Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Very likely. Though if you did I either thought it inconsequensial or just annoying at the time and forgot." Slipping his .454 magnum into his coat, a tailored holster beside his left breast pocket cradling the weapon like a deadly infant, Tegral reached down to scoop up a hand full of snow, pure, clean, and white. The water dripped between his fingers as he took a nice hefty bite. Icey cold water slid down his throat, his lips and fingers burning from the cold, as he crunched the snow that hadn't immediately melted in his mouth. "You know I'm bored." Snow fell from his turned hand, slightly pinkened compared to the rest of his self. And he was cold. It wasn't a question so much as a statement of the obvious. Tegral was bored! Ten whole months and not a single thing reathed in the luminous glow of plasma flames pulled from the same source of energy that gave the sun it's eternal fire.

The Nahil had engaged the drone's hive mind, it seemed. The prototype AI was actually surpassing war-link interface expectation, drawing up general schematics of the structure's design based on previously destroyed hives of similar origins in space. It's manipulation of the data was really quite impressive, to say the least. Already the captain had more than sixty percent of all hostile forces either destroyed or incapacitated while still retaining upwards of ninety three percent of his own forces. And he still hadn't even brought the Nahil's long range batteries into active useage! Of course it wasn't the captain's doing, he just did what ever the AI ordered him to, as per his orders from Tegral himself. Amazing...now what was he going to call the new unit once it arrived?

Tegral was momentarily deafened to KB's words as a different signal wracked his circutry. A voice, soft and smooth as silk, blossomed to life within his ears and spoke words not even the greatest of ears could detect. "Tegral," This voice said over a rumbling back ground noise that dined all other sounds, "This is Kah. I'm enroute, where are you?" The voice, or rather electrical signals interpreted by Tegral's brain as words and sound, origionated from a location deep in the depths of the forest, a transmission over a heavily encoded, direct, link. The likelyhood anyone, even KB himself, could aquire the signal, let alone decypher it's protection, was ziltch.

Tegral's mouth opened, and said, rather than responding to KB, "Same place, Kah." A becon had been activated the day before for the respective parties of Tegral's new traveling companions. Over the past couple of hours Tegral has been doing that, seemingly speaking to random people who could not be found. Oh very likely KB knew it was an audio transmission, but still the sight of Tegral, decked out in finery, talking to the thin of air holding a magnum wasn't exactly...sane.

"Understood, I'll be there in ten." The voice said again, Kah he had named it. A moment of confusion passed before Tegral's face, "You're comeing here?" He asked the snow covered landscape. The responce was empty and Tegral began chuckling. Oh he definately didn't look sane at all.

Trilla: Ahh--!

*The sudden shower of snow down upon Trilla and Cole would make Trilla, cover her head with both her arms. A small and surprised yep followed as soon as the snow reached her skin. It was likely that Trilla would keep her arms up, as protection from the snow for several seconds, even after the shaking stopped. One could only imagine if the snow was instead just plain water. Something to consider for the summer perhaps as an entertaining idea on a hot day. Nothing like having an unexpected shower to pick you up on days like that after all, but that was something still a few months off. Trilla would peek just a little out from under her arm after the snow seemed to stop falling off of the large wolf*

Trilla: >.o; | ?

*Blink blink blink.*

"Oi! Hello again there and who are you?"

Cole seems to have noticed the wolf again and turns to address him when showered with snow. While he does he waves a hand at Trilla, reciting something under his breath. A sustenance spell would keep the cold from effecting Trilla too badly, but hopefully was 'quiet' enough magic that the little girl wouldn't notice Cole's concern.

"Oh! Hola Mastema, fine day yes?"

Trilla: 4laugh Papa~ heart

*The cute squeak would come from Trilla a moment or two after Mastema had arrived and spoken. Her response to Mastema being there, was much like that of the wolf... only minus the tail. Trilla wouldn't notice Cole's spell since she had been hiding herself from snow at the time. The three seemed to be well off, and there didn't appear to be any injuries. Aside from the fact the three were stuck in a crater, they seemed well*

-_-

"Cole, for the dozenth time, remember? I've been having a one-sided discussion with you on and off for the past nine months, as well as attending classes with your children taught by your wife while living in your Citadel. Any of this ringing a bell?"

Damn this routine got old.

Mastema rolled his neck a bit while Cole got annoyed. He must've just blocked out whatever the man had to say when Cole wanted to say something. "Right.... I will try to keep that in mind next time, but I have a lot of projects and priorities keeping me from paying much attention. Try not to take it personally." Mastema turned back just in time to see Trilla make her second attempt to scale the crater only to slide back down. He chuckled quietly to himself. "Now now, Trilla, let's try not to get upset." Offering the girl a slight smile, Mastema stood up and put one foot down inside the crater. In a controlled motion, Mastema slid down to the snow just a few feet from Trilla and the others. Now on equal footing, Mastema crouched down to about Trilla's height.
