Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tri watched her pain but didn't regrets his words, standing by them as he watched her moved from them. The pain on her face echoed his own as he let out a soft sigh as he moved to respond.

"No, Hexxis just no. Tell me you left us, your willing to leave the guy you just proclaimed your love for, and now you are leaving something you obviously have a skill in. You have no loyalty. Tri might take you back and that might be all that matters but I don't trust you. it didn't even pass your mind that what you did was pretty gervious and now you want us to act like nothing happened?" He said harshly the light in his eyes returning.

Tri, only Tri not them. Ree stared quietly at her and shook his head "Everything is so convenient now, get up and drop what you were doing to return to what you left before...or literally anything else that catches your interest. Mara told us you said you never had any intention of calling us back and now you are here nearly begging to come with us." he said with a sigh, trying to keep the anger down. " You don't even stand up for that so-called love. We are all being a bit to accommodating if you think that you can jump from here to there and back " he narrowed his eyes and this time looked at Tri as he said the words and back to Hexxis.

"Your feckless, with some mysterious goal that you can't even tell us about. You left to save us now you want to return while everything is still the same." he walked to her other side so he could at least keep the windows and door in view encase it was a trap. "You make no compromises. It's just sorry sorry sorry it's my fault... but nothing changes." he frowned at her and puts his hands in his pockets as he furled his wings in closely.

"We've been looking for you since the day you left...do you even remember the day you left? Because I go back to the hotel room with my brains pretty much addled thinking an EE member is my best friend in the world and Tri is here howling like a lunatic trying to get to Mara while attempting to kill me and an image of you. " he kept his gaze on her and forced himself to calm down again. "Some days later, while out searching for you he gets shot and sent to a hospital dying of blood loss. Then we finally find you by completely random chance...and you don't care." he looked at her blankly.

"You have a partner..a job you excel at even if you don't like it. Yet you're willing to drop all of that again to do something else. Take some responsibility for once, what will you do differently if you do come with us? What won't you do? All I can see is that Tri told you he might have some information and now you're here trying to get close again. A more subtle version of a seduction.. isn't that right? Get the information, tell your partner get out all in the name of "safety"?. Maybe it's not the merc we have to worry about but you. You're less trustworthy than he is " he stayed where he was watching her with only a flicker of anger.
-------------------------

Tri looked at Ree and frowned, making this a figth between them both was not what he wanted to do. At the same time he was angry, he was angry she left them for that kind of person even if she had a reason. He... didn't know what to do. It would be easier if she decided as Ree was trying to push her into doing, but in the long term it would just break down from resentment. "Ree, enough. Hex-

"It's not enough. If you don't want to hear her response I do. I want to know why we had to go running around when it never mattered to her. A quick text or message would have allowed us to just stayed hiding not ..." he waved a hand. "experience everything that happened while she she was here trying to play at being human" he said never looking away, not mentioning Anadii. That was an silently agreed thing, not to mention the computer meta to mercs.

Ree frowned "I am not yelling at you. I am telling you to figure out what you want and stick to it. " he said staring at her intently. " I make accusations and insinuations because I have no idea what you want to do. I can't make you understand what you want, you have to figure that out yourself" watching the play of emotions cross her face, something she would never have show before and he just felt... cold, lacking the sympathy he should have.

Tri looked guilty as he saw her expression once Ree told her what happened. He would.... he was still heavily affected by everything. "I is not you fault. " he frowned at Ree. "It is a hazard as you know and I was not paying attention" trailing off as Ree continued and he felt at loss on how to stop them from ripping at each other. Ree from frustration and fear and Hexxis from pain and possibly anger.

"If I were you.. I would fight for who I loved, not easily throw them away. It does not mean I accept who you picked, it is just that I would not let anyone doubt my intentions and make them understand where I stand." he flared his wings out slightly as he motioned with his hands then looked disappointed. " You are still just like a weapon, looking around for a hand to wield you and lead you down some path. Only now you are a little more aware " he shook his head, if he had a reason he would get close to her... use her, but he had no need and she just left him cold as if something had died. These were not the feeling of meeting someone long thought gone.

"Did you even question if this feeling of staying near to us...no Tri, even had anything to do with that mysterious thing you can't say?" he lowered his wings tired of all of this, just a complete waste of time. He would have ot talk tot he only person whi might be able to give them an idea into Hexxis mind and tell them if she was plotting something. "Also I am not brother. My name is Ree, and I want to talk to Ash"
-------------------

Tri grimaced and moved finally to stand between them tiredly. "Stop this both of you. " he said sternly while Ree never looked away from Hexxis, onl reminds him how had he had raised them.

Ree stared at her quietly, the anger shimmering under the surface but at the same time he felt jealousy combined with a discomforting fleeing of hot and cold running through him as if he were fighting for control of himself and his emotions. Maybe it was not only the fact he felt she was untrustworthy that bothered him but that she found something and was willing to give it up. No...maybe not give it up but pull Tri to work with her and merc and he just get dragged along for the ride because of just a name.

Just as she said she didn't know him he didn't know her....he wanted to trust her but she always said a sentence here or there that he couldn't believe she would say. It also showed how she viewed him and there was no future there, a tightening noose he wanted to rip from.

