[IC] Swords Beneath the Starlight

Casey is a bit taken off guard by this most recent outburst. If his suspicions about Lien are right, he should feel frustrated, angry even that she'd deign to ask him for help in restoring the League. What he actually feels is something more akin to confusion. What good could he do in a situation like this, anyway? More importantly, what reason does she have for keeping someone like him alive? He simply can't make sense of it, and Lien's inability to meet his eyes creates an unpleasant feeling in his gut. In his mind, he curses himself. On the outside, he rests a hand firmly on Lien's shoulder, flashing her a smile.



"Well, the way things are now I'm sure our situations aren't so different anymore," he tells her. "Though, a man like me might not be satisfied with things returning to the way they used to be, you know."
