The man had fled all the way to Coerthas and here he was, tucked away in some cave, shivering and pissing his pants looking down at the one-eyed Lalafell clad in black holding a sword to his heart. The young Hyur (maybe 18 at best) was weeping and Ruru stared coldly at him, a dead eyed stare that reached into the man's soul and quashed any hope for salvation.
"Please....I-I was going to pay them back...."
With a soft whisper he said a single word. "Hush."
The man froze and whimpered, not wanting to upset the lalafell but then it was too late. With a smirk, Ruru drove his blade forward, sending it deep into the man's chest. With the younbg man crumpling to the ground against the dimly lit cave wall, and visible cold gasps of air growing fainter and less constant, Ruru , leaned in and grabbed his chin with a gloved hand. "You shouldn't have taken what wasn't yours, boy."Â With eyes that seemed to be heavier by the second, the young man passed and Ruru pulled his blade out, sheathing it with the blood still on the blade. He took a moment and sighed before reaching into the man's coat and retrieving a small pouch of coins, and a key. "Stupid bastard."
That's ironic comin' from ye. Her voice echoed in the cave and as he turned, seeing her bundled in a coat, he scoffed.
"Never seen you dressed up for the cold before. You didn't need to follow me here you know. could have waited back in Limsa." He began to leave the cave, exiting into the bright sunlight and the heavy Coerthas snow. He pulled his hood up, and closing his coat he strode away from the cave toward the asrea he'd tied his Chocobo.
Well ye brought me, so's hard t' not come. An ye called him a stupid bastard. She smirked and her pace was even with his, and she'd pulled up a scarf over face, cursing. An' ye didn't have t' bring me ye know.
He laughed aloud. "As if I have a choice."
Always have a choice Flit.
He stopped dead in his tracks and stared at her while the winds howled around him. "Oh really? Always? Like in Ul'dah? With Kage and Natalie? I had a choice there? With Suri? And even with you? I'm never the one in control....it's always someone else....well not ANYMORE!" He shouted the last word and in the distance a howl of a Snow Wolf could be heard.
Listen t' ye. Blatherin' on like a child. As per th' usual. Ye keep blamin' everyone else an' takin' no responsibility for yer own bullshit. An' now ye run around killin' these halfwits, old bastards, an' even women. Fer what? Some coin an' some booze. Yer mother'd be proud. She hissed the last words and Ruru gasped in shock before he grimaced with a scowl.
"All this? Is for YOU! Gods damn you!" He stormed off, footsteps crunching in the snow as he approached his loyal chocobo. He began to hook into the stirrups and managed to get himself up on the mount looking down on Kink with a stern face. "Someday you'll realize how I feel and you'll appreciate the work I am doing to protect you." He took a deep breath and began to ride, while the fading voice in his ear continued.
All this good work yer doin'. I had ye wrong th' whole time Flit...yer th' savior o' me and th' city.
He focused on the road ahead and whispered to himself, almost absentmindedly. "You're damn right."
"Please....I-I was going to pay them back...."