He stared at her closely as tears ran down her face, his words obviously hurt her deeply. Yet, the only thing he felt for her, not her words, was apathy with a small hint of dark satisfaction that he didn't want to think to much about. He didn't feel about her the same way she felt, it didn't help that the day she left was the day they actually talked and start to developing closer bonds that were snapped some minutes later, followed by trying to chase her down.

Tri might not feel the same way but he was furious for what happened and what they found. Tri's injury was not directly her fault but now? She might apologize and want to come with them but he could only feel suspicion....but how else to regain trust than to offer an oppertunity..except he didn't want to..to many things on the negative side than not.Even with what he knew of her there was sympathy but not enough, he would be willing to help her just not be with her..not that it likely matters since she was only intrested in Tri. Yet there was still Ash..maybe she can give him a different view of this.

"Let you go? Then fine come if Tri agrees, but know I don't trust you. And I know you don't care. Now Ash" he said sternly, narrowing his eyes as she looked to the flood and Tri tensed going from confused to alert. "...." Looking toward the kitchen table he pulled the knife she was using before with telekinisis and let it rushed past it hand letting it cut him deeply before it clattered to the floor and slide under the table. "Ash." He said as he put his bleeding hand in front of Hexxis's eyes.

"I am forced to tell him, I will not lie to him... please forgive me."

A feeling of dread ran through him as he looked to Tri then back to Hexxis while blood dripped from his hand. Seconds later Hexxis confirmed what he had already pieces together between those two sentences. The pain in his heart was stronger than the sting on his hand but he slowly healed it anyways while staring at them with growing anger. No future here. (Healing lvl 4)

Tri shook his head as he took a step toward them having gone quiet when it looked like they were absorbed in each other's words. He knew he should have stepped in but he wasn't even sure what he would have said, they were both right in their own way. That was his fault, they might have gone past this without Ree asking for Ash if he had reacted sooner and kept them distracted, or just hit brought Ree at all except he knew he would need help checking out the house. He trusted Hexxis but not her partner, so it was better safe than sorry.

"She left with Hexxis last job. Don't follow her because she will just kill you. There is no contract now, everything was fulfilled so you would just be putting yourself in needless danger" he said with a stern look toward Ree before looking at Hexxis. "You can come with us...if you don't communicate with Zephyr any more " he said quietly missing the pained look in Ree's eyes that faded to the dead look he had earlier.


Staring at them quietly he looked toward the nearest window and tried to teleport, only to have nothing happened. Staring back ,eye wide in surpise, he focused on Hexxis and glared hatefully. " What is the point, you're going to get what you want anyways and forget the rest. Like being a Merc...you're a good one right? Why don't you do something actually useful. Hexxis, take out the trash on Zaku Shiroi " grabbing the only person he knew she knew and likely wouldn't find. "Instead of bothering us?"

Tri waited quietly, frowning as Ree spoke bitterly but not looking away from Hexxis. She was furious and he let out a mental sigh "R-.." He trailed off ready to tell him to stop or leave for a bit when Hexxis just changed. Not a good change, it looked almost like her emerging personality was sucked right out of her body leaving only the shell...worse than when he first met her.

"Hexxis?!" He called out to her taking a few steps then turning on Ree, his face showed a look of disbelief and anger. "What did you do?!" He flared his top wings ignoring the pain and glancing back after Hexxis as she walked out the door, no sign of stopping.

Ree had a faint look of relief that it worked correctly before Tri turned on him angrily. He held his ground and motioned after her with a wing. " Hunting Zaku, she'll stop in about 24 hours or when he is dead. Considering how sneaky he is, likely 24 hours" he said carefully as the shadows started to gather in the room then dissipated.

"You gave her a command!" he yelled moving toward the door as adrenaline washed through him. "One that wasn't in her fi-...there were more weren't there?! Are you that selfish and jealous!? We were trying to save you" he moved to the door and paused at the threshold watching her from where he was. "Make her stop!"

Ree looked pained but didn't follow. "24 hours. Don't get in her way"he said quietly as Tri gave him a look of disgust as left after Hexxis. Ree stared after them //selfish, egoistic, murdering idiot. Maybe I should just be what everyone views me as// glancing down he pulled out his phone only to realize they never set any protocols on how to get in touch with Anadii, another try of his teleport showed the power was gone. "Damn it" he hissed softly, glancing toward the door again. Well Hexxis will be happy once she wakes up...he needed to get back to the hotel or he could go and just grab the pack they have hidden in Belrad and avoid Mara.

Finally moving out of the house he looked around feeling vulnerable as he hasn't felt in a long time. Stupid Hexxis, why didn't she just stick to something ...and now he was here doing almost the same. Tri should be okay enough ..he would call Mara and she should be close by...which means Ash...she was she? If they had it hidden from him she must still be around, and where would she gone once she was out? Tree...she would go to the darn tree if it was still up all this time later. Kalares wasn't that far off of a flight and he still had the map. Turning he oriented himself and took wing.

Tri quickly caught up with her and tried to stop her by holding on to her shoulders. "Hexxis!" He said quietly trying not to bring to much attention to them but also trying to stop or wake her up. Ree said not to try and stop her but he didn't care, he had to try something.
