"As I said... You're in the care of the Dark Sakura."
Lysira leveled a look at him, her face seeming to say 'Are you quite finished now?'

"I never asked to be brought here. It's the last place I should be in after all."
He gnashed his teeth, neck straining upwards as he motioned with his head.
Whatever arcana binded him was slowly waning, control of his body returning little by little to him. Perhaps a bit of slight from his left eye as it gently began to eat away at what was present.

"Releasing level four restriction..."
Vahn would feel his body being pressed back against the bed by an unseen force as the restriction doubled in potency.
Lysira shook her head and shrugged.
"Not my decision Vahn, I just follow the orders passed down to me. And that was to bring you here. Apparently there's need for you once more..."
Lysira hadn't been around back then, but she'd heard stories of the Princess' shinobi...

"I've got more than enough pressing matters in my hands than to be worrying about broken obligations!!"
He could feel the added pressure, and was only growing more and more sour by the minute.
"If it's about your damned leader, then you've got the wrong guy!"

It was at that moment that Kimiho chose to make her entrance. The feline woman didn't even look to the other woman, her feral gaze was all for Vahn.
"Leave us Lysira."
The younger girl nodded, bowing to her Oracle and exiting silently, her expression solemn.
Kimiho's piercing yellowed eyes met his sour expression with seriousness as she rebuked his statement.
"On the contrary Vahn, you're exactly the man I've been looking for."
She crossed her arms as here eyes bore into him.
"You were the last one with Sierra before she vanished... I was there. I felt the power coming from your room... and I want to know what happened."
It was more of a demand than a request...

"I've nothing to say to you. Let me go or be ready for when I'm ready to get out. And I guarantee you it won't be pretty."
He growled softly again, not feeling comfortable at all with talk about what happened on that night...

"Vahn I'm only asking nicely out of consideration. You're important to Sierra, not me. To me, you're someone who shirked his responsibility and took the easy way out. Now... you have the chance to do right by her, help us save her and you're telling me you have nothing to say?!!"
Her eyes narrowed at him as a low growl resounded in her throat.
"UNACCEPTABLE! You call yourself a man?! All I see a coward hiding from his mistakes!"
Kimiho was intentionally pushing his buttons, but at the same time, she believed what she was saying.
"You can tell us and help us of your free will, or I'll have it ripped from your mind. This isn't just about getting Sierra back anymore... Ra'kar is dangerously close to ascension and she's allied herself with you brother of all people. I don't have time to worry about YOUR hurt feelings and fragile sensabilities!"

"....."
No other words came from his lips, yet the strain on his face was apparent.
"Just what the hell do you think you can do with anything I know? She's gone, she left-- and I'm trying to track someone down who's practically disappeared off the face of the planet."

"Tch."
She looked at him and shook her head.
"Face it, you need us as much as we need you Vahn... maybe even more so."
She scratches the back of her head before slumping against the wall.
"To be honest, we don't know if anything you know can help us or not, but there might be some hints in it. Only way to find out, is to hear what happened."
She closed her eyes and sighed before continuing.
"As for your brother, we have an idea about where he is... and we're already assembling our forces."
She looked at him now, and her look said it all.
"You're either with us or you're against us Vahn."

"How very heroic of you."
He closed his eyes and breathed.
How did it end up like this again?
"Your either with us or against us!"
It was always the same with his brother.... like they were meant to be at each other's throats since the day they were born...
"Your lady took her leave. Permanently. Ra'kar is leading the show and she left with my brother. I told Sierra that I couldn't love her. And she left.
She just left."

"You... you told her what?"
Kimiho just blinked at him in disbelief. Vahn had just affirmed Sunstrike's suspicions.
"What made you tell her that?"

"None of your goddamned business."
He bit his lower lip, causing blood to dribble down a bit.
"Now let me go, or do you treat all your patients this way?"

"Nah, you're the only one getting special treatment."
She glared at him.
"It is our business, whether you like it or not."
She pushed off from against the wall.
"I guess Sunstrike was right..."

"!?"
He arched an eyebrow in visible surprise, hearing her utter that name.
"Did you say---"

"What do you care what I said?"
She looked at him and the made an 'oh I get it' expression.
"OH I SEE... You just have selective hearing. How typical."
