"I know what I've seen, what I've experienced from the past, and what I've seen now," maybe if there wasn't as much alcohol in his head he'd be able to pay more attention to what was true and what wasn't. "Do you know how many times I've seen her cry over you how you're dying and how she need stop help," it had never accorded to him before why it annoys him so much until now. A small familiar feeling about how much his own father made Raziel care for him so that it could be exploited for his loyalty. It's an unconscious feeling that's strung when he sees Eris Halla and to know that Chu-e Choi here was part of the problem keeping her there. [Break][break]

And having been a child manipulated by Rocket, and now can be nothing more than a witness to it who he could only give warning. It burned. And of course be can't see how Rocket is different now because he has been hurt too much by the Rocket of old. That this so called new rocket was an impossibly.[Break][break]

"No the problem was that I had believed you," that's probably why this hurt as much as it did, "I believed that you left, I had believed that you wanted to be different from what you used to be, that you hated Rocket for what they did to you..." there is a pause as there is a small hitch in his voice "Believed in the possibility you and I could be friends despite the bullshit, but you. Went. Back.[break][break]

Back to the very people who made you sick, back to the very people who killed her parents, back to people who would see this region burn just like Kanto did," he need to take a breath as he looks out making sure their argument wasn't behind heard. Thankfully the beheeyem relieves his worries. [break][break]

"All while completely blind to see that it's all the same thing, Blackwell might be gone but Rocket doesn't change"

"People like her were created because of Rocket, not just problems with the so called system," Razz growls back annoyed that the other keeps doing nothing but throwing blame everywhere but the very organization he was with and making stronger. For awhile he's quiet as he lets Chu-e speak his anger about how Razz was the one who wasn't listening. As if he was part of some criminal organization rather than the other way around.

"Its almost like actions have consequences," Razz eventually spits back because how could the other expect for him to trust them after all the bullshit from the past. He's put enough effort to give him the benefit of the doubt, part of him wants to continue again but this time Salem gets in the way of things. Salem getting his trainer's attention enough for him to point at the Litwick. With the buzzing in his head Razz doesn't have his natural senses about him, but the flames don't lie. [break][break]

Chu-e is truthful about not wanting Rocket to win but the ranger is too buzzed to understand properly what that means. "Say I do believe you... what's it matter when in the end you're still with them again doing the exact same bullshit?"

There may not be a lie the flames could detect, but from his experience they weren’t perfect. Sometimes if you lie to yourself enough, it would be true. That or all it meant was that Chu-e wasn’t doing Beast things like he used to do in his past. [break][break]

Not that the other was going to answer him as he decides to walk off after bringing his fist up as if to strike. Though the current time doesn’t erase years of habits, and old memories. The ranger flinched back instinctively as if expecting something. [break][break]

Probably showing more that there was always that small part of him that still saw the other as the ‘Beast’ he used to be despite him wanting to look past it. [break][break]

Razz curses under his breath as he kicks the dirt, the flames fading as he allows Chu-e to leave his terrain. Slumping against the wall as all he could try to do was process everything
