Welcome to Gaia! ::

*Trilla would trot to catch up at first, but then found the pace was pleasant enough to just walk, and so she would. So, just what was Trilla doing since Zenogais had dropped her off that day? Mostly sleeping and looking out the windows up in the mind to the city streets below, so her statment was generaly correct. The streets probably seemed a little more daunting now that she knew Tyrsias was about, and inside the citadel. He could pop up almost anywhere and start harassing her, something she didn't like or want*

Trilla: >.> | Not much.

*Eecheb was still wobbling about slowly, so he wouldn't be too hard to find. That plus his energy signal was picked up by Zio's sensors much easier than that of Trilla or Micha's. By the time Proto did come upon the boy, he would either be wandering about still, or would have taken a seat elsewhere*

Eecheb: >_<;

*Both Slayer and Albert would find that there was far more substance to this creature than was first thought. On its first appearance in the citadel, it was little more than a vertical half shpere. On the second, a mass of dark shadow which covered several floors on the outside of the citadel's central tower. On this occassion it was a vertical half shpere, with the shadows and they were slowly taking shape as they retreated toward the sphere. The first sight might be one slightly disturbing to most, as two rather large and meaty looking stumps appear from the shadows. You could even see to the bone, it looked sevred straight though. But if its arms were severed then what was making the bongo sounds? Perhaps there was still a few missing pieces to the puzzle yet. The next to appear would be six outwardly curved pieces of skin surrounding the sphere. Perhaps flaps to protect it? In which case, was the sphere really and eye? Finally to appear was something that looked like it could be a spine, it was only semi visible and went straight up from the sphere to the ceiling where there was still some blue and black mixure of shadow present. It seemed to be very armored with what looked like more strange skin that fades in with the shadows*

???: ........ Kewaaa~ | Kewaaa~ ...........

*Weakly, Nana raises up her left hand to lightly come to rest upon Mastema's right cheek, before giving him a definitive answer. It seemed to be a statment when spoken, and not so much a question. The rest didn't really seem to matter for now. Nana knew she was with Mastema, and so she must have been saved, somehow. As for how she felt, she must have practically been a hollow shell*

=__=

...with one whom I love. | Hnn..... very, very weak.

Trilla: <.< | ? | Mama is ok?

*About the only child who probably knew anything about the events was Micha. Both Trilla and Eecheb had been wandering about and playing in the meantime, and Micha had been healing after his punishment from Mastema. So in other words, between running about the streets, being harassed by Tyrsias, and going to ask Mastema a question once which never happened due to the child falling asleep, the child had no knowledge of her mother being so very ill. Eecheb had seen her before Nana had collapsed, and at the time Nana was acting a little odd or so the boy took note, but he made nothing of it. So when Zenogais asked if Nana was better, then Trilla could only answer him as to how she seemed before her month long disappearance*

Eecheb: o_<; | Hmmmn?

*Eecheb wasn't expecting to see Proto any time soon, just randomly puttering about the citadel. With one eye cracked open, upon hearing the beep Eecheb looks out to the approching Proto. Why was it there? What did Proto want? Had it come for him? Was it going to take him back to the central tower? Would Eecheb let Proto take him back, or would he decline the offer?*

=__=

Mmhmm... just one thing... | Do you think I could get a hug?

*It had been a month since she had conciously received any sort of warmth and tender loving attention. A hug was all Nana needed, something physically tangible and something she could gain easily enough. It was a simple question, a request that was easy for Mastema to provide and carry out. At least Nana wasn't demanding*

*Trilla and the others didn't know too much about illness, mostly because they had yet to suffer any. Though Nana was ill due to poisoning, not germs or a virus so it was a little different. About the only thing Trilla could remember about illness was from the story of Peter Pan, which Nana had read to the children earlier on in one of their lessons. In a way, Nana was like Tinkerbell who had ingested poison to save Peter, only instead of drinking poison it was a sedative and its antidote delived to Nana while being questioned. The chemical compositions had later changed inside of Nana's body and begain to poison her, leaving her in the current state she was in now. The news did indeed get a reaction for Trilla, though probably not the one Zenogais was expecting. With little warning as often seemed to happen, Trilla took off down a side street facing the central tower. Something did seem strange when Nana had told the children they were to have a lesson, and then the following day there was nothing. In fact there had been several days of nothing, save for two harassments from Tyrsais. Concerned that her mother might still be very sick like Tinkerbell, Trilla was probably going to run the whole way back to the tower non-stop*

Trilla: o.o | Mama!!

