 'Wh--yeah...you're right, okay. Just...I need...here, you go back and I'll catch up with you?' Addison offered, ducking behind one of the tree trunks to avoid any stray glances their way during Bristan's outburst.  'I found your cousin. There's a lot you both should know, actually...' Inoke looked up, hearing a distant voice. After a pause she added '...We should discuss this in private, perhaps.'

 'We shouldn't stray too far from here, just to be on the safe side. Especially with...that girl,' Nalini said, pointing at Ryla, 'still nearby. Crying or not, I wouldn't turn my back on one of Zack's lackeys for a second.'

'...'
Nalini remained silent, not sure if she should say anything about Ryla's unusual appearance. A theory had sprung to mind, and it made her feel sick to her stomach. No doubt it would make Velia and Tenshi feel just the same, if not even worse.
'...One thing about fights is the lack of time for formal introductions,' she simply said.

Addison nodded, watching the portal close. The last of the DRKNRGY presences had gone with it. That was it, then, the coast was clear. Be fast if you must meet with her.'I will.' The redhead crept out of the forest, keeping to the shadows as she made her way, weaving between debris and purposefully avoiding any passing dysadi. '...Yes.' Inoke was disappointed that they had not been able to capture the strange dysadin for questioning. All the same, she said, 'We should go to mother's, I'll explain what I was told there.'

'Right, lead the way. Velia, can you hang around here for a bit longer, please? I...need to talk to you as well, once Inoke's said her piece.'

 "Oh, we were formally introduced all right" Velia spat."Cloning, is he, now?" She looked sickened, disgusted."Fine, let's go, then"

Addison caught sight of the others but kept a safe distance, hoping Nalini would realize who it was that was still here and not be put on edge by the DRK presence. She continued to follow suit, disheartened when the vampire stepped inside along with the others, barring her chances of being alone with her for that much longer. With this little NRGY left, she dare not do more than conserve what remained for the portal back. Inoke lead them back to her hut, allowing everyone inside and lighting a few candles effortlessly as she went.
'Alright. I ran into Bristan, he was behaving like an enemy...until that girl with the red hair arrived and began acting like a lunatic.' Inoke looked at Nalini before adding 'She said she was on our side, getting help from...you?'

You stupid girl! Nalini furiously thought. A flash of anger crossed her face at Inoke's words.
'I can't explain, I'm sorry. She's on our side, yes. I might as well admit that much seeing how she's already ******** told you, but the details I can't go into. Inoke, you must keep up appearances. Please don't tell another soul, all of you. I shouldn't be saying this at all, but considering she's already gone and told Inoke...' Nalini sighed irritably. 'And continue to act like she's the enemy. Maybe give her a bit of leeway, yes, such as not making her your first target in future fights, but for the most part, act like she's still with Zack. Alright?' the vampire quietly said.

 "... Is that why she and Bristan vanished? Is Bristan working for you too...?" His voice was hopeful, looking to Nalini. He knew that he wasn't really evil...!

'Bristan, I don't have a clue about. Or Evijan. As far as I know, they're both on Zack's side.'

'Ah...' Inoke glanced at Oukami. '...Then I suppose we do have allies yet. Bristan's tone seemed to change upon her admission, there's hope for him...maybe. I told them to wait in the forest, it's possible they listened. In which case we could find out for ourselves.'

'Agreed. But first, I need to speak to Velia. Privately, please. I'll meet you outside in a few minutes.'

'Alright.' Inoke agreed, sitting down beside Oukami and delicately reaching out to brush a few stray strands of black hair out of his face. 'You should rest, Oukami.'

"I'm fine..." He promised, taking the hint and standing up. He subtly touched Inoke's arm, to which Velia raised an eyebrow."Come on... Let's go and find them" He told Inoke, heading outside.
