"Damn it, that bastard's taken too much from us. Made my life a living hell, and I'd argue that he did much worse to you. I think I know what he did with your emotions, too. He's probably using them to fuel Javic. Who knows what happens after that. I don't even know what he does with stolen emotions. He mostly boosted mine, so that he could siphon them whenever they ran exceptionally high."
Vernon looks at himself, and then at Kent, then to the sky. Strangely enough, he starts to laugh.
"Heh, it's kinda funny, I have too many emotions, to the point where they are my armor and weapon, but you can't feel a thing. We're practically two sides of the same cursed coin."

Kent smiles then let's out a chuckle, "Don't mention coins around me, Vernon. You and I both know what I used them for." He sheathes his bowie knife on his shoulder, then rests his elbows on his knees; running his fingers through his hair. "We've experienced quite a bit. Enough bloodshed to leave us broken... time, after time."
-
"Oh, yeah. I forgot about that." Vernon stares at the Dojo, with a smile on his face. He relaxes, seeming to be momentarily at peace. "Yet, we have to ask the question; are we two shattered men, going around from place to place with no rhyme or reason? Or have we been broken so many times, that we know how to put ourselves back together so well that we're so much stronger for it? I think I may know the answer, but what's your take on it?"
-
He stares at the Dojo as well, then gives his answer. "I agree with the latter. We have been broken enough times to the point where we know how to repair ourselves. And because of that we grow and overcome the things that once defeated us."
-
"If I had a drink, I would toast to that." Vernon sits up, and then rises to his feet. "So, I think you're good to enter if you want. If you wanna duel anyone, though, you've either gotta fight a sensei, or Tesuto. I'd recommend looking for Tesuto around red walls." Vernon then turns around, and offers his hand to Kent to help him up. "Unless, of course, you wanna add anything else."
-
Kent takes the help up to his feet, then puts his helmet back on. "I'm good. Thanks for the advice." He sighs then looks towards the Dojo again. "I'm glad we got to talk for a bit. We'll probably see each other around eventually."
-
"Eventually. It's a surprisingly small place." Vernon begins to walk away, but he stops, and turns around. "Hey, if you want, I may know of two ways you could get your emotions back. One of the ways is suicide without a team, however."
-
Kent shrugs, "Why the hell not? What do you got for me?"
-
"Well... the less dangerous option would be stabbing you with Despair, and maybe the flow of emotion that it causes would... jumpstart you, for lack of a better term. Or, we would have to fight and beat Javic when he's got quite a bit of power. Whenever he's majorly beaten, his armor reverts to a much less powerful state, and you can almost feel the power he once had flowing away. Maybe if we get you near that, your emotions would return. They're both really big "ifs." One could get you killed, the other could leave you with no emotions aside from anger and sadness."
-
Kent looks down at the ground for a moment, then up at the Dojo. "I think I can live with little to no emotions for a while. Hasn't done me much harm since I lost them." He sighs. "It's better than possibly dying or becoming angry and sad for a good while."
-
Vernon shrugs, as if he expected that response. "Alright. If I ever fight Javic though, you'll get a call."
-
[spoiler]Sorry for the late reply.[/spoiler] Kent nods. "Will do." With that he leaps down into the Dojo, making his way towards the nearest pub.
-
[spoiler]It's alright.[/spoiler] Vernon nods slightly, as if expecting that much out of Kent. He then puts his helmet back on, and stares out onto the landscape of Tatakai. Under his helmet, Vernon's smiling to himself. "Maybe this place'll be safe after all. Forever."
