*Micha takes one step to his left, and lets his now free hand simply drop. He finally starts to pull on the ring, with only one hand, but being slightly off to the side gave him a slight edge. There would be less resistance from the door, given how Micha had gone around to pulling the door. Slowly but surely a drawn out looming creak is heard as the door Micha has hold of, finally opens*
Micha: . . .
*Trilla continues to plod along beside Zenogais, questioning things from time to time in her head, and out loud. If "Zeph" was made for fighting, then what was Trilla "made for"? That would be an interesting question to pass by Nana or Mastema later*
Trilla: >.> Made for fighting?

Fenton: ^^ mew! *Fenton squeaks happily while watching*
Zeph: Yeah. I wasn't born... like you were. I didn't have any parents; no mother and no father. I was kinda like a well made machine I guess. I wasn't considered a person either....not a normal one. My body was build so I would be able to fight well.

*Once the door was open wide enough, then Micha stopped pulling on the ring. Straitening up after he was finished, Micha lets his hand rest at his side, like the other. After that, he and Fenton disappear into the library. Who knows what Micha was planning to do there, perhaps he planned to teach himself. If that was the case, he would be the most proactive of the children, taking his own education into his own hands. However, it wasn't certain why he was there, at least yet*
Micha: . . .
*Trilla wasn't all that up to speed on "being born", she'd had yet to ask the question "where do babies come from?" and Zenogais had just started to send her in that direction. But no parents? Thanatos had said a friend was like a brother or sister, only with different parents, so could "Zeph" really be her friend if he never had parents? Trilla herself, probably didn't remember much from when she was younger even though it hadn't really been all that long since she was. The very concept of the word "born" was something foreign to her. It was something not asked before and so not explained, it didn't make Trilla stupid just uninformed. Actually "parents" were a foreign idea too. All Trilla knew about her "parents" was that they had been there for as long as she could remember, and that they took care of her. Was that all a parent was, or was there more too it? Trilla would have to ask later, and she had many questions to ask*
Trilla: >.> Born?
*Eecheb was still asleep, after his run in with the slab of building and all the alcohol. Something needed to be done while the boy was still at rest. At least one of the lumps on his head had gone down a little, but the others still seemed inflamed. Nana checks his forhead with her hand, he didn't seem too warm, Eecheb just needed to sleep this off, and so he would. Nana looks up to the other empty beds, hoping that Trilla and Micha were alright; Nana's eyes close for a moment*
--_--
.....Zio?

*Fenton would merely be a small squeaking companion to Micha as he spent time at the library*
Zeno: Heh. I'm getting ahead of myself. Yeah..... you and your brothers were born. Basically it means that your parents brought you into the world. It's like the word created or made. Born is just another word for those two that's used when you talk about a person being "made." I guess it can be kinda confusing. Let's put it this way kid...... when a person is made they're "born"..... when something else is made they're "created." A person can do what they want. You're a person.... I'm not. You were born and I was created..... *He was trying to sound neutral.... but really he felt he were lowering himself*
Zio: *The red screen appeared* Good day, Lady Nana. How may I assist you?

*Micha would wander the library, perhaps pull out a book or two every now and again, perhaps he liked looking at the pictures*
Micha: . . .
*Trilla thought about what "Zeph" had said, for at least a couple of minutes while still walking close behind him. Things seemed much simpler from a child's perspective. "Made", "born", so what? The explination did seem somewhat sad, that a "person" could do what ever they pleased but something "made" could not. Trilla tried to think of something that perhaps might make "Zeph" feel better. Only one thing came to mind, something Thanatos had taught her, tough this might not be the best time to say it, she couldn't yet guage when a better time might be in a conversation*
Trilla: >.> .......Sorry.
*Nana sighed lightly, and looks to the screen*
Zio... could you please remove all alcoholic beverages from the cafeteria, or at least have them in a tall cupbaord where the children can not get to them?

