Innertubes then, whatever!

[Be gentle, she last visited Earth in the reign of Louis XVI. This new fangled technology and civilization is a bit much for her. But human behavoir, that hasn't changed. Now...what could she blackmail him on?]

I know how you humans think! You're sneaky and a devious species-you could almost outdo a demon in that regard. I have no reason to take you at your word without some way to compel you to behave.

[infinitejustice]

[It's a good thing Athrun tries to be polite. Otherwise, he would be facepalming right now. As it is, he's sorely tempted to do so anyway.]

Net. Net.

Anyway, I...can't deny that humans are capable of behaving in such a way. I've seen it happen myself. But even so, is it truly so hard to believe that one human would hold himself to higher standards?

[rose_liberated]

Of course I can believe that. But I know that is also exactly the thing someone trying to trick me would say...

[So it's probably no surprise that she reaches into a drawer and pulls out a gun. What might be a surprise is that it seems to be made of gold and inlaid with precious stones.]

[infinitejustice]

...A gun?

[Athrun gets the implications. He's actually angry now that she would go this far.]

Put that away. You don't have to threaten me.

[rose_liberated]

I think that I do. I take my privacy extremely seriously. Especially vis a vis my species. You do understand, this is my life on the line here. I cannot take any chances.

Now, you're going to start talking. I could rely on the retribution my mother would visit on you humans for my death, but I don't want to rely on that.

[infinitejustice]

[In spite of Athrun's growing frustration, he finds himself feeling sympathetic again. He knows this feeling exactly, though he wouldn't resort to threats of physical violence in order to protect his secret.]

You're right. I do understand. I understand because, while I am human, I'm also in the same boat. If the world knew the truth of my heritage, my life would be as moot as yours.

[rose_liberated]

If this is some sort of sob story to earn my sympathy, it's not going to work. But if you're offering me some information I can use...

[infinitejustice]

I'm only giving you the truth. I suppose it's only fair that, since I learned your heritage, that I tell you my own.

My parents were both the results of experimentation with genetic manipulation. Their physical and mental characteristics were all enhanced. And I inherited their selected genes.

[rose_liberated]

...Well then here. I think you'll understand what I want.

[She pulled out her handkerchief, and hands it over to him.]

[infinitejustice]

Ah...collateral? One moment.

[Athrun takes the handkerchief and digs into his own pocket. He pulls out a silver pocket watch and offers it to Rozalin.]

[rose_liberated]

[Ugh, she thought this would be obvious.]

No, you fool. I want some of that watery liquid you call blood. I'll keep it safe, and you won't have to worry about a thing...unless something happens to me, of course.

[infinitejustice]

You...what? Why do you want my blood?

[He puts the watch back into his pocket, then looks around for a sharp implement. Fortunately (or not, depending on your view), someone left a sewing kit nearby.]

[rose_liberated]

Why, even after your heartwarming revelation I don't trust you any farther than I can throw you. And believe me, with these mortal arms, that's not far at all.

But with a little leverage, I might be persuaded to give you the benefit of the doubt.

[infinitejustice]

[Athrun sighs. Good grief.]

Fine. If nothing else, I suppose I have to give you credit for being so thorough about this.

[He takes a needle, wipes it off with a moist towelette, then sticks it into his finger. Without more than a wince, he pulls it back out and squeezes his finger until a drop of blood forms on it, then dabs it away with the handkerchief.]

[rose_liberated]

I have read some of your science books. Most interesting how far your kind have come since the last time I visited.

[The blood, once deposited on the handkerchief, vanishes almost instantly as Rozalin snatches it back and stuffs it into her clothes for safekeeping at the moment.]

Now. Shall I give you something, as a modest show of my appreciation?

[infinitejustice]

[Normally Athrun would say he wants nothing, but there is one thing he's concerned about.]

Would you be willing to keep an eye out for anything Blue Cosmos might do?

[That may sound like an odd request. Why would someone like him care about a group of eco-terrorists?]

[rose_liberated]

...I had something more like the gift of a book or some money, but I suppose I can keep that name in mind.

[infinitejustice]

Please do. I'm afraid I have a history with them, so the more I know about what they're doing, the better.

Also, I'm sorry for being a cause of concern for you. Believe me, I never wanted to worry you.

[rose_liberated]

Well, I don't want to worry you either, so be unafraid. I'm fairly certain that as long as I remain alive, my mother won't destroy this city.

[infinitejustice]

[Raised eyebrow.]

Oh? So is that a request for protection?

[But he can't keep a straight face, and smiles. He's teasing.]

[rose_liberated]

Hmph. I don't need your protection. I'm far from a pretty princess in a tower, a damsel who needs rescuing. A manicure and high couture do not disqualify me from self-defense.

[infinitejustice]

Even so, you're free to call on me for aid. You've ensured that I have a vested interest in your safety.

[rose_liberated]

Well, don't expect me to call on you any time soon.

[Still...she's a bit touched.]

[infinitejustice]

Even so, the offer stands.
