[b][i]Palace of the Blachrenae, Renovation[/i][/b]

Tocsax smiled at Felix's attempt to lighten the mood, while telling Agni, "No, I'm not hurt, but thank you for your concern." His lips were slightly pursed as he continued, "I'll give you, your companion, and our newcomer boy the needed exposition on the way to the Gummi Ship."

He glimpsed Asher's look of 'utter disappointment and disgust', and clenched his left fist in response as the 'thief' trailed off. There can be no explanation that person would accept, at least not verbally. Asher Rain was someone who accepted only actions - It was a shame that Tocsax felt that he didn't have the [i]time[/i] to regain the Keyblader's respect. He didn't dislike Asher, but he needed the time that would be spent regaining his respect to investigate Leo's activities, among other things.

As Tocsax got up, Vic, Georgia, and Amuro might feel the Nobody's own regrown emotions - Disgust, self-hate, and the feeling of time wasted. He began walking to the hangar, where Felix was busy preparing the brightly colored Gummi Ship, [i]Anastasios[/i]. Then upon sensing the opening of another Corridor of Darkness in the Palace itself, the young-looking Keyblader opened up his own portal and traveled to where Asher lay unconcious. Tocsax, still buffed by Strengthra, lifted up the 'thief's' body in a bridal carry and Corridor'd them both into the [i]Anastasios'[/i] medbay.

Then after setting Asher onto the medbay's bed, Tocsax Corridor'd himself outside once more, to where Emperor Michael had made his way outside the palace to pursue Zekaraya, his expression stormy as well.

"[I]Basileus,[/i] it seems we have to depart early," the Nobody said.

Emperor Michael nodded, "The Cornerstone of Light will repair itself in time, but until then, we won't be able to help you in your quest; we'll be too busy repelling Heartless attacks." He put a hand on Tocsax's shoulder, "God bless your journey."

The Nobody smiled. "Thank you."
