Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Ah right. I suppose she will be around if she's able to find her way here.... hopefully she doesn't get terribly lost." There were a lot of ways for Phia to get lost on her way to the tower, even with Nana's direction. If there wasn't a book about it, Phia could lose her sense of direction.

"Well, honestly Trilla, you know as much as I do. No clue why this guy got so close to the citadel, but I think Than knocked his lights out good >> So, he'll probably be like this a while longer depending on how hard Than hit him. So we'll just have to ask him once he wakes up. I don't think he's dangerous." The lack of dangerous consideratio was less about knowing Heine was human and more about Sho knowing his abilities could handle it.

Slayer reached for his bookmark, placed it between the pages of his book, and closed it before setting the book down on a table at the side of his chair. It seemed reading time was over for now.

Another light pat on the head should have been all Trilla needed to be assured nothing was really out of order. A light groan would be heard from Heine and he slumped forward a little more in the chair, still not apparently awake.

*While happily staring a hole through the intruder, Micha suddenly makes a loud sneeze. Someone somewhere must have been thinking or talking about the boy, that must have been it. The suddeness of such a sound coming out of Micha surprised the others aswell since it was unexpected. Trilla would jolt slightly and look at Micha in surprise. Eecheb, who still intently looming, would fall out of his seat onto the floor. To an outside observers it was like watching a poorly put together 'three stooges' skit, though amusing none the less*

Trilla: | o.o | !

Micha: |.___.

Eecheb:| x.x | ~

In light of everything that had happened that night, Mastema could only think one only partially related thought at the moment: the walk home couldn't have been too short. It wasn't his idea of the end to a good night to be walking some good few meters behind Nana while returning. In all, Mas wouldn't have turned down an offer from Teg at this point to a kill switch for the admiral himself.

But thoughts of Tegral's demise could wait now, and Mas himself felt like he'd given Nana enough time and space to settle down. Picking up his pace, Mastema quickly caught up to Nana, walking by her side amidst the pillars of the death zone, and a moment later he turned face to face with Nana, wrapping his arms around her shoulders and stopping them from entering the barrier just yet. "Nana, I don't believe you want to carry these unwanted feelings back into your home. Let them stay at the party, forget about it, and let's go back to caring about your own family. There's no reason to worry about the admiral anymore." Hopefully, Nana had had enough time to be able to drop the issue and start being more chipper now that she was home and had Mas's support.

Mastema smiled briefly when Nana affirmed to keep going. She could think about the offer all she wanted, but he didn't want her bringing in the negativity the initial proposal had caused her. Mastema's response would be a warm kiss on Nana's cheek. "Right. Tomorrow's a new day. Think about it then. You've three children who probably want your attention anyway." Resuming his place at Nana's side, Mastema continued walking with her until they were inside the safety of the fish bowl's citadel's streets.

In the north tower, it had been a night of mild amusement if nothing else, but now Slayer once again set his book down and turned his attention back to the three children. "Well well, it seems mama and papa have returned at long last," Slayer commented, referring to Mastema and Nana in the way that the children knew them rather than by name.

"Good, I was getting tired of baby sitting this guy." Sho absentmindedly prodded at Heine's unconscious head with the tip of his sheath. Unconscious people were so boring.

"I don't think they start to run out of energy until the teen years, dear.... at least not Trilla." At this point, the two would be somewhat on the sound side, though their trip to the north tower would still take them close to the main tower. Mastema wasn't sure if Nana would want to stop there first or just head straight to Slayer, Sho, and the children. The latter would probably be more welcome at the moment, though.

Slayer chuckled a little at the response, as if she expected her parents to be right there in the room. "They're on their way, sweet heart. Just be patient a little longer and I'm sure they'll come. I'm sure they want to see you just as much as you want to see them." Of course, the kids knew where the elevator was, so they could always go and 'seek out' their parents if they were so inclined.

Sho yawned and stretched while standing up. "Well hopefully they had some fun out there."

"Say, do you know where that blue haired one is? I kinda need to pay him back."

"Than? Oh he'll probably be along shortly." Sho yawned again... and then blinked rapidly, looking at Slayer. "Did you just-" Turning around again, Sho found himself looking right into Heine's face, who was no only awake but standing up and unbound.

In the middle of the ensuing shriek, Heine would find himself whacked on the head with Sho's sheath. "Ow! God! Why the hell does everyone keep doing that!?" Heine growled, not happy about his head being further assaulted.

"Don't do that then! And you're supposed to be tied up!" Sho still pointed his sheath at the man, not any happier than Heine, now that he'd been spooked.

"Haven't you ever seen escape tricks before? Geez.... for how fancy all those lasers were." Although a little miffed, Heine was at least more calm than Sho at the moment.
