"I see..." Still feeling that all this was a little vague, Kratos decided to get to the point. "What is the worst case scenario you're thinking of when he isn't acting like himself, as you perceive?"
Startled by Rhone's sudden reaction, Chiaro jerked in surprise, the little "flashback cloud" of hers disappearing in a poof. She proceeded to shake her head, as if snapping out of something. "Huh? What's the matter, Rhone?" o_o;;
Oscuro snickered. "You were pretty much asking for it..."
Sheena's eyes widened in surprise as she watched Rhone's condition get better. "Wow, no kidding..." O_O
Azriel laughed a bit. "He says it's freezing, though. Would throwing a blanket over do, Rhone?"

Rhone shakily nods as he shivers.
"Y-y-yeah, that w-would be n-n-n-nice....also, ask Sh-sheena where she g-g-got that d-damn w-w-water!!"

Azriel chuckled a bit more covering her mouth with her hand. "Oh dear. Yeah, drape a blanket over him before he catches a cold or something." ^^;;
"Gotcha." Sheena proceeded to take the blanket bunched at the foot of the bed and place it over Rhone.
"Rhone's asking where you picked up that water anyway." lol
"Just the bathroom down the hall...why, is there something wrong with that?" O_o;;
((...Just to clarify, can Rhone hear what Azriel hears? I would think so... sweatdrop ))

"Muuuuch better..." ^_^
Rhone stops shaking and relaxes...until he hears what Sheena said.
"Umm....that depends...did that water come from the sink or the toilet?" o_O;
Zelos, now that he noticed Rhone's wounds were gone, decides to sit down in a nearby chair.
Regal was stroking his chin in thought while looking at Rhone.
"So if he dries out, it causes problems, but if he's hydrated, he can regenerate...seems almost like he's partially an amphibian....Raine, what do you think?"

"In a way I think so too Regal," Raine walked over to Rhone and poked him in the gut, "I'm beginning to wonder, how far his regenerative abilities can go... Say losing a body part."
Oro looked as if he just heard something important, "Sheena. Thank you for the reminder." He then proceeded out of the room.
Schwarz was puzzled by his brother, "He's reminded of what?"

((Oh crap. I think I know what's coming. rofl )) Sheena was thinking about the same. Reminded him of what? O_oKnowing that Sheena couldn't hear Rhone, Azriel asked, "Did the water come from the sink or the toilet?"Sheena sharply raised an eyebrow, wondering why Azriel needed to ask such an obvious question. "I got it from the sink, of course, why do you think I'd touch the toilet to get water?!"  ^_^;; "Wasn't me, it was Rhone," she replied, raising her arms in mock surrender. Sheena blinked in confusion for the umpteenth time. As did Colette. "So, um...how long is it gonna take for him to fully recover?"

"Worst case scenario?" Cain grimaced slightly, "That isn't really Cinkel. If we're lucky, that's not true."

Rhone was completely unfazed by Raine's inquery.
"Heh...it goes pretty far. If I've got enough mana and I'm well-hydrated, I can regenerate limbs. Of course, if my head gets cut off, that's it for me. As for my recovery speed.....thanks to that water....maaaaaybe an hour. Quite possibly less."
Zelos and Regal, however, were both staring at Raine in disbelief. The latter sweatdropped as he contemplated what he had just done.

((Azriel is being such a parrot, it seems.  )) Kratos was beginning to have a good idea of what the young elf was implying. To him, it was certainly quite the potential threat to the group. "...And you think that is nothing to call the others' attention to?" His question was more rhetorical. Not expecting an answer, he turned full attention back to the events transpiring before him. Azriel began to make a slightly weirded-out expression on her face. "..." 0.oColette stared at her, confused as ever. "Is something wrong, Azriel?"0.o;; "No! I mean...no, not at all. Just...gee. I suppose you want your question answered, Professor. He said that if he has enough mana and keeps well-hydrated, he can regenerate any body parts he loses. But if his head gets cut off, that's it. On another note, it's going to take him up to an hour to fully recover."Colette blinked again, but after the last sentence, sighed in relief and smiled. "That's good to hear." ^_^Sheena shook her head as if from a daze. "Oh. Sounds like we've got some free time on our hands, then. What do you suppose we can do to pass the time?" she asked, directing the question at everyone.

