The heat wasn't something that Ulv noticed. She was literally made of fire right now, so temperature wasn't exactly something she was capable of feeling. But she did feel the darkness, and as her nature to be the light within the darkness, the bright lamp of the abyss, she lit the place up, so that it might feel the touch of a sun, small as it might be. The second thing, was the depth of emotion. It struck Ulv to her heart because it was so nostalgic. So personal. It felt like her Wolf when she summoned it. Truthfully, it felt like her. Though Ulv would never let another discover that part of her.
"I am Ulv. I have come to help. Had I known you were suffering this much, I would have come a lot sooner, but I did not. And that is my fault. But I am here now" Ulv spoke softly but passionately, a conviction that could not be denied. She did not look at the Hollow and see what most would see, instead she saw a creature trapped by it's own nature, a wound screaming to be healed. And that was exactly what she could do - in some cases, quite literally, but medical magic was the low-end of her power's abilities.
"You remind me of myself. What I could be at any moment, with the simplest of mis-steps. With a moment of loss. I am actually really glad I can't feel Hayden's emotions now, it would have made a poor interaction" She told the Hollow, before looking to him, the crackling amber flame blazing from her form as if to bring light to a world that had been absent of it for so long. "What do you want, Haereticus? Ignore possibility, ignore judgement, ignore everything except your own heart and tell me. What do you want?"

RAGE INCARNATE
HAERITICUS
The being seemed to reach to their right as a metal encased hand seemed to wrap around a blade embedded into a twisted corpse. As he wrapped his hand around it a thunderous boom was heard, followed by a lightning strike piercing the sky as it collided upon the blade and hand. With one smooth motion he'd rip the glowing blade from the corpse holding idly, his face concealed behind the mask hiding all facial expression. But under the mask a smirk played upon his lips, an amusement at the idea of this horse shit.
"I do not suffer."
The man voice seemed to have a chuckle to it, a twisted laugh as his chest rose and fell as the chuckle seemed to grow. The laughter becoming a full laugh filled with irony as it seemed to bounce off the walls of this seemingly infinite realm. For the hollow he saw nothing wrong about what he was, about his nature. There was nothing more perfect, nothing more true to one's self than he. For he was a dark and twisted creature, and that was just fine for him.
"Ahh, I see why The King thinks you good, such naivety. Such belief in the power of love, and friendship, and hope. Yet, when faced with a creature such as I clings to the idea I need any sorta help." The man's laughter seemed to calm down as he lifted his blade up to the air, holding it towards the sky as he examined it. The crackling of lightning and power which ran across the blade was far too amusing. If she was to bring light to his realm, he would remind her that it was his realm. This was his domain. And within it's twisted shape he found amusement.
"I have all I desire, so long as The King keeps fighting. Understand, woman, seem people don't want or need your help. Walk towards your oblivion believing the righteousness of your actions; but do not think your path is any more valid than mine."
The sarcasm to his voice was strong, as he began to slowly lower the blade. The billowy smoke seemed to be gather around him, watching her intently. He was not amused anymore, a frown under his mask. She pissed him off, her very presence within his domain. Treating him as if he there was something wrong with him, with what he was. He derived his existence here, he understood his purpose.
What the fuck gave her the right to assume he needed her help.

"So this was your choice, then?" Ulv asked, after he had finished. She had no fear of him even if he was fearsome. In this form the worst he could do was expend the energy that made her. And then Ulv would just make a new one and come back. So in this instance, she was fully confident of her own invincibility, because she was. He was certainly flash, his actions trying to possibly inspire something? But Ulv was not like that, she simply stood where she was, and maintained her eye contact, while doing little else. Her words would be her actions.
"You chose to be born into this man's soul, chose to be trapped between watching someone else live a life or fleeting freedom with certain death at the end of it? You chose to toss aside everything that you had, and hinge your desires on such a flimsy condition as someone else doing what you want them to do.
You chose to be stuck here, with nothing but your hatred, your anger, and your fury. You chose this whole thing, of your own free will, knowing all the benefits and consequences that would come from that? If you really did, then my question is why? What can you gain sitting here watching someone else through a lens, that you can not achieve by yourself, out there in the world?"

