Maddox exhaled a little as he stalked through the halls of the guild of Fairy Tail, for what would likely be the last time. He had already gone through the process of having his stamp removed, as well as the other formalities, but he hadn't really bothered to say good bye to anyone, not that he was close to anyone, nor did he broadcast the fact that he was returning the more unsavory underworld from which he had first crawled.
He had several bags on his back, clearly his belongings, and it was very much obvious that something was up. No one bothered him as he exited the guild, his eye fixed upon the ground so that he did not have to look at the people whom he passed along the way, though he was not entirely sure why he was doing so. Was it perhaps shame? Disappointment in himself? Would he really miss the guild?
He frowned a little against the material that covered his mouth, closing his eye and continuing to walk off of the Fairy Tail guild property, somewhat unconsciously walking pass a certain cafe that someone had introduced him to on more than one occasion - a route that he took simply out of habit.
In his business, habits were bad, but this one he didn't really seem able to kick just yet. Shifting one of the bags that rest across his shoulders, his green eye slowly reopened as he wondered what sort of future lay before him, knowing the dark road that he was taking.

Syana had been hearing rumors about Maddox leaving, but she never believed them. Maddox would of told her, surely. Her belly rolled, causing butterflies to flutter in the midst of her belly. Her emerald green gaze following the sky as she stood staring up at the sky, her hands behind her back and a cool breeze blowing through her caramel brown hair and letting it ruffle softly and blow back and forward before closing her eyes leaning over to gaze at the ocean. Syana loved standing at the ocean, the sea in the distance with the hill going down and the railing stopping people from falling in. The breeze that was always there filled her nose with the salty sea air. She leaned over the railings and opened her eyes.
Mokona leaped onto the railing and watched her before smiling and nudging into her arm with his small white hand. Clearly happy with the news of Maddox's supposed leave; he let the wind ruffle and play with his long ears before he turned to face the sea. "Now you can play lovey dovey with Syo." he joked, just to get a sigh from Syana and then tilted her head a little. "And then you two can be together forever like you two were meant to in your childhood."

As he ventured further from the guild, and lessened the chance of meeting one of his former guild mates, Maddox allowed his uncovered eye to raise, peering around a little as he tried to decide where he should go. To be honest, he hadn't the faintest clue where he was headed or even where he would stay. He had long been debating whether or not he belonged in a guild like Fairy Tail, but at the end of the day, his presence merely tainted it. Stained it black with blood.
His eyelid fell a bit, casting a sidelong glance towards the ocean, he froze up for a second, one of his bags falling from his hands as (of all people), he spotted Syana standing by the railing. Part of him wanted to go to her, to say something, but he was hesitant to speak to her - afraid that it would shake his resolve.
As such, his expression softened a bit, and rather than calling to her or going to her, he bowed in her direction, closing his eye for a moment as he wished for her to have a long, happy life, before turning to continue along his way, another sigh leaving him.
He did not wish to taint her, either...

Mokona glanced around to see Maddox but just glared at him, clearly not wanting him near Syana as he knew he'd sadden her. Urging him to turn away, he watched him bow and just narrowed his eyes even more into slits of hatred, turning his gaze away and then looked towards Syana in hope she wont turn around. Of course, nothing ever went as he wished; she turned around.
Syana had turned around in wonder as she noticed Maddox's back to her, or what looked like Maddox. She bit her lip a little before shrugging and running after him, her dress flailing behind her and her gypsy like shoes hitting the ground silently as her hands swung while'st she ran. "Maddox! Wait?" she noticed the bags and her stomach dropped, she felt sick. Emotionally sick. He was really leaving, he was really retreating away from her, away from the guild.
When she was in distance, she slowed down to a walk so she was near him and leaned out an arm to grab his shirt, urging him to wait just to walk forward a little and take hold of his wrist in sheer worry. Mokona had been hasty and leaped onto her back, gripping onto her shoulder and refusing to let go while she ran, clear distaste on his face.

Maddox cringed a bit as he heard her calling his name, and it took a great deal of restraint to keep from bolting away from her and just escaping without having to face her - but in the end, he just couldn't do it. He really did want to see her, repercussions be damned.
He stood still, not bothering to look back, as he could hear her running after him, and soon felt her grasping onto his shirt, before moving to grip his wrist. Part of him didn't want her to touch him, but a larger part of him wanted her to touch him more, which was the very moment that he realized how dangerous of a situation he had placed himself in to talk to her.
"Hello Syana," he greeted, rather casually, his eye refusing to focus on her for too long, as it stole a glance at Mokona as well, "and disgruntled rabbit..." He added, slowly setting down his bags, as they suddenly felt awfully heavy. "How are you?" He asked, hoping that she had not heard the rumors surrounding his leaving the guild - and hoping that she was oblivious enough to miss the fact that he was carrying a great deal of luggage with him.

