[div style="width: 500px; text-align: justify; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 1.4;"]Gilbert's hand, freshly wrapped where a bullet had gone through it, gripped tightly to his other hand that held the bat. His teeth ground together, though lips closed tightly around them, tugged down into a frown. The more he thought of The Badlands, the angrier he got. "If I really wanted to kill your sister or your friend or even you, none of you would be breathing still." That threat had stuck with him. He knew, Dylan was dead - but the threat stuck with him. He needed to be stronger, for Flintlock Lodge. That was why his knuckles were bruised, while his body ached with soreness every time he went to sleep, if he went to sleep. But truth was, Gilbert couldn't sleep. Sometimes he stayed up, staring at the wall just waiting to race and defend, fingers coiled around his gun. Other times, he just wandered the borders after arguing with Greer, telling her he had to go, telling her he was allowed to help keep the Lodge safe.
Sometimes, he tried to hold back his urges to be stronger. Sheogorath's sinister smile always appeared when Gilbert waltzed around, angry, violent, toughened up - Sheogorath wanted Gilbert to be so bitter and aggressive, as far as Gilbert perceived. Yet, there was one thing he decided. Peace had become useless to him. He would fight, not because it was right, but because he had to. So, Gilbert stepped into the main room, chest puffed out bravely.
"Anyone wanna spar?"
