"No," Terren said, "Well, just the way you talk about your parents... I don't understand. My parents disowned me and I still wish I could find them. I've never wished harm on them." He grew silent. He didn't want to make Seaheart angry, but it seemed to Tarren that his attitude was rather unexplainable, or at least unexplained.

He kept his eyes closed and said "Disowned? My parents? Hm. They didn't evne love me. They may have said it but they didn't. And you know what? They wanted me as a weapon. The weapon? Chaos. But they were afraid. So they wanted to send me to the government. Bur I didn't know. So I cried, and threw my fit. But in the end? The death of over 3 million, state wiped out. What else? They were dead, and I almost cried. But I didn't because it seemed what got me into the situation. I haven't cried since. Oh, and don't mention this to Vanden, if you may. Then he's gonna htink he has to be nice because of my damned parents." He said flipping through the pages of a book, not looking up.
He then answered Amberly's question. "I don't know. Well...OK. I may. There was a girl named Utada and she....she hated me. But it seems she took something- a dark being- from YUna. The being known as Queen probaly did it. Lost all her memory. So when I went to exorcise little Queen from Utada, then I found out about the amnesia. Happy?"

Amberly listened quietly as Seaheart or rather Sea to her, finally was opening up. Wait.. he opened up... To two people? The weather must have change his mood. Letting out a sigh, she could only think about not loving her parents. Even though her parents hid her from the town, until a few things happened. People thought she was some kind of witch or something with the healing powers. Wanted by some, and others thought she was something else. Her life was an easy compared to these two, suddenly she decided that she wouldn't tell Vanden about this. He didnt need to know anything.

"Well," Terren said, "I just don't understand. I guess it's because I didn't go through it." Terren wondered how anyone's parents could be so uncaring and calloused. He decided it might be better if he went back to sitting silently.

Seaheart shook his head "Not many do go through it. It was only at age 7. Before that, they homeschooled me. Afraid of Chaos again. " It's OK. Don't feel sorry for me. Sorry doesn't help. Don't feel you have to treat me different. Because of them....much as I hate them....OK. Because of them I guess nothign good really came out. Technicaly, now no one's loved me at all. I have no friends. Every day, I can't be sure if it'll just be training, or maybe getting killed. I kill people to get stronger because I'm the guardian of the person who will save the world....OK. So because of them, my life virtually sucks. But.....I'm strong and I've made it without them. They thought Chaos couldn't be kept under control? Too bad. At least I can take some fragments of happiness I proved them wrong." He said with a slight grin on his face.

"You know Sea...." Amberly sat up straight in her chair and turned looking at him. She didn't feel sorry for him, but he'd gone through alot. What's done was done and now is the present. "A life without friends really isn't a life. I think that's whats wrong with you. Your so headstrong about getting stronger, but I think it would be good for you to have a friend. To talk to about things that's troubling you. See what it's done for you so far? Me and Terren is still sitting here aren't we?"
Amberly knew if she ever wanted to be his friend, she needed to accept him as who he was. Not try to change him. Her tactics would work sooner or later. Or so she hoped.

Seaheart looked at her and grunted. "My life will never be a life. It will merely be an existence. Just as my heart will never be whole, no matter if love or friends come into it. Here's a question. Why are you staaying here? To change me? To satisfy your curiosity about me? OR because you want to be a friend. And troubles? Nothing troubles me. And what has it done for me so far? Got me to talk? I've never had a friend, and it seems by beign myself, I can't have one. It's fine by me. Seaheart can't make a friend. But maybe when Seaheart finishes his duty, he can go back to being.....Twilk. For now....I will resume my tactics and I don't think I can really change them. Friends or no friends, what difference does it make?" He said in his usual bland, indiffrent voice. "I didn't have friends at HCIG. There, I was too weak, here I am too powerful. So what still makes you have an idea that someone would want me as their friend. You have to realize, the only one whoever liked me....was Yuna, and she loved me. That's it. Never been liked or loved by anyone else. So, anything else?" He said leaning back, and propping his feet up, closing his eyes again. So he seemed cruel. He was just being logical, and tellign life the way it had been. Nothign to it. And for that? People hated him and most likely, Terran or Amberly would have an outrage that when someone was being sensitive, he acted cruel, or just give up on him and walk away. If they kept trying, it'd be quite amusing.

Amberly shook her head slightly listening to his speech about never having a real life. What was he saying. Everyone has a reason to live, if only it wasn't so hard for him to realize that someone was actually trying to be his friend.
'I always try to find good in people... but he's making it so hard. I'm fighting a loosing battle right now... just walk away. No, I can't...but.'
"I can't beleive you Sea. The first time I met you in the danger room, I just thought you were a hotshot, conceited... but now I see otherwise. Your just a rock. You've got to crack sooner or later and realize life isn't all about fighting. Life is only what you make of it, but if you let someone in your life, you might find it worth living." Amberly got up from her chair, crossing her arms in front of her.
'This dude has a really hard head.' She shook her head for a moment before turning around to meet his closed eyes.
"You know... Maybe I was trying to be your friend..... Everyone deserves a chance..." With that, she turned on her heels and walked away from him. It was useless. Maybe Vanden was right. It probably would be best to just to forget about trying being his friend.

