“Please try. She needs her entire focus on her job right now, I don't think either of us want her to get hurt again.” |

"I am not certain if she has gone to work." Peach paused, as if studying him. "Why would you want to take the pain, though? The accident was not your fault and would have happened even if you were not there. Doesn't Mrs. Jara have that scar? I have not seen her, but I hear people mention her, and I know that she is Miss Clio from a future timeline." |

He sighed. “Even if she is my future wife, there has been events that change all that. Our interaction was moved ahead several months, maybe during those months she got the scar and never was able to get it healed in time. Maybe she wears it as a reminder of her weakness and it empowers her.” Zerna said. “As to why I would take the pain... It's really quite simple really...” he paused with a smile. “I think I love her and you don't want those who you love to be in pain. So if I can take on the pain for her, I will do so with a smile on my face.” |

"Why have you not told her that you feel this way? She has been very depressed, thinking that you do not share her affection." |

“Oh but I have shown it. When you have pulled the pain away and put it on me. Ask her about what I did. I bet you will make her blush.” |

"I already know that you kissed her. But before that she did not know how you felt and thought that you were pushing her away because you do not like her." |

“Because I was afraid.” Zerna simply answered. |

"That is a silly reason. Don't you think she's afraid too? You act like you are the only one who has ever had a relationship fail in such a spectacular manner. I know she told you about being psychically bonded to someone a very long time ago, someone who did not respect their bond and left her. She has not had a serious relationship since that, and it was many years ago." |

He actually laughed. “Of course not. But that doesn't mean that my fear that I will ones again lose another because of my social and emotional incompetence. Besides, up until resiliently, I have been hoping myself and Selene would patch things up, but she made it clear that she just want to stay friends.” |

"I did not say that your fear should just go away, just that you should acknowledge hers as well. She is not nearly as invincible as you seem to perceive her to be. Rather, she is quite fragile, like yourself." |

“Of course she is. She is a woman,” he held up his hands. “I am not saying she is weak, quite the opposite. But women have been more of the thinkers in my experience and thinkers often are more... exposed. But I thank you for your tries. But I want things to go slow, jumping at her just because she 'might' be my future wife is not the right way to do it.” he looked out in the darkness again. “Have you tried the pain thing yet? And don't forget to mention the kiss and observe her reaction. Might be an interesting lesson.” |

"So don't jump at her. You can still show her more affection than you currently do, considering that you hardly show any at all. Also, if I try the pain thing now, she will perceive you. I do not know if she will be happy about that." |

“I will... Hide my self for you, lessen my brain activity though deep meditation.” he sighed. “Give me ten seconds, they you can try.” he closed his eyes again, starting to breath deep and just like that he was marly a shadow. |

"Very clever. Clio has done that to me before." Amused by Zerna's ability to simply fade into the dark, Peach imposed a filter over his shadowy presence, helping to conceal him before she reached out to Clio as well. "Go away, Peach." "No. I want to help you. Please let me." There was a long pause before Clio deigned to respond again, with a heavy mental sigh and a tone that denoted an eye roll as well. "I really don't think you can--" There was another slight pause as a bitter emotion ran through the mental link. "Zerna, what the hell are you doing with my ship? Thinking you can hide from me, like I don't know that trick!" Peach sighed at her. "I invited him. Be nice or I will embarrass you in front of him. Now come 'inside' and talk to us. Nicely." |

"...I don't think I like that idea." Clio resisted Peach's insistent pull, and quite suddenly the young bioship yanked her into the 'meld', dumping her into the same room where Zerna was hidden. "Hey wait a minute, you're not supposed to be able to do that..." "Just because you are unaware of my own mental abilities does not mean they do not exist. The two of you need to talk." |
