong you are street rat... whether or not you want to believe it, everyone fights for something. Sometimes, it seems like they fight for themselves, and only themselves. That they are selfish. But this isn't truly the case, for even those fight for whatever it is they believe in. Perhaps, even, some of the gods that look down upon them fondly." Aello paused, as she jerked the man's head up even higher, so that his eyes would be locked on her own. "Although no words can describe precisely what it is I fight for, street rat, there are a few people I fight to protect from the cruelty of this world," Aello growled. "The first is a girl known as Alenias. The second, a man named Nex. Third, are those already gone. Those which may never be brought back." Aello paused again, taking time to swallow the clump of saliva that had gathered in her throat. "Although it is difficult to find happiness in this city. This place where darkness lingers even in the light of day, I am well enough." Aello pulled her blade an inch to the right, slowly. "Although, the same may not be said of you." Aello pulled her blade away from Hayl's neck, and pushed his head down. Unwinding her fingers from his hair. Releasing her grip. Letting him slump down, towards the ground, should he fail to catch himself. She would wait a moment, allowing her gaze to bore into the man's flesh before she leaned down again. Wiped the blood of her blade on his shoulder. "Now, is that all street rat?" she asked, before placing her free hand beneath his chin, and tilting it up towards her. Letting his blood swell against her fingers. "Is it time for me to go, and leave you in peace. To make the journey from this place, into the next?" Aello asked. OOCIt wouldn't really be outta character. But you wants to live... so she will probably just leave you there after another round of posting.
