The huntress inwardly flinched at the name he spoke of but shook it off, placing a hand on his shoulder and trying to calm him.
"Can't change the past yeah? Even though it was...is...painful, you can't forget you're you because of it."
She wasn't exactly the best with consolation but she tried to make the air around them a bit softer.

She winced when he ripped the arm from the exo, shaking it off as they entered the elevator and dropped down to the ground level. She looked to him again, examining him, wondering why he had looked so familiar. "How do you know him?"She asked instead, walking alongside him.

Edited by Deterrentnine: 9/24/2015 12:26:42 AM"we grew up in the same village, we were friends. i remember when Jaren Ward came and started training Shin. I wanted more than anything to learn along side him. But Ward never tought me. So i taught myself. When my parents died i bought a revolver and taught myself how to use it. After that i kept training, trying to keep up with my friend, untill Ward died...and Shin left to hunt Yor." he said as he continued to walk "thats when i bought another gun, and learned to use both at the same time...and i left to go look for him." he paused for a moment "but eventually i found him...at the tower. he never told me of his duel with Yor. i just heard the stories. But eventually he just told me that he was going home, and i haven't heard from him since"
-
She grew quiet as he spoke, her mood sombered at his words. It would be odd to see the two interact after such a long time, but it was necessary. She gave Him a sidelong glance.
-
"do you know what i just realized? i havent formally introduced myself" he said as he atopped walking "Im leon" he said as he put his hand out "well my actual name is Aaron...but leon is my family name so i use that because im the last one who has that name"
-
She stopped as well and gave him a small smile, taking his hand with hers. "It's nice to formally meet you."She laughed, not missing his words of him being the last to carry his name.
-
As she finishes speaking a fallen skiff appears above them "Shit!" he says as it starts dropping in troops. he pulls both revolvers out with a twirl and starts firing them one after the other "How the -blam!- did they find me!? Hide, i can take care of them" he says as he starts picking off dregs and vandals.
-
She gave him a curious look, before heading up the nearest abandoned building, unslinging her rifle from her back. She scoped in and took out any fallen he had missed with the beauty. "hide, my ass."She scoffed, pulling the trigger once more.
-
"Sorry about the whole telling you to hide thing, its habit" he says to her over comms once all the fallen are dead "theres only one more mile to go until we're there"
-
"I'll stay up high, that way I can keep an eye out."She said over the secured comm channel,jumping gracefully to the next roof top.
-
in no time they were at the perimeter of the village "this place is watched by the vanguard, they cant know im here" he said as he pulled a hood over his face. "you might want to take your helmet off, they don't like it when outsiders wear one" he said as he entered the village.
-
She was next to him in a split second, sighing as she reached up to take her helmet off. She hated having her helmet off, it made her feel...vuleranable. "Let's just get this over with."She said, tucking her helmet under her elbow as they walked.
-
"trust me...this place is safe." he said glancing at her "damn its been a while since ive been here, but it hasn't changed a bit. His house is just up here on the left...right next to mine" When they enter the house theres a hunter sitting in the corner, with his face covered. "Shin" Leon says "i need a favor from you" "And who might you be" Shin replies pointing his Last Word at him. Leon closes the door and removes his hood "its me" "Aaron? Where the hell have you been all of these years?" he said as he put his hand on Leons shoulder. "I was exiled" "For What?" "Knowing too much, the vanguard cant know im here" "Dont worry, they wont find out. so whats this favor of yours?" "We need to find Yor" Shin gave him a concerned look and asked "For what?"
-
"So we can kill him, or rather so I can."I commented finally, after deeming an appropriate time to speak up. I stood there a bit awkwardly, leaning weight on one leg and shifting to the other.

Edited by Deterrentnine: 9/24/2015 5:58:15 PM"Hmmm, that might be tricky... here Aaron, Ward left something for you" Shin said as he was reaching into his safe. He pulled out two Tex Mechanica revolers, one was white with black details, and the other way black with white details. "Ebony and Ivory, Ward made them himself. He saw how much you wanted to train with us, and he felt bad, so he made these" Leon took them and twirled them on his index fingers. "They're practically weightless" said Leon "And who might you be?" Shin said turning to Artemis.
-
She pulled her attention away from Leon and towards the hunter, offering a light smile. "I'm Artemis, a previous student of Pahanin."the huntress Said. Previous was an understatement..."A pleasure to make your aquantance."
-
"Nice to meet you Artemis, if what you said is correct...that you would be the one that will slay Yor, here." he said reaching to his hip. "let this be the last thing he sees" he says as he hands the huntress The Last Word. "It was Wards, and i want him to be avenged"
-
She hesitated before taking the hand cannon, her thumb lightly tracing over the engravings on the barrel. She looked up, Veridian eyes meeting his and she nodded solemnly. "I will be sure this is the last thing he ever sees."the huntress Said reassuringly, a small smirk playing at her lips
-
"good, not about finding Yor, its not going to be easy. When i found him he was still human. but now that hes...whatever he is, the only way to find him is to get your hands on a high ranking hive, and get it to summon Yor." Says Shin "Um question, how exactly are we to do that?" Leon asks "Thats going to be up to you, because i have no honest to God clue how to."Shin said as he turns to Leon.
-
"Just peachy."the girl sighed, pacing the room. She froze after a moment of thinking, turning to her companion. "Perhaps I can return to the tower and talk to Eris?"she suggested, if anyone knew the wearabouts of any hive ultra, she would know. Also, spells on how to summon Yor...
-
"That would work...except i cant exactly go to the tower. i was exiled...remember"
-
"That's why I said 'I'.."the girl said with a small, sad smile. "Or we could try and contact her from here, Hades could set up a secured link...it's up to you Leon."
-
"You can go to the tower if you want, Shin and i can catch up while you're there" he said as he looked at her.
-
The huntress nodded, Hades materializing from Leon's armor and returning to her own. "In that case...I'll see you gentlemen later."She said, Hades transporting her to her Ship.

"um hey...could you do a favor for me? talk to Ikora about my banishment...please? also i might have something useful for you in my vault" he said over the comms.
