"That is a great honor, I am aware of the high standards that he holds everyone to." she said with a small smile, nodding her head to him respectfully. "Are you searching for him?"

"An honor? Hah....if Yawgmoth...were respectable..perhaps..but..you and I know..that the case..is very different." Titus spoke again narrowing his large yellow eyes onto her tiny form. "You..bear..his symbol. It..calls to me. I see...you have..more than..met Yawgmoth." The ground shook rather violently as Titus' arms relaxed and his huge form plopped onto the ground to rest. From the way the ground shook he must weigh at least 500 tons or better. "Tell me...tiny creature...why has Yawgmoth..marked you so?"

Ziven smiled broadly at his first comment. At the moment, she was enjoying the conversation, but she refused to allow herself to trust him fully. Hearing Titus ask about the mark, her smile faded considerablly and she paused before replying. The vibrations from his movements caused the tree to sway, to wich Ziven transported herself back to the safety of the ground to make sure she did not damage the tree. "The most succinct answer would be that he considers me "an innocent" by his definitions."

"In...other..words..you are..naive..to the ways of...mating. That..makes..sense. Yawgmoth is quite...determined..to corrupt and perverse..those kinds of beings..be weary." Titus warned the expression on his metallic face turning serious, his eyes told the story that he did not approve of Yawgmoth's methods in this matter at all.

The frustration that everyone seemed to know this right off the bat was overwhelming at this point. Never in her life had she ever felt so exposed and violated on such a regular basis. With a deep sigh, she dropped her head and covered her face with her hands, trying to maintain composure. It was also unfortunate that his advice came a little too late, she had already learned that he would try to force his way with her if she would not comply.

"Lift..your head up!" the creature bellowed. "Bowing it..is a sign of respect...do not..use it..as a sign..of giving up..in my presence.." The dreadnought finished with a leering stare. "The..key...to overcoming Yawgmoth...is" Titus was cut off by an all too familiar voice "Is that you my dear Titus talk far too much.....Let her figure out things for herself. She's a smart girl. She does not need your help..." The voice had come from behind Ziven, and if she looked there he stood with his arms over his chest staring at Titus. "I..do..not agree..with your methods..Yawgmoth..but..I know..I cannot stop you..but I hope..you realize..that if I could...I would.." The dreadnought responded back. "Yes, yes we are well aware that you have morale and we do not Master Titus. How you gained such a thing is beyond our scope of understanding. Perhaps you a mathematical error in the phyrexian creation equation. Who knows. And you know, that if you were not such a beautiful work of precision and such a devastating force of power, that we would dismantle you for such talk..." Yawgmoth seemed angry but didn't seem to do anything about it. The dreadnought's expression held that look like he were smirking at Yawgmoth's words. Tauntingly at that.

The sound of Titus shouting frightened her tremendously. She dropped her hands to her side and lifted her head obediantly, not daring to intentionally upset Titus. Despite knowing it would not do her any good, she took a few steps to her side and pressed her back up against a tree. Just as she did this, she heard Yawgmoth's voice. She now felt trapped, with Yawgmoth to her right, Titus to her left, pressed against a tree. Though her instinct was to drop her head again, instead she made sure her head was pressed against the tree also. The last thing she would have wanted would be a fight to begin with her literally stuck in the middle of it. Too terrified to speak, she remained where she was, cursing the fact that Titus seemed to have been on the verge of telling her an important detail about Yawgmoth.

"We could forbid you, my dear titus, to speak with this woman again. However we know, that as much as you cannot harm us, we cannot order you. We have tried. Fine. If you are to play in our game Master Titus. Then we will leave. Tell the girl whatever you like. That will only make victory more sweet" Yawgmoth chuckled as he turned around and exploded into a puddle of black that scattered away. Titus sighed the hot breathe of the dreadnought easily reaching Ziven and rustling the leaves on the tree she pressed herself against. "So..persistent....As I..was saying..tiny creature." the dreadnought shifted his head to lock onto her. "The key..to overcoming..Yawgmoth is..simple. Be as..persistent as he. As long..as you..are able to keep..this defense up..he will grow bored..and find something..new to toy with. It always happens. Deep..down past..the black..and evil..of his heart. Yawgmoth is like...a child. He must..tinker with things. play..with them..test them. The true scientific method..most children already..know. But..grow out of. Just..look at me...he created me..out of boredom..the true flaw..in Yawgmoth..is that he must..keep his complex..mind occupied with some task..or he will drive..himself to insanity." The dreadnought then chuckled lightly and sighed again "Though..you..probably agree..he is..already far..from sane. But..you get..the point. The longer..he drags out..on you. The more..his mind will start..to wonder. When it does...he will, out of..compulsion,..have to seek a new..task. To keep..his interest."

