 /I'm okay with a time skip./ It felt simply akward for Reina. She had taken up Miyako's offer after a slight hesitation. She sat in the massive oval tub, but instead of enjoying the space she pulled her knees up to her chest. The water was warm, her aching mussles began to soothe, and it seemed as if Reina could breathe better. But still, she was in someone elses house, a Noble's house! Reina longed to stay in the tub for at least a few more minutes, but it just didn't feel right. Reina quickly dried off with one of the almost rediculously fluffy towels and placed her clothes back on. Reina was prepared to ask her host what she wanted to speak about, only to find her fast in bed. Reina blinked a few times and quickly located a corner. She sat against the corner and pulled her knees back up to her chest. After a few moments, Reina drifted off into sleep.

Miyako had woken up in the middle of the night, seeing Reina asleep against a wall, she had placed a pillow gently behind her head and a soft blanket over her body. The next morning came too quickly in Miyako's opinion, her dreams had been so amazing leaving them in the world of the sleeping had been difficult for her. She called up one of her servants and had them retrieve breakfast for them. Miyako also had the servant make sure her personal courier was ready to go whenever she needed to send him off. Miyako didn't think she'd be making into work today, there were much more important things to attend to. She walked back over to Reina, and staying outside the personal bubble, tried to wake her with her voice. "Breakfast is ready Reina, there is coffee and juice", She said, dangling the coffee like a lure to a fish.

"Young master! Young master? It's time for you to greet the sun now, young master!"
Sena groaned. Brilliant sunlight from outside streamed into his quarters, as his shirtless body laid exposed on the bed. His maid glancing down at him worriedly, suddenly looked away with a blush as he opened his eyes. "What's wrong, my dear?" He reached out with a hand to stroke a finger down her cheek. "Faithfulness shall always be rewarded in this house. So it was, and so it shall continue to be, eh?" Pushing back the covers with a hand, he swung his legs out over the side of the bed and sat up with a yawn. "Yes, yes, I know it's time. I'll be right along shortly. That is," he raised an eyebrow, "You wish to see the other half of my body as well?"
"No, young master, I wouldn't dare!" Executing a quick curtsy, she spun around and hastily exited the room, softly closing the door behind her.
Another day, another day, Sena yawned, as he made his way out to the balcony where an ornate iron stand with a tray laid across its surface stood. Seeing the sun shining brilliantly in the sky, the young noble closed his eyes and raised his arms, beginning his daily ritual.

Roku walked aimlessly around not knowing where he was going.Apparently,he was lost and didnt think he would ever find his way back.He saw a hill and slowly climbed up it,and when he was about halfway up,he lay down.He looked in the sky to try to figure out where he was.He had become more lost than usual.While looking up at the sky,Roku grew tired and drifter off into a deep sleep.A world of dreams were he couldnt be disturbed or bothered.A world were everything was made of only what he wanted.A world that belonged to him.But it was different this time.He had nightmares and awoke in a cold sweat.He got up from the spot and started drifting once again,hoping he could find his way back to wherever he came from.

Reina could hear someone. A voice at the edge of hearing. Her eyes cracked open and saw someone directly infront of her, she acted on pure instinct. Reina suddenly rolled to her right, leaving the pillow and covers behind, and reached for her weaponry. But her holsters were empty! Suddenly, everything that was forgotten in the first moments of awareness had returned. Reina stood and looked towards the startled Miyako. "Sorry... I'm easy to surprise after waking up..." She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and stretched her right arm over her head. Reina had slept, but wasn't well rested. She couldn't help but feel tense with the absense of her weaponry...

 Marcus had been staring at the ceiling of his three room appartment for nearly an hour now. The sun was peaking through his window casting rectangular streaks of light to the far side of his bedroom. His shift had ended six hours ago and his day off had begun. Oddly enough, a rather large amount of Guardians had this specific day off as well. Marcus kept telling himself it was just a coincidence. Marcus was just beginning to zone out when his cell phone rang. He answered it with "This is Marcus, who's calling?" After a moment, he abruptly sat up. "Kayla! How's it goin'? It's been a while." Kayla was one of Marcus's good friends, except she didn't reside in Basis. Kayla was on the opposite side of the world in fact on a mission of some sorts, Guardian business. He sat listening to her for a while, then responded. "Yeah, sure. Tomorrow then. Okay, see you around!" His phone clicked off as he sat in his small bed with a smile. "Congratulations Marcus!" He said to himself. "From now on it's smooth sailin'!"

