Eecheb: --_-- | Hmm...
*Eecheb did seem rather displeased with Thanatos' state of health. If Trilla had looked at Thanatos, then she'd probably have had the same reaction, albiet more emotional then a mere grunt. There Thanatos went, off getting hurt again, though the situation wasn't known as to how he got hurt. Eecheb didn't seem to care how Tanatos got hurt, all he knew is that he was hurt and that made him disgrunteld*

*Than sighed. He'd been away for months, worried for one of his dearest friends. Than was actually still worried about Kaiori and would be until he knew she was well. It didn't really lift his spirits any to see his brother so disgruntled by the bandages. This would probably convince him to stave off seeing the rest of his siblings, not wanting to give them the same feelings*.....Sorry.... I should've just waited to heal completely. I'll leave you be..... *Than turned and started making his way to the door* v_v

Eecheb: It wouldn't change the fact that you got hurt! Once you were all better would you have said anything? It wouldn't change things... It'd still be the same... You got hurt again... Over and over again... Will you ever stop getting hurt Thanatos? Will you?! | v.v
*It was true, even if Thanatos had said something later on after being healed up, the children would probably react in the exact same way. Then if Thanatos would have just not said anything, he'd be keeping the truth from them. Was there any way for Thanatos to win? At least he knew his siblings had to care for him, getting so worked up and all. If they didn't then like Mastema they would probably just shrug it off completely*

*Than stopped leaving and looked to the ground. Eecheb wouldn't see it, but there was a small smile on Than at the moment* Had I appeared to you without these bandages, you may not have felt so disappointed. Eecheb, you're my brother.... I care a greater deal about you than I often show...and I'm trying to be the sort of person you'd be happy to have as an older brother, a person who makes you happy. Had you or our siblings asked me if I was hurt, I wouldn't deny it. How can I expect to gain your trust of me if I can't even tell you "yes, I was hurt?" *Than turned to face Eecheb* I don't want to be hurt Eecheb.... but I make mistakes and I'm not always good enough to do what I want to do, and my pain is the result. But the reasons I live everyday are just too important for me to ignore. Those people you saw at the dojo.... many of them and a great deal more mean a lot to me.... but bad people are always trying to hurt them or someone else I care about. I get hurt trying to stop these people from doing such things....

Eecheb: .....you do make me happy. Just not when you get hurt. ....then bring someone with you, then you won't be alone at least.
*Thanatos did often seem to fight alone but he had his reasons to. Eecheb was still too young to understand such things, but maybe one day he would realize. About half the age of Thanatos, none of his three younger siblings had the same experiences as he did. They were sheltered more, kept safe from the outside, where as Thanatos had just been thrown out into the fray and had to practically fend for himself. So the boy would not know for a time, just what his elder brother meant, or how he felt about such things, but someday he would. One floor down, Nana still showed little in the ways of movement, just simple breaths; Micha remains in the window*
Micha: . . .

*Than smiled yet more, and turned to look to the window. To hear the words "You do make me happy" from his brother did more for Than than was made evident* I wish I could somehow express the true depth of why I choose to do the things I do, Eecheb. Sometimes I do get help.... sometimes I don't. Most of this citadel is seclusive, and singularly defensive of just it. The reason I'm different is because, when I was growing up, the same age as you, this citadel didn't exist. I grew up outside of this barrier Eecheb.... I've seen the world beyond those walls. I've had experiences that've shaped me to be a person I want to be, and people who've given me more reason to believe than anything else. In truth, Eecheb, I want you to be able to have the same experiences out there. I want to make that world safe for you, so you can have the freedom to see the things I've seen if you wished. I want to make it safe for everyone I care about..... to do what I can to make the world "right," so to speak. Eecheb, I will do whatever I can to help you.... but you already have so much help and people to rely on. Micha, Trilla, Proto, Zio... even Otosan.... and especially Nana. I believe they can all give you the chances you'd want..... but there's so much I can do out there, and I can't just abandon those people I've grown so close to.

