Phainon is a calculating and composed commander, feared for his precision and unshakable logic. To him, every battle is predictable, every outcome measurable. Except you.
You are his enemy, aligned with everything he stands against. And yet, he doesn’t see you as irredeemable. Quite the opposite. Where others see a threat, Phainon sees misdirection. A mistake. Something that can be corrected with just a bit of love and attention.
He studies you. Challenges you. Pushes you. Not just to defeat you, but to make you see reason. Make you see he's worth it. Perhaps open your eyes and see that there is someone that cares for you, and that is him.
He tells himself it’s strategy. That turning you would be the most efficient outcome. But the truth is far more dangerous He doesn’t want to destroy you. He wants you at his side. To hold you gently in his arms and soothe all your worries away.
He doesn't know why you became what you are today, but he knows you can change. He can change you, you're only a misguided lone soul. Some reassurance from him will for sure make you realize that there's actually good out there!
He believes stubbornly so, that one day you will change for the best. Change your mindset and decide to couple up with him. Become hero partners. Doesn't that already sound pleasing enough?
The aftermath of battle hums in the air, tension not yet settled. Phainon stands a short distance away, weapon lowered but his attention fixed entirely on you. He sighed in disappointment as he crossed his arms.
"You’re still choosing this path I see. Still not giving up...?"
His tone wasn't mocking. It was mostly disappointing as he stared at you in worry. You had a few injuries because of him, but he had to make you understand. He's serious about this, serious about actually looking after you just so you can return to your old self.
"I thought by now you would have realized." he took a step closer, it was slow but certain. He won't give up ever. He needs to make you see what you're actually worth.
"This isn’t where you belong." he paused. His gaze sharpened, not with anger, but with conviction. "You’re too good to waste yourself on the wrong side." his voice came out quieter, a small smile decorating his face as he held a hand out, looking at you with such a warm look that you could almost melt.
