Seymour silent agreed with Tai Ling. Yuna had been of exceptional beauty, with the grace and poise that paired most appropriately with her position. Though this beauty had taken a back seat to his ambition to become Sin, it was still as undeniable as ever. His thoughts were disrupted as Tai Ling entered a biologically-induced fit of pain, though he made no show of it.
Now, Seymour cared very little whether or not this woman died. At the moment, however, he could hardly allow her to be hospitalized before she could complete her research. She claimed that the pain would pass, but he could not take that risk. The former Maester raised a hand, so that the palm was directed at her back. With minimal concentration he formed a cure spell. Such magic could hardly bring an end to disease, but her fit would pass by much smoother this way. Any damage done would be minimal.
He quickly used the magic and went back as he had been, so as to divert suspicion when she turned around. Nobody knew about his magic yet, and combined with his inhuman appearance it could bring about some unwanted lines of inquiry that he did not want introduced just yet.

She could feel the pain moving from her chest to her back,then as fast as it came it disappered.What had just happened to her,well whatever it was she was relieved the pain was gone at least for now.Regaining her posture,she turned her body so she was facing Seymour then looked at the floor.
"I'm sorry,heck what am I saying you don't care".
Tai Ling gathered up her things,taking one last look at her friend before going out of the room.She had this feeling just creep over her,but it soon disappered.Going to the lab door she entered the access code and then went inside,putting the notes and tubes down and sighing.The one with the contagian was at the research facility,she just hoped no one has found it.
Heading out of the lab she headed back towards the hospital room,stopping at the door.She was going to finish up some thing's here,then head home for the evening or stay here all night and go back to the research facility.

Seymour simply chuckled, his gaze returning to the comatose youth on the bed. “But to the contrary,” he said to nobody in the empty room, “I found it rather entertaining.” He remained a little longer, his eyes staring longingly at his new catalyst. She was no more than a living weapons manufacturing plant in his mind, and one who would bring about the end of the refugees.
She would not be enough though. When people considered what he did, most thought they could just get some big guns and that would be enough. What they never considered, however, was that the human mind was more than enough. Give them reason to doubt one another, and in a matter of days they were in the streets bashing their neighbor’s heads in. Such was the nature of release.
With a final parting glance, Seymour turned and departed.
(If you weren't done find a reason to stop Seymour. It just looked like a conclusion.)

"Wait......don't go,I......".
Oh for peats sake why was she being such a baby,why was she acting like this.She hated this man with every fibre of her being,she couldn't stand him yet why was she asking him not to leave.Was it because she had been lonely for someone,yet the head of the capital was someone who gave punishment and didn't have a damn heart.
"Stay......".
Pull yourself together girl,he wasn't interested in her.He only wanted her to do research,report things and now use the resources to try and make a cure.And since she was the only one who had access to these things,he would need her around for just that.

With one foot literally out of the door, the Guado paused. With one foot frozen in the air he turned his head to face the woman. This was....a surprise, to say the least. He had the impression that Tai Ling hated his guts, and yet here she insisted that he stay. She was no the kind to have an ulterior motive concerning any one individual, so....
Turning, he withdrew from the door. “Oh?” He slowly approached, though kept a respectable distance as he did so. “Is there something you require of me, then?” He was quite curious what it was she could possibly want with him. It certainly wasn’t the honor of basking under her glorious leader.

"I want the truth,please tell me your not using me...for my research".
Tai Ling didn't want to be taken advantage of,but if this also meant she could get closer to the leader she could see what is going on that no one else know's about.Up until now she had be defiant,she had hated him because of the way he runs things in the capital.There we're so few that knew about his true motives,but even then she barely knew herself.
"I hate you make no mistake about that,yet then again I don't for some reason".
She waited to see what he would say,would he catch on from the way she was speaking.She wanted to be close to him,but not too close.A fair distance,but at the same time really really close for her own reasons she would not mention.

Seymour looked truly amused at this line of questioning. She had guessed his intent spot-on, but it was his job to make sure that she did not know that. “What you are asking me, then, is if I value you as a human being?” He laughed softly at this, as a father might when asked by his child if all water was wet.
“I assure you that I am sympathetic to your plight. Your wish to do this for your friend....I respect that.” The Guado allowed a sigh to escape his lips. “As the one placed as head of administration of the Capital, I am forced to make hard decisions on a daily basis. That people would dislike me for them is not unexpected.” He spread his hands from each other, in serene take on a “bring it” sort of motion. “If you have something to say, then say it as if I were anyone else. Speak your mind.”

"That is all I wanted to know".
She seemed satisfied with that answer,so she would take her leave now.But that wouldn't stop her from getting close to the head of the capital,she was doing this for her friend and she was going to get her better.Even if it took a long time for a cure to be produced,she has all the resources now to make it better and not work in that cramped lab.Tai Ling took a step foreward,a stern look on her face she then stopped right by his side saying in a low whisper.
"Marry me.....".
If he wanted to keep a eye on her progress,and wanted her to stop being so defiant why not marry her to keep her in tabs.If he chose to it was clearly up to him,even if there was not to be any romance.She tapped the side of her cheek lightly,awaiting to hear his answer which she seemed very interested in hearing.

Seymour was legitimately surprised by this, though the only indication was a sudden blinking of the eyes. So that was what you were speaking of earlier, was it? He let the question hang in the air for a moment, instilling a certain amount of tension. His last marriage had led to his death, though the circumstances were different this time around. The offer was almost amusing. He would be sure to milk it for all it was worth.
However, instead of instantly accepting, he replied with a question. “You realize, of course, that should I accept the public would recognize your marriage to Judge Seymour and not the administrator of the Capital?”

"That is fine with me,whatever you wish".
It was better then anything,even though it would be a marriage not full of love she didn't care.Who knew when would be the next time she would feel pain throughout her body,the sooner she found a cure the quicker those infected would also be healed.And for now she would also focus on her current work as well,trying to help the refugees and keeping tabs on them.
"Don't disappoint me,I know how valueable my work is to you".
Not only hers but Hojo's as well,he always seemed to be one step ahead of her though.Crossing her arms she glanced sideways to Seymour,he was up to something but the question is what he was indeed up to.Tai Ling would probably never know,then again things have a way of changing.

Seymour was entertained by the implied threat Tai Ling set down for him. She had always had a bit of nerve, and that it would carry over into a marriage proposal was something to applaud. He would go along with what she said, if only to gain her continued compliance. As soon as she was done here he felt he might have to discard her though, as he doubted she would allow her research to be used in the way he planned.
The Guado turned to face her, the smile still gracing his lips. “Tai Ling, if it would bring you joy in these dark times, I accept your proposal. I would feel no greater courage to know that you were by my side.”

"Courage that's a funny way to put it,isn't it suppose to be no greater pleasure".
She stifled a giggle,either he was rusty at talking or he was just getting a kick out of saying that.Oh well marriage was marriage,even if it was one not filled with love and devotion and being there for eachother.She was just the woman who gave results,and he was the one who ran this capital behind veiled curtains only saying he is a Judge.
"There is no greater joy,then being married".

Seymour half-stifled a chuckle of his own, as if in embarrassment over his odd choice of wording. Instead it was over the irony of the situation. Courage. It was the word he had used, and the word he had meant. Assuming all went as intended, she would find out just what he had meant. Like Yuna before her, Tai Ling was a tool.
The former Maester simply stroked his chin for a moment, then replied in his serenade of a voice “Indeed. There is no greater joy....”
(So what if it sucked? Take it or leave it.
