"No, I can't blame you for questioning my intentions. I would do the same." Xol came to stop, pivoting his body to Phia's front. He looked into her eyes, searching the vast expanse of violet with his own piercingly silver eyes. This was the one. She was the one he wanted to spend forever and a day with. To wake up with every day and snuggle with every night... and to protect from anything bad ever happening to her.
"Let's get you out of that dress... and into something, more... comfortable."
With an explosion of black mist, they were gone.

Trying to hold her head up, she glanced at her empty bottle and tossed it over her shoulder. The world seemed to be spinning and she was caught in the middle. The happy moment of the liquor talking, has reached the downer, as She thought off her life and what she has done. People she has betrayed and who thinks of her as a partner. She was no one, just a mere distraction. All of her efforts to help people she cared for, wer ein vain. trying to save Phia and D, resulted in phia running away with the man who Focht has a war going on with, and yet partners with the man she and Xol wants Dead, but T held her safe and gave her a home when she had none.
Ugh this place is full of hypocrites......and Lies! She said bluntly and loud. She Pulled herself Up, and glanced around for her shoes. upon finding them She stumbled in grabbing them. The one thing that was true in her eyes was the bond she had with T well the clone, as the Emo b*****d went soft and converted himself to a pansey lap dog to the woman of Phia's past. In anger without notice her gunalet materialized and hummed as the energy within wanted to explode. She slowly made her way into the Forest, and towards T's fortress. Something had to be done to clear this place of Lies.

Well it looked as if the trouble making had passed. Both Sairys and Xol were gone, neither causing any more problems. It was a blessing; perhaps the rest of the party could go off now without a hitch. If anything the rest of the guests could calm down again, that is assuming many of them felt on edge after the clash of weapons that were not supposed to be there.

*Nana would take a deep breath, she still appeared to be nervous and for good reason. It was all out of her hands unfortunately so there was nothing she could do about it. Thanatos and Mastema appeared to be much better with dealing with people at the party, each having their own way of coping and interacting. Nana still wasn't too well off with socializing, especially with strangers. At least in the Citadel she'd mostly speak to family of close family friends, not so much the others like Tyrsias and his fledge, or Mugiri and Orias. This was a good chance to get out of her normal social circle but it wasn't easy*

Kaiori had long finished her drink and her dress wasn’t getting more comfortable. Sighing she decides to make a subtle exit with a slight wave to her children. She wouldn’t want to bother the host with a good bye so she just slipped out the door.

G a n k u t s u o u Well, that was a strange conversation to say the least. What was civil had turned into what appeared to be a threat, but for what reason? The Count had not done anything to offend anyone, nor make himself an enemy nor target. So why did the young Thanatos seem so stand-off-ish? Perhaps it was just a phase of adolescence? In anycase it hardly seemed warented, nor justified. Since parting with the boy The Count had met back up with Haydée, who was back at his side. About that time Twilight slid into view, after his own introduction The Count would follow up with a greeting of his own. " Salutations Monsieur Twilight. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance." At that time The Count would also extend his hand to shake Twilight's. " So, tell me more of this 'Black Company'. It seems as though many claim to be its leading force tonight." The many, really being KB only, upon entrance and Twilight's disputing of that fact upon his own entrance to the party. At least the current conversation seemed more pleasant thus far. "Ah, I'm guessing you're talking about the unfortunate drunk guy there." Twi jerked a thumb over his shoulder toward the unconscious KB. "I think I'll let the drinking speak for his delirium. As for the Black Company, he was there before I was, but he wasn't exactly suited to be made leader. Before the last leader departed, she left the guild leadership to me, and it has since been passed to someone else whom I haven't seen in quite some time. As for what it was, it was called a mercenary group, but it was better as a hangout..... and maybe a dating service. However, those days are behind me. You've met most of the people who were part of it anyway. Although, I was hoping to talk to you about something more related to my current occupation." Twi looked over his shoulder, seeing Kaiori leave without much flare. Perfect was all he could think to himself at the timing, before turning back to the Count. "You see, my current 'employer' had strong connections with the former owner of this establishment. There are quite a few important documents which were left in the late owner's possession. Now, we were hoping it would be suitable that you would either turn all of those over to me, or at least have them destroyed." Twi didn't really care much about the documents himself, but his orders were to ensure the document's retrieval or destruction. Mastema kept his arm around Nana, and briefly turned face to face with her before kissing her on the forehead and lightly brushing her hair. Hopefully now that most of the unpleasant guests were gone or incapacitated, she would calm down. About the only ones left were his party, Griffin's, and a few other guests. Maybe Nana would have better luck talking to them.