Yawgmoth's final statements worried her greatly. Though he made it sound like he had given his permission to tell her more, she felt that it was more of a warning that it would do her more harm than good if Titus spoke of Yawgmoth to her. The sound of Yawgmoth exploding as he often does startled her all over again, causing her to feel weak in the knees. As Titus exhaled and started talking again, she slowly slid down the tree, crumpled rather uncomfortably on the ground. She appreciated the advice given to her. Despite the fact that she had already come to that conclusion on their first or second meeting, she felt slightly encouraged that there may be hope of escaping his sights on her own terms.
At this point, so many thoughts were rolling through her head, she could hardly see straight. It was as if the world were spinning faster than normal. She hugged her knees, trying to hide the fact that she was trembling intermittently. Reviewing what had transpired in the evening since she had met Titus, she found herself feeling dizzy with confusion now. There were too many details to ponder. Why call her woman one moment but girl the next? Why wouldn't he want Titus to talk about him with her? How could she ever manage to escape the interest of someone who was timeless? If something else did not cross his path of interest, he could very well ponder her with curiosity for the rest of her life. She gently rested her head on her knees, trying to calm her mind before trying to speak again.

Titus scoffed kicking up dirt from his powerful breath ruffling over the ground. "Do..you..always..slink away..so easily..from your..problems..tiny creature?" The dreadnought rose up showing the imprint in the ground from where he flopped down. A flash of movement whirled over her head but seemed to disappear. Suddenly the tree she leaned against made a groaning sound before the top half it creeked and feel backwards crashing to the ground. If Ziven looked she would be able to see it hadn't been pushed over but rather, cut. The top half of the tree sliced to perfection with a swift clean cut. "Next time...that will be..your head...if you do not...get up." The dreadnought said sternly. "You..fleshy...creatures intrigue me so. How..easily..you will quit..when it gets..rough for you..how easily..you will..slump against a tree..ready to cry." Titus finished moving his bulk forward, closer to her. "I..do not..mean..to frighten..or scare..or even harm you..tiny creature..but I will not...let you...weaken..in front of me..to a shaking..fearful shell. Do you..understand?" As he spoke his huge yellow eyes narrowed again. Titus had already taken his interest in her, simply because Yawgmoth did. And he did not wish for the harm Yawgmoth was planning to befall such a tiny innocent creature. But he certainly would not let her play pity party over it before him.

She didn't care what Titus was doing, what the sound was rushing above her head was or what the crashing sound around her was. Truth was, she could not recognize what was happening in the moment, she was too busy catching up on her thoughts. Several minutes passed, the harder she tried to find answers, the more thoughts would come to mind.
Her thoughts drifted to what Titus had said, finally recognizing that she had been spoken to, but still had not lifted her head to view the destruction around her. She tried to calm her mind enough to stand and speak but the effort was futile since she found herself filling with even more questions, even more thoughts on everything that had transpired today and more. She went with her only other option, to speak with her mind.
Gingerly she opened her thoughts to Titus, not wanting to flood her thoughts in to his. Before any words could be heard, her emotions could be felt. A deep wave of loneliness, of desire to belong was felt first, the most subconscious feeling in her mind was quickly followed by a stronger feeling of confusion and a thirst to understand. "I only wish to understand. her words sounded disconnected, but she pressed on. "My own thoughts are overwhelming. If ending my existence is truly your desire, then so be it. I only need some time think."
With that, she closed her mind to him again, only to find herself still flooded with thoughts, still thirsting for understanding. Though she knew it was all in her head, she could have sworn she felt heavier, weighted down by the volume of thoughts and questions flowing through her.

The breathing mountain of metal let another deep sigh out closing his huge yellow eyes slowly and opening them wide again. "Would you rather...I gave...you the easy...way out. And beheaded...you right..now...or would you rather stand up...for yourself...and live to find..and feel..the things you want? My means...are to help. But...I will not...do it all..for you..tiny creature." Titus decided he had shown enough and flopped on the ground again laying down his weight shaking the ground slightly when it hit. "The first...step...is getting.. up from..that...tree." The massive titan said "Only then...will I..offer..more aid..walk..through the first...steps...alone. Prove..to me...you are worth..my time..to aid. Your mind..is strong...your will..is weak."

"Have you ever had so many thoughts rolling through your head that you felt ill?" she asked quietly, lifting her head slowly. "I will move forward. I just need to catch up with my own thoughts or I will lose my mind. I neither desire nor deserve the 'easy way' for anything. So as not to sound completely ungrateful, I do always appreciate help and advice from anyone who is willing but I certainly do not expect it from anyone either. My apologies for being a nuisance, your patience seems endless."
