Cαɴ'т ѕтop, woɴ'т ѕтop (Crim)

[pipintan]

Cybele stares at herself in the mirror, completely and utterly ashamed of what she said. But...is it entirely her fualt? After all, he had been the one to kiss her first. So, in all actuality, it's really his fault. She swallows, before splashing her face with water.

Who knows where he's planning on going. Wherever it is, she hopes that it won't take too long.

(Time skip?)

[CrimsonMoon]

-TIME . SKIP-

The ship landed, and soon there was a knock on the bathroom door," Cybele, i'm leaving... Follow me if you want but, this is where we get off, pawn the ship, and I move on..." He calls through softly

[pipintan]

There is silence in the bathroom, before her voice calls out, "Where are you going? I...I want to know my options before I decided." In reality, she's stalling the moment of walking out there, with or without him by her side.

[CrimsonMoon]

" Away." He answers softly, his footsteps already receding quickly, there was the loud vacuuming sound as the old air from the jnside of the ship was sucked out

[pipintan]

"That's not a good answer!" The bathroom door flies open to reveal a rather flushed looking Cybele. "You can't just say, 'away' and leave like that!" She calls after him, looking like she's debating between following him or not.

[CrimsonMoon]

" Why not?" He counters suddenly turning to ward her angrily," If you hadn't made me seem like a monster, none of this would have happened!! So like Hell if I care what you do or say!!" He snaps, feeling his mind begin to coil painfully again, but he ignores it, shoulder his pack and stepping out into the harsh sunlight

[pipintan]

"I made you seem like a monster?" She shouts, her voice shrill and her own irritation rolling off in waves. "That's your own d*mn fault, you were the one that broke my hand, I was taking care of you. How is that my fault?" She runs after him, grabbing his arm, trying to slow him down. "You can't go around blaming other people for who you are, soldier," she says firmly, gritting her teeth.

[CrimsonMoon]

" I'm not a soldier! Not anymore." He growls, pulling away from her as gently as he could but it was rather clear he was struggling not to just knock her aside," I- get away from me, alright? If you had been in the same agony i had been, you would have been frightened of waking up with someone trying to touch you as well!" He seems grow distant for a second, his thread throbbing

[pipintan]

She withdraws instantly, like he had slapped her. "Are you even sorry for what you did?" Her voice is so quiet, it's barely above the winds. "If you answer it- however you answer this, it'll help me decide if I want to follow you. There may be some hope, though-" Cybele breaks off, going quiet for a few moments, before standing up straighter, looking like the usual Cybele. "Well?"

[CrimsonMoon]

" I was... At one point in time," he answers with frustration, already beginning to hail a merchant over to bargain te price of the ship

[pipintan]

'I was.'

That word rings in her mind and her face goes taught with pain. She doesn't even ask for anything else; she already has all her information. What happened back at the base, would stay at the back of the base. Why bother asking anymore and risk hurting even more?

"You're right...this won't work out," she says, mostly to herself. He brought her out here, miles away from the camp. And now she's stuck out here. "So long, soldier," Cybele says, in a louder voice.

[CrimsonMoon]

" Is it so... Alien that I should be frightened once, Cybele?" His voice barely reaches her, so softly he spoke," Is it so alien that I should be labeled a monster and a threat once for being frightened and wishing to protect myself?" His voice became even softer," Is it... So awful that I want to protect you by pushing you away?" He ran a hand through his blood red hair, sighing deeply through his nose

[pipintan]

She's quiet, straining to hear what he's saying. "No. No it's alien for you to do so. But, there's no need to protect me. I've been through worse, I think I can handle it." Cybele frowns at him, speaking clearer, "I will not keep asking for you to accept this; you clearly like me and I clearly like you. Why not enjoy it?"

[CrimsonMoon]

He glances at her, seeming in disbelief," You would be an outlaw to be with me? But- you have a career, your duty to the human race-"

[pipintan]

She gives him a grim smile. "Well, I'm not anymore since you took me with you," she replies dryly.

[CrimsonMoon]

He huffs, looking almost like a pouting child as he suddenly reaches out, cupping her face in his hands,"... What am I going to do with you?" He grumbles, squishing her cheeks playfully before kissing the tip of her nose.

[pipintan]

His hands feel rough on her cheeks, though she smiles at his soft kiss. "So, that's a yes?" She asks, her voice muffled from her squished cheeks. "Because if it's a no, you're really giving me mixed signals."

[CrimsonMoon]

" It's a bregrudging 'yes' because yo ustill have the chance to go back," he huffs, releasing her before wrapping an arm around her shoulders," First, we'll have to pawn off the ship. Then we'll just find a place to stay and i'll find some work until we have enough to move out to one of the frontier moons-" he trails off as if he had given this deep thought

[pipintan]

She nuzzles into his side, a pleased smirk appearing. It seems like she won, though might as well not push it. "Works with me, I can go into the thief business, I'm a pretty sneaky girl." There is a teasing sound in her voice.

[CrimsonMoon]

" No," he replies firmly, gently but firmly patting the top of her head," We do not want to cause more waves then we already have, now be good," a small teasing tone came into his voice near the end of his chiding. He began to loudly hawk the ship, making it seem much more fabulous then it really was but- whatever would raise the price