Raine crossed her arms, "Hmmm, I wonder if he would let me take more samples then just his wing, his body structure is definitely something different then what I'm accustom to."
"Bad idea Raine," Oro had just reentered the room with Schwarz body, "Can't have you cutting up allies now. Especially when they need to rest... Now if you'll excuse me." he turned around, out of the room and started down the hall.
"Wha-what? Why was my body with him?" Schwarz was whining and pacing around in circles. He felt that something bad was going to happen to him.

Rhone grins and strokes his chin in thought.
"Weeeell....if she wants to take samples....well, I guess it depends on what she needs. I don't mind losing something like a few strands of hair or something like a few skin cells....she could also take some of my blood if she wants, as long as she uses a properly-cleaned needle and makes sure I don't bleed constantly once she's done..."
He then looks over to Schwarz.
"I'm thinking he's off to give you a bath. From what I've heard....you kinda need one."

((Grab some popcorn, kids, it's storytime. )) After getting what Rhone said, Azriel replied, "Right... Professor, he wouldn't mind giving samples of his hair, skin cells, or even blood as long as the needle's properly cleaned and he doesn't end up bleeding constantly."Taking Sheena's question into consideration, Colette raised her hand. "Well...I have a question...how did you get your wings, Azriel?"Sheena made an expression of epiphany. "Oh, that's right...ever since you told me about this curse of yours, I've been wondering how exactly you got it."Azriel rubbed her chin and smiled. "Hmm. I suppose time will allow for a long story. Okay." She closed her eyes to gather her thoughts, and after a minute, she spoke. A much bigger "cloud-panel" formed behind everyone present in her mindspace and played flashbacks along with her words in that same sepia monochrome."It was about three years ago, when I started my adventures as an errand girl. I was tasked to hunt it down by a client in Asgard, you see. This client withheld a lot of the background behind the collar...now that I think of it, it was as if he was trying to keep it a secret from me. But, I was in a tight spot at the time---I was running out of money for food, and he was offering quite a hefty, enticing sum."The scene that showed on the panel was of a wingless Azriel speaking in the pub to a cloaked figure who kept his head bowed so that his face remained in shadow. After she shook hands with the figure, it cut to the site of a mausoleum with ornate gates and statues in the yard and a long, one-story house-like structure in the center. Azriel walked past the gates and into the structure."It laid deep within a mausoleum---the name, I forget now, because it wasn't of particular historical significance. It was just for some wealthy family of centuries past. I ventured in, searched, dodged a few traps, and finally located the artifact."Azriel was shown walking down a hallway, eventually stepping on a trap switch that caused spikes to stab out from the floor beneath her. She flipped over it in time...only to land on another switch that activated a falling spike trap. She rolled out of the way in in time...only to stop over a pair of trap doors that gave way over a pit of spikes. With each trap, she seemed to grow frazzled, until she pulled herself out of the pit and caught her breath. After which, she found a stairway leading below ground.
The next floor offered a barrage of arrows being shot from the right wall. She sidled as swiftly as she could along the left wall, ducking, dodging, and deflecting them with her sword. The next stairway finally led down into a dim chamber full of chests and pedestals where prized belongings were displayed. Azriel had needed to take a torch from a nearby wall to light more within the chamber. At last, she saw the Fractured Soul collar on a pedestal cased under a dome of glass. After setting the torch she was carrying on a nearby stand, she lifted the glass and picked out the collar artifact."Suddenly, I discovered that a bandit who likely had overheard our deal had followed me all the way in with the intention to take it from me and claim the reward money for himself. I made it clear I wasn't gonna let him get away with that, and of course, that started a fight. Before drawing my weapons, however, I was hurriedly trying to think of a way to not drop the artifact. At the time, I didn't know it was cursed since I wasn't given many details about it, so naturally, I put it on."The Azriel in the flashback turned around to find a man looking older than her by a handful of years with long, ratty hair tied in a ponytail. He had stubble on his face and wore loose, "stylistically" tattered clothing, as well as a dirty grin. He had twin daggers drawn; an invitation to fight.
"I suppose I should thank you for clearing all those traps out of the way. I'll be taking that now, little girl."
"Heh..." Azriel smirked as she fixed the collar around her neck. "...Over my dead body."
"Hmph...suit yourself.""I drew my weapons and was about to charge at my foe, but just after a single step, I began to have this weird and painful feeling within me. I really don't know how to describe it in a way that makes sense...it felt like parts of my soul were breaking off. I would soon learn this was my soul splitting off into Chiaro and Oscuro."Azriel drew her saber and dagger, and began to charge forth. Her third step was more of a stagger, however. Her eyes widened in shock, and the jewel on the collar could be seen glowing. She was compelled to drop her weapons, clutch at her heart, and fall to her knees. The bandit just watched on, confused and intrigued. Her mouth was gaping throughout, and she was making shrill gasps of pain."That wasn't the end of it, of course. After a few seconds, I felt like something was trying to tear out of my back. As I hunched over from the pain, there they came...bursts of light and dark energy that tore through my skin and clothes...forming and solidifying into the wings you see right now."As Azriel felt the pain in her back, she keeled over and planted her hands on the floor, her nails trying to dig desperately into the stone.
"Aaah....aaaargh....EEEEYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!"
Out came those eruptions of light and dark energy as she said, like wildly flickering tongues of flame. She was bleeding profusely from where they sprouted as they shaped themselves into wings. Once their forms settled, the bleeding ceased and the wounds closed up, making it look like the wings were naturally part of her body. At that point, she seemed so painfully disoriented and about ready to just slip into unconsciousness.Colette found herself staring in awe at the jewel on Azriel's neck by the end of her story. "Wow. I wonder what it really is, for it to do that to you. It's not a Cruxis Crystal, or even an Exsphere, as far as I can tell..."Kratos held his chin in thought as he stared at the collar on Azriel's neck, his thoughts echoing the same sentiments as Colette's.

