Trying to live up to his standards...I nearly laughed at such childish beliefs. "Soft-hearted," I said darkly. "Such thinking will certainly get you killed someday."
Tamex shrugged. "Those are my standards. I'd rather die following them than live against them."
I narrowed my eyes. I couldn't stand people like him, who didn't understand the ruthlessness of the world, that there were people out there who would take advantage of his courtesy and kill him in an instant if given the chance. "You simple-minded boy. Your thinking is so idealistic, it's a wonder if you've even managed to kill. If our goal is truly to take down Organization Zero, you wouldn't be talking about evacuation in the first place. Hell, we wouldn't even be bombing the place; we'd be infiltrating it ourselves and seeing to each members' death personally! You're severely underestimating our opponents, Tamex, and it could be the death of you!"
Tamex was silent after my tirade, and glanced to the floor. "Lady Rexikat," he said quietly, "perhaps...perhaps you think too much like a tigress, and not enough as a person."
I blinked for a moment, and then angrily replied, "I think like someone who wants to survive, like someone who doesn't want to be killed due to a preventable mistake. You think that Organization Zero wouldn't hesitate to take our lives?" I stomped over to the door. "Think again."
I opened the door, ready to leave, when I remembered something. "Ximh, I need to go before I do something I regret. Let me know when we're ready to leave."
He nodded, and I left the room. I couldn't believe that Tamex would think like that. Somehow, it seemed like he had only suggested that bomb plan to give Zero a chance at survival. If we really wanted them dead, then...
I smashed my fist into a wall, leaving a chain shaped mark, and growled. I could feel my element creeping up on me, begging for a hunt, but I pushed it down, knowing there was no one here decent for me to fight. Instead, I slumped down the wall with my head in my hands. It seemed like nobody understood my way of thinking.
...Maybe this time with Pashnirix would be good for me after all.
