Null walked down the pathway leading to the entrance of the mansion. "Where are ya'll off to?" Null asked, smiling. He hadn't seen anyone for a long time, since everything happened and the Turks disbanded he guessed. Seeing Aerith and Yuffie just made things better. Yuffie was definitely a handful, but fun. Aerith on the other hand, she was quiet and kind. Null found her easy to get along with, but was never really his type. To goody he supposed. He didn't recognize the two kids, but he figured they were there for a reason.

Elena raised her attention to the familour young man. Seeing as Yuffie and Aerith hadn't gotten far, It was easy to spot Null from where she sat. Finally standing from her seat, The Ex-Turk walked down the porch and headed over to the small group.
Yuffie grinned, waveing to Null. Yeah, she hadn't seen him for quite some time. "Long time no see, Stranger! Two little Turkies to join us!" She raised her hands in a cheering motion. "Are you comeing with us too?? Were going shopping!" Yuffie was definitely energetic today.
Aerith smiled in all kindness, when did the women not smile? The cetra nodded her head gently in greeting. "Hello, Null. Glad to see your safe."

"Yeah, I'm fine. Glad to see you all are safe. Who else is in there?" Null looked behind to see elena on the porch and waved. "And who are the kids?" Null asked. He never really got kids, so acting cutise for them wasn't his thing.

Aerith shook her head. "No one else, sadly. I'm unsure of where everyone else is.It's so quiet lately." The young cetra finally glanced down to the younger ones. "Oh! Im sorry. This here.." She rested a hand on top of Ariels head. "Is my daughter, Ariel." After ruffleing up her hair she then tapped Marlenes. "And I think you would know Marlene! She was...4, When you seen her last. Both girls are 6."
Marlene grinned up at Null, For her age, she was very mature.Not at all how some 6 year olds may of acted. "Hello,Null.."
Ariel slipped behind Aerith, pokeing her head out and giving the smallest hint of a smile. Unlike Marlene, she could be a bit shy with strangers. "Hi.." Then she hid again.
Elena crossed her arms, seemingly bored. She really didn't feel up to going shopping with the group, but it was up to Null. There wasn't that much to do,really. "What do you want to do, Null? Go with them? Or search for Rufus?"

"This is Marlene? Wow, she got big? And your daughter? I'm happy for you." Null looked back at Elena, he knew she was never into shopping, even though he liked to get some cloths and stuff on the occasion, but he was also dirt broke. He sighed and looked back at Aerith and Yuffie. "Ya'll go have fun, Elena and I need to take care of some things." He waved good-bye to the others and headed for the porch. "Where do we start?" Null asked, sitting down on the porch.

"I know, They grow so quickly." Aerith answerd, laughing softly. "Thank you." She then turned away, glanceing back to Yuffie who was getting axtious to leave on her own if they didn't stop talking.This only made the cetra laugh again as she walked over to her. "We will see you later, then!" Waveing, The two continued on there way.
Elena was more then thankfull he could read her so easyly. She just didn't want to do that.Elena was much more concerned about the wearabouts of Rufus then anything else. "I think we should check at the Shin-Ra building. He might not be there, but there might be some sort of clue we can go by to finding him..Do you mind if we head there now?"

"No worries, the sooner we get there, the sooner we find him, hopefully." Null stood up again and rested his hand on the hilt of his katana sheathed on the side of his belt. "It would be nice to see what happened to it. I've yet to go there since then.

Elena nodded, as she walked down the small steps of the porch. "Really? I've tryed to get inside a few times but I always get interupted before I can get into the building.There are rumors going around that it's been infested with monsters. So just incase, be on the look out." From there on, Elena walked off down the pathway into the direction for the Shin-Ra building.
"I hope we find -something-."

Null quickly followed her. A short while later, Null found himself staring at the mass heap of rubble that was Shin-Ra. "Wow... I knew it was bad, but... wow..." He simply just stared at it. Not that it was his particullarly favorite place in the world, it was where he began his career as a Turk, so seeing ti destroyed made him a little sad. But no tears, he hadn't shed a tear in a good many years. They didn't do anything but make your face wet and you seem weak.

"I guess im not the only one that has a problem with how it looks now. But the good news is, The remaining bit of soldiers are that refuse to let Shin-Ra fall completely, are working on building the destroyed area's of the building. Now if we find Rufus, We can get Shin-Ra back up! And who knows....Maybe we can have a job again."
Elena walked up the steps, and rested a hand upon the doorway of the building before pushing the doors open and walking inside.There was light in the buildings, even the elevators that hadn't gotten destroyed worked. It seemed to be only one that was working."Alright, Let's go to his office!..Well, what remains of it,anyway." She hurryed inside of the elevator, holding it open for him to enter before pushing a botten.

Shaking away the memories of everything, he followed Elena into the elevator. "Are we sure this thing is safe to be in? It seems like it hasn't been used in years." Null backed up against the wall and watched the doors close in front of him.

"Im sure its safe. Yuffie comes in here sometimes, so im sure she had to use the elevator to get where ever she went off to.." She wasn't really worryed. Probably should be, as it was a long way's up.Rufus's office was way at the top.There was a click, as the doors closed and the elevator begain to raise to the destination.....
"...Well, so far so good!"

Null leaned against the back of the elevator, his arms folded across his chest and closed his eyes. He was never a fan of small spaces. Not clostrophobic, just didn't like to be confined. He felt the moving of the elevator from the wall on his back, and listened to hear any strange noises. The rumors of the monsters in the building worried him. Sure, he could take monsters and all that, but you never know what kind of strange experiments are wondering around from the Shin-Ra science department.

After a few minutes of the ride up, The elevator came to a comeplete sudden stop, the entire thing vibrateing and raddleing a little before the doors opend.They were then met by white marbel floors, in which lead them into a large room.The staircase they would have to first go up, which would lead them right into the presidents office.
"Well..We didn't die from the ride. " She smirked, looking to Null as she walked out of the elevator. "You doing okay?" The blonde continued her way to head for the staircase and walked up..

Opening his eyes, he saw the floor stretched out before him. "Yeah, I'm fine." Null took one step and exited the elevator. As he followed Elena, his hands dropped to his side, his left pulling the pistol from its holster, and the other resting on his blade. He had a bad feeling, but he figured he was just being paranoid, but that didn't stop him from being worried. His face became the stern face only the other turks, Rufus, and the people he killed knew.
