But I think you'd feel better if you talked to someone, Miyoko said, shrugging a shoulder. Grieving won't getcha anywhere. Wanna talk to someone else? Do you have a problem with talking to me personally? Tristian did make a choice, it was you... he might be experimenting with this girl, but he doesn't know what's going to happen with it...

"I DON'T WANT TO ******** TALK!"
He roared, turning on her and controlling himself, narrowly, from tking her by the throat. As it was, he was barely perceptible measures away from her, nose to nose, eyes blazing.
"He went behind my back, without so much as a word, while I was sleeping, for that matter, when I'm most ******** vulnerable. There is NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT."

Saber nodded to the guy then turned to leave and lead him upstairs. Tempest continued holding Taji's hand, lightly rubbing her cheek against her fingers. When her brother opened the door, she looked up at him hoping that he had found someone to help.

Taji went completely limp, her eyelids no longer moving, her body no longer twitching as her breathing slowed immensely.
Miyoko shook her head to Lucius. Don't say I didn't try... she said, shrugging a shoulder, mumbling something as she stood up and started for the exit, mentioning something about Tristian before she opened the door.

Bastian pushed in through the doorway behind Saber and froxze, eyes wide, at the sight before him. It had nothing to do with Taji that had stopped him; it was Ophelia.
"Whaaat the bloody ******** are you doing here?"
Ophlia's head snapped up at the fammilliar voice and her face went bone white,nearly as pale and faint-looking as the girl on the bed. Her eyes darted between Bastian and Saber, then to Taji, not a clue what to do.
"If you're going to say something to hurt me, and least say it so that I can hear you," he snapped sharply, putting his feet on the floor and scowling ater her, looking like a little boy who's favorite bear's been taken away. On the verge of tears but trying to look mean to cover it.

Saber looked between the guy and Ophelia, not liking his tone toward her nor the way Ophelia paled. "I brought you up here to help the girl laying down...not to yell at my girlfriend." Tempest didn't even bother with the new guy when she saw Taji become limp. She swallowed down her fear, her hand lightly squeezing Taji. Love...please...please wake up.

After grappling visibly with what to do, Bastian pushed forward and nudged Ophelia aside, none-too-gently, but not enough to be malicious either.
"Out of the way."
He reached out and tilted Tempest's chin up, meeting her eyes.
"This is important. You have to talk to her. Not out loud, straight to her. Reach in for her heart, talk to that. Close your eyes and concentrate very, very hard on reaching her. Just think of things, if it helps make it stronger. Places you two have gone together,and things she's made you feel, send them all to her, and let her know you're right here. Can you do that for me?"
Ophelia just stumbled out of the way, quickly, tucking her arms in and around her own waist, shifting from foot to foot and looking very, very nervous.

Saber's hands balled up into fists as she tried to keep himself from starting something. He didn't like this guy pushing his girlfriend nor touching his sister, no matter how innocently. But for Taji, he kept himself at bay, moving over to Ophelia to wrap his arm around her.
Tempest only looked at the guy, not sure if he could do as he said. She wasn't magical in any way so how would thinking hard help her reach Taji? Tears formed at the corners of her eyes but she nodded anyway, willing to do anything right now. Looking back to Taji, she began to try and reach her, talking to her and thinking about things they've done, said, and felt.

Taji's breathing practically ceased, her body limp as before, getting colder by the second. Once a short moment had passed, her eyes shot open, no longer the crystal blue they were before, but now a blood red. She looked around, staying silent for a minute.
Miyoko looked over her shoulder. I didn't say anything in attempt to hurt you, I was just thinking maybe my mama could help you, she said. She knows Tristian more than his own mother, more than you do, more than even he does...

Bastian sat straight up, eyes wide. this was not good, this was definitly not good.
"Who are you?"
Luc eyed the girl suspiciously, frowning,
"Who's 'Mama', exactly?"

Taji smirked, a wide grin. Who am I? I'm Taji, of course, she said, her voice a deep purr, not the same as before at all.
Mama? My mama is Ashili, Miyoko said, turning all the way to face Lucius again. Iffff... you want, I could take you to go see her? Though, I was going to check out an apartment... is there an age minimum here?

He frowned, deeply. Something was very wrong here. But it was none of his buissness. He glared at the girl on the bed, and shrugged, then turned to Ophelia, motioning her behind him.
"You. Follow me."
Ophelia blinked, chewing her lip and looking back and forth between Bastian and Saber, not sure what to do.
Lucius tilted his head, curiously and frowned, deeply, thinking.
"I don't think so, but you'd have to ask my brother. The landlord. Ashili is your mother?"

Taji sighed softly, pulling her legs up to her chest, wrapping her arms around her knees, keeping her eyes moving. She glanced over to Tempest, keeping her red eyes on her.
Okay, good to know, Miyoko said with a sweet smile. Yeah, Ashili's my mama, she continued. She's very smart and very good with things and she knows lots and lots and lots and might be able to help you.

Tempest stared at Taji for a moment, knowing that something wasn't right. This wasn't her Taji. She didn't know what to say, exactly. "Where's my Taji?," she asked softly. "You seem different from her..."
Saber, confused as his sister, looked between Taji and her but he didn't say anything. When the landlord spoke up, he set his jaw firm and kept his arm around Ophelia. "I think you're done here. No one's going to leave with you."

He smiled, in a weak, dilluted sort of way and nodded.
"I know, we've met before."
He looked up at her again, smile gone and face closed again,
"Fine. But only to let her know she won't have to worry about me hurting him anymore. She said she wasn't, but ..."
He shook his head, and raised his eyes to her again.
"And to get you off my back, Tinkerhell."
Bastian frowned heavily at Saber, and then looked at Ophelia, who stood stockstill between the two of them. He realized she must be his tenant's woman and shrugged, apathetically, muttering,
"You may come with her if you must, but we need to have a little chat. And I really don't think you want to leave ... your sister alone with that thing."
He was fumbling in the dark for their relation, but it came as obvious once he'd found it and stood firm, waiting.