Miyako smiled and ran a hand through her hair. "It's all right, I have my own weapons", She said. She guided Reina to the breakfast table in the corner of her room and let her sit down. She pulled two long wooden cases from a shelf over head. "These are mine, I had them crafted on the day my parents...died..", Miyako explained, there was an odd look in her eyes. As if she were looking over the memory of her parents deaths as something angering, rather than depressing. The old urges came back to her as her memory drifted, the bitterness, the guilt, the furious anger and resentment. On the hilt of each sword, small roses were carved out, tinted with a deep blood colored stain, thorny vines etched into the handles covering every inch. To her it meant, just because something was beautiful and treasured, didn't mean it couldn't be poisonous and destructive. "I'm sorry, I spaced out..", She said and put them away. "In any event..What I have to discuss is very serious, it's about possibly creating..something..better..a different system for all of us..", She said.

Reina followed Miyako uneasily at first. But it soon came clear to Reina that Miyako trusted her. Inviting her into her home, offering what she could, treating Reina like any other person. Reina enjoyed this. She stared at the finely crafted swords for a moment, then Reina turned her attention to Miyako who seemed to be lost in her own mind. After Miyako stored the fine blades, she began to speak rather hesitantly. Reina nodded in responce, "I'm listening..."

Roku was walking around when he finally found a landmark leading to his way home.He ran as quik as he could and entered the house.He saw Mizuki, his baby sister, watching television."Where have you been."She asked him when he saw her."I got lost," he said "but i found my way to check on you.Im going out to see what this place looks like.Would you like to come?"He asked her."Yes" she replied as she went to change her clothes so they could go out to explore.When she was ready, they set off to see if there was anything interesting they could find.After a while of looking around,They got on a train and headed home.On thier way back,Roku went into his human form and his sister fell asleep and lay her head on his shoulder as they rode the train home.

Miyako rang a bell for a servant to come. "You are to be ready, next to my door when I need you. I will hand you a letter and you are to immediately deliver it to Senalore", She said, her voice was stiff and authoritative. It was no a voice she liked using but it kept people in check. When she turned back to Reina she was still serious, her face had lost it's sweet youthful look and gained a passionate and warrior like appearance. "Senalore and I were discussing the pros and cons..of helping to..over throw our current system. But we have some worries, whether or not your rebels just want violence and vengeance or if they can organize and help create a peoples government..", She explained. When she had Reina's answers, she would send a quick note to Senalore asking him to meet up with them.

Reina's expression remained stonelike as she listened. She stared at a white porcelin cup after Miyako had finished as if she were trying to move it simply with her gaze. "Most of the rebels of South Basis have their own agenda. I can't speak for all of them. Most honestly care about creating a new order that is fair for every member of the city. But others just want to see the streets stained in blood... I have worked with both and am not entirely sure what I want to see." Reina shifted in her seat. "But what I can do is take you to someone who isn't all about the violence."

Miyako sipped her drink and nodded to Reina. "All right, if we could do that today, that would be good. But I have to send a message to Senalore first", She explained. She wrote a quick note on a small scroll and rang a bell. Her attendant came to her side and took the scroll from her, and placed it in a small pouch. "Yes, that Senalore..", She muttered, when her request elicited a question from the attendant. They had known Senalore's reputation, and her own as well, combined with Reina's presence they had been wondering playfully about their lady's lack of virtue. "Just get it to him now, I expect a message back from him, at the veyr least, with your arrival back here..", she snapped. She looked back at Reina and smiled wryly. "My employees are somewhat more relaxed than most. Some of them are more like friends to me, however this does mean a fair amount of nosiness..", Miyako said.
She got up and disappeared behind a curtain to dress herself quickly. When she came out she was actually wearing pants again, the other night had made her feel slightly rebellious. Since htey were going to change everything anyway, might as well start with a bit of fashion. Other than the tight dark brown pants she wore, her top was pale green with a lighter brown corset that had been modified for comfort ability. "Would you like anything to wear or are you good with what you've got on?", She asked, eying Reina's clothes a bit.

Reina nodded in responce, they could go today. After listening to Miyako's explanation of her employees, she responded with "Just as long as they don't hear enough to interfere with South Basis I don't see why and explanation is needed." As the Noble went behind a curtain for some reason or another, Reina was content to run her finger in a circle along the rim of her up till now untouched cup of coffee. Reina soon noticed that Miyako had changed her clothes and she had offered Reina a change of clothes as well. "Is there a problem with what I'm wearing?" Reina asked raising and eyebrow. She had mostlikely taken Miyako's offer to offence. Sure Reina showed a fair amount of skin compared to most, but that was just her personal style. Not to mention the freedom of movement allowed in combat.
