Foxi's Para-RP

[Ace_Price]

Ace smiles "I have to keep this city up or all other clans and villages will go to war bringing havoc and despair to the lands again." Ace looks down and sighs "We shouldn't talk about this. We should be having fun."  

[Foxi Doll]

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lower your moral," she apologized. "But I don't want to disillusion you either. There are things in this world that you cannot always go against and win. Things that were not here before. And they would eat you alive while your comrades fled or be devoured themselves. You can't protect everyone by destroying everything else!"

As she talked Senaka looked away, not trusting herself to look at him. If she did she would cry, and she would not could not. Not again.  

[Ace_Price]

"So what am I supposed to do then? Let my race go extinct? Let the world go back to a barbaric society in which only the strong survive?" Ace says with a tear swelling on the corner of his eyes eyes  

[Foxi Doll]

"Why is it always black or white with you people?" She asked looking at him again. "Just because you shouldn't live to destroy and dominate others of your own kind does not mean you should revert to being barbarians."  

[Ace_Price]

Ace looks down again and stays silent this time then turns away wiping a small tear away quickly and stares across the street  

[Foxi Doll]

Realizing what is happening, Senaka abruptly stands, ignoring the wince of pain.

"Not again," she murmurs. Stepping away from Ace into the sun, she squints against the light, her glimmer eyes fading to gray. Her hands clench and unclench at her sides, the water bottle forgotten in the sand.  

[Ace_Price]

Ace dries his eyes and stands up and turns around hiding the sadness :How about we go back to the infirmarary...." Ace says and starts to walk towards base  

[Foxi Doll]

Taking another step back, she waited for him to strike, but his sadness brought more pain than any blow he may have dealt. She expected him to lash out, be offended, or boast that he could face anything. Just like all the others. But unlike all the others he turned away and walked off, shoulders hunched in symbolic defeat.

'Maybe at last there may be hope for these children,' she thought.

"It's decided then," she announced as she walked. Taking a few large strides, she stopped directly in front of Ace, forcing him to face her.

"Against my better judgment and the minor oath of silence I took, I hereby propose to you, General, this: I shall help you as guide and guardian until such a time as peace arises or death takes me. In return you must promise that you will not raise the lands with destruction, or go to war with anyone of your fellows. What say you?"

Even as she spoke, Senaka felt a quirk of a smile pull at his lips. It wasn't everyday that Nobles helped out humans, let alone swear allegiance to them.  

[Ace_Price]

Ace gives a smile And salutes her "I general Price hereby recognize you as a member of our society giving you clearance to this base at anytime needed and I swear I will not go to war even if they declare it unless you say so, or we are being invaded." A small tear runs down from his left eye down his cheek but a smile can be seen on his face  

[Foxi Doll]

Senaka smiles back. "Agreed."
"Alright, now that that's settled. Let's go get something to eat." Sidestepping, she resumed walking, now beside Ace. It had been many years since she joined the fray, helping the child race. Maybe this time it wouldn't end in disaster and defeat.

"I have a feeling we'll need the energy."

Only time would tell.  

[Ace_Price]

Ace looks around as they walk "Hey I have a question...Why do you call us a child race? I mean we are still the most technologicly advanced society found so far and have been around for millions of years. So why are we children to you?" Ace asks nervously."  

[Foxi Doll]

"Because no matter how long you live, and no matter how advanced you are, or even how long your kind has been around. . . you still act like children," Senaka explained with a smile on her face.

"You always try to one up the other. Squabble amongst yourselves. Fight over the same toy when it would be easier if you shared." With a shrug she added," I'm sure it's also a bit of a superiority complex amongst my kin as well. Many of them believe there is no use in trying to reason with you, because just like children, whenever we try to explain things or guide you, we end up ignored or persecuted."  

[Ace_Price]

Ace laughs a bit then enters the restaurant and sits down at a table waiting for a waiting for a waiter "So what do you want to eat?" Ace says looking at the menu  

[Foxi Doll]

"Coffee, maybe a sandwich. What does this place specialize in?" she asked as she took a seat opposite the General. Looking around she saw that the place was about half full, which was a good sign. People tended to frequent places that served good food.  

[Ace_Price]

"I think they serve mostly subs here so I will get an Italian sub." Ace says putting his menu down as the waiter reaches them "Oh and a Rootbeer."
