[The moment Leos was dragged back to base it was clear things were going to be pretty bad. Why? Because his handler was chewing him out royally right there in the hangar.]
Lana-
Pale Rider is being put into repairs again Leos, and not only that your actions are having PROGTECH question your competence. They are planning to drop your sponsorship altogether because of your childish, undisciplined and impulsive behavior-
He was there Lana! Hustler One... Nineball... He was there! I had to-
[This was punctuated by a tremendously hard slap that sent Leos to the ground with a cry. That definitely left a mark, and that whimper he let out was more along the lines of a kicked puppy than the wild, anger driven animal that had been out in the field. Lana didn't even raise her voice as she proceeded to tear into him like a frigid wind with a side order of ice cold rain.]
Cause irreparable damage to several of Pale Rider's systems for the sake of revenge. Revenge I may add that you aren't even prepared to take because of how under-trained, inexperienced and ill equipped you are. Not to mention your immaturity and utter lack of ability to maintain focus on a designated objective.
You. are. pathetic. I'm locking down the Pale Rider after its repairs are complete and speaking to PROGTECH about suspending your access to the Arena for the time being. Until you can actually learn to grow up as well as use a machine without completely destroying it, don't you dare so much as even get five feet of that Armored Core.
[Lana does a precise turn without even looking back at Leos, who looked up at her with a piteous expression on his face.]
Lana... Lana wait...'m sorry... please don't go... don't be mad... please..?
[No dice, she just walks out the closest exit, leaving Leos to slump to the ground.]
[Do you go after Lana? Or Stick with Leos?]

What's this about you fighting for revenge? You didn't get into a fight with somebody, did you?

I just... I went after him and be beat me down like a sick dog... I couldn't even get a single hit in.

I'm not going to pretend that I know what you're going through, or that I know better than you do. When it comes down to it, chances are you know a lot more about this military stuff than I do.
[Or ever will, for that matter.]
But in all those old war movies, the old general guy is always telling the young new troops to put their feelings aside while they're in battle. That if they go out there and throw themselves at the enemy without any real thought, they're just gonna get killed, and their fellow soldiers with them.
[Kaname shrugs.]
I know they're just movies, but there might be at least a grain of truth in them. You just have to wait. That guy's bound to re-appear eventually. You just need to make sure that you're ready then.
And that you're not putting yourself -- or anyone else -- in harm's way.

I want to help people, and I don't want anyone from here to get hurt... but... there's just <i.something wrong with me...

All you can really do is try and reign those feelings in. Meditate, maybe. I mean, you're not going to be any use to anyone if you're dead.

[Leos nods slowly.]
Does that really work? Meditation I mean...
From:
no subject
I don't know. I haven't actually tried it myself. But it always seems to help people on television, so there's got to be some grain of truth there.
[She gives a little shrug.]
If you decide that's something you want to try out, though, I could probably find a class for us to go to or something.
