Still, with the fighting done at least the tension in the air seemed to be gone. Mostly. Aaron wasn't watching them all from the shadows any more, there was no need, but he was looking for one in particular. The big one, Mr. Hollywood, the only one that didn't lose. He was confident in his chances of winning if they came to blows, but that wasn't the point of the search. No, more important than that. A real man isn't afraid to admit when he's screwed up, and Aaron screwed up big the other day. It was time to try to right that, at least a little.

He wasn't trying to listen in this time, he just didn't want to interrupt. Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

Adam is the first to notice Aaron and says something to Steve that prompts him to turn around. "Good Afternoon Mr. Silverman. Can I be of assistance to you?" He'd ask.

How's Ryan?" Aaron wouldn't have let any real harm come to the guy, but that kid was scared half to death when he gave up. "I wanted to talk to Adam about something, actually. If I'm not interrupting anything important." Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

And we have discussed where he went wrong and how to do better next time." He'd glance over at Adam before nodding. "I think I can give you two a few moments. If you will excuse me." And Steve would walk away. "Here to accuse me of something else?" Adam would fold his arms over his chest and give Aaron the stare down. Back to Top   Mathew Amtrum Aaron Silverman Legend Defense ...

I should have trusted you more than I did." Aaron wondered how Adam even knew it was him, but he wouldn't ask. Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

"Mmph. You should have. I'm on your side." Dumbass. It wasn't said, but Aaron could probably hear it. Back to Top   Mathew Amtrum Aaron Silverman Legend Defense ...

Though that wasn't hard when you looked like that guy from those dumb vampire movies back in the 2000s. "And that's why I came here. It wasn't right to treat you like I did."

The rest of the branch are cool." Aaron shrugged. "I was wrong, and I'm sorry. For judging you, and going behind your back instead of talking to you man to man. You deserve a lot better." Even if you are an arrogant shithead. "I'd like to make amends sometime, but if now's not that time, that's fine. Whether you forgive anyone is your call; I don't have the right to make that decision for you. Nobody does." Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

You never knew, especially when it wasn't that long ago Mat stabbed him in the middle of a handshake. « Last Edit: Nov 10, 2015 2:31:52 GMT -6 by Aaron Silverman » Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

"I totally get it though, if I had to face someone as good as me. Well I'd probably try to look for a way to get him out of the fight first too." Because he was just better.

Mat had made him a little paranoid about that kind of thing. Just a tiny bit. "I actually wouldn't've minded facing you." Not a lie. "It wasn't to try to take you out of things; I was looking out for my friends here. But I should've known better than to think Director Harris would bring anyone who would try anything shady."

I'm sure the branches all see a lot of each other." What Adam didn't know was how close Aaron had been to specifically asking the Directors to match them up. "For now though, I'm glad we're both good guys." Didn't mean he didn't kind of want to kick this guy's ass sometime, but at least they didn't have to be actual enemies.

He didn't lose the smile though, just giving Adam a shrug. Making it clear the tough talk was doing absolutely nothing. "Don't think you understood me, man. Nobody's going rogue - all I'm saying is that, all else aside, I'm glad we're on the same team." Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...

The silence stretched between them, looking at each other, until it almost became awkward. Partly, that was down to Aaron not being sure what to say, nor finding all the unspoken posturing all that interesting, even as he found himself getting caught up in it. "The rest of your team going to be okay? Sounded like some of them got pretty roughed up." He might have been looking for a change of subject, but he also cared. They were all agents, at the end of the day. Back to Top   Some things are worth fighting for, some feelings never die...
