Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Yeah, sure. he does." Chuckled Elric at Nina's expense. "What surprised me was that you got away with scratches alone. I thought it wouldn't be two difficult for him since you were wearing little, But I am glad you're okay, Nina."

With a nod, Elric placed his arms behind his head. "Yep, and you won't believe how that happened. Benjamin says they were out here all night too all snuggled up." He answered as they made their way back to Ecalena's home. "Everyone's found and life goes on, for now anyway. We still have work to do in order to keep it that way"

(((Could had sworn I posted this, don't think I press submit)))"What are you talking about?" Asked Elric, he was under the impression that putting the rings back was all they needed to do to save the world. Well, put the rings back and fight their respective guardian. He sat down at the chair next to her and patted his cousin on the head. "All we need to do is put the Uni World Ring back, find Duo's and put that back and mission complete, right?"

"Ugh, her. Don't remind me of her name." He crossed his arms with a look of disgust. But Nina did have a point. " And Conner as well to eat you. Even so, try not to look at it that way. Its not like you. You really haven't been acting like yourself lately." His tone was full of care and concern for his older cousin.

Elric blinked, why was she smiling all of a sudden? "Be of help? The last I remembered, that crystal zombie fanboy of yours wants to eat you." He answered her.

Meanwhile, Irvin had finished the last bits of Nina's crystal armor. That wasn't al that was done however. Borrowing from Benjamin's memory metal, he upgraded Fara's sword that could shape shift into a bladed boomerang and even a tonfa. He asked her to stay as he was creating it, as she was a great inspiration by just being there. Not to mention she made him totally forget about his crush on Nina. He unknowingly was trying to impress Fara with this dazzling weapon.

"If you say so, cousin. I guess you're right about that. I kinda forgotten how you wanted to find your own way to save him, and it seems that whomever made...Revenier, is his enemy as well." Replied Elric, had he known better, perhaps Nina was developing a soft spot for the guy. Needless to say, he was still against Connor. He wasn't buying into the guy helping them later on.

Seeing her smile, Irvin smiled nervously in return. His cheeks turned red as he got back to work. In the finalization process, he was hit with more inspiration. He manipulated the sheath of her sword, which he now dubbed a S.M.E.L.T.

This new change, Fara would be able to change her sword's form by simply sheathing it, tapping into the necessary magical seal and viola. From dagger to greatsword. Well maybe not a greatsword, but the logic was sound!

"And it's finished." He muttered, handing the sword and sheath to it's owner. "I'm sorry I didn't let you see who it belonged to, but that was because it was a gift for you, Fara. I hope you do well to protect yourself with it. I wouldn't want you to scar yourself, or worse out there."

Yep, now he was surely convinced. There was something about just mentioning the guy that seemed to throw off his cousin, both in speech and body language. Elric light punched her on the shoulder. "We'll see what the future holds, for now just try to stay away from as much as possible. You've been lucky several times to not be eaten or come home pregnant. Don't push your luck, Nina." He teased her, hoping that would get her back to normal.

While Irvin appreciated the hug, it wasn't his goal. He wanted to make her happy and see her smile. "We'll see how well the concept holds. Well, that's everything keeping us here. I got Nina's armor repaired, reinforced everyone else's armors thanks to Benjamin and finished that thing. We're running out of time, so we best get to Uni soon." He replied to Fara.

Not a moment too soon either, as Benjamin had just finished packing away everything. They were going straight to Elric's folks anyway, Lorene and Derrick, so no need to suit up just yet.
