I don't think it will help him to be alone- but I don't understand what it was that he endured in all of this. Perhaps it's best he has the quiet for some time.

Sabriel...needs time to mend. But she's resilient.

[thefinaljedi]

[He looks down at her, gently running his hand along her arm, infusing more of the Force into her.]

It will be alright. They'll understand. Thats what friends do.

[yourhatred]

Hm.

[Itachi doesn't look too impressed, but he's not rolling his eyes or anything either.]

I see.

[thefinaljedi]

She is resilient. You two need to talk. I suspect you'll be good for her.

[thefinaljedi]

Well, you're hardly the most troublesome man I know. If I thought that, Han would be obligated to one up you.

[He shrugs at Itachi, a sarcastic grin on his face.]

He's some sort of master thief back home, he says.

[fleurdesel]

Were I ever so fortunate in my youth to have a daughter...there are time I would like to think she would have grown into a young woman much like Sabriel.

[thebellthatbinds]

Thank you Rei.

[You really are too kind Rei. The corners of her mouth twitch up in a small smile for a second before she nods. Mr. Dresden and Viral were also recruited then...somehow she's not too surprised that Viral had pushed to find out about Mars.

Sabriel had almost forgotten about the box, but with Rei's prompting she slips a finger carefully along the edges held down by tape, lifting the lid to reveal...]

[windandrain]

[A secret for a secret. But this one generates a strange look, Saori's index finger shifting suddenly, and slipping in to trace along Adele's palm. Her life-line. Strange. It went for a long ways, but had several sudden stops. Nothing conclusive. The Malnosso clearly were interfering with her life, or Saori's own readings. Or both. Retracting her finger, the goddess nodded]

Then you will meet Yomojii soon.

[thefinaljedi]

Were I to have a daughter of my own, I would wish the same. She reminds me of Jaina, in a way.

[quicktoanger]

I still looked like ten miles of bad road.

I tried to cover it up. I even tried putting damn makeup on it, because I didn't want him feeling any guiltier than he probably already was, but I... was never good at this sort of thing, and it just made me look sort of misshapen and patchy instead.

So. No makeup. I'd just have to stop him from feeling guilty the hard way.

But I tracked him down. He was trying to move things out of his house, by the looks of it.

"Need a hand with that?"

[fleurdesel]

[Her palm twitches a bit at the sudden tracing of. Something? A line along her palm. Her hands were her life; she knew every crevice, every cut, every line. Whatever significance that particular one holds that bears examination- she doesn't know.]

...Yomojii?

[faithfulflame]

[...a dark blue Sailor Fuku with silver trim, embroidered with a Charter Mark on either shoulder. The clothing clearly was altered by Rei, as the marks are still gleaming. Resting on top of the uniform is a silver locket, with twin symbols intertwined, a Charter Mark with the arrow of Mars slipping through the middle, another example of Rei's myriad of crafting skills.]

[folklorist]

[ There is just a...choked back sob at that action and he pulls away the bruises on his wrists and arms the only reminder of what happened. He doesn't honestly understand why she's forgiving him because what he did to her was terrible and he was terrible for not telling anyone about this. He was terrible for ever preforming that summoning ritual five years ago and letting Apep out. He moves away a little more shaking his head adamantly.

Why was everyone saying that? He wasn't a victim. He was just a fool and an idiot who had done this to himself. He was a wretch just as Nero and the Council had put it into his head so many times before. He had hurt innocent people with all his past conflicts. If he was away from everyone that wouldn't happen. It was probably better this way in the long run. Maybe he could find a way to remove Apep entirely. ] I-I'm s-sorry. I-I can't. I-I sh-should go.

[ And with that he'll move away and head for his room. There's Luminair too. ] I-I'll take Luminair w-with me t-too. [ The last thing he needs is for the person he's tortured to look after his pet. He also won't be alone then so it works, right? ]

[windandrain]

Yomojii, He Who Bars the Way.

[She says the name with more than a bit of reverence, herself. Yomojii was another ancient Kami, far FAR older than her, and even Tesshin. The god that straddled life and death. The gatekeeper of the great void.]

Your fate is unclear. Your death is certain. But, I feel his mark on you.

[folklorist]

[ He nods almost like an obedient child. He doesn't comment on the hiding from people. Because he can't really promise her he won't because he will. He'll remove himself from the village while he tries to process everything. It'll take some time and he'll try not to hide but...it's not something he can fully say he's able to do.

He'll just turn away before any of those tears form in his eyes and nods silently in thanks again before he makes for the door hurriedly to leave. He doesn't understand it, why she was so nice to him, maybe he never will. His own harshness onto himself is probably enough to make up for it though. He's not sure what he was expecting but this wasn't it. ]

[quicktoanger]

Ever since the fight and the binding, I'd been spending most of my time lying in bed trying not to hurt too much.

But, I didn't want to sit around feeling sorry for myself. All told, I'd gotten off light. So, I made rounds. I checked up on folks who'd been hurt, and I got back to work on my magic projects. No rest for the wicked. I wouldn't be able to do much magical heavy lifting for a while, but the planning and preparations still had a lot of doing to get done.

[quicktoanger]

Luckily, I managed to reach the clinic before she'd left- though I caught her on the way out the door.

I nodded by way of a greeting.

"How're you holding up?"

Voice

[quicktoanger]

After I talked to Helios, Saori was next on my list. I wasn't sure where in the village she lived, so I just went ahead and called.

"Hey. So. We kind of owe you."

[lostinmyway]

[Grune bows back as best she can with a cake in hand, then smiles.]

Good afternoon, Rei. Are you having a nice day?

[Action]

[redjacketthief]

This sounds a little like PTSD--what you need is a counselor.

[But that hug was enough, and all he could offer her. Having witnessed his partners tortured and experienced it himself, he knew that just being available as an emotional support was better than nothing.

Her words pulled an echo of his momentary fear to the surface. That twinge of uncertainty when faced before a god that intended to kill him was enough to lock him up. Beyond the pain and the raging vertigo, he knew in that second that he was in over his head.

Fear was always fuel for him, and he would use it as fuel again. The moment a man in his profession loses respect for the risks taken is the moment he ends up imprisoned--or worse.]

That wasn't the first time I've stared death in the face, Angel. And it won't be the last.

[redjacketthief]

Oh, please. There's nothing wrong with having Internationally Wanted Prankster status--[except for all of the complications--]

At the very least it will get people to smile. That's what we need right now.

[faithfulflame]

I am doing well.

[She pauses for a moment. Grune...was clearly very odd, but she had seen Rei shift from Mars, so it was worth investigating.]

Grune-san, I have a question. Do you...remember what happened after we saved Sabriel-san?

Voice

[windandrain]

[She answers in an even tone]

I don't think you do, I was only doing what was necessary. But, if you feel honorbound to think that, I may have a task for you. A simple one, at that.

[risingshepard]

[She just gives him a nonchalant nod, her hand cradling the expression of someone who would really like to physically vent out her frustration as she swirls the glass slowly in her other hand.]

Could be worse. I could be teleporting all over the place again.

[yourhatred]

I will make note of that.

[Lupin reminds him a bit of, well, a couple people he knows from his world.]

But do you need anything else in particular, Mr. Lupin, while I'm here?
