自由な世界へ (Jiyuuna sekai e... )

[A friend huh? When was the last time anyone was this sincere besides those who wished to achieve the same goal as him? Was... Was she like this too? Aion was about to answer when he senses and hears the presence of yet someone else in the building. His demeanor changing, the sinner stepped out and gave a smirk along with a sigh.]

Well well. The holy saint herself, Mary Magdalene, and alone nonetheless. It's been a while. You didn't bring him along with you? Or have you decided to finally accept our deal?

From:

[Lilith turned around, a little surprised to see Mary in the hallway.]

Did you come to see me, Mary?

From:

I saw that Azmaria had been here and was worried. I apologize if I am intruding on anything.

From:

I figured it would come down to this. [He narrowed his eyes and gravely spoke his next line.]

Despite being dead, I see you still have the ability to foresee things. I take it you're certain of the risk you're taking by coming here and admitting this?

From:

Aion.

[Lilith reached for his shoulder gently.]

What harm does Mary could mean? And no, dear, you are not interrupting anything.

From:

Yes, I am aware of the possible risks. But I wished to come to speak with you myself.

From:

[He ignored the hand on his shoulder as his eyes stayed darted at the Saint. One hassle after another with irritation building inside of him.]

I've already said all that was needed. There's nothing more. Though simply for knowing the truth, I can't let you leave as well.

From:

She's a guest.

[Lilith said firmly, almost scolding at his tone of voice.]

You will treat her with politeness under our roof.

From:

Thank you, Lilith. I apologize for being such a burden.

You're worried because I will inform Chrono of where Azmaria may be, is that not right Aion? That is your concern?

From:

[Aion averted his eyes towards Lilith's general direction for a moment before going back to the Saint's, clenching his teeth. She was far from a guest. He knew missing this step of the plan will be the downfall of it but...]

That power alone is enough amongst other things. [Pandemonium. How angry that name made him feel.] I'll have your head if that's what it'll take.

From:

Chrono is already on his way, Mary, you shouldn't have come.

[She tightened her grip without making it painful.]

Having your head removed isn't pleasant, Aion. Stop and listen to her.

From:

Yes, I suppose you are right, Lilith. But now I know.

I'm sorry again for being such a trouble. That wasn't my intention.

From:

[Aion gripped Lilith's hand on his shoulder as he turns towards her angrily.] Don't get in my way, Lilith.

[He narrowed his eyes as the Saint took a step back and quickly reached his arm out in attempt to grab her.]

From:

I cannot let you harm her, Aion.

[She moves as quickly, pushing Mary to a side.]

If you wish to keep her here, do it without harming her!

From:

From:

[Aion drew back and deadly stared at her.]

Move out of the way, Lilith. You truly think she'll stay without some force?

From:

[She remains where she is and asks without looking at the woman.]

Mary, until Chrono comes here. Would you like to stay with me?

From:

Yes, that is fine.

From:

[That completely defeats the purpose! He glanced from one person to the other as he barked.]

There is no mutuality in this! [What was Lilith thinking? What would that do for him? There was no use either way, fighting here could possibly risk the chance of losing the apostles and if he were to show up now there was no chance without anyone to back him up. He'll have to move them after Lilith leaves tomorrow. She should be able to greatly help him at a time like this. An idea churning inside. He placed his hand onto his glasses as he spoke calmer.]

I'll let her leave under one condition, Lilith. If that idiot comes, be the mediator and make sure he doesn't enter this premise. You want to play fair, let's place a bet on this. Let the true battle begin tomorrow. [He could always keep a close eye on Mary in other ways.]
