NOTE: As of 12/2016, Rey has adopted the alias "Fiona Stransky" when working with the Guard. Something to keep in mind, as Rey maintains a low profile with her involvement in the group. Other than what is mentioned in the Guard records, there is no trace of a "Fiona" identified on the network.
[Rey sighs. Much as the situation frustrates her, she can get where Carlisle is coming from. She has been through that road countless of times herself, justifying putting herself into precarious positions because she deserves it. Deserves to die. She is wicked.
[Stop.]
Guilt has a way of making people not think logically. It's hard to... "reprogram" yourself to see it any other way. Sometimes all you can do is just keep hammering the message in until it sticks.
[She drags a hand down her face in a tired gesture. This has been more than exhausting to have to deal with, just thinking about how long this has been going on and she had no idea. People trusted Shadow. Nick, Maketh -- he was involved with the Guard for some time. This is the opposite of what they're supposed to be about.]
[Glacius glowers for a few moments longer before his shoulders slump and he heaves a sigh.] I know. And I have been trying--but I am beginning to feel as though my advice is falling on deaf ears. What good am I to him if he will not listen to me, if I cannot help him with his burdens? He's been through enough of this sort of treatment already, and yet he still invites more of it.
[The ice alien sighs, massaging at his temples as he digests everything. He is an eternally patient being, and he doesn't mind going through the motions as many times as is needed... he just wishes he could see more results, sometimes, for all the reasons he's already stated to Rey.] Very well... I will not waver in my support. Hopefully one day, my partner can feel different about himself.
Thank you for taking time out to discuss all this with me, for helping me achieve a deeper understanding on all the facets of this... admittedly complicated issue. And thank you for agreeing to help me watch out for Carlisle, too. I... do appreciate it.
No problem. If you, um... need any help, or anything, you know how to reach me.
[She might be an outsider in this -- or, at least, very much feels like one -- Rey is also not one to sit by while letting someone be taken advantage of. It's just not right.]
Of course-- I appreciate the offer, and will likely take you up on it at some point. We cannot be too careful in this regard. And the least I can do is offer you the same in return; you have been helpful and supportive of me time and time again. Do not hesitate to ask me if you require assistance with something.
[He may not be entirely accustomed to speaking on them, but he's often better than he gives himself credit for when it comes to matters of the heart... and he's of course well-suited to dealing with external threats or problems. He trusts that Rey will know how to make use of him, should she at some point choose to.]
Of course. And you've been plenty helpful, too. Not many people could carry my dead weight like you did.
[Referring to the time she showed up at the Colosseum after her brief return trip home with a rebar run through her chest. A wound that would have undoubtedly been fatal to the average human. But she isn't average -- or human for that matter. The rules are a little different.]

[Fuck all knows how many people have tried to do the same for her, and it still has trouble sticking. Sure does suck, being a self-loathing asshole.]
