The gentleness that briefly crossed him surprised her, causing the hard mask to briefly disappear in shock. Concern flickered through her gaze but she couldn't help but frown. That voice was not the one she knew... It was different somehow. Before she could think on it, however, he was again that mask of hatred. She knew she should be afraid but it only brought that heavy feeling that she knew so little about him all the heavier. She simply rolled her eyes and again tried to look tough, to hide the hurt that his hatred caused her. She knew how much he had to hate her... a replacement, a copy.
Only as he spoke to the other half did she realize that he too had been reborn exactly as she. A fractured soul... even if his two personalities could become one as he really was just leander reborn. The irony that he was telling... himself.. not to speak to her was almost funny. The ache of seeing him in such pain, however, made her unable to laugh. She frowned a moment only to instinctively run over and try to grab his fist before it hit the glass. She reacted without thinking, just not wanting to see him bleed or hurt anymore.
"Stop!... Just Stop. The senshi really would kill you if you don't settle down...." She whispered, her voice briefly shaking from her own inner turmoil. Shay hated him, and she loved him... What could she do? She couldn't help him but she couldn't leave him. He was in too much of a state to be left alone. She shivered, her grip on his wrist tightening as she felt lost a moment. She didn't want to be a senshi, she didn't want to be fides... but fides would have been able to do something. For just a moment she felt a pang of envy for the past princess who had so easily thrown away her soul for the love of a man.
