Yikes. Caesar hadn't expected Atbash to bring attention to his scars and quite frankly, the quickest way for him to direct the subject elsewhere was to bring up the group Atbash had lead. She genuinely seemed to love the tribe, despite how flawed they were and how obvious it was that it was dying - though in a way, Caesar couldn't help but feel like if he were in her place, he may have done the same thing. Although I definitely have a lot more power than her. He mused to himself. I could save a group if I wanted to.

"Listen, Atbash..." Caesar sighed after a short pause came between them, with him not being entirely sure how to respond. Clearly his older sibling didn't realize that he had been the cause of Snowbound burning down and while he was glad for it in a way, it was making things awkward as hell. And as much as he wanted to 'bond' and get Atbash on his side again, Stryker wasn't a patient dude. "Do you... think Vigenere would forgive me?" He asked. "I mean, even after... you know." Killing Athena, ruining his life, ruining [i]your life, murdering their parents, the King, millions of others...[/i] Was he missing anything else?

Atbash blinked at him again, frowning in thought for a moment. "Honestly, I'm... not sure. I can't speak for him." She admitted. "You know how he is, he's very stubborn when it comes to forgiveness." Caesar forced himself not to snicker at her saying that, mentally adding to himself, Unlike you.
"But if it helps, I forgive you. Even if you haven't said 'sorry' yet." Atbash's voice was cheerful as she spoke, playfully nudging Caesar with one of her paws. "We can go talk to him sometime, if you want."

Caesar gave Atbash a small smile, forcing himself to make it seem as if he was being genuine in his words. He pressed his head against her shoulder again before pulling back, as if he had just reminded himself of something. "Oh! Have you gotten any of your powers back?" He asked excitedly, quickly trying to change the subject again. "Check this out -" Without giving Atbash any sort of reaction time, Caesar threw one of his arms up in the air, releasing a fireball that was meant to signal [member=1738]Stryker[/member] - not that Atbash knew it was for him but hey.
