Isabel's gaze got a bit harder as well when he talked abut how she could just up and leave if this was more about a personal vendetta then it was about stopping the arbiters. This time she held her ground, and she spoke in a voice more dipped into anger and frustration then she did before. "That is not the case, and it has nothing to do with the lives of your team." She was about to talk about why it was that she was really here, why it was that she was fighting the arbiters, however, she found herself unable to answer it through even her own mind.<br/><br/>Because it was the right thing to do? No... that wasn't it... Because the arbiters needed to be stopped? No... that wasn't it either. Was it because Isabel simply hated seeing her old comrade being manipulated? Yeah, that was it. That person, she was special to Isabel. She hated the way that Keller simply used her as a simple killing machine, a weapon to be used and discarded once it broke. That was why she was here, that was why she wanted to fight against the arbiters.<br/><br/>When it came to things like death, Isabel was shockingly neutral.<br/>"If you think I'm too great a risk because of that, then I'll leave."<br/><br/>Somebody that was concerned if they lived or died was a liability to her anyway.<br/><em>"To be a truly great warrior, you must go into each battle prepared to die."</em><br/><br/>Lesson 1, Day 1.
