[Darth Revan]

((After getting a better definition, I edited this post. ))

The Director swallows cartoonishly and begins smacking his lips as he rubs the top of his mouth with his tongue. He does this for a full five seconds before nodding and saying, "Yep, he's from your future alright." He then looks into the non-existant distance as he comments as though he were gauging a fine wine, "Although, there's something missing from him. He's not entirely ripe yet. Something has yet to happen in his past to anchor his existence. He's still in flux." he looks to the female, "You however, you're ripe, just in transition." He smiled and clapped his hands, "I got it! His existence depends on something you do! Fantastic! I will say this though, You've got one helluva decision. But as they say, well, as I say, 'Needs of the many outwiegh the needs of the few.'"

Elayne stared at the Director, her expression still one of startled anger. Then she spoke. "Are you suggesting I should go to Earth and rectify this?" she asked, her tone possessing a definite edge as she rubbed the sore spot on her scalp. "At the expense of this boy? How can we know that his life doesn't outweigh all of those -- who knows what he might do in his future? I don't think you really know anything about the situation," she frowned, dropping her hand from her head and crossing her arms across her chest.

Silver had been about to tell Asda no once more, when Parker had answered for her. She had thought that he would insist she take it easy, but he had agreed with her. She tilted her head curiously at him and then he made the guarantee to make sure nothing would ever hurt her and she gave him a tender smile. When Asda left she looked up at him as she tried to stand up slowly, wincing slightly. "So tell me, why did you agree with me instead of Asda?" she asked him curiously.

Parker ****ed his head back, a little surprised by the question. After a moment, he relaxes his neck and answers, "You're a grown woman, a fighter, a survivor. If we didn't learn to walk on bruises, we wouldn't be alive. Don't get me wrong, I'd carry you in a second if it meant not seeing you in pain; but that wouldn't help you. It would only weaken you; and I didn't fa-uhm." Parker twisted his head to the side momentarily and looked back in her eyes, "I wouldn't want that to happen to you."

[Midnight_Huntress]

She hadn't missed where he had changed the sentence, but she didn't push it. She got to a standing position and took a couple steps before swaying a little. "I need to get inside and see what all is going to happen next." she told him. She would have put up a hologram or a glamour to hide the fact that she had been injured, but she didn't have the strength to do so. "Help me get outside?" she asked biting her lower lip in a smile, she was still new to the ship so she didn't know the directions and places just yet. "I just need a little support and a guide." she smiled.

[Darth Revan]

Parker smiled, he grabbed his helmet and secured it over his head again, "You never know what's going on inside there. He held out his arm and leveled it to where she could lean on it like a crutch or a cane. If he had wrapped her arm around his neck, he'd end up lifting her in the air as they walked, so he just offered his arm.

[Midnight_Huntress]

"Very true." she placed her hand on his armand began to walk. She was slower than her usual pace, with a slight limp - that caused her to wince visibly - but otherwise she was doing a little better. "My first time there, someone gets shot, I find my father, I also find a very caring man. Never know what'll happen." she smiled.

[Darth Revan]

Parker only smiled as he matched her pace. He responded only by saying, "Yeah."

"A caring man." Those were her words, "A caring man." Parker furroughed his brow at those words. Not too long ago, he was being called "Demon", "Killing Machine", "Freaks of Nature", "The Perfect Soldier". Sure he felt empathy for his human targets in the past. He didn't exactly enjoy killing his targets; save The Covenant, he enjoyed those missions greatly. He had not once been called "A caring man", Parker knew something inside of him was changing, and it was all because of her, because of Artemis. This goddess had awoken something inside of him, and he wasn't entirely sure he liked it. All he did know is that he enjoyed being with her.

[Midnight_Huntress]

She continued to walk, now concentrating on not falling. She got to the end of one section and frowned. "Umm...which way?" she asked Parker.

[Darth Revan]

Parker answered, "Umm... down these stairs." He pointed to the left where the stairs that led to the outer hatch. "Should I go in front of you, or would you rather have me behind you?"

[Midnight_Huntress]

"It doesn't matter to me. Which would you prefer?" she asked.

[Darth Revan]

Parker stood for a moment and said, "In front, that way I can stop you if you begin to fall forward."

Corliss shrugs.  "You could have a home again, if you wanted one," he replies to Terenia.  "I don't know how many of us can really go back to some vestige of a normal life after all this, but I'd like to think that some of us can.  Why else would you be so desperate to help your sister?  She must be one of the last remnants of your real home, your family, that you've got.  And I really don't take you for much of a rebel recruit, so I'll spare you the pamphlet--not to mention we could hardly trust you--but perhaps, if you found a host who agreed to your presence, you could find a temporary home with us.  With the rebellion."  He sighs.  "I know I wasn't too amenable to it earlier, and the choice may not entirely be yours or even mine to make.  But consider it at least a remote possibility."

[Midnight_Huntress]

She nodded and let him down a couplestairs before placing her hand on his shoulder for guidance and a little support on the way down the stairs.

[Darth Revan]

Parker led the way down the stairs and helped her out of the ship. He hesistated when they reached the front door. He nodded to her encouraging her to go on her own. Mostly to show her true strength to those inside, but also 'cause they wouldn't fit together.
