Ares fluttered out of the portal that lead to Em's house, stumbling forward in the air as she grew a little dizzy for a moment. A break was in order, the black and blue feien gliding down toward the ground to rest. Once safely there, her delicate hands rubbed gently at her temples as she blinked numerous times, her wings folding down over her shoulders as she tried to focus. Today wasn't supposed to be like this... Today should have been normal, just like any other day, and she would have been able to seek out Julius without any difficulty. However, things didn't work out that way.
The morning had been the easy part; waking up and doing her usual meditation routine before noon. It was waking up the second time that had made things more difficult. Sometime while meditating, the time feien had passed out, and for about five hours she seemed to be asleep, not remembering anything of it. Raylan and Tahki had finally managed to wake her up, Merrimack too frightened to stay by her side. Ares had spent what seemed to her like a day wondering if there were an answer for any of the happenings as of late, and decided to come here to get questions answered. About how much a human bond did affect a feien, and perhaps finally getting answers to her questions of the ancients.
Was it sad that, even in her weak state of mind, she still sought out knowledge? To her, not in the least.
Taking in a deep breath and releasing it slowly, the short feien finally stepped onward, placing her hands calmly by her sides. She would get through this, and all would be well, she thought to herself. Lifting her wings off of her shoulders, Ares flitted into the air, gliding over the steps and glancing around the porch for a moment. It had been about five months since she'd been there last, had she not? No matter. Her red eyes rested on the doorbell by the door, and, summoning up enough strength, the small feien pushed her weight against the button with her shoulder. Hopefully someone inside would know where to find Julius exactly.

A voice from within called out, "Coming!" A moment later, unseen floorboards creaked and the door handle turned. It was Emperial, bond to Corvus and Simon. She was almost presentable. Clad in a golden yellow button-up corduroy shirt with rolled sleeves and a long navy blue skirt, she peered at the visitor through her crooked glasses and brushed her tangled dark brown hair from her face. "Oh, hi, Ares. Can I help you?"

Ares looked up at Emperial for a moment, almost not recognizing the woman. Granted, she'd maybe caught a glimsp of the bond once or twice, but still...
"Yes, actually," she said softly, floating backwards a little bit to get a better look at the brown-haired woman. "By chance, do you happen to know where I might be able to find Julius? Or, if you don't know, would you know someone who might?"

"Julius? Oh, he's around somewhere." Em leaned forward and looked around the porch. "Have you tried calling his name? I can go get Corvus for you if you want." She started to retreat back into the house to do just that.

Ares almost cringed at the thought of speaking with Corvus, especially after hearing about how harshly he'd treated Tahki. Though, she DID have a question for him as well. Perhaps it could wait, since she needed to speak with Emperial again in order to go home.
"No, that's quite all right," she called, her tail flicking slightly. "I can speak with him before I leave. Thank you in the meantime, however."
Floating down to allow her feet to touch against the porch, the time feien turned to step closer to the edge of the stairs. Looking out for a moment, she folded her black and blue wings down over her shoulders, lifting a hand to sheild her three eyes from the disappearing sun. All she had to do was call for him...?
"Julius?" she attempted to call, her voice still rather soft. A part of her feared calling too loud and gaining a headache with her current state.

From the doorway, Emperial shook her head. "You have to be louder than that, like this--" and she let out a yell that was audible for several blocks-- "JUUUULIIIII!"

Ares' eyes snapped wide open and she quickly covered her ears, the voice ringing throughout her mind. Oh dear Gods... That brought on quite a headache indeed. Fortunately, it wasn't one that stuck around for too long.
"F-forgive me," she managed to say, shaking her head a little bit. "I don't think I could ever really be that loud. Had I known I needed a voice for this, I would have brought Tahki along with me."

"It really just depends on whether--"
There was a shimmer in the air between Emperial and Ares as Julius phased into view. "It is not required," he said quietly. "I did hear the first time." He was floating completely motionless in the air, hands clasped loosely before himself as if praying.
"I need to talk to you--" Emperial started again.
"Later," said Julius, drifting down towards Ares.
Emperial frowned slightly, shrugged, and retreated back inside. "You can't dodge me forever," she said as she closed the door. Julius did not answer this and landed quietly next to Ares on the porch floor.

Ares was speachless for a moment, her hands slowly dropping down from over her ears as she watched in a bit of awe, expressionless on the outside. In his stance and appearance, Julius reminded her much to be like the angels Neko had told her about when she was younger, and she began to wonder if perhaps other ancients were similar in that manor. Feien Angels...
Neko...
The time feien looked up toward the ancient feien as he landed, her tail curling up slightly as she remained mostly motionless even still. That didn't last much longer, however.
"Julius... The one who summoned Corvus," she said quietly, more to herself than anything. "It... It's an honor to be able to meet you."
Taking a small step back, Ares bowed a little bit, closing her eyes for a moment. Why did she start to think she may have been foolish to bother him with her questions now? Of all the times to feel nervous...

Julius's mouth twisted into a frown and he crossed his arms, shifting his weight onto one leg. He gave an impatient little sigh. Even without his eyes being visible, it was plain he was giving her an "is that all?" look.

Ares mentally began to kick herself. Straightening upright again, her fingers idly brushed lightly over her bracelet, her eyes fixated on the floor. Just say it, right? Just ask the questions she wanted to ask.
"I've been wanting to speak with you for quite some time now," she started, trying to figure out how to put her words together correctly. "I want to know more about the ancients. I... I guess I was hoping to find out why I seem to be a bit different than some of the others. Why I feel..."
No, you fool, she told herself, stopping herself from acting anymore foolish. Don't waste his time.
"Let me try this again." Resting her hands at her sides, Ares looked up at Julius. "My name is Ares... If it's of any importance, I'm a time feien. I've come to ask you a few questions about the ancients; things that perhaps Arturo may not have known. Please tell me... Was the council the only thing ruling the feien from before?"

"It depends," said Julius quietly, "on which feien you are referring to."

Ares had to think for a moment. Was there...something else?
"I suppose before Corvus," she explained, lifting a hand to rub at the back of her neck. "I feel like there's something missing. I can't really explain it, but I feel as if there's something else there that almost should be here as well."

Julius tilted his head to the side slightly. "You seem confused. Perhaps if you began at the beginning you would be able to sort your thoughts more precisely."
