Wolframite had no idea what time it was, but he was tired. His mind was buzzing, his jacket and shirt, usually buttoned up to his neck, was open, and his body was covered in small bug bites that dotted his body. He felt like hell, and he wanted to sleep. It took a lot out of him just to get back to the entrance that he had to walk to, and even then, he looked ahead where open mouth of the long hallway that lead back to the Negaverse Kingdom with a sigh. Maybe he'd take another break..........for three...........or just lay down on the ground for a bit and sleep and hope no other youmas tried to bite him or one of the bigger ones stepped on him. He'd probably stick to their feet like gum. He certainly felt pulled thin.

Bouncing on the balls of her feet, she all but waited... anticipated, wondered if any other officers were going to pass by any time soon. She knew it was risky to go into the rift, and hell if she was going to ignore the warning about a corrupted senshi going in alone. She saw the looks they gave her last she went. They looked as if they wanted nothing more than to rip her face off and eat the bones and flesh below. She might be eternal, but she was no fool.
She wanted to explore the rift a little, knowing at least the youma were...less likely to attack her.
Hopefully.
Maybe?
She just wanted SOMEONE to appear. She knew her brother or Ilmenite would have come if she asked. But she had no idea what either was up to and did not want to bother them... so she just wanted. For what felt like a eternity. Maybe she should just come back another day...? That door was semi creepy looking down at her... just as she was about to turn, someone was walking out of the rift. Joy hit her eyes, she did not know who he was.... at least not from a distance. So she waited until he was closer, then she remembered a name she heard in the rift.
"Wolframite?" She questioned. Wolf...wolfram... that name was ringing a bell in her mind. Ladon...?
But before that thought process could be finished, or she ask for help into the rift... she noticed something off about him. Then it clicked.
"...Ohmygodyourhurt."

He had taken a break outside the hallway before entering and had been tempted to take on inside, but the creatures on both side, these once-humans, these moaning youma, were far more taxing than anything else. Rising up, he leaned forward, letting gravity help with his walking before he made it out to the door and pressed it, the heavy weight moving open for him and letting him into the more familiar air of the Negaverse. A little bit of the burden of being in the Rift was lifted and he was very tempted to find a hallway and just lay face down for a nap on the floor.
He wasn't sure he was happy to see someone around or just embarassed. He looked like a mess, was bitten when he was supposed to be more careful nowadays, and his shirt - DEAR LORDS! His belly and chest was showing!
Gripping his clothes, he closed the flap but didn't have it in him to go through buttoning it all up. He flt a little warm. "Uh, yes. Captain Wolframite." Being caught off guard made him want to suddenly stand up straight and salute, but not only was this girl not a superior officer that he knew of, she was a senshi. True. Her energy signature was higher than any other senshi he passed by, but he didn't know what that mean in terms of rank.
"I'm fine. Just got ...uh....bitten a few times. It's okay. I'm..." He shook his head a moment and wished there was a chair around. "...just need to sit." And since he wasn't going to find a chair any day now, he slowly sank to his knees and sat down. Much better. Now the room was spinning less.

"Thats not sitting thats crouching!" She said a moment before approaching, slowly. "What happened to you?" Peering back inside the door, she shivered once more as she remembered that hall. Oh lord, maybe this injured officer was a sign she should wait before going back to the rift. It sure as hell was a welcome distraction, and an excuse she intended to use.
"...Did the walls try to drag you in!?!?!" Oh god was it not even safe for the negaverse? She would shake a little at the thought. Bringing herself down to his level, she did not crouch though... she sat down on the crystal floor. So technically she was now shorter than him once again.
"...Do you need help Captain wolfra-....Wait." Eyes blinking, she focused a little more on the man before her. Could it be...? 'Wolf' was mentioned one time to the civilian while she was around, maybe it was a shortening of his name? "Pardon if i speak out of turn but.... Ladon?"

