He listened to her and shook his head. "Don't need our parents. I mean you are doing fine on your own and I will get there. For years my father beat me down mentally because as great as he was with his ability he did not seem to be able to handle the fact that he had a son that did not. It was different with you girls but us guys got it worse." No one worse than him however. "Maybe he secretly knew that I was into both genders and that was a problem either way I'm over it and want to be better."
He gave his own hair a flick and one of the homeless women whistled and he turned and gave her a wink. "Point being we can do this until you decide to stab me in the back and then I have to retaliate." It seemed almost predictable but he knew that Noah would do it sooner or later. Though he had not said anything it did not take much to know how true villains worked. "I mean there is a slight chance that you won't but I think the odds are greater the other way around."

"If we were back in Belize where I had other siblings to choose from then yes you'd have to worry about me stabbing you in the back but here you don't. I don't plan to go on and become something big but I do want enough to be able to hold and herd my own and with you that will make the first step easier." His lack of motivation was already making her dislike him though. "Besides if I choose to stab you I'm going to do it right between the eyes that way I know that you at least had a little chance to see it coming."
He gave her zero credit which upset her but she was only going to use that to prove him wrong. "I don't want to be the baddest of the bad, I just want to be feared by the little unknown guys. Despite everything I can do, me being a woman will still get me held down sometimes and that I can't help. Not too much though so look around here and tell me I did excellent on picking out our headquarters already." Why did it have to be so hard to compliment her? She only thought about it a second and let it go.

"If you are serious about this being a headquarters then I think that is great and at least I know now that I need to keep my eye on you." He knew in the end if she wanted to get him that she would and that was okay with him. "Look I don't mean to not compliment you, it's just you know as well as anyone that is just not how we were raised and so it's hard but it does not mean that I do not want to."
Maybe if they both would have had more of it in their life they would be adjusting to this whole scenario easier though he had to give it to Noah she seemed to be doing it better than him and that was the highest compliment that he could think to give her. "Alright so since we looked where you want to can I take you somewhere?" He did want them to be close siblings but he had no idea if it was too late for that or not. "Just as..just so we can have a sibling moment. We did not get many growing up but now we can have all we want right?" He winked at her. "Unless it makes you feel bad for taking a dud with you."

She was glad that he seemed like he was at least acting like he was going to go along with her plan. She looked around and spoke. "Yep honestly I thought that you would never ask because just between you and me this place was starting to give me the creeps." It was going to be a headquarters but not with the infestation that sat within it now. "Maybe show me where you met that trashy girl that you were talking about. As a matter of fact we need to see if we can find her period because she might be just the thing to finally make you do something."
Her brother was not that hard to read he just liked to pretend that he was. She could understand it so as she got up she decided to speak to him. "You know you don't have to walk around like the tough guy whose afraid to be soft." She felt like Dax was hiding a lot about himself due to their upbringing but at least it was better than a mass killing spree which was how she had originally imagined that he would come out. "You know with that blonde hair and those eyes you could easily be a leader of a spiritual organization because saying cult might be too much." She smiled hoping that it would help him out. "Anyway lead the way."

"Nope. From what I hear people that end up in those seem to lose sight of the fact that they do have their own self value and look at me. I wasn't born to lead." He always felt like if you were not feeling it then it was not something that you needed to dive into and right now he was not feeling leading. "What our father did had it's ups and downs and overall was okay but those are not my footsteps to follow in."
He did love stepping out into the fresh air though because it felt right. He turned the corner and then a second and finally a third before he spoke. "So what are you going to do in the mean time. Your plan if we are calling it that is something that will take a few months at the very least so you need to keep busy and I know how. The only thing is that I think that it's legal and I do not know how you feel about that." Sibling moments were special because for as bad as she wanted to be she still needed a lot of work. "Can you work doing something legal until the time is right for it to turn illegal?"

