Vice appeared in the back of the room, leaning back in a chair. His clothes were, for some reason, shades of blue and white. They looked almost like holy robes and he seemed out of place with them. On his shoulder was the puppet. It sat up on its own and looked around every now and again, but did not move from its spot upon Vice shoulder.

Moving slowly through the wilderness, her feet eventually brought her back to the bar. With a book in hand, she was entirely involved with her reading, as she wandered in. Looking up when she felt she was not alone, she smiled a bit and nodded to him in greeting before returning to her reading and wandering around the room.

Vice was off in his own little world for some time after she walked it, not even noticing that she had greeted him. After a few moments he blinked and looked right at her, tilting his head slightly. "Ziven... by any chance have you seen a nine foot tall man walking around here?" His voice was kind for once and had a rather warming quality... most unlike his usual tone.

"Aye." she replied softly, tilting her head. Wondering some things and realizing her own lack of knowledge, she followed up with; "At least .. I assume he may be about nine feet in height. I am not a good judge of such things .. but .. there is one whom is rather taller than the rest in these parts. I have only seen him though, I know not where he is."

"That is fine, we don't need to know his exact location." He said, snapping his fingers. A red pair of eyes seemed to open from the darkness behind him as a loud growl filled the room for a moment. Once it passed Vice spoke. "Find and watch our Gigantos friend... but do not harm him." The detail-less puppet nodded its head in agreement, and a moment later the eyes were gone. He continued to lean back in his chair, a very small smile playing at the corners of his mouth. "How 'ave you been, Ziven? Well I assume?" His voice never lost the warm, kind feeling that it somehow obtained.

"Why do you wish for him to be watched? He is very gentile .." she said softly, looking at him with concern, almost annoyance. "I am fine. Are you well also?"

Vice looked straight at her, moving a bit of his black hair from his face to get a better look at her. His normally glowing silver eye had gone dull, and his other eye was a dark blue color. His face had more color than it normally did as well. "We watch him in case he is unstable... and for study. It is difficult to find a living Gigantos, and even harder to find one with any sort of intelligence beyond basic instinct." His smile had faded for a moment, but after she asked her question it began to play at his lips again. "As well as can be, I suppose. How is your family?"

"You are knowledgeable of his race .. why do you need to observe him individually?" she asked tilting her head, trying to understand better. Moving closer to him, she tilted her head, noting the difference in his appearance now in comparison. "My sister is fine, this I know. My father is with Seisuke-ona far away, we do not know how he is, though I will assume well."

Vice shrugged a bit, causing the puppet to almost fall from his shoulder. "I am only knowledgable about their race because I lived in the same time period they did... but I never really cared much about them until they were almost entirely wiped out. The only things I know about them are from legends and the small knowledge I gathered while they were still around." Realizing that the puppet was having a bit of trouble regaining balance, Vice gently lifted it and put it right back where it had been. "It is good to hear that your sister is well... and if she is well, then I think your assumption is correct."

"She is a bit sad .. concerned .. for his well being. I am also, of course. We share our concern, the longing with each other. It helps us to have hope for his safe and speedy return." she said cheerfully, bobbing her head, though concern still showed on her face. "Do you long for your family?"

Her question his Vice in a rather peculiar way. Had he been his normal self, he probably would have dismissed or ignored it... but he found himself unable to do so. "In all reaility, I have no family to long for. I have outlived my parents, my children, my pupils... even one of my brothers. I had lost them both, but one of them decided to come back to me." He pointed his thumb towards the puppet. "... and since he has returned, he does not leave me."

Nodding her head, she acknowledged his words. She had, in a way, been expecting something a bit more heart felt from his reply yet once the words were spoken, she was not surprised. Realizing, though, that she had been half expecting him to say something about Reeve, she tilted her head slightly. "Do you miss Reeve?"

His smile completely faded, becoming almost a frown. "It my own way, I do... but what is done is done. If I were to dwell on the deaths on the people I have ever cared for, I would be more of an emotional wreck than I already am." He flicked his wrist and a chair pulled out in front of her, giving her a place to sit. "So have you found someone new yet? Someone who... catches your eye, so to speak."

Slowly she began to move across the room, seating herself on the chair that he pulled for her. She sat gracefully, bobbing her head, thanking him for the seat. "Not at all. I am .. very loyal. Though I realize and acknowledge he is dead in my mind, my heart has not yet made the same realization." she said softly, watching him with interest.

"I see..." He said with a slight nod of his head. Putting his hand down on the table, the puppet scaled down his arm and walked over to Ziven. Though it was small, it extended its hand in greeting. "He wants you to know that his name is Khazid, and that he greets you." Vice said as he closed his eyes and rocked a bit in the chair. "Oh, I ment to ask you..." you said, looking at her curiously. "... Is there anything strange about the Gigantos? And I know you do not know him, but something that... feels strange when you are around him."
