Gannon… 
If the Teru hadn't been completely awake before, he sure as hell was now. The virus must be spreading faster than I thought. We should have had more time... "No, no. It's fine. I think that would be the perfect thing to do. And since yer awake this time, we won't need a proxy dive." Gannon stood, this time without the aid of a crutch or cane. "I'm ready whenever you are."

Ishira
 Ishira hung around his room for a short time when Rhaplanca left. When boredom was too much to bear he went into the bathroom and grabbed a towel for training and picked up his satchel and headed out of the inn. Finding a nice field behind the inn with an opportunistic metal frame to help in his training, he set down his satchel and tossed his towel on top of it. He took his new naginata and brandished it and did a few drills until he worked up a sweat. Setting aside the naginata, he pulled off his bandanna and tossed it aside, to cool his head from the workout and made his way over to a metal frame that seemed to be part of a building at one part in time and did chin ups effortlessly. When he felt it was sufficient he released from the frame and took off his vest and shirt, feeling the sweat now. He pulled himself up once more and then situated his legs over the frame to do sit ups before hopping back down to practice his hand-to-hand combat by stringing his satchel over the frame to use as a punching bag.
Fearing that too much time had passed he let down his satchel and drapped his bandanna, shirts and naginata over his shoulder before headed back tot he inn. The coolness of the the indoors felt good on his bare skin and horns. For a moment he forgot he was in the lower world until the inn maids stared at his horns in amazement. A frown tugged at his mouth, but he refused to cover his horns until he was completely cooled down. As he was walking down the hall he spotted Rhaplanca and Hikari entering Gannon's room. He met up with Rhaplanca at the door, she seemed to be hanging back, "Hey, I didn't I take too long did I?" he laughed nervously with his hand behind his head, "We still on for the dive?" he asked glancing sideways with a slight blush.

  Rhaplanca  Rhaplanca jumped slightly at Ishira's voice to her back, "Oh!-" she spun around, "-no no, you're just in time..." her eyes fell on Ishira's bare chest and abs awkwardly for a moment before she realized it.
 Her eyes darted to the side and a deep blush covered her face, "Um, actually, Hikari needs to dive as well..." she trailed off.
 "She's not feeling too well," Rhaplanca sympathized as she remembered her own blunt headache. Rhaplanca couldn't shake a sinking feeling for Ishira diving blindly. What if something happened. Rhaplanca let out a deep sigh, "Ishira?" she began, still not making eye contact, "There is something I would like to discuss with you before you dive," she looked down to the floor and fiddled with her sleeve.
Ishira expressed his concern for Hikari with a frown, "Is she okay? before he could peer around the corner to check on Hikari and Gannon's conditions Rhaplanca called back his attention, although he was at a loss as to why she was blushing until he remembered his lack of shirt, "Oh uh, sure," he said as he awaited her news. "Well," Rhaplanca continued to look at the floor, "It's kinda private," she whispered, "can we talk about it in our room," she said sneaking a glance in at Hikari and Gannon to see if they were looking. Ishira tilted his head in confusion. What could it possibly be? Thoughts of possibilities made him blush, "Of course," he blurted back before his imagination got out of hand, "Excuse us for a moment," he said to Hikari and Gannon as he lead Rhaplanca back to their room as he opened to the door for her and let her in first before following her inside and closing the door behind him.

Mana~
"Aw for the love of..." Mana groaned, stepping over so she was behind Nereus. "Sorry, Ner, yer not gunna like me after this one." She grabbed him and swung him around so he was right behind her and pushed him up against the wall in a body slam, concentrating the force on his abdomen. She repeated it twice more despite her sister's protests and quit once the lodged food came flying out. Afterwards she patted him on the back in concern. "Works everytime. But it's painful as hell. You okay, Ner?"

Nereus  As he was choking to death, he saw Mana go behind him, and grabbing him behind. In his thoughts he wondered on what she meant when she said those words, and why she was grabbing him. He sooner found out both of this reasons as she was swinging him around wildly, and body slamming him into the wall. The worst part was that she did this more than once. He could hear Miko’s plea to stop, but it still continued. After what seem to be forever for him the pain finally stopped. Gasping for air he didn’t realize that he could breathe again. He then twitched for a bit when she patted him. He managed through the pain to confirm that he was okay.

Miko~
"M-Mana!? You couldn't have gone a little easier on him?" Miko chided once she managed to find her voice. "You almost killed him rather than helping!" She added angrily. The younger sibling closed her eyes and cast one of her spells to relieve any pain that was left over from the assault. "I should have expected this, I suppose," she muttered. "You were always reckless. I shouldn't expect you to suddenly change and become responsible."

Mana~
"Aw, come off it, Miko," Mana shot back. "He woulda died if I'd been any nicer about it! You know next to nothing about the stuff I've seen over the years so lay off!" She snapped. "Nice? Ya wanna see nice, ya say!? Well, it sure as hell isn't down here! Lemme letcha in on a little secret as someone who's travelled the world, Sis. For people like us, there is no nice!" She turned to Nereus, still looking a little irritated. "You'll live, which is better than some," she muttered to him.

