Flashback: Ballroom

While her father had proven herself, Aiden may have heard the talk, probably had, of her family.

Their unusual appearence was suspected to be a product of some Cybrid weapon, some chemical spill, some defect brought about by the war.

That their state of being, somehow, was not in line with the preservation of humanity and its natural state that the Empire stood for and the emperor had spoken so often of the importance of. And while the emperor recognized that Aiden's family, even IF the rumors were true, could still help that goal more than hurt it, the fact is that there was the occasional whisper as people looked over at her...

Didymus had noticed her too. He'd noticed, even, an occasional whisper. Really, an occasional one-not everyone was interested in gossiping about Aiden's family. A slower dance had started, and Aiden looked...really sad.

Suddenly, he got a notion.

Go on. Ask her.

Didymus paused.

"...is that Thee, Lord...?" he whispered. "...or is it just my conscience nagging at me? I mean, really, she's...not my taste. She may be a lovely enough girl, but I can't say I'm attracted to that...appearence of hers, especially considering what it might be..."

You're a knight. Do it. Be chivalrous.

"...but aren't I entitled to selected a partner of my own preference and courting her, just as she is a man of her choice? Is it MY fault that she's like this tonight?"

No. But it IS within your power to comfort her, at least for one evening. This isn't courtship, it's just one dance. You, you whose heart aches so much...would you say it bad that you could help lift a similarly heartbroken girl out of it, for one night? For ONE dance, let her know that SOMEONE at least cares a LITTLE?

"...I...what about being seen with-"

That's a horrible reason and you know it.

"...yes...yes, this is true..."

He looked around...and approached Aiden.

"...good evening, milady..." he said.

"...um...may I...have...this dance?"

Aiden sighed a little, looking longingly at the couples as they danced. She wished someone would ask her to dance...

Then Didymus approached her, and Aiden looked up at him, wondering for a moment if he was going to say something demeaning to her...

Instead...

"...good evening, milady..." he said.

"...um...may I...have...this dance?"


“I...umm... really?” Aiden asked, not sure if she believed him, “I mean... of course, I'd love to!”

She stood up, smiling towards Didymus, though the top of her head didn't quite reach his chin.

Aiden's very short.

When Aiden asked "really?" Didymus' mind flashed briefly with the idea of saying "Not really, I just thought you could use cheering up".

Didymus has learned not to embrace every thought, thankfully...

He instead took one her hands, placed the other on her back, and took her to the dance floor...

...his dancing skills were rusty, though.

Aiden smiled brightly as Didymus took her hand, leading her to the dance floor. She was still a little worried that it was some kind of trick, but she would take what she could check.

As they danced a bit, Aiden seemed to perk up more, enjoying it.

“...Thank you...” Aiden said to Didymus, looking up at him, “For asking me to dance. I know what a lot of people say about me...”

Didymus nodded.

"Yes...it's...of course. I...am glad I could help..." he said, wondering if now those same things would be said about HIM.

Aiden paused for a moment. She could tell that Didymus seemed hesitant. She thought about ignoring it, but she knew that wasn't right...

“I understand if you don't want to talk to me again or anything after this...” Aiden said quietly, “People think my family and I are marked by Cybrids, that we're... not pure...”

She frowned, looking down for a moment, “My father fought hard to prove his own worth. He hoped it would pass on to me as well... But everyone thinks I'm worthless. That I'm a freak... So... I understand if you feel the same way too...”

"...I..."

Didymus paused.

"...I don't think you're worthless, and I don't think that everyone else does, either..." he said. He thought that her family may very well be mutants, be "impure" in that regard...but that didn't make her worthless, even IF it was true...

“Everyone seems to think there's something wrong with me... Like I'm impure... not actually human...” Aiden sighed, “No one would want to be with me... Though I guess my dad found someone...”

She shook a little, not sure why she was confiding in Didymus all of this, maybe because he was the only person who had shown any sort of interest in her.

KxS took a deep breath. "Alright, I can do this," she mumbled. She held her head up, trying to keep her chin parallel to the floor. She closed her eyes to listen to the music better. She held on to Jimi as naturally as she possibly could and danced with him. She let the thought of her feet go as she followed his lead.


Shimera grinned more. "That's good!"

The blonde had an urge to give him a smooch on his cheek, but held back. She remembered that she could be under surveillance at any given moment in time, even here.


Mars-Crash Site

Strobe growled and continued her attack. She was letting her HERC take more hits than it needed. "I'm losing my shield, I can only shoot for so long!" she shouted through the radio. Her pitch-black eyes glared at her targets as she shot.

Caanon paused, looking over the girl who didn't recognize him.

