Lord Windos Wrote...) With bracing immediacy the brimstone imp stomp over and interposed herself between her two friends, giving them both a gimlet stare as she ground out her take on the matter.
"Enough."
Turning towards Kee, her stare turned unimpressed and displeased. "Much as you dislike it, disagree with what he has said, Kogeki brought up a good and wise point, yes. If Mightless Conkeldurr could make a Trap to waylay and harm to would be thieves of his plunder, why can't another Pokemon do the same or worse as him, especially one so wicked and dangerous as Machamp, if we choose to believe what they claim? As for the matter-idea of....dealing with our enemies and foes so permanent and in finality a way, you can find and voice other ways of disagreement, of dissent, that are not so rude, hostile, and unfriendly, I believe-think. Much less and far from picking a fight over it in such times and situations like now and make it more-all pointless for it, indeed. Finally, thusly for now, you're our Leader presently, Kee. Part of that trusted task, regiven responsibility, is to command-guide-discuss wisely and fairly. Do that, be that, not this." (...)


Oh... Being scolded like that by the firely demoness causes Ziggy Kee to stop in digging in the pile, hand his head a little, drop his fuzzy ears and turn all meek and tiny. Yet however he can't help but to huff-sigh a bit, but from the tone of his voice he means it/is honest in his apology. "Sorreh for tha trouble, Pyra-dear... Sorreh 'f I snapped at ya, K'geki."

Another huff-sigh, then Kee scratches himself behind the yellow-tipped ear with a paw to overplay some nervosity. "Ya're right, ya're right, other Pokemon can do tha same or w-worse, whatever. That's nat my issue... Am just, well, kinda sensitive towards tha topic of death, killin' fellow Pokemon or takin' another's life, 'ncluding yar own. Somethin' 'bout it makes me 'specially uncomfortable, ya see... It stirs up somethin' within me." He places his right paw on his beating heart. "Can't 'xplain nor do I fully 'nderstand it, but I suspect it havin' t'do with my former human self, ya know... Past experiences? Foggy memories? Dunno." He shrugs, feeling a little lost. "Can't promise me nat acting sensitive or overreactive 'bout that topic, really nat, pwease forgive me for that, k? Best thing I can do is keeping mahself in check t'nat let mah emotions get tha better or me. THAT'S what I gonna do. What YA can do is t'please nat take it personally shall I struggl' or fail t'do so... K? Sounds good? Am kinda sorreh there Pyra, t'wards ya too K'geki, hopin' that ya now 'nderstand." To emphasize that, he gives the deltadoggo a gentle headbutt and the demoness a timid eskimo-kiss.

Kee’s first round of apologies did little to ease the mixture of ire and disappointment she felt, but his following acceptance and explanation caused her to gradually ease up a bit. His lack of understanding about his feelings in particular resonated with her, causing the imp to cock her head at him in curiosity and empathy. By the end of the smol coon’s speech…well, Pyra was not pleased , per say, but, as she heaved out a *sigh* and reached down to return his affections with a tussle of his head her, she felt ‘ better ‘ about things.

“…Oh very well, as you wish, my dear Kee. Just remember my bold words, your own meek confessions, and be-act as a great Leader like you can be. Though it may be, if I may honor your request, then you in turn must do as you ask us to. Should we stray ‘wrongly’ in your eyes, do things, cause things, say things, any thing that you find wanting and wanton, don’t take it personally, to heart. Let yourself- let us be understanding and accepting of each other in all and our entirety, as much as we can. If you feel you have to disagree, refrain and avoid doing it so harshly, and help find a way for us to get along once more. Is that fair and good, Punk Star Kee?”

Still didn’t want to help him out, however. Forgiven did not equate to a lack of punishment, no matter how earnest and sincere the one is at fault in repentance.

Kogeki at first looked a bit angry at Pyra words...He clench his first at first. But...he remember to calmdown to listen and digest every word about what Pyra said.

They might need to face a difficult battle ahead and might meet some nasty traps...but perhaps he should have point his words in a more nice way or at least in a better way. Pyra have a point. As also Kee.

Kogeki than do something. He grab his kunai and put in front of him. And then he kneel. "No...I should be the one to apologize Kee...And I also should apologize you Pyra. I...dont remember much of my old life...But I have a feeling I remember: To become the stronger. Enough to not loose anything. Strong enough to not let pain or anything else be taken away from me...I...Dont really know why I have this...feeling of need of power...But...I dont want to loose anything again. And not loose to anyone...And I know how much the world can be cruel. And there always people willing to take away what you care most."

"You people...you people is what I have the most close thing to...friends. And I know there is lots of people, or pokemon, who dont valuable life and will be willing to kill any of you. Thats why I sometimes so willing...end lifes. I...just dont want to loose anything...Loose any of you..."

Every words Kogeki carry honesty. And such words...are such a rare display of genuine honest and weakness...He might with them just for a days, but some of the team mates Kogeki make a bond in their human lifes. Even if Kogeki dont remember their previous lifes, or from where it came that feeling of become stronger or to not loose anything.
Kee words and the gentle headbutt was enough to make Kogeki see Kee with other eyes. He open his eyes and look at him...and to finally say some words. "You forgiven Kee...I hope you also understand my position too. But...I promise to...try be a better person. I can't promise I will not seek strengh. But I promise to not end lifes...only if everything else fails. You have my word."

Kogeki’s solemn words, meanwhile, were meet with a imperious, Steely look that would be the envy of a Vespiqueen, before she gave him a slow nod back, appearing…..sastisfied, if still in a MOOD.

“…Good. Very good. Remember that, in all, Kogeki. Our friendship, our friends, ARE the most important to us all, beyond our Quest and own goals. Nothing is worth tarnishing and damaging those bonds, so take great care to keep them whole and pure. Strength is important, but…not if it costs you everything you wish to use it, on and for.”

His subsequent vow of mercy to Kee earns him a frown, as not only did she think it was a rather unreasonable one (regardless of circumstances), but it also invalidate his earlier commitment to helping her. The fiery demoness doesn’t say anything about this for now, however, as she didn’t want to spoil the moment or start another argument among everyone. Later, though……
