When you're angry, when you're upset, it's difficult to control yourself.

[ Hermione swallows, her throat like cotton. She so rarely talks about this, but she knows hiding it just makes it worse, making her own self-loathing grow. ]

When there's a world out there with people that come and attack you, try to kill you, slaughter your friends in front of you... You can't control yourself. It's about protecting the people you love, and there's no limit to what I would do for those people.

[axiomed]

. . . I know that feeling.

[ He'll never forgive Kyriakos for what they did to his team, over and over. And how they made him watch. ]

[brainiest]

[ She blinks back her tears and breathes out a soft noise, swallowing. ]

I've seen the worst of people, but at least... I've seen the best, too. People are amazing, in their hearts, and it's wonderful to see that, even in the darkest times.

[axiomed]

[ He can't help the brief smile. ]

That is what I believe. I have hope that people can overcome the worst.

[brainiest]

Of course they can. They just might need a little help.

[ She thinks of Dorian, who thinks he's lost in his own madness and evil, and Gilgamesh, who was cruel but also far too kind. She thinks of her family and the people she's loved and lost and she knows that they all had goodness in their hearts, goodness that she supported and cherished for as long as she had known them. ]

That's what I fight for. A better future, a chance for people to see their own strength.

[axiomed]

It comes down to their choices in the end.

[ Charles believes. But he won't interfere with their choices. They have to make their own before he can involve himself. Charles will never repeat the mistakes he made with Raven. ]

[brainiest]

All we can do is hope they make the best one for them.

[ Right and wrong - they're not as easy as other people think. Hermione knows that. ]

[axiomed]

That is the decision I made for myself.

[ He won't give up. ]

[brainiest]

... You know, I think you might see why we got along so well now.

[ She fights her grin, nudging his hand gently. ]

[axiomed]

[ He grins. ]

We might be too dangerous a combination for people to handle.

[brainiest]

We were. There's a reason I chose you to be at my side. You and I always worked well together, and I doubt that'll change here.

[axiomed]

It looks like it will continue to do so.

[brainiest]

I hope so.

[ And she means that, too. There's a moment of hesitation before she hums, thoughtful. ]

I really am glad you're here, you know.

[axiomed]

I know.

[ He doesn't doubt it, complicated feelings aside. ]

[brainiest]

I wanted to make sure. I wanted to make sure that you know that - people are glad to see you.

[axiomed]

Not to worry. I'm used to getting a rough welcome.

[brainiest]

Well, you shouldn't be and I'm not going to allow it if I have anything to say about it.

[ And that's that. ]

[axiomed]

[ His lips quirk. ]

What do you intend to do?

[brainiest]

Give them a stern talking to, of course.

[ She grins, nudging his arm with her own. ]

[axiomed]

I'm sure they will all quiver in fright.

[brainiest]

They will when I turn into a lioness and bite them in the backside.

[ She huffs. ]

[axiomed]

[ He smiles despite himself. ]

I don't believe the situation is so dire.

[brainiest]

At least you know that you have someone at your back.

[ And she means it, gentle and sure, her eyes flicking over his face before she hums. ]

And I can be scary as myself, too. Have you ever seen a flock of birds fly at someone's head?

[axiomed]

[ He does know that, though the confidence wavers from time to time. ]

I can't say that I have.

[brainiest]

I can summon them, if you'd like to see some magic. Not ones that would attack you, of course! Just birds...

[ She worries, for a moment, that she's too earnest and pushing too hard, and she resists the urge to take a step back and literally give Charles space. ]
