Sho smiled back at Trilla's response, glad to see that the kids had something to do in what was becoming a more and more combat driven home. He lightly patted the child on her head, "Well good. I'm glad you two are having fun ^_^ Hmm.... Where's Eecheb? >> Isn't he with you two?"
The barrier would close behind Zackala, and he would be left to his own devices. At the same time, as Tyr was leading Yuri around the citadel, Zio would send a message to his PDA. Tyr would find the message contained a notice that Slayer had begun his sparring near the main tower, and that he and his companion had been invited, as said at the conference. It would be a good way to get Yuri integrated with the rest, since most of the citadel inhabitants were there.
"Wonderful," Mastema responded to Nana, happy to hear her agreement, "I am sure that the others will be pleased to see you again as well." Mastema placed a light kiss on Nana's cheek before moving to let her stand up, still holding her hand, ready to assist. "Micha went with Trilla to your library early in the day....and then spent most of it there. Eecheb, for lack of better terms, spent his time exercising, but he is in his room right now. We can invite him on our way down."

Trilla: >.> || No~
*The answer to Sho's question would be a short yet accurate answer. Eecheb was currently still watching the carton on his bed, not terribly exciting but at least he was doinhg something. Suddenly snatching the carton again, Eecheb would try to peak throught the hole he had made with his fang. The liquid inside seemed to be an off white, and there were still several bubbles from when Eecheb had shaken the contents up*
^__^
So, it sounds like a plan...!
*A light blush would appear after the kiss, though that wasn't that uncommon with Nana. Taking his hand lightly, Nana would accept Mastema's gesture of assistance; if anything it was gentlemenly of him*

"Hmm... and here I thought you'd all be together. Oh well, I hope he's doing fine as well." Sho nodded and started to stand up from where he was. He probably didn't have much time before Slayer decided that it was time to practice again..... though Sho and Omega thought of it more as an a** kicking for themselves.
Nana's recovery had speeded along in the recent week, which seemed to produce nothing but progress in all respects. Leaving the room and getting down the stairs would take just under a minute in all, with Nana's almost recovered state. Once at the door to the children's room, Mastema paused and looked into the room with Nana, seeing what Eecheb was up to now. Nana would probably be the one to call attention from Eecheb and invite him with then. Mastema simply grinned a little.

*Once Sho was standing again, he might note that Trilla was watching him, bright eyed and bushy tailed as the saying went. She was full of her usual vigar and energy, and wanted to soak up everything she saw like a sponge. For the moment both children would remain standing, though if instructed they would probably sit down to watch. They had never witnessed a practice fight before, and it was nigh unlikely they were going to participate, so sitting and watching would probably be best*
Trilla: 4laugh heart
Micha: . . .
*Eecheb was standing and currently facing between his mirror and the bathroom door, so his back was turned to the main door. In his hands he held onto the container still, his tail would be swinging back and forth at a constant rhythem. The boy seemed completely ignorant to the fact that there was someone at the door*
^__^
Eecheb.
Eecheb: eek Euaah!!
*The boy jumped in place, making a sharp turn to face his parents. Suddenly remembering he had something in his hands, Eecheb fumbled with the carton for a moment before trying to hide it behind his back, for one reason or another. At that point he was standing rather ridgedly, wings tucked in, tail still, rather alert and for some reason hidign the carton of cream behind his back*
Eecheb: eek Y-- yes?!

Sho blinked lightly at Trilla's more than happy expression, but just smiled back. Turning to look where he had previously been fighting, Sho placed his hand on the girl's head happily, stroking/patting her again.
Mastema couldn't help but chuckle at the startled reaction. In his demeanor, Mastema recognized some of Nana's own traits. Still, he had to respect the rigid manner in which the boy stood in the presence of his parents. "I apologize if we interrupted anything, Eecheb. However, Slayer is holding his practice fights against the others in front of the tower right now. Your brother and sister are already there, and we thought you might like to attend as well....... is something wrong?"

Trilla: whee heart
*Any positive attention was of course welcomed by the child, so her reaction would be an obvious one. That being more smiles, pinkend cheeks, and charm to the max. Giving off an image like that, it could be hard to be mad at the child, if there was anything to be mad about in the first place. Meanwhile back at the tower, the ridgidness of Eecheb's stance was clearly an uncomfortable and unnatural one*
Eecheb: eek Ah! Ah-- ok?! Ah-- n--no!
*As Eecheb spoke and answered Mastema, his left eye would start to twitch slightly. The reason for the twitch being that the boy suddenly felt a subtle and steady drip on his tail and something slowly rolling down the length of it... the cream. In his fumbling, Eecheb had turned the carton with the bite mark facing down. A little more fidgetting with the carton behind his back and it would be right side up again with the hole facing the ceiling, though now of course there was cream on his hands, not to mention a few drips on the floor aswell, as some of the cream rolled over the side of Eecheb's tail. It was a most strange sensation and the boy was doing his damndest not panic with some strange substance running down an appendage. Visibly both Mastema and Nana could probably see the slight panic setting in, not to mention the clear dislike for what ever was actually troubling him*
Eecheb: mad
>.>;
E--Eecheb?

