"Rei, I said if we MUST, then I will." Melethia said.

"Ugh. Alihi, it's fine. If you want to toughen up, I'll be glad to help you. And Melethia, I'm just saying that I don't want it to come to that anytime soon. It's good to have your support, but I don't want to do anything until absolutely necessary..."

"I got rid of all of that anger I had built up. You don't smell the charred cloth?"

She shook her head. "It's fine. Your comment just caught me off-guard, that's all. 'Sides, it's my problem, not yours..."

Sue had put her weapons away, taking a break from training. "Ah, that's it for today...."
She took a seat, Nomad (Indian) style close to Rei, Alihi, and Melethia. "What are you guys talking about? Can you fill me in?"

"Ah. It makes sense now. It's good to have you back to rational thought. Glad to have you with us." Rei gave a thumbs up to Melethia, and returned to whatever he was doing.
"And Alihi! If you can't handle ONE COMMENT, then who knows if you an handle the trials to come? And besides! Ryuu wouldn't like want you being so weak-hearted, now would he? I'm sure that he'd probably tell you to stay strong, and to keep on keeping on, no matter what happens. Do I have that right?"

"Don't dwell too much on words, Miss Alihi." Sue stated. "I should know that they get you in trouble..."

Alihi sighed. "... Look, my outburst yesterday was strange, even for me. I'm normally collected, and it takes something HUGE to knock me off of that, and your comment definitely doesn't fit that." She sat on the floor.
"I know what Ryuu would say to me right now. He'd say, "Alihi. Don't stop fighting for what you believe in." That's what I'm doing... right?" She looked up at Rei, doubt clear on her face.
"All I can say is that I will try to survive... I don't know why I'm this way. Still shaken up, not at full strength, I don't even know. I don't want to make excuses for it." She stated, giving her hair a light tug.
"But honestly? It's driving me crazy that you all are so worried about me. I feel guilty about it..."
She stopped herself before she could go on.
"AHH! I rambled!" She laughed half-heartedly. "My bad..."

Nils stormed in, slapping Alihi in the face.
"ALIHI! SNAP OUT OF IT NOW! WE CARE FOR YOU, AND YOU BEING THIS WAY IS IRRITATING! NOW CHEER UP!" He whacked her with his flute once for good measure. With a huff, he turned to Rei.
"You can heal her, if you so wish." Then, he exited the house.
(( ... Now this was a fun post to write. x3 ))

Alihi watched speechless as Nils left, covering where he had slapped her with her hand. Then, she burst into laughter.
"Ahh... He's gotten stronger." She rubbed her head where his flute had hit her. "And he's making good use of it, too. Ow... I never thought I'd get whacked by a flute."

((Yay! I saw a sentence on the event summaries that contained my name! I was afraid you'd leave me out with no mention x_x))
It's time for Saturnos Theater: A night outside
I'll break it down into sections, because it's a long monologue.
What does Saturnos do when the night falls and he is without a shelter? He could always go back to Fefga's house, but he already knew he wasn't welcome there. As a matter of fact, he wasn't welcome anywhere except for the village he called home. However, he wasn't home; he was far far away from Prox and he couldn't go back, not yet. With no place to go, he obviously had to camp outside, with all the animals and bugs. This wasn't anything new for him, though; he couldn't even remember the last time he spent a night indoors.

With that said, he was really good with even wild animals. Really bad with people, but really good with the local wildlife. It wasn't wintery cold out here at night like it was at Prox, so Saturnos had no problem toughing out the mild breezes, although having to sit night after night to get some rest was a minor inconvenience he had to deal with. Curious nocturnal animals would occassionally wander near him, perhaps drawn to the natural heat he exuded. Saturnos would not budge, as to alarm these animals, even if they were preditorial animals, like wolves. The sheer redundancy of this behavior has casued these animals to get used to him being around, although there existed only one reason they could be described as unafraid of him.

It boils down to the animals' appitites. Saturnos may be a superior being, but he was still human, and still needed to replenish his strength in the form of nurishment. What did his diet consist of? His favorite food, oatmeal cookies! Oatmeal cookies for breakfast, oatmeal cookies for lunch, and oatmeal cookies for dinner. And desert too! Saturnos wasn't the only one who liked them; inevitably, he became famous amounst the animals for giving free samples of oatmeal cookies to anything that happened to visit him. Where does he get all these cookies, you ask? He makes them; his own secret recipe passed down through generations.
