It had been quiet since Raven left. No one else really showed up, at least none that also came to look for Vix. Not that she would have noticed. Nor Scrafty, considering how he felt he had to look over the Chandelure. Even then, Vix always managed to vanish and pop up somewhere else, leaving...

"Keepin' balance, huh..." Vix's Shadow muttered, then some of it moved into a shrug. "That's also kinda part of bein' a hero, funnily enough. But hell if I know, honestly." Vix might not be the most skilled empath, or one at all, but she could very faintly feel that some uncertainty remained in...

"You would be surprised the level of bad things a hero can do in their lives. Vix's mentors both murdered several bands of bandits that were tormentin' her village, then went to repair a dungeon before it went to shit and spread across the country," Vix's shadow said nonchalantly. Vix winced...

"Yeah, so did I..." Vix's Shadow spoke, its voice soft and understanding. Strangely enough, that's the same thing Vix herself thought to say... "It's been ages but... I still remember it like it just happened. And Vix knows about it too, even if she's hidin' it from herself. If she'd just...

"O-Of course not," Vix said, although her voice was more uncertain than sure. "I don't know a lot about Nip, but I know he wouldn't have been chosen by Diyem if he wasn't a hero in some way himself. I wouldn't have a reason to... t-to kill him." Her flame flickered again, nearly going out...

Would she? Vix... didn't know. She wanted to say she wouldn't have tried to kill them, that she wouldn't have killed anyone. That's not who she was, she wasn't a killer, she was... she was supposed to be a hero. But she wasn't, was she..? She had killed before, right? As much as she tried to...

"Wh-What? I didn't, I-I never..." Vix floated back, her anger briefly faltering for confusion and fear. Her Shadow's writhing started to simmer down, and her flame flickered an dimmed for a moment before rising back up. "I-I didn't, I mean, I wasn't going to kill anyone! I would never try to...

"I say that I'm doing good things because I fucking am!" Vix hissed, floating up to Nip's Shadow. It picked just the words to get under her skin. "I have done nothing but try to help everyone since the day I got here, even when nobody gave a shit about me! I've nearly died so many times, and...

Vix glared at Nip's shadow, her shadows burning off her body. This thing was really accusing her of being some... mindless brute that puts strength first? She had half a mind to blast that coward to bits for thinking so little of her! "Like hell you know a goddamn thing about me! I'm not some...

"Gee, I wonder if anyone else is goin' through the same shit here," Vix's Shadow grumbled, shooting Vix a sideways glance and waiting for her to notice. When she didn't, it grumbled and writhed irritably again. Vix didn't pay the Shadows any mind, instead resting her gaze on Nip. Reading people...

Fair enough, if a bit of a throwaway answer just so someone could get away from someone else. Something about that stung enough for Vix to try and press further. "Alright, then why's your shadow acting like more of a bitch than usual?" Vix huffed, crossing her arms. "Not that I didn't expect...

"Yeah... I guess." It felt pretty obvious that Nip wasn't all that comfortable, for whatever fucking reason. Maybe something really was fucked, and Vix herself could actually fix it this time and feel useful for once. "If nothing's wrong then why do you look like you're being held hostage? I...

There was someone else here? Really? Was she just no longer allowed to be alone anymore? At first everyone fucking ignored her, and now everyone wants to check up on her?! "Yeah, what is it?" Vix snapped her head towards whoever it was. It was Nip, apparently. The one who ran for help. "Yeah...

The further from everyone else Vix went, the better she told herself she felt. They didn't need her during that fight, so why would they want her? And if they didn't want her, why would she want to be with them? They could keep their mushy group hugs to themselves for all Vix cared. Being alone...
