Ah, so you knew once you saw him? Yes... Zenogais, or Zephyranthes the way I hear it. Trilla doesn't even know he is Zenogais, its something he has kept from her. I'm at odds on whether or not to tell her, and how. She could very well find out on her own, but would it make things more difficult for her, or would telling her do the exact same thing.... I'm just not sure what to do.
*What information Mastema had for the robot general didn't seem important, as it could have just been something as simple as an order, or new sets of orders for a new mission. If Nana knew just what Mastema had meant, her overall mood may have changed, though for better or worse who could say*

*Mastema nodded* I believe I understand. However, I also believe that she will, sooner or later, discover the truth. Her response will probably be summative of how Zenogais has treated her as an entirity. Although... it is unfortunate for Zenogais that I did not make the connection sooner. You see..... Trilla brought up "Zeph" for a reason. *He thought for a moment* She was actually asking me if "Zeph" could work for her. Because I did not know she was speaking of Zenogais.... I agreed. So, Trilla now, at least partially, owns Zenogais....

.__. || Wh--ha?!
*An interesting response, but the only one Nana could muster. It was more than just a little shocking afterall. Immediately Nana's thoughts turn to Trilla's safety, for if Zenogais took the news badly, she didn't want her daughter to be anywhere near him, not that she wanted him near her in the first place. Just how and what would Trilla feel and do, having one such as Zenogais around? He had somewhat lightly tramatized her as a young child. For a time after their first meeting Trilla was afraid of the elevator, as it had been the device she had used to first find him, and that he had used to bring her back up to the top of the tower. Trilla was finally all right with the elevator now, but what of Zenogais? The Zenogais she remembered had been big and scary, and had chased her about the room on sub-level four, and ripped up a console with his bare hands, then dragged both her and Micha up to their resience at the time. Zenogais had then tossed the child into the room, something she was by no means ready for. If not for Nana being right at the door when it happened the child may have hit the floor, and so to Trilla, Zenogais was a bad memory she would rather forget. Yet Zeph on the other hand, Trilla liked, and wanted to befriend. He had helped her out on an occassion or two, told her things about him, shown the child a few fun things, and would come when she called. Zeph was someone good in Trilla's eyes. Both the same being, but the child was unaware, and so her reaction upon finding out would be something*

You're.... joking right?

If only I were. As I said... I believed "Zeph" to be just an imaginary friend at the time Trilla mentioned him. I had no acting generals or agents at the time.... so I simply agreed. However, seeing as Zenogais and "Zeph" are one and the same, Trilla now has my verbal consent that "Zeph" can work for so long as he is not on active duty.....

*Nana seemed completely dumbfounded by shock, and the question still remained, what would Trilla do with him? Zenogais was dangerous, and a bad influence. Nana didn't know just what Trilla knew about him now, or at least what he told her. She had no way of knowing what sorts of things he might tell the child, or try to get her to do either. Just because he now "worked" for her, didn't mean Zenogais couldn't try to take advantage of the fact, or the child*

*Mastema took Nana's silence as a sign of confusion and shock, as it was* Zenogais himself does not know this, yet. Nor have I yet to see Trilla use this new found "ownership" in any way. Zenogais already knows very well that he is not to harm the child..... so I am not particularly worried about what he will do.

*Trilla herself did try to tell Zenogais once, but it was drown out, and so Mastema would be the one to break the news. Finally Nana snaps out of her inherant shock to finally say something again. It really did seem improbable, Zenogais under part control by.... Trilla?!*
.__.,
But... but... What on earth would she even get him to do? She's still only a child, she barely even knows how to use Zio let alone how direct someone like Zenogais...!
*One could only wonder what the girl's first command would be, then whether or not Zenogais could even comply. Children did often ask the impossible, would Zenogais be target for such a request? Then if so, what would Trilla do when she found out she couldn't get what she wanted? Nana could only imagine what spurred the child on, to ask for Zenogais to work for her. Thoughts of Proto "working" for Nana hadn't immediately crossed her mind*

I am not sure. As I said... Zenogais has his directives and he will follow them regardless of what Trilla asks of him. It was a verbal agreement, thusly it is possible for Zenogais, so long as he is unprogrammed to serve Trilla, to refuse an order from her. Trilla's "responsibility" with him is up to her.

Yes, he can still say no. I can only wonder how Trilla would take it, let alone Zenogais... Hnn... Responsibility. I suppose that brings us to my next concern.
*Nana would definitly be thinking about the Zenogais/Trilla part ownership for the rest of the night, there was little to no doubt in her mind about it*

Hmm? And what would that be? *Nana was definitely speaking about many things tonight. Mastema turned his attention to whatever Nana's next topic was*

*After a moment or two, Nana fishes a metal incased Zippo lighter from her robe. Nana holds it between her thumb and pointer finger, the rest of her hand curls underneath it. Thanatos had etched Eecheb's name into the lighter, it was on the opposite side that was facing her and Mastema. Nana had not yet seen that Thanatos had put the boy's name upon the lighter*
--_--;
This... It was given to Eecheb, from Orias. Thanatos gave it to me, a few days ago when we went walking about.

*Mastema looked down to the lighter in silence, for a moment. Then, he moved one hand behind Nana's, so that he could better examine it* A lighter? Hmm......I see. And I suspect that you chose not to allow Eecheb to keep it. That would be my choice as well.....

*Nana nodded lightly, a lighter was a poor gift to give to such a small child. Even if one was to promise not to use it poorly, it could still happen. A moment of bad judment and things could go bad in large ways. Also, as Eecheb's first hobby of drinking had led him to injury, no doubt he could cause himself harm with a device such as a lighter, let alone someone else if he were angry*
--_--
Thanatos spoke to me about it, he said that he was speaking to me on Eecheb's behalf, to try and get him to keep the lighter. Thanatos had also told me that he had directed Eecheb in the lighter's use... still. What do you suppose Orias was thinking, giving this to Eecheb? Was he thing at all? Or was it an attempted bribe? He already knows Eecheb's name, with gifts like this, it makes me wonder.

*Mastema nodded* Thanatos does not always have the most keen judgment... even though he does try his best to make sure his side of any discussion is supported. No doubt, he does so in order to see that if a problem does happen, then he will be at fault and spare his siblings the shame. Hmm... *Was that the reason Than had taught Eecheb to use the lighter? So that should Eecheb be able to keep it, that he could put the blame on himself instead of Eecheb. Knowing Than's nature, it wasn't inconceivable* I doubt Orias intends to get anything from the children so much as to be on good terms with them. This was probably just a poor attempt at attaining that.

He shouldn't have to do that to himself, the children have to learn from their mistakes. If Thanatos takes all the fault upon himself then they learn nothing from it. After I told him that Eecheb would not be able to use the lighter, he wanted to tell him, so that Eecheb directed his anger upon him. I don't understand why Thanatos would want that, its something that doesn't have to be, its a silly thing to do to himself. Though I must agree, it was a poor attempt via Orias. Something such as this should not be allowed near them until they are responsable enough to handle such things.
*Briefly Nana turns the lighter over, at that moment she spots Eecheb's name, etched into the back of the lighter, then looks at it sadly*
