Gavin\\
------------------

This wasn't the best situation, this hardly made any sense and yet these things would soon enough become commonplace.

The air here was arid, the dry heat had to be probably what made the setting sit out. There they were, everyone that was in that tiny little chamber, he clutched his arm. Gavin. 'Gavin...what in the...not even noesis is enough to explain that...' he thought to himself. His right arm twitched, and the darkness still swam around his right arm. It didn't flow anywhere near as freely as before, when he was forced to break his arm. The pain was still there, little motion he made was some sign he could move it, but it was unusually difficult to move.

His left arm clutch his right, he was fidgeting a bit and his legs were shaken as he leaned against the wall. The heat was something he'd have to get used to, but first things first...the boy needed to be patched up. He looked around, surrounded by complete strangers, he felt it was only right to bold enough and say something.

"Uhm...thanks...for helping me out." He said a bit timidly, he couldn't move too much and his face reflected how much of a mess he was. He let out a large sigh of extricate pain.

//Salforge [With Ryoko - Agrabah]

In a flash...more like in a fell swoop, the darkness had undertaken them all. It was like the entire factory had swam through a black out before everything within the range of the entire facility had just been...spirited away? To wake in arid air and unrelenting heat, the mercenary could already identify the world.

"Agrabah." he said, as his eyes opened, and he was still cohesively working to make sense of what happened. Ryoko had already awoken before him, so he leisurely stood back and waited as she had a conversation with the emperor relaying the situation. All he really needed to hear was "Princess of Heart" and he understood that. He thought of Darkness in Zero quietly mentioning them in his study many years ago. They still were around? The question he had directed more towards himself, he didn't flinch, but there was a tremor in his eye. The factory's core room entrapped a princess of heart...of all things.

'There is still a lot that I don't know about these people and what they do. That doesn't matter right now, the priority is loyalty to a payroll and contract.'

He shrugged off this portal business, and turned to Ryoko as she approached him. "You're gonna have to give me some more details if I am to be a more effective asset to you. So Ryoko, just who- correction, what, was that in the core room?" Salforge stood towering over her, stern, attentive, and all the while cautious.
