Welcome to Gaia! ::

Joker pressed his ear to the door and opened it, stepping in cautiously. "Please don't throw anything at my head. I need it to be able to talk to you." He said, moving to close the door and paled at the sight of Kalore, rushing over to him with a doctor's professionalism and seriousness.

Touching his forehead, he checked Kalore's eyes, ears and felt his forehead with surprising gentleness. "Kalore? Are you you truly broken?" He asked softly.

Joker frowned even more and sat next to Kalore, placing a comforting hand on his head. "Kalore? You have to stop doing this to yourself. Stop it before you do yourself some damage. I'm not saying this is your fault. Both of you are at fault, yet don't do this. Don't withdraw from us or from yourself. Please don't quit our group." He said, trying not to be emotional because he really did like Kalore. "Please? What do you need right now?"

Joker blinked and wanted to say something funny but nothing came to him. Instead, he sat where he was and patted at the spot next to him. "Come here and let's talk. You might not want to but it's the only thing that could help solve things."

"Well, I'm not exactly a group but one person. I won't ask nicely, now please sit down with me and we will talk. Or I can listen, or be your punching bag as promised. I won't leave and you know this." He stated bluntly and crossed his arms over his chest, looking scary except for the slippers.

Joker sat there unfazed by Kalore snapping at him. "I think you should punch me. I'm better to punch because it will take your Goddess all the strength to punch Monty. I would know, I've tried." He said and watched Kalore closely. "Do you want to know why Monty snapped?"

"Give me the strongest drink you have Kalore, your going to get seriously frustrated with me for the things I'm going to say. I only ask that you not beat yourself up over those things...Okay?" He said, running a hand through his messy hair.

Joker sighed and drowned the drink in one shot and twitched a few times to get used to it. "Damn. That one hit the spot."

Blinking, the insane man looked at Kalore straight in his eyes. "You hurt him. In his mind, he thought you a friend and comrade. He doesn't say anything but it's in his actions. You leaving him here to fight your battle with Kyin was a big no no. At least he could have been there for you as moral support. You are in a team and most likely if you confronted him he would express this as well but it could always be taken out of context."

Sighing he looked at the glass. "Yet, it was very wrong of him to react the way he did when you were clearly not in the best of moods as well. Again, this might sound slightly selfish but he felt as if he was useless and now if I know him, he will justify this as something that shouldn't happen because it distracted him from his duty. He has pride Kalore. Honor and arrogance but it's his pride for this job that made him angry."

Joker looked up at Kalore with a serious expression. "Yet he crossed the line with you. It was wrong for him to yell at you. I don't know all the details and I'm afraid if I know it, I'll end up killing the poor fool before someone else does. However, don't give up on the group or on yourself just because of this new round of fighting. Would you willingly give up your well being to be far away from Monty? Would you really want to put up with Eri for eight years versus small encounters with Monty?" He asked.