"Eh?! Bath?!?" Just then the Flashback began, "Wow very nice this would have been a great movie... WHAT AM I SAYING NOW?!?!" Schwarz dissolved and left, leaving behind the silver moon pendant.
In the bathroom Oro had undressed his brother and was now about to literally throw him into the tub, "Bath time!"
"Never!" Schwarz grabbed the edge of the tub an Oro at once and did a mid-air barrel roll which ended up with Oro in the tub fully clothed and Schwarz grabbing his clothing and making a mad dash out of the bathroom.
Oro slowly got out of the tub, dripping wet, "You... are... so... DEAD!" He ran out and began to chase his brother, who (thankfully) was smart enough to at least put on some underwear before running past the bedroom where everyone was accumulated.

(Indianna Azriel and the Collar of the Fractured Soul. X3)
"Uuuuuuuuhg......"
Rhone, after watching the flashback, reached behind him and scratched his upper back with a pained look on his face.
"That's preeeeetty much what I have to do to make my wings show up...I can sympathize with her on that one. Not so much the soul splitting thing. Although I CAN add complete body chemical replacement and genetic reconfiguration to my list of uncomfortable occurrences..." ^_^"
Zelos raises an eyebrow as he hears the end of the story
"Now hold on, my blue-haired beauty...what happened to the bandit? Did he just leave or something?"
Regal's reaction was practically the same.
"Indeed...I can't imagine he would just stand there during all of that."

Cain scratched the back of his head, "That really doesn't sound all that delightful. It even sounds worst than that itch you can't scratch." He joked on the last bit.
