[quote][b]Remus (Jul 15, 2003 11:48 a.m.):[/b] Scene: Seila is kneeling before a freshly-covered grave in the middle of the old village graveyard on Dorn. Behind her, Xan emerges from the trees, but does not approach. S: (humorlessly) "Funny how we always seem to be reunited over the grave of a friend." X: "I'm sorry about Nemin. He was a good soldier, and a good friend." S: "He respected you a lot, you know. After you left, he asked me if I was sure we should go through with it. He said, 'If Xan isn't with us, how do we know what we're doing is right?" X: "You did what you thought was right. So did I. That's the best any of us can do." S: "Yeah, well. It wasn't good enough for Nemin." X: (long pause) "You blame me for Nemin's death." S: "Get over yourself, Xan. Nemin was a big boy. He made his own decisions. We all did." X: "And you blame me anyways. For leaving." S: "We could have used you." X: "You would have killed billions of innocent draconans if you had succeeded. I liked Nemin, but I'm glad you failed. If the cost of those civilians' lives was Nemin's, then it was worth it." S: "You filthy son of a bitch. How DARE you say that? You... you TRAITOR." (Silence) S: "Why are you here? Come to rub the defeat of my army in my face while I bury my friend? Is that it? Well, mission accomplished. Get out of my sight." X: "I'm not one of your soldiers anymore. And you're in *my* home." S: "What are you talking about?" X: "Look around you. Do you recognize this place? You saw it once, a long time ago." S: "...your village." X: (looking around) "It's seen better days." S: (rising and walking toward village center) "It's strange. I think I knew already what this place was. You're all over it, you know. You left an imprint." (pause) "Maybe that's why this place felt right. I was looking for a terran village -- I didn't want to bury Nemin alone. And I found this place, and it felt *right*. I understand now. Nemin would be happy with this. Poor bastard never did get over his hero-worship of you, not even when you deserted." X: "That's my house, there." S: "Will you go inside?" X: "No. No, I don't think so." S: "You sure? When we took this planet all of the terran remains were buried in their own graveyard." X: "And the draconan civilians?" S: "You keep trying to make a point, Xan. Do me a favor and jab it in your eye. You going in or not." X: "No." S: "So you didn't come here to visit home?" X: "No, I came looking for you." S: "You've found me." X: "I need your help." S: "Hah!" X: "I'm serious." S: "You're crazy if you think I'll help you." X: "You'll help me." S: "You think so?" X: "I think so. If you listen to what I have to tell you." S: "So tell. Ought to be pretty damn interesting." X: "I'm going to fight a being planning to collapse the universe and I'm raising an army to fight her templar. I need someone to lead it for me." S: "Is this some kind of joke?" X: "No joke. We're talking the end of all things." S: "I think you had better start at the beginning." X: "I think you had better find a place to sit."[/quote]
