When Luke yelled Rosie's eyes widened, and her cheeks flushed pink, though she kept her mouth shut tightly. Hearing this stung, hearing that he had been flying to them, and that he didn't really care, and that he wanted to leave forever was so, so hard. But she thought back, even just a little and she knew it couldn't be true. Sera had asked the right questions, why was he doing this.
"No." Rosie repeated. Taking a step forward. "No, you're not, the only time you've ever lied to us is right now." Rosie frowned, drawing in a sharp breath and stepping forward again "A selfish person doesn't run all the way from Camphoreon to Sagestone when he heard his friends were in trouble. A coward doesn't try and face a life threatening condition alone. He doesn't spend time and energy learning how to protect people, or take a bullet, go out of his way for his friends and open up to them." Rosie lowered her hands "Someone who doesn't care doesn't loose sleep! Or stands up to a Rocket, or gives even CLOSE to the kind of effort you have given into everything you do!" "Liar, coward, selfish" She couldn't take another step forward without invading his personal space, "No, Luke." She repeated "That is not who you are." She was not yelling, by any stretch of the imagination, but she wasn't playing around with this either.

With the tense atmosphere mostly diffused, Sera's anger similarly dissipated into (sort of) quiet observation. So that was it. "Luke, s**t happens all the time, and s**t would continue to happen whether you're here or not. And don't try to say it's all your fault, either," because that's what it had sounded like when he said someone will get hurt if he stayed, "cuz it's not. And don't even try to tell me otherwise," she said in accusing tones, even going so far as to point at him (sort of) menacingly. "We want you to stay. If more s**t happens, which it's probably gonna, we'd much rather you be here to deal with it with us instead of dealing with it without you."

"I needed that..." Rosie's face fell. "I needed it, I believed it, For everything that I try to keep up in others to help, to hope, then to have someone else tell me that there are things to look forward to... that no matter how hard things are or how much darkness we have to experience in the world that there will always be something better, becasue there will always be those good people in our lives." A great deal of sadness rushed over her at his words, at his loss of faith in something he had given her, that had meant so much. She took in a silent shaky breath.
"I don't know what you're talking about, Why you keep insisting that you hurt people, or that you've never protected anyone. Luke I don't know what to say to that, If you want to make a flow chart, then fine, I'll come back with a list of people that you've helped by the things you've said, and done." She seemed to stumble around her words, obviously upset and trying to make things clear. "We're in a war! We're trying to stand up to a great number of people who have shown that they have no regard for anyone, people who will willingly hurt others without remorse, or without regret. People who won't stop and reflect on what they've done and stand here, trying to convince people to forget about them and leave! because of remorse" She threw a hand back, gesturing toward the city. "You are a GOOD person, Someone who feels the impact of decisions, someone who is forced to struggle with right and wrong when bad people force situations that we should never have to deal with. but we HAVE to, becasue we care, becasue you care."
She paused for a moment, letting herself catch her breath, her face flushed, tired, but set Luke with a very troubled, and serious expression, despite the tears she blinked out of her eyes. "All we have is the few good people who want to make a difference. If you want to leave, if you really want to leave then none of us can blame you. But if you do then we're going to suffer, because there are not many good people like you, and I can't think of a worse tragedy then watching you lose your hope in something better."

As Rosie spoke, Sera stayed quiet; the blonde was much better at this sort of thing, in her opinion, but it was becoming clearer that maybe that wasn't helping as much as she thought it was. Nothing was fixed yet, the situation wasn't better, and to top it all off, the boat was leaving soon. At least Luke hadn't up and tried to leave for it yet, though, so that was at least one point in their favor. "If you don't want to leave, then you already have your answer right there -- don't leave," the brunette said. "But there's one thing you're forgetting - both of you are forgetting - and that is that we're each just one person, and none of us can single-handedly save the entire island. That sort of thinking is just dumb and ridiculous. The only way to handle this shitty situation," she didn't want to call it a war like Rosie had, "is in a group. And we're not a group if any of us leave. If you leave, then you're only hurting it further because that's one less person actively fighting to keep it safe," she pointed out.