When she mentioned he was crouching, he then plopped his butt down on the ground to be fully sitting, feeling a bit shaky. All in all, despite the many bites, he felt more worn from nearly getting killed and the adrenaline rush of speaking with such a massive youma that could kill him than anything else. "No. It was just a youma. A youma with a lot of other youma. We're...." He lifted his hand up in a A-OK symbol before setting his hand back down to grip his jacket and shirt shut.
When she spoke his name, he quirked an eyebrow and looked back up at her. "Yeesss." He said, unsure. "Have I met you before?" As far as he knew, he didn't know any senshi outside of his uniform. "How do you know my name?"

Brilliantly green eyes lit up once it was confirmed.... and she scooted around a little closer. So it WAS him. Her friend, she would need to remember to thank zink for calling him 'wolf' that one time.
"Ladon? I mean... Wolframite.. its me. Sabine?" She looked at him, hoping he would se least see some recognition. She was the girl whom brought him the stuffed animal, took him out for ice cream...
"...Let me help you? You seem really hurt... Wait a youma did this?" Why would a youma attack Ladon? Was the rift really that unstable?

"Sabine?" The name rang a bell, but with enough things floating in his mind, fogging up recollection, he had to take a moment. It was the fact that she was such a recent name that he had to take a moment before perking up. "You're...you're a senshi?" He gasped, looking her up and down a moment. Not only that, a powerful one..........with one of the better outfits he'd ever seen on a senshi before!
Still! "I didn't.........I wouldn't think Zac would have...a mean, being related, that he'd have a senshi as a sister." He had felt that if one person was a senshi, your siblings would probably have it in their blood too. Apparently it didn't work that way, thank the Negaverse, and Zink was on their team. Well, they were all on their team apparently.
It was a big shock, but he hadn't know the full story about Zink's sister until she just magically (no pun intended) showed up to give him a plushie and wish him to get better soon. Certainly not a bad thing, but Wolframite wasn't too happy about senshi at the current moment considering what they had done to him.
Then again, she was Zink's sister, and corrupted. "Ye-Yeah. A youma did this. Actually, many, but it worked out for the best. Just...the first part of meeting her wasn't that great." He rubbed his chest a bit and wondered if he had to treat youma bug bites like normal bug bites. He hoped they didn't itch after.
"I just...have to sit here. I'm too tired to teleport." And then his expression great more weary. "...and I'm not much in a mood to go home." It was too quiet there, and he hadn't washed the sheets or Billy's pillowcase.

"I thought you knew?" The senshi got on her knee's, setting her rear end down on her ankles. This was a more comfortable position for her, she was still not taller than the man before her. "I could have sworn we told you.." Well, they had hinted at it. Maybe it flew over the boys head?
Ruffling her skirt, kind of embarrassed now, a red tint came to her face. "I realize it must not make you happy..." She remembered his wounds too. "But... may i offer some help? I recently moved into my dorm over at maggies. I do not have a roommate yet, and i have a first aid kit." She hoped the kit had what she would need. She would need to read the labels... or have Ladon tell her what each thing does. She pretty much only knew what 'band aids' did.
Plus it would be a wonder if he even accepted her offer.
"I am eternal power rank so.... if you'd like, i could take us to my dorm? We need to try and be a little quiet though. It is a all girls dorm." She could always dress him in her clothing... would he pass enough to sneak out?

"No one told me. I thought you were just a new recruit. Not a...a.." Well, what she was. Senshi in the Negaverse gave Wolframite mixed feelings. While he wished all of them dead, the second chance given to the ones that admitted they were wrong and helped fight their comrades did give them the advantage of some magic on their side. It also showed that the few who were on their side had made the right choice in supporting them and their planet instead of taking it over, meaning one less threat on the streets, but the fact remained that she was a senshi. A powerful one which made him wonder if she was just in hiding and ranked up, or if she had been strong before coming to their side. If it was the later, then who could say how many officers she had attacked and possibly killed!
He regarded her a moment, thinking hard. Would it be better to lay here and snub a girl who was on their side, offering help, and a sister to Zink? To add on this lovely dilemma, she had to offer help to bring her to a ALL GIRL'S SCHOOL!
He shivered at the recollection of his brief night at Crystal. "In your room....with girls?" Gay or not, the very idea wasn't very appealing. The last thing he wanted to do was get caught in some girl's room.....alone........by some headmistress!
"I...I should be fine...I just need to.." He rose up and when the world tilted sharply, plopped back down to sit. ".......sit." Yeah. Sitting was good. The only bad thing was recovering here in the Negaverse was rather pointless. It was taxing on the body to be here, Captain rank or not. He needed to rest outside of here, and who knew when someone would show up and offer help, or just make fun of him looking so disorganized!
"I ..guess if you want, I could stay a bit with you."

