Relinth chuckled slightly when they all stopped and began to salute. It was quite the sight the metallic greeting committee all set proper for their master. He turned the direction that they seemed to be waiting for someone to come from.
"Well here I am and I didn't even dress up to the occasion. Oh well atleast I brought a little gift"
He looked over at Tyr who remained hibernating to recover from his injuries. The vampire was still unconscious but was beginning to show some healing across his body.
The voice in the back of his head whispered in a hiss at him.
You'll see... you can never escape your past. You can't ignore me forever. We are nothing without each other.

*After a moment or two, a woman would appear amidst the rubble. She had long white hair and blue eyes, and clearly she was wearing angelic garb. This was one of the angels that Relinth had sensed earlier? This was the next highest ranked person that could meet him? She seemed.... disarming. Actually more than disarming, she seemed to be startled as well. Probably due to the fact that Tyrsias was unconscious and thrown over Relinth's shoulder. The woman seemed to be speechless, a hand held up to her mouth in shock*
" ............ "
*Relinth probably hadn't been expecting-- well, this. Finally after soaking in the whole scene for a moment or two, the lady of the Citadel would speak. Her free hand would extend slightly as if to touch Tyrsias from a distance*
" Wh-what happened? "

Relinth would stare intently at the woman as she approached. He seemed himself in a bit of a shocked state. He hadn't at all expected to see this sort of person in any sort of superior position over Tyr. He also felt a bit uneasy knowing if she paid enough attention she could sense the depth of his corruption as a fallen angel.
"Uh... well that's not exactly hard to explain but it's not exactly as I'd like it to sound either. I... well I nearly killed him. To put it as simply as I can."
He'd pause for a moment before quickly speaking again in a bit more of a rushed tone to express himself.
"You have to understand he came to my home and attacked me. We have a bit of a history... Not to mention I'm the one holding Albert. Though I assure you I've done the older vampire no harm. I was merely trying to tie up some centuries old loose ends... I'm not doing a good job of making myself sound any more redeeming am I?"
He sighed lightly knowing the gravity of the whole situation was difficult to understand from the outside and that given his looks and the current situation of holding a mutilated vampire made things worse.
"I wanted to make sure my old friend got help... I can't heal vampires. I certainly don't want him to die. That's the long and the short of it."
He stopped hefted Tyr down into his arms. He wasn't quite sure what to do with him now. He had expected a warrior like himself not an unassuming angel.

*Relinth may not have noticed himself, but the woman before him was also a fallen angel. The level of her corruption however would be hard to grasp, as she didn't really look or act the part. Also, with so many dark creatures around, what was one more? It wasn't as if Relinth was the worst of the worst afterall, and even if he was, the man wasn't being aggressive at the moment. But being in a higher position over Tyrsias, yes in a way Nana was, but she wasn't the next highest ranked. Relinth would have no knowledge of this of course, but one had to wonder what was going through his head just then*
" .....! "
*A little taken a back by the plain admission to having beaten on Tyrsias, nearly killing him. The woman's hands would be placed together and moved to the middle of her chest, so that her thumbs were over the center of her rib-cage, and just a few inches below her collarbone. Her visage certainly showed true concern for the man, and confusion over what Relinth was talking about. The part about defending himself from an attack was understandable and all, but who was Albert? Why was he being held? There was another vampire being held-- hostage by this man?*
" --a-ah... "
*It was clear the woman wasn't certain how to respond to this information. There was a lot to take in, and new information that wasn't known before suddenly thrust upon her. Tyrsias had a lot of gaps to fill in, once he was up and about again that was*
" --ah- I.. I think we can help. T-there, place him there. They'll take him to a nearby medical building. "
*Pointing to the two stretcher bots, it appeared they were the preferred way to transport the vampire. Granted that the woman didn't appear like she was able to handle Tyrsias under her own power. Perhaps that's why the bots were deployed in the first place? How exactly did one save a vampire in the first place? Give him a dark place to recover? Blood seemed like the more obvious choice, but where that blood would come from was a mystery. Well, unless Relinth suspected from the meek looking woman infront of him. After that, did Relinth wish to travel with Tyrsias to the medical building or was he simply going to leave? The choice was his to make, but his old friend was in good hands now, just as he'd wanted*

