"No, no, no, no. No, no. You can't." The oil tears began to stream again. "You can't. I am not broken! I'm not, I'm not, I'm not!" She looked at him again, and suddenly, she was terrified of him. He was all she loved, all she knew, and all she feared. She truly was changed. Edited November 5, 2023 by DefiantAllomancer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She truly was changed. Jamie looked at her, his... accidental creation, and something within him shifted. As worried and confused as he was, he hated seeing her that way even more. His expression softened. "I'm sorry, Cebe. I just don't know what to do." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, now that Jamie seemed to have given up on trying to 'fix' her, he seemed tired, and hurt, and very confused. She had stopped crying, but she almost began to again. The two of them could never be. She was a robot, and he was a human, however much she wished it were different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She could hear his heart, like the steady beat of a drum of war, both terrifying and encouraging at the same time. His eyes stared at her, unyielding, cold as ice, hot as fire, and oh so beautiful.

Define 'love,' and 'hate,' and all those strange human words that are so simple, yet so complicated." Cebe's eyes, yes, they were eyes now, welled with the tears of oil once more, and she realized one inevitable truth. "I am becoming like this, because, I cannot live my life without you, so I have, unconsciously, decided to be like you, to be with you. I think... I think I am turning into a human.

It was all going horrible, terribly wrong. "I... I realize you don't see me the way I see you, but can you at least try to accept the fact that there isn't any going back? I'll stop trying so hard to get you to love me. I'll stop trying to be like you. Just say the word, but at least try to do that. Accept it. And maybe, maybe we could go back to being friends?"

Scars of Hathsin he/him Posted November 5, 2023 Report Share Posted November 5, 2023 Doug races across the space, grabbing the knife he had thrown, the iron outer layer, has shrivelled, and the silver inside, had blemished somewhat. What to do now? The two people he had started to consider friends has killed each other and now there were only three other people left. Two of which were fighting, where is that other one? He looks around trying to find the other person. @Master if Magic However before he does, he runs over to the closest tree, and using his daggers he separates a branch from the tree, now he had a way to kill without blood. He pulls the doll the random person had given him, from his pocket, wondering if there was anything special about it, or if there was something inside it. @ΨιτιsτηεΒέsτ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
