It was only a matter of time for the aura of desires to fade away, the taste of anger remains on his mouth such as much his previous thoughts are still lingering on his mind. If anything, it unbalanced Huge the fact emotions took the best of him, that his core-self transpired to the surface only to reveal rage. This only proved his solid and principal motivation was one of darkness, a conflict yet to be won. That was Huge's true war, the only war he ever knew of.
But away with the inner thoughts and self-centered position on which Leonard stood by. He recovered whatever debriefs there was of his mind and faced the man's statement - "And you, friend." Friend - the word bounced a tremendous amount of times on every wall of his mind yet *friend* does not seem to apply to this creature. Eliot, he could be considered as one... "I hope whatever it is you search for--you find. A suggestion, though, is not to let your search keep you from seeing the world- It's easy to lose sight of the... Beautiful things-"
To that, Leonard knew exactly what to respond, "Beauty is a subjective perception- for we see as we are, not as it is in reality." as he has read it before-hand. But the clever respond, the logical one - it was cut off all too quickly when the man directed his entire attention towards Marie as if she was the one to stand as example of beauty itself. Regardless if it was truth or not, since that was not in question, Huge's mind would only see on her the reflection of his own sister - just as much he would look at any child. Perhaps it was what the man tried to express, or perhaps it was blunt attempt of a joke. Clearly, it will take time before he fully understood the rhetorical behind it.
Moreover. What came after this -- it began to bring a far worse scenario.
Something happened to Tim, the commander. Leonard could almost see through his trickery and deception, Anatoli was actually using some strange witchcraft in order to cage him. "How-" his mind made a step-back, the ambient itself became bigger than he thought possible. His whole posture became one not of aggression, of hostility; but a defensive stance. His eyes darted from one side of the room to the other as this man approached Marie.
Creepy? It had already trespasser such a feeling, the man seem now not only to try to walk away and conjure malice on Marie, from Leonard's perception. He even took away the Commander's capabilities to stop this from happening, limiting its senses through an unknown force; for as much he could understand. No matter if this was a test of some sort, Leonard would not care whatever risk as to challenge this event. What the man was trying to do, it went against everything he stood by, every rule and oath. Underneath those soft words, his charming personality; he saw a only selfish man. Huge expected that Alphus followed him in order to stop this from happening - he even gave him a quick glare - just to prove Anatoli he was facing against a unified team and not just a rogue Titan.
That's it. No more. Our guest is over the line.
For Anatoli, the silent man would be towering before him. The man was big, but this close and so menacing, it seem he has so became even bigger. His pale eyes always resembling to the equilibrium that never deviates but deep inside, hiding behind the darkness was the oncoming storm. His expressionless face show not indifference, but power - the silence of power, the one that proves superiority not weakness. A few words would slide off his mouth, full of confidence- "Commander said enough." he would attempt to be more physically present, even to pull the man away from the girl's sight-line. Nevertheless he also expected Tim himself to order him to do so instead of just physically interfere directly. Even if Anatoli could stop him the same way he has done to Tim, a question even more important comes from the bottom of every men's fear, the most ruthless of pandemics and agents of death. Time.
For. How. Long?
