The Reprobate
"I will stay with you two, even if to keep an eye on Banton. Though I doubt he knows who I really am."
"Tell me when you two are ready. I just need some time to think is all."
A wide smile grew upon her fair face as she nodded at his response. Faith found her and Orerons relationship rather odd to say before hand they were unable to keep there palms off each others throats; yet she had found herself befriending him quicker than anyone ever. On top of that he was a Neco too. Maybe he was her icebreaker to a new and brighter life. At that point she turned back to face Aleph who seemed in a completely different world. She wondered if he was pondering whether to accept her or not and that made the blonde extremely uncomfortable.
"The fact that you are a homosapien means nothing to me. I have killed many people, of my race and maybe yours, for all I know. To hate one more than the other makes no sense to me. It would be akin to hating a toddler because he isn't as strong as a teen."
"I even became infamous due to some of my deeds in the war. 'Raze' is the name I was known by back then. I, along with a savage Neco and a few others, made names for ourselves in that war, but Oreron would probably agree that they were anything but respectable."
Faith laughed lightly, cocking her head with a devilish grin and bright eyes. "But you know I am just as good as you. Better in fact!" Of course that was not true, she could never even start to compare to him but for a Neco she was pretty damn good at fighting due to her past times. Her agility was perfection; nobody could move like the lioness. "I never knew anything about the war since I had avoided it until lately." She let out a sigh as a response to what he said about himself and the shelled beast.
"Asking me to stay with you makes me so happy I could cry. Hearing that you want to stay with me... I don't think I've ever wanted to hear something repeated. If you wish, you can take that as my confession. I... love you. However... I need to know something, so please, tell me: Knowing all of this. All of the lives I have probably taken, both Neco and Sapien, of the tragedies I have caused, would you still accept and forgive me?"
At that moment she was pretty sure her heart had stopped. She almost could not believe those words were falling off his tongue as she had waited so long to hear them. Butterflies began to hit hard in her stomach and she grinned up at the brunette. Though the second part of his confession was nothing to smile about. Faith was unsure what to say, of course he was forgiven. Nothing had changed from before between the two of them because of it. "Shut up." The blonde spat at him before stepping towards Aleph and leaning towards him, closing her eyes as their lips...
No.
A sudden overwhelming surge of fear and panic came over her as she paused just before they touched. She let out a sigh and moved to the left and pecked at his cheek, there was no particular reason why. Faith felt as though someone like him did not deserve to kiss such a messed up and back stabbing Sapien. After all, something in her still hated him because of his species. A little piece of her still wanted his blood on her hands. "I accept you. I'm just...scared."
