[Deadpan stare at his mun.] I couldn’t care less which community piques your interest. My presence is not required.

[Gaara turns off to the side, his voice lowering briefly.] You’re not the only one with requirements. There is nothing there for me if…

[He trails off, and then turns back to state in a flat tone, scowling.] I won’t cooperate.

[HATE]

You... feel alone? [He feels shocked, because he honestly didn't think Ishtar of all people, would ever feel lonely.] But... how?

You will have Duzell with you, and possibly other people from your world. You won't lack company, Ishtar.

[ciamewaoiaw more steps backward]

Don't be so sure about that...

[His expression hardens; he can't relent, or she will end up in a situation worse than she deserves.]

You're still faring well at the facility, after all. I feel confident that you will be fine in the tower as well.

[ HATE ALL YOU WANT BUB BUT YOU AIN'T GETTING NOWHERE. ]

Yeah... [ She replied her tone very serious at that answer. ]

Company is different from what you feel. Sometimes, even if I'm surrounded by people, I still feel alone.

[ She retorted, stepping forward again. Stop moving back GAARA! ]

Do you want to try? I can prove it to you like I've always had.

[ She replied taking another step forward. ]

Fairing well? [ She paused. ] I'm barely hanging on. That tower...at least it will be a bit better, but it's not exactly the nicest place either.

[okay fine then no more redhead for Ish >: no more funny derp times]

I… never knew. [He tips his head down, feeling a twinge of shame at never having noticed. He still wondered how it was possible.]

......

I’ve felt that way before as well, but… your company doesn’t hate you, Ishtar. [Whereas most of the people in his presence, usually feared him or wanted him dead. Not very pleasant to be around.

He is going to keep moving back, and WHY DO YOU FOLLOW HIM ORZ]

How can you prove something like that? [He gives her a peculiar look.] You’re speaking nonsense.

You have new friends and many people to protect you. I don’t understand how you can feel alone, in that situation. [His face suddenly twists with irritation, darkening his features.] You’re lying to me. You don’t need me. You never will. No one ever… [He trails off, uncomfortable with feeling so exposed all of a sudden.]

[xroyal_bratx]

[ awwww gimme all your derps! ]

Well, no you do.

[ She replied smiling. She stepped forward even more for that response. ]

It's still something that I feel, regardless of who I am with, you know?

[ Ishtar didn't fear him, so he has minus one less person that is terrified of him?

Because IT'S ISHTAR, SHE'S NOT GOING TO LET HIM GET AWAY. ]

I have my ways.

[ She grinned. ] Not at all.

So what? You're not my friend then? I can't care for you?

[ Ishtar shrugged. ]

Everyone has those moments, Gaara. Even if there are billions of people that support me, I'll still feel alone once in a while.

[ She looked at him, her face deadpan serious. ]

I need you just as I need everyone else. You're important to me.

[ NOPE. She's going to close whatever little distance they had and GAARA YOU GET HUGS, and they weren't dangerous... so...she'll just huggg him reallllyy tight there. ]
