Raeven looked up at Ishigo as she sat in the back of the shuttle. She was watching him closely in case he needed any help, ready to cover for him at any sign of weakness. She was worried for him. He was strong, but the moment of weakness she had seen in him earlier made her realize that he hid many things about himself from those around him. She replayed the moment that they had locked their gazes over and over in her mind, wanting to feel that strong connection with him always. She knew the connection wouldn't show as much as it had then, but she also knew that it would always be there. The loss of their third member in the trio made their own friendship deeper. They would be inseparable. Perhaps even undefeated. She smiled at the thought. [i][b]Ish and Rae, the dynamic duo. What an intriguing thought,[/i][/b] thought Eremiel, breaking his month long silence. [i][b]At least my powers aren't going to waste.[/i][/b] Raeven inwardly rolled her eyes. [i]I wouldn't want to tarnish your reputation.[/i]

Arianna sat in the chair near the front of the shuttle, gazing out of the window at the scenery below. The thoughts of the passengers filled her mind, leaving her in a daze as she heard their doubts and hopes for the new Leginia. The flickered image of her father passed through her mind, catching her attention, making her wonder if her own thoughts were getting in the way. She looked up at the group and quickly honed in on the thoughts, blinking when her eyes landed on Blake. Her face fell from a blank expression into a shocked, confused one. For once in her life she didn't have a single thought of her own, playing Blake's thoughts over and over in her mind to try and figure out what the meaning of them were. [i][b]Arianna, I don't like this,[/i][/b] Castiel's gruff voice rumbled. [i][b]Why would he wait until now to reveal this information? Why do it this way?[/i][/b] Arianna didn't respond, watching Blake closely as her brows furrowed slightly. [i]What is he getting at?[/i] She asked, completely distracted by her own questions to answer Castiel's. [i]I'm going to follow him. Anything that concerns my father concerns me.[/i] Castiel shifted uncomfortably in the back of her mind. He didn't like this situation at all. With this new knowledge, he felt a sinister feeling from Blake. He could only hope that Arianna felt it, too. Arianna sat back in her seat and turned her head to look out the window. She watched Blake from the corner of her eyes. She would be cautious from this point forward.