"Well... i do not have a roomate yet, so there is a spare bed you can rest on? Everyone leaves me alone because im the 'new girl'." She hadn't attempted to make friends, but they all apparently knew there was something off about her. So they left her alone, no one had tried to tease her yet either.
"Plus its summer vacation now so its not as busy as usual. A lot of the girls went home, i signed up to stay over the summer." Plus it meant she could graduall get used to dorm life and not be tossed in headfirst.
"you shouldn't move..... here." She approached a little closer, crawling a little. Setting a hand gently down on his shoulder, she nodded. Taking his words as a approval. Using her powers she teleported the duo back to her dorm room. It was not that much of a hassle to take him with her.
Landing with a cushioned thud they would find themselfs on her bed. Standing up a moment later, she powered down quickly and returned to being normal Sabine. Hair shrinking, Wolframite would find a familiar face looking down at him as she turned back to see him. "Zac told me if i needed to do this to get out of uniform asap, or risk someone sensing my Aura."
The room itself was very simple. It was symmetrical in design. Two beds, two closets, two night stands, two desks, but one shared bathroom. Simple, but effective.
Pausing, sabine added on nervously. "..I have a first aid kit?" Hell if she knew how to USE it though.

He felt the familiar tug of teleportation and soon was sitting nearly crouched down on a bed. It certainly was far more inviting than a crystal floor to sit on, and the place was much warmer, cozier, than that of the Negaverse. Despite being a Captain, there still was a bit of train in being in the Negaverse headquarters, which meant you didn't spend days there. Just pop in for a meeting or energy drop off and off you went. Anything else was done on Earth..........well, on the surface of earth. Certainly not the dark realm that the old capital of Earth was, in some dark belly that made him wonder countless times how the Earth he knew could hold such a place in it's core.
Sitting, he felt a little too foggy in the head to change quickly, but was more shocked to see a very familiar face staring back at him. "You really are a senshi." It was hard to believe when the evidence was staring right at you. It was almost sad to think she was a senshi. He'd certainly like her better if she was just a normal human and not some alien traitor. Well, not so much a traitor now that she was on their side, but still.
He was then reminded to shift, and dismissed his uniform quickly. Ladon was sitting, looking worn and certainly a little more strained that he had been. When Sabine first saw him, he had been recovering, and a week or so after, he had been looking better. New haircut, color in his face, and pretty much healed. Even his hand was no longer bandaged now. Now he looked hollow. His eyes were starting to get dark bags, his complexion was more pale and lacking any of that healthy glow that came from taking lots of walks in the sun, and there were red welts all up his arm from where the youma bugs had bitten him. He wore nothing more than sneakers, a t-shirt, and shorts, but looked more tired than he did when he was in uniform.
"I should be okay. I think. Maybe some bandages." He said, looking down at his arm and frowning. The little buggers had really had a field day nipping him. He had to wonder how far they would have gone...or if they would have just killed him.
His eyes traveled to look at Lyra's pillow and the mattress under him. It looked so soft, and his head was heavy.

"Bandages? Like....bandaids?" That was when she went into the bathroom, and pulled out a medium sized white kit that was given to her. Something zac said to use in case she cut herself. So far she used it only for those scraped knee's she acquired during the battle with chaonis. All it needed then was a few band aids, she read the label to learn that much.
Bringing the case over she gave Ladon a quick once over. She would not admit it, but she calmed down considerably since he was now back in civilian gear. This was the face she knew, the man she had gotten ice cream with once. She remembered him, and thought him a friend. Wolframite was still him, and yet he was not. They had the same face, something she could not see until now, but like herself it was a new identity. They could do things in powered form they could not in civilian. They were in a magical war, hiding in the darkness biding their time until a speck of light some wander too close. They knew this, and yet there was comfort sometimes in hiding in their civilian face. There was less weight on your shoulders then.
Well, this was at least something Sabine had noticed.
"I notice your looking a lot better....minus these new little bites." His well being had not gone over her head, she leaned in a little to look. "Here..." She offered him the first aid kit, eying it expectantly. "I dont know how to use most of that stuff in there or ide offer help..."