"I am the First Knight, Caanon Weathers..." he said, his characteristic coldness creeping back into his voice due to the awkwardness of the situation (and possible "improper-ness" of this girl not knowing who's who in the Imperial court)...

...she probably had heard of the Weathers family, at least...

Flashback: Ballroom

Didymus (who may have only been a knight in training at this point, Vidit's still a bit uncertain as to the "canonity' of this scene, XD) was quiet as Aiden spoke. He didn't want to say it openly that he himself shared the concerns she was bringing up...

"Well...if your father found someone...maybe you will too?" he said.

But SHOULD she? If her appearance is indeed indicative of some mutation left by a Cybrid weapon or something, SHOULD it be propagated into the human bloodline...?

He didn't bring those thoughts up.

Crash site, Mars

As Strobe's own shields began to fade and flicker, one of the Talons pecking away at it lost its own shield to her weapons!

Jimi smiled as he and Kxs danced, Jimi leading her across the dance floor easily enough.

“See, you're getting it,” Jimi said, “You're a natural.”



Cess paused for a moment, looking over to Shimera, also having the urge to kiss her, but suppressed it.

“So then, I should get you back to the party. Might be talk if you stay out here too long with me...” Cess said.



Kyran paused for a moment, mulling over the man's name.

“Oh... Weathers...” Kyran said, nodding a bit, “Yah, my sister and dad have mentioned you before a bit! I don't usually go out to stuff like this, I'm usually helping my dad on engineering stuff! Dad's trying to make some metal that's lighter but just as strong as what we're using for the mechs, and more efficient engines... It's been a little difficult though, but he and Mom thought I should get out a bit more, so Elysia took me here!”

-Mars: Crash Site-

Hammah took a deep breath, thumbing the controls of his own HERC. He focused, then fired on the other HERC with it's shields down!

-Flashback: Ballroom-

Aiden frowned a little, “I don't know... maybe... My mom made a lot of waves when she went and married my dad...”

Aiden's mother was a beautiful young aristocrat when she went and married Zadkiel, having several suitors already, and Zadkiel had been a newly minted Knight who many thought never should have become one, but had proven himself.

Then she had a daughter, who carried the same physical attributes of the father, the white hair, tanned skin, red eyes...

“I just want to prove just because I look different doesn't mean I'm less then human... I want to be able to start a family of my own one day...” Aiden said softly.

Caanon nodded.

"A worthy endeavor..." he said. "...though certainly much easier said than done..." he added.

Flashback: Ballroom

Didymus didn't really know what to say to Aiden's laments, especially because he actually shared a lot of the concern that she was talking about...

...so instead he remained silent, continuing the dance, partially hoping that Aiden would simply talk herself through and not seek a response, not yet, at least...

...yeah, maybe not the best plan, but he was stalling for now...

Mars-Crash site

The Talon attempted to circle around, drawing Hammah's fire/line of fire through his own squad!

Kyran nodded towards Weathers, smiling stuff, as per usual.

“Of course! But if we can figure it out, it'll be a tremendous boon to everyone! It'll give us another advantage over the Cybrids, for one,” Kyran said.

-Flashback: Ballroom-

Aiden sighed a little, going quiet now as Didymus did. When the dance ended, Aiden stepped away from him.

“...Thank you for dancing with me...” Aiden said quietly, “You didn't have to, but I appreciate it...”

KxS became delighted as she and Jimi glided across the floor. She never thought she could be this graceful. It was as if the music grabbed her limbs and controlled her. The music assured her that it could be trusted, so she just let it happen.

Jimi had called her a natural at this dancing thing. She chuckled under closed lips. "You're pretty good too," she cooed.


Shimera bobbed her head. "Oh yes, this is not a subject you would want to be the center of attention for," she sighed. She checked her hair to see if it was still in the style she had it put in before the dance started. "I do hope to see you again soon."


Mars-Crash Site

The purple-haired rebel's frown transformed into a smirk. "Your shield's down, eh?" she said menacingly under her breath. She fired at that one Talon and hoped for the best.

She heard an alarm in her HERC. It was a warning that her shield was almost out. "Not today, baby, you just hang in there," she muttered.

Caanon nodded.

"Indeed it would..."

He looked around, and noticed a couple on the dance floor.

He frowned...

Flashback: Ballroom

Didymus blinked at Aiden's thanks.

"...yes. Of course, it...I hope you enjoyed it..." he said, not quite sure where this would go or what exactly to do next...

Mars-Crash site

The damaged Talon took hits from Strobe's HERC, one of its legs gave out and it tripped, and exploded in the crash!

However, Strobe's shield had finally dropped and the remaining Talon's autocannons bit at her HERC's weapons mounts and legs!
