[b]“So, I guess it was just me seeing that you were in pain every time you used your powers.”[/b] Jaakuna didn’t want to come off as a dick. No, that wasn’t even his intentioned. He wanted to open up her eyes to the grim truth that her powers were starting to spiral out of control, but of course like the stubborn little minx that Jaakuna knew her to be, she was snapping back at him. Jaakuna took it all in in silent suffering. Though, when she brought up the fact that she had always been alone, a nerve seemed to be touched as Jaakuna felt a slight tick in his neck in response to that. [b]“That’s the thing, you’re not alone anymore, Emiri.”[/b] Jaakuna said as Emiri had thusly removed Jaakuna’s grip from her hands. [b]“You have me, Wesley, Grant, Savayna, and Nadeline. You also have Prince Lorenzo and Lady Karolina, my father and Vincent. Hell, your own parents, Lady Justine and Lord Andre. Everyone, whether they voice it verbally or through their subtle actions, they’re all worried about you. “[/b] Jaakuna said trying yet again to get it through her thick skull. [b]“I know you can take care of yourself, but you don’t have to.”[/b] Jaakuna said, As Jaakuna was going to state what he did in regards to Zodiark, the Aircab had touched ground right in front of the Aerodome. That’s when Jaakuna and Emiri got off, paid the cabby, and went to the Ifrit. Jaakuna could feel Emiri’s death-piercing glare in the back of his head. He knew she wasn’t happy that he had yet to tell her what exactly he did, but he was thankful for the fact that the aircab touched ground when it did. It gave both him time to think of how he was going to word it without saying the wrong thing and it gave her time to process what he had told her and perhaps actually get through that stubborn-ass skull of hers. The minutes would pass and Jaakuna and Emiri were in the Ifrit, going straight to his room. Though, not like they needed the privacy. They had the freaking airship to themselves at the current moment, but it was what it was. ----- As Wesley processed all the information that Hashmaal gave him, he almost didn’t hear his fiancé call out to him in a worried tone. He shook his head and snapped out of whatever groove he wasn’t in. He looked to her, and smiled. [b]“I don’t know.” [/b]He said placing his right thumb and bit down against it lightly. [b]“I don’t know how to explain it, but Hashmaal contact me.” [/b]Wesley said looking down at The Sword of Order. [b]“He told me that he knew of the events that have happened in regards to Zodiark.” [/b]Wesley said as he recalled the rest. [b]“He also told me that his two friends — which I’m assuming are the two remaining espers — know of it too. He branded me with The Lion Seal.”[/b] Wesley said as he slid his right sleeve up slightly and an orangish-brown symbol flashed. [b]“He said it belonged to another, but they couldn’t tap into it. He called this Katana the Sword of Order, the sword that my ancestor, King Raithwall, used to save Ivalice when the Galtean Alliance was formed.” [/b]Wesley said as he still could hardly believe all of which he had just experienced. ----- As he stayed in his bowed position, Shion would tell Michel to follow Meli and by result, follow the Ice General. Michel nodded and faded away as his body zipped through the air. Francis was surprised for sure. He looked at Shion as she handled her business. It definitely gave him slight goosebumps all over his body. [b]“You run a tight ship.”[/b] He commented. He was more shocked at how obedient Michel was. He remembered when Michel was reaching his first years as a teenager and he was so rebellious. It was just a little hard for Francis to believe that his son was that obedient. [b]“Ya know, Michel’s mother — may the gods rest her soul —and I couldn’t even get that boy to clean his room, let alone follow orders so faithfully.”[/b] He said as he was pretty much musing aloud. He would then look to Shion. [b]“I think I’m falling for you even more now.”[/b] He said, still staring into her eyes. ----- As Michel followed the orders given by Shion, he made his way through the rooftops of Archades, following the specific scent that Meli gave off. It wasn’t that he had a very well-enhanced sense of smell, Michel could sense auras of people all around him. He had this ability for as long as he could remember and tracking people was his specialty. As for Meli, she had a grayish-black aura about her. It only took him a few minutes to catch up to her and appear beside her. [b]“You know, you really should try and mask your aura more often.”[/b] He said as he hopped the buildings beside her. ----- After she had left, Savayna couldn’t let herself think back on why Francis was in cahoots with that Meli bitch and Michel. No, she just couldn’t let that takeover her mind. She had to focus on finding the others. Savayna did remember telling the others to go to Roman, so perhaps first she should head to The Emperor’s Building and work her way from there. As Savayna would make her way through the air(she was gliding thanks to her magical ice powers), she would do exactly what she mentally told herself not to do which was think about Francis and the blue-haired chick. She remembered seeing her in a dress and she came with Francis. [b]“Were they…on a date?”[/b] She would ask herself.
