Welcome to Gaia! ::

Azurite shrugged. "Group wise? I haven't done much aside from White Phoenix. I've been a little afraid to do more then the usual patrols and energy draining. I've made a few friends civilian wise though..." She shrugged, unsure what Persephone wanted her to say.

Azurite jumped in surprise at Persephone's sudden outburst and she blinked at the small eternal before blushing. "Oh uh... You know... I've just made some guy friends..." She snorted lightly. "I wouldn't say I'm good at it.. I just... do what I want? I guess? I don't know." Azurite shrugged. "One's a civilian, as far as I'm aware.. He's..." She sighed, trying to find the right words. "I don't know, sweet, generous and nice don't seem to do justice. But he's a blast to hang around with... The other..." She bit her lip for a minute, wondering how well Persephone knew Buddingtonite. "He's just as amazing. They are both so different from each other, yet they are similar in odd ways. I don't know how to explain it."

"I wouldn't say popular... I only got to know one of them because of what happened with the Dark Mirror Court.." Azurite still wasn't sure why Buddy spoke up for her. But that was over and done with. Nothing she could do about it now. "You... might know him actually.." She mused quietly, wondering if she should even mention him to the other corrupt. "...How well do you know Buddingtonite?"

Azurite fixed Persephone with a curious glance. "...I wasn't part of that. After the... event, I wasn't super keen on joining any big group activities so to speak."

"...Tell you about him?" Oh god... where did she start. "After the White Phoenix thing, me and the others who were involved and a rather... lovely conversation with the General King. Zinkenite expressed his disappointment in me. It's not that I can blame him. He was the one who awoke me. So of course he had high hopes." Azurite smiled lightly. "Buddy spoke up for me, stood up for me. And the whole time, he just kept digging his grave until he was laying in it.. And I like the fool I was, was getting him in even more trouble for simply helping him sit up." Azurite reached up, gently rubbing the tattoo on her chest. "I don't know how to explain it Persephone... He's just different."

She rubbed her wrist lightly, before showing it to Persephone. "We were given punishments to choose from. Collect 3 Starseeds that Zinkenite assigned us. Eat the starseed of a loved one... and well.. That. I chickened out of the burn originally.. Later though, I was beginning to really regret what I'd done." Even if she hadn't caused any physical harm to someone. "So I went back later and asked for it. Buddy was kind of mad at me for it.. But he understood my reasons."

The white haired senshi laced her hands behind her back lightly. "I thought I was doing the right thing. I didn't realize he was after something like that when I signed up..." A sigh escaped her quietly. "I don't think Leto will or would ever forgive me." Not that she'd ever be crossing paths with the Dark Mirror Princess any time soon.

Aaaaand busted. "Shut up!" Azurite whined, hands shooting up to cover her reddening face. Not to self, she was never saying anything ever again... "...He is... They both are." The white haired senshi sighed, her hands sliding down her face, and around her neck. "I don't know if I could ever face her. I have no right to even ask her to humor me to talk. If I were her though... I don't know if I ever would forgive what I did. What any of us did. I mean... Would you? You've been in a similar situation. Would you forgive Mica? Or any of us who attacked you back then?" Just because they were on the same side now, didn't mean Persephone forgave her for something that happened back then.

"You see then. Leto could be like you. You knew people who attacked you." From what she had heard, Persephone and Natron knew each other. "Leto may forgive anyone she chooses. But that doesn't mean she has to forgive me. She doesn't know me. It's not like she's losing anything by choosing to hate me. Hell, what does she gain by choosing to forgive me? Nothing." Azurite sighed. "Besides... It's not like I could ever work up the nerve to face her."

Azurite shook her head. "Mica did that.. You know my magic. Know it first hand. I gave you an ultimatum back then. It was you, or that little boy. And he didn't look any older then that girl. ...I didn't use my magic during the attack against the Dark Mirror.. With everyone scattered around like that, it would have caused more harm then good."

"But you knew me. Knew what I could do. You met me once before that." Again the corrupt sighed. "I just told you I didn't... It's too wide of a field. I could have caught anyone in it. I don't think Athene believed me when I told him though." Azurite wasn't so sure still. "Attacking or not I was still there. Still involved.

"I'm... not sure lied to is right. Wolfy was caught in an unfortunate situation with what happened to him. And that's not his fault.. So I can understand his want to get some pay back.. But where I think where he messed up was going behind everyone like he did." Maybe it was blind faith. Maybe it was stupidity.

"I'm just tired of thinking about it. It's in the past and I need to get over it. It's time to stop bitching and whining about things I can't change."

Azurite shook her head. "Damocles was all Lellouch's doing... Wolframite needed a way to get the others there. He had barely considered options before Lellouch spoke up... As far as his friend.. That was someone else. An order senshi, who seemed to know just as much about them as Lellouch did. I don't condone why she did it, nor can I begin to even comprehend why she'd do something like that."

Azurite blinked, as Persephone bounced ahead of her and then spun around. The corrupt stopped in her tracks for a moment, looking at Persephone before her vision shifted to the city behind her, to the city all around them. "I guess you're right... This route's not gonna finish itself if we're standing here all night." She laughed.