Relinth walked with the vampire in his arms over to the robots and placed on him on the stretcher. He placed a hand on the vamp's forehead for a moment and whispered.
"Sorry again old friend... I'll make sure you are taken care of this time. Wouldn't be right to abandon you again."
He would take a step back and look back up to Nana. He was closed his eyes and sighed again before speaking.
"I'm being rude... I'm Relinth Thares. I'm sorry for thrusting all this upon you miss. I'm sure you didn't expect someone coming into your home with a nearly dead compatriot today. I certainly do apologize.
Then he turned back to look at Tyr and the robots.
"I do have a plan for healing him if you're interested in hearing it. I sadly just can't produce most of the items needed to do so... I would like to stay with him until he's a bit better if you don't mind though. It's my fault he's this way so..."

*Hands clutched together again, the woman would watch over Relinth as he placed Tyrsias down and turned to her again. It looked like the man was taking responsibility for his actions, so that was good at least. Relinth's appearance didn't affect the woman too much, she had seen worse afterall*
" N-nn. "
*Whether or not the Citadel had all of the required items was unknown, but hopefully for Tyrsias' sake they would. The robots with the stretchers would begin moving, as would the robot with Relinth's weapons. The two with weapons would wait for Relinth so that they could remain behind him. It was all for the protection of the lady after all, understandably*
" Y-you can stay in the next room to him if you like "
*Vampires healed kinda quickly right? Without knowing how long it would take, Relinth was given permission to stay at least long enough until the man was a little bit better. No doubt guards would remain in the area for protection of the other residence*

Relinth nodded to Nana and took the moment to look around at all the robots. Such a complex set of defenses for her. Had she been capable of defending herself certainly she would have been armed. He would turn to her.
"Thank you for being so considerate. I'm a stranger in your home and I didn't expect such a fair welcome. I had become accustom to more hostile receptions everywhere I've gone. I'm sure being a former resident of the great heavens yourself you can understand that..."
He would take a small step toward her extending his hand toward her to shake her hand. She could easily notice the severe burns on his hands and arms as well as a few deep wounds he had neglected to tend too.
"What's your name anyway miss? It's hard to properly thank one for their hospitality when you can't even properly address them.
He chuckled slightly realizing he had been talking an awful lot without her saying so much as a few words.
"I'm talking to much aren't I?"

" --ah... hnn. "
*When addressing the woman as a former resident of heaven, her entire aura seemed to shift from a shy-curiosity into one of sadness and remorse. It appeared that Relinth had hit a sour note with her. She would take note of Relinth's injuries, and make mention of them. Given her current state of mind however, sadly she would not extend her hand to greet his in welcome*
" Y-you're hurt as well..... "
*Upon Relinth's next question, the woman's answer would come slowly. The sour note from before was a touchy subject for her. As for talking too much, that would go unanswered for now as well*
" ..........N--Nana. "

Relinth gave her a bit of a puzzled look. He wasn't sure what he had said that seemed to change her mood but as soon as she mentioned his own injuries he would look down at his hand and arm. He winced as soon as he looked at it.
"Urg... well it never hurts until you look at it... I'm okay though it's minor stuff. Nothing that won't heal up I'm sure."
He was either confident in his own abilities or lying as the wounds weren't all that minor, not life threatening but clearly they were opportune for infection. He brought his hand back in and shook it slightly trying to once again ignore the pain, after a few seconds it seemed to fade away again to him. He looked up suddenly realizing what he had said.
"Oh... I'm sorry. I often don't think before I speak. Well actually I suppose I haven't had much of anyone to talk to for so long I'm a little out of practice. I didn't mean to hit on a sore subject. Suppose I was right... I'm definitely talking to much."
He'd turn to follow the robots his voice trailed off a bit at the end of his sentence. He was a bit disappointed in himself for making her unhappy.
"Well Miss Nana it's a pleasure. Thanks again for being so understanding."

