Welcome to Gaia! ::

Phia appeared from within the, walking out, staring down at a book in her hand. She set a marker in and looked up, before her expression took on one of even apathy. She raised a brow.

"Wha' can I 'elp ye with Sairys?"

She shook her head.

"Don't worry about it, noth'n could 'ave been done. I'm working to get my 'usband back...My children are well..." as her sentance finished, as if on cue, Devon wandered out from the shadows, drinking blood from a juice box. He couldn't have been older than three, aged by the short time he spent in New York with Phia's former roomate. Even at this age he looked strikingly similar to his father, similar features, but softened by his youth. A shock of silvery hair that was fluffy and looked soft. His eyes fell on Sairys, One violet, the other icy blue. He looked to his mother in question. "Tha's Sairy's, Dev...She's not bad ok?" The child nodded and waved sheepishly. Phia looked back up as she picked up her son in her arms. "So 'ow 'ave ye an' Focht been?"

"Yes 'e 'as..."The note from Mastema arrived shortly after she had began talking to Sairys, it floated in from the shadows and she plucked it from the air, reading it. She looked up shortly after. "Excuse me...I need to go. Make yerself at 'ome." She didn't sense Aria or Aethi in the house everywhere and wasn't comfortable with leaving her son alone in the house. She sighed and decided, regretfully to take Devon with her and walked into the shadows.

Over the next few hours, invitations would be delivered to several locations; Twice Royal, The Black Company Dojo, The Cradle, The Citadel, The Mansion, and The Keep. The invitations were not specified for any 1 person, so anyone could attend. The invitation read as follows:



With that, any who wished to attend out of interest of curiosity, were invited to.

"Oh, of course I'm here Phia." Aethi said, silently moving up behind Phia and leaning herself on the older woman's shoulders, her hands moving somewhat inappropriately close to Phia's chest. "But I wonder. Where have you been?" By now, Phia was very likely incredibly uncomfortable, but Aethi was ready for that and prepared to hold Phia close until she was finished with her...playing.

Moving her nose close to Phia's neck, Aethi made a small sound of disapproval. "You know...I wonder if it would be too unkind to tell you of what has recently transpired back at the Dojo. Your daughter, that beautiful girl, found something very...Interesting." Moving her head now to sniff at the other side of Phia's neck, Aethi sighed. "And here you are just now coming back after a rather lengthy and unannounced absence...Reeking." Aethi didn't say what of, but Phia wasn't stupid. She would know. "Not even that shower can hide it."

Turning away from Phia and looking over her right shoulder at the woman, Aethi raised one eyebrow and placed her right hand on her chin. "I'm not asking you to justify your actions. I just find your lack of faith and conviction a little disheartening. And besides. I wonder how Aria will take to such news, what with her new discovery and what the pleasant Truinthil has discovered he can do about it." Aethi faded from view then only to appear upside down, her lips right next to Phia's left ear. "You know...Just the fact that this...Indiscretion happened, causes me to wonder just how long you have harbored such, feelings. If you can call them that."

Again Aethi disappeared for a moment, reappearing right where she was standing before, this time not looking over her shoulder at Phia. "I'd tell you myself what has happened recently in your absence, but I think it would be best that you go and see your daughter at the Dojo yourself. It should be very enlightening." Aethi began to walk away then, obviously done speaking her piece. She paused however and said in a more bright tone, "I think I'll go play with Devon." And with that she left the room.

Time passed not for this clone. He had only been on the bed for a few moments, but that mindless shell thought not of the passage of time. There was no thought as to where he was, because there was no sentience in that body. He was just a shell, though he was very slightly responsive to things going on around him. Only so much, however, to stare blankly for a moment then look away truly unaware of anything.