*It looked like Mastema had no problems showing outwards affection towards Nana, in the social setting. That in itself was pleasant and definitly won him points. All the same, somewhere in Nana's mind she wondered what the children were doing right now, it had to be a mother thing, they always worried about their children; thankfully they were safe. Phia had shown up for a short while aswell, though now she had slipped away as well. She was married to that nice 'D' fellow, perhaps they would see eachother again soon. Xol had also left, KB appeared to be passed out and no trouble. Another lady, Sairys had also left, he 'son' too. Kaiori had finally slipped out, leaving her children aswell. Griffin may reccognize Nana from Kai's memories in the Citadel, but she didn't really know Kaiori's children at all. Given the woman's greeting earlier however, the youths were important to her. Taking a quick glance around, Nana would look for Thanatos, what was he doing now?*

As Kaiori slipped out she would pass the doormen, Baptistain and Bertuccio, who would blow to the woman slightly as she departed. "Have a pleasant evening ma'am." The same kind of message would have been extended to all those who had left already as well.
Inside the temple, The Count would listen to Twilight's plee, all the while a smile upon his face. Hearing Twilight out, The Count would finally lean back a little before delivering news to the man's ears he would be delighted to hear. "Why most certainly. I would be most pleased to return them to your 'employer', as I have no use of them. I will have them gathered up, and prepared for you upon your departure this evening." It seemed as simple as that, Twilight would get the documents that his employer wished and his mission would be at an end. That left Twilight with ample time to enjoy himself while the information was made up into bundles and placed in boxes, should they be many in number. Then when he left the temple, he and those he currently called comrades could take the information and go.

Odds were that Galette had quite a few documents indeed, seeing how many 'students' he'd had before his unexpected second demise. Naturally, Twi didn't believe Gabriel really had much interest in most of the documents. The man was probably interested in anything that tied him to Galette. Twi nodded, smiling right back at the Count. "Excellent. I'm in your debt. I'll be sure to have my people on standby to come when I'm ready to leave. I think I have the perfect candidate in mind too." At least his primary objective in being here was now accomplished. Of course, maybe he'd still have a chance at his secondary one, but it wasn't as important.
Nana wouldn't find much interesting with Thanatos's situation. He was where he'd been before, not really doing much of anything except perhaps listening in on what was happening around him.

It was astoundingly evident that the fleshy one was inebriated, certainly so much that the completion of fate's chosen event could not be assured. It was because of this fact that the lingering aspect of KB in the shadows saw fit to interact, if only for that brief climax. It would seem that the meatbag would carry all the wonderful pleasantries of the evening, leaving the dull, metallic husk with only the calculated data. Data that would consist only of a young man KB knew all too well.
Enter deus ex machina, an apparent clone of KB striding towards the entrance. A similar outfit, hastily drawn over the form of what might be called an android. Weapons were already locking themselves down, though, adhering to that rule seemed to evade some of the other guests. Unlike some of them however, and quite ironically, KB liked to consider himself civilized. He allowed himself the pleasure of seeing things in a variety of lights, forgoing the obvious perversion within his grasp. He'd always wondered what his probing gaze might find beneath the charming apparel, but alas, again manners manners.
So the more accurate interpretation of KB's vast and unending series of clones would brush unceremoniously past the doormen, not bothering to explain his second arrival. He did not bother to terminate the look-alike that rested soundly, instead giving the tool a passive glance. It had its uses, and it reminded him of an easier, happier life beyond his constant steam of thoughts. Cycle this, manage that, work work work.
So, Than would find a very fit, very alert, very unnatural KB facing him. Something in the cool smile seemed to taunt the boy, not that Than would be intimately aware of it. As long as Than didn't tear and twist apart KB's metallic insides, KB was more than willing to let his insides remain working comfortably, and not overloading in a fashion that would turn the Temple to slag. "Thanatos!" KB exclaimed with mock enthusiasm, as he gently bumped into the table. "Ah- Sorry."

