Fifty miles away from the nearest civilization there stands a compound. It's design is covert, barely noticeable from the sky. Two large dark hangars barely break through the top of the trees. A vast underground complex comprises most of Eden's space. this is where Neko houses his successful experimental soldiers and equipment, and also acts as a base of operations. He is rarely seen here, leaving management of it to his Generals.

Neko had recently transferred Ally to a holding cell in Eden's walls. It was much better than her previous accommodations. It was more of a garden than a cell. It was simulated open air, with a rock outcropping giving way to a small waterfall into a koi pond. there were several gazebos and trees around, and a futon to sleep on, under one of the pavilions. it was definitely a peaceful and serene place.
Neko was absent for a few weeks, to let Ally adjust. He opened the door and stepped inside, his white clothing and armor glistening in the artificial sunlight.

Sitting at the pond, curled up next to a small bush, Ally remained silent. She had been alone for a while here, and had been quite lonely. Sliding backwards for a moment when she heard a movement, she growled angrily. Seeing Neko, she was pissed he had locked her in here for so long. Although it was nice in here, she didn't like being trapped , or alone...Sending her hand into the pond and grasping a koi in her hand she began to squeeze the life out of it, but dropped it back in before it died, letting it swim away quickly to the bottom to avoid her grasp. She said nothing to him, just glared.....intently watching his every move.

Neko removes his armor and cloak, setting it on the ground near a tree before walking over to Ally
"You didn't kill it. Very good. but I moved you here to relax a little more, not to become more violent. You were doing well a week ago. What happened?"

"I don't like being alone......it makes me angry."
Looking over to him as he approaches, she remains seated where she was, not daring to move right now. She had been on edge the last few days, if she could even remember what day it was in this place. It was hard to keep track after a few days, let alone the weeks she had been here.
feeling lost, her hands began to dig into a rock next to her, her fingers breaking right into it and beginning to crush it. She was very much on edge today, more than usual...

"Remember. Anger is a very dangerous emotion for us. I don't do this to make you angry, I do it so you can control and stop yourself before you succumb to your anger."
He sighed softly, walking over to Ally and kneeling down next to her, keeping about five feet away.
"Once you can control your emotions better, I can let you out again. I wish I didn't have to do this. you're very valuable to me, for more then just your strength, and I hate having you out of the game. What's under your skin today? you're different than you should be."

"you leave a person to think long enough, they begin thinking of everything in there lives, from good to bad. I know it is a dangerous emotion, I've seen what it has done already. I almost attacked you because of it. "
Moving over to Neko slowly , she needed the opposite feeling from what she had been coping with, of lonliness and anger, hoping she could get it to balance out. Smelling his scent, after such a long time , she grabbed onto him slowly and rested her head against him. Before long she closed her eyes, and had relaxed. Wether it was him that calmed her down, or just getting the opposite of what had been bothering her was unsure, but it faded quickly when it did.

"I know. But you have to be able to put aside that emotion even when you're faced with something horrible. Even without being like us, anger clouds your judgement, and dulls your senses, making you an easier opponent, whether or not it's even in combat."
He brought an arm on her shoulder and squeezed tightly as he shifted to sit down.
"Do you understand yet? You're not the only one under the stress you've had these past months. It's not easy for me, either."

Pouting at that comment, she remains where she is and curls up against him quickly when he sits down, just having missed him as well now. She was easily able to control herself enough with her feelings towards him, unless they were doing anything, then her body responded differently. Anger, which she tende to have a lot of, tortured her and made her struggle to hold control.
"I know Neko, I know.....I understand, and I am trying, I just ...."
Stopping there, and holding back before she couldn't hold onto him any longer and just enjoy it, she closes her eyes and falls silent, breathing heavily. She didn't want to be left alone again, she didn't like it.......

Neko sits silently for a moment with his eyes closed.
"I think you can control yourself in your anger well enough. Now we just need to control the emotion itself. I'll release you, but you're not ready to lead troops on your own. I'll have you stay with me until we can curb your anger, but I can't have you harming anyone, friend or enemy just yet."

"hai, sensei......."
She responds in a low tone, with a sigh. She didn't really know what he meant by leading troops, she never lead anything before, well she had , but not very well. It ended in many deaths that she was guilty for thanks to her brother. She was happy he wa out of the way, however, her issues had not ended. Once one had, another had risen that needed to be handled.
"I'm not a person to lead at all sensei, controlled or not......"

"To stand well on one's own, one must have the ability to keep others standing. I'll teach you while you're with me. there will be times when I need you to handle things for me, and I won't be able to hold you up. I'll help you to stand on your own."
Neko shifted to stand back up, ready to leave.
"What can I get for you before you leave here? Your clothes aren't exactly the best quality, and I won't have you outside in this conflict without a weapon."

"Alright. I understand."
Getting up, she began to pace around the pond, but then stopped.
"I would like my weapons you took from me when we came in here back, and clothing...it keeps getting ruined from changing back and forth. I am so used to wearing tight well fittingclothing, then oh s**t not again........half naked..."

"Alright then. Wait here a bit longer."
Neko left the garden, taking his armor with him. After about twenty minutes, he came back with a small assortment of weapons and scrolls for her, along with a loose dark grey Yukata with a silver floral inlay.
"If you don't like it, you can get something else when we leave."

Sitting back down at the pond she watched the fish swim by and stuck her hand in slowly, humming gently. The fish she had injured returned closer, and this time brushed along her hand. Closing her eyes she took a deep breath. Seeing him return, she looked at him with a curious expression. Where was the sword he had let her choose that had bound itelf to her? Was he still afraid of her using it right now, that it was too dangerous...?
"It is great Neko, thank you. "
Smiling, something he hadn't seen in a long time from her, spread across her face. He had seen her undressed before, so she changed before him without a care. Situating herself and then tying her long hair back, she looked different in a way, but ther personality that Neko was afraid she would lose through this still shined through when it could.
