Welcome to Gaia! ::

"So, no memories of afterwards... I saw Arya. She said that she's spent the whole time in isolation, so I can only assume the rest of you have." Sue explained. "Just seeing you alive gives me hope though...I'm sure that Older Soren and Rhys can fix you right up with their staves."

"Nino! You're awake! I'll go get Rei and Rhys, they can fix you up if you're wounded. But you may be in mental pain unfortanately.." He was very relived that the crew was still alive.

"Tell me Nino, is everyone else still alive? Were you all tortured?"

((I missed all of the good stuff...))
Hey, guys. What's going.... NINO!!!

((Something tells me that I should have gone to that party.))

What time was it? How long has he been standing here, thinking, wasting away. Hmm... it's been about a day. He felt life back at Fefga's house, maybe they came back from the party. Saturnos wondered what happened. Maybe he should go investigate... What were the possibilities? Either they had a pleasant time with the Morphs, or a fight broke out. Either way, would they be in the mood to see him again? He remembered getting forcefully thrown out of that particular house. Why was he even hanging around? Did he even belong here? Was it any of his concern what happened at this house?

If he went back, some fool would obviously try to pick a fight with him. Then everyone would get involved. Saturnos knew better than to believe that those infidels would ever side with him in an arguement, even if he were in the right. Just goes to show you how strong their bias against him is. Was he eager to get thrown back out of that house again?

What was clear to him was he could not injure them, regardless of what they did to him or how much they deserved it. They were allies of Lady Nino, and their mission was to rescue her. If he impeded them, it would not please Lady Nino. Of course, he has been trying to help them this whole time, although they somehow hate him for that.

Hmph, Saturnos decided that he would rather make things happen than stand around and do nothing. Even if such things did not turn out positive for him, he figured it would benefit him to find out exactly what happened at the party. It's not as if he wasn't used to the rejection, or didn't expect it. With a crack of his knuckles, Saturnos began another march towards Fefga's house.

(Give me a minute! I'm catching up here!)

"Uhhh..."

Rhys slowly opened his eyes.

Then he immediately shut them again as waves of nausea and pain came over him--first one after the other, then simultaneously as paisea (his term for it). Realizing he couldn't delay the inevitable, Rhys opened his eyes wearily and scanned the room. Not mine... there's a Flux tome lying on the desk there, so it may be Rei's...

"H-hello...?" he called out weakly. "Is anyone... awake?"

Sue... she looked different and her aura was substantially stronger... That shock to him wasn't as great as the shock when she practically invited him to come in. He was partially expecting a wall of Vadia, Tibarn, and Rei to tell him to get out of here. And it just gets sweeter; there's a secret in the house now! Well, he was here to find out what was going on, and learning this secret was a step in the right direction. Better yet, he didn't have to worry about troublesome newts trying to kick him out since an ally of theirs invited him in.

"Mhm, depends on the secret. I only speak with squirrels and songbirds around here, so I'm sure your secret is safe with me."

"Hm? Oh, hello Rhys. I... don't think I'm going to ask what I missed."

"R-Rhys!" Sue looked panicked, unsure what to do. It's not like she was a healer or anything... illnesses weren't something she witnessed every day. "Never mind! I should ask another healer... don't overexert yourself!"
