Garnet blinked at Itzal's over exertion of formalities. She found herself breaking into a giggle, Monica was sitting there in the training room with them. She could not help but be amused. "Worry not on what you address me as. Just like anyone else, I am but a person regardless of any burden I hold, so no need to over extend yourself to my behest and behalf." Garnet gave a proper bow with his head, leaning forward, he hands clasped together. "In simpler term; no, do not worry about speaking out of place, just look where we are." She straightened up with a gentle smile, pointing about the room. It was a quite dull room next to the rest of the ship, but it was there for the purpose of training. "Everything will be fine." Cassius sat by Hitori, amused by his mannerisms as he always was. Sadly, he could see the worry he had for what may have been a omen. Cassius could feel his spirit somewhat shaken, to which Cassius placed a single kiss on Hitori's forehead. "I might not be the most fortunate person, but everything will be alright as long as we are willing and able to work together. But... Get ready for battle." Cassius warned him before placing his choker back on fully. He then spoke up. "Hmm... I think I may give this to Karn... As a peace offering... And to her condition. She will not survive long without it..." Cassius thought aloud. He pet Hitori's head one last time, he truly did love his rather close friend. He then strolled past Ritsu briefly. "That old trick again...? No preservatives can preserve that... I think he is just hiding that jar because he knows it is a spoiled... sour batch of Pineapple slices... That has no business being on Pizza..." Cassius chuckled. "Get ready for battle. I'm going to tell Baku." Cassius turned forward before strolling to the Bridge. Baku was listening to some form of lively music from the Aether Network. Cassius was honestly just baffled he knew how to use it. "Not to... interrupt you. But you should pull down slightly to get a few more minutes before we are attacked. Premonition and all." Cassius said flatly. Baku took a swig from a flask and let out a Hardy sigh, Monica soon entering the room. "He did say so in the training room... But... I'm really not sure what to think of, he's been a help thus far." Monica tried to add. "Not questionin' his use, or his loyalty, but there are times I prefer a stray fight." Baku chuckled. "That would not be advisable, you're a good pilot, and I think we can all agree to keep it that way." Cassius chuckled. "Aye... Aye." Baku grinned before shifting altitude. "Right, I'm going to prepare for battle." Cassius stated. "Ya know, you can stick to just one outfit and not have a whole... Plethora of them." Baku chided rather playfully. "I have my reasons you'll soon understand." Cassius spoke, his voice dying down as he walked to his room. Baku shook his head. "Boy is a damn good actor..." "It is as you say... I know who he is now that I saw how he is... That is Xanat." Monica stated. "How'd he get that name...?" Baku wondered aloud. "Needless to say... He is helping us... Just don't be surprised if he sprouts Dracovian." Monica chuckled. "Dracovian wings... Like a Dragon or Drake...? Look, I'm not about to ask about the lad too much right now... Make him some of thar elemental explosions or whatever you call them..." Baku was referring to bomb, but his head was clearly muddled at the moment. [i]"Why two identities? Did two just get mixed...? Eeehh... He is Cas as far as I care."[/i] Cassius went to the top of the ship wearing a rather interesting sort of armor. He had a nice face guard that was akin to what looked like a grating; slash attacks were rendered ineffective on his head. But he looked different as he held his necklace, which seemed more like a choker. His arms and legs were fully covered in plating, but where any appendage bent, was a blue dark blue metal to contrast with the ebony mail around. There was a form of half skirt on his left leg, it was a dark fabric with a Silver moon in it. He carried a Lance in his right hand, with a metallic shield depicting the moon. "We are about to be invaded." Cassius stated... But there was something the two girls could see easily. He had Dragon wings sprouted out from his back... Even the armor had special openings just for them. Then there was his ears... He had them of a bat. "But before that happens... I want to give you this as an apology." Cassius placed his choker in Karn's hand. "The properties in it contain Anubis... He is bound to the gem... As well as some form of ward to help with your... condition. It won't fully prevent it... But like any medication... it can stall it..." It was clear he had some form of insight, such as part of his blood.
