[nospaces] [attr="class","calebtest2"] [attr="class","text"] ollie morales? She couldn't possibly understand how much that name stung.[break][break] Caleb's hands balled into fists, jaw clenching. He stood abruptly, pushed the door closed just short of a slam, then returned to his seat.[break][break] She was right, of course. Her logic was sound. Of course a governing body had to pick and choose its priorities, it didn't have endless resources. The League had been under a tremendous amount of strain lately, anomaly after anomaly plaguing the citizenry of Hoenn, the people they were supposedly sworn to protect. That sort of thing put people like freya morningstar in the terrible position of needing to decide who might live and who might die at any given moment.[break][break] And still, he was angry. Weak-willed. He did not have the self-compassion to recognize his feelings as so very human, so instead, he took her bait and hated himself for it.[break][break] "Easy?" He hissed, leaning forward slightly. "You think this is easy for me?" He barked out a laugh that sounded only slightly unhinged (to his credit).[break][break] Could she see the grief in his expression? If she took his hand in hers, would she be able to read the tragedy in the lines of his palm like a fortune teller? Caleb had been beaten, broken, abused, and tortured and still, none of it plagued him like his own self-loathing. Could Freya see that his anger wasn't really for her? For the League?[break][break] I did this to myself. Hadn't Zev said as much? That insufferable monster - the brother who had so coldly disowned him - had been right.[break][break] "There is someone I care about, someone recently defected from Rocket. I don't trust the League to care enough, so I need you to protect him." He paused, sucked in a breath. "That, or teach me how I can."[break][break] He hadn't picked this woman out of a hat. He'd done his research. Stormy eyes found the metal Dragonaire display, as if to emphasize his point. They flicked back to the painting of Sootopolis next.
