Welcome to Gaia! ::

<<::beats Gaia to within an inch of it's life:: WORK you trashy thing, you!! gonk >>

Physical strength and stamina is hard to do without straining yourself...wearing yourself out. The key is to maintain your body, and train your technique to become more powerful, or faster.

::The tall Orinian smiles broadly to Jade. Sometimes it is hard to tell whether he is truly happy when he smiles, or if it is a mask he puts on to prevent others from worrying about him. He reaches over with his left arm extended across the gap between their seats, playfully nudging her right shoulder with his fist before bringing it back.::

....it's more of a mental thing than most think. So don't worry about it so much...

((OOc: Alright that took longer than I thought.))
Ahtel changed the position of her gaze back around the room, she realized that she heard no spoken answer but could hear several people in another room. On a whim Ahtel decided to hang a right and take a seat at the bar. She sat and straightened out the wrinkles that had formed from the change in her position and began to ponder again, This is a drinking establishment of some sorts my presence should not be too surprising. I should not venture to meet the others that might be unwelcome, being not invited. As Ahtel spoke she had drifted off in to a deep stair on the polished black bar top and unconsciously ran her fingers repeatedly across a loose piece of lace on her dress.

< whee ...and welcome back, Ahtel.>>

...hm?

: biggrin eity blinks a few times at Jade's sudden question, leaving him unsure of how to answer. He glances off to his right with just his eyes, thinking of how he should answer. Elaborating on the subject will only make her worry about him, which isn't something Deity wants to do. After just a second or two after her question, he speaks with a quick answer, tilting his head to the right as he looks at Jade inquisitively.::

...what d'you mean? Like what...?

Jade narrowed her eyes slightly at Deity, sitting up in her chair more and bringing her arms down, crossing htem over her chest slightly.

"...Ty...."

It was a rariety for her to use his real name, much less the shortened version of it. She wanted to get his attention, and that name had power behind it when it came from her mouth. She looked at him dead in the eyes, her tail swinging lighlty over the front of hte chair.

"I know you better than that....don't hide it from me. It makes me worry more..."

((Oh, I should be on....lol. Probably doing on thing or another. ^ ^))

Jade watched his reaction carefully, now wishing she hadn't said that name either. It was a powerful thing...but it also was a very bad thing. And from the looks of it, things had changed dramatically from before her absence to now.

This is what you get for being gone so long...

She sighed slightly and closed her eyes for a moment, looking forward. She listened to Deity, and slowly turned and smiled at him. Her hand reached out, and squeeed his shoulder lighlty, reassuringly.

"You're welcome...and just so you know...no matter what happens, I'll be there for you...alright..?"

::Ten agonizingly slow seconds tick by after the last word leaves Jade's mouth, and nothing happens. Deity remains staring down at his lap, his hands now balled into fists around the fabric of his vest. He is glad that Jade has come back, and has been around so much. He gets to see her much more now. He also now has more to worry about.

If his nightmares that plague him each night truly are not just memories, and possibly some sort of sign of things to come, he can't take the risk of putting her in danger.::

Th-thanks....Jade...Deity's gonna g-go....

::He lifts his head and looks at Jade, his eyes partially visible from over his glasses. His orbs are unusually more red than usual, almost blood red. More than likely because his emotions are racing through him like a hurricane. He suddenly oepns his legs and press his feet to either side of the lengthy chair, before standing up and stepping over it to stand between their two seats.

He looks down at Jade with a soft smile, nodding once to her. A much more somber, apologetic expression washes the smile away, hidden quickly as Deity lifts his scarf back up, obscurring his face once more. He hates to leave so abruptly, but he needs to clear his thoughts a little before doing anything else. Stuffing his hands into his pockets, Deity completely hides his ki signature - to ensure he cannot and will not be followed - before suddenly vanishing via Shunkido.::

< whee ::lepoof::>>

(( o o' Why are we beating gaia? >>; *digs out a piko hammer and bonks gaia on the head* Poink! ))

::The elevator doors of Orion hiss open. After it's trip up to floor nine and back down it was now carrying a passenger. Unks stepped into Club Orion a smile on his face. He scanned the room slightly he picked up Deity's ki signiture before he dropped it and left.

Unks stepped further into the main room of the club. He walked over to the bar and took a seat on the center stool and used his mind got himself a glass. He then opened the fridge with his mind and brought a two liter of coke to him and a bottle of Jack Daniels from behind the bar. He pours the coke into his glass and the tops it off with the Jack.

He sends the two bottles of liquid back to where they go and began to stir his drink with his mind to get the taste into the whole drink. He smiled as he brought the Jack&Coke to his lips and drank it. The burn slide down his throat but it was a good burn. He sighed loudly::

"Man is this place always empty?"

((Hi everyone!!!))
