Mirror nodded and rather noticed his foolish actions when Vincent had pointed them out. They hadn't eaten at all since they left the tavern and they hadn't been sleeping well either. Feeling sheepish, Mirror bowed his head once and continued off of Odilen's story, "We were in the tavern when the Overlord came to Masamune, speaking of Saevam. But her connection was cut short and she faded before anything else could be said. She seemed worried, almost frightened. So from what knowlege we could scavange, we began searching for you and we were led to Lady Ali'ance who then pointed us here. Forgive us for seeming foolish but we are out of sorts."
The Al Sylian bowed his head again and tucked his little wings close to his back, looking up at the people who were almost either half his size or a foot taller than him. Mirror casted his golden eyes to the others, waiting if they had anything else to say before Vincent spoke once more.

"As I'm sure you do, Vincent. However, others have tight schedules the same as you." His eyes narrowed in slight annoyance. he didn't need to eat but sleep was rather important to him and he hadn't been able to get any. PLus, he hasn't been at home to see his own family and he had no idea where Reika and Koni were. Ad din Vincent's rather uppity attitude and it made for him to feel rather.. annoyed, a rare feeling from him. "We need to know where Saevem is.. and why Elizabeth appeared before us with a warning of 'they're coming' and then speaking her name."
Unlike most, he felt there was no reason to cower before the man. Yes, he held important information but to him, he was still just a man. "I don't know if you know who is coming to cause the ghost of the Overlord so much worry but I am concerned about Saevem. May not have known her long but she is a friend... least I'd like to think so. So mayhap some patience on both ends of spectrum wouldn't hurt. We've been searching for quite some time and most haven't eaten or rested. And some feel a bit more comfortable and at ease if they could sit down and at least get a semblence of relaxation from that. You wouldn't deny them this, hmm? Considering we've been looking everywhere for you."

Knowing that Quinn, at least, was still not far behind him, Shyam hurried back to where he'd left the others. Just as he did, he heard that last if Akiya's annoyed speech and silently applauded him in his own head. He hadn't had many dealings with Vincent, and part of him was still grateful to him as his benefactor into the guild. But the other part had been royally annoyed with his arrogance as well. Which was why the rogue had been so willing to be the one to go find their other companions before he did something, stupid, without thinking.
"Hey guys. I found the others," he announced his presence as he approached silently from the side. He knew that Vincent had seen him coming, but he wasn't so sure about the others. "We've lost Junkan, but Quinn isn't far behind me. So, any luck yet?"

Therin chuffed a little at the man, letting him know, in no uncertain terms, that he would get there when he got there and no amount of hurrying from him would change that.
Quinn finally perked from her perseved failure and looked around, a bit unsure, before she finally noticed Caneton. "Oh... Did you find him then? What did you tell him? I hope you didn't make it sound too urgent... people like that tend to take advantage... Do you have any food? Like a peanutbutter and jelly sandwich or something? All I've had is candy... Hurry up, Therin! We don't want to miss him!"
The Aziraphale glanced at her over his shoulder, eyebrows raised, and then gave a haughty look to Caneton, one that said "see, I told you you couldnt hurry me," and then sped up, moving to pace the rogue.

Vincent narrowed his eyes with complete and utter distaste as he was referred to in such an impolite manner, instead he simply released a snort of disbelief and seemed to laugh at their stupidity, as though their reactions were completely and utterly -
"Pathetic." He murmured at last and released as sigh as he turned on his heel so that his back was facing the group, "If you had any ounce of intelligence you would have gone to her house." He chastised coolly as he drifted further down the street with a hint of irritation in his side, his pace was suitably more brisk than before and his jaw set...he had taken everythign in jest but the insults were not appreciated - it wasn't his fault they sat around all night waiting for the slip of a woman!
"Evidently they have no ounce of intelligence." He mused silkily to himself as he took a few more steps and then hopped up one of the stairwells a short distance away to knock at the door.
There was a pause and then it slowly opened and the tiny blond head of Saevem peeked out. She was completely unharmed.

