Thread: flectere si nequeo superos, Acheronta movebo (NoxRogue)

RE Flectere Si Equeo Superos, Achaeronta Movebo NoxRogue The size of the city was massive intimidating to say the least. Liliana wasnt exactly sure what she had been expecting but this had certainly not been it. Her eyes wandered around the scenery, studying the guards and the bustling people littered about the streets. The single largest city she had ever seen, hands down, was the one that loomed before her, almost ominously. Of course it felt ominous because she knew this city held secrets. The secrets to several years of suffering and searching. The secrets required to end their time together Shed be happy for him to have his sister. To meet his sister once more and right the things that had been wronged in the past with the two of them. As he finally admitted he would get them lost, she took the reigns, stepping in front of him and beginning to lead the way through the winding city. She genuinely wondered how the sunlight ever reached the ground here. Her steps were quick, and swift, although she was sure not to lose her companion, and within twenty minutes of walking, they finally reached the core of the city. She mused around the setting. The fountain was beautiful, and the iridescent glow that the water caused had only further stalled her. In her travels, naturally Liliana had seen millions of beautiful things, but this had easily capped it. She was in awe, until of course, her mind jumped to the Militia headquarters. She chewed nervously on her lower lip before moving into the building. If there was one thing she could give to Yuri, it was the fact that he had refused to let her give up on her brother. Had refused to let her accept something she was sure her mind had known fueled the hope in her heart because he knew more than anything that she needed it. She needed that little peace of mind. Liliana made her way to the counter, her eyes locked onto the elderly woman there and stood quietly ad the counter before she was recognized. She offered a smile, shaky in nature before parting her lips to speak. My brother he joined the Militia some years ago but he never returned home I Need to know where he is if hes alive The words seemed to spill from her lips as if she were some four year old child explaining how she had broken something to her parents. She paid no mind when the woman turned around, giving her the respect of a private phone call before turning an uncertain emerald gaze to Yuri. She studied him then, from top to bottom, recalling all of the little things in the back of her mind. She was thankful to have met him to have been attacked by him that year ago. And before she could think any more about the subject. The woman turned around. Liliana tore her gaze away from her pale companion and back to the woman only to receive bad news. She felt it hit in her chest, first, tightening it before the disappointment flitted across her gaze. She offered the woman a smile and opened her mouth to thank her, only to be cut off by the voice of a man. She turned around about the same time that Yuri had and let her gaze fall onto the man who had spoken. Handsome, of course, and obviously built for the battlefield. It made her wonder what her brother would look like now if. Her thoughts were, thankfully, cut short again as the man stepped forward and shook Yuris hand, standing back and allowing the two previous friends to speak with one another. She noted the smile of the man. A smile could tell someone a lot about a person. However, she wasnt sure what she read from him. And as his eyes finally fell to her, she stood her ground and offered him a smile and a nod. However, shortly after the smile faded and a light brown arched. She wasnt entirely sure of the man was insulting her or complimenting her. Sarcasm, to say, was not something she had ever been good at pointing out. And then, Yuri spilled her story out to the man, a man he believed could help them. And if he believed it, so did she. Liliana felt his gaze on her as the job was proposed, and she offered him a curt nod. Even if she had said no, it wasnt as if he wouldnt have jumped in without her. When she had previously noted that Yuri de Elias Schiffer was a righteous man, she had not been exaggerating. He helped any and all who came to him, whether helping them benefited him or not. It was one of the things that Liliana admired most about him, although it was not something she found in herself quite as freely as he had. People had to survive, she understood, and she had to survive as well. Had it not been for him, she would not have been quite as helpful as she had been. She followed after him into the office and settled down, declining the offer of a drink. She hadnt wanted anything all it would have done was cloud her mind. She sat, listening attentively, and when they were asked of their cooperation, he didnt have to ask twice, and Yuri didnt even need to glance to her. Of course he had it.
