At the question, Sasha just shrugged, and looked down, away, feeling embarrassed. She didn't speak for a time, instead, she just thought. [color=6ecff6]"I don't think it was any one thing"[/color] She said softly, looking up now, giving another shrug, [color=6ecff6]"It was just...the little things, that not everyone would notice. Your smile. That glint in your eyes. Your speech. And...well"[/color] and now her cheeks pinked, and she had to look away again. [color=6ecff6]"A copy, no matter the fact that essential, he was you, isn't the same as you"[/color]

She looked over to the Princess, as she climbed the steps, stopping for a moment and resting a hand on Edo-Jamie's shoulder. Then Sasha shook her head again. [color=6ecff6]"No. We need to let her do this by herself now. She has to claim the leadership by herself, and not with magic backing her up. She will be okay. The Phoenix Wing members here...they are tougher perhaps then we are, because of the lack of magic"[/color]

Edo-Sasha snarled, turning back around, her fists clenched, she nudged Edo-Lazarus with a foot, and it was doubtful anyone could have predicted her reaction. It exploded from her, in a furious, almost hurt tone. [color=0072bc]"You have no right to say that! No right to even think it! No right, you Don't even know me! Radiant? I don't stand out. I never have"[/color]

And that was the route of all her issues, wasn't it? The reason she dressed how she had. After all, when you came from a mother who barely looked at you, as if it hurt to even see her face, what were you meant to feel? She wasn't even seen by her own family. Except for Ben. Until Master Jamie had stumbled across her, accepted her into the guild, she had never truly felt like she had been seen. And now some idiot had almost said he loved her?

It had to be some sort of joke. 

She snarled again, and turned aside. She stalked away, but only a few steps. What would have been the point of saving him, just to let the damn fool get attacked again?

Liana listened as Gentsai spoke. She knew he was just wanting the best for her, but the thing with being 'lost' for several years, was that no one truly knew her. She waited patiently for him to have his say, and then was silent for a few moments. She shook her head. 

[color=f6989d]"Jellal lied because that was the only option. Your forget a part of history. Magic has always been abused by the people of Edolas. That is why there was such a...lose of it. Besides, there must be a balance between Earthland and Edolas, or things are bad for our two worlds. I do not believe, after actions here, that Edolas is ready for magic again. I do not believe it would be for the best of the people, for I think people would abuse it once more. And then we will be back to how things were 100 years ago. And I will not see that."[/color]

She paused, and then sighed. [color=f6989d]"You probably think that everything I've done to get here has already corrupted me. It hasn't. I hurt for my people. While I know this pain and suffering, all this today, was necessary, I wish it weren't so. I hurt, knowing that there are now Widows or Orphans because of this, and I will do everything in my power to make sure they are okay. The Throne won't corrupt me, because the people of Edolas already have. They are mine to look after, and I will. I'm taking the Throne, so I can do just that"[/color]


[center][b]Penny[/b][/center]

Perhaps Penny was simply tired. Or perhaps she was just sick of what was going on. She turned to Karn, or the Karn look a like, and stared at him, hard. After a few moments, she said [color=f7976a]"I don't give a rats arse who you are. All I want to know is if Karn is here, or back home, safe. Because the damn furball needs watching or he will get himself into serious trouble, and i don't want that, and if he's back home I know he's safe with the guild. If you are Karn, here, then you aren't safe. Because none of us are safe at the moment. So. The truth. Are you, or are you not, the Karn I know in Earthland"[/color]