"Freedom of choice, how quaint. How such a human idea."
The man examined the blade for a moment in front of his face, before removing it from his view stabbing it once more into the ground satisfied with whatever he saw. Within a realm almost infinitely under his control he could simply content himself until the end of time. Perhaps he was bidding his time, perhaps he was simply content with his lot in life. Whatever this enigma was, his methods and ideologies where completely different from Hayden.
"I do not dream of things so quaint, so useless in the long. You assert notions constantly assuming what people want, what people wish or do. Enforcing your will, upon others. Others who have no choice but to benddd."
He'd speak almost lazily, completely disregarding her as a being. In his twisted view of the world he simply saw a hypocrite. That the idea of free will ever applied to people like himself, no, people was the wrong word. Things, Monsters. That was what he was, and as he thought that a smile came onto his lips. Yes, he was the monster of Desmond Hayden.
"I do not care to choose, I am content. Does it matter if I chose it or not if I do it well? If I enjoy what I am and what I do to this man. You try to apply 'belief and logic' to what I am, when I am simply what I am. A beast made incarnate from The King's desire. As every one is tied to their beliefs, to their... pointless conflicts— I am make no illusions."
He'd laugh shaking his head.
"I look forward to you condemning the world; walking it towards destruction with your desire to help everyone. You're quite the monster. I'm almost impressed."
Thus the laugh grew.

"I mean, yea. It's not going to be a Martian idea. I've never been to Mars" Ulv could not resist the ability to be snarky when the situation came up. It was an irrepressible desire to do whenever she can. But, then she returned to the seriousness of it all, and clasped her hands behind her back, taking a breath - not because she needed it, she wasn't living as such right now - and nodding softly. "I understand you don't care for making choices, because you have never made a choice. You've never had the chance to make a choice.
You were made with your emotions like this, and that's that. You are saying that Chicken is your favourite food, when all you have ever eaten is Chicken. You can't say you don't care for something you've never had the ability to do. It is the same as saying that I don't care for transforming into Voltron and smiting my enemies. You are who you are because you are who you are. What I want to offer you is you being who you are because you want to be who you are. We are all living beings, so we should all be able to stand and say 'What I am today is a result of my choices alone'. Not 'What I am today is because it is what I have always been'.
And in essence, refusing the opportunity to make a choice about yourself is also making a choice about yourself. Either way I get something out of it. It might be a selfish thing to do, but that is who I am. I will extend an offer of aid to everyone that is in the abyss below choice. You have accepted your situation because it isn't a situation that is going to change, which is understandable. But I am here offering to change it, so previously held principles about making the best with what you have are either changed by someone offering you more, or kept because you are more comfortable in the dark than in the light. And that is fine. I am not here to tell you that you have to change and that I will change you. My powers don't work like that. I am here to tell you that you've never had a choice, and that sucks. But if you don't want a choice, then that is your choice. And that choice is fine. The issue stems from the fact that before this point, you didn't even have that"

"I suppose you are not entirely useless and dense then."
The man wasn't entirely being offputting now that she had said that, it was long winded and he had tuned out like three times during it, but he got the idea. It wasn't something he particularly cared about but it was understandable in a way, no longer did she simply insult his existence. But that did not stop him from waving his hand at her, a swift motion as the world began to contort.
"You have said all you needed to. Be gone. I must train."
It was short and to the point, simple even. But it was not entirely confrontational leaving the hope that may her words would serve to be a pain in his head. He was trapped in a void which seemed to only be filled with endless conflict and training, leaving time to his thoughts. Thoughts which now had an outside influence.
But it would be at this point Ulv would be forced out of the inner world, perhaps by Hayden or Haeriticus. It would be a swift push sending her out, and if she fought against it she would have to defeat Hayden's own will which would prove to be hard. Should she allow herself to be thrown out Hayden's mask would be gone. In his lips would be a cigar, and his alcohol in his hand.
He looked to be sweating lightly, a cool breath escaping his lips.
"Enjoy'd your visit?"

ULV AUBER | THE BURNING HEART
Ulv fought the push out for a few seconds, more so because she was a being of energy and had to ensure that that energy made a orderly exit from Hayden, lest it act like some sort of Super-Cero and wipe Somalia off the face of the Earth with it's unrestrained release from Hayden. Ulv didn't hold back when making her Avatar and it was comprised of some 95% of her total energy. So the body did not vanish instantly, but rather faded out over a few seconds before popping out of existence, and then she was back in the office. Returning to her seat, Ulv looked over the information she had gathered while there. Ulv's Avatar was semi-independent until return.
"I think it was very productive, yes. For me if nothing else. I might come back some time and talk to him. Just, talk to him. Maybe he doesn't get lonely, maybe he doesn't know what lonely is, but everyone needs someone" she said, before looking down and bringing one of the bars of chocolate. She stared at it for a few moments, before bringing the brandy instead and knocking that back.
"I'm a very selfish person. Because everything I do is for me, first and foremost. I need to know what a person wants to do with their life, because I can help them. And I can't sit by and not do something I can do. Or at least not offer. I can't let a person exist in the thought that there is nobody around to help them, nobody would would help them. I have to know that they know if they ever wanted help, even if it is no now, even if it is not ever, that I am here to help them. I have to know they know it is an option that they have, even if they will never take it. I can't let anyone end up like Mirja did. And I can't not be the Ibiki who offered that hand. That, is a core thing. That is the truth of my soul. I can not, not. I would never force anyone to do anything, but I can't let them just linger without knowing that there is something that could be done"

