Welcome to Gaia! ::

Vermillion turned his head to see Chrono come down the stairs. "Heya boss, c'mon over and let me buy you a drink, Your bartender has great taste in whiskey." Vermillion was smiling a bit, the glassly look in his eyes foretold that alcohol on a empty stomach meant trashed, or almost there.

Vermillion grabbed hold of his seriousness for a minute. "I didn't know, i figured i was better off not asking why when he poured it, a lot of wisedom in this house, and a small fish like me shouldn't question it." Vermillion finished what was left in the glass, the burn of it felt good, almost numbing to the back of his throat, and the hard swallow was like a rocket to his gut. The warmth that spread out from there dulled the aches of his body further. "Master Kaos is going to be disappointed, i shouldn't have consumed so much before a duty assignment, and here i am unfit to watch a rock let alone tell Sorrow what she can and cannot do."

"Tea or coffee count as water?" Vermillion didn't find the whole plain water thing too appealing, but his throat was getting a bit scratchy from the alcohol. Vermillion changed topics quickly pulling a small picture that was hand drawn from a pocket in his robe turning it around so it was right for Chrono to see it. "That's my little girl, she's all growed up now in this picture, but she was so tiny when i came here." Vermillion pushed off the stool his anger bubbling up; "I want to make her suffer, I want to break her into pieces....I want to throw her into that place I spent years wasting away locked by my own stupid fear."

Vermillion sat back on the stool. His anger faded away after the few moments of silence and he spoke with his normal tone. " I apologize for rasing my voice, this is a happy time, and I shouldn't let simple problems ruin it."

"I know I know, that's what the ladies keep telling me, and I do my best to stay in the present. I needed something to occupy my time, they settle disputes and acclimate people to life here, and i want to build a garden." Vernillion picked a few crackers and sandwhiched some chesse between them before beginning to chew. His other hand picked the drawing up and slipped it back inside his robe. He was completely oblvious to the fact Tsume had come back into the room.

"Vermillion turned with a cup of tea in his hand, he smiled looking back and focused on eating and trying to get sober. The crackers and cheese were doing the job, and the tea was helping his throat a bit. He sat patiently waiting for the light fog in his head to clear, and the trip home even though he still hadn't heard permission given yet.

Vermillion looked at Kaos sipping from his cup before putting it down. He hopped off the stool and straightened his robes, and moved towards the door. Then in a completely unchararcteristic manner turned around in the threshold of the door and came back inside closing the door again. "Well, you know I'm all for going and doing what you asked of me, but there is just one tweency weency problem. The skill, and the tools needed for me to just hop the next portal out of here are just not in my possession." Vermillion just smiled awaiting the answer to his deliema, but the nice part was he was just a few short steps away from going home. Even if for a short while.

Vermillion smiled; "Well whatever you decide to do, I'll be be right behind following, and thanks for the advice Lord Chrono and hopefully I'm back in time for the reception." Vermillion opened the door for Tsume stepping aside his hand still on the handle to pull it shut when he walked out.

Vermillion looked at Tsume; "I'll stick to my assignment, and maybe bring you back a gift or two. I'll see you in a few hours."

Vermillion stepped up and went through the portal to Arynia.