Rhaplanca Once they were alone behind the privacy of a door Rhaplanca's heart was racing with hesitation to tell Ishira about the virus, "Before you dive again there is something you must know," Rhaplanca was still staring at the floor in fear of Ishira's coming reaction. No, I am going to look him in the face. She summoned the courage to look Ishira dead in the eye and come clean.
"About the proxy dive," she kept her voice barely above a whisper to prevent eavesdropping from next door, "Something did go wrong. I have been hesitant in telling you because I don't want Hikari to take the blame when it was my own careless fault," she fought back the sudden sensation of tears, "I have in fact been infected by the virus, but on a much lesser level than an F.P.D.," she finally admitted with shame. Ishira
Ishira was fearing that Rhaplanca's demeanor meant she no longer wished for him to dive into her, but after her confession he wished that were the case, "There's no way.. why didn't you tell me?" his eyes widened in disbelief, she was a ß-type after all... he shook his head to try to deny the truth, "If that is true then we need to dive immediately to purge it," he whispered back with force. "I didn't want anyone to worry about me," she whimpered defeated with a torn expression that was about to break into tears, "There are two reasons why I am confessing this to you now. One, because I am worried about your well being in my cosmosphere and you have the right to know if you life is in danger. Two, because out of everyone here I can trust that you can keep it between us," she explained further, "If you don't wish to risk your life I understand completely, and I humbly apologize for lying to you," she added with a sniffle. Ishira's heart was torn by Rhaplanca's emotions. He quickly swept her into an embrace, nuzzling his face into her hair, "Risking my life is what I'm SUPPOSED to do for you. What kind of vanguard would I be if I didn't?" he sighed heavily and held her tighter, "Have you been feeling ill as well? Does this mean you are an F.P.D.?" "It is impossible for me to be an F.P.D. I have learned quite a lot about F.P.D.s and their separate server from the proxy dive and I can say without a doubt that I cannot be. A ß-type cannot be separated from the server," she said as she found her self embracing him back in a reassuring way, "Therefore I truly doubt I am capable of 'outbreaks'," thankfully their embrace had eased some of Rhaplanca's tensions, "I have only experienced headaches, but they are very painful. But I believe once the virus in my cosmosphere is destroyed I can be cured," she silently wished that were the case for Hikari as well, but Rhaplanca's case couldn't be considered a true infection.

Gannon…
Gannon waited until the others had left the room before responding. "Hikari... Look. I've already been in your Cosmosphere once. I can handle it again. And this is the only thing what will help. We'd better get started." The Teru moved to the door, only waiting for the Reyvateil.

 I am the Light of this World
The Beacon of Hope for Everyone~ Hikari ~   "B-but... I'm not sure..." Hikari mumbled, following after him hesitantly. "Isn't it supposed to get worse further in?" She asked Gannon. "I feel like I've always felt, anyway." She sighed. "Okay... But please, just leave if it gets to difficult. There's no sense in you risking your life."
 I have to do this. Maybe I'll feel better. And if he dives, I can craft new Songs to help. From here on out I'll have to be on the lookout. If there's any trouble in my Cosmosphere, then I'll just have to shut it down myself to protect him. She nodded, feeling a bit better now that she had a plan to deal with this. "All right. Even if it doesn't help me feel better, the more Songs we craft the better, right?" Hikari managed to muster a smile, despite the headache and whispers. She caught up to the Teru and paused at the door. "Gannon? Thank you," she whispered shyly before running on ahead, completely embarrassed at having said that. She stopped, waiting for Gannon, Rhaplanca and Ishira.
 Just then, she thought she'd heard some arguing coming from the kitchen area, and it was confirmed when Mana came storming her way. "Mana? What's the matter?" She asked, concerned for her friend.My Song is a Shining Light

Mana~
"Oh, hey, Hikari..." Mana replied, a bit thrown off by running into the Reyvateil. "Oh, don't worry about it. Sibling spat is all." Her expression showed concern when she noticed the color of Hikari's cheeks. "Still sick, Hikari?" The half-Teru asked, putting a hand to her forehead. "Hmmm... a little warm but not too much. Maybe you should get some more rest, eh?" She noticed Gannon behind the Reyvateil and nodded slightly at him in greeting.

Nereus He got over the pain quickly due to Miko's magic. As she was doing this, he he heard say stuff about being rough, and that she is not nice. He was about to say something, but Mana snapped at her younger sister. He just stayed quite the whole time. After Mana left he put a hand on Mko's shoulder and said. "This is all my fault. If I didn't swallowed the food quickly, then this dispute would of never happen. So for that I am sorry." He then let go of her and sat down, not wanting the fudge for what happened.

The Beacon of Hope for Everyone~ Hikari ~ "It'll be okay," Hikari murmured. "I'm just a little tired." She smiled wanly. "Where are you going?" She asked the half-Teru girl. "We're just going to be in town awhile." She turned back to Gannon.
 I'm not sure if I really want Gannon to dive into me... Hikari found herself thinking.My Song is a Shining Light

Mana~
"Well, maybe I'll see ya guys then. I wanted to check out the tavern here. See if there's any new info I can drag up," Mana answered. Translation: I wanna spend a few hours getting drunk. She shrugged. "Well, Gannon, can I trust ya to stick with her for a couple hours?"

"M-maybe that's not such a good idea!" She stammered. "I-I don't know what my Cosmosphere is like! What if something bad happens there? What if you hate me?" At this, the Reyvateil nervously started nibbling on her nails.
