Dominique

"Sorry, I just... Just hate seeing you get hurt."

Dominique nodded quietly, she could understand that. No one liked to see something like that, she wouldn't like it either. But well, hating to see someone getting hurt and telling them to go do something safe instead of spending their life the way they want to was a bit different. She would never do that to him, that would just be mean. But the fact that he hadn't thought about that before saying it made her feel even less like an equal, she didn't like that but she held her mouth either way.

"I know you aren't fragile, but is there anything I can do? It was my own damn fault that you were struck in the face, I should been more aware. Should of saw it coming and trigger the shocks before she even had the chance. Why am I always making mistakes? I try to be good, I tried learn my mistakes. You told me nobody's born bad, and I said I that I trust you. And I want to, I try to, but with reality- I don't know anymore..."

That was a bit confusing, she wasn't sure what it was that he wanted to be said. He just sounded confused... She wasn't sure what it was that he wanted to hear but she gave him a small smile before she patted his shoulder, "Listen, don't blame yourself for it, okay? I knew that by saying that I would most likely get attacked but I said it either way. I choose to do that because I hoped for her to spit something useful out while enraged. Sadly she didn't so I failed, it was my own fault and I sacrificed myself. I wasn't counting on you to save me, it was me who planned it all, sure I wasn't counting on her to actually attack my face but I guess I should just be happy that it wasn't the shoulders. Nothing was your fault, it was all me."

She paused and walked up to the door opening it for him, "Go and rest Butch, sleep a bit and you will see that everything will feel a little bit clearer tomorrow. You need rest to be able to think, don't try to solve mysteries while exhausted. And I really want to get back to my place so I can take something for the pain and lie down. You don't need to look after me, don't bring yourself down over nothing."
