Marain's head was tilted down one more, her hat blocking her face as she bit her lip.

He was crying.

She didn't like seeing people cry. She didn't know what to do to stop it, though. So she continued to bite her lip, feeling just a bit useless. She couldn't feel like that though, she realized. If she really wanted to help him, she needed to show she was capable of doing so. So instead, she forced herself to stop biting her lip and look up, a blank face present as  she listened intently to what Asper had to say.

"...Why?" she finally asked as he finished talking.

It was a broad question, she realized, so she emphasized her meaning somemore.

"To protect your lover...you left her? That's...stupid. If you wanted to protect her, you should have stayed closer to make sure nothing happened. Then no one would be hurt."

She leaned in just a bit closer, her face a few inches from his own as her eyes continued to hold that commanding gaze.

"Especially you."

In what she assumed was further his guilt, he was the one that came out most damaged out of whatever happened. He didn't want to talk about his crimes, after all. She hopped off her rock, the landing jolting her feet just a bit. Curse her small stature...

She twirled Jetsam in her hand, before lifting the end portion and smacking the top of Asper's head with it. A good smack brought someone to their senses, as she's learned. She knew what to do now, but she needed to know if he knew what to do. So, she looked up at him, her eyes holding a bit of expectancy towards her unasked question.
