Players: @userluna​ & Achilles

Achilles cursed under his breath as he opened the paneling on the wall. Hoping that he could some how make it a little more comfortable in her room. He had woken up in his chair with a sheen of sweat on his brow. Tonight, he had stayed in Luna’s room, again. The nurses had shooed him away countless times. However, they didn’t know how stubborn the guild master could be. So as soon as the coast was clear, he would head to one of his guild mates room and camp out there for the rest of the night. He had learned the nurse rotation ( remembering it himself when he had been stuck here so many months ago) The way he figured it, he could sit with Luna for several hours before a nurse made their way back.  Plenty of time.

Lecture Hall (Pt 1)

Rowan eyes landed on the sullen face of Ophelia in the front row of the lecture hall. Not at all surprised that she had spoken up now; she often made it a habit of giving her two cents in the middle of his lectures. If it wasn’t for the fact that she was arguably one of his best students… he would have kicked her out of his lectures a long time ago.

“By all mean Miss Sousa,” he said a smirk on the corner of his lips as he crossed his arms. “ Beguile us with your thoughts.” stretching his hand out for her to continue. 

She raised a brow, placing her pen down. Leaning towards him almost in a challenge. “ Had someone not been brave enough to do what was needed then nothing would have changed. It’s not pretty but it was necessary, isn’t that more important.” 

“ Sure. I’m sure that's how dictators spun it too.” he chuckled, garnering a few chuckles from his ethics class. “So my next question Miss Sousa. Where does it stop? If we approach it with your view in mind, that atrocities are a necessary product to obtain the by product of good, what’s to stop the world from breaking out into chaos. When is enough, enough?”

Rowan eyes scanned the room,  Ophelia remained quiet as did the rest of the class. “ It’s a slippery slope isn’t it? When the only way to obtain peace is through monstrous deeds. Thats when a person or nations ethical standing comes into play even more. Because the answer to that question is unknown. We are govern by our own moral compass. The dictator that said the spilling of innocent blood is needed for survival will have people who fall in line because logic says that one plus one equals two. Ethics forces people to look beyond the logic to find truth in the grey area and govern their behavior   according to their moral principles .”  His gaze landed back on Ophelia now, eyes kind and warm. “Any one else like to add onto Miss Sousa’s comment?”

It had been a busy day for the pair. Achilles had gotten Luna up at the buttcrack of dawn- something that she wasn’t happy about and showed it by the profanity she hurled at him as well as a couple of her pillows.  Still, after finally wrangling her out of bed with the promise of coffee and some muffins Padme had made. The two were on their way. He had taken her to a couple of meetings he had with other guild masters. Told her to listen, to watch and even to take notes when she could and if she thought it was important enough. After which, he grilled her about what her thoughts on things were...

“ You can’t just not have an opinion Luna,”

“I gave you my opinion.” 

“No you said and I quote, ‘ Just cut them down a knotch or two that should do the trick.’ That’s not an opinion its damn near a declaration of war... “

It was a rocky start but the more they did, the more they talked about how to improve things. Seriously considering her ideas and her thoughts she gave to him.  Achilles was positive he was right about having Luna as an option for a second. When he had first met Luna, a solo player on her own but a powerful one. He saw the potential in her then. She was still rough around the edges, still had a few things to learn, skills that could be improved upon. However, whatever doubts he might have were swayed when he thought about Elektra. She hadn’t been ready to step up for guild master but she did and even though it wasn’t easy and she was still learning, Elektra had all the tools she needed; in Achilles eyes so did Luna.
