Welcome to Gaia! ::

While struggling to scramble to her feet, she staggered backwards slightly and attempted to balance herself with the wall. Her whole body flared up as leveled her gaze with the greenblood.

"Captain! Captain!" She called after him, her legs began to move as swift as her thoughts. He continued down the corridor towards what appeared to be the control room quicker than she. "Kursha!" Her frustration strained her voice.

It was then that Leeroi flew past her like a freight train. As the ship's power kicked on and all the flashing red lights blinked in slow motion, Leeroi's attack in front of her had her falter slightly, and then rush two-fold with her instincts to protect.

"DON'T TOUCH HIM!" Elidae shrieked, sprinting toward them. She skidded to a halt and propelled herself between Leeroi and Kursha, not caring if Leeroi's fists make contact with her by accident. Staring Leeroi down as she panted, she remained resolute as she shielded her moirail.

"I am ordering you to stand down, soldier!"

[+] Captain Kursha Vidari

Kursha heard the thudding of rapid, heavy footsteps, before a fist took him in the square of his back. All the breath went out of him. He toppled forward and crashed face first into the floor. For a moment he lay prone on the ground, stunned and winded. His mouth opened as he struggled to refill his lungs. Then from behind him Elidae screamed. Kursha managed to flip himself onto his side to look back over his shoulder.

Elidae stood between him and Leeroi, tense and braced to fight as she faced off the blueblood. Kursha could do nothing but stare, expression uncomprehending. He could not believe his lookstubs. Elidae protecting him; the thought had never occurred to him before. His mind remained blank, even as he tried to process the scene before him. Leeroi was quicker on the uptake.

While the blueblood exchanged looks between himself and Elidae, Kursha felt the tension fade from his gut. Air seeped into his lungs. He pushed himself to his feet, ignoring the dull throb of pain from his spinal column. He could not help but bristle at Leeroi’s words. Something in his tone made him uneasy, like a part of him and been laid open and exposed.

“Petty?” Kursha echoed, mouth quirking in a sneer. He stepped to stand in line with Elidae. “I’d say I’m pretty damn benevolent considering your little stunt just now. That more than qualifies you for a write-up if not a dishonourable discharge. Consider this your first and only warning.”

He turned to Elidae, still poised for action. At the sight of her, he remembered his own tangled up emotions, but it was neither the time nor the place. “Thank you, Sergeant. If you could get the control panel.”

The sight of Leeroi looming in front of her had the yellowblood caught in a storm of emotions. He only stood a few inches taller than her, but his bulk and intimidating aura created an illusion that she was much smaller, much more feeble than she thought herself to be, and he could easily destroy her. Despite her steadfast stance and holding his gaze, Elidae inwardly wilted in fear. Hemera was right. Eridia was right, sweeps ago. Worst of all- Leeroi remained remorseless.

The sharp, prickling sensation of tears ready to release as Leeroi's laugh echoed in the room. She opened her mouth to protest, but no words came. Her? Confusion set in. As she felt Kursha's presence to her side, she looked to him, imploring for an answer, but as well had a more difficult time sorting through her feelings. As relieved as she was that he seemed okay, she still felt a pang of frustration.

"Yes, sir." After throwing up a salute, she briskly turned away and addressed the ship's control panel. Giving them a final look from behind her shoulder, we went to radio in HQ.

"We need to set out the explosives." She finally said, though only to herself. Looking to Hifumi, Elidae paused and her face twitched and fell into embarrassment.
