“Big talk, Genesis, but even an untrained infantry man could see you can barely wield that sword right now, and if you want to get any stronger I need some ethers and access to proper medical tools.” She gave him an unimpressed look.
Her frown deepened a bit. “We can revisit this matter of betrayers and vengeance LATER. Right now we need to get you and Angeal out of here. Far away from them, and far away from ShinRa.”
With that she pulled a rifle from her back that she took off one of the less fortunate infantry. Pulling back the bolt and cocking it, she stood at the ready. “I promised myself that i’d do what it took to protect you boys. I don’t plan to hand Angeal over to ShinRa or whoever these others are, and I don’t plan to do the same for you.”
She gave a scowl as she kept a sharp eye out, the sound of a heli faintly cutting through the cold air. “I may not be driven by vengeance but as far as i’m concerned the bulk of the science division can rot. They’d cut you and Angeal apart if given the chance. But I am the Nibel wolf and…”
She pulled out her phone again and quickly snapped a photo before sending a few messages. “I have a reputation to uphold for keeping my boys alive and healthy. Think what you will of me, your survival is my priority as well. Congrats on your and Angeal’s resurrections by the way. ShinRa will be limited in what they are able to do publicly without sparking a full on riot now.” A familiar smile from her, he hadn’t seen in ages.
“Do you remember when we saw the stage adaption of Loveless, Genesis? Just the two of us? It was the day before you were to go to be sent to Wutai. I wanted to do something special for you because I didn’t know if you’d ever come back alive. That it might be the last time I saw you.” She gave a soft chuckle.
“Of course, you hated it. No surprise there. I should have known you wouldn’t be that wild about something which took those liberties… but that moment and certain lines always stuck out for me. Perhaps it was how the actors delivered it… perhaps it was just how relevant if felt at the time… but I never forgot.”
Teeth clenched while him just keeping himself up was enough to begin to wire him down, his breath now quickening a little while the magic on his blade now dissipated.
His eyes closed for a moment, taking in the information and her own side mention of that play. Genesis could feel his free hand clench the air and then it started to gently light itself on fire.
“You’re correct, i do despise improper adaptations of such a tale.” Genesis said with an odd chuckle, even melting into a full blown laugh for a solid couple of seconds. This demeanor could come to a shock to anyone who really knew anything about Genesis but this was peculiar even for him.
After a few moments, he collected himself and the fire that remained within his hand has now died alongside his laughter. Genesis then turned a little to side eye her with a light smirk upon his lips.
The black wing he had on his left side also relaxed itself a tad, now simply allowing it to rest upon his back but the extra weight was still a fair hindrance for him to handle while he could barely even hold his blade.
He knew that his actions of wanted revenge or fighting right now will prove very little for him and he knew the scheme he had planned perhaps may take a permanent detour at this rate.
The crimson coated male now weakened the distance between the two, now awaiting for her further instructions.
