Welcome to Gaia! ::

"It's good to meet you all," Yuki said as she came in. "I am glad to see faces of some that I knew in my former life." She said with a knod towards Dannin and Shade. "I hope I did not startle any of you too bad with my message."

"You must be the new leader of the Daishizen," Yuki said as she greeted Lena. "You act so much like Celeste." With this she turned to face Cye and said, "I have found that a gradual introduction to an enemy takes for too long for my tastes. I figured startling you would put you on your guard a little mroe quickly, Cye, barrer of the armor of Torrent."

She did not like how warm it was in here so she unconspeculacely dropped the air tempterature down two degrees to something she was a lot more willing to tolerate. She as tried to stay away from Ryo because she knew that he would naturally give off more heat because he was barrer of the armor of Wildfire.

Shade was looking at tYuki almost suspiciously, but remained quiet, backing to lean against a corner, nodding agreement to Lena's question, doing something she was unused to doing, at least, as she was now, and spoke into Lena's mind.

:The simple explanation is this: I am from the far distant past, the me that knows you, since you cannot be Celeste, who is my friend, is in my time, while I am here for the next six months or so. I don;t know where the me of this time lives, nor really anything at all about what changes have happened in the world over the last several millenia. I am quite alone, grieving for those who died in my arms scant days ago to me, aeons ago to the rest of the world, far more vunerable than I like, and the only thing I can do is trust people who are little better than aquaintances. Dani included, I am afraid, because I happen to know time changes many people a great deal. You, and you only, do I feel a fair trust for. Please, if it is diplomatically possible, find a way to excuse us before I react badly to something. I'm not exactly a social butterfly, and there are too many people in this room right now for my comfort.::

She seemed calm enough, but Lena could easily note the corner she was against gave her a full view of the entire room, and quick access to a door.

Cye gave a wry smile as he nodded, taking in what was going on, "I appreciate the warning. I will keep this all in mind."

Lena nodded at Yuki, almost peering at the woman, "How would you know I was the new leader of the Tribe, if this is so?" She tilted her head to the side, before glancing at Shade. Scanning the area, she noted different things and ways to be able to move the woman so she could relax. Stepping gently over to where Shade stood, she grasped the woman's arm in her gentle grip, urging her to the dinning room, where she wouldn't have to deal with all the people about.

Dannin smiles, "Well, all in all, I say we have a job to do. I'm worried if Tusuki is comming back. She's not all together here upstairs, and she is powerful."

Ryo looks at Dannin, "Any info you got, we need."

"Ryo, you know I can't," Dannin says sadly, "We've been over this, I can't tell you about what my life was like in the Dynasty."

((Just for reference, Pretea. It's reigning not raining.))

Yuki took a look around the room and noticed that no one as of yet was felling cold enough to say something so she allowed herself to lower the tempterature another couple of degrees for her own comfort. She wished she knew more about these people, but she did not want to get attached to them. She still did not know if she was going to be on the side of good or bad.

Shade shivered at the second temperature drop, glancing at Yuki, asx she edged her way farhter into the dingin room.

Instead of speaking aloud, she chose a more direct, disconcerting, but familiar to her mode of communication: telepathy.

::Yuki-san, please stop making it colder. I need the warmth right now. I said nothing the first time because I could tolerate it. Please.... you don't have to make it warmer, just stop making it colder.::

"Lena-san, is there any clothing of mine anywhere within a hundred mile radius of here? for that matter, do you have any idea where I am supposed to live myself?"

Dannin smiles, "To the point. Well, I have a few ideas, but around here, it's more of a democracy..."

She takes a deep breath before she speaks. Her figure seems to change from a carefree, if a little sad, young woman to a tall hardened warrior, unmoved for ages of time. If any had known her, she seems more like Kaylyn in the final years of the older Hyrosha's life.

"As for Shade, you can stay in my room until we find you a place," she says, "I just got back, so there's still some room. As for Tusuki, this is something that is going to take some planning, which it seems, we have little time to do. I have not seen her since I left. She does not know I am allied with the Ronins, which gives us a small advantage. I still know many of the wards that hide her, though her magic keeps me from sharing them with you. I can get in and see what she is planning. The key for that to work is if I do, I cannot know what you all are planning until near the end."
