"[color=deepskyblue]Considering she was right about everything else, I have little reason to doubt it,[/color]" Shion would immediately dismiss his statement. "[color=deepskyblue]Kyli was not only a talented sorceress, she also possessed the ability to see into the future. Her vision consisted of he who walks with the Gigas--the Transcendant. A man of unbelievable stubborness, rudeness, backwards logic, frustratingly naive ideals--and you fit the description to the tee,[/color]" She stated, ticking off a few traits she had recalled, likely wanting to rustle Jaakuna a bit.

Long story wasn't even scratching the surface. As much as Grant would have loved to sit down and get a proper explanation, he knew Lorenzo's concerns were...more pressing. Well, not pressing, more like he wasn't budging. Like at all. Keiran seemed slightly miffed at both Wesley and Nadeline's rebuttal, placing his hands on the back of his head. Letting out a sigh, Grant decided that it was best to leave the three--that is, Wesley, Nadeline, and Lorenzo--to speak. He would lightly pull on Savayna's arm, as if trying to get her to follow him, though he wasn't entirely sure if she would catch the hint.

Either way, he would take Keiran by his shirt, giving him a small payback as he dragged him away from Nadeline and Wesley. "[color=gray]What is it with you Rozarrian's unable to just communicate?! I can walk![/color]" Keiran hollered, though he seemed to catch himself once he realized Grant was the one pulling him. "[color=gray]Oh, right, the whole 'not being able to talk' thing. I forgot. I mean, if you want, I'll stick around you and be your mouthpiece. 'Cause we're buddies, right?[/color]" Keiran cheerfully told him as he could quickly hook his arm with Grant's, much to the prince's displeasure.

Nadeline watched Grant take Keiran away, and was grateful, though she now had to deal with the headache that was her father. Crossing her arms, she turned towards her father, an annoyed look on her face. "[color=coral]Don't make this more difficult than it has to be, please,[/color]" She told him, shaking her head. "[color=coral]This morning has been one of the worst I've experienced--and if you could make this as smooth as possible, I would greatly appreciate it.[/color]"

Lorenzo scowled childishly, though he couldn't help but glare at Wesley. "[color=darkorange]I [i]was[/i] going to come here and give you a piece of my mind, but I guess first thing's first--are you absolutely sure that you're pregnant?[/color]" He asked, actually surprising Nadeline with a reasonable question. "[color=darkorange]I'm going to put the desire to strangle Wesley for deflowering you--FOR NOW--and just ask if you're positive. Or at least, if you have a way of knowing sooner rather than later.[/color]"

Admittedly, Keiran put the idea in her head, and she hadn't really been able to discourage it, but for once, Lorenzo had a valid point. "[color=coral]I don't know. I suppose I'll know in a few weeks' time,[/color]" She muttered, shifting her weight from one heel to the other. "[color=coral]Honestly, I can't say I entirely understand why you're so upset. You realize our plans for marriage haven't changed, right? If we...shot the gun a bit earlier than usual, then is there really any harm?[/color]"

"[color=darkorange]Of course there is,[/color]" Lorenzo said, though the fact that he was actually serious was really starting to worry her. "[color=darkorange]You're forgetting, if you really are pregnant, I can't let you run off and fight, you realize that, right? I can't in good conscience put yourself in danger like that.[/color]"

The thought hadn't quite crossed her mind. "[color=coral]Regardless, I will [i]not[/i] sit and wait for Wesley to come home.[/color]" She informed him.

"[color=darkorange]As your father, I can't allow that,[/color]" He told her bluntly. "[color=darkorange]You're constantly risking your life--once it's not only yours, things change, Nadeline.[/color]" 

"[color=coral]I know that! But if something happens to Wesley and I wasn't there for him, I'd never be able to forgive myself![/color]" She responded in kind, completely stubborn on her own point.

Emiri had found an empty room not too far from where her original room was. She closed the door behind her, though once she was behind closed doors, she let out a gasp, dropping down to her knees. A surge of pain nearly caused her to scream out, but she forced herself to hold it in. She could feel the room spinning again--she knew her fever was likely returning with every intention of killing her. Forcing herself to stand, she made her way to the bed, dropping herself onto it. She clutched her chest, in pain, though she couldn't help but wonder what the hell was going on. The sensation was familiar, so it didn't make her uneasy, but something was wrong. It wasn't supposed to be like this, was it?

After a moment, the pain subsided, leaving Emiri gasping for air. As soon as she steadied her breathing, she would sit up, a hand to her head. For a moment, she thought she heard a man laugh. She looked around, confused. She strained herself to listen, but it seemed to have vanished. Great, she was finally going crazy. She stared down at her hands, trying to make sense of things. Inhaling slowly, she closed her eyes.

"[color=pink]Chaos...can you hear me?[/color]" She asked, trying to reach out to her esper. "[color=pink]If you have any idea what's happening, I'd appreciate an explanation. Anything. Even if it's just a vague idea.[/color]"

[i][color=darkgreen]The Word is calling to you. However...you seem to be struggling to hear it.[/color][/i] He would answer her mentally. [i][color=darkgreen]Or rather...something is trying to stop you.[/color][/i]

Something? Or someone? Emiri mentally cursed, throwing her head back and letting herself fall onto the bed. "[color=pink]It's Keiran,[/color]" She muttered. "[color=pink]Damn it...how do I get rid of him?[/color]"

[i][color=darkgreen]I'm certain the viera is conducting some sort of plan for it. The question is, will she make it in time?[/color][/i]

"[color=pink]In time for what?[/color]" Emiri asked, alarmed by his statement.

[i][color=darkgreen]Either she returns, and you'll unlock your true potential...or he once again pulls the strings.[/color][/i]

What?! Emiri felt her heart beating fiercely against her chest, though another pain would strike her, momentarily rattling her thoughts. No, it made sense. If she did reach her full power, maybe she could get rid of him herself. But he knew, and he was stopping her. Crap, was she just going to have to hope that Aloa would return to her? [i][color=pink]And if she doesn't...so this is what he was planning.[/color][/i] She guessed, her hand forming a fist. [i][color=pink]Figures why he was so chummy. Even now he's slowly working his magicks...there has to be something I can do.[/color][/i] She tried to think, although she would remember Jaakuna, sitting up quickly. As she did, she made herself dizzy. [i][color=pink]Well...I'm sure he's still talking to Shion. A few minutes won't do anything...[/color][/i] She stifled a yawn, making herself comfortable and closing her eyes.
