Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I'm--"

"A brat." Mitsuyo cut in dryly, as she leaned back against the wall, smiling up at the youth, who flushed scarlet.

"--Tekaru." He finished evenly, as he coughed lightly to clear his throat. "Former Captain, so and so... yea, really just unemployed I guess, considering the mess at the stadium kinda...got us.. fired?" He said, as if he was still slightly confused at that point himself.

"It's standard procedure... we lost contact with our leader, as well as had our entire govermental board destroyed... and so all clan members go into inactivity until a proper authority can be reached. Mainly the delegation that resides in our main headquarters at Guldor." Mitsuyo said, her eyes staring at Sierra, almost with a hint of dissaproval.

"Because my brother wouldn't let me hear the end of it, if something happened to you." Mitsuyo said evenly, as she turned around, and pulled aside the curtains of the nearby window, letting in a stabbing beam of sunlight into the room.

Tekaru merely hopped from the ceiling, landing on the ground, and brushed himself off a bit. It was odd seeing Kyonuske members dressed in just ordinary everyday clothes... but one they were used to from time to time.

"Not this again... I'm sure Vahn's got fine choice in women." Tekaru said dissmisvely, belying a maturtiy that didn't match with his age.

"You haven't even hit puberty yet, what would you know?" Mitsuyo shot off hotly.

Silver wasn't surprized, although he was hit by all four punches. In fact, he would have been rather dissapointed if "the great Reiko" was hit by such a trivial spell. Stumbling backwards slightly, quickly composed himself.

And prepared for Reikos next oncomming attack.

As Tellus stood there watching the odd man and her father, a soft hand was placed on her shoulder, making the petite woman turn around defensively. Green eyes widened as the Leviathan woman stopped her blade mere inches from the other woman's side. Yet strangely enough, no one else in the area seemed to be disturbed.

"Having issues talking to him still..?"

A firm shake of the blue haired woman's head as she responded to the rehead before her. "No, he appears to be busy with someone..." thumbing her nose before motioning towards the two men now behind her. But instead of the firm nod she expected from the ever efficient Miss Browning, she saw widened green eyes that seemed frozen in shock. "Miss Browning, are you alright. You look like you've seen a ghost..."

"I think I have..." She continued staring at the two men, though not paying attention to her employers father but the man standing in front of him, wearing the oddest assortment of clothing. Tellus turned around and looked again at the man, still curious as to where she had seen his photo before. It took a moment before it clicked.

"I thought you said he was dead..."

"I thought he was..."

"Oh...." Tellus' hand reached up to touch the collar at her neck and she began fidgetting with it. "What do you know about him?" Wanting to make sure that he wasn't out to harm her father in any manner.

"Not much. I was rather surprised that Gambino hired him with as little as the research team was able to dig up on him. He is most...perplexing." She mumbled all of this as she continued staring at the man, grateful that he was talking to Enki and not looking around. She was as prim as ever, her wild red hair tightly bound into a disturbingly tight knot on her head, the coke bottle glasses hiding her lumiscent green eyes and the polyster suit hding any semblance of a figure. "I doubt he would even remember me anyways."

A soft flush of her pale face as the silvered eyes came back to reality and she looked over at Alex. "I...uh...left." Her lips forming the words slowly to make sure she had them correct. There was also a puzzled look on her face but she remained focused. And again, the look at the raven cautiously. She didn't however seem interested in knowing Alex's name. Perhaps in her way, it was rude to ask one's name. It had to be given. There were still places like that after all.

'Tita's eyes darted around hungerily as if drinking up everything around her. She kept licking her lips however as she spoke, obviously still hungry and thirsty.

*The elf maiden's cheeks burned hotly, despite her neautral expression.

So THAT was it. Mitsuyo was his sister, whether it was a biological bond or not she wasn't sure, but it was obvious that her feelings and her concern for her brother's well being ran both deep and strong.

Sierra could understand the woman's position, even sympathize as she had siblings herself. Siblings who she would do anything for and who meant the world to her... but it was maddening to have someone discuss you, or what you represented with such contempt as if you weren't even there!

With no little effort, Sierra uncleches her jaw and forces her body to relax. After all, her heart rate WAS being monitored, and having a racing pulse betray her inner thinkings just wouldn't do.

She smiles first at Tekaru, letting him know she didn't blame him for the verbal offenses directed at her.

Then she shifts her attention back to Mitsoyo who, if looks could kill... Sierra was sure, she'd be dead right now. The woman's eyes held unveiled venom that made the elf sure to be wary of her at all times. But she had faced, and survived much worse than her current care taker.

She doesn't bother smiling, it would be a false emotion and she got the distinct impression that the effort would be both lost and unnapreciated by the enraged Kyonuske.*

"Mitsuyo. I can see why you'd be concerned for your brother's well being...
But discussing me as if I weren't here really is rude, even among merchants and farmers I'd think. Now I'm sure we were both raised better than that.
If you have greivances concerning me, please hurl your insults at me and not Tekaru. That was really quite unfair.
As far as I'm aware I've done naught against you... but if the fact that I love your brother bothers you so much that you harbor so much blatant contempt towards me, I'm afraid there's not much to be done in the way of a remedy, since I have nothing to apologize for."

*She kept her gaze even, her tone unwavering as she laid everything out in the open.

She would not tolerate being talked over as if she didn't exist. She wouldn't have other people insulted in place of her, and she would not apologize for loving Vahn. Mitsuyo could either deal with it, or not. It would be much more enjoyable for them all if she could... but... well the elf wasn't holding her breath.*

*Sighing she shakes her head as she watches Mitsuyo leave. She knew that the woman meant well... but well, what can you do?*

"Wind to thy wings... I hope you find him."

*The lasts he said just loud enough for herself and Tekaru to hear.

Clearing her head of unpleasant thoughts she turns a smiling face to the young ninja.*

"I'm as well as I can be all things considered... But I'm both famished and I feel as if I could drink the whole of Levithian sea, were that it was not salty."

*She laughed softly at the strained humor and shrugs*

"I might as well at least wait 'til Mitsuyo returns with Silver ne? I guess a checkup couldn't hurt in the meantime... But I really am famished. Could I trouble you for something to tide me over?"

*She smiles at him hopefully.*
