And now, with one life saved, his own in the balance, and one at death's door, who wouldn't crack under the pressure?

But he was a Kying. And Kying don't crack.

He had a plan. But he had to do it before sundown and before his Aura went into the red zone from his back. Deryn might not like it, but he knew just what to say. She was going to die if he didn't do something. And, despite all her anger, he knew, deep down, she wouldn't pull the trigger.

He place a hand on Deryn's shoulder, gently removing her foot from Natsu while turning her around to face him.

"Deryn," Amet spoke softly, "I can understand your need for vengeance.  Because I need my own.  And I understand your longing to kill this woman.  She killed someone you loved, so why not do the same? I understand...because I need to do that.  I have my family to find...

"But I also know that somewhere, deep down, you won't pull that trigger.  I know you still want to find out more.  Your insaciable hunger and lust for those answers drive you forward, where your will cannot carry you.  And...that, too, applies to me..."

Amet paused, looking into the faunus's eyes.

So much hurt. Unintentional pain. They were very haunted, indeed, and brimming with hate and resentment. But deep down, in that abyss of darkness, he saw a single flash of light in her. He held onto that light. For that reason, he'd make sure she'd get her answers.

Amet knelt down to her level, so they could see eye-to-eye, and cast his own equally haunted eyes to meet hers - dropping his voice down to a whisper, almost.

"Please, understand what i'm about to do.  Understand, that if I don't do this, You won't have answers for a long time.  You might ask, 'How do you know, Amet?' Because...because I killed the last man who talked about the Kying to me, and that years ago..."

And with that, Amet dropped to his knees and began to frantically save Natsu's life.
