Seifer listened to Holly intently, and during her speech, a big smile grew on his face. When she turned to get up, he slowly rose, ignoring the lessened pain. He cleared his throat and spoke clearly, with only a hint of happiness in my voice.
"Wrong, love. I'm not as generous as you believe me to be. Since my, ..." At this moment, a close look into Seifer's eyes would have shown a sadness that at times would encase his entire being, thinking of the man who had meant everything to him. "father's, passing, I have only gone where I've wanted to be. It just so happens, by your side is where I want to be, from what I can tell so far." He smiled and sat back down quickly, hiding his face from Holly. "I'll need Brad in here in a bit to help me land this damn thing..." And at the last moment, he put in "Oh, and Holly, if we get the chance, I'll be more than willing to tell you more about me. If you want to hear it, that is." |

By the time Holly had turned back to face him, Seifer was already seated. "I'd love to learn more about you." She says with a grin. She places a hand gently on his shoulder. "However...by my side? My dear Seifer, we women are more difficult than you think...so be careful not to bite off more than you can chew." She says with a hint of laughter to her voice.
"I'll go fetch Mr. Desin then." With that she turned, her dark hair swaying behind her, and headed to the back of the helicopter. "Mr. Desin, your assistance is needed up in front." She announced before finding an empty wall. She walked over to it and slid to the floor, leaning against the wall. |

"Holly, wait--"
Henry weakly reached after his daughter. "She's beautiful, isn't she?" he said, turning to Jeremy, "And smart too. She's going to do great things." He groaned as he grasped his chest and lay down. "Look at her, all alone, go comfort her, I'm fine by myself." Jeremy stood, and approached the sitting girl. "Holly... I'm sorry." |

Holly looked up at Jeremy with a confused expression.
"Sorry for what?" She asks. "I'm still stuck on what I've said earlier, so..." A sly smile spread across her lips as she looked up at Jeremy, but soon faded away. |

"I'm sorry about all that's happened to you. I know that you've tried to remain neutral, and now you've been tied with the leaders of all three major factions."
He sat against the wall next to Holly. "And I know that you were close to Josiah. I grew close to him myself when he was one of our scientists. And I can only imagine what it must of felt like seeing him... tear up your father like that. The only thing I could compare it to is when he attacked Don. Even though you may not be on the best terms with him... he is still your father. What I would give to have my father be so close by..." |

Holly looked over at Jeremy as he sat next to her with a raised eyebrow. She was about to say something sarcastic like she usually would, but closed her eyes and took in a deep breath.
"I'm 'neutral' because of my beliefs. I didn't chose sides because I didn't think any of them were absolute. Not because I thought they were completely wrong. However, with them pointing fingers at each other...people need to be on the outside of the situation and bang their heads together. I do not believe the people in charge are bad people, yes, unfortunately, I mean Alden as well...However...its easy to paint yourself as a bad person to people who don't share your views...and people need to be there to try and keep that from happening, is all." She brought her eyes up to meet Jeremy's. "We're human, so we're all screw-ups...but when you're a wealthy and powerful screw-up, that can lead to all kinds of issues...hence all the battling going on between factions. I chose not to be involved in that. By claiming neutrality, I can form honest opinions of each and pull the good from each." Damn she thought to herself, as she sat back and blinked a few times. She had never been able to put anything to words like that...nor had she ever considered it. Up until this point, she always just acted upon impulse, not always understanding why. I think I'm starting to get it... she thought, as her mind raced to the many other things she usually kept locked in the back of her mind. "As far as Josiah goes, Jeremy, I fortunately didn't get the chance to be as close to him as others had. It was more the timing in which I had met him and how he acted during our friendship that made me trust him as much as I did." She tilted her head slightly in Henry's direction. "Pencil pushers are important too, ya know...so...he stays at the base." She says with a matter-of-fact tone to her voice. Both of them can't leave... she thought to herself ruefully. |

"No. I know how you feel in this situation. You are just avoiding confronting your father. I felt the same way about my brother. But instead of just sitting down and talking to him about it, I ran away."
He nervously ran his hand through his short black hair. "That was easily the worst mistake of my life. I spent all of my days regretting that, and avoiding my brother. Ever since the death of our parents we're the only people we have left. And I just threw that away because I was afraid to talk to him. I may not agree with his tactics, but he's still my brother, and I love him." |

