Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( *peeks in* ninja ))

Silent as always the man certainly made the most out of body language. Keno merely smiled as the man made himself more comfortable on the floor than he might have been on the couch. Are ha areba, aru. He wasn't even sure if that English saying made sense in Japanese.

"Well I suppose I should continue then. Let's see...I was talking about the issue I believe. How dramatic of me to call it that," he said with a nervous laugh. He seemed to be stalling. As though maybe he didn't want to admit the truth of the matter, though it should be rather obvious to anyone who had ever known him. Still, maybe if he didn't say it outloud?

"The issue you see," he paused again, faltering over his words as though struggling not to vomit all over the place. He paused for a moment. The lingering silence gave him enough room to clear his mind and address the matter head on. No distractions, no explanations, no ties or binds to anything. All he had to do was say it and the rest would fall into place. That's what he wanted to believe anyway.

"Basically, I had to deal with the harsh realization that Tygre was dying. I suppose it is accurate now to say that he is dead, that is, if you can comprehend a being that doesn't have a body dying." How low and cold his voice was for that fraction of a moment. Pure fact. Absolute truth. There it was as best as he could put it. Still though, having said it, the relief was taking its sweet time settling in on him.

::Though keeping any words to himself, Deity shows either sudden interest or surprise - perhaps both - upon hearing Keno's statement, slowly turning his head and tilting it in the boy's direction, eyebrows lifting. So that's why he was harder to recognize. However subtle or drastic, the Orinian had sensed a change in Keno that made it more difficult to see him as clearly as others. Understanding why answers only one question, however.

Rather than inquire, Deity again tilts his head away and down, once more appearing lost in thought. No doubt, he'll get stuck in another one of his frequent stupors. He silently ponders what other changes to Keno were made after Tygre's passing, and what brought about the death of the entity within him to begin with. Such a powerful inner force doesn't just die.::

Jade easily recongnized the diffuculty Keno had speaking about this one fact, and waited patiently for it. It must be a difficult thing to speak of for one who rarely spoke, and was telling a story now, to be choking on the words.

Still, when Keno finally got the words out, Jade's eyes widened in surprise. She had known Tygre, while not very well, she still knew him. What he spoke about brought a new wave of thoughts to her, ones she wasn't sure she wanted to rest on. For now, she pushed them aside until later.

"Nii-chan...I'm...I'm so sorry..."

The girl didn't know what else to say really.

((GYah...I have to go to bed boys...so....someone do an exit for me...? *pokes Deity* x3 Lol, anyways. Goodnight boys, and Kaen. Catch you later!! *leaps into her Lair*))

Rolling over in bed, a quiet groan escaped his mouth as his alarm fully shook him from his slumber. Clutching his pillow, the thought of falling back asleep did occur to him; however the infernal beeping of the alarm continued to force him to stay aware. Three weeks of planar jumping, watching the beginnings of one of the possible greatest wars of all time and fighting his own half brother had left him wiped. Lucky for him, no-one had yet been able to track him to the Orion, allowing for the wonderful thirty-six hour sleep that he just awoke from.

Since Raven had obtained the room, he had made major modifications to it. Although the Orion itself is hard to track down, Raven made sure that no energy would ever flow out of the room, thus keeping his energy signature hidden inside. Aside from the energy shield, Raven had replaced the rooms lighting, installed multiple interesting electrical devices, and a strange multidimensional computer system that he never used.

Raven swung his legs over the side of the bed and sat up. The alarm had stopped a few minutes ago, turning off as soon as he made the conscious decision to get up. He found indigo glow encompassing the room to be extremely soothing on his eyes. A shower and a few minutes later and Raven walked out of the bathroom.

The light hum of the elevator was somehow still in Raven’s head as he stepped out onto Orion’s main floor. His attire was much more relax, a pair of dark baggy pants and a short sleeve shirt, instead of his usual armored outfit. Moving towards the counter, he wondered what had happened since he was last here.
