*He seems to be trembling, almost in fear. Through staggered gasps and bloodied vision he looks up to Cora.*
"No...same, but different. You...don't remember......damn"
*He slumps to his side and sort of sits there at an angle, his arm propping him up unintentionally. He seems to fade out of consciousness for a moment as the two maces on his back clatter to the floor, making quite a noise. He seems to shake back to reality and stares at Haelous for a moment. Even as he speaks the visible wounds, which there are few, heal quickly, but the wounds from exertion are deep inside, body and soul.*
"Help...you can't...Tainted self...inflicted...them...Cora....his power grows in the past...Determined...to create...feedback loop."
*He pauses as he catches his breath. Slowly his breath comes closer to a normal breathing pattern as he shuts his eyes tight as if enduring extreme pain. He grunts several times as pain flares through his spent body. He slowly looks up at Cora, for a brief moment a caring look flashes across his visage.*
"Did you sleep well in 'my' room?"

:::Cora runs to his side to see if there's anything she can do...:::
:::She puts her arms beneath him in an attempt to keep him upright. She is taken aback by his words:::
I don't understand...last night was not a dream...? I can feel that you are not Tacitus...but you are....who are you? And where is Tacitus really?
:::A look of concern, both for this man's health, and for the where-abouts of Tac:::

*stands to the side, brow furrowed, unsure of who just dropped in*
*Cora says it's one person, and it looks like this person, but it's not. Why would I higher being choose the form of someone she knows? Perhaps to just appear familiar?*
Have you met this person before Cora...?

:::She looks to Healous, still holding up 'Tac':::
He appeared in the Brink last night...it's not exactly Officer Tacitus... perhaps it is just a part of him, escaped here...
:::She looked at the man she was holding, wondering exactly what the truth was:::

"I should have explained the last time I was here. I am a god of my world, though I know not of what quite yet. The Tainted you know is my Avatar, my physical arm in the world of Gaia. We were both as one not more than two months ago by his count of time, but something drastic changed us, seperated us into god and Ava...."
*He coughs up a bit of blood anda strange translucent goo, but definately not mucus before continuing.*
"...Avatar. I search for my past and my future and he searches for a life. Tainted by evil he is. My polar opposite almost now. He became so strong....manipulating the past....he nearly killed me..."
*He enters a particularly violent fit of coughing, leaning up against Cora this time. As he calms another trickle of blood runs from his mouth and nose.*
"The Officer Tac you know is on a rampage in both my time and his own past. I....cannot help him....I broke the rules and interfered directly, but to no avail."
*He paused and glanced at Cora with a smile.*
"Last night was indeed not a dream Cora, and you never answered my question, how did you sleep? Well I hope."

I...I slept just fine, thank you...
:::Odd thing to demand:::
Will you be alright? Is there anything I can do to help you?

"No no no, I'll be alright, I just nearly killed myself, but I'll get over it. I can only hope my Avatar can. Hearing you slept well is enough. See, I would have thought the disorganized nature of the room may have been a bit odd, but whatever."
*With a groan he pulled himself from the ground, slowly gaining his balance on his feet.*
"Ugh...I need a drink..."

:::Cora got up and ran after him:::
Wait... I...
:::She had questions...but...not really. She was just very confused::
Can you tell me how to stop the madness that has overcome Tacitus?

"Patience. Once I know myself, we will know how to return him to his son, his life, and to you. I gaurantee you this. Just give me Time."
*He slowly walked away, his two maces dragging behind him on his coat. He said nothing else as he continued down the corridor.*

*still rather confused, he decides it's probably best to just go to bed*
Today was nice, but I'm quite exhausted. Since I don't seem to be fading, I will try staying here tonight. Good night Cora.

:::Cora, still concerned about recent events, nods to Haelous, she walks over and gives him a kiss on the forhead:::
Goodnight Haelous.

:::She sees Haelous off, and continues in the pressing matters concerning her at the moment. She approaches "Tac":::
I thought, while I was sleeping I heard you say something....why does Tacitus come after me...?

*heads into his room, locking his door behind him, and heads to bed*
((Both in real life and on here. Thanks for a great 12hr+ RP!!!))

*Aetas pauses for a moment, not turning around as he begins.*
"My avatar...he...I think he cares for you, maybe deeply, whether it is displaced emotion or not, I do not know."
*He turns to face Cora....*