Seaheart grinned. "So that's it? Your'e giving up? Give a little speech and walk away? So you really are like the rest. Really. I almost had a hope you were gonna be different and last longer than what....15 minutes? I almost thought you were gonna keep trying until you had me cornered. But..." He shrugged "I guess I was wrong. Oh, if I'm a rock, what are you tryign to be? Dynamite? And everyone does have some worth in living........but only if you try to live it. Can you tell if I'm trying to live or if I'm simply waiting to die? And you were TRYING. Everyone can try. It takes alot more strength to DO. But....you weren't so bad at trying." He started to get up with his eyes still closed, a toothless grin on. He knew he had cornered her this time. He loved to play games and even more, to win. He knew it was fun to see people's attempts. Sad. He almost had hoped that she could perhaps get his rock, to split off at least one little pebble. He started to walk and was at the door. He leaned against it and waited for her to reply. He then stood out of the way and said "The door is waiting for you dear. Actually...."He opened the door "It is only proper for a gentleman to hold the door for a lady."

Amberly stared at him with every disbeleif that he was trying to be this way. He's trying so hard not to give in, yet what was she suppose to do. Keep fighting. Keep argueing against him?
"Try... That's the best I've got. YOu know... I normally wouldn't give anyone as much of a chance as I have given you. Most other people would have turned their cheeks at the first smart remark you threw. I, on the other hand, didn't want to. I usually don't give up so easily, but you just don't seem like you want me as your friend. So I'm doing you a favor by giving up, you win, hear, you won the battle, the war. YOu know what, I think your wanting to die. I've never met anyone like you before. So eager to not live "
She made a gruff noise as she watched him stand in front of her, then proceeded to act like a gentleman to open the door.
"What, don't let the door hit me when I go out? Or are you going to slam it in my face?" Amberly looked him directly in the eye's, then dropped her gaze to the floor.

Terren just looked at the two and shook his head. Seaheart was very immature and he was pushing Amberly to her limits. Amberly didn't seem to want to back down, so Seaheart seemed to be pushing harder. He didn't want to be trapped in the middle of the pushing for fear he would be crushed. He got up and walked out another door from the library. He was kind of hungry, so he would go to the cafe. Amberly was fighting for a lost cause and Seaheart wasn't going to bother being found.

Seaheart listened, have hearing it all before. "Another question, why did you give me more of a chance than everyone else?" At the last comment, he swore he saw Yuna. That spunkiness.... "OK." He said slamming it in her face. He then went to the other side of the door and quickly went behind her "Listen Amberly, if you ever tell anyone that I told you what I'm about to say, I will torture your mind and make you wish for death like my parents did, then you sure as hell they won't find the body. Sure, they'd suspect me, but nothing a little memory wipe can't handle and I'd be long gone by then. Understand? Good. Now I wanted to say, and probaly never will again unless I'm probaly dying. Remeber hwo I said sorry doesn't help? I'll make an exception just this once....."
"I'm sorry.....that I think life is all about fighting. I'm sorry I'm waiting to die. I'm sorry I'm so hard-headed and stubborn. I'm sorry I think life is just a hell and really can't change. Sorry I think life is hardly worth living. Sorry I think I don't have a life. Now here's the thing Amberly.....all my life has been about fighting and gettign stronger. If I'm not hard-headed and stubborn, people will ocnvince me otherwise of what I must do.....people like you. Life to me has always been nothing but hell, I have stories to prove it, and the marks. If life is hell, what's the worth in living, eh? Now, the sooner you realize all of this the better. Or else your attempts to become my friend will fail over, and over, and over, and again, and again, and again. OK Amberly?" He said whisperign in her ear as so not anyone else could hear this. He then leaned against the wall and said "Now I don't need a thank you for saying that or a hug or anything like that. I said it because I wanted to. Now if you can come up with any other way to thank me or somehting like that, I'd really like to see it." He said closing his eyes and puttign on his toothless grin. "Oh. And sorry I hit you in the face with the door."

AMberly looked up at him once more when he started talking, but expected the one thing that she thought never would happen. He took her question to heart, literally, the door making contact with her face. A sudden shock ran down her spine as he closed the very door he slammed on her. SHe instantly put her hand up to her face from the shock of it. It didn't hurt bad, but it surprised the hell out of her. SHe nodded with everything he said. Was he being serious?
Amberly listened to his repititions of his 'sorrys'. Her thoughts on everything was just as she thought, but NEVER did she think that with the way he was, he would actually say anything. When he backed away from her and leaned against the wall, she was given the chance to speak about what he said. "I may not have much to say, but thank you for trusting me... but hitting me with the door was unexpected. I didn't mean it literally." Instantly she felt her face again, remembering the door. "I don't know what you think about it, but I consider you now an aquaintence. I won't bother you anymore about anything. Just beware, I have my ways of being nice."

Seaheart listened and said "I know you didn't mean it literally. It was really just to throw Terran off in case he decided to listen. And believe it or not, it's kinda nice to have someone bother me. It means someone acknowledges my existence. Oh......the thing is.....life with a duty was forced upon me. So for now.....life to me is a duty, so until I complete my duty, life is but a mere duty and existence. But you....you acknowledge and seem to care and be curious about it. So for now, that's enogh of a life for me. So bother me all you want, if you ever think life is a tad too boring, or if you need a reality check. Just beware, I have my ways of not being nice." He said opening his eyes to stare at her, his green eyes seeming to glow a bit.

Amberly couldn't help but smile with what he was saying. She had cracked the undestructable rock. Like he said a pebble. It wasn't much, but enough to satify her curiosity about him. "Well, I'm glad I can make your like a little bit more bareable. If you ever are in need of something to drink and an ear to lend, I'll be around."
Amberly flashed him a smile and turned around to the door and opened it. "Oh, and next time you hit me with a door. You might need my healing ability..." She walked out the door letting it close slowly. She was so invigorated with what just happened. Now to find Vanden and see what he was going to do for the rest of the night.
