Welcome to Gaia! ::

*That said, Mastema would merely wait until Nana fell deep into sleep*

Proto: *Leaning forward, Proto looked on rather boredly. Another few minutes and he'd get up to once again try and persuade Trilla to follow him, but for now he let her examine the unusual smoke*

Zeno: Hmm... *Zeno eyed Rintala curiouly, using his computerized brain to go back through his memory and try to figure out who she was. Finally, it hit him* Holy BZZT.... you're alive. Hah......haha...... that's not surprising. Well then, it's wonderful to see you again. I made you into lovely red artwork last time, after disemboweling you. Come back to do it again?

*A "deep sleep" would probably take twenty minutes or so to reach. Until then, simply comforting Nana more so would speed along her journey. Light sleep would likely be obtained in a few minutes. It was perhaps not all too surprising that the blast wasn't felt or questioned, Nana was tired afterall. She was probably too sore too feel anything else but her own aches, and the explosion was far enough away that the sound wasn't loud enough to alert her*

*The few minutes Proto would wait had by now passed, and Trilla was still looking at the smoke. She'd shake her head a bit, the ringing had gotten lounder. Covering her hands over her ears the child would come back to the slab of a wall and rest her back upon it. Looking from Proto to the ground and back several times, Trilla would slowly slide to her feet and stand up, her back was still to the wall. Her face still showed discontent, but she wasn't so frightened anymore, just in pain from the sound. After another minute or so, Trilla would finally speak and address Proto, the shock must have completely worn off*

Trilla: ....Trilla hears lound sounds, and they won't go away. Trilla can't hear anything else but the loud sounds. Make them stop...... | TT.TT

*Hopefully a good healing and a couple of days in bed would be all Trilla and Eecheb needed. If either of them had hearing damage due to Orias' mistake, he'd be in a great deal of trouble no doubt. Then again, Mastema was good at healing both himself and others if he chose it, so the children should be fine. Trilla was finally ready to be helped, and took Proto's hand. She still didn't know what had happened, and would likely be told either telepathicly, or later once her hearing had gotten better*

Trilla: .__., | Hnn.

*Nana would have by now reached a light sense of sleep*

*While walking along, Trilla would continually shake her head, trying to make the ringing stop. She had also taken up rubbing at one of her ears again, with her free hand. If Proto was going to Thanatos, then hopefully by now he was out of whatever trance he'd been in after looking at the data disk. More so, if he was doing a little better, then hopefully he'd be up to a visitor or two. One in particular who would need his companionship quite badly*

Trilla: v.v; | Hnn...

*The most noticable thing Than would pick up on immediately was that Trilla was partially soaked. By now what ever was left of the ice in her hair had melted. She also had a tiny scratch or two, nothing that drew blood however. Proto would have to tell Thanatos about the explosion and Trilla's ringing of the ears. Trilla's free hand would still be rubbing at one of her ears, and her head would be leaning into it; Trilla did not look at all happy if anything*

Trilla: ~.~;

*When released, Trilla would rub at both of her ears. She couldn't hear Proto's beeping to Thanatos so her attention would remain on her own ears and the constant ring. Orias' lair being destroyed was an accident, he'd probably try to rebuild it later. Cooking was simply not the demon's forte. From now on it would probably be safer to order out from the citadel cafeteria though Zio, that is if Orias was ever informed he wasable to do so. When addressed by Thanatos, Trilla would give no answer, she couldn't hear him over the ringing. She was a little surprised when hugged though, she had been paying more attention to the sound*

Trilla: .__., | ?

*Thanatos would lightly stroke the child's hair for a moment before pulling back. With his hand on the back of her head, Than would establish a telepathic communication, his lips synched with his mental words* Trilla? Can you hear me?..... are you hurt badly?

Zeno: You already thanked me by being such a wonderful corpse. *He snorted*...... What the hell is this.... I don't need his permission to go on a stroll. Eitherway, why would I want to wander off with you and walk into a trap...... I'm not fooled by that little BZZTing brat of yours either. *Zeno could clearly see it was a little girl, but Hes hardly seemed the type to be motherly if she didn't have an equal gain..... Zeno felt if he took his eyes off this girl it would be unfavorable to him*

Proto: *He would once again tell Than of the ringing in Trilla's ears*

Than: I see....... *embracing Trilla softly, a small glow would flow from the top of his arm to his hand, on Trilla's head. Slowly, within a minute or two, the ringing would have decreased significantly in magnitude. It'd taken Than a while to figure out how to best heal it and found a way. Within a few minutes, the ring would be gone, but the damaged hearing would have to recover on its own*