*Relinth's wounds looked very painful, and would need treatment themselves. Taking that into consideration, Nana would tell that man that he would need to get fixed as well. Either she or a robot would help him and Tyrsias out with their injuries*
" I-if we're already going to a medical building, y-you may as well get treated there yourself. "
*Whether Relinth talked a lot or not wasn't an issue, it was his injuries that mattered. No matter how he tried to hide it, it was still clear that he was hurting bad. Also something else... this woman certainly stuttered a lot, and paused from time to time as well. Random, but something noticed*
" It's--fine. "
*For the rest of the journey to the medical building, Nana would remain rather quiet. Relinth might note from time to time, that he would briefly catch sight of other robots with guns following their same path. Someone wanted to keep the woman safe, it was something to keep in mind*
" Nnn. "

Relinth seemed adept at ignoring his own injuries instead he was more interested in Nana. In particular her relative silence about the whole situation and her peculiar speech habits so far.
"I'm sorry if I'm making you nervous. I promise you I mean no harm to anyone here. Also I wouldn't worry about me too much, it's not the first fight I've suffered injuries from."
As he turned and followed the robots toward the medical building he began to notice just how many defensive robots seemed to be assigned to protecting this particular lady. He would pause near the entrance to the building.
"You aren't just any resident of this place are you?"

*Granted Nana would stutter... a lot! But that was just part of her charm. She would stutter more when talking to people she didn't know, verses closer friends, family and familiars. Nana also didn't mean to be overly silent, it's just how the situation played out this time around*
" ah-ahh, oh... no... I- I'm sorry. S-still, you should look after your injuries as well. "
*The robots with Tyrsias would enter the building and place him down gently on a work table. From there, Relinth would have to tell them what was required in order to help Tyrsias regain his health. Relinth himself would also need treatment, and he was in the right place to get the help*
" a--ah? "
*There were far more robots than Relinth truly realized, all trained on him just in case he did anything. No, Nana wasn't just any resident, but neither was anyone else really. The majority were robots, meant to fight, patrol, fix, clean and perform other tasks required to keep the Citadel running.The rest of the residence in the Citadel were family, generals and a variety of other unmentioned robots*

Relinth would pointed to the robots and chuckled slightly. He thought it was obvious with all the metal protectors about her that she simply couldn't be just another person who called this home. Then again he had little knowledge of anyone who lived there.
"No need to be sorry milady, I just noticed you seem a bit anxious. I suppose I didn't meet you on the best of terms. Also the robotic army here has been watching me like a hawk. I've counted dozens of robots in the distance with weapons trained on me on our way over here. Normally I'd enjoy a captive audience... but I don't think it has anything to do with me. I suppose I'm just curious about you is all Miss Nana. To be honest with you, you aren't at all what I expected to find here."
He'd move around the table so Nana was across the table from him. He put on hand on Tyr's forehead and looked down at him slowly and closely examining the vampire's wounds while he waited for her to respond to him.

*If Relinth tried, he could probably sense about two-dozen different living creatures throughout the Citadel in various states of transition. It would make sense that the lord of the Citadel would want to keep those living there, safe and sound. Had Relinth thought about it in this way, it may make sense as to why so many robots were watching him*
" N-no, it's... not that. I just... I'm not used to talking. Ah? The army? ...oh! Uh-- y-yes I guess they are. Curious..? Oh... I'm-- sorry? "
*It wasn't that Nana was anxious, she just didn't know Relinth and talking to strangers made her stutter. If she appeared anxious, it was circumstance. Finally she would look back up to Relinth across the table from her*
" S-so... what do you need to help him? "

Relinth continued to look over Tyr for a moment. He outstretched the vampires wings which were remarkably intact compared to the rest of his body. He began to trace out the small runic patterns that were etched into the wings.
"Hmm... well it seems the Vampire did put some of my old teachings to use after all. Well we're going to need some human blood. Or replicated blood. I can aid his regeneration with an infusion of my own unholy energies to replenish whatever stocks he's using up to regenerate and well we need his coffin. I don't fully understand it but something about it helps them heal far faster."
He would slowly and gently spread Tyr out slowly bandaging whatever wounds he felt were in the worst shape. Only after another minute or two of working on the vampire would he look back up to Nana.
"See I expected to run into a stronghold full of warriors with short tempers and sharp weapons not a abandoned city with a pristine tower in its middle and a genuine lady to greet me. Also quit saying sorry to me. This is your home Nana you have nothing to be sorry for. Yes curious, I'm just curious about you. The only other person close to Mastema I've met was Thanatos, he's a fine young man."