Unfortunately, KB's own past handiwork would make all of his fitness and unnaturalness have null effect on Thanatos; he couldn't even see said unnaturality after all. Thus, having only one way to distinguish this KB from the other, Thanatos would greet him accordingly. "Welcome to the party, number two." The name was merely to distinguish him from his drunken companion. "Don't tell me you drank yourself to death and had to get another ride here." KB's double appearance hardly merited a raised eyebrow as far as Thanatos was concerned.

"Witty." He replied shortly, allowing himself a moment to look the young man over. He had done horrible things to the boy, but Than remained strong in spite of his injuries. He reminded KB of a man he'd known in his youth, a man who had been naturally blind. "You've been hard at work?" KB asked, tempted to reach out and squeeze at one of Than's muscles. Thinking it inappropriate, he settled for making a poke with his pointer-finger at Than's upper-arm.

"If I answered flat out no, one could only assume I was a horrible and derelict person, isn't that right?" He scoffed, not particularly bothered by KB's prodding, and his arms remained crossed; he knew when to be defensive and when to have a sense of humor, or so he hoped he had that knowledge. "It's only natural to think I'd be working in a way that I believed was the best good. Thus, assuming I am actually doing something to progress in that direction, I think it's fair in the common sense to say I'm working hard. I think it would be inhuman, or maybe that's inhumane, to answer no to that question at any point and not think it's out of place. Then again, I suppose there are too many individuals who would think nothing of it to suppose it is entirely against the will of the universe to answer 'no.' This is becoming a speech." Thanatos abruptly ended his rant and ingested the remaining contents of his glass.

KB merely chuckled light-heartedly. He knew the answer to his own question, a fact he revealed to Thanatos readily. "Of course you have been... Your home is fortified in a fashion much too imaginative to be the work of your father." KB returned, glancing over his shoulder. A look at Mastema and at TJ made KB shrug slightly, before adding "Both of them."
Of course, KB noted Nana. She was one of few women left attending the party, and her beauty was nothing short of Heavenly. Few could captivate as she, especially with the choice of dress. Among those few was Kai's daughter, though KB's affinity there came mostly from the comfort of familiarity. "Cute girl Than, a shame what you're missing." KB commented idly, not really meaning to take a jab at Than's sight. The regenerative tools at hand could have repaired the boy's vision again and again. Thanatos simply chose masochism for some reason.

Unlike his entrance, KB's 'both of them' comment did make Than raise his eyebrow. It took him a few seconds to infer what KB may have meant, and came up with the most direct way to repose it. "I don't believe the marriage between my birth mother and Twilight was ever manifested, although god knows they consummated it enough beforehand." There was a hint of spite in Than's voice, though it could have been at either Twilight or his long absent mother. "There's no need to think of him as my second father in any event. I'd sooner go to my relatives in the citadel; afterall, they've actually been around to help me when I asked for aid."
The second comment about a cute girl was another peculiar comment, though Than was already getting used to the random topic changes. It was KB's daredevil way of making conversation that really wasn't small talk, since it was at least relevant to something. "A cute girl you say? I wonder if it's the same girl I nearly bumped into earlier. I didn't get her name, though I understand she has deadly heels." He indeed could not see, but that didn't mean he wasn't aware of the presence of others. If anyone asked, Thanatos himself probably wouldn't be able to think of a completely sane reason why he remained blind when there were probably others with the resources willing to help him get it back. In fact, he hadn't entirely ruled out those options yet.
