He hesitated, it was not a common gesture for him but after a moment he hugged her, dragging her close into an embrace. He squeezed her tight enough to push the air out of her for a breath.
"Sorry... I didn't mean to..." but he had, he'd meant every word, if Castor took more from him... he'd...
"I hate them... I hate what they made you do, I hate what they did to her, I hate their blind ideas and their... peace and justice and HOPE and all they do is torture and LIE and steal... " He said squeezing again before letting go.
"... I just... need to know your safe... and I know I can't protect you forever, you don't deserve to be treated like a doll, your better than that."

"I don't mind you protecting me, Zac." She too was squeezing him back before stepping out of the embrace, smiling. She might not have known zac for long after the initial corruption, but she already had an idea that he was not fond of touch. So that hug alone said more than words ever could have. It was a sign of trust and love that he let his guard down, and it was what brought the smile to her face.
That anger that was once there went back in to its dormant state. "As long as you know that in turn, i will protect you as well. I honestly do not mind it. The way i see it... we are outnumbered in this war. So we need to watch each others backs, or the senshi will be there to stab them."
Shuffling a little, she looked away once again. Should she tell him? her ears were ringing again with Evers words... she should tell him. She sighed deeply. "There is more. It involves how i met Ares. I was...well. Ordered to go hunting for her....alone. The other night." She waited for that to sink in. Shuffling a little, she covered part of her left arm with her right palm, attempting to hide a bruise.

His eyes flashed, a moments vexation smothered by suspicion. "I see..." He said carefully, "and... how did it go?" He asked carefully, though his gaze was already resting over where her hand lay as though he could see through to the blemish beneath.

"....Uhm." That was clearly the only word she thought was needed, and if he looked closely he would have probably seen the word 'guilt' written all over her face.
"....Im still alive? And i um... managed to scratch her?" She was still avoiding the pipe, avoiding the question of 'why didn't you tell me sooner' that was not yet spoken.

He waited for a long moment as though he hoped she might answer that question herself. "SO um... thank you for telling me..." He said instead. He was trying to be good...trying to be...understanding and let her have her space...he really was.
"...did Ever know?" He did ask though, that one she had to have seen coming.

She thought she was stronger than this... strong enough to tell him. This was why she didnt want to. Even though it might not have been what he meant, she was reading disappointment in his expression. And betrayal. "I was ordered to go alone... im sorry." Her eyes where on his feet, notdaring to look at him. "I didn't tell anyone before i left...only Tanzanite knew i was going. I knew if i told you or Ever... you would follow me."

He didn't say anything for a long moment, hard to say what emotions were mingling and warring behind the sliding direction of his gaze... but in the end he nodded. It was almost a physical effort not to press, he was -trying- to be good... there was just something about her that made him want to place her in some ivory tower though and that was a dangerous thought.
"Then you did well, it... was good of you to do as you were ordered, you are after all and Eternal senshi like her...with the right training, regardless of he...'temperament' ..you'll be a good match for her...I'm proud of you."

"..your just saying that to make me feel better aren't you?" It was a whisper, barely spoken. She had no idea she even said it out loud, she thought she was thinking it. "..Zac, it would take some serious training to kill her, to harm her, to even get close enough to her. While we are the same rank, she... has, i dont know. A lot more experience?" Wrapping her arms around her self she muttered. "She would have killed me had Tanzanite not stepped in."

"What SHE has ... is a boat load of psychosis, one that allows her, in her "I am pure and justice and war" mindest... to torture...kill, slit throats...crush... burry, and otherwise attempt to slaughter other people her own age... in a LINGERING fashion that makes lord of the FLIES look like a civil dispute." He said in a moment of seething bitterness.
Ironic as it might be he on some level justified what he did to castor not just because he was doing it as a promise to Linarite, but because the whole ordeal had taken, overall... very little time. Not weeks of prolonged and calculated suffering.

"Does that mean i need to become the same, if not more, to beat her?" Her eyes grew wide with fear at that idea. Normally to beat something, you needed to best them. Would she have to turn in to something she was not to win?

"Don't be rediculous..." He said scowling. "You don't need to turn into someone blindly arrogant and psychopathic... you just need to be -smarter-. Find her weaknesses and work with them... " he chided and shook his head.
