Echo blinked, her eyes narrowing. "Why the bloody hell would I beg for death?" She raised her arms at her side, perhaps thinking herself to be clever. "I've lived five hundred years, nothing's going to stop me now. I've seen whole cities get wiped out and replaced in the blink of an eye. I've lived through the Plague, seen the internet come to fruition, and was there when they rebuilt the Tower Society from scratch. You think I'd ever stoop down so much as to beg for death? Thick are you?" Echo suddenly broke out in a grin, "I'm not going to give up on my goal just because I'm tethered to someone else and I have to use Gwenyth to achieve this goal, then fine. I'll bring her into it. It's not a dream because I'm going to make it a reality. That's why I don't have dreams, because I achieve them."
You couldn't have dreams if they had come true, could you? Echo was now in America, there were still so many things she could do, so many sights to see, people to meet and inevitably hate. "You can plot and plan all you want, but even if you count every step, you never know what's going to happen next." Echo shook her head, "you can't either, you overthinking prat you." Echo looped her arm through Flo's so that the two could go on their walk. Echo was no longer restricted to just campuses, she was allowed out on her own. However, demons in America had a curfew and they were expected to be back at the Tower Society before ten PM that evening. Despite the rigid laws, demon chaos was no different here. Echo had heard the tales, the ones where demons lurked down piss alleys to wait for little children or women to pass by so that they might prey on them.
Echo herself had beaten up plenty of those scum who chose to spend their time hurting others rather then self improving. Admittedly, Echo had been one of those demons for a while. Bitter, thinking the world had owed her something because she had been born into the wrong species and had been enslaved by humanity. England was getting better, they were loosening their hold on demon-human affairs and allowing the Tower Society to focus on demon involvement so that the Yard could exclusively work on human criminals and catching drug lords, which wasn't much of a problem after the Third Impact.
"Solved your dilemma? All I did was insult you," Echo grinned that signature fanged grin of her's. "Well, I guess I'm good at something after all."
