OoC: It's a bit shorter than I would've liked, but it got everything I wanted to say across. Sorry if I made Valkhyn sound a bit quiet in this post, Lunchy, I figured he'd still be somewhat stunned. ...And I'm no good with dialogue. XD

BiC: Bella stared in horror at the empty spacesuit. It had been so sudden – one minute a living human being had been there, and next… nothing. Her hands automatically came up to cover her mouth, forgetting her helmet was in the way.

A cracked voice jerked her gaze away from the suit. “What have I done? I… I killed him!” His voice rose to a hysterical shriek. “Oh my god, I killed him!” He was collapsed on the ground, overcome with grief and remorse.

Bella felt for the lad. He had obviously never had to kill before; this would be a hard thing for him to cope with. Tears of sorrow and pity leaked down her cheeks as she watched him.

Then suddenly, he sat up. He seemed to have come to a decision. Bella watched, puzzled, as he shakily lifted his hands up to his helmet. The Hylian then realized what he intended to do, and realized at the same time there was no way she could get over to him in time. She glanced around, looking for something she could use to stop him.

“Forgive me father, for I have sinned…” These words had barely left his mouth when a large rock hit him square in the chest, throwing him back.

“What the HELL do you think you’re doing?” Bella yelled out, running – or bouncing – over to him.

He sat up and stared shakily at her. “Well I…”

Bella didn’t let him finish. “Do you really think that will make anything better? You think suicide is a good way to show remorse? Doing that is only taking the easy way out; to truly repent means you must continue to live and try to make up for your actions.” She looked down at him, and her voice softened. “You’re upset, and sad, but such things happen when you live your life as a fighter. You must learn to deal with it in your own way, and then move on.”

The archer held out a hand to help him up. “In the mean time, we are in the middle of a fight, and something tells me our opponent is a bit less understanding of the situation, so I suggest you pull yourself together, and quickly.” She smiled at him. “You’ll find a way to deal with this, just don’t give up so soon.” She stepped away, ready to begin the fight. “My name is Bella, by the way.”
