Lucia smiled and leaned next to his ear.
"Don't try to think too much, I've just about given up on getting home, but it's not so bad here once you get used to it." She shook her head, as she chuckled.
"Even though things get a little crazy around here." She clapped him on the shoulder and saluted with her pistol.
"I'm counting on you to watch my back out here Dante. After all, we're teammates right?"

*i nod and reach for my gunblade.* Lucia may I speak with you alone for a minute?

She blinked and then turned to the others waving them on.
"Sure." She said with confusion.
"What is it?" Her stomach was in knots...his hands were...on the move...she instinctivly reached back and hokked her hand in her back belt loop..right next to her Mag rod.

Lucia.....if we do reach rufus and we get him to talk.i want you to stop me if i get out of control, which usually happens when my eyes go to a black color. *i place my hand on her shoulder* please...promise me.

She shuddered against his touch. It was almost to the point of being freezing.
"What are you talking about? Out of control?" She flicked her blue eyes back and forth across his face.
"Black eyes?"

My eyes are normally red in color when i get really angry i become a bit more violent and my eyes go black. its like i have something trapped inside of me that wants to get out.

*I look ahead and yell* yeah we're coming. Come on Lucia. Let's go.

Lucia was shaking visibly as Dante talked. She didn't know what 'stopping him' invovled...but he looked serious.
"Alright...." She took a shaky breath.
"I'll do as you ask..." With a nod she followed him as they made a dash to catch up with Ash and Leon.

*walks over* what the heck is this thing? wheres tron? *stands there adjusting my coat.*

Lucia shrugged as she joined him.
"Don't look at me, I've only been here once...and that was re-con." She shoved her pistol in her holster and adjusted her Mag-rod so that it didn't dig into her spine.

*finishes adjusting my coat* *mouths out the words Thank you. when i looked at lucia*

Lucia turned a light pink and smiled.
"No worries." She whispered as loudly as she dared.
"I'm not going to let you get that far..." She gave a thumbs up and smacked his shoulder lightly.

Alright lucia. im a bit nervous about this. ~i hope i dont lose control of this inner beast inside me.! *i begin to get light headed and stagger over to where a blurred figure that looks like lucia is...* ~not now....~

She nodded and looked around.
"You and me both...hey..Dante--" Lucia stopped and her eyes widened.
"Crap." She caught hold of his shoulders as he staggerde towards her, and she shook him lightly.
"DAnte! Hey, talk to me! What's wrong!?" She turned to Ash and Leon with a frantic pleading look.
"What can I do!? How do I help him?!"

~not now....~ im just a bit overwhelemed by this first mission. *stands up and shakes it off* im alright.....

She turned her worried gaze back to him and cupped her hands around his face, her eyes searching his. They were darker...and she shuddered thinking about what he'd asked her.
"Are you sure that's it?" She managed to choke out without too much pitch in her voice.

Yes im sure Lucia....~i hope thats all it is~ *i lean in and whisper in lucia's ear* remeber waht i told you earlier.... it might get a little hectic... and try to escape aevery once in a while...this only happens when im about to do something dangerous it happened a bit while i was keeping tabs on shin-ra.... that is why i dont have much information on them....sadly it never used to be like this before my family was taken from me by SOLDIER. Lucia i can supress it but at a great risk to my mental state...please help me if i do have to supress it....please.

She nodded...and then slowly wrapped her arms around his shoulders, much to her own confusement, and set her gaze in a determined scowl.
"I'm not going to make excuses...Shin-Ra did horrible things to you and Ash, and I'm not going to act righteous and say that I'll make up for it...but..I'll help you..and take what punishment I have coming for helping the organization that did this." She righted them both and stared hard at his face.
"That is a promise...I break bones, noses and wills...but never promises."

Thank you Lucia. *places my arms on her shoulders.* *whispers in her ear...* i will try to keep it under wraps. lucia if there is anything i can do to make it up to you as my way of thanking you please let me know.

She grinned boyishly and clasped her hands behind her back.
"Put in the good word for me when you get to Heaven?" She turned and laughed half-heartedly.

*i laught a little* ~not again~ *my vision becomes blurry and my arm twitches a bit as my voice goes deeper* I'M FREE!!!! *my other half is standing there with a large grin on his face.* *My voice returns to normal and i stand there*..... Lucia.... please help me....he's trying to get out...

Time crawled as Lucia turned back to where she'd left Dante.
"What the......Dante?" She let out a gasp and took a step backward. There was no time to waste, but she wasn't about to let go of the chance to let him know she was angry.
"WHY DID YOU LIE TO ME!!?" She cried reaching for her pistol, even if she didn't use it, seeing it in her hand might convince her to ignore her quaking knees and do what she had to.

Lucia...i didnt lie to you...*i growl a bit and stand there all out of breath* i....sur...press.e...ed it...
