*Seigi let out a quick exhale, dropping onto a single hand as before, then down onto his palm. He held himself in the air with one arm, looking over with his mouth slightly opened. He took a breath as some of his sweat-soaked hair moved slightly down over his yellow eyes.*

**"I had never thought of myself as following. Following to where?.."**
*He switched to his other arm.*
**"And.. I don't have much to say about that darkness. It's nothing I know about either."**

*Sees him working out and his soaked in sweat and his breath heavy she took a soft one of her own before speaking*

`"Not following orestis I made a poor choice of words what do you find in orestis that makes you stay around? Why do you accompany her on her journey to wherever that may be?"`
Charles
*He looked back down at the ground, his hair falling down, obscuring his face. He began to lower himself again, slower this time. Ever detail of his toned arms and shoulders rippling as he continued pushing, switching arms, then doing it again.*

**"I never considered that i would be would be following. I simply had a goal and found it beneficial to stay with this group. They seem helpful enough."**

*He narrowed his eyes, grimacing as he switched to his left arm, trembling as he raised himself up one more time, dropping onto his chest and slowly lifting himself up with both arms.*
Marlene
*Sees him continuing to work out she shook her head slowly before sighing and looking down as she speaks again.*

`"So you only are here because it is beneficial to stay with us no other reason?"`
Charles
*He sat up, panting slowly through his mouth. He leaned back on one of his arms, using the other hand to sweep the silver hair out of his face.*

**"For what other reason would I stay? By the end of my journey, I will be wanted by all kingdoms, a name which is spoken in reverence by thieves and in disgust by law keepers."**
*He declared his eyes fixing themselves on Iferia.*
**"What is your reason?"**
Marlene
*Took a mental note of his reasoning, it wasn't any good reasoning she didn't like it this reasoning he gave made her not trust him. It made her believe he was no better than a mercenary but then again she didn't know what he has been through.*

`"By the end of your journey you'll be wanted by all kingdoms why is that? I personally don't care to much for the kingdoms of this world only my home. I follow master because she saved me from the darkness she showed us, hope she shows courage, brings happiness, puts the clothes on our back, the food in our bellies, a warm bed to sleep on. Shows honor in battle and mercy to her enemies, love to the people she cares about. She has shown you nothing but kindness and you are only here simply so you can use us like we are tools to further your own goals with little to no care of the people you are using?"`

*She asks softly returning her gaze to his.*
Charles
**"I will choose to be a bountied man, because my goal requires it. Because i want to create a world where all can live free, not under the chains of another, unimposed by the goals and desires of others."**
*He said, a fire growing in his soul and eyes as he began to shift, growing toward standing up.*
**"That is why your assumption is incorrect. I see you all as anything but tools- each and every person in this establishment is a life, one that i intend on protecting the freedom of."**
Marlene
`"Then your goal isn't that far off from my masters goal her goal is to achieve a world of peace where one doesn't have to fight to survive where children don't have to be trained to fight to protect themselves a world where racism amongst races is far and few in-between, it won't be a perfect world but it will be a better world. I care about you seigi I want you to be safe and with us in our journey but will masters goal conflict with your goal two people with same goals and ideals may clash in the future over who leads."`
Charles
*He looked up at her, taking a deep breath and closing his eyes. He exhaled, looking up and opening them.*
**"I hold you and your crew in respect. But, what will happen will happen. We have the same goal, so who leads does not matter..."**

*He thought for a moment, then speaking once more.*
**"But, i assure you, i will not be following."**
Marlene
`"What is so wrong with following? Why do you keep saying that you won't follow? I have never asked you to follow nor has orestis you are here on your own free will. Hopefully you will see that we just want to be your friend and be helpful to you."`
Charles
**"If i follow, then the leader is in risk. If i lead myself, i bear the weight of punishment."**
*He said, conviction filling his words as he replied to Iferia, blinking and crunching his eyebrows together.*
