"Austin...?" Neytiri managed. "Is this what we're going to be doing for all our lives...? War... for reasons unfathomed?" Neytiri rasped.

Austin picked her up, not responding, and set her on the bed. He sat on a nearby chair before answering. "One day we will be free from this bloodshed...and the power will be destroyed. But for now, we must fight." He said. Unlike the Austin from a year ago, he rarely smiled, and laughed even less. He had been hardened from a life of battle and war, bloodshed seemed to mean nothing anymore to him. The only thing he cared about was his army, his wife, and winning the war.

"Austin... you're different. I miss you." She whispered, touching his cheek with her fingers.

(( They're like, 16/17 right? ))

 

[LittleLady98]

He held her hand. "All things change at some point..." He looked away.

(Yeah.)

 

[TechnoCat]

"I remember when you smiled. When you laughed. When the power wasn't on your mind." She whispered, tears in her eyes. "I want you back...!" She wailed.

 

[LittleLady98]

He stood up. "I'm sorry...But I must finish this war once and for all."

 

[TechnoCat]

"That doesn't mean you can't change. It doesn't mean you can't smile or laugh again." She murmured, so close to crying it was completely horrifying to Austin. "This war could take forever to win... I don't want to lose the old you completely." She whispered, standing back up and putting her hands on his shoulders, hanging her head in sadness.

 

[LittleLady98]

His arms slid around her waist, pulling her into a hug. He kissed the top of her head. "Change takes time."

 

[TechnoCat]

"I don't care. I just want you, not some fake Austin that doesn't smile anymore. I miss your smile; it was so handsome..." She begun to shudder lightly.

 

[LittleLady98]

He kissed her gently on the lips, then turned to leave.

 

[TechnoCat]

She fell to her knees, burying her face in her hands, sobbing lightly.