As Syana panted, her hand still gripped onto his wrist for dear life as if she was going to fall. Tears formed in the bottom of her eyelids slightly. He really was going to leave and she could see that he was trying to avoid her gaze.
"You're going?" she asked slightly, voice quaking before she cleared her throat and leaned upward. "That's not good..." she frowned, breathing slowing down slightly and then pressing her one hand to her waist.
"Everybody was talking about it around the guild, Mokona was getting me some cocoa when I was ill and told me... I didn't believe him, but now I do." she frowned, closing her green eyes and wrapping her hands around his waist, rubbing her face against his back slightly in a sort of hug meanwhile Mokona just glared at him. "It's the person who lost an eye. Sell it for money?" he mocked. Syana already figured out that the two had a sort of hate relationship. "Why not sell the other and do us the favor of making your face symmetrical?"

Maddox opened his mouth to try to explain a little of the situation he was in, but promptly shut it as the rabbit decided to give him sass (and while he was enjoying feeling Syana hugging his back, too). For a moment his face was expressionless, but a slow smirk played upon his lips, hidden by the cloth, but twisted. He cast a glance back, though he couldn't really see either of them.
"I would give up all of my money to restore my lost eye," he replied to the rabbit, remaining oddly calm in spite of the strong urge he had to rip Mokona's ears off. "My old guild master took it from me. An eye for an eye, he said, after I had tripped up a little during my mission. With that, he attacked me, and I have not been able to see through this eye since," he commented, shaking his head a bit, "I do not expect you to understand the cruelty of such an act, but do not make light of it." He warned, his green eye narrowing slightly as he shook his head, his long hair flopping around a little on his back as he did so.
"If I wanted to make some real money, I'd steal you, rabbit. I imagine a talking bunny with some sort of magical power would fetch a pretty penny, yes?" He snickered a bit, but it faded, "I'd have done away with you a long time ago, but I know it would break Syana's heart..."

Mokona glared at him, ears pinned back with his eyes narrowed. "If you did that, you'd regret it when people try and steal me." Mokona retaliated.
Syana picked up Mokona, covering his mouth with her hand and then shook her head as she silenced him before holding Mokona close. "Maddox, you going is horrible...." she admitted, walking in front of him as she got a little worried that he was avoiding to look at her.
She leaned up a little, watching him with green gaze and leaning her hands up to his cheeks, pressing a hand to his cheek and the other to his shoulder. "Whay are you going?"

His eyes closed slightly as was moving around him, and he wanted very much to look away, though she made it terribly difficult as she touched at his face. Of course, she had to ask him why, and as he was silent for a few moments, it gave the initial impression that he did not know for certain why this was.
Eventually, he cleared his throat, "some people are not meant to walk in the light, they end up tainting it, and anything, or anyone, that they come into contact with," Maddox mumbled, raising a hand to touch gingerly at her hand for a fleeting moment. "I just..." A frown tugged at his lips.
"I cannot adjust to having to live this way... I have only known one style of life, and it seems I do not have the power to deviate from it," he shook his head softly, closing his eye somewhat, "I do not wish to fight my nature for the rest of my life, nor do I..." His voice trailed off for a moment, as he swallowed hard, forcing himself to continue, "nor do I wish to drag you into the darkness with me..."

Syana listened to him, her green eyes filled with confusion. Her Emerald gaze flashing with more sadness afterward and she just nodded, before pondering.
"Oh maddox... You'll never convert me." she said softly, lowering her hands to her chest and watching him before looking to the side. "You made me feel so happy and free." she sighed, smiling and just wrapped her arms around him and hugged him. "Why do you want to leave?" she questioned. "You fitted in so well..." she scowled a little, folding her arms more around his back and hugging tightly and watching him with great concern.
"You're leaving everybody behind... Everybody who cared for you and are your friends." "He had friends?" Mokona asked.

