Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ree frowned as he looked away from the mirror and answered the phone that was starting to die from lack of battery. A quick look at the number froze him for less than as second as he answered and put it to his head glancing back toward the room. "...Yes" he said blankly, his mind moving back to what was said before. "Anadii? why? What are you doing? " he frowned then blinked as he clenched his hand into a fist at Tri's reply. Think about it..Ha, it didn't seem like Tri did much thinking on it.

"She hasn't gotten better I assume ..." he sighed softly at Tri's reply. "I'm not that close to Belrad.... can he use my phone as a target to jump out of?" he muttered tiredly, not daring to tell Tri and not even sure how Anadii was going to react. "Now with less bite. What are you doing " he asked, is voice turning a bit cold as he listened to Tri talk to Anadii while he glanced around the room for Ashral.

After arriving in the room, and settling into bed, somehow she had come to phase through the bed to underneath the bed subconsciously finding that more comforting than her prior position. There, she had honestly been asleep curled up underneath the bed since then, not once waking up during her time there. If it weren't for the occasional soft mutter here and there, one might have thought she had died under there. Only really taking a sigh of air every now and again to breath, but for the most part completely still, curled up underneath.

Only when there had been voices in the room had she almost began to awaken, but not sure if it was a dream or not, she remained asleep, exhaling a light sigh once again and shifting very slightly. In all honesty, she'd likely stay asleep underneath the bed for days on end if never disturbed it seemed.

"Yes, it is my disguise." It nodded in response, looking back to Ree finally. "He did not specify much to me either. All that I know is that they are going to a place that I cannot go, there are too many Teldhet operatives there." Well, it supposed it could specify further... but something - perhaps that voice - was holding it back from expanding further on what it knew.

"My old coverings are in your backpack as well." It figured it should probably tell Ree that since he'd taken the backpack without even really looking inside of it. It wouldn't really care - but the fabric those clothes were made out of was much more breathable than its current outfit.

"Teldhet? ...where was he going? and alone?" he asked looking worried, for someone who thought he was an idiot ...this seemed almost exactly the same thing to him.

Resisting the urge to reach out and pull the hood over Anadii's head he turned away and looked to the bed and then back, looking undecisive for a moment before lowering his wings and turning to look fully at Anadii. "Did he also mention why I left or might be doing?"

There was yet more talking, always talking. Whispers and voices. She exhaled a little more forcefully as she curled up a bit more. Shogu was talking to people. He was always talking to people. She was supposed to be quiet. Not a sound. Stirring slightly, she settled after a few more moments, still being as quiet as possible in her half-asleep state. All she knew was the place she had grown up, dark and small. It felt safe. Familiar. Her eyes closed, she remembered how she'd always her other voices in the workshop, and the whispers of the swords he made. "...shogu..." she whispered in her sleep and reflexively brought up a hand slowly to cover her mouth gently. You were supposed to be quiet. If they find out, you will be killed. she nodded slowly, still not waking up as she slowly removed her hand, stirring once more before settling to remain still in her rather long sleep.

Anadii blinked, thinking... should it tell him? It supposed there wasn't much trouble in that. "He has gone with someone named "Bob." I do not know very much else about her." Well, technically it didn't know anything at all about her aside from the fact that the name wasn't one she was fond of.

Ree's explanation caused it to light up a little, eyes widening just slightly. A Malice? Ree purposely sought out a Malice? Every bit of data it had on Malices told it to stay far, far away from them if possible. Metas with Malices were dangerous and unpredictable - Teldhet didn't even bother attempting to bring them in if they could avoid it...

Mentally, it brought up Tri's phone number and sent a message: "There is a Malice here named Ashral, Ree does not know if I am safe here."

It followed his motion to the bed again, eyes narrowing just a little as it examined it... That explained the blanket...

He willingly puts you in harm's way.
Withheld information that would have kept you safe
Safer than here
Leave.

It looked back to Ree, a deeper frown than usual on its face. "This was vital information that would have effected the decision on where to send me. The purpose of sending me here was to keep me safe, and this is clearly not a safe space to be. I will seek other arrangements." It turned to look to the backpack, then back to Ree. "I will require my old coverings."

"Oh..." he heard of Bob but had not actually meet her, a former friend of Mara was all he knew. He sighed as he watched Anadii light up a bit as he explained about Ashral and assumed that was alarm considering the other times he had lit up.

There really was no logical argument to keep him here and even if he stayed with them there was always the danger Anadii would be harmed or killed. So why did he agree? because Tri had asked and Tri knew what he was doing. He could only assume that Tri thought what danger he was going into was more than Ree trying to take anadii and look for Ashral...or assumed he would stop because Anadii was there.

He was left with the decision of trying to either convince Anadii to stay, something even he thought was a bad idea , return to Tri and risk his chances or find him somewhere else to stay.

"That is true, Tri did not give me much time to talk..." he frowned and shook his head. "What other arrangements will you seek? or are you going to return to Tri even with Teldhet involvement?" not actively stopping him but not going to let him leave without some kind of plan. He didn't turn as he heard the soft shifting of sound behind them, at least not yet.

Ashral just seemed to continue to feel worse, slipping a hand into her stocking, she pulled out the paper and thought for a bit on it before sighing and putting it back. She closed her eyes and calmly, and slowly came to a stand. Ashral looked over to Ree and Anadii then shifted her eyes to the ground. "...if it's a problem... I will just go... It's fine..." she muttered softly, pulling a hand up to grab her arm for a second before forcing herself to release her arm again. Keeping her eyes averted, she kept an almost remorseful expression. "I am a danger to both of you, so I shouldn't be around anyone..." she forced herself to look at Ree, forcing a smile through the pain she felt. "Right?... I mean, I'm capable... And worse comes to worse... I'll go find Shogu... I have to eventually talk to him anyway. So.. maybe that's my cue to go find him..." she offered, taking a shaky breath as she tried to stay confident about her words. She didn't want to hurt either of them, but there was never any guarantee she wouldn't. And she wouldn't honestly realize it until it was likely far too late.
