Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sokras took the clothes and looked them over. He frowned. "Austin...these are..." He shook his head. "Nevermind, it's impossible for you to know the difference." He took the clothes and went out of view for a bit. When he returned, what he was trying to say was evident. The clothes were for a woman.

"This is fine. I asked for a disguise. Besides, this viallges clothing is hard to tell the difference with unless you've lived here." Sokras re-donned the coat that seemed to make the new clothes perfect. He then put the hat on. Just like that, he looked a female traveler. "I guess this makes you the 'husband.' Eh?"

Sokras leaned against Austin, playing the part. The man called Anei spotted them and pointed them out to the woman. He walked up to them. "You must be travelers. We don't see your kind much out here. Welcome to Fubajiyashi Village!"

[This is: Anei.]

Sokras kept his eyes trained on the ground. Instead, he nodded mutely in return. He didn't trust him self to act accordingly. Even more so, with looking at Anei's face.

Anei smirked was that of a leader and a man confident about him self. Looks included. "I am Anei, the Village Headman here. And this..." He motioned to the woman he was standing next to. "...is my lovely wife. Tell me, are you planning to stay, or just passing through?"

"AH-ha! So it is. Very well then!" Anei turned towards his wife and said something to her. She then went inside. Moments later, a young boy came out. "This is my son, Gin. He'll take you to the inn." Gin, like his father, was also handsome. But he was also just a boy.

Sokras chewed on his lower lip. Because their height was close, he could see Gin. He wanted to cry. He thought with Austin it wouldn't affect him. This was...all of it...overwhelmingly too big a step for him. He tugged on Austin's sleeve.

Sokras leaned against Austin, wanting to be as close as possible while standing.

Anei noticed the younger 'woman's' mannerisms. "Is she ok? Your wife. She looks a bit sick. Should I send a doctor along?" Gin stood there, curious about the two people standing before him. "Hey, pops, she looks similar to that friend you always told me about..." "Gin!"

"I understand. The forest is an exhausting place to go through." He then looked at his son. "Lead them to the inn, son." "Hm? Okay pops!" "And..don't say a word about the past. Especially not to strangers!" Gin flinched hearing the edge in Anei's voice. "Yes father. C'mon, this way!" Gin walked a little ways ahead of them. Anei waved them off with a smile.

Sokras ended up using the staff for support as he walked alongside Austin. It hurts. It hurts so bad! Why? I should be fine now! So why does it hurt! He then gasped as he felt a familiar sensation. It was faint for it was far away, but it was there. The touch...of destruction. Kujo!!!

Far, far away in a tower that watched and governed over the Edge of the Universe, there stood Kujo Mokushi. He looked a bit different. Like a Dark Lord. Besides him, stood a woman whose beauty would blind those unworthy of seeing her. "They have arrived Lady M." Her full lips smirked. "How simply...marvelous."

Sokras said nothing as he buried his face in Austin's chest, tears flowing like rivers. He was hurting so much. That person...and that woman...even more so the kid... Seeing that was what he'd run from in the first place. He hasn't aged a day. And he looks so happy. I've suffered so much. I probably would be if Austin weren't here. Austin... He looked up at said person, his eyes full of pain. "Austin..."

{Dammit...I'm about to cry... What the hell!?}
