Welcome to Gaia! ::

...That little b*****d. Maji stared at the phone, which was now emitting a dial-tone. Setting it on the cradle, she began to wander back to her computer. Cerlyn-Ama has some new instructions...

Heiko grabbed Laial's sandels and moved into a corner, watching Peri clean up blood. After about a second, she was impatient. Flopping over to Peri, she nugded his leg. "Lahal." So the leviathan could speak after all.

Heiko's tail flopped at the petting. Her peace was very short-lived. What did he mean 'He"ll be okay'?! Was he hurt somehow?! Critical condition?! Whatwasit?!?! Whatwhatwhat?! She nudged him a bit harder. "Wha hapah?"

Lev had held back when the techs sedated Simon, that would have been the part where he rushed forward to help... But he had heldback, since simon seemed to have.. well.. lost it.

Now he was settled against the wall simply watching as Peri cleaned up the mess.

Meanwhile... In the time that had lapsed from the fight to now the surgery had been complited, and anestisia was starting to wear off the boys. Simon on the 9th floor, and Laial on the 10th... Laial had a tech beside him, waiting to bombard him with questions of his health.

And Bree had been left alone with Simon. Groggily, he cracked an eye open... Lights. Bright lights... what happend? Everything came rushing back as he suddenlly jerked up, immediatly falling back in a dizzy spell. His eyes shot around.. Laial... Where was Laial? He had been tryign to choke him to death last he remembered... And then... Simon relaxed as the rest of the memories came back... followed by a great weight of guilt. "What..." he looked around, eyes locking on Bree in a hazed fasion. "Is Laial allright?"

Bree raised a brow, expecting that as much as the news she'd received from Alan. Simon was actually showing some kind of concern for someone else? Must be the drugs... "Yea." she responded flatly, giving him the 'you're in a shitload of trouble' look.

"How are you feeling?" the tech started, "Any numbness or pain?" she was sitting in a chair beside his bed, clipboard in hand ready to write down anything he said... She had to make sure everything was working right. "What's your name? Do you know todays date? Do you know where you are?" Checking for brain damage... it was all standard.

The tech nodded "Close enough. You're still in D-corp... Do you remember what happend?" she continued, hoping he did... It woudn't have been easy to give him a 'hey you just lost some tentacles' talk. And what a strange talk that would be.

---

Bree continued before he could say much else. "Atleast as okay as someone can be when they got their limbs hacked off..."

Simon frowned, shifting away from her and onto his side, facing the much less angry wall. "He started it." he muttered childishly, tail flopping.

Bree frowned at that. "Well you obviously finished it.. Theres not a scratch on you and you beat the hell out of him! He could have DIED."

Simon curled, crossing his arms. All he could seem to think was how he didn't want to hear this... How he wanted her to shut up. And when she didn't, he just started to get irritated again. So he simply stayed quiet...

Bree tensed at the silence she was given "Well?"

"Not like you're perfect!" he snapped back.

"No, I'm not. But I don't fly off the handle and hurt people..." she glared at his back... More silence. "I don't know what to do with you Simon..." she ended, giving a light huff of defeat.

Simon shrunk in more... "Whatever." he covered, "I don't give a s**t..." he shifted suddenlly, slipping off of the bed and walking whichever way he could, wobbling some as the sedation medication hadn't quite worn all the way off.

Bree felt.. Sick to her stomach. Yea. Even so long ago with the bully he had cared, and for a second.. she thought he'd cared here too. But he'd just said he didn't. "How can you not care?! Don't you even feel the least bit of remorse? Arn't you SORRY? I don't care what happend in there, nothing is going to justify your actions!" her voice started to raise. She felt.. scared, out of control, all of the things she couldn't stand to feel. And all she knew was that she wanted to get control again, wanted to stop Simon from being so dangerous... What if he hurt her? Or if he hurt Kizu...
She stood, stepping after him "You're becoming a monster!"

Simon swallowed, ofcourse he felt sorry... Ofcourse he felt bad... But he didn't know what to do with it. He didn't want to feel it. He wanted to shove it away and forget about it. He hadn't been able to stop himself... And that was the worst feeling of all.
He froze, heart clenching, as the last word left her mouth... A monster? Did she really think that...? So he and Bree had never had the best relationship, but it had never been that serious. Somewhere, he'd always thought she loved him. Guess not.
Well, if he was a monster, why not act like one? He spun around, teeth clenched, ready to 'fly off hte handle' as she had so nicely put it. "Shut up!" his voice squeaked unexpectedly, causing him to cut short the whole paragraph he had planned to say. He whipped back around, pounding the button on the elevator, whose doors opened right up. "You don't know anything!" He finished, stepping in and pounding the next button... "I hate you!" were the last words before the elevator doors shut.

Bree stood frozen, not bothering to go after him. Was he... crying? Maybe she'd gone too far... No, she definatly had gone too far. Swallowing, she wrapped her arm's around herself... Hate?

Perilas quickly finished mopping the floor up and put the mop and bucket away. He looked over at Heiko at the door, then over at Lev. "Do you want to come too? We can look for Simon as well." He told the other leviathan. How was Lev handling this all? Peri wondered.

Laial blinked in surprise. "He what?!" No way...I mean....wouldn't Peri have stopped them before-

It was then that Laial's memory chose to return. All of it. His reaction, immedietly retreating into his shell, not only proved his memory was back, but that he also was able to slightly move the attached bits of tentacle. At least one good thing came out of it, right?

Heiko blinked at Simon. She stil lhadn't seen them fight, so she really just ignored him. Instead, she bumped into Peri's leg a little harder than before. "Go."

No sooner than those words left the teacher's mouth than Heiko began flopping as fast as she could down the hallways. Even so, Peri had still needed to hold the doors open for her about fifteen seconds before she managed to get into the elevater. After she settled down in it (first time riding an elavator), the pink leviathan curled up in a little corner.

No sooner had she begun to dose off than the door beeped and opened up. Sighing, she dragged herself over, following Peri. "Mrr."
