Don't See Me
The absence of a reply from Droite left such a bad taste within his mouth and slightly made Chris want to fidget around, be it only a little. Slightly he shuffled his feet, not in embarrassment, but in nervousness. The only sounds coming from chattering of people, a plane flying overhead, or even cars that were passing nearby. It even seemed that, as of the moment, his greatest interest was in the sounds from the environment that he had been placed upon. There was a small of glance from the other, then eyes soon placed back upon the front of him. Chris wasn’t really sure if she was just being silent as she wanted to give no sort of reply, or if she was just thinking of a reply to give to Chris. Not that it would greatly matter to him, but some sort of reply would give Chris some sort of stick to lean onto. Yet it was apparent that perhaps she would not reply. Thus Chris stopped looking for one.
Yet it seemed that moments after he made such a choice words started to fall down the other’s tongue. There came relaxation as the other forgave his brothers. That’s all that matters. Personally, Chris didn’t care if she ever forgave him, as long as his brothers had been forgiven, Chris not cared for anything. Blue eyes gave such a short glance at the other as there was talk of Tron. Of course… Tron would not be forgiven. Chris was always ready to hear something like that from anyone… even if Tron—- Byron did change. But as much as he wanted to deny it, as hard as he refused to acknowledge it… Chris wouldn’t be able to forgive his father either. Even if it was due to Barian magi, it was still hard to do. After so much that Chris did for his father, it was just so hard to do. Thus, Chris did not pursue her of any other answer toward that.
Yet, when the other spoke of him, Chris seemed to have tensed up, be it so slightly. There was a tempted glance toward the other as there was again silence, yet there was none and thus he kept looking forward. Yet, in true honestly, Chris not cared. He didn’t see the point in caring at this point as it was already that the other forgave his brothers. It was only for his brothers, that’s all that really mattered now anyway. “I don’t care if you forgive me or not. I’m fine with the reply you already had given me."
Droite said nothing, somewhat surprised by the reply she was given. Of course, she guessed Chris would have wanted his brothers to be forgiven; they had caused her no harm, after all. It was only Chris and Tron, who had wronged her - or someone she cared about - to a certain extent. The thing that surprised her was the fact that he did not fight against her when she said she could not forgive Tron. She was certain that she probably would never forgive him, as well. "It doesn't bother you that I can't forgive your father?" she asked him. He seemed to be the loyal familial type. Then again, Chris' appearance did easily deceive people. Still, she could not imagine him being fine with the idea that she was against one member of his family. On the other hand, he did know what Tron had done. She supposed there was only so much family love could defend. It could probably defend murder, but probably not all the things Tron had done, from putting people in comas to using his own sons as worthless puppets. There were probably more things, things she did not know about, but she didn't think she would want to know. It was also a little surprising that he didn't care about whether or not he was forgiven. She did, eventually, want to try and forgive him. After all, it wasn't as if he had purposefully harmed her, unlike his father. Chris' actions were justified; he was following orders. And still, even after thinking about it and knowing that, she could not forgive him in that moment in time. Perhaps it just was not the right time yet. "And it doesn't bother you that I can't forgive you yet?" she added. There was no way this man could have been real. Other people would have cared about whether or not they were forgiven. Then again, Chris was different. Chris was...well, he was Chris. He was an anomaly. Not that it was too much of a bad thing. Droite did not break eye contact with him. She didn't feel the need to any more; she was becoming more and more comfortable with his presence. After all, he wasn't exactly a terrible person. He was intimidating, but if she dealt with Gauche on a daily basis - he could be intimidating, and along with his build, he really could have used that to his advantage - then she could deal with a tiny bit of intimidation from Chris.
