[u]"Well, well. You seem much more different than the others that I deal with. The wannabe heroes. The so-called vigilantes. I must point out how terribly annoying they get...[/u] [u]But alas, you arrive. Someone that claims to be a monster themselves. It's....interesting. To see someone identify themselves, and even see themselves...as something terrible."[/u] [i]Irina softly chuckled, although a tint of what seemed to have been suspicion was within her own laughter. It actually was new to her; meeting someone that had openly admitted to have committed punishable actions. Her body remained as still and as motionless as Lucien's, both feet firmly planted upon the earth beneath her. [/i] [u]"But the path to atonement would be a long one indeed, for I have sinned beyond measure in my lifetime. Murder, lies, thievery and selfishness have lead me to where I stand today, at the Dojo, where I am among one that hunts monstrosities such as myself. [/u] [u]Can you forgive that? A person that has slaughtered countless innocents, and murdered so many that opposed her queen, her monarch? Can I even achieve a path made up of good actions, and attempt to fix my the past that I an known for? [/u] [u]I'd be surprised.."[/u] [i]The woman fell silent once more, a sigh escaping her slight pinkish lips as she tilted her head slowly. She awaited a response, and nothing else, from Lucien.[/i]