If Akiya had any ounce of repeat for that man, it definately disappeared in that second. But he didn't seem to respond. If Vincent had an ounce of intelligence himself, he would have realized they were looking fo rhim to ask because they had no idea where the hell her house was. What an assumin glittle upstart. The only pathetic person he saw had knocked on Saevem's door. It wasn't hard for him to follow him, long legs were good at that, but when he saw where Saevem's house was, he took a mental note to recall it. He would never rely on someone like Vincent ever if he could manage it. To the angel, Vincent's actions were insulting within itself and there was no jest anywhere in his speech.
But he got the feeling that he might have already known they were looking for him and purposely played this idiotic game with them. Well, he hoped he was amused with himself. Idiot. Evidently, Vincent had no idea how to respect anyone. But he forced his annoyed outlook to disappear when he saw her. Odd.. she was perfectly fine. "Lady Saevem..." He bowed before her as was the polite thing to do and he had nothing against her so he didn't take out his temper on her. "Tis good to see you are well... but this confuses me a bit.. Ladt Elizabeth mentioned your name.. like you were in danger... and said they're coming. But... if you aren't hurt..." Then what did this mean?

Odilen blinked - and then started laughing. Hard.
There's a time when one is very tired that everything becomes hilarious...
"Go... to her house!" she gasped, aware that she was probably cementing Vincent's opinion of her but unable to stop. "Did you all even... know where her house was?" The whole situation was too ridiculous.
BoCo, perched atop his bond's head, decided this silliness had gone quite far enough. Showing more foresighed than usual, the tiny chicobo grabbed a lock of her hair in his beak and pulled. Hard.
"Ow!" The sudden pain snapped Odilen back to herself, clearing some of the fog a bit, and she focused on the child. Well, the girl seemed to be alright... but Odilen made no move to step forward and talk to Saevem. She didn't know her at all, which seemed to be the order of the day, and thus allowed the others more familiar with the situation to speak. The bard hadn't actually seen the Overlord's appearance, after all. "Her house," she muttered, under her breath. "She's probably listed in the phone book, for crying out loud..."

Saevem appeared to be mildly amused by the somewhat disapproving expression upon Vincent's face, however she was touched by the concern that those outside her door seemed to hold for her despite the fact that they scarcely knew her - nevertheless, she did allow herself a glance between the two and then a soft sigh as though mildly confused...it seemed that stuttering seemed to be the main meal of the week.
"You had best come in." She murmured simply as she ushered Vincent inside (he gave a disgruntled snort at this) and motioned to Akiya and the others; she said little else and instead she left the door open and very calmly slipped down the corridor towards the warmest room of the house where the flames could be heard crackling within the fireplace.
"Close the door behind you." She added in a calm tone.

Mirror, befuddled beyond all belief by Vincent's words, stumbled along behind Akiya. He felt nothing at the moment for he was rather tired, but he just simply stared at the exchange between Vincent and Akiya. Then he was startled by Odilen and the arrival of the others. Look to Saevam's house? They didn't know where she lived. But...Mirror smacked his palm into his own forhead and disappeared for a moment to cancel the lunch at the nearby parlor.
Idiots? They weren't idiots. Perhaps everyone was just in a tired mood today. Yes, that had to be it.
Turning back to the group just in time to watch Vincent stalk away with the rest of the group behind him, Mirror stumbled after Akiya and kept himself nearby, unsure of Vincent's mannerisms. He seemed like a nice and cocky fellow at the Festival so why...?
The Al Sylian didn't let it bother him. Besides, he didn't have much time to think about it before Saevam poked her head outside the door of her home and looked relatively...Dandy, as irony would have it. Mirror would've stood dumbfounded but tried to keep himself polite and followed the others into the house after the given invite.
Just like most of the people in the party, Mirror didn't partically know Saevam all that well. He hardly knew her, actually. Perhaps...What the Overlord wanted was for the party to venture and tell something of urgence to Saevam, like those words, 'They're coming.'. Saevam was never in danger. All they really needed to do was dilever the message and be prepared for their next task if they were to be given one.
Relieved either way, Mirror followed the two down the hallway to the warm room. Peering about, Mirror took note of the fire and made his way somewhere far away from the flames. That was his only other fear. Fire. The Al Sylian cast a wary glance at the licking orange fingers and then watched as the others came in one by one to fill the room.
"Pardon me, Saevam, but you are truely alright, correct?" Asked Mirror as he tried to present himself as best as possible in his weary state.

