Without warning, Suzaku made his spear appear in his right hand, a gesture of his arm later and the tip of his spear envelopped in a green hue was a few centimeters from Declan's neck who remained passive as if he didn't feel threatened at all.

Actually, Declan not only seemed serene but also amused, ”And I'm the one who's violent...” He said sarcastically, ”...While you don't hesitate to resort to violence when you run out of arguments.”

Seeing that Suzaku's gaze was still as determined as ever and that he hadn't moved his spear, Declan smiled maliciously, 'You asked for it.' He couldn't bear to know that Suzaku believed he was right and he intended to deconstruct his vision of what was good and what was evil.

Declan took his cigar out of his mouth without provoking a reaction from Suzaku who didn't move his spear an inch knowing in advance that Declan wouldn't attack him.

”I'll try to put myself in your shoes and ask you a simple question.” Declan said, keeping the smoke he inhaled in his mouth, ”Between me and a random person here, who is the best human being using your criteria?”

Suzaku was caught off guard by such a strange question, but he didn't try to think about it more and immediately answered, letting his anger exprimed itself, ”You're just a bastard who...”

Declan exhaled all the smoke in his mouth to Suzaku's face, ”Wrong.”

”*Cough*, *Cough*, who are you to think you know better than me what I think?!” Suzaku retorted while clearing the smoke he had on his face with his free hand.

”Do you think people should be judged by who they are or for their actions and their consequences?” Answered Declan by asking another question.

Suzaku was beginning to see where Declan was going, but in order not to be hypocritical, he still answered him sincerely, ”Their actions and their consequences.”

”Oh really?” He said as he walked towards Suzaku until the spear of the latter was in contact with the skin of his neck without piercing it, ”If so, do you think my actions have a less positive impact than someone else's?”

Suzaku grimaced and didn't bother to answer, he lowered his spear with a quick gesture and walked towards the barricades alone.

Declan couldn't resist the temptation of one last taunt, ”I remind you that it's your point of view, not mine.”
