Yawgmoth's form landed with a resounding thud as the ground sunk in from the impact of his hulking form crashing near the lake with Ziven in arm. His arm lowered and acted as a path for her to step down onto the ground if she wanted to. He still looked vaguely angry at well, everything but seemed to have a much more calm demeanor around her.

She slid down his arm, as it seemed he wanted her to, but she did not let go, did not run from him. Cuddling in to his hand, once she got there, she looked up to him with a calm, sad expression. "Thank you." she said softly, closing her eyes and nuzzling against his hand.

The large titan roared into the sky the faint purple glow that had been surrounding him shot upwards into the stars. Just burning it off so that it didn't give him the feeling that he needed to smash something. Calming down a little he plopped down causing the ground to shake and released a heavy sigh blinking his large crimson orbs.

She squeaked and released her hold on his hand as he roared. Looking up to him with wide, concerned eyes, she covered her mouth, trying not to look afraid or upset. When he sat, she looked to him with a smile again, looking shy now. She did not truly know if he could or even would want to talk to her. Simply put, she just wanted to be with him and until he could make it clear what she could provide for him, she would do nothing more than remain quiet, taking satisfaction with being in his presence.

With no enemy to fight, and being around someone who was calm he was slowly shrinking in size. Black colored steam burned off from his body into the air. The rampage would only last as long as he had anger to feed off. Finally he shrunk back down to normal size and then immediately flopped onto his back as his skin slowly returned to its normal color, breathing heavily all the while.

She watched with great curiosity, hoping he would be fine. Smiling, she took his hand again, holding it reassuringly. She wanted him to know she was there for him, even with all the insanity of the day. Though part of her had a lot to say, she chose to remain silent at his side, watching him with kind eyes and smile.

He squeezed her hand in return and smiled over to her closing his eyes. Taking a deep breath he spoke "We see you've come out of hiding for us.." he mumbled quietly. Taking another breath he sat up slowly and shook his head back and forth to clear out all the fuzzy feelings.

"I wish for you to be happy." she said softly, bobbing her head. Holding his arm as he sat up, she remained close to him. There was so much she could say though she still did not know how best to say it. Finding it difficult to speak, she could only find these few words. "My Love, I have failed you. Can you forgive me?" she spoke softly, looking to him with wide eyes, ready to accept any answer he were to give.

Yawgmoth moved his other hand up to her cheek and brushed against her flesh softly. "No, you haven't. We are disappointed to find out you went that route. But as long as you don't stay that route and walk that path, we're fine with that. No one is perfect, one mistake is easily forgotten. You have forgotten all of our mistakes, it would be wrong of us to damn you for one misadventure." he said in a gentle tone hoping to reassure her. She was still as naive and innocent as always to him. One blood stained incident wouldn't deter him from thinking that.

She was still rather crumbling from all of this, but had little idea of what to do. Craving his touch, she leaned in to his hand, closing her eyes. When he spoke, she let out a great sigh of relief, though was clearly still quite upset with herself. Squeezing the hand she held tighter, she spoke again. "I am meant to help, meant to protect, to do whatever is necessary to ensure peace and happiness for as many people as possible .. and yet when I do .. when faced with the challenges like tonight .. I bring such sorrow to those I love. I do not know what to do. I do not understand why there is the double standard. I want to help .. I must help!" she said, the tone of her voice showing she was rapidly slipping back in to the panic mode that she had escaped just a few moments before.

Shaking his head back and forth. "We're not faulting you for helping. We used to joke, that if you were evil, twisted like we are that we would've been together a lot sooner. Looking back on that, it isn't what we want. Because it isn't who we fell for, do you understand? We just don't want you to walk the path of a heartless murderer..to walk the same path we did. Because that isn't you. Justice is a tricky thing my dear, while they may have deserved it, it doesn't make it right...though we're not exactly the right person to be preaching morals to you. You're talking to a man who's killed people just...for the sport of it. Not because they were horrible people. It's...complicated. But do you get our point? The ability to take life is a huge responsibility. Don't use it like us." he explained further hoping she'd understand. Of all the people who would care if she killed someone he wasn't the very likely candidate. Having butchered entire worlds before 'just because' he wanted them for his empire. "At least, take solace in the fact that if you kill to save people, to protect, it's the most accepted form of murder. This justice. No one will miss those depraved madmen you killed. You saved Aliator, his daughter probably already thanks you without knowing. Do you see?" he tried to get it across a little better.

"I should not have killed those who were imprisoned .. they were going to be killed any way .. I wanted to spare the girl .. I think .. I think they killed her also." she said with a squeak before crying again. "I understand. I do. And I will do better, I promise. Please .. please help me .. tell me what I need to do to make it better .." she said softly. Tonight was monumental for Ziven. Now, in this moment of being vulnerable, she asked for help - a feat that no other had achieved with her.

Yawgmoth slid his arms around her body and held her close as she started to cry. "Shhh this is exactly what we wanted. We just wanted you to talk about it. To cry if you needed to. To get it off your chest. This way whatever demons may or may not haunt you from this experience don't stand a chance. That's what you can to make it better. Just...talk about it with us, let things out. We're here to listen for you." he replied softly kissing the top of her head.

"I was not thinking of you yesterday. I was thinking of Ali, to rescue him with whatever force was necessary. I am so sorry, I will think of you and how my actions will affect you in the future. I did not know." she said softly, curling up against him, trying to calm herself. That he was now speaking to her in a gentile tone helped her more than he would know. Still clinging to his hand, she pulled it closer, nuzzling his hand with her cheek. "I am so sorry."

Shaking his head back and forth he kind of laughed at the notion. "Mm that may be difficult. What we find appropriate is very different from what normal people do. We don't condemn the act of killing. Most people do. There is.....a certain rush one gains from murder. One that cannot be replicated. What we do condemn is killing to feel that certain rush and for no other reason. We did that. Many many times. But that isn't you. That isn't Ziven. You would only kill to save your friends, the people you care about. That's far more admirable than murder for an adrenaline pump. Take it from us." he replied with a deep sigh. She needed to understand he was only upset because of the path that could be taken once one's hands had stained in the blood of another. But she wasn't going to take that path he was pretty sure. "Still" he said stroking his free hand gently through her hair. "You have nothing to be sorry for. Ali needed help. You helped him. You did what was necessary, if we were you, we would've done the same thing in that situation."
