The Crowing
Ambellina was sitting across from Claudio, in the sparring room, on-board the mighty Grail Arbor
"Claudio, you're the Crowing... not a boy, you haven't been one for a LONG time..."
The Crowing scoffed, showing her that there might still be some of the boy left
"... I was there that day, when you became the final judgement, I watched you change.
And I saw how afraid you were"
"For the last time, Bell... I AM NOT AFAID!"
"Then show me! Because if you think anyone get's a third run at Wilhelm Ryan, you may aswell go
back to your hovel on Godder Damm"
Claudio struck at her, just barely missing. The former Prise still had moves...
He attacked again and again...
Ambellina ducked, dodged and bounced off the walls to avoid Claudio's growing powers
"Impressed aren't you?"
She was impressed but she could tell he was holding back, after what had happened to Cecil
"I would be... if you weren't playing it safe"
Claudio stopped, "What?"
"Cecil. You still think it was your fault, don't you?"
"No, I did what was expected of me. The fact that I got a friend killed... AND
noone cares, that's my fault. I should have made Cecil's death mean something, I
didn't... and that's on me. So drop it!"
