Lake leaned on the hull of his ship, with his arms crossed against his chest. He was waiting for Romii. While he was waiting, he was wondering why he was helping this person. He didn't like people. Not since that one incident happened. It must've been the drinks. He couldn't back out of it now.
(( Romii ))

She stands up and applies pressure to the wound, R: " fine, I hate head wounds they bleed like fk." She removes the pressure and forcefully winces, immediately it starts bleeding again. R:" damn it,where's that vodka, give me 2 mins while I stitch this up." She finds some place to sit.
-
Lake nodded. He started scavenging off the Fallen bodies.
-
True to her word, in 2 min she is done. She now has a neat row of 5 stitches along her left cheekbone. Putting her stuff away she stands. R:" I'm good." R:" Zen anytime with that helmet please." Z:" Sorry Ro, the imaging is fried your gonna need a new one."
-
" Good. We're not too far from the first hideout." He started walking again.
-
Once again she falls in behind Lake. She briefly considers asking what his story is before deciding that it would probably be the shortest conversation ever.
-
Lake seemed to have read her mind. " You want to know about me?"

-
Lake didn't say anything at first. He was trying to figure out how to word it. ".... I was born and raised in the city. Into a family of beggars. Dad was a alcoholic and mom turned to prostitution to put food on the table. I started stealing to help out. There was this Hunter, he had a really nice looking gun. I figured I could sell it for money, so long as I got my hands on it. I tried to, but he caught me. Instead of turning me in or scolding me, he took me under his care. Taught me everything about how to be a Guardian. After I became a full fledged Guardian I started doing bounties and sending the money to my parents. Everything was good for a year. Then my dad died because of his drinking habits. My mom was gunned down three months later. The rest..... Well, I continued doing bounties and fighting the good fight. Then I met the Warlock and the other one. We ran a few missions here and there. And the rest...... Is not important."
-
She listen without interruptions, nodding occasionally if he said something that particularly resonated with her. Once he's finished she smiles gently R:" Thanks for taking the time.
-
" That didn't come free of charge. It's your turn."
-
R:" Let me get something clear, I am not being difficult I just don't know anything. But I will tell you what I do know. According to Tower records I have been a senior serving Guardian for 15 years. I ran as a liaison between the Eliskni Out at the dead zone . Three years ago I fell off the map, completely vanished. For 2 years there is nothing, even Zen is blank during that period. Then 1 year ago a couple of guardians found me living alongside some house-less Eliskni back at the dead zone . They took me to the Tower, my appearance seemed to upset some of the higher ups but no one will explain anything.
-
Lake nodded. " Well you'll know more once your memory comes back."
-
R:" I'll be honest the more time passes the more afraid I am to find out" Her eyes drop and she just rates toward the ground for a bit.
-
" Why? Afraid you did something you didn't like?"
-
R:" Afraid? Yeah I guess so? Afraid that the truth is going to reveal betrayal." Her voice is quiet and subdued. Only looking up at him when once as she spoke.
-
" Betrayal......" He stopped talking. The first hideout was right in front of them. It was a cave that's entrance was hidden with shrubbery. He parted it aside to reveal the interior. The place wasn't very large, but it was secluded and well lit. There were rugs all over the floor and primitive furniture. Lake strolled pass this towards a curtain at the end of the room. Pulling it aside revealed a narrow tunnel that led somewhere. It was tall enough to stand in but only wide enough for one person to walk in. " This tunnel leads to where the Warlock kept his workshop. This tunnel always had a problem with water leaking into it, and since this place has been abandoned for quite a while, I'm sure it's flooded. It's narrow for about five minutes and then it opens up into a much larger area. No doubt where it flooded. Ready?"
-
Romii looks around and is suitably impressed. R:"This is a nice place, won't ask how he kept it from the scavengers. Is it worth checking through there if it's flooded out?"
-
" Rather safe than sorry." Lake was about to go through the tunnel, but a voice stopped him. [i] Didn't realise I was receiving guests anytime soon.[/i] The Warlock was behind them, standing near the entrance.
-
Spinning on her heel,Romii is startled at the sudden and unnervingly stealthy arrival of the warlock.
-
" Long time no see James." [i] I'm surprised you haven't tried to shoot me yet.[/i] " I could say the same." [i] You know I'm not going to help you. Why do you keep bothering?[/i] " Look we can discuss this later, but I brought someone to see you."
-
The tension is palpable and she's wondering if this is such a good Idea after all. She steps forward. R:" I'm sorry to intrude upon you like this , but I am looking for someone, a Sunsinger named Trinity."
-
Edited by IXMMISmokey: 11/25/2015 11:07:23 PM[i] Don't know her.[/i] " She has amnesia. You have experience with memory recovery." [i] Aye, I do. Why is this Trinity person important?[/i]
-
R:" She isn't ,What I mean is she was mentioned as someone who might be able to help me. But to be honest I have found no proof to say she even exists."
-
[i] And you came to me so I could help patch your memory back up?[/i]
-
R:" I came to ask if you could help, wether that was by doing something yourself or pointing me in the right direction. Even being told there was nothing that could be done,I would at least know to stop looking.,I have to try, you understand."
