Welcome to Gaia! ::

*Mastema almost lets out a sound of suprise upon realization of the hug, but he resists that tendancy. Instead he half smirks and switches the bear to his other hand. His hand now free, he uses it to stroke Nana's hair in a downward, moving his hand back to its starting place with each stroke. A small flutter is heard not to far off, like one would expect from a bird. Mastema glances in that direction for a moment then chuckles silently..... no bird had seven wings*

*Mastema lets out a quiet, relaxed breath.....even though he didn't need to breath. He didn't know why he was still bothering to stand here.... there was no real gain to him...not that he could see at least. Never the less he remains content with Nana. The silence is broken by a light sound* hmm? *He raises a brow and then realizes he'd inadvertedly put enough pressure on the animal to make it squeak. He chukles a little*

*He nods with a sincere and content expression* You are most welcome. It was a pleasant evening for me as well. Now, seeing that the morning is young, I think it best we head back now. Shall we? *As he said his overly used question, his other hand slid around her to her arm and takes her hand in a light grip, his palm facing hers and his thumb resting over her knuckles*

Well then... I shall walk you to your door. *He casually walks back toward the citadel, making sure Nana didn't trip up again. Mastema, for perhaps the first time in who knows how long, was not obsessing over his next plan. He was just content walking down he sidewalk*

((I think that's a good place to end it for tonight folks whee ))

.......Where are you?? stare *Than, scarlet haired, yellow eyed, and clothed in tattered versions of his normal attire walks angrily up to the city limits. Sure enough, the floating drones come..... it was crushed on the ground before it ever even saw Than's face. The city was now on alert. Turrents pop out from the walls off the buildings and fire various beam weapons towards him. Than wouldn't be stopped so easily. A shadow sphere forms around him, any beams that did hit him he ignored. He wasn't interested in this* Mastema!! I know you don't care about insults but just get your @#$&#xin;g @$$ out here!!

*The fight had been raging for a while now, neither seemed to take the upper hand, at least not for long. Each of Than's arms now moved freely, the shackles chain broken, and each long sleeve had turn into a great sword attached to his arms. To anyone else, they were as heavy and deadly as such a metal blade, but to Than they were weightless... mere extensions of his hands. With a blind rage he twirls in a tornado fashion, relentlessly striking at Mastema from various heights*

Gyah! *Than spirals and almost hits his head on the ground, but flips upright, growling at Mastema* I'm @#$&#xin;g pissed as hell for the pain you caused me.... or rather for causing the pain that Thanatos impressed upon me! I won't stop until I'm satisfied with your repent. *He growls once again. Imperial Ray! *Than's swords dissolve and he crosses his long sleeves and hands over his chest, then throws them apart as a long chain of explosions follow along the ground toward Mastema*

Hmm... hmph *Mastema jumps upward to avoid the blast, unfortunately the force throws him off balance. He regains his control very quickly and frowns* do you really think I'm responsible for all that, shouldn't you be hateful of thanatos for that? Oh, that's right, you're nothing but a piece of him isn't that right

Zio: *A few little blips are heard in Nana's room. By the door, a panel slides open and a computer screen turns on. A few moments later a sort of text message appears* "Greetings, Nana. How can I help you?"
