Welcome to Gaia! ::

Agrias Oaks

Entering the mansion as if she entered from another era, a blonde lady knight wearing blue raiment and heavy polished armor. Lady Agrias Oaks had her long blonde hair in a single French braid down her back. Steel blue eyes scanned the entrance way to try to find any familiar faces.

The paladin's eyes rested on an old companions of hers -- Cloud. The sight of the spiky haired mercenary gave Agrias a hint of a smile. Then, she noticed the closeness between Cloud and Terra, the green trussed girl blushing at Cloud.

Agrias understood what that shared look meant.

Ever so faintly, that hint of a smile on Agrias' face faded into memory. It felt like her heart caught itself in the paladin's throat -- the beginnings of another heartbreak. Outwardly, the stoic lady paladin wouldn't show the pain of her heart, but one paying attention to Agrias would note the sudden but subtle shift on her features.

I'm... too late again. And... truly alone once more, and all I have left is my faith.... My gift and curse, it seems... Just once....

Outwardly, there were few clues to the paladin's heartache and her longing to be loved... However... It seems to be destined not to be, and Agrias must rebuild her fortress of solitude around her heart once more, Must it be so.....

Everywhere else in view, were those unfamiliar to the holy knight. She did catch that there seems to be another threat to the city of Midgar again. Perhaps... another cause may make the holy knight forget her own loneliness. Agrias spoke when she approached the group that Cloud was in, "Pardon my intrusion, but what conflict seems to be on the horizon that this mansion has become a barracks?"

"I will never go back to that Orphanage!"

"Dont call me Jory!!!"

Alphonse climbed off of Kasiya gently and reached over petting her saying," Im sure the people of this Mansion will be kind to you. This place is a Safe Haven for those from other worlds. Its somewhere I used to stay alot when I was younger." Like when he was 2, odd that he could remember that far. The blonde teen looking around saying," Wow, its lively here. Is something about to happen." He scratched his head, then looked to Vira saying," Here, want a hand?" He held his hand out to the Dragon Rider, with a kind smile on his face.

Arcene smiled at her comment about dropping something. "That would be bad, yes." he said about it. "It might be a rumor... a rumor like that would spread fairly quickly after the battle earlier. A little scouting may be a good idea, but you shouldn't go alone." He said, glancing around the room. He spotted the woman that came in, and even though she was good at hiding feelings, he was great at sensing them. "Looks like she got her heart smashed by a brick." He commented to Rinoa. Then he glanced between Agrias and Cloud. "Or, a giant sword." He amended.

"Squall, you're the one who gives me the most comfort. Comfort and happiness... And annoyance and disappointment, too!"

"You're-going-to-like-me! You're-going-to-like-me! Did it work?"

"Mm, of course.I wouldn't be alone, those that pilot the Ragnarok are also very skilled in battle. " She said, glancing out the window, she knew the airship was outside the city as it often was and right now, would be the very best time to go. While it was dark. The night vision would work just perfectly for such a quiet airship. A slightly new feature installed many months ago.

Then, the blond haired women caught her attention, only because Arcene had just mentioned her. Her mind was so into this little plan of hers, she wasn't completely paying close attention to those around the room. But, as she did look at her, she came to notice the very same thing. "Oh...I hate seeing these kind of things. I hope she will be okay.." She said in a whisper, so that only he would hear. "Well, I will be going for a short time. I'm going to talk to the pilot and the others of the Ragnarok.Bye Arcene..I'll see you soon with much information!. " She said with a small smile, before turning and starting on her way to leave the building. "Angelo! " She called, as her partner jumped to it's paws and rushed over to her. Soon enough, the two were out of the mansion and on there way for the airship. Sure she would love to stay and talk, but to her, the saftly of her friends and the city was more important. Finding out information would help, and that was just what she was going to do.

"I don't want the future.. I just want the present to stand still.. So I can stay here with you."

((ooc: ))

"thats good to know." Arcene said in response tpo Rinoa saying that the Ragnarok crew was skilled. "All right, try not to let anything bad happen to yourself Rinoa." Arcene said as Rinoa left.

"Yo, redhead." Arcene called to Kiyoshi. "What was your resistance to electricity during the battle?"

From the energy of these people, there wasn't much to tell as she was searching for a certain being. She and the other had decided to split up for now and scry the people around the city, just to have an idea of whether these people were approachable or not. Finding her friend just easily, a woman with golden wings, the red-haired woman dropped from the sky to land on the roof of the mansion, her bright red wings flashing fire as she slowed upon approach and landed lightly. With being there, her wings disappeared along with the fire, and she turned to Rosalia. "Hiding up here rather than interacting with them, sounds about normal for you," she said with a light, gentle smile. It seemed that it was normal with her to tease the rather serious woman. Rosalia looked to the red haired woman as she stood up. "Yes yes. Good to see you as well, Aquila," she said lightly.