Maddox sighed a little, bringing his hand up to gently rest on Syana's head and pet her hair as she clung to him, trying decide on how he should explain it to her. At the same time, her words were making him want to stay, though he knew he had no real place there - much less a spot at her side. It had become painfully apparent that Syo fit there much better than he did (and he believed he knew why the other man (Thomas, was it?), has suddenly disappeared.
"You are my only friend here, Syana," he confirmed, ignoring the rabbit as he suppressed the urge to give it a good crack to the skull, "most do not want me here... Do not trust me..." His eyes flickered briefly towards Mokona, "and someone like me never had any place here, anyways. I do not deserve you as a friend, Syana, and the path I walk is a dangerous one... A path that I do not wish you to follow..." He quietly pointed out, uncertain of why he was sugar coating it as he was.
"I just want you to be happy and safe... Perhaps you do not see it now, but it is for the best that I... leave..." Maddox softly pointed out, shaking his head a bit, "being in contact with someone like me is not a good thing, Syana, I live in a different world than you... A much darker, more dangerous world."

Syana listened to him, slowly moving her hand up to his and holding the side, her fingers pressing against his palm and she gazed up at him with two sad green eyes before closing them and just sighing. She held back the tears that forced themselves into her eyelids and just swallowed slightly. "It's not fair..." she stated softly, looking up at him with green eyes that glistened with tears and a vision blurred by the liquid that rolled from her eyelids.
"You have more than just me, Maddox. A lot of people cares about you, even Mokona himself. He just doesn't show it." She said slowly, trying to smile behind the tears that forced themselves onto her face. Her lips quivering. "You're not a dark person, Maddox. You're a light, like me." she held out her other hand, creating a green ball on it that circled and the faint transparent wings appeared on her back once more. "You were there for me when I was alone, guided me to freedom. I see you more than I saw Syo and Thomas.." she remembered Thomas, looking down. She realized she missed him dearly, but she wasn't going to let that break her focus. She wanted Maddox to stay.
"You're my best friend, my mentor and my first kiss." she shuffled awkwardly, looking up at him still.
Mokona stared at her. "First kiss?"

Maddox frowned a bit as he noticed that she was fighting to keep herself composed, making his heart ache a little bit. "C'mon, I'm trying to do the right thing for once," he softly whispered, one hand reaching up to pull the cloth away from his mouth, allowing it to sag limply around his throat, as he leaned down, pressing a kiss to her forehead.
"No, I am very much a source of darkness. Perhaps you do not see it, but I am," he murmured, now stroking her hair lightly, "my intention is not to leave you alone... It is to protect you..." He mumbled, reassuringly, though her words about Thomas and Syo gave him pause.
"That is also a part of the problem," he admitted, frowning and leaning back a little on his feet, "when it comes to you, Syana, I do not wish to be second best, nor do I wish to share the spot as your favorite..." Maddox's voice trailed off, sounding a little angsty, he furrowed his brows a bit, the expression fading as he listened to her neck words.
"...Am I?" He questioned, his green eye only about half open as he stared down at her. After a few long moments he shook his head a bit, trying to push the thought from his mind, finding it a tad too distracting as he was already fighting internally with himself.

Syana closed her eyes as he kissed her forehead, feeling the warmth of his lips against her skin and just watched him before nodding a little. "You're no darkness in my eyes, Maddox. I would of known if you were bad, I've grown up with those kinds of problems my whole life." she pointed out slowly. "Plus I trust you so much and you became a hero to me."
When he spoke about Syo and Thomas, Syana sighed. "I never see Thomas anymore and Syo and I are just childhood friends or at least I think so anyway." she murmured slightly, deciding to not admit that she could possibly "Like" Syo too.
She trailed off as Maddox questioned if he was her first kiss. She instantly felt the blush sting her cheeks as she remembered sitting in the hall with the feeling of his lips to hers and the feeling of butterflies and her heart racing. She nodded a little and looked to the side. "The only person who I've ever kissed was my father and that was when he went on trips..." She admitted. She admittedly wanted to kiss him again, she missed it but never admitted.

"Syana, I have killed many people," he quietly stressed to her, shaking his head a little, "I am a bad person. I am an assassin for hire. I kill people for money. How much badder than that does it get?" He frowned deeply, not entirely sure what he wanted anymore.
As she spoke of Syo, Maddox shook his head softly, "Syo has the same sort of feelings towards you as I do," he pointed out, staring down at her, "the two of us wish to be the only man in your life, that much about him is transparent," he chuckled a little, sadly, "if I were to stay, sooner or later you would have to choose just one of us, and let the other go... I am just saving you that hardship," he quietly assured. Though it depressed him, and he usually had a great deal of arrogance, he just could not see himself winning against her childhood friend. How could he possibly compete with that? How could an assassin, a cold blooded killer, possibly stand a chance, or even deserve a chance, with a princess like Syana.
"I see," he mumbled, in regards to the kiss, "well, I admit that I like the thought of that..." He murmured, actually quite pleased that he had 'stolen' her first kiss (from Syo).
