"B-but I think I looked differently and acted differently then. Something about my appearance upset me, but you didn't care you loved me, or cared for me anyway," Rhapsody said leaning forward and nestling herself against War's chest, "And your smell, I remember loving waking up in the morning and smelling your cologne."

A guilty look overpassed War's face as memories from before began to finlter through. They were feint, but definite. He knew what was happening.
"Are you ready to learn the hardest part of what mortal's call 'courtship," he asked, lip quivering.

Rhapsody looked up at him a look of fear crossed her face but it was replaced by her sticking up her chin to try to look brave, "I think so," she whispered to him, unable to hide the look of worry in her eyes.

War nodded, then stood, walked across the room, and grabbed her robe. Slowly, regretfully, he handed it to her, then stood aside, the door in clear view.
"This," he said, turning his head away to hide the tear welling up in his tattooed eyes, "Is rejection..."

Rhapsody looked really confused, in fact downright baffled, "I-I don't understand, there wasn't even any kissing, or the becoming one. What is rejection, why is it making you look so sad?" Rhapsody asked standing up and walking over to War, she reached out and ran the back of her hand down his cheek, "I don't like this rejection if it makes you sad. Maybe it's courtship that amkes you sad we don't have to, we can wait until you're not sad anymore."

"Leave, dammit," Nick exclaimed. He took a breath, swallowed the tears, and spoke, still not making eye contact, "I'll explain in the future, when yo ucan understand."

"No I want to know now! I can understand now if you'd just explain it, damnit you're so hardheaded!" Rhapsody her voice taking the more gravily voice, a voice of a smoker, "Don't try to push me away without explaining it's not fair!" she added her voice back to normal.

War looked at her nose, still not wanting to make eye contact, "I can't. Not yet. A plan is in motion I cannot act against. There is a plot going on, in Lord Apocalypse's grounds, that I cannot speak of. Lest I find my head detatched from my body."

"Look into my eyes when you're talking to me!" Rhapsody growled grabbing War's chin and forcing him to look into her angry eyes then she leaned forward and kissed him, hard. All her passion, anger, sadness, all the emotions she was feeling went into the kiss. Tears started flowing down Rhapsody's face as she kissed War, not wanting to let go but would have to. She pulled away, "Please don't ask me to leave."

"Leave," War asked her, "It isn't a command, but a request. If you continue down your path now, not only will it hurt you, but it will hurt me as well."
He finally looked her in the eyes, "Have faith, that I know what is right in your doubt. One day soon, all will be made clear."

"I-I don't want to ever hurt you War," Rhapsody said biting her lip and looking back into his eyes and a feeling of happiness and warmth passed over her dispite the situation, "I'll go, just so I won't hurt you," she said and stood on her tippy toes and gave each of War's cheeks a kiss. Silently she pulled her robe on and headed for the door.

War sighed heavily as Rhapsody left. Things were beginning to become complex for the Horseman.
"Someone had better make an opening gambit soon," he moaned, "I want to get this war settled..."

Rhapsody wandered outside of the pyramid, she was looking for Death, she wanted to talk to him about War's behavior. She half wanted to tell Apocolypse, but then realized that was out of the picture, "Death, where are you?" she called out still looking around.

Death appeared behind her, his cloak fluttering to the ground as he dropped from the ceiling. He cleared his throat quietly to garner her attenion, then crossed his arms.

"You've known War longer then I, why courtship and regret make him sad. Does this have something to do with the mortal feeling called love?" Rhapsody asked turning and facing Death, 'Have you ever been in love?"

For a moment, Death's eyes flashed a look of surprise, then stiffled it in his words, "There is alot of weight to your questions, Rhapsody," he told her, looking thoughtful, "War acts like he does because he doesn't want you to feel used in the end. He can sense battles approaching now, like a warm breeze in the air. He knows what is coming soon, and if it involves the loss of either of your lives, it would be devastating."

"I would be sad if he died, even now, if fact my soul would probably die along with him," Rhapsody said thoughtfully, "Oh," she then realized what Death was saying, "He's scared of the mortal feeling of love. And why didn't you answer when I asked if you had ever been in love?"

Death waved off the query as he turned away and began to move from her, "because there is nothing of which to speak of," he told her.

Rhapsody's eyes grew large, "You have been in love? With who, what was she like, what did if feel like, did you become one, do you remember anything else from before we cam to Apocolypse?" she asked catching up to Death.

"There is nothing to speak of because I hav never known love," Death replied, "Before Apocalypse there were only sparks, that seemed to have died when I came here, forgotten in my actions. But one day I will find those sparks again."
