Das Steube Ayx stepped forward, armor clanking gently as he did. He raised a claw-like gauntlet to point at Erica. "And you are?" He asked.

By now even the boy had noticed Ayx, and he jumped back... bringing him a little closer to Blitz, actually, and squeezing the baby a little more than a mother would.
Unhae just swallowed hard and stared up at the Flaming Shade.

Ayx examined the woman for a moment, his "eyes" buring down at the smaller woman through the crimson glass covers of the porcalin mask.
"Ayx."

Erica glanced back at the kids, "relax some, no one's going to hurt you." She hooked her eyes to the boy, "Don't hold that baby to tight."
She turned back to Ayx, and met his scarlet glass eyes. She'd worked with the villains long enough to know how to deal with intimidation tactics, the shade's gaze gave her a slight chill, but it wasn't enough to push her. "And why are you here, Ayx? Or are you just checking out the scenery?"

The baby started to cry, having woken up when the boy squeezed too hard, and the boy was suddenly frantic. "Oh no! Where's--where's Contact? Hey, Unhae?" He had been entrusted with the baby, but he had absolutely no idea what to do with one.
Unhae had been the youngest in her family, so she didn't really know either. In any case, she was standing quite a bit closer to Ayx than the boy was, and the strange blades of the shade's armor took up all of her wide-eyed attention.
The boy turned to Blitz and Erica, the only adults--even if A.C. had said to him privately not to trust them.

Erica let out a sigh and turned to the boy, "Come on, I'll hold him...or her...." She could tell the boy was nervous and gave him a soft smile. "Relax, kido, I have a baby of my own, she's kind of grown up though...really fast and unexplainably, but still."

She'd worked with the villains long enough to know how to deal with intimidation tactics, the shade's gaze gave her a slight chill, but it wasn't enough to push her. "And why are you here, Ayx? Or are you just checking out the scenery?" "Well, being as the war's over now, what else am I supposed to do? No more Dreadnoughts, Enforcers, innocent lives to snuff out, no Presidents to betray, no nukes to blow up, no cities to level. So I figured I would wander, get a measure of this place. And then you caught my eye. A pretty little gem that the Maker would be MOST interested in."

She was about to give him a snappy comment about the ridiculous nature of the war when one word caught her attention, "Maker?" Erica's head quirked. Then the porcelain mask with crimson eyes clicked into her memory. He'd worn a mask similar to it at the costume ball years ago, and would occasionaly wear one with his armor. "And who is this maker?" She asked carefuly, quietly.

Erica closed her eyes for a moment, holding back any small sign that would give her emotions away. "Where is your maker now?"

Eulalia Danae Erica closed her eyes for a moment, holding back any small sign that would give her emotions away. "Where is your maker now?" "He was in Krovh when the bombs went off, although it takes more than a nuclear weapon to kill him. Ora's tried, I've tried, all of Krovh and Phoenix tried. Somthing like a cockroach."

A tight fear gripped Erica's insides, but subsided quickly at the large chance Xeen was still alive. She let out a small chuckle, "I've had a large number of death attempts as well, only suiting I suppose. And why exactly did you attempt to kill him?"

"You're sounding like my daughter." Erica raised an eyebrow. "So now that you know of me and where I am, what do you intend to do with this knowledge, Ayx?"
