She nodded, looking relieved that Fox had left. She watched Vice for a moment before speaking. "Why .. are you here to say I may ask you questions in return for asking questions of me?" she asked carefully, trying to keep it one question, though specific enough that he would know what she was looking for.

'Wonderful kid.' Vice said into Ziven's mind, obvious sarcasm in his voice. 'I do this because I want answers, as do you. It is simple.' This time his thoughts were cold, a feeling of dislike flowing with them. He finally opened his red eye, which seemed to boil over with both anger and hostility. 'What are your feelings towards that boy?'

She nodded her head in reply to his words, pleased in a way that he would want to speak with her. "Fox? He is a good friend, one of the first friends I made here. So young, with no family .. just as I was when I was his age. I can relate to him. I wish to provide a feeling of family for him." she replied with another nod.
She was confused by this question, which lead her to her next; "Why do you wish to know this? You seem so interested in my affairs with others, no matter how innocent .."
(Ooc: ok ^^; )

'Do not take us as a fool, Ziven.' He replied, annoyance coming through into her mind. 'Innocent? Please. You know his feeling for you from the day he kissed you. He likes you deeply, and despite your knowledge of that you continue to do... things with him. Today you went so far as to show him that you share the same feelings for him as he does for you.' By the time he finished his thought to her he sounded very beast-like. His red eye changed to an draconic appearance as time went on. 'If I were to bring both Reevis and Fox inches away from death, and said that you had to save one or else they both die; which would you chose?'

Her eyes narrowed, not liking his tone one bit as he continued. Again, she shook her head. "Always so angry .. if there is but one thing I have learned is that all have the freedom to be friends with whom they wish. There is much that I have yet to learn, there are nuances of what is acceptable or not that I have yet to know. I care for Fox but not the same that he cares for me. It was not fair of him to decide the meaning of the gift I gave him. It was a gift that I decided he should have since it seemed he liked them. I have love in my heart for Fox. But it is Reeve who has my heart." she replied, hoping he would understand.
After more consideration, she replied, sorrow and confusion felt with her words. "It is an impossible choice .. impulse would choose Reeve, he has brought a happiness to my life I never thought possible." she replied.
Another moment passed before she was able to think of the best way to ask her next question. "For whom will this volley of questions benefit?"

Vice bit his tongue, not wanting to speak against what she said... no matter how untruthful it sounded. Her question was simple and unnecessary. 'You should know by now that I only act on my own accord... Reevis is old enough to make his own stupid decisions. If this was for him, he would be here.' Vice stopped and thought for a moment. Her answers weren't exactly satisfactory, but he did not wish to argue with her on this night. Finally a question came to mind. 'Why did you, the one who has caused... discomfort for my son, break?' Though vague, he figured that she would understand.

She inhaled sharply, as if his words and question were too much for her to bear. An intense sense of confusion, hurt and longing could be felt with her next words. "I know not where Reeve is .. he comes and goes as he pleases - I would not want for him to change on account of me yet I yearn to be with him, to know he is well, to help him if he is not if I may. I gave him a stone he could use to call upon me if he ever had a need, ever wanted me to be with him yet he never has .. tonight, what Fox said .. made me think of this and so much more. My heart aches to be with Reeve .. this is why i have broken." she said.
Her thoughts lingering on this subject only which lead her to her next question, which it took all of her strength not to ask the half dozen questions on her mind. "Knowing how deeply I love Reeve and he says he loves me the same ... I do not understand why my love never actually seems to be enough .. he never calls on me, we speak so little when we are together, I try my best to help him, ensure he is well .. yet it is not enough. I am not enough .. Why?" she asked; a heavy sense of pain, aching, heart break - enough to drown out all other emotions - could be felt now as she spoke.

Vice shook his head slightly and spoke aloud. This did not mean that she could not speak to him, he simply did not want to send emotions to her anymore. "You know very little about my son, don't you? He has lived on his own through his whole life, even when my daughter and I were there. And he has always been quiet. You can't expect him to be completely different around you than he is around everyone else, people don't change that quickly." He sighed slightly and looked at the stars for a moment. "He won't call on you because he does not want to burden you. If he can be with you, he'd rather just go to you. You can't ensure he is well because he is... himself. He likes to do things, many of which are dangerous. That, also, is not your fault. The only reason your love is not enough for Reevis is because you think it is."
Snapping his fingers, a lit cigarette appeared in his mouth. "If you wish to hear it, I will now tell you what has happened to Reevis."

She looked to him with ultimate sorrow. "And that .. I believe .. is why we have been able to connect. He, a weapon. I, a tool. One does not love a weapon, a tool asthey would another person. One may have a deep appreciation or care for its usefulness .. but nothing more. One would shelve it, just like a book, until it is needed once more." she responded to his first comments. She inhaled deeply several times before responding again. "Yes, please. Thank you."

Vice shook his head again at what she said, but did not comment on it. Before speaking he took a long drag from the cigarette, exhaled the smoke, and sighed slightly. "After he saw your little show with Fox, he went to the temple in that other dimension. There he called upon the spirit of his mother, who came to console him. The only problem with that is, in that world, only the bad things come forth. He began to think very dark thoughts... eventually leading him to thoughts of killing himself. The laws of resurrection state that a suicide cannot be brought back... so he would stay dead forever. In order to prevent that, the spirits in the temple banded together to preform what they call 'The Chant of Solitude.' In their culture, when a loved one dies, it is customary for one's emotions to be sealed away. They use that chant to do it..." He paused, unsure if he was clear enough for her. He took another drag from the cigarette before speaking again. "Basically, they wiped out his emotions and altered most of his memories."

She gasped softly to his first explanation. When the magnitude of what was said in his final words, she wailed in agony, turning away from him. She moved to the nearest tree, touching it with the palm of one hand, again, for the second time in God even knows how long, dissolving to tears.

The sounds of fox singing could come from Ziven, the cells of skin that fox left on her wen he gave her a hug viberrated as the sound came from her and there he was almost in a instent. fox stud there facing away from Ziven and with his arms crossed. " I think it is time that you left. " Then he turned back to Ziven and sang the same soft and loving sond that she had sung to him as he waa in heartbreak as well .

"Just to let you know, it was the first time I ever saw him cry... because of you. That means something..." Vice, obviously, was not good at cheering people up. Having always focused on ruining people, he lacked the ability to truly say something helpful. After a moment of silence on his side, an idea popped into his head. "The spell can break, actually. If he manages to fall in love again, then he returns to how he was... And since he already loves you, somewhere, you probably have more of a chance than anyone..."
At the appearance of Fox, whatever compassion that Vice had gained dissolved. "I think it's you who should be leaving, boy. When it boils down to it, your the reason all this s**t happened."
