Emotions Legend
[quote][b]Asmodeus (Nov 05, 2002 08:37 a.m.):[/b] "She did it to me too, Nathan." Mode looked at Jor silently. The parallel was not inaccurate. It wasn't easy to overlook that it had been Jor who'd beaten him senseless at Battleschool. Even if it had been Wick's idea, it was Jor who'd carried it out - and he could remember quite clearly the happy zeal on Jor's face when he'd knocked him to the ground. On the other hand, without Jor's ignorant intervention, he and Kat would be orbiting Earth. In small pieces. [i]Alright, Jor. She fucked me over, and now she's fucked you over. But you asked for it. You knew what she was, and you still let her in. What did you expect?[/i] "There's a cargo ship leaving for Elisabeta in a little over two hours," he said finally. "I can arrange the transfer to their training program. Once you're there, you're on your own." Jor didn't really react, and Mode let him sit there for a few seconds before adding a spur to get him out of his daze. "If I were you, Jor," he said in a low voice, leaning forward slightly, "I'd be packing." That got him up, and he started to move around the room, gathering things to shove into his bag. Mode went to the terminal on the desk and made the necessary arrangements with the transport and the transfer office. He wanted to put a lock on Wick's medical record, but doing that from an unsecured terminal wasn't a good idea. He had to speak with the doctor anyway. It would wait long enough for him to get Jor to the dock. Jor was haphazardly grabbing things to take with him, and he looked up when Mode was done with the terminal. The man's hands were bloody, his knuckles swollen, but his face was unmarked. [i]She didn't hit him back. She probably did it so he would feel guilty later. Maybe she thought he would stop.[/i] He'd seen the first few minutes of the beating; there weren't many people who could have taken that kind of abuse without reciprocation. [i]I didn't.[/i] [i]That[/i] parallel was far more uncomfortable than the one Jor had drawn, and any remaining sympathy he had for the man disappeared. "That's enough. Let's go." Jor followed him down to the dock.[/quote]
