"Sometimes... a woman prefers to keep secrets. This is merely an advice, Sir Urdin: Be wary of women like me. We are skilled deceivers. ...Is what I would've said. As I consider you one of the few that I may be able to trust with a secret... then listen well. I will only speak once." the Elder cleared her throat, preparing to reveal a key aspect of her past... maybe.

"Ever since I've wielded a sword, my life was but misery after misery. My master is perhaps the most cruel being in all of Remnant, and that may not even be an exaggeration. Though a master of the sword, the lessons were... hell on earth. Me and Arya... we would not have the will to continue on if not for each other. As a consequence of my training... here I am, your cruel and near-heartless superior. Perhaps the only thing separating me from a mass murderer is my self-control." she paused, clenching her left hand before continuing. "Since I touched a sword, I was only taught one thing: To kill any that dares to oppose me. But... I never obeyed that. I..." Melira closed her eyes.

"I have killed hundreds of innocents. A human may only kill once, so be it. But as your murder count increases, it becomes easier. Yes... it becomes less restraining the more you would end the life of others... But never delude yourself. If you hesitate, people will take advantage of you. Your skills are honed for those that are justice and right, I can never change that. But... I want you to at least believe this one single phrase:" she opened her eyes, looking Urdin eye-to-eye. Deep in her eyes, a powerful emotion resonates. She was clearly serious this time.

"Never hesitate, because if you hesitate, you will lose everything that you've worked for. Everything that you strived to protect. All of it... will be lost. If you must kill thousands to save millions, so be it. Ideals that everbody can be saved does not exist in this world. Human, Faunus, Grimm... We are all killing machines bred to put each other into oblivion. I am Melira Goldstein, the one who hesitated and lost everything... even my best friend."

Aki scratched his head as Zaffre greeted him. Black also came by, but didn't say anything so he responded to Zaffre first.

"Yo. So if I guess correctly, you're actually Zaffre.... right?" he asked in return. "Zaffre... isnt exactly a weapon sounding name, eh?"
