As the sun began to rise and Belamos finished speaking, Sonyo felt her face flush and was glad that he couldn't see it from his current position. He thought she was beautiful and strong and brave... She wasn't any of those things, but the fact that he thought it was almost enough to make her believe them. Instinctively, her hand squeezed his, the blush that had invaded her cheeks and neck disappearing as she tried to well up whatever bits of courage she had.

"Ask me to come with you, Belamos...." Her words were whispered, and when she looked up at the demigod, her eyes held desperation in them. "Coming with you when you retire... It sounds amazing... but I'm afraid that if it's left to me I'll be too much of a coward to come join you on my own... All the decisions I've made for myself have never worked out well..." She looked to the side, away from him, hoping to avoid seeing any disappointment in his eyes when he found out she was weaker than he thought. "A younger, more brave, version of myself escaped Otogakure by impersonating important UHV personnel. That version of myself died when my shortsided break for freedom resulted in the death of my parents. I, what was seen as bravely but perhaps it was more stupidly, volunteered to seal the Ichibi in myself for the sake of my village and not only did I suffer for years and was never myself again... but my safety was held over others because I was a jinchuriki instead of being on the battlefield where I belonged."

The young woman let out a soft, quiet, chuckle realizing she probably overshared a little but she felt like she had to explain herself to Belamos. She wanted to stay this brave, beautiful, mythical thing in his mind even though she wasn't. Sonyo kept her grip on Belamos' hand like a lifeline through the anxious and doubting torrents of her mind. "I think... you'd be good for me. But the last time I bravely jumped off that "cliff"... I... I broke." The cliff she spoke of was a hypothetical one. Months of hermitry in the forests outside of the land of wind whirled by in her mind, not wanting to live, not wanting to breathe or move or do anything. She had felt like her life was over, and she was just going through the motions.

Belamos kept his eyes fixed on the horizon, a deep, contemplative look upon his face. Even as Sonyo bared her heart before him his visage was a mask of indecision. The first golden lights of day broke upon the land as Sonyo finished her plea, and at this point, Belamos finally turned to face her, a look of such warmth radiating from him that even the most cold-hearted person would be taken aback. He brought a hand to her face and wiped a stray hair away that was masking her eyes. "I cannot" He said to her in a matching whisper.

Releasing her from his grasp he stood up and walked to the edge of the cliff, staring off at the sunset. As he crossed his arms before his body the Shinobi peered out across the land, taking in the last few moments of peace before the day of battle began. After a few moments like so, he spoke again "Do not misunderstand me- I would enjoy your company as I work towards this goal for I, too, believe you would be good for me. But I cannot ask you to leave behind your life, your home, and accompany me down this path. This dream, this goal, I-...I want people to work towards it with me, following me because they believe in it and not because I led them to it." He turned to face her now, his arms at his side and a long of overwhelming longing in his eyes "You are not the mistakes you've made or the pain you've endured. If such was the measure of our worth I would be considered the lowest of the low and unfit to have this peace I deserve. You are who you chose to be, Sonyo. For every slight levied against you, a lesson has been learned and as such you have become all the stronger for it." He crossed the distance between them and knelt in front of Sonyo. He placed his hands on either side of her face and brought her forehead in to touch his- a quite intimate gesture "You are not lesser, nor are you broken. Today, you are who you chose to be. Walk proudly down your own path with your chin held high, Sonyo, and realize your dreams."

He wouldn't ask her to come with him... her heart sunk in her chest and Sonyo watched him with a wide eyed expression, disbelief in her eyes... in till he went on. His words made sense... If only she could be strong enough to live them. He kneeled in front of her and placed his forehead against hers, hands on either side of her face. His warmth against her forehead felt nice, like a sun ray on a chilly day. Sonyo closed her eyes and took in a deep breath, took him in for just a moment longer. "I have no home... but maybe this cowardly wanderer can gather the strength to follow you... please just... have patience with me." Sonyo covered his hands with her own, taking in a deep breath. "Please..."

An explosion split the sound of silence that had fallen over Arashigakure, and even an idiot would be able to figure out what that meant. Sonyo slowly opened her eyes and turned from Belamos to look out over the horizon. People began moving for safety while shinobi began walking in the opposite direction. Towards danger, towards war, towards death. She let out a soft sigh, exhaustion returning to her eyes. "Let's go bring down a Demigod."