"I'm sorry Quinn, I don't have any food on me,"Shyam replied, truly sorry. "I didn't know that we were going in search of anyone until I met Akiya at the Tavern. But I know that Mirror was looking for a place for us to eat, we'll hopefully get your group some food soon."
Shyam smiled kindly her pets, hiding his annoyance behind a gentle mask. No point in making enemies.
When they heard Vincent's reply Shyam wasn't sure whether his annoyance was with Vincent or the others in his group. Vincent's words made logical sense... in an, albeit, condescending manner. Honestly, the rogue had no idea what he'd gotten into. He didn't know anyone here, and had no idea of who Saevam was or why anyone was looking for her, but the mystery of it intrigued him.
Since he knew the least of what was going on, Shyam made sure he was the last one of their group to enter the house and he locked the door behind them. He then followed the others down the hall to the warmer room. The rogue hadn't realized that he'd been cold outside, until he was immersed in the comfortable room.
As the others took their place around the room, he leaned nonchalantly against the wall, near the door, striking a carefree pose, while all the while ready for anything. He took this time to carefully study everyone in the room. Watching their mannerisms out of the corner of his eyes, while seeming to be consume in watching the flames dance on the logs.

Get a hold of yourself, Odilen scolded herself mentally, straightening up and brushing at her skirts so that she looked somewhat less rumpled and exhausted. Perhaps inside she could excuse herself to the restroom and splash cold water in her face until she felt better.
When they entered the warm room, Spark bounded out from under Odilen's skirts immediately, stopping right in front of the fireplace and curling up with a flick of his tail. The coeurl looked quite comfortable as he began to excude the aura of 'move me and die' that cats are so very good at producing.

Quinn hurriedly followed everyone else in, scooping up Llyan and calling to Therin to wait over her shoulder. She didn't suppose the girl would want the large canine creature in her living room.
Llyan hopped down and padded over to Spark, joining him by the fire as Quinn made her way to Saevem. Seeing that the girl was alright, she made none of the pretense to ask after her health that the others made. She had began to have another idea about Elizabeth's cryptic message anyway.
"I think Elizabeth needs you." She said, directing herself to Saevem. "She appeared to us at the Tavern, talking to Roan through the body of a moogle. She's done this once before that I've seen, but this time, she got cut off, saying 'they're comming' and then speaking your name. I have heard that you have some skill at communicating with the dead... what does it all mean?"

Precision, that was what was required and very slowly the medium gave a nod and patted upon Vincent's hand as if to tell him not to be so tense. Even as she gazed at the group before her however, a small smile lingered upon her lips and after a few moments she 'popped' her lips in thought - granted she was a Spirit Medium but she wasn't a Seer.
"It is evident that Lady Regalia is watching over something that we cannot see." She said finally, releasing a heavy sigh as she curled her fingertips around Vincent's gloved hands and tentatively examined the blue paper lanturn in her own childish manner - for some obscure reason it seemed to pulse itself and thus it was apparent that it was magical by nature, "I lack the skills to travel or see the sights in which she refers to." She grimaced and after a few moments released Vincent's hands and turned her attention back to the group.
"My only advice to you is to return to where such an event occured, if she continues to appear in the tavern then from my experiences with Elizabeth I know she will try again." She tilted her head to the side, her grimace now replacing the smile that had once lingered upon her lips, "You should be there in case she returns...in the mean time I will exhaust my own sources to see if I can uncover what she refers to, but I offer no promises."

Akiya stood towards the door, too tall to really be able to find a comfortable place to stand elsewhere and plus, he always felt off center in other people's houses. But it helped him keep a good view on everything around him, though his gaze was on Saevem. Maybe most wouldn't notice it, he saw little things that made him wnder. She didn't cling so much to VIncent's hand at the Festival and had a lot more energy than this.. also, she didn't.. feel right to him. His lips pressed into a flat line. Something was wrong with her. He was almost positive of it.
But he said nothing at first, since she was speaking. Return to the Tavern? All this running around was really hurting his head. But maybe he'd be able to meet up with Koni, get screamed at for the next three hours and get some sleep. That would be a bad thing. BUt when she finished, he carefully moved closer to her and knelt down. "Lady Saevem, are you all right?" Lifting a hand, his fingers brushed the air around her forehead. "You don't seem well... maybe it's because I'm a healer I tend to notice these things... but your grimace and the way you take special care with your words makes me wonder... you shouldn't push yourself if you're unwell..."

As Akiya was checking out Saevam, Shyam leaned close to Quinny and whispered in her ear. "On our way out of here, can you please explain to me what all this has been about? I knew that you all needed to find Vincent... but beyond that, I'm so lost!" The rogue smiled, confused and aplogetic.
Shyam was just trying to grasp what was going on. He'd just been trying to help out the nice Angel and his friends...but now he was lost.... though intrigued! Myabe he'd have to travel back to the Tavern with everyone just to find out what was going on...