*Though it seemed rather obvious, Eecheb would answer Proto with the only answer he could give to the robot. The boy kept his hands lightly on his head, as too much pressure just made it hurt more. It had started as an itch, and eventually moved its way up to a throbing pain. Hopefully whatever this was, would pass shortly*

Eecheb: >_< | Mnn... my head hurts.

*Nana's head would rest lightly where placed, and a bit of color would come back to her. Still being rather weak, Nana could only really place her hands on Mastema's hips, if even and let him do the rest. Mastema probably felt rather warm to Nana, and the hug was rather inviting and muchly appriciated. It seemed to be just what she needed for the time being*

--__--
Hnn... heart

*Saying sorry for leaving would have to come later, for now making sure her mothr was alright seemed more important. It would take a few minutes to reach the central tower, even as fast as Trilla was. The only place the child could figure her mother would be, was the bedroom. Trilla would of course be right, only it would take a few minutes to get there to know for sure. How lucky for Trilla, that Nana had recently woken up. Perhaps Zenogais' timing of the news was slightly informed. Meanwhile Eecheb would oblige Proto and would walk with him. By now he had a splitting headache, only he hadn't been drinking this time so for certain it wasn't a hangover if anything. Perhaps a seasonal headache? Such things did often happen in humans, and maybe the same for Eecheb. Autum was here, and winter was sure to be on its way. If Eecheb was just overly sensative to his environment, then one might wonder how the boy would fair once Spring came around again, even if he had no symptoms in the beginning. Inside the tower on level ninety-eight, Micha had gone to sleep again. With no food or drink for several weeks as he waited, the boy was probably feeling about the same as his mother at the moment. One floor up in the master bedroom, Nana would shake her head gently to Mastema's question. Food, Nana could now ask Zio for at anytime, now that she was awake. Time she seemed to have pleanty of too, so really, loving attention was all she really needed from Mastema for now*

--__--

I just need time, a little to eat, and a little more of this...

*After several minutes of running, Trilla would wind up at the bottom of the central tower. Without so much as stopping, the child pushes the doors open and heads straight for the elevator. It would be faster than running up the stairs today, since she wanted to see Nana, now rather than later. Eecheb would continue along, at a still slowed pace. His hands were still placed lightly on the side of his head, and the boy was probably feeling rahter annoyed. If Thanatos wished to see Micha, then the boy would need to be woken up again as he had just fallen back to sleep. Perhaps he would get a few minutes of needed rest then*

Micha: z Z z Z z...

*Meanwhile, Nana would remain as she was, where she was for as long as she was able aswell. Still being rather weakend, she could very well pass out again or fall asleep at any moment. Though with an impending visit from Trilla, Nana would probably remain awake for at least a little while longer*

--__-- heart

*Nodding ever so slightly, Nana would agree to discussing any of the events Mastema had just mentioned, at a later time when she had the strength. Meanwhile Trilla had boarded the elevator and was now heading up the tower. As per usual the ride would take about a minute or so, and in the meantime Nana had been told that the children were safe, so her heart could rest a little easier with that knowledge*

--__--

All right.

*Trilla was fidgeting about quite a bit, just waiting for the elevator ride to end. It had taken too long to realize and now the child had something new to be anxious over. For Trilla, the elevator wasn't being near fast enough. If she was lucky, when she was older, just maybe Mastema could teach her how to fade from one place to the next, along with the others of course. Nana would simply continue to rest up against Mastema in luu of the silence, though Trilla's visit would probably cheer her up greatly*
