[Not too far from Fort Alhambra is Interitus. In a long trail torn through the ground. Apparently Volya's escape was one that lacked quite a bit of grace. Not too far from the plant creature itself was Volya, shaking heavily as he cried. Clearly hearing David scream out in pain like that was quite a bit too much for him to handle. Even if David was trying to kill him, a small part of Volya still saw him as a friend. He still remembered the good times back home before all of this. Everything hurt, between the hits Interitus took and the strain he felt from everything he was too out of it to notice if anyone had arrived. Interitus on the other hand did and looked to them, whining softly. Clearly she was unable to get Volya out of this state.]

[Sarah hops down into the trench Interitus's crash has dug through the ground. A simple but elegant chinese sword, its blade undrawn, rests across her shoulders. As she draws closer, the smile fades from her face.]
...I'm not interrupting something, am I?

..S...Sarah... I..
[Volya coughs weakly.]
Is... everyone okay?

[She sits down crosslegged near Volya, resting the sword to her left. As she sets it down, it's easy enough to see a new stretch of bandages along her right arm and hand.]
You did good.

[He looked away when he caught sight of the bandages. He could almost here that taunting little voice that was so familiar in Lilica's Zone of Absolute Despair going 'Your fault~' in its poisonous sing song tone of cruelty.]
...I don't feel like I did...

[Sarah holds up her hand, looking it over.] What, this? Don't worry, I'm tougher than I look. It's basically like a papercut.
[She puts it down, and looks back at him.]
...It's David that's got you down, isn't it.

[He flinches a little. He still remembers just how much pain was in those screams.]
...I didn't want to hurt him Sarah... not like that or... or even at all!

But if you stay out here like this all night, you're going to get pretty cold and hungry. Let's get you a hot shower and something to eat, alright?
[Sarah stands up, extending a hand down towards Volya.]
From:

[But he wouldn't really argue against a hot shower and food as he reaches out and holds onto Sarah's hand.]
Was it Jacob's dad you're talking about? That Percy guy?

[She picks up her sword in her free hand, resting it across her shoulders. Interitus gets a nod to follow.]
Percival and I never fought like that until...well, until you came along. But I don't think we'll be fighting each other again. Violence can be like a game for our kind of people, but we never duked it out like that before.
[She walks in silence for a while.]
Her name was Lien Xiaohui...Her change was different from David's. Slower. Calmer, at first, though it didn't last.
...When it comes down to it, I don't think anyone will blame you if you hurt him or kill him. He's done his best to throw away whatever bond of friendship you had. You just have to make the choice that, in the end, you'll be happy with. One you can defend, if someone else objects to it. A choice you can believe in.

I would... even if... even if he chose to do that... I don't know if I'd ever be able to forgive myself for it...
Even if he's done all of this... I...
[He bites his lip nervously.]
I know that people have to kill... I know you, Mizuki, Ken, Dido... a lot of people had to make that choice... Flit's a year older than me and he's already....
[He almost stumbles but manages to regain his footing.]
But I can't... I... I don't think I can... not even if its someone terrible...

...Ah, sorry, I'm not good at this. Want me to fix up some pork steak? That's a lot easier than advice.

[He sighs before looking up at Sarah.]
I'd like that... can I watch you cook it?
