"I'll listen if you want to explain."

Subject: Axel Sun Nov 11, 2012 5:26 pm

'You won' like it, so i keep it quiet?'

Subject: Phoenix Sun Nov 11, 2012 5:26 pm

I shrug. "It's your choice. I won't push you if you don't want to say anything."

Subject: Axel Sun Nov 11, 2012 5:30 pm

'Na, friends supposed to trust each other. I come here because..' he inahled, bracing himself. 'Because Strayers take my life away from me, when I was child. My purpose only been retirbution.'

Subject: Phoenix Sun Nov 11, 2012 5:32 pm

I know the Strayers aren't exactly saints...

"Can I... can I ask what they did?"

Subject: Axel Sun Nov 11, 2012 5:34 pm

'When I young, I live on streets.' he explained. 'And i get hired. This place give me food, shelter, hope. But then they get raided, by Artisan Strayer. And I go back on streets again, with nothing.' he bit the inside of his cheek.

Subject: Phoenix Sun Nov 11, 2012 5:36 pm

"I'm sorry... He was just doing his job." Although, he could've offered Axel help.

Subject: Axel Sun Nov 11, 2012 5:39 pm

'I, along with Joacham, we suffer. We struggle to get food, shelter, money. I wonder how we survive sometimes.'

Subject: Phoenix Sun Nov 11, 2012 5:41 pm

"It's not a problem now, though, surely? Hogwarts provides food and shelter. Oh, God, I sound like I'm trying to sell the place..."

Subject: Axel Sun Nov 11, 2012 5:43 pm

'It no problem now, but we still suffer. I want to get compensation for that.' his face became shadowed with certainty, bitterness even.

Subject: Phoenix Sun Nov 11, 2012 5:45 pm

"I understand... Goodness knows I do. But... don't be too hard on Artisan."

Subject: Axel Sun Nov 11, 2012 5:48 pm

'I will get revenge!' he shouted, anger flooding through the boy before he finally calmed down.

Subject: Phoenix Sun Nov 11, 2012 5:50 pm

He's after your brother, Phoenix, a part of my mind whispers. I thought I'd managed to bury that part, the bit that encouraged me to go after Mortem in the first place, but apparently not. Crouch's lessons must've freed it. Your brother. You can't let that slide.

"I did once. The good feeling lasted approximately two seconds."

Subject: Axel Sun Nov 11, 2012 5:53 pm

'It would be worth it, after the years of struggle, i have nothing left to care for.' he found himself faltering. 'Don' you see? there is nothing else!'

Subject: Phoenix Sun Nov 11, 2012 5:57 pm

"I have seen. I've felt exactly that. I thought my twin died, so in retaliation, I killed the man that supposedly murdered her. But she's alive, so I killed an innocent man."

Well, he probably wasn't very innocent, but that's not the point.

Subject: Axel Sun Nov 11, 2012 5:59 pm

'There's nothing to lose!' he yelled at her again. 'I not have family, or friends, or anything of value, what stop me from getting this?' Axel's expression had grown more bitter by the second, he'd need to let this rage out, soon...

Subject: Phoenix Sun Nov 11, 2012 6:02 pm

Ok, that stings. No friends? Well, thanks.

"Chimmy and me are your friends, but if you try to hurt my brother, I won't hesitate to side with him. I want to be your friend, I do, but family comes first."

Subject: Axel Sun Nov 11, 2012 6:05 pm

'I...can't let this go Phoenix, there still nothing for me, i need this.' Axel practically growled, pacing over to a tree and striking it swiftly with his hand.

Crack! the thick branch seemed to creak, before keeling over and splitting cleanly into two.

Subject: Phoenix Sun Nov 11, 2012 6:06 pm

I cross my arms and narrow my eyes, looking a bit like a tantrum-throwing child. "Lord knows Artisan can do with being treated as a normal person - his ego is far too big, even if it is funny - so go ahead and yell at him or whatever. But hurting him is over the line for me."

Subject: Axel Sun Nov 11, 2012 6:09 pm

'I don't care!' his anger hadn't spiked yet, and he struck more branches, stripping the tree of half of its contents in seconds.

Subject: Phoenix Sun Nov 11, 2012 6:13 pm

Family first, the voice hisses. Eliminate the danger. Surely, after murdering so many innocent people, killing a boy who DOES intend to hurt someone you love will be easy?

"Caring will help more than revenge. It sounds stupid, but it's true."

Subject: Axel Sun Nov 11, 2012 6:17 pm

i wouldn't do that if i were PHoenix...

'What I have to care about?' he had grown tired once more, turning back to her with soft yet bottomless black eyes, similar to the colour of coal.

Subject: Phoenix Sun Nov 11, 2012 6:19 pm

OOC: Yeah, she kinda broke a bit in the last of Crouch's lessons :/

IC: "Friends," I say simply. "Starting over."

Subject: Axel Sun Nov 11, 2012 6:21 pm

'Joacham fine without me, i not see him in so long, and he still alive.' he concluded, he couldn't consider Phoenix a friend if he was going to go after Artisan.

Subject: Phoenix Sun Nov 11, 2012 6:22 pm

"But you can still start over! Forget about what happened and just... restart."
