Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Oh my, are you sure you are alright? You seem rather...well, cold...here, allow me." he lowered his arms back, allowing the white jacket of his suite to fall through. Without any real hessitation, he placed it over Alef while moving to her side. "It isn't much, but it would be terribly rude of me to simply stand here and do nothing to try to help." he did smile, hands now placed on her shoulders. Yusake's little encounter was...somewhat different. He blinked at her response, tilting his head a bit more. "Huh?! Eeehh...uhm...oh damn, she must be deaf...or mute...or whatever...hmm..." he lightly nudged her with his foot. Why he did this, well...there's no real reason that a person could probably explain. "Hey...uh, you can hear me at least, can't you?' he nudged her again with his foot, though slightly harder.

Alef opened her mouth almost to protest, not wanting to put him through the trouble, but instead she smiled and nodded her head forward a little "Thank you... you are too kind..." The cold didn't seem to bother her now that she had something covering her. She turned her head sideways a little looking towards the fountain. "I do believe that it is him causing this odd chill..." She said, turning her head away from the guy standing near the fountain.

Taqune sighed as he became tired once again.He pulled Pippa close to him to keep her warm she was now resting in his lap his arms around her waist with her head against his neck.her feet and tail were to the side.Taqune wanted to get a blanket for them,but was really to tired he was alseep in a few minutes.

Yusake blinked quickly, somewhat confused by her sudden, angry tone. "Wha...? Hey! Watch it b***h, I could probably punt your little a** across the school." he said to her, his own tone changing very rapidly. He leaned in and pointed at himself with his thumb, angry now, he couldn't believe she would just say that. "What? Not my fault you didn't say anything, get off your high horse before I smack you down from it!" what was amazing is that this may very well be the longest Yusake had gone being polite...or about as polite as he gets.

Solumone, in the meantime, blinked to Alef and looked back. "Hmm...I see..." he rubbed his chin lightly. With a slight nod, he spoke briefly to Alef while walking off. "Excuse me for a moment my dear." Solulmone made his way to Michio with a considerate and calm approach. He stopped in front of the man, smilling still. "Excuse me, yes excuse me sir. Might I have a word with you? It has come to my attention that you may be the reason for the stark contrast of sessional missmatching. Might I ask it is in fact true you are responsible for this cold? If so, I do ask that you please cease now, as it is making my companion back there quite uncomfortable, among others."

"Why I will stop my cold now that you have asked politly," Dark Michio says as a minor earthquake start and the temperature rises to become warm now, a bulge appears around in the middle of the courtyard and steam release from cracks on is. The area around it become too hot for anyone around it, and hotter but the secound. "Better now?"

Solumone was in fact, still smiling...even with this man's response not being the most olite. His head tilted to the right a little, and he thought for a moment or two. With his smile directed once more to Michio, he nodded. "Ah, I see how things will be. Yusake...kill him..." he turned away as he said casually. Yusake, obviously not expecting this, blinked as he brought his head back up and looked toward Solumone. "Eh?! Wha?!" he blinked again, waiting for Solumone to give him some kind of answer. "Ah, have you not noticed the dramatic changes in temperature? He has been responsible for the sever cold and now the severe heat. He is attempting to disrupt the atmosphere of this place...and considering his response to my obviously polite attempt to stop this in a peaceful manner, he has shown himself to be truly uncooperative. I see that he must be removed, and perhaps it best that you simply kill him." he smiled to Yusake for the entire time he spoke, it was all too casual for Solumone Graves.

Yusake snickered, shrugging this off "Eh, whatever old man...a fight's a fight, and I can't stand assholes anyway. Okay then, I guess your a lucky one kid, 'cause now you get to see just what you'd be up against." As Solumone walked away from the man, Yusake had charged him with his cloak thrown off and the body under it exposed. He wore a pair of simple, black pants with a ligiht brown vest underneath. His entire right arm was a brightly shining metal, mostly silver with gold comprising the joints. His right shoulder was also covered entirely with this very same metal, along with the lower right of his abdomen, the upper left of his chest, and somewhat on his stomach. Compartments opened in several points of the arm, building up a great deal of speed as streams of white flames surrounded it. Before long, Yusake was right in front of Michio, thrusting his fist straight for him. "Buster Shot!" his voice called out loudly through the courtyard.

The punch dispersed and spead the streams of white fire in front, sending waves that flew through the air like ribbons. If the punch hit Michio directly, he would be hit hard and end up with several broken bones perhaps. On top of that, the streams of white fire would slash across his body, giving him several light but painful cuts along it, adding to the blunt damage of Yusake's metal fist. Should the punch miss and Michio were to dodge to the front left or right of Yusake, the force built within the arm as this attack was readied would hit him. It expelled from the arm, creating a cone shaped area of damage in front of Yusake which caused the ground to crack and break apart. The force would knock Michio back as well, though not nearly as hard as a direct hit. And the streams of white fire would also still cut at his body, though not as badly as a direct hit.

Dark Michio pulls his sword out of his sheath as soon as the attack is started. His sword has changed, instead of it being Michio's grandfather's swords, it is a sword that has a twisted hilt, like the kind of Evil Dark Michio is. He positiond the sword to absorb the hit, but he is still sent back and falls into the fountain, which has already unfrozen. "Is that the best you can do?"
