Rumble gets up and turns towards Titus. He growls at the admiral and raises his eyebrow. Rumble pokes Titus in the stomach once before speaking, glaring at him throughout the whole time.
"Ya know, if you're gonna try to place the blame on me, you can at least come up with better insults, ya flopeared fibber! Now quit being a wuss about this and man up to your actions!"

Slowly, the scout captain was getting darker and much more sinister. His patients was quickly fading away with all of the lives. Very violently he uses his free hand to grip the admiral's groin and lift him into a horizontal position off the ground, promptly turning his body and smashing his back onto the nearby wall so that he is upside down and falls onto his head. Then Teemo gets over him, hunkers down and grabs Titus by the scruff of his neck. His eyes were filled with rage, as well as a hint of fear.
"Answer the question. Before I lose my patience and punish you."
Titus turns to Rumble, attempting to be brave but anyone can notice how shaky he is.
"Wuss!?...I'll show you who..."
But Titus couldn't finish the sentence as he is flung into a wall upside down. Then gravity took over and his head takes the hit on the ground. He tries to get back up but Teemo has Titus pinned by the neck. He had it and lets it loose.
"PAGE FOURTEEN!"
"You....you League champions are all alike...scary...mean...mean..."

Teemo thinks for a moment, going through what was written on the fourteenth entry as Titus' words rang in the scout's ears. He releases his grip and drops to his knees, all emotion leaving his expression. The memories flashed in his mind, and after a few moments the emotionless husk of Teemo starts to crack at succumb to the sadness, tears slowly welling. His eyes never waver from the ground and he slumps his back, lowering his head slightly in shame.
Titus gets up and cleans his armor and boots before looking at the emotionless Swift Scout. He could sense something heavy on Teemo. He looks at his eyes and starts to connect his feelings to his. He could remember what happened at page fourteen. He leans down to Teemo to comfort him.
"That page. It was...from that mission...wasn't it...Tommy...yea. I know what it feels like, Captain Teemo."
He understood warfare very well...too well where losing one sailor is like losing his entire family. War is hell as one would say and losing a brethren is too painful to comprehend.

The scout wraps his arms around Titus, burying his face in the admirals shoulders. It was obvious from the heaving shoulders and sniffling that Teemo was crying, still so upset over what had happened. He didn't speak, and only held his fellow officer tightly.
He hugs Teemo tightly. The admiral knew of the mission very well. And the report of what happened. He saw Tommy's family bawling when one of the soldiers appeared in front of their doorsteps. He was there to watch...from afar and unseen by others.
_______________________________________________
But he could have sworn that Teemo remained unmoved by what happened. He remembered when the leader of the Army and Titus eyed him curiously.
"No remorse? Is he meant to be a cold blooded killer?" He thought while he was eyeing Teemo on the day when the Swift Scout was reporting back on the mission results. After Teemo removed himself from the scene, he could remember the general and Titus looking at each other.
"Tommy," the general stated. "He was one of our bravest...we lost a brother, Titus." He could remember only giving a nod and stating about Teemo's emotionless face.
"He will be missed....but did you notice Teemo? No emotion. It might be problematic," Titus said to the general.
"Well he might be focused on the mission. You're right. He's...odd but the mission is done and he completed it."
______________________________________________
Now Titus is witnessing the true side of Teemo. The death of Tommy has finally overwhelmed him and Titus can feel it too, relating to his past life and what he has done up to now. He takes Teemo off his shoulders and looks him in the eye. He wipes off the tears and tries to calm him down.
"Teemo...I'm really sorry about it. I know how it feels losing someone you love, your comrade, your brother...and he served our city-state very well...died protecting it...look. You will lose more of your friends, Teemo. The Scouts will live with you, will bleed with you, will die for you. Tommy has signed his life to Bandle City and to the Scouts of the Mothership. I...I don't want anymore tears running down to your eyes. Do you understand me..."
He pauses and puts his hands on the shoulder. Titus is the second commander to see the emotional side of the Swift Scout.
"I know how it feels..."
((How do you get that "Rainbow" thing to appear on your profile?))

Teemo looks at Titus, the tears seceding and his breathing returning to somewhat normal. He blinks a few times and gives one last sniffle, letting his expression mellow again.
"I... I don't let my emotions get in the way. I can't. My performance is dependent on the stability of my mind in order for me to succeed at my mission in the most efficient way. But... sometimes... it's just a little much when it all comes back to you. Never being able to let it go. Memories haunting you in your sleep..."
He sighs and turns his gaze to the ground for a moment before looking up at the admiral again.
"I don't cry often. I can keep the sadness away from others, like always. Sometimes writing in my journal helps. I think that maybe... someday I'll publish my journal into another book, one where people can understand me a little better on the inside, rather than... the hard-built killer I am on the outside."
Teemo pauses again, thinking to himself. When he speaks again, his voice is still very casual.
"Oh, and by the way... if I catch you reading my journal again..."
Suddenly the scout has a fist held up to Titus' throat and he's leering down into his eyes as a warning.
"I'll gut you before you have time to remember who your mother is."
((It's a title that the admins gave me. They just do it randomly I guess...))
((Oh, okay!)) The knuckle is too close for comfort for Titus. He's beginning to panic once more.
"Yea...yea...yea..."
But this time he's going to give Teemo a retaliatory warning.
"You can do that...and the entire military will be hunting you down for killing a military officer...who has yet to find a wife...and still have years to go! DON'T KILL ME!"
Titus notices himself ranting again and calms himself down.
"But don't worry...I'm a sensible person..."
He gives out a smile to Teemo. "But I still wanna know what's on page three..."

Rumble, who was watching the entire scene the whole time, decides to not get involved in the situation between Teemo and Titus. Rumble rolls his eyes and goes back to sit down against the tree trunk. He makes a mental note to not take Teemo's journal without permission.

Fizz, looking at the scene from a distance, chuckles at the angry reaction of Teemo at first. The Scout and Rumble could probably recognize his laugh, but he quickly quieted down when things turned more sad. He shrugs and leans back against trident, looking at the scene, his face hidden by the wide-brim hat he brought and the rest of him inside a long coat still.
"Ya know, this isn't what I was expectin' to see when visiting the 'Friendliest City on Valoran'. I think that advertisement maybe isn't exactly accurate, but what do I know?"

Teemo leers at Titus a little longer, making sure he gets the message. Eventually he lowers his fist and wraps his arms around the admiral again, resting his chin on the epaulets of Titus' suit.
"It's alright, Titus. I'm not gonna kill you. Just don't go digging in my journal again, okay?"
In an attempt to calm the officer down, Teemo pats the admiral's back and rubs it a little.

Rumble's ears picks up Fizz's chuckle, but Rumble only slightly glances at the direction where the chuckle came from. If Rumble had paid full attention to the disguised Fizz, he could instantly determine that Fizz was under disguise, but Rumble was tired and paid almost no heed to Fizz and his chuckle. Rumble simply yawned and glanced at the scenery beside him.
"Okay...so...sniff...well...how do you...sniff..."
Unusual. He smell something fishy...and salty. Either he really misses the Navy or he's really near to the coast, which is impossible since Titus' house is miles inward.
"Something smells fishy? Rumble. Did you seen anything?"
