How troublesome...

...?Astrid scowled, her annoyance evident on her face. Why would he even come back here after brutally attacking defenseless people? Really, it was a dumb idea to even come here. Why she thought it'd be a good idea was beyond her. She had probably missed him back at the hospital, but that was pretty unlikely as he seemed intent on going far away from her and the building and that her perception for finding things was pretty high. If he was at the hospital, she'd see him, it's not like there was crowds of people continually walking around outside on the sidewalks. So her next choice was to check the school. She still didn't know why she decided on this course of action. Maybe intuition, following a whim? Yeah, Astrid was going to attribute it to something stupid like that. Sighing, she had turned around and began walking out toward the town, which was her next destination, when she heard something heavy land behind her. Tuning around, it was... someone she didn't know. It was a different form of Hyouinmaru than Astrid had seen, so she didn't have any reason to think that this person now looking at her would be the man she was looking for at all. His sudden appearance made her frown, and concerned why he would suddenly approach her like that out of the blue? What did he want? And why such a dramatic entrance? With his larger stature and, frankly, pissed off expression, Astrid was half expecting a fight. Meaning she definitely wasn't expecting the words that he spoke to come out of his mouth. At first, his words didn't make sense. Why would some random dude she didn't know be apologizing for what happened at the hospital? It's not like this guy could have known what went down in Skylar and Alejandro's room. Maybe he was confusing her with someone else who just so happened to have some sort of argument a few hours ago? But then it dawned on Astrid, that maybe this was Hyouinmaru. It would make sense, his attitude toward her and his apology about what happened. What was with his appearance then? She had no idea he could look like this, then again she barely knew him as it was. Another moment passed and another realization hit her, that maybe, just maybe, this was what he looked like when he attacked Skylar. With his unhappy expression, he sure seemed like he'd be itching to bash someone's face in, even an innocent girl who literally did nothing wrong. But, Astrid wasn't here to argue anymore. She told Alejandro she'd apologize, because he was right in that she needed to, so that's what she was gonna do. Swallowing her pride, Astrid took her rifle off her back, setting it against the nearby fence before facing Hyouinmaru again, taking a deep breath before speaking?...
"I know. You're right. I overreacted, and I'm sorry. I can get protective of Skylar sometimes, and I know the things she's been through, and I just don't want anything bad to ever happen to her. Alejandro told me how much you're beating yourself up over hurting Skylar, so maybe you didn't do it all completely on purpose, even though you totally did... but, if Skylar can forgive you, maybe I can try as well. I just... I don't want her getting hurt, is all. But it seems that my harboring hate toward you is doing no good for her, so I wanted to say I'm sorry."

Hyouinmaru Ishida
~ Skin of Steel and Heart of Ice
Hyouinmaru stared at Astrid, a expressionless look on his face. Well he'd consider it expressionless. Right now he seemed as if he were frowning. He sighed lightly as he listened to Astrid talk. For someone as annoying as her, she could damn sure talk when it wasn't need. In all his years of living, no one gave an apology that long before. When she finished talking, he fixed his gloves and cracked his knuckles.
"You should never give someone like me an apology that long. I tend to lose interest when people do... Luckily for you, I wanted to hear you out."
Hyouinmaru then held his hand out for Astrid to shake. He definitely didn't want to do this, but he had no choice. He wanted to end this stupidity for good.
"Here. Shake my hand and consider this done."
