Welcome to Gaia! ::

Greg didn't feel right about Itaku being in snowtown, and when he said he was looking for Nao and Yuki, a redflag shot up....is this the threat i'm feeling? No...it can't be. Why would he be a problem?.....He held up a hand and signaled Yuki to hide somewhere before taking a look at Itaku with his aura-detecting eye....his aura is not as it usually is. It looks like anger? No...something else....He rested his hand on his side, inches above his knife, which wouldn't be much help. He would have to summon his scythe if it came to battle. He took a small breath and stepped forward. "Itaku? Didn't you hear the orders?" he asked, "The army was commanded to return to base for recovery."

((Just an FYI Itaku, but Celeste's gonna be out of the picture for a bit. She's currently in a coma at the medical infirmary so...yeah...she's not gonna be able to see Itaku for a while...))

Yuki hung back in the kitchen, but didn't hide. She had faith in her fighting abilities, enough that she was fairly sure she would be of some use if it came to a battle. Her grip on the kitchen cleaver tightened, as she slipped up behind Greg and poked her head out of the kitchen to see for herself who had invaded her home. Almost instantly, Yuki recognized Itaku; she nearly called out to him, happy to see he was safe. However, something stopped her. She wasn't sure just what caused those chills to cascade down her spine; whether it was the tension in the air, or the strange out-of-place quality to Itaku's presence, or something else she wasn't sure. The one thing Yuki was sure of was that her instincts were telling her to stay away from that man and she'd be damned if she stopped listening to her instincts now.

Nao walked up behind Itaku quietly. She could sense the tension in the air. Nao instantly decided Greg was the good guy. She remembered Itaku, but something was off then, and it seemed like it had gotten worse. Nao raised a finger to her lips, signaling to Greg not to give away she was there. She slipped her knife out of it's sheath resting on her hip. Nao was contemplating weather or not she should trip him, then hold the knife to his throat or not, because after all, this man did possess magic abilities. She glanced up at Greg, hoping some quiet plan would form between them. Nao knew it was bad to trust him so soon, but it was necessarily now. Itaku was clearly the enemy.

Nao rolled her eyes and made a playful stabbing motion towards Itaku. She raised an eyebrow. Nao felt adrenaline rush through her veins...but it felt...weird. Her eyes flashed a bunch of different colors. Red, white black, purple...blue.

(( so what is Itaku's mission? Just curious))



Greg remained motionless. His body visibly eased, but he was ready to strike if needed. "Of course not Itaku, so long as no harm comes to any of the citizens...or soldier that come to help.." he added, still cautious of Itaku's actions. "Nao, please come over to Yuki and take care of the rest of the children. I'd like to....converse with my good friend here about rebuilding your town." he said with a small smile. Although, under the smile, he held a face of expressionless.....what is he up to? This isn't like him..something's off..... He removed his hands from his sides and held an arm into the direction of the door. "Shall we?" he asked

Kaida peeked around the corner of another room at Itaku. She decided she didnt like him.

((fail post, im sorry. nobody wants to be bothered by little children!))

(Color may not work. I'm on my phone haha. The phone call can go any matter of ways. All depends on how this guild developed haha smile leaving my character open to many paths.)

"It was obvious from the start you were undercover, I would never try and blow it. Your goals are noble just as mine, this town is going to become very important eventually. I'd like to say they can escape the war, however I know that it is very unlikely..." Itaku sighed lightly as a sharp pain drove itself into his brain like a dagger. Someone close to him was in great pain, but who...it couldn't be Nao or Yuki...it had to be Celeste the Red Coat soldier... Itaku shook the pain off and adjusted himself once more. His body was suddenly overcome with chills as he watched the small coffin pass, all of these sacrifices and for what...peace?

" Please don't be hard on yourself Greg, you did the best you could do. I wish we were close to each other when you created the shield, I would have assisted you to protect a greater area of the town." Itakus mind was distraught he couldn't remember a majority of the last battle. " I know I fought alongside Nao and Yuki to protect them and this town, but I can't remember the battles.....my apologizes but you can see my brain isn't as focused as it should be. Please forgive my abnormal disposition..." The lieutenant smiled lightly and pulled out a lighter from his pocket, flicking it back and forth he began to plan furthermore ahead.

" I really support your idea of building it by hand, you have my fullest support. I am as strong and fit as any kid my age should be. If you will allow me, I'd like to begin work right away. When the time comes to enforce it with magic, you can sign me up for that as well. I am not weak, nor do I remember a time I was ever weak....it would be an honor to assist you." Itaku smiled warmly, when the thought struck his mind. " Why are you so attached to this town Greg?" Itaku was generally intrigued.