~As usual, it had become easier for Truinthil to penetrate the barrier around the Citadel. Of course it was only easier in that he didnt have to work as hard. He still ended up using a large amount of energy.
Truinthil appeared in the air above the Citadel and looked down upon it. It was the same as he had last seen it, of course. He wondered though who would come and greet him this time. Proto? Zeno? Mastema? Or maybe all three, or someone he hasnt seen yet. It didnt matter to him really. With a shrug, Truinthil began to descend towards the ground at the base of the tower.~

Zeph: *Zeno blinked once, then looked over his shoulder at the girl* Hmm? What're you sorry for? You're just asking a question and I'm answering it..... not your fault that I'm not a person..... I don't hold it against you either. *He took a "breath" and looked back to where he was walking*
Zio: Affirmative. One moment. *A few awkward moments of silence past* Complete. I have transported and stored all alcoholic beverages else where the central tower.....

Hmm Hmm... now what do we have here. Are you the one I made or the original? I know at least one of you is at the temple..... *The message would come quite clearly to Truinthil*

*Trilla's attempt to make Zeph feel better seemed to have failed. The girl tried to think of something, that made her feel better when she was a bit down. Something does come to mind. Spotting a slanted piece of rubble not to far ahead along the duo's walking path, Trilla makes a quick trot up the rubble which collapses right after and latches to Zeph's back. Trilla's arms struggle a little to keep herself up, otherwise she was attached to Zenogais now, in a difficultly manuvered hug, which was quickly turning into a swan dive to the ground*
Trilla: >_o; Nn.

~Truinthil laughed mentaly while he hugged himself after hearing Mastema's question.~
I have little to no control over my clone. He has no reason to come and visit you really. It's a marvel I have him working with me for once. He is the one at the temple, observing. Acting as an...insider...if you will. To gather information and other such things. Heh. The joys of having the capability of being in two places at once. It truly is a wonderful thing to have.

Zeno: oof... *Zeno blinked and looked over his shoulder* What the hell? My waist wasn't enough? *He stopped a moment then laughed* You're a funny kid. *One of Zeno's arms went to his back, went parallel to his spine, and acted as a platform for Trilla to stand on. He leaned forward just slightly so she would have less chance of falling off*
I see...... intending to spy on Gabriel without putting yourself in danger? I suppose I can relate to that. Either way..... your visits are no longer a cause for alarm here anymore. How do you intend to proceed from here?

*Nana nods lightly, now that any alcohol in the citadel was not put out of reach from smaller hands. Eecheb would have to resort to drinking non-alcoholic beverages now. He'd tried water once, but it was a little to blah for him, or so it seemed*
--__--
Ah, thank you Zio.
*Trilla was much taller than she used to be, if she were to try standing on Zenogais' arm, she'd tower at least two feet over him. No, Trilla would have to resort to a "piggy back" method, if she wanted to stay where she was, and so she did. Trilla's tiny face appears over one of Zenogais' shoulders, as she finally manages to get ahold of him thanks to his part. Now Trilla was up higher than she'd ever been before, and she could see a whole lot more. It was almost like an adult's perspective on things. Everything below seemed so much smaller when ones head was above it all. Wouldn't she be surprised how even smaller things could appear, after learning to fly*
Trilla: 4laugh Thank you Zeph~!

How do I intendto proceed? I don know. Wander around a bit, poke at the shiny buildings. You know. The usual. If you mean my plan though...Oh I don know. I'll spy on the temple for a while, find out any of Gabriel's plans if I can. Then eventually act on them. Whether I let you in on what I find out or not, I havent decided yet. We'll just have to wait and see wont we?
~Truinthil grinned and stopped hugging himself, but then disappeared suddenly. He hadnt left the barrier, but he had disappeared from most any scanner.~

*Mastema just shook his head* head strong fool.... I suppose that is why I allied with him....
Zio: You are welcome. Will that be all for now?
Zeno: *He chuckled a little* No prob. *He didn't seem too uncomfortable with the girls face being so close to his* Enjoying the view?

*Nana nods solemly to herself and to Zio*
Yes, that will be all for now. Thank you Zio.
*Trilla nods as well as she could, given how she was situated*
Trilla: o__o Trilla's never been so high!
*That wasn't including being in the tower, but from an "on the ground" prospective. Actually Trilla seemed to be much calmer than her normal energy buzzed self, probably because she felt safe. That is to say safer, as she felt rather comfortable with "Zeph", and she'd used up a lot of energy running around the east tower, and drawing around it too. Zenogais was sure to spot the endless loop of rings around the tower upon his next visit. Trilla also hadn't eaten in days so she had nothing new in her system to keep her energy at a constant high like normal. It would seem rather... nice, having the kid mellowed out for once*
