Emotions Legend
[quote][b]Asmodeus (Aug 23, 2001 12:50 a.m.):[/b] Mode met the vicious green-gold gaze so like the one he loved with his own icy slate and glared back at the man before him. This man's appearance meant one of two things; either Katera had gotten his obscure message and told her father, or her father had been looking for him on his own and somehow managed to locate him. He wanted to know, for any number of reasons, but Robert Quistin wasn't in the mood to tell him. "I'm here for her ring. Give it to me. Now." He stiffened involuntarily and then looked at the man with a half-incredulous, half-furious stare. This man had access to his daughter as he pleased. He could see her when he pleased, he could look on her and love her and protect her from as close or as far away as he chose, and now he demanded that Mode give up the only token he had left of the love of his life. Even the IA hadn't tried to take that away from him. For a moment, he suffered doubt. Perhaps Katera had sent her father to retrieve the ring, unable to come herself. Once, he'd offered the ring back to Katera, and she'd refused it. Things had been different between them at that point than they had at the end; there had still been an unspoken poison between them. That was before they had been healed, before the moment in the barracks when he knew beyond doubt that she loved and cherished him as he wanted so badly to love and cherish her, as he wanted so badly to be loved. [i]Never...[/i] The remembered intensity of her refusal washed away the seed of doubt before it could take root, and he eyed Quistin coldly, leaving his arms at his sides. "No. I'll give it back to her, if she'll take it. But not to you, sir." His voice was the same temperature as his eyes. The ring was all he had of her. No one was going to take it away from him, especially not this angry, blustering fool who struck Katera just as easily as Asmodeus had, with as little forethought. If the IA intended to let Quistin kill him, he wouldn't scruple to disable him. He might even enjoy it. "If you want it, ask her for it." He took a breath, and then spoke more quietly. "It doesn't belong to me to give you."[/quote]
