(( Sil: I'll do my best~! *Salutes*
Welcome back Star! How are you today? ))
Kiah took in her explanation with a downhearted expression, picking up a vial and examining it carefully. The fate of an Exorcist was indeed a sad one, but it was one she herself wanted so desperately that she couldn’t help but wonder why she wasn’t chosen. She’d spend hours just reflecting on it, wondering if something was wrong with her, or if she just wasn’t good enough to be one. When she hinted that she could be attacked at any time just for being close to Cross, Kiah turned her sights in the opposite direction and paled, knowing exactly what it meant to have people- "or pets," a voice whispered in her head- being hurt or killed because of grudges. “I think it is possible... but even if it isn’t, at least you can do more for the people of this world than anyone else could...,” she pointed out, speaking softly.
She shook her head with a pout on her face, trying to dislodge Sil’s sudden hold on her cheek. “I think I’d know it if I met him already,” she gave her a small, exasperated smile at her childish antics before frowning again. “... I think it’s a little late for that... and what if I don’t really want that kind of life...?”

((Star: I hateeeeee when that happens orz There's so many times where I get stuck on something stupid as hell and can't go any further. ))
A soft sigh hissed from her lungs at Kiah’s statement. It was the same thing she had thought when she had become an Exorcist some years ago now—back then she was young and she wanted to protect the world instead of being huddled in the labs doing the behind-the-scenes work. Back then she had no interest in having a normal life and she had been the proverbial young and naïve girl who wanted to change the world. “Sacrifice of the some for the good of the many,” she stated, her lips twisted in a bitter smile. “It’s… difficult. When I looked in from the outside it seemed like it was the best thing, to be able to fight against the monsters that terrorized the organization, get out of the lab,” she eased herself fully to the floor then, abandoning the potions they had been sorting through. “Then, I guess I realized all the things I could no longer do that I took for granted when I could do them.”
She started to sort again, eyeing a potion with a suspicious image of a rabbit printed on the label, wanting to look like she felt less deeply about this conversation than she actually did. The topic was one that Sil had been wrestling with for months, debatably years once she had realized what she had really gotten herself into. However, before she could stop herself the words started spilling out of her mouth, things that had been eating at her for so very long. “It’s not really possible for me to do much of anything I had wanted to do before becoming an Exorcist, and I guess lamenting that feels selfish. I wanted to dance, I wanted to get married, have children someday… and even if I did get married it wouldn’t be right. My lifespan is already cut in half because of this,” she lifted one of her wrists, the glowing green stigmata pulsing in the darkened room. “If an Akuma or a Noah didn’t get me first, I’d make a widower in twenty years or less, and what kind of mother would I be if I had children when I knew I might die before they’re old enough to care for themselves?”
Her voice cracked a little at the end and she shook her head feeling shamed by her own words. “I’m sorry, I know it’s utterly selfish to lament over a life I probably wouldn’t have had to begin with. I really am glad that my life amounted to something… That I could do good in the world, and that is more important than mundane things like marriage and children.” But... something in her wanted normalcy, wanted to know what it would be like to be a civilian ignorant of the dark world they lived in.

((Kiah: The worst part is I want to have this fic done in time to post it for Kanda's Birthday...
Sil: Yeah, it's pretty annoying. I'm usually good at writing fights between the two but those are usually more like their 'shaving' things. This one is more... well, this is one of Kanda's lines that I got stumped on; “Tch what ‘comrades’? I don’t have any ‘comrades’ and if I did there certainly wouldn’t be any here. All I see here is a weak, annoying, half-dead Moyashi who doesn’t seem to have the brainpower to realize when he’s not wanted.”
I think you can see why I was having trouble thinking of what Allen would say in reply...))

(( Star: Better hurry up, then, missy! ))
Kiah kept her eyes resolutely glued to the floor, remembering that Sil had been in the exact same position that she was in now. She understood why some people would regret wanting Innocence once they had it, and if she could she would gladly take it off of Sil’s hands, if only so she could choose the life that she really wanted. “... But what if it’s the only thing you’ve ever wanted... so badly that it hurts...? Is that really how you felt, the entire time that you were in the lab?”
She sighed and walked over to the couch, hopping around the potions when necessary and grabbing the ones on the furniture, determined to find a better spot for them. A few items from home were stored in the cushions, and she’d been meaning to clear everything off sooner of later. Kiah caught a glimpse of her shining Innocence and frowned, finding a spot on the floor to discard her vials. “I don’t think it’s selfish... I think it would be better if you could choose Innocence, instead of being forced into that life,” she finally looked at Sil with serious, yet soft expression. “But what’s stopping you from getting married and having kids besides that you might die a few years sooner than anyone else? The reality is, any one of us- not just here, but in the entire world- could die tomorrow. Be it sickness, murder, or some type of accident, there’s not much of a difference here than anywhere else. There are people who get married to someone that could die in a carriage accident the next day. And you know if something happened and you had kids, there are so many people here willing to help them out... If you really want that kind of life... here... then you shouldn’t let that stop you. At least... that’s what I think...” She looked down at her hands and watched them fidget for a second before whispering, “And I’m sure everyone would love to see you dance.”
