Welcome to Gaia! ::

" Eh-eh guh... ... Un? Wha--? "

Once the stone had fallen and created a loud smack on the wood floor, Elergy began to sleepily open his eyes. It was an unfamiliar sound and his brain knew it. Blinking heavily several times and yawning once, he would finally look towards the rooms doorway. Taking a moment to let his eyes adjust, once focused he pulled back a little. Someone was there! It had been... well, months! Holding in his breath, Elergy would look the man over. Who was he, and what was that loud bang he had heard prior?

" Ha-- Hello? "

" Ng... Sorry, I don't really know. L-last I saw anybody around here was... too long ago. A few people have come and gone, not many have paid me mind. "

It was true, the last people around the Dojo had been D and Sairys. Devon had stopped by for a moment, but Elergy had never seen him, and as for Zano, well after he went out to search the area he never came back. Not to say the man was dead, but in the Black Company region, who was to say he wasn't? The questions were a little jarring, having not spoken to anyone in months, this was more conversation than the man had endured for a while.

" Huh? U-oh... I-- There's little in the ways of food round this place. Some small plants maybe, but the animals mostly stay out. Y-you wouldn't happen to have anything on you, would you? "

The mere thought of food made Elergy begin to drool, a slight trickle beginning at one corner of his dry cracked lips. If the newcomer had no food, well it would be disappointing to say the least... but maybe there was some new moss on one of the trees outside, or maybe a mushroom or a snail! It was easy to see that the man was very malnurished, and would barely make an edible meal himself.

Poking his head out of the shadows in a rather dark corner of the dojo common room, Truinthil looked around a bit. There were people here for once. He was sure this place had become abandoned, but apparently someone had use for it. Or maybe they were just passers through. Stepping from the shadows he looked around more and tilted his head at the two that he saw. Neither were familiar to him, but that didn't matter. He studied what he could of them in a mere instant. One appeared to be hungry while the other seemed not to care. Perhaps he could play with them? "Hmm...It certainly has been a long time since I've seen much activity here. I wonder what brings you both to this...oh so wonderful place?" Truinthil said as he tilted his head to the other side now, a small grin on his lips that did not even begin to touch his eyes.

Looking to the skinny, rather hungry looking man that spoke to him, he finally straightened his head and blinked. "What? Are you asking me something? If so, stop stuttering. You must have at least enough strength in you to do that?"

Raising his left hand to tap his fingers idly upon his chin for a moment, Truinthil regarded the starving man for a moment more before turning his head to look at the other man in the room. Taking careful note of the way the man's hand was all but twitching over his sword hilt he couldn't help but chuckle. "Why is it that everyone I ever encounter here is always so quick to draw weapons? I honestly would suggest against such course of action, were I you." Turning then to fully face the man, he spread his arms in an open gesture. "Besides, you can plainly see that I am unarmed." There was a certain light in his eyes though, and his too calm manner that suggested he didn't need such material weapons as swords to fight. "As for those that used to reside here? I really have little idea where they have gone. Draeken, if you know him, is currently at his mansion I believe. He and Phia had a little...fight I guess you could call it. Or something. She stays with Xol most the time anymore. My other half, if you could call him that," Truinthil's lips twisted in a sneer at the mention of the man he was a clone of, even if he was the one bringing it up, "Spends his time at the mansion as well I think. Most of the others I think have simply left the area for reasons unknown to me. It's sad really. This place always used to be a boiling pot of emotions, easily sparked into riots, in a sense." The grin he gave at that last suggested he may have been the cause of some of those tremulous times.

Krono's hand remained steady over the hilt of his sword. He watched and listened to the man speak, intent on his words only to see if he would mention anyone he was looking for. The man was too sly for his liking and could tell by the way he was phrasing his words that he though Krono would stand no chance against him if it ever came to blows. All he could do was smirk at this. Most only though he had his swords to rely on, they had no idea of what else he could, and when they realized he had many more tricks up his sleeve it was usually too late.

Riots....so there had been fighting here as he had suspected. He was disappointed not to here any names that he was looking for. He had no intention of seeking anyone out that he didn't know or have any ties to, but he was beginning to consider staying at this location. It would serve to have an actual place to train rather then his dimension. While he was going over this, he had not shifted his gaze from the new man, he was really lost in his own thought, but if there were much movement he'd be brought back to reality in an instant.

"Forgive me 'friend', but one can never be too careful." Never too careful....that was for sure. You could never be to careful when you openly plotted an assault against heaven. Both heaven and hell had sent agents out to destroy him, one as a preventative measure, the other as a revenge hit. "Let us both agree that a fight isn't in our interest in this point in time? There is clearly more to both of us then either of us knows....or cares to know for that matter." With that said, Krono let his hand drop down to his side and he relaxed a little. He would still be ready to strike should the need arise, but he doubted that anything would come to blows.

He shifted his gaze towards the starving man. If he was going to make this place his centre of operations, he was going to need some food. He saw no harm in letting the man have something to eat. So long as he didn't bother him to much. Krono closed his eyes and leaned on the support for the doorway. "From looking at you, I suppose that there is no food stalked in this place. Perhaps I should go hunting."

" No more than crumbs of crumbs, and those have been ousted by bugs and other vermin for their suppers ages ago. "

In short 'no' no food. Krono held a better chance in hunting than Elergy had with his current lack of energy. There might be some good wild game in the forest, deer, some kind of wild grouse or quail, rabbit and a few other potentials. When Truinthil began talking again, all attention was on he, and his posture didn't go unnoticed.
