((For Rays Awesomeness)) WW2 RP

[Rayleonarde]

Ray shrugged. "I don't have enough money to buy three tickets. I'd much rather you and Herman stay together, than you and I...and as for you staying? Don't even think about it."

[Aconitum]

Herman sighed. "Magnolia, look. You and Rayleonarde go. I have to stay, I have to die here." He let his ears drop. Magnolia looked at Herman in horror. "What are you saying?" She demanded. Herman stuck his paws in his pockets. "Mags... I'll get the money to catch up and if I don't die before then, I'll be right behind you."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray looked at Herman, confused. He wasn't sure what his friend was on about, and was curious.

[Aconitum]

Magnolia snarled at Herman. "You're an idiot." Herman signed and looked at her with a coy smile. "Magnolia, every man of any kind of respect in my family has died in battle. What will it look like if I'm just abandoning all this. I'll try my best to stay alive long enough to catch up to you, but if I die here, it will have been what was meant to happen."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray sighed. "I see where you're coming from, Herman."

[Aconitum]

Magnolia looked to Ray in disbelief. "Rayleonarde, you can't be serious." Herman shook his head. "Ray, please just take her and get her out of here." Herman grabbed Magnolia's shoulders and kissed her before he turned and left without another word.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray put his arm around Magnolia, trying to console her, as he walked the opposite direction from Herman, towards the train station. "Come on, Magnolia." He felt awful for pulling apart such a loving couple, and even more that they were the closest things to friends he had.

[Aconitum]

Magnolia's tears flowed down her cheeks as they made their way to the station. She watched Herman disappear in the distance.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray held Magnolia closer, and walked into the station. He payed for the tickets, and shepherded her into a seat. Ray sat across from her, holding her paws in his. "M-Magnolia...I'm sorry."

[Aconitum]

Magnolia stared at her paws, motionless as tears were still flowing off of her chin. "What if he doesn't..."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray sighed. "No, Herman will survive, and endure. I promise you, you and Herman will be together."

[Aconitum]

Magnolia let out a laugh that was slightly faltered by sobbing. "I don't know what to say to you. I wanna tell you but I can't. Herman knows and only wants my happiness, but I can't do this to him. I don't know. Why, Rayleonarde. Why are you doing thus to me?"

[Rayleonarde]

Ray sighed, and hugged Magnolia. "Herman wants you to survive, to have children. He thought you would...I...I  don't know..." He released Magnolia, and looked down. A tear fell from his muzzle. "I...I'm sorry, Magnolia."

[Aconitum]

Magnolia sniffled and wiped her face with her sleeve. "What is and what will be will soon be meaningless. Said the sun to the ancient tandem war elephant." She quipped, bringing her knees close to her chest.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray patted her shoulder, and leaned back, closing his eyes. "Now is all that matters."