"What is help, Ulv?"
The man seemed to ask as he took a deep inhale of the cigar, admiring the strong taste for a moment before exhaling. He'd remove it from his mouth placing it on the ash tray, taking one sip of the beverage before placing that down as well. He knew his hollow intimately, as it knew him. So if there was something to be gleamed from her deep introspection Hayden might be the filtered voice needed.
"In my eyes, and I suppose Hae's, this all consuming urge to help everyone is just a need so intense for you it has no outlit. Do you want to help people see things your way? With the endeavors? Will you help someone who goals ultimately harm the world if they came to you? Do you try to further help them by changing their goals?" He'd post all these questions before simply getting to the point. "From an outside view, from my and Hae's view, this 'need to help' seems more like a need to conform people to your view. And if they can't fit into that box, if they don't want to be what you wan't— they're worthless."
He'd lean back and let out a sigh.
"I want a world where I don't have to agree with you someone, but that doesn't mean I have to kill them. Where I may not like them but I recognize their worth and vice versa. And should their liberties start to crush other people, I act against them." He pauses.
"It is not a choice you offer people, Ulv. You offer them ultimatums. Take my help, or you shall fall. It is a simple philosophy, one which you are allowed to have for you do not have the responsibility of millions on your shoulders. I often find myself faced with situations which test my views, where I must decide who lives and who dies. Perhaps it is envy, that you get to believe as you do."
"Mirja once went to the Monsuta to try to change it. I cast her out of Vastime when she did, for her intentions where noble— but they would result in abuse. She left once she found out what it truly was, but what happens when it's too late ya know? When you've already done some horrible stuff cause you helped the wrong people? It makes me worry. About you. About this need you have."
He'd take a sip.
"But I do not try to change it, I accept it. As much as I disagree, as much as I wish you saw my ways. I accept it."

ULV AUBER | THE BURNING HEART
What was help? It was, to her, an offer to do someone for someone that they could not. When your mind was possessed by energy that drove it towards chaotic, maddening thoughts, you were not able to think about what you were doing. That ability to think was what she offered. She knew what she was doing, knew how she was doing it, but it was clear the issue stemmed from the way she put herself forward to others. She needed to work on the sales pitch, but despite how often she used them, words were not her best part.
"Mmm, Mirja left Monsuta because Stefan said there was nothing of worth in the Seireitei. And held that when Mirja brought up Ibiki. She wanted everyone to come talk about the past for the sake of the future, and Stefan wouldn't. But, as for my help, it doesn't really work like that. If I help Mana clear her head of all that taint from her chaotic powers, and she decides that being a demonic despot is still what she wants to do in life, then I will oppose her. But while she is still doing this because she is not in the right mind due to those chaotic powers, I can't see her as the enemy. I can only see her as someone who suffered a bad hand.
I always thought I was putting forward a choice. A, life has sucked so far, but it doesn't have to keep sucking, choice. I can help you or I can not help you. How life goes from their on either side of the road is up to you. I want everyone, I need everyone to be able to say they are where they are because they want to be there. Because they have taken a firmly objective look at their life and said 'This is the path I want to be on'. And if that path is a path that will sow destruction, then I shall extend my other hand, and tear out their heart. Because my choice is to protect the world from those who wish to see it harm. But I first must know they wish to see it harm because it is their wish to see harm. Not because of any other reason"
She looked to her hands, and held them out. One lit up with an amber flame, a torch in the darkness. A beacon for the weary. And the other grew thick talons, sharp, pointed and radiating a vicious aura of bloodletting. Such a hand really was capable of tearing out a man's heart.
"My hands will resolve the troubles of all who accept me. One way, or the other"
And then the crazy Ulv went away, and she bit into the chocolate bar in her hand.
"And the one's who don't accept me just get cigars and brandy. It's a consolation prize, really. I mean, they have to be sad, missing out on something as fantastic as me"

"You are such the wild card."
The man remarked idly, there was no real malice in his words. But an actual amusement as he seemed to put out the cigar, and finish the last of the drink in his cup. Such was the ways of the world, their views often clashing yet conforming in other areas. In truth, the presence of Ulv was a good one for him. A constant reminder of how starkly different the world could be, and that if there was any hope of peace in the future was that listening more would be needed.
Thus, he'd sit up in his chair. He'd thrum his fingers on the desk, deciding now would be a good time to make conversation.
"So, tell me, how goes the wedding?"