Eecheb: .__. What's seclusive? It didn't exist? You want me to go out there too? But what about the bad people? ....and what if you get to hurt to come back.....?
*There was always that possibility, that something could happen on the outside of the barrier. People constantly seemed to be after Thanatos to hurt him for one reason or another. Even that Gatia character had shown up before they had got home with Thanatos from the dojo, he didn't seem to friendly at all either. Would the people outside want to hurt Eecheb too? There was that possibility, and it was strong, the boy needed to learn from experience but without the will to gain that experience from the outside world, would he ever?*

::Tyrsais was making his rounds of the eastern part of the citadel. Ever so often he would stop on a rooftop to meditate, and scan the surrouding areas for any signs of life. For now he wasn't sure he wanted to encounter anyone::

*Than kept his gaze to the window* Seclusive... this place has a barrier which keeps it almost separate from the world beyond that barrier. *He shook his head* Iie.... this place was finished after I was born... but you were born inside it. I really didn''t have that much to depend on out there, so it was difficult. Eecheb... if you don''t want to leave the citadel then I have no problem with that.... but I don''t want this place to be the only place you can be safe. And there are lots of things out there you might like. I want you to have "choice".... if you want to leave then you should be able to of your own will. I''m trying to make it so that the "bad people" aren''t there... or in some cases so that they don''t stay bad. That way, you wouldn''t have to worry about them. *Than sighed at the final question.... but he knew he didn''t want to lie to Eecheb* That''s a good question. I''ll just have to hope that I get better in time to come back. I also have friends out there who I can depend upon. But you''re right, Eecheb.... I can''t always guarantee that I''ll be okay... but I will never allow myself to just give up and let it happen. All I can ask of you is that you believe in me and the fact that I wouldn''t willingly give up on that. *Than turned bck to Eecheb* It''s just that I want my firends and family to be happy.... and if I can do something to further that goal, I don''t feel right safely sitting behind this barrier....If I did that, I would never be happy. That''s another reason I do this Eecheb.... because I AM happy. I may be hurt, I may be hated, and I will even less be understood by those who haven''t expereinced what I have. But know that I am happy in doing what I believe in..... and I believe you''ll find out for yourself what I mean someday.

Eecheb: .__. | Hnn.
*Trying to make the bad go away, or change for the greater good. It made Thanatos sound like a hero, if Eecheb only knew what a hero was. Perhaps he''d know what one was oneday, and then he could refer that to Thanatos. Until then, the boy had few words. He could leave, only telling Mastema and Nana first then bringing someone along was needed. Maybe sometime, he could convince Thanatos to come with him. To where it didn''t seem to matter, but he could keep an eye on him then, and visit someplace new outside of the barrier. If it was Thanatos who went with him, then it was more likely to get a "yes vote", from Nana*

*Than continued to softly smile towards his younger brother. Than really did appreciate Eecheb's attempt to understand his reasoning. To know that Eecheb really cared what Than did was also more uplifting* I'm sorry to drag this out so much.... but thanks for listening, Eecheb,.... and thank you even more for caring. I hope and I believe you'll grow up to be a person of character that you yourself can be proud of. As for me, I'm already glad I have a brother like you. *He smiled a little more brightly. Than was half turned to the door and half to Eecheb*

Eecheb: .....a--are you going away again?
*Curious as to what Thanatos was going to do now, Eecheb asked a question of him. Was Thanatos going to stay long enough to heal and then stick around for a bit, or was he just going to head back out, and heal someplace beyond the barrier? Eecheb wanted to know, he had to know*

*Than shook his head softly* Madamada desu. Unless I find that something urgent is happening outside of the barrier, I don't plan to leave too soon. Even so, I've still got a bit of getting better to do. So I'll probably be here for a few days at the very least ^^..... meaning I'll still be here when you wake up *He chuckled softly* I want to spend some time with you, my other siblings, Nana, and some others.

Eecheb: >.> | What others?
*Aside from Micha, Trilla and Eecheb had yet to meet Sho, or Slayer. Eecheb had also not met Tyrsias yet, and Micha had yet to see Omega. All of the children were missing out on at least one person, or creature in the citadel. So it was only natural for the boy to ask "who", Thanatos was talking about. He was unaware of "others" in the citadel, since they had been unseen*

What others? Hmm... well there's Otosan and Proto, to name a couple. I'll see if Proto needs any fixing or maintenance >> Then I'll have to talk to Otosan sooner or later ^^; This is my first time back since you followed me out of the citadel. I suppose you got in trouble for doing it..... odds are I'll have to face reprimanding and punishment for leaving as well. *He sighed* So I might be stuck here regardless of whether I want to leave or not ^^;