"I don't think it's the fact that they lose their self value. I honestly think it's the fact that they over estimate." It happened to people a lot but it was up to them if they decided to see it or not. "Take a lesser fortunate person for example. If they have struggled their whole life and all of a sudden they get a little better way of life no one can convince me that they would do the correct thing with their money. They would not know how because they have never been in that position or had the experience and life is all about the experiences."
She smiled as she spoke next. "Whatever I want well after I get you so roped in that you can't say no." It was hard to know if Dax just had one hell of a cover up or if he truly was going to walk the path of the straight and narrow but right now she felt like if she stuck close to him then maybe she could get a better read. "Look I am not asking you to follow in Balthier's footsteps because no one here even knows who the hell Balthier Strife is but I am asking you to allow yourself a chance to be open to the idea that you could take what you learned from watching said footsteps and walk your own way. Is that really so bad?"

"Nah. I don't think it's bad at all but i do know any time he gets ready dad will pull us from here. It won't be him making us leave because we are stationed here as long as a place like this exists but our training." He shook his head at the thought. "Dad has always made sure that we are trained properly and I do not see that being any different now. I feel as if we do have a little more freedom but there is a part of me that is wondering at what price does that freedom really come at you know?"
He did not want to alarm her but there were times where you had to be realistic and he felt like this was one of those times. "Say you start it and have no one else to leave in command and we have to go back to Belize for training then what happens to everything that you have already did? It would fall apart so if you are serious about this then you really need to get on with it and pick someone and fast. All I am saying nicely is that your formation can not take forever."

"It has not been forever though if anything it has only been a couple of days." She hated when he talked like that because that was a sure fire sign that he was done before he had even gotten started. "I hate to break it to you Dax but I do not see it that way. We were only being tossed from here or there so much because we were not trying hard enough. Now granted I am not asking you for a commitment to this particular project but a little more seriousness would help. Picking someone to do something beside you is a task that not many people would qualify for." She wanted him to be the pick but it was clear that Dax was nowhere near a pick me.
"What qualities would you find yourself looking for if you needed someone in a hurry? That might help me and I know that we are on a different wavelength when it comes to thinking about those types of things but I mean if one wants to learn then it has to start somewhere right?" She figured she could take his idea and expand off of it and then call it hers especially since all of the people that she knew were off on an island somewhere in Belize. "I guess what I am saying is how do you think that dad would do it because I could do it like that and see what happens?"

He shook his head and heard his own laugh as it escaped from his mouth. "Look at you being as conniving as always. I must say that is probably the first impressive thing that I have ever heard come out of your mouth." He did not say it to be cruel to her because he could tell simply from the blonde hair on her head that his sister could talk shit with the best of them but to do what she seemed to be dead seat on she was going to need so much more. "I could do it for you but you admitted that you would turn your back on me and that, well honestly that makes me quite uncomfortable."
It was bad enough not knowing a damn thing about where you were but having shoes constantly running in your memory that you wanted to fill but knew that the time and requirement needed too were much more than you were willing to give at the moment well it made everything that you thought might be good turn into something not necessarily so. "Well let me see," he took a minute to think about it before going on. "He would not give two shits about befriending anyone, nor two shits about what he did not have at the moment because when you want something enough it does not matter what you have you put your name out there in a forceful way and you keep doing it until finally someone starts to pay attention and even then you do not stop."

"All things that I can do" She did not know if she should be listening to Dax as he started talking like this but she knew that she wanted to. It put something that was close to like a fire in her and still she knew that she needed to be cautious so after a few minutes she spoke. "I think I just figured out what you are good at. It's called shit talk by the people around here." She had seen it from others and for that she knew that she was bias.
"Everything that comes out of your mouth either upsets people or does not but finds other ways to motivate them and that is not necessarily a bad thing. You just did it to me and it's not a power of persuasion but a truth if that makes sense." She could not believe that she had over looked it so much and yet she had. "I think that I know just how we are going to do what we need to get me where I now think that the both of us feel that we need to be." She was starting to feel like she did not need to turn her back on him. "I'm truly blonde for not seeing this before now but I don't need to turn my back on you Dax I need to work right beside you."
