"Because we are deciding on whether or not we should kill you," the beast man replied. "You say you are here because you wish to be, and then talk about being under the command of another. We have decided, you are an idiot."
Udyr let out a loud snort and rolled his eyes. "If you are able to come here of your own accord, then you are not under anyone's whim. What is done, is done. What you do now is all that matters. They wish to bind you? Do not let them. They still try? You live, or you die. That was the answer to those very same questions that we asked ourselves when before we left our progenitors. Our answer was clear: Do as we wish, or succumb. What will you do?"
The proof that the state is a creation of nature and prior to the individual is that the individual, when isolated, is not self-sufficing; and therefore he is like a part in relation to the whole. But he who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god.
Sky scoffed at their decided opinion, rolling her eyes a bit, "You're right.. I'm an idiot." She admits, "It's... complicated.. If you knew the details, it might make more sense, but.." Shrugging, "'fraid I can't share those."
"Kill me if you want.. doesn't make a difference.. I don't want to die, but what's done is done.. like you said.." Pausing, Sky frowned deeply, "Can't change the past." Sky sat up, and began to unfasten the frog buttons on her cheongsam, soon stripping it off to reveal the dirty white tank top beneath. Noticeable blood stains upon it, specifically around her back. She turns a bit, bracing her legs around the branch so she could lean to the side offering him a clear view. Her arms wrapped about her, tugging the tank up to show off deep, pitted scars upon her shoulder blades looking recent and rather angry.
"I was given a gift.." She said, "..long time ago.. I lost control.. and Zed tore my wings out. The ties that bound me to it, were stolen away.. I can sense it still, but it's like.." She sighs, letting her shirt drop back down before turning to face Udyr, laying along the branch again with her legs hanging and her arms folded beneath her chin, "You probably don't care.. But I'd give anything to feel that connection again."
She assumed he'd ignore her, scoff at her, and either walk away or try to kill her by this point. Who knows.. Maybe she just needed to talk about it. Either way she didn't feel compelled to leave, or try to pick a fight. She just lazily lay there, watching Udyr.

"Then do something," was Udyr's blunt reply. "What will you do, in order to regain what you had lost? That is up to you to decide. The consequences will be yours, and that is that. Wishing and wanting will not achieve you anything. He tore your wings out, fine. That meant your desire to hold onto them did not outweigh his desire to possess you. Do something, or do nothing, there is no in between."
The beast man rotated his head about and let out another snort. "Talking most certainly will not help you attain either goal any quicker."

"He's a Champion." She protested, "How can I fight that? Every time I fight back, he beats me into submission. Does that mean I don't want my freedom?" She scowls, letting herself roll off the branch, nimbly straightening and landing with surprising skill. As she straightened, now looking up at the towering man, she frowned, "I know this is a bold question, and will likely get me punched or worse.. But.. I do want it back. At the very least the connection to it. I still have the marks that bind it to me, but it feels like the link has been severed. Maybe.. er.. well.." Reaching her hand back behind her head to rub it, "Can you.. help me?"
She waited, expected to be punched, run off or killed. She was beginning to think this man just didn't like her. But he was Lee's 'friend' or at least aquantence. At the very least maybe he'd be willing to put a little time in to try to help her sort things out.
Though she doubted it.
The young Ionian only stood about 5'3, and looked quite petite in comparison to the towering form of the Animal Spirit. From behind her, a small paper, origami crane would flutter its way forward before landing gently upon her shoulder. Sky glanced to the side and gave it a little smile as it nodded its little head forward, almost politely towards Udyr.

"No. We cannot." Udyr cracked his knuckles and pointed to the opposite direction of Sky. "The only person who can help you is yourself. Humor us, what are you going to do once you are done your run here? Once you taste your fleeting moments of freedom, where will you go? Will you continue to listen to the wind, or will you go back to your master like the dog you are?"
The beast man let out a snort, a gout of flame sparking momentarily. "If you want your freedom, make that choice. He will kill you if you do? Let him try. You die a free person rather than one chained. How can we help you? Do you wish for us to sunder him? To break you of your binds? How can we, when the only one binding themselves is yourself?"
Udyr suddenly, and literally, started to bark at Sky.
