[center]☆trixxtal☆ Every word from Jecht was like a stab in the heart, but Trixxtal still refused to turn around. If he wanted, he could steal his own ship and find his own brother his goddamn self, Jecht was just making this a whole lot easier. Okay...maybe it was more than that, a lot more than that, but Trixxtal was angry so he didn't bother thinking nice thoughts about Jecht right now. When Jecht started coughing again, he was tempted to see if he was alright, but his stubbornness won out and he stayed put. If there was one thing Cepheus was good for, it was making Jecht stronger with his blood. All Trixxtal needed to do was ignore him until he gave up and went down to his room to feed. Instead, he held his finger out to the bird so it could perch itself on there, " Hello," He smiled at the parrot, vaguely remembering Jecht calling it....Dave? He stroked the top of its head with his other hand and tried to listen to what Jecht was doing. He totally missed what Jecht said to Charlie because he had been paying attention to Dave, so he only heard Jecht's footsteps retreating. He let out a sigh of relief and hoped that after he fed, Jecht would feel a lot better, or atleast get some more rest. " I think I'm going to get some rest as well," He muttered to Dave as if he could understand him and dejectedly walked back to his room. He didn't worry about running into Jecht because he would no doubt be feeding right now, so he didn't hurry. It surprised him when he found Charlie outside his door, speaking with Protettore. A small smile spread across his face at the thought of his young nephew making friends on the ship. Since there were no other children on board, he had been worried about Tori being bored all the time. At least now he would have someone to talk to other than Jecht and himself. " Ah, Charlie, how nice of you to play with Tori!" He cooed, patting Tori's head. ☆protettore☆ Tori had been sleeping peacefully when there was a knock at the door, awakening him from his slumber. He slipped out of bed and sluggishly walked to the door, opening it. Infront of him was a man he had never seen before. After last night's attack, he was weary of people he didn't know incase they were here to take over the ship again, but he figured that if this guy was bad, Jecht would have alerted the whole ship. Also, this man wasn't a wizard like the last intruder, but a vampire like the rest of them. He was probably just one of the crew members he hadn't met yet. " Um...yes?" he asked. Before the vampire could reply though, Trixxtal came trudging down the steps. Even from where he stood, Tori would feel the sadness surrounding his uncle. Infact, now that he thought about it, the stranger vampire was oozing sadness as well. If they were hundreds of years in the future, Tori might even compare him to one of those cartoons where a dark cloud followed a man around and rained on him all the time. It made Tori want to sit him down and talk about his feelings. Because he was caring like that. " Make sure to be safe and don't break anything!" His uncle laughed and closed his door, leaving Tori alone with the vampire in the hallway. Tori was confused what that even meant, but he disregarded it. He was used to his uncle's strange behavior already. Instead he turned back to the blond and tilted his head, " What does Jecht want to tell me?" He asked. ☆videl☆ Videl's sit-ups were interpreted when someone said his name and greeted him. He stopped halfway through his sit up and turned his attention towards the voice. It was impossible to mistake that voice for anyone else, seeing that she was the only female on the ship, and Videl quickly stood up, greeting her with a small bow, " Ah, my princess, what brings you here?" Wiping the sweat away from his forehead, he beamed his brightest smile at her as he waited for her answer. " Oh no, no, no! Please, interrupt whenever you'd like, my lady." At the mention of the wizard, Videl's mood darkened slightly, " Ah, that blasted wizard! If only I had been stronger...." He shook his head, " Of course! If my assistance is what you require, then my assistance you shall have! I shall teach you everything I know! By the time we're done, you shall have enough pasión to rival that of a thousand suns, [i]princesa[/i]!" ☆fenrir☆ Fenrir could only stare in awe at the items in his hands. He tended to stay far away from wizards and their tricks, but it always amazed him at what they were able to do and create. The items in his hands were so advanced that he was scared to try them out in case he ended up breaking them or make a fool out of himself. But with these, he could summon the dragon that would create a body for Freya so that she could walk among the living once more, so there was no argument what so ever whether or not he was going to use them. All he had to do was familiarize himself with this...strange magic items. " I understand," He nodded, turning his attention back to the mirror, " Thank you for your help. I will contact you when I find half of the spheres to make sure I am on the right track."[/center]
