He seemed to be focused on the task at hand, as usual. [color=fff200]Hmm..I should probably ask to take the "Bing Bong" sword off his hands if he doesn't know how to use it.[/color] He began to open his mouth to state his observation when Brutus asserted his own, turning after the words and approaching a nearby fire escape. The other boy lept up to the hanging structure, and pulled himself up, soon entering the building through a shattered window of the third floor. [color=fff200]His power has magnificent potential[/color], he thought. [color=fff200]I respect him for being able to control such a violent element with only his body.[/color] He himself approached the area under the fire escape, and after clasping his hands together, the circle on his left palm began to glow black. He placed his hands on the ground, and the earth under him began to rise as it pushed itself to elevate him to the desired 3rd floor level. Aram stepped off of the earthen pillar, allowing it to fall back to its original resting place. He stepped through the window after Brutus, [color=fff200]I think i'll let him lead this[/color], he thought. Entering the room, he saw two small, charred bodies, and looked away from the gruesome scene. [color=fff200]Never was much for gorr.[/color] he thought. He tried to ignore them, and walked towards the hall where he saw Brutus standing. "[color=fff200]Hey Brutus, if you like I can take that sword off ya. I'm pretty well versed in the applications of such weaponry.[/color]" He took a step into the hall with him, examining his surroundings. [color=fff200]This place really is old[/color], he thought. [color=fff200]Even older than what it looks from the outside.[/color] He studied the integrity of the building. There were aged, rotting objects scattered across all parts of the structure. Paintings, tables, chairs, walls themselves.. all decrepit and weary. While he could put some of the objects in this house to great use with his Alchemy, using the building itself was out of the question. He didn't want to risk collapsing the building in on itself, so messing with its integrity is a big [i]nono[/i].
