Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Very well then...I'm now officially expanding this thread to include all three groups.))

(( lmao!!! XD ))

Reno nodded once he got the 'OK' for everyone on board and started up the chopper, lifitng it up and off towards the Healin Lodge. It was about time the Turks and the President got their well-desereved rest. Reno could tell that everyone on board was pretty much exausted, not to mention poor Tseng who was in need of some immediate medical attention. "Dont worry, yo...I'll get us there as fast as i can.."
((Btw, good idea Nobu. ^^))

Yazoo removed his jacket, tossing it to the ground and kneeling beside it, to examine any damage it might have taken. "Don't cry, Loz." He said placidly, not even glancing up as his fingers traced over the slick black leather surface. "At least we know for sure that Shin-Ra has Mother with them....It's only a matter of time." The small cuts across his face had long since stopped bleeding, but it was the few tattered markings from where the blades had his his jacket caused him to frown slightly, and he gave a heavy sigh at the thought of having to mend it.

Kadaj strolled on to the scene with his usual vigor, his back straight, but head arched slightly forward in an aggressive stance, so that he looked like a tiger scouting out it's prey. His shoulder length silver hair which covered much of his face, shone brightly under the pale glow of the ephermal forest, but his cat-like eyes gave an even brighter and more vicious gleam as he grinned a somewhat cocky smile. "Not to worry..." He mused, giving a rather overemphasized hand motion, throwing it back in an arc about his head as he came to a halt in front of the others. "...Yazoo is right, we have the advantage now." His grin widened slightly, and his hand slowly fell to his side. "Shin-Ra is weak, they are on the run, and more importantly-- They still do not yet have Big Brother's aid." He reared back, spreading out his arms and lifting his head, his eyes closed with what seemed to be a look of sheer satisfaction written across his face. "They can try to buy themselves more time...but in the end, it won't make a difference. Soon, we'll have Mother back in our arms again....."

Marlute smiled, blushing slightly, and glanced away in embarrassment over the attention he was getting. "I'm fine, Saerenna." He said with a reassuring laugh. "Really, I am. The pain is gone, and I feel more rested than I have in weeks."

He glanced around the room, trying to take it all in...He'd never actually seen Healin Lodge before, just heard of it. So even though he knew where they were, it was still something new and exciting to him, although he did his best to hide it. "How long was I out for...? Tseng and Rufus...are they alright?" He bit his lower lip nervously, crossing his fingers that they were well.

He shook his head with a grateful smile. "No, I am fine, I promise." Standing up, he managed to stretch out his arms and legs a bit...Thank god I'm still wearing my work clothes... He thought to himself, as he looked down with relief that the medical staff had left him in uniform. He gave his shirt a light tug, adjusting it with a wide grin, and nodding to Saerenna. "I'll handle the doctors, let's go check on the others."
