Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dionysus had said nothing as they walked, just nodding his head listlessly when she gave him directions. He wasn't even looking at the girl as she trailed behind him. Dionysus was tired. It felt like the event's of earlier that night had happened hours ago, when in reality it it was only minutes. The top of his fuku, hung loose on him. The usual rope bow that normally was wrapped around his middle, gone. Either case aside back at the warehouse, or still wrapped around Biela. It left the cream colored fabric looking like the child was wearing an oversized tank top that hung off one shoulder. Finally, after what felt like ages, he spoke.

"Aludra." He said, using her name for the first time that night instead of Red. "I'm sorry if I offended you with my comment earlier. I was trying to make sure the only other chibi there had someone to work with." He mumbled, remembering the way she frowned at him earlier for it. "I've got two final things for you. I'm going to drop you off a few houses short of your home. I don't wanna know what it looks like. It's not you alright? Just trust me on it. And second.. I'm going to ask you to not power down... Or atleast if you do.. Just... Stay behind me? I made it a point, or atleast tried to, to not learn the civilian names to people out here." The incident with Biela only reminded him that he was right to do so. "I didn't know anyone's names. Not even Persephone's. And I don't want too... Again, It's.. not you so.." His words died off into a shrug. He could talk all he want, but only Aludra could decide if she listened to him or not.

"I wasn't much better anyway... You did keep that taller blonde off my back though. So... Thank you." Dionysus shrugged again. "I don't know. And it doesn't look like anyone else has a clue either. As for me, I'm swearing off teams." He waved a hand dismissively at the thought. "You however, are free to find the other's and keep working with them if you want. I just.. can't." It had always been him and Persephone. Without her, Dionysus wasn't sure how much he could accomplish.

"I'm not giving up.. I just don't want to work with another group." He shrugged idly, glaring at the ground. Maybe if the group had been smaller. Maybe that asshat Natron would have just passed on by, thinking they weren't worth the time. He sighed quietly. Though now that he thought about it.. He could see where getting together as civilian's would have been smart too.. But that was a risk he didn't want to take. "I don't know..." If he hadn't been so out of it, he would have chased her down, seen where she'd gone. "I want to find her though... I don't know how, but I wanna try."

"No offense to you... But I'd prefer it if you don't." Dionysus would prefer not to see any harm come to the girl. "You did fine.. I just ran around like chicken with my head cut off." He was surprised though, it looked as though a number of the agents that had shown up avoided the two of them like the plague. Well.. Except Bischofite and that twit who thought she was a bad a**...

"...I know the one that kicked in the door."

"That look is going to end in trouble. Believe me. If anyone knows that look, it's me." Dionysus replied flatly, though he found he couldn't quite keep the corner of his mouth from twitching upwards. "The idiot who kicked in the door was Natron. Stay away from him. Even if he says he just wants to talk. It's a bold faced lie." The blonde spat with a growl. As for the one with the spear... Dionysus shook his head to get the image out of his head again. "No."

Dionysus sighed for the upteenth time that night. "Someone will stop her. But what good are we right now Aludra. We're the weak link." He know it probably hurt the girl to hear but it was the truth. Neither her, nor Dionysus could do a single thing to stop her. At least, not on their own, and certainly not as they were now. "We'll figure something out Aludra..." He wasn't sure what, but they'd figure something out. "Just..." Another sigh as the young teen looked at her. "If you go out looking for her or anything of that sort... Just don't go alone alright?"

'Promises were just empty words used to make people feel better..' He thought miserably. "I'd still prefer it if you didn't go, but I suppose there's no way you'll actually listen huh?" The blonde sighed. He would have run his hand through his hair if it weren't for the crappy head gear he wore... "How much farther."
