The broken gear

Agreement

Nelle whispered the words and started to have a partially glowing and somewhat faint stream of light flow towards Thomas.

"You just have to have something for everything I throw at him don't you?" said the visitor as she send a mist-like substance towards Nelle.

Nelle put her hand out and it turned from a dull black into a golden coloration glittering in the air. They combined to make golden spikes in the air which seemed as if they could be made entirely of glitter. They all pointed to the visitor.

Thomas started to be able to understand his surroundings and his pain eased. Yet he still struggled to get up. He couldn't bring himself to hurt her. 

"You don't give up do you?" she said as if she were speaking to either Thomas, Nelle, or both. "Maybe I could've truly been wrong after all." She considered the fact that it truly could of been a misunderstanding. Unfortunately, she had trouble dissipating her hatred and exculpating him. At least she could think clearer now. She decided to try and see whether or not he was lying.

"I can't believe you support the slaughter of innocents."

"I don't, please," he strained "I just didn't want to hurt my parent's relations with yours." He slowly fell to his knees.

Now calmed, she could tell he was telling the truth. She relieved him of the Dark Heart ability she had used on him.

"I would like to apologize for my misdeeds, however if you do not wish to accept my apology then I can understand you decision." she said in a voice resembling the one at the start of her visit. She slightly but noticeably put her head down facing the ground. She seemed to be back to normal.

Nelle and Thomas didn't know what to do and were shaken up after their conflict. Thomas was breathing heavily while Nelle and the visitor seemed slightly exhausted. Arthur walked up the stairs to talk to them.

"Hey Thomas, it's time for-" he saw them catching their breath with their clothes lightly wrinkled from their fight. He could see a cracked vase, a fallen table stand and a messed up carpet. Thomas and Nelle turned faintly red looking for an excuse to hide their conflict while the visitor looked down even more and closed her eyes as if expecting repercussions.

Arthur didn't know what to say or think. "Wow Thomas, didn't know you would do that so soon, but um, I was told to bring you and your friends now down for dinner?" he said with visible confusion as he saw Nelle. "Who are you?"
