She had finally stopped crying. It had taken a while but Roy didn't complain. He read her diary, so he understood. Now he felt guilty, he destroyed her final memories of her brother.

Giving her his jacket, she hugged it tightly. It held his scent on it, but more importantly it kept prying eyes away.

She knew it was futile but she decided to ask, "I lost your watch, so can I go? Some one probably took it by now. I don't know where it is, so let me go!"

He scoffed, "You're the reason it's gone. If I don't find that watch, it will be your head."

"It's just a pocket watch! You can just order a new one!" Stop torturing me! She really did have no idea where the watch was anymore. It didn't make sense for her to come along with him.

He stopped walking and glared at her. "The future of this kingdom might as well lie inside that pocket watch. If we don't find it, we all could die."

"Let us die then! I don't care. My life ended years ago!"

It didn't make sense to him. When he threatened to kill her, she ran. So why does she not care now? He didn't know what that man did to her. All he knew was that was Havoc's murderer. If his blood brother died though, that would be more than enough of a reason to stop living. In fact, his blood brother is the only reason he is still alive today.

He slapped her. The sound echoed. "You can't give up! So many people are killed, their lives are cut short. Do you think they wanted to die? Do you think their desire was to die that day? You're wasting the life they desire!"

Her cheek would bruise. She knew it, but she all she could think about was, "…You sound like you know first hand. So tell me… have you ever looked a man in the face before you killed them?" She saw his face, the look of pain it betrayed. Why was she tormenting him? She knew the answer before she ever asked, so why did she force him to remember his pain?

Roy just walked forward. He felt no need to answer. She didn't really want one either. So they continued walking in silence. They took alleys ways, deciding against using the main street where they would be easily caught.

He stopped walking when they reached a pond shop. Riza didn't understand, "Aren't you going to go in?"

Roy shook his head. "If anyone finds out that pocket watch is mine, the price is going to skyrocket. It will be sold on the black market first sight." After thinking about it for a moment, it did make sense. But what in it could be so valuable?

"I'll go in and check if they have one." Walking in, she acts as if she's just looking around. There is plenty of stuff she'll never be able to afford. But just for once she pretends like she can.

A man walks up to her, "Hello, looking for anything particular today?"

Riza gives him a fake smile, it's jagged around the edges but it gets the job done. "Yes, I'm looking for a pocket watch for my… husband."

"I don't think we have any, let me go look." Looking in his back room he continues to make small talk with her, "Is that your husband's jacket? Or would you be willing to trade it in?" The man chuckles a bit.

She lets out a small chuckle as well. If she had decent clothing underneath, she would trade this jacket in a heart beat. "That's an expensive brand. I heard the prince himself wears it."

You learn something new everyday. "Oh I'm sorry, miss, we don't seem to have any." He adjusts his glasses then look pass me, "Speak of the devil. That looks like the Prince himself. I guess he usually does make his rounds about now, but I heard he went missing. Oh, well." With that he went back to work, and Riza just glared through the window.

Here, she is trying to help him and he just stands their flirting with some girl! Riza storms out. Why did she even bother? Wait, why did she care? He's a prince and she's a thief, their lives were as close as they were going to get.

If he was going to make her do all the work, then why bother? It's not like she cared if the kingdom lives. Not watching where she's going she bumps into another man. Looking up at him with tears forming at her eyes, the man holds her as if it's all he can do. Riza still feels alone.
