Alka Yuriev "He.... he abused her in front of you?" Gaignun says, shocked but being quiet about it. It's called a poker face, and Gaignun's good about it. "What would... possess him to abuse his own sibling? Yes he attacked you, but he wanted you to fight back... was he doing the same with Alka?" Gaignun asks, gently rubbing his temple. "No. It was almost the same as watching him hurt MOMO... like he knew she couldn't fight back. Except this time... there was a look of emptiness in her eyes. Like she was used to that sort of treatment."

Gaignun takes a deep breath. He was rather angry now, and only his self-control was keeping him from hitting something. "From him... or from Father?" Gaignun asks quietly. He didn't know how much Jr. knew of Yuriev's treatment of his daughter, but Gaignun had a sinking feeling he knew the most about the matter. And as far as he knew himself, she had been a lot more than anyone should ever go through.

"Dad did the majority of it." Jr. said remembering back to the days when Yuriev started the dive experiments, "That b*****d's going to pay for putting her through that someday! I'll make sure he does!"

"Father's dead, Jr. He has been for a while." Gaignun said carefully. As he said it, a nagging doubt plucked at his mind. He brushed it away. He was sure the b*****d was dead; he had put a bullet in the old man's head. Still, the doubt bothered him. "There's nothing we can do besides try and help Alka. How bad is she off Jr.? How is she... mentally?"

((When is this taking place again? I'm so used to him being alive that I forgot he's thought to be dead at this point.)) "Oops. I suddenly forgot that he died." Jr. said embarresed. "She's pretty shaken up and has become really timid. I hate to say it, but she might never completely recover from the trama of everything that she's endured. It might be best to take her back to the Durandel for now to recover as much as she can."

"...She never was the same after she lost her voice. I don't know how, or why... but she just kind of died inside after that. I remember seeing her right before we left for Miltia... She looked like a zombie almost." Gaignun took another breath, rather upset but hiding it well. "And then Albedo had to hurt her too... It's amazing she trusts anyone, given what's she's been through. Is she around? I want to talk to her."

"She's here with me, but she's sleeping. I'm sure you two will have time to talk when we meet up with you." Jr. called Matthews with both screens still on and said "Captain. We're heading back to the Durandel." He looked over at Gaignun. "Is that all for now?"

"I think that's it. I'll talk to you when you get back. Take care." Gaignun said, shutting down his window. Matthews nods. "Gotcha Little Master. We'll be at the Durandel in about 3 hours." He closes out. Behind him on the bed, Alka mumbles in her sleep. If Jr. turns around, her face is wet with tears she shed when she knew he wasn't looking.

Jr. turned around and was surprised to see the tears sliding down her cheeks. He held out his hand and wiped the tears off her face as gently as possible so that he wouldn't wake her. He sat down next to her in a chair and looked off into the distance. He told her that he wouldn't leave her, so he stayed in the room and waited for the three hours to pass.

chaos quietly knocks on the door and enters. "Jr., we've arrived at the Durandel. Is Alka still slieeping?" His voice is soft, and has the same calming effect that Gaignun can create if he tries.
Alka stirs slightly in her sleep, her hand curling into a defensive fist.
(How a fist can be defensive I have no clue.))

((Maybe it's blocking her face or her heart or something?)) "Yes she is." Jr. whispered, "We shouldn't move her or we might wake her. I'll stay here and watch over her."

chaos nods, looking at the sleeping girl with a small smile on his face. "Alright. I'll tell Gaignun." The boy leaves, as silent as he came in.
Alka lets out a small sound in her sleep.She turns a bit, her brow furrowed. She seems scared, most likely having a nightmare. Her mouth opens slightly, but closes again.

Jr. sits and lets Alka sleep. He decided to communicate with Gaignun. Hey Gaignun. We've arrived with Alka.

A chuckle of amusement echoes over the link. I noticed. How is she holding up? Concern and anxiety trickle through the mental connection. I'm on my way over there. There is a strange feeling over the connection. It was faint and hard to even notice, but it was a sense of.... wrongness. An anomaly.
Alka stirs again, slowly opening her eyes. She panics a bit, disorientated.

"Oh you're awake." Jr. said, "We're docked at the Durandel. Nigredo and I head the organization that owns it, so we'll be safe here." He smiled, but that slight distrurbance in the connection bothered him. He wanted to tell Alka about it, but if it was nothing he would be worrying her for no good reason. She had already been through enough worrying. "I talked with Gaignun- I mean Nigredo just now. He's on his way here."
