Welcome to Gaia! ::

Without harming Illiana or Zelos, she let her head bang against the wall behind her, and she broke that quiet connection she had. Staring up at the ceiling, she could hear the babies cry simultaneously as she bit her lip and closed her eyes. It only made sense that he would look after his own wife first, but she was so worried about Jay! Thier palace, their fortress that Jay had had constructed just for the Kimaches had been breached, all they had was a wooden hovel of a pauper doctor! "Aes. I don't know what to do, or where to go. Where's Wedsday? If this really were like the old days, at least I would have the three of us facing something. Our familes tear us apart, as much as we love them, we've still got to stick together."

No strong emotions, she was too tired now. The babies had not stopped crying, Jay still lay in a messed up bundle, and the sight of Aes removing bullets from Kasumi before bendaging her turned her stomach and it wasn't normally that delicate. Wedsday mad? No....no, it really couldn't be. He'd been more of a family to her than her own sister. Even his peculiar relationship with Kiasys Kimache was something Pale had tolerated. Not only because Kia had appealed to the controversy that surrounded her own marriage to Jay, but because it was what Wedsday had wanted, and she thought he could finally get the family he'd wanted. The orphanage, the dress shop full of girls, all attempts at that and now she thought he'd finally reached it. What had sunk him so low as to lose his mind? And if Aes had all these "mental abilities" then why hadn't he gone for Wedsday before this, or waited after bandaging Jay and Kas and then gone to heal Wed himself? Mindlessly she rocked her body back and forth until the cries turned to soft mews. So the infamous Chantico, she'd finally get to meet her outside of Pale's dreams too.

No more words to Aes for right now, she was going to watch and see what took place between the two of them. Hearing the knock, she once agains shifted her weight and nudged the door open with her foot. Suer enough it was Chantico standing there, looking just as confused yet determined that she was doing theright thing as Pale imagined and pieced together from the frequent walkks they took. Even the cross necklace, finally unblurred, was there. Gaudy yet resplendant in all the gold and pearls. It wasn't a sour look, just a drained one that had her motion to Aes and lead Chantico to him soundlessly. But Pale would stay to watch the exchange.

It sounded like he'd just given her a command, but for once she didn't bristle that someone besides a true figure of authority was telling her what to do. Aes had very carfull found out where Wedsday was and told her what to do. The only thing was how Pale was going to deal with all thise. She needed someone with her that knew a lot about Wedsday's history, Pale in that way knew even more than Aes did. But still, they'd had a really formal relatioship when they had been walkng. What would it be like now? "Pleased to meet you" Chantico mumbled as they headed out the door.

*She felt the gentle touch of Aes at her side, and she then realized everything was all right. For all she knew, their house wasn't destroyed. The threat wasn't still out in the forrest, and that bloody mess wrapped up in towels was ultima, and not her brother.*

*As Kasumi began to get operated on, she would lay back on the table and close her eyes. The world seemed like a dream...words were either spoken so slowly that it just sounded like one continuous hum, or so fast paced that the words were jumbled together. The only thing she could hear clearly were the sounds of two infants crying. Suddenly she felt the cold pangs of metal entering her, drawing out the bullets that had been put in her. One...two...three. She counted each and every one until each was accounted for. She breathed a sigh of relief to herself as she began to be patched up. She began to breathe steady as a warm blanket was put over her. She opened her eyes a few minutes later, seeing nobody but that bloody mess next to her and Aes leaning on the table. She gave him a weak smile, really unable to speak yet. Then a light cough escaped her lips and she finally asked* "How are you and Zelos?"

Ultima opened his eyes in a flash and sat up as much as he could with broken arms and cracked ribs. A look of shock took his face, his mouth came open as if to scream but there was no sound but a low heaving gasp. Desperately trying to move he pulled himself off the bed and onto the floor, unable to move his arms or leg.

(( he just cant move them and he kinda broke some stuff getting down.))

Only seeing the legs of someone coming Ultima tried to move again, this time to defend himself, trying to swing his immobile arm upwards and move forward by headbutting the air. Ultima had no idea where he was and the last things he remembered were people tearing his limbs off and burning his flesh. He was not about to let his guard down.