Ladon rested his back against the wall and closed his eyes a moment while she went to get the First Aid kit, and took a moment to breathe. So much had happened, and he felt more overwhelmed than ever. Worse when he was already dealing with too much in his life. It didn't help that he wasn't sleeping well, but how could he with such a empty space in his bed. His hand idly went up to touched the chain about his neck, the ring at the end hidden under his shirt. He was incredibly stupid to even want to wear it. It was a lie after all, and he even threw it against the wall several times and yelled at it.
Maybe he liked living in a make-believe Wonderland.
You really are desperate.
He reached up to and pulled the chain off, stuffing it and the ring at it's end into his pocket. He'd probably do this same action over and over and over again.
When Sabine returned, he jerked to attention and watched as she placed the kit beside him. "Thanks. You should really learn First Aid. You tend to get hurt a lot on our side." Coming from Wolframite, that meant something.
He looked for the bandaids and was surprised to see two boxes. One was Hello Kitty, but showed a little black cat named Choco on it (from what Ladon read on the label), and the other was My Little Pony. The pink of the later box made him put it back, but the little kitten on the other box didn't repulse him as much as most boys probably would have.
He opened it and started to peel the first one from it's wrapper, and worked on placing one on one of the bites. He'd......just leave the ones on his chest and stomach alone. Taking off his shirt with Sabine around would be weird.
"I healed up already. From the old injuries. My hand bandages already came off." To which he showed his hand. "....lost some feeling in them though, but better than a finger...." His eyes unfocused a moment. He already lost something more important.

"Maybe you could teach me?" Was her soft reply to his question about first aid. It had never really come up before, though she grasped the basic concept. She couldnt help it, she smiled at the chocie of band aids. He liked choco cat hmm?
Reaching out she grasped a few of the band aids, and moved to offer help as much as she could with fumbling fingers. After she peeled off a wrapper she would set the scraps in a slowly growing pile on the bed.
"Are you ok Ladon?" She couldnt help it, her eyes were on his. She waved a hand infront of his face. She saw it out of the corner of her eye at first, but it made her pause halfway to putting another band-aid on. "Did you lose a lot of....feeling in your hand? Im guessing that means touch is limited.... is everything else ok though you seem so sad. More so then some feeling."
She pondered for a moment. Sabine remembered back to Ever.... remembered what he would do when he was sad or something. Even when he wasn't sad. That gave her an idea...maybe.

[His eyes moved up as she waved in front of him, causing him to realize how much he had zoned out, letting his mind wander as he went through bandaid to bandaid on autopilot. Her concern was one that many expressed when seeing him, and while it was sweet, it was not attention he wanted. Then again, he could have brought it on himself, but he told himself he wasn't trying to get any attention.
"I'm just going through a lot recently. It's a bit...overwhelming. I'm still adjusting from it all." He still wasn't like how he used to be. "My hand is only numb in a few fingers. I can't really feel anything in them, but that's all. I'm not all-together numb." He gave a sad smile at the thought. It would be nice not to feel once in a while. Working hard helped.
"I guess I am sad. I've seen a lot and I don't think I've learned a lot. Can you believe I've only been in the Negaverse for a little over a year? And yet...after all I've seen....all that's happened....it seems like I've been an officer all my life." He didn't have anything else to live for. He gave up friends, family, and school for the one purpose of serving Earth.
Maybe it was better that Billy left him. It was another distraction, but unlike the other things that he choose to give up, he felt that he lost Billy instead of just deciding to leave. Maybe I never had him at all.
His expression turned grim again, but he remembered that Sabine was looking. "These are very cute bandaids." He said, touching his arm that was now covered in smiling, cute kittens, and trying to move away from these thoughts. "..I'll teach you first aid soon. It's good to have incase bad things happen. You can use it on yourself or others. I think everyone should know it."
