Izaya threw down the staff and reared back his right arm, unleashing a haymaker on his cousins face

"I'm going to keep doing what I always have been, trudging forward through everything life throws at me!"

Looking at Roth with a fire in his eyes, he shook his head, his wings falling away behind him "I don't expect things to change for me. I was willing to die to save them, but I see the folly in that now. What good could I do dead? BUT DAMNIT! I'M GOING TO CHANGE THINGS!"

Roth backhanded his cousin's forearm, blocking the haymaker and stepped into the opening, driving his knee into Izaya's gut. It wasn't enough to cause any real damage, just enough to knock the wind, and a little bit of fight, out of him.

"Oh-ho, so you were listening? I guess I wasn't just talking to myself afterall," Roth started sarcastically.

"But is that so? You're going to change things? Perhaps if you shout loudly and stamp your feet in front of the enemy, then they will just stop fighting because they hurt your feelings, and that makes them feel bad. Yes, surely that will end this conflict," Roth said. "We'll simply appeal to their conscience by showing them how much the mean things they say hurt our feelings! Surely then they won't murder us and everyone we've ever known and loved."

Izaya turned slightly to the side, avoiding the knee

He moved his claws in twice, attempting to catch Roth off guard

"Just because I try to stop fights from happening, doesn't mean I won't end them when they do! This is an argument I've already had" He nearly spat the words at his cousin

"You're missing the point! You're stuck in the past!," Roth said angrily, trying to backpedal away from the claw swipes. One managed to rake across his shirt, tearing it, and his chest beneath.

"You gave up!," he said, swinging hard at Izaya, the staff making a loke whoosh as it parted the air. "Our dear departed Aunt said such mean things about you, and you. Gave. Up. You broke down in front of her. You hid beneath those girl's skirts again. You did not try to convince her to stop. You did not fight to stop her. You gave up," he finished simply.

"What will you do when that happens again? When they call your mother a mere human whore? When they call your father a traitor? When they call you an abomination and slaughter hundreds, no thousands before you? When they kill your friends and force their dessicated corpses to rise against you? What will you do then? Will you just give up, because war is cruel?," he asked, his voice growing in conviction as he spoke.

Izaya attempted to strike out at Roth, his claws ripping through the air instead

"Past, Present, Future. Aren't you the one who says time is not linear!?" He snarled

"It isn't insults that effect me! I've heard them all before! I JUST WANTED TO HELP!" He yells, punctuated by another slash in the air "But I've learned. I know better. Why give them what they want? It won't help"

Izaya's breathing was getting harsh, his eyes filled with hatred

Roth danced around the slashes, deceptively light on his feet for such a large individual.

"If all that's true, if you've really learned and you really believe that," he started, "THEN WHY ARE YOU SO ANGRY?" As he shouted, he threw a hard right hook straight at Izaya's nose.

Roth threw down his staff and it clattered on the ground next to Izaya's. "If none of it effects you, then why, right now, are you so angry?," he asked calmly. "Explain that to me. Why are you so angry?"

Izaya lunged forward, not hesitating when Roth threw down his weapon.

Leading with a punch to the ribs, Izaya smashed his head into Roth's chin before looking at him, his eyes clearly conflicted

"Because this is what happens when I fight! I lose control and instinct takes over. HE takes over!"

He smashes his left hand against his heart "I'm stronger when I'm angry, when I let HIM help me. And if he's a part of me, then why shouldn't I? This anger is part of me Roth."

Roth let Izaya hit him and moved around behind him, grappling with him and trying to put him in a full nelson.

"That is how a child behaves! You are throwing a temper tantrum on the battlefield and hiding behind your other half like a scared child! You are hiding beneath their skirts again! Be a man!," Roth said as he restrained his cousin. "Think! Remember what I told you! Make your heart a fortress! Stoic and implacable to the eye, but within there is fury! Be tranquil as the forest, but on fire within!"

Izaya looked at the ground, but didn't fight back "Do you know what it's like to have your very mind split into two? To have multiple souls reside withing your body, along with all of their emotions and memories? Because I live like that every moment of every day."

He shook he head, before his body moved through Roth's with no resistance "No. You get to experience Time however you wish it, but it's always just you."

He turned around and looked at his cousin "I'm never going to be like you. I can't just wall myself off. I need to accept that I'm different but you need to accept that too."
