Armored Core: The Final Push (Paused)

[Randomly Gone Insane]

Kelly looked back at him dully, before giving a light scoff, looking away.

"So.. Will you at least stay?" Kelly sighed, looking at Jarid.  

[Zahzi]

"...An odd question to ask.."  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"Will you stay, or will you run?"  

[Zahzi]

Jarid was just silent..  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"Jarid. Answer me." Kelly growled, a bit annoyed.  

[Zahzi]

"Do I even have a choice..?"  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"Not really. But I would like to know if I should keep my guard up or not."  

[Zahzi]

After a minute, Jarid just gave another defeated sigh.
"...No...I will stay..."  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"Good." Kelly let out a tired sigh.

"Finally."  

[Zahzi]

"Now will you tell me why they are unhappy with me having this Music Box?"  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"I told you. They're just mad I was the only one who actually got something you liked."  

[Zahzi]

"I need to be able to trust you, Kelly.."  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

Kelly let out a heavy and defeated sigh.

"It was my old music box, which in turn belonged to my mother." She answered with a grunt.  

[Zahzi]

Jarid was silent..
He stared down at the music box now, as if examining it one last time.  

[Randomly Gone Insane]

"But it's yours now." Kelly sighed, noticing how Jarid looked at it.

"It means nothing to me anyhow."