Holly softly bit her lip to restrain herself from any sarcastic remarks. In a way, she couldn't help but understand Jeremy a bit. However, one thing Holly didn't do well was wear certain emotions on her sleeve. She had always blamed her father for that one though, but now...I rebelled against him on mostly everything else... she thought, casting a sideways glance in his direction. I could have just as easily rebelled against his not accepting certain emotions... So the blame had finally shifted. In fact, not long before everything began happening, the blame was slowly shifting from her father to where it really belonged; herself.
So, rather than expressing empathy in some situations, she would cover those moments up with sarcasm. Holly took in a deep breath and held it for a few moments before slowly exhaling. She then looked over at Jeremy. "So are you saying I should talk to him?" she asks quietly. "Because even IF I do, he still is NOT going with us to fight Josiah..." |

Jeremy nodded, a small smile spreading across his face.
"Yes." |

She cringed. "I should've known you were going to say that if I gave you the option to..." she mumbled. She made a very slight motion to get up, but suddenly hesitated. She looked over at Jeremy and narrowed her light blue eyes into a glare. "Damn you." She muttered as she quickly rose to her feet and stormed over to the man who was slumped against the other wall. She glanced around at the rest of the people in the chopper and grimaced.
"You're going back to the Marinae base once we've finished with what we gotta do in Michigan." She says gruffly. |

"Holly, come back with me. You can stay in your own apartment, and we can start to spend time together again."
He tried to stand, but sat back down halfway. "I've missed you so much, and I'm sorry about the way I treated you after your mother... passed away." |

Or about the way you treated her while she was alive?
The statement was on her mind. She wanted to say it so badly, but refrained from doing so. "Don't stand, just stay there." Was all the could reply with at first. She positioned herself so that she was sitting up on her knees, hands folded on her lap and eyes to the ground. She didn't know what else to say to him. Of course she wasn't going to just sit back and agree. Living on one of the Marinae bases didn't suit her interests. Maybe I'm being the selfish one now... she thought. "We'll talk once this is all over about that...and..." She took in a deep breath. "I'll strongly consider it." She says finally. "But you're still not going with us..." |

"Thank you Holly. That alone has made my day worthwhile."
He clutched his chest. "Are we almost there? I don't think the high altitude is doing anything good for my heart." |

When Henry grabbed his chest, for what must have been the twentieth time since they were flying, Holly stiffened up to hide her nervousness. No matter how angry at him she ever got, of course she wouldn't want anything happening to him!
"Mr. Desin said that we should be there in about fifteen minutes...oh...about..." She cocked her head to the right and peered over at Brad. "fifteen minutes ago?" |

Brad began to climb forward into the cockpit, saying, "I'm not going to the Marinae after this." He said, "I'm not their ally, and they are mot certainly not mine."
He sat himself in the pilot's seat, unlocked the controls, and spoke. "Alright Seifer, tell me where to go. While you're at it, where's a nearby store? I don't have anything that I can get except for the clothes on my back...and this shard." Now that he thought about it, Brad wished the shards had never been created. The world was stable back before the shards, not peaceful, but much more stable. He didn't have to worry about people like Jeremy, or like the various factions. |

"Where we are going there are no stores. Lansing was destroyed in the chaos, but there is a refugee commune. It basically works like communism, where there is no money, but if you need goods, you do work for the community and it takes care of you. While we're resting up, most of us are going to have to all take up some duties."
Seifer pulled out the computerized guiding map system and marked the coordinates. He then shut it and looked out deep through the window. "There's a flat patch of land in the middle of the woods bordering my property. We'll land there." |

(posting so one of you two, Vulkar, or Cairoi can have this thing landed. **is sick of being in a helicopter** I think I spent most of this RP in one...)
Holly relaxed as Brad went to the cockpit. She sat against the wall and closed her eyes. "We'll land soon Henry." She announces. "So just hang in there." |

Brad gabbed the controls, and sent the helicopter over the field, brought it to a hover, and slowly lowered it to the ground. The doors popped open, and Brad stepped out.
"We're here, where are we going?" |

Holly sprang to her feet once the helicopter had landed. She looked around at everyone and gave a sheepish grin.
"Been going a bit stir crazy on this thing..." She let out a sigh as she crouched down yet again and slowly lifted her father up to his feet. She casted a glance in Jeremy's direction and smiled. "Shall we?" She says as she gestures with her free arm toward the exit. |

Jeremy got under Henry's other arm and helped Holly carry him down the short ramp. As they reached the bottom a familiar voice was heard behind them.
"Here, let me help you with that." A large hand reached down as Eric picked up Henry and held him easily between his arms. |
