"You will find that most challenging if not impossible with this subject." she said softly, crossing her arms over her middle. She continued looking at the ground, rather than looking at either male. She chimed in after Reeve had spoken; "We are just walking.

Yawgmoth looked up at Reeve and then back down Ziven and said aloud for all to hear "My poor pet you fail to understand. There is always plan C. The crime of Rape is still an option if last resort at best." he gave a small shrug of his shoulders. However mad she got didn't matter it would only play to Yawgmoth's game of pushing her buttons. He seemed to like doing that with people. "Quite right my blind friend. Perhaps we will tag along but remain in the background as we have been doing thus far anyhow. Until now."

Reeve put one hand upon Ziven's waist, the other went and covered her mouth. Into her mind he spoke. 'Don't play his game. He's just like others I have met, all he is going is playing a mental game with you.' With another tilt of his head he asked, somewhat suddenly. "Mr.Yawgmoth, have you ever known what it is like to be truely blind? Not just surrounded by darkness, but unable to make it leave you?"

"We cannot say we have my blind friend. By the way. We have known you by only that moniker. What is your name friend? You know ours. We either have forgotten yours, or have not asked properly yet." Yawgmoth inquired. This man to him was only 'that blind guy' so he recalled.

"People call me Reeve, Mr. Yawgmoth." He closed his eyes and smiled. "Being blind becomes most unpleasent after awhile. People look down to you, or fear you for some reason. I am sure you can understand that second one."

With a sharp sigh, she completely lost her temper at the very mention of that word. Her arms tightened around her middle, her hands balled in to fists. Though there was no wind, her clothes rippled softly around her. She started at the feeling of Reeve touching her waist and her head snapped up and looked at him fiercely. "You say that as if I have some sort or CHOICE in the matter." she shot back bitterly.

"Yes, however, fear of us is given and wanted by us as well. We command the respect and fear of our enemies and even our allies to degrees. It is life as a warlord and how we have always known things to be. The fear that comes from you, even to a being like us who has learned to revere the blind that see, is not the same as what comes from us." Yawgmoth said crossing his huge arms over his great broad chest. "We have been through many trials, and perhaps out of spite at our last great trial are we so cruel. Let us ask you now Reeve. If you have ever laid down after being struck with such a weapon that you are unable to move, unable to sleep, unable to eat and drink. That every thought of every day turns to suicide and how you wish the weapon would have just killed you off instead of leaving you in the state it did. Writhing in agony every waking moment from the damage done. In exchange for what we have experienced in our long long lifetime. We would gladly trade that to someone else to lose our sight instead.."

Reeve smiled a bit and spoke into Ziven's mind once again. 'Simply put, change the rules. Don't give him what he want, nor give him the satisfaction of knowing how much it bothers you. At the moment you are like a plaything, one which interests him. Your reaction is the very thing that keeps him going.' He opened his eyes a bit and looked directly at Yawgmoth's. "After having my eyes gouged out with a weapon that would not allow them to be healed by any means. After being left in a large flame, unable so see or hear anything and just barely making it out with my life. And after being found by the villiage which treated me as a monster and tortured me relentlessly... I might know what you went through." Reeve's smile widened a bit. "I also know what I traded to be stronger than a normal being... and I know what it is like to feel the joys of feeling a person die in our hands. The difference between you and I is this: You feed off the pain of others, simply because you can't handle your own pain." His smile faded a bit, but still remained. "And I know something pains you deeply... perhaps you lost something. Perhaps something managed to escape from you. I don't know, but I do have a hunch that this is the reason why you feel the need to talk down to others."

Yawgmoth's angry face snapped over to Reeve "You have no idea what agony is....the scenario as you have probably guessed happened to us. Not one day. Not even months, weeks. Years. Decades. Centuries. Total time as we guessed amounted to somewhere between one millenia, five centuries and two to three years of laying there, in a wasteland of what used to be our glorious planet. As every second of that length of time we spent in pain. We paid dearly for every person we had every hurt before and in those moments we had at least a hundred life times to reflect. And what did it do? Broke us. Into two pieces. A mind that shattered not as we speak for two now but two seperate thought patterns. One good. One evil. We split bodies a long long time ago, before Angel and Zero ever founded this place. We have no idea we our said "good half" resides but we, we are the evil. We are the majority of the original self. We can handle our own pain just fine. But we, unlike you, have figured out our purpose long long ago. Before that time of agony even came. We were created by fate, to be a scourge upon the realm of man. We are destined to cause chaos, to cause pain and suffering as we see fit. It is as natural to us as it is for a lion to stalk down a zebra and eat it. It is our purpose and we quite enjoy filling it..." Yawgmoth finished with a firm sound in his voice. He had revealed quite a bit about himself something he usually never did unless it was fabricated bullshit to impress or to intimidate.

"Really now, there is no reason to get so angry." Reeve's full smile returned. "I don't believe in fate, Mr.Yawgmoth. It is one thing to say that that is what you want, but it is entirely another to say that fate brought you to this conclusion." At this point he was trying to see how far he could push the normally cocky Yawgmoth. "And it is one thing to stalk your pray, it is another to bombard every animal you see, letting your pray know that you are there. When this happens, it allows too much time for your pray to slip your grasp."

Despite being on friendly terms with Reeve, his words only upset her more. Taking a step away from him, she stared at the ground, fuming in silence, working to regain control over her emotions. As both males went on, exchanging stores of their past, her temper quickly melted away. Instead of finding peace, she found herself feeling humbled. The two males had been through so much, her experiences seemed so insignificant in comparison. Relaxing somewhat, her posture seemed to shrink. Thirsty to hear more, she positioned her feet in a comfortable position and allowed both males to speak without interruption.

Reeve soon got tired of the game. He had planted seeds, that was all that was neccessary. "Now Mr.Yawgmoth, I think I will continue my walk... It has been a nice chat." He bowed his head a bit and turned once again as he started to walk. "Ziven, you may come too if you wish. Or you can stay here with Mr.Yawgmoth. Whatever you want to do."

It was impressive how much confidence and ability to adapt Reeve displayed. Shifting her weight from one foot to the other, she considered the options presented to her by Reeve. Speaking softly, barely above a whisper she replied. "I would like to continue our walk."

He stopped and turned his head to her. He closed his eyes, his hair covering most of the scars now. "Then come on." His smile was on his face, lightening the mood a bit.

Blue eyes darted to view his face, which was mostly hidden behind his hair. With a small nod, she moved forward, to his side, ready to continue on their walk. She moved her hands to her back, cupping her right hand in her left under her cloak. She did not have much to say, she had been reminded how she knew nothing about either of them but she did not feel it would be appropriate to question further just yet not only because it did no seem appropriate but because she did not feel she had the strength to speak about such things.
