Welcome to Gaia! ::

Luciano sat on the couch, in the living room area. He had no idea the group was back yet, and he wasn't sure how he was going to get them in line like Johnny asked. Luciano hasn't had to put his foot down and establish command of his unit in years. This group has never had any issues with falling out of line. Luciano noticed that things always seem to fall apart when Skotti is gone. This made Luciano feel terrible, and he wished that he were a better CO (( Commanding Officer, for those of you who aren't familiar with Military terms )) like he used to be. And he traced it all back to when his unit was ambushed at The Gates of Barton all those years ago during that race war; Humans, Vampires, Grombies, and Elves all fighting each other. Luciano didn't know there was an ambush waiting for them. Even so, he couldn't help but feel responsible for all of those people dying. What he felt the most terrible about was how he couldn't take his own life when they captured him; "Remember Men! Don't let them take you alive!! They can't find out our secrets if you're dead!!" Luciano remembered the "Suicide Serum" that the Scientists gave the soldiers. It was a small vial with this strange pink coloured liquid inside of it; If you drank the whole thing, you died in seconds. Well, Luciano couldn't do that to himself. . He couldn't take his own life.
"More people wouldn't have had to die if I had just followed orders. ."
Luciano's motto always was: Never give in. Never surrender. To this day he only follows the Never surrender bit, because gives in way too much. Especially now that Michelle is gone. . "How am I supposed to do this without a rock?" He thought to himself. Luciano's flaws were now appearing to even himself; He always had to be told what to do. He couldn't function without someone giving him orders, or suggestions, and now that The Kuros- His superiors- had been silent for so long, and with Skotti gone as well, Luciano didn't know what to do anymore. . He didn't know how he alone could find the confidence in himself to do what needed to be done.
And now his insecurities were surfacing, and he was being forced to face them. Luciano ran his hands into his hair out of frustration and exhaled, "You need to ******** pull yourself together," He said to himself, "You have to. You don't have a choice at this point."
Choices. Something Luciano hated. He hated making choices, as he was never good at making them. Especially the hard ones. . .
Luciano's moment was suddenly interrupted by the sound of footsteps, but he didn't look up to see who it was. He was focusing on breathing.

Luciano finally pulled himself together, and went to see who it was that came in. Once he saw it was Sabe, he said "Where's everyone else?" Luciano then paused when he saw the bruise on his face, and then he said, "What happened to your face, Sabe?" As he pointed to the bruise on his face.

Luciano raised his eyebrow. He wondered why Nariana had to explain everything, "Why won't he tell me?" Sort of shrugging that off now, and moving on to the more important thing. Luciano sighed and then he said, "At this point, I'm willing to lock her up downstairs if she doesn't stop. ."
pushing his glasses up and then folding his arms, he then asked "Are you alright?"

"Shut up, Sabe." Luciano said in almost a growl. He was just as responsible as Nari was at this point. They all were. And this was Luciano's fault. For not having a firm hand, and having better control of his unit.
"Both of you. No more talking. You're going to help me clean this mess up."