Mastema just raised a brow at the child. His attempts to hide his panic and discomfort were less than refined. Mastema would just sigh lightly, and then look back to Eecheb with a soft grin and a calm voice. "You do not have to be so uptight around me, Eecheb. I can see something is bothering you. You can tell me; what is it?" Mastema was trying to be more considerate of Eecheb than he'd been in the past, to be more inviting as Slayer had suggested. Hopefully the boy wouldn't keep hiding whatever it was now that Mastema made it obvious he knew there was a problem.

Eecheb: mad N-- n- nothing!
*The boy was continuing to be stuborn, dispite the feeling of something moving along his tail, that he hadn't pourpously put there. The thoughts "Ugg! Grose!! Get it off of me!", were probably running through the boy's head. Nana would sigh lightly at the situation, then would bluntly ask the one question Mastema probably should have*
^__^;;
Eecheb... what are you hiding behind your back?
Eecheb: .____., || !
*Well... that was it, he had been made. Shrinking back a little and pulling a guilty face, reluctantly the boy produced the catron infront of him. At first glance it didn't seem all that much of a big deal. It would probably take a moment before the blue letters along the side were reccognized as reading as "creme". Even then, why the boy had hidden it was well... probably just a kid thing actually. Just being startled, it was an instinctual reaction. Both Mastema and Nana likely saw the boy fumbling around with the carton before hiding it anyhow. Eecheb now felt guilty for having hidden the carton, even though there wasn't really much to worry about. Even children needed some freedoms to keep their own secrets, and activities to themselves. That being said, Eecheb was unlikely to be scolded, although a cleaning bot would likely be needed to clean up the slowly setting cream on the floor by Eecheb's bed*
Eecheb: v.v;;

Finding a house in suitable condition took roughly half an hour; by that time he was more than ready to curl up and go to sleep. Inside was food, like the robot had said and even a large bed. But he ran into two problems. One, the heater in this house was broken and two, all of the clothes here were many sizes too large. So Zackala set out from the house in search of another, hopefully with the supplies he needed.

::Tyrsais would pause at the door stopping dead, Yuri would have to be paying attention otherwise he would run right into the back of Tyr. Tyr would remove the PDA from his pocket looking at the LCD screen scanning the text for a few moments. After another short pause he would return the device to its home. Now he would start off heading west toward the central Tower. He kept up a swift pace but not so swift that Yuri couldn't keep up::
Looks like we have a new plan it's time to see an elder...
::He wouldn't look back but it was clear he knew exactly where Yuri was probably another part of the invisible bond that they shared. Yuri might feel an unusual presence in the distance one similar to Tyrsais and himself. The rest of the presences he might not feel since not attuned to his new power::

Mastema hadn't expected it to be something quite so trivial as a cream carton; maybe he expected he'd broken something, but not a small, less than tasteful beverage. He just chuckled a little at the child, hardly seeming downcasting to the boy. "Is that all? That is not something you need to hide from us, Eecheb. You are quite free to take what you wish from the tower cafeteria.... although I get the impression that that probably was not the drink you were looking for, was it? I may not speak from experience, but cream milk hardly has much appeal as a drink" Mastema was trying to be more agreeable with Eecheb, by instead asking him whether that was what he wanted while also saying how it wasn't really a good choice for beverage. Hopefully the child wouldn't be afraid to at least agree with Mastema. "Did you get that one confused with another?"

*So... that was it? "Is that all?"? Eecheb sighed briefly in relief to himself. This was a trivial matter, so he had no need to be punished. Mastema was correct however, Eecheb had originally been going for a carton of chocolate milk. The containers were so similar that he didn't bother to read the carton. Things in cartons had tasted grand, up until now, so the boy simply took the chance*
Eecheb: >_>;; || I guess so...

Two hours later, Zackala was snugly curled up under a comforter back in the first house. In that time he had managed to obtain a few sets of suitable clothing. However, there was no luck with a heater. Instead Zack dragged in an old barrel, filled it with some scavenged wood and lit a fire with basic Pyralis abilities. The room was then comfortable enough to settle in for a long nap.

Mastema nodded, still grinning softly. "Well then I suppose we had better get going to the others. Come; we shall get you something else to drink on the way." Eecheb had already expressed his interest in going to the sparring match, so Mastema would just get the boy something else on the way. Mastema locked his elbow with Nana's. He gave her a slight smirk and started walking towards the elevator, hoping Eecheb would follow.

Thanatos_M "You're a long way from home pal, so you might wanna think twice about eaves dropping." The mechanical toned voice came from above Mugiri. When he looked up, he would see the odd looking android in red gear looking down on him, sitting on the edge of the building. Closing his fist and then extending his thumb and index finger, a small arc of electricity formed, and Zeno pointed his finger down at Mugiri. "You must be the rookie Lord Mastema took in some time ago. I'm not impressed by your spy tactics." Zeno promptly chuckled, making his artificial mouth light blink. "Eep." Mugiri started, and looked over the mechanical being. He furrowed his brow at its words. "Is their no chance, or maybe a review I can appeal to in order to change my limitations? I am much stronger since I was last here, if that is the problem." He sat down and crossed his legs, a calculating pose for him.
