Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cordinia put her fists down and knelt near Alex. "Listen kid, this isn't exactly easy for me either, but if I don't knock some sense into him, he's going to hurt himself much more than I ever could. Also," cordinia shoved Alex out of the way of Eric's approaching blade. "You attack a helpless child? What happened to the kindhearted man I used to know?" cordinia leg swept Eric and threw a punch toward his face. Eric rolled out of the way and stood back up.
"That man was killed. Killed by his closest friends. There is nothing left of him but an empty husk and two blades of hatred," he said slashing at cordinia. He swung up and tossed her in the air. She landed on one hand after falling for a few seconds. She sprung back to her feet.

Cordinia sighed. "I won't be able to explain this to you for a while," cordinia dodged a slash and threw a punch. Eric unsummoned a blade and caught the punch.
"But sometimes..." cordinia winced as Eric bent her wrist back toward her forearm. "people must be hurt in order for something good to happen," she said launching a kick towards Eric's head. It connected and Eric let go of cordinia's wrist.

Cordinia looked over at Alex and glared at him. "Theres no..." she was stabbed by Eric. Cordinia gasped and fell to her knees. "Why?" she said grasping the gaping wound in her side. Eric chuckled and wiped blood off his keyblade. "Violence begets more violence. That's no way to live," he looked to Alex. "Now where was I? Oh yes, the blond coward who wouldn't hurt a mosquito if it bit him on the nose," he said.

Just before Eric began walking toward Alex, cordinia sprang up and delivered a vicious kick to Eric's back. Eric scoffed and fell forward. "You strike like a.." He was cut off by a series of brutal punches to his face. Cordinia delivered blow after blow to Eric until she was to tired to continue. She tapped her pocket and tossed aside an empty bottle.
"Potions. Never leave home without one," she said.

Cordinia laughed. "It's just a flesh wound," she said. The wound was still bleeding. "Darn. This was a good shirt to. Looks like I'm doing laundry tonight," she said holding her hand against the wound.

Cordinia knelt by Alex again. "Listen, I didn't want to do that, but he's been through a lot lately and he thinks the world will be better without him. That or he can't figure out a way to deal with the stress of what's happened. I'm not 100% sure what happened, but he doesn't trust anyone for some reason. Don't trust anything he says beyond this point. If he says he's ok and we should let him go, don't. It's going to take days to get him even close to normal," she said putting a hand on his shoulder. She quickly withdrew it when she realized it was the hand she was holding over the wound and it was covered in blood.

Cordinia nodded. "I'll take care of that part. Could you go find some rope for me please? It pains me to say this, but I have to restrain him until he's calmed down. What I just did might have made him a bit cranky," she said lifting Eric over her shoulder by the arm. She winced in pain.

Cordinia shook her head. "Nah. I'll be fine. Just needs some rest and good food. I'll stay here for dinner. Mrs fringe is a great cook, " she said smiling nervously. She secretly didn't like magic. She quickly walked away with Eric and placed him on his bed. She walked back downstairs.
