Message: <blockquote data-quote="Strider_Koln" data-source="post: 4627688" data-attributes="member: 78265">Koln looked into Ruby's eyes, noticibly touched by her display of affection. At the same time he is confused, he threatened to kill her a few moments ago, and now she shows him such tenderness. It puzzles him, and angers him even more. He would have thought nothing of slaying her if he met her a few weeks ago, but now he... no, must remain rational. The mind forces the body afterall, or so Koln liked to think. "I really appreciate that Ruby... since we've met you've shown me such kindness, despite my history. I know what I said, and I still mean it, but I am sorry about Jacob... Now I only ask one thing from you and Clover, I am going to continue to crack under this curse while you two thrive. Clover will gain confidence in her ability and develop a strong will, and you... well I'm not sure, but I'm failry certain you will develop into something quite beautiful as well. As for me, I can feel it, they do not give up, they seem to want me dead... God damn these voices in my head. I am going to one day shatter completely, and perhaps hurt you two in the process. I want you to remember me not as a psycho, but as the virtuous man I tried so hard but failed to become." As Koln speaks his hand raises, for a moment as if to touch Ruby's hair and gently stroke, but he manages to pull his eyes away from her's, hand dropping to his side, and hating himself all the more for this internal contradiction of head and heart. "In any event, we need weapons. There are enemies everywhere... What time is it? I doubt many places are open now but I could be wrong. More clothes would be nice. Also, Ruby, I would be happy to show you some of my techniques for meditation that I learned while at the Vatican, although I warn you, they are a bit 'Eastern' in tone."</blockquote>
