"Sure, You lead the way. I don't really care where we go, as long as it has some place where I can lay down.
And Hey, If there is ever some way to do so, I'll let you use my girl thingy if you let me use your thingy. It would be a fun little switcheroo."
I stand up, feeling very unsteady. That last shot of liquor must have gotten me. What have I been talking about? Oh man! I am f'ucking out of it.

"Thank... Thank you. I need a cigarette anyways." I light up as I follow Bassarov outside. "I'm very sorry I did what I did. I know how you must feel being around me, a confessed spy against you... I feel terrible..."

"I have dealt with worse. I mean, I am a pretty trusting person, perhaps trusting to a fault. But I want to believe there is good in everyone, even my enemies. But don't worry about it, I don't mind having you around. I am getting to like it actually." Bassarov looks at the darkening sky. Mischa is not back yet, but he decides not to worry.

"Th... Thank you. You don't know how much your trust means to me. I trusted Tepes and I was betrayed. I.. I just want someone I can trust..." My gaze is downcast, and I don't even notice the weather.

"It is really no problem. I wish I could help you more, but even my own life has its problems. I am not the best person for giving advice." Bassarov starts to walk down the street. "There is a park not far from here. I always feel more at peace when I am outdoors." He walks towards the park, which is vacant due to the storm clouds over head. The birch trees rock slowly in a wind that is picking up. "I like the rain. I like the smell of rain, and the feel of it." It starts to sprinkle as he speaks.

"I don't know what I feel. This is all new to me." When I think of 'Kolov' I feel cold and secluded. But when I think of Bassarov I feel... Alive?

I hear the decree of execution echo through my mind and shrug. "Well, I guess the execution of a traitor comes first."
Focusing on the location of the traitor, I open summon the kami of air and time to take me there.
I appear at the park and spot two figures, one of which I know is Zero. I step into the light, my blades still in their saya.
"Zero Amerikanski, under the order of the FRA, you are to be assassinated for treason. I am not an unreasonable man, if you are willing to surrender peacefully, I will accept your seppuku."

"I think you will catch on to all of it. It just takes time. And maybe you should just enjoy the process, since you have been reborn into a world that was once dead to you. Now you can see what it is to live. And you already know somethings...to live is to suffer, to live is to grow, and to live is the pleasure that exists between and at the end of the two." Bassarov feels much more spirited now. The rain washes down his face, pasting his dark hair to his neck and cheeks. But, it is liberation."I hope you do not mind the rain."
This thought is interupted by a man with a katana who has come to kill Zero.
Bassarov is a bit shocked and disappointed by his arrival.
He waits to see how Zero will react.

My trance is broken by the voice of the Samurai warrior who just appeared before me. "I don't recognize your authority to order me to commit seppuku!" I say angrily, my hand fast finding my pistol.

"I see... I intimidate a lot of people as well."
I lean against the wall. I am intimidated by her as well, I can understand where they feel it from. She's more human than any other master I have ever served.
An awkward silence ensues, as though I was going to say something after my initial statement. I forgot what I was talking about, lost in my own train of thought.
"I uh... Thank you for washing my clothes."

"There does not need to be unecessary bloodshed." I say. "I am a mercenary under the employ of the FRA, but I am also a samurai who serves a just cause. You have broken wa and betrayed your master. I am merely the vessel of your punishment. Do not shame yourself by resisting your kharma. Come peacefully and gain true honor in death."

I can't believe the arrogence of the warrior before me. "Yob tvoyu mat samurai! I am Ninja, I do not recognize your authority over my life!" My right hand finds my sword hilt, whilst my left tightly grips the hilt of my .45

"Remove your hand from your gun, little ninja." I say, slowly and deliberately walking forwards. "Unless you wish for me to employ this." I say, jerking my head backwards to indicate the rifle I have in a holster strapped to my back. If you will not come willingly, I challenge you to a duel, if you've the stomache for it. Your last chance to die with honor."

"I am not the one who's going to be dying, human!" The truth is that I don't want to fight right now, and I attempt to send a telepathic message to my newfound friend (Bassarov) conveying this much.

"Very well." I say. I turn to the other man (Bassarov) and bow low.
"Forgive me for interupting you, but I must do this, it is my duty. I hope you will not think unkindly of me."
I spread my legs, planting them firmly in the ground, and bring my hand above my katana.
"Whenever you are ready, we may begin." I say, an aura of ki building around my body in the form of blue fire.
