He followed her instantly, recognizing where they were instantly "oh great...this place again, ill take left and you take right?"

She quickly grabbed her hair and smoothed it down. "I think I'll take my chances and stick with the one I have."She laughed, looking up to him. "I'm not sure where to go from here. I've yet to destroy the Thorn."
-
"Wait a minute, let me get this straight. You have all 3 Hand Cannons of legend. In your possession right now" he said as he looked at her with a curious look.
-
She blinked before letting put a sheepish laugh. "Erm...yeah, I guess I do..."
-
"So youre basically all powerful" he said with eyes wide.
-
She looked to him, giving him a curious look. "I'm no different then yesterday."She said with a smile. "Now, let's head to my safe house and rest up?"
-
"Yeah, that would be nice" he said as he put the revolvers at his side
-
She nodded and they made their way to the church tower they were in two days prior. It felt like ages ago, so much conspired within the time. They reached the bell tower, the girl securing the perimeter and turning to him. "There's a bunk for you over there, make yourself at home." She said, discarding her cloak and draping it over a chair. The huntress made her way to the circular stained glass window, sitting where a chunk had gone missing, overlooking the deadzone.

"You still dont know why i did everything i did...do you" he said as he sat down
-
She gave him a sidelong glance, leaning her head against the frame. "I've been trying to figure it out but I cant."She said truthfully, turning herself fully to face him, legs dangling over the frame. "So why?"
-
"well, i see something in you. something that i have never seen in anyone else." he said with a smile as he turned to her
-
She quirked an eyebrow, giving him a curious look. "What do you see that could possibly be worth dying for?"
-
"i saw myself, but someone who hasn't made the same mistakes i have. and you have alot of life ahead of you, thats whats worth dying for"
-
She was silent for a moment, looking away and thinking of his words. The girl leaned her head against the frame while looking to him and gave him a soft smile. "I have made many mistakes Leon."She said with a sad sigh.
-
"Not ones nearly as bad as mine, ive slaughtered men in cold blood. i was exiled from the tower...im a bad person. and i wanted to do at least one good thing."
-
"You're not a bad person..."She said, removing herself from her perch and closed a bit of distance between them. "You were...are my light, and we both know light cannot be bad."her voice was light, soothing almost.
-
"you don't understand" he said as he looked at the floor. "thats why im not a guardian anymore"
-
She closed the distance fully, grabbing his hand. "[i]you[/i] don't understand."She began, using her other hand to lift his chin up so he'd look to her. "You may have done some wrong in your life, but what you don't realize is you've done a lot of good as well. Killing Atheon..Dredgen, saved countless lives...besides."She said looking away. " 'Guardian' is just an elaborate term."
-
he sat there for a while not saying anything "I...I just...all my life ive been told that im a bad person, and that all i do is hurt people. And they told me that im not of the light and that im just as bad as the darkness." he said as tears started going down his face.
-
The girl felt torn, seeing him break down, tears cascading down his cheeks. She brought both hands to his face, cupping his jaw. "Leon, I have seen nothing but good come from you. You are different from these '[i]guardians[/i]."She began, a little anger laced in her voice as she said the word, but she looked to him."You are hope."
-
He couldn't speak, even if he could he wouldn't know what words to say. but eventually they came to him "you...you gave me purpose again"
-
The girl gave him a soft smile, genuine and pure as she used her thumb to wipe away the last of the stray tears. "I have lost so many throughout my time, and I lost my way, but, you gave me purpose as well."
-
he didnt know what to say, all he could do was sit there and stare at her. she meant everything to him and he didn't know why. but as hard as he tried he couldn't think of any words. so he continued to sit there.
-
"Best to get some rest, I'll keep watch."She said to him, standing up. The sun had entered the final stage of setting, dark colors illuminated by the moon surfacing.
-
"no you sleep, you need it more. i had enough rest while I was dead."
-
She was about to protest, but knew it would be a pointless battle. Besides, she had no energy, the past two days catching up to her as she sat on the cot. "You win."She chuckled, letting out a sigh.
