Urick saw Alex's eyes narrow at him for a moment before she went to one knee, his eyebrow raised as he wondered if she was still mad at him for yelling at her in the stadium. She gave a short oath to Eva. He nor Gippal did anything of the sort for her. But Alex was the one who ALWAYS wanted to be a Guardian above everything else.
She rose and Eva said she was going to help with the wounded and He and Alex were left standing there watching her leave. She turned to him and for a moment he didn't know what she was going to do. She suddenly came in very close and hugged him. His face was beat red and he couldn't control it. She messed his hair with the hand that cupped his head, and before he could even hug her back still affected by the shock she pulled away. She then said she hoped he was ready to deal with her, and that she wouldn't drive him too crazy. Fact was she already did with her Angry glares and sudden mood swing. But of course he said nothing.
Looking to the man named Kahl he then said, "If you want to follow....Come to the boat then." He said softly before bowing his head very slightly for a farewell and left the building.

Maximus was brooding by himself and seemed to look like he missed mostly everything. He had heard they were leaving on the last ship tonight and Decided to follow the three still because he had nothing better to do. Seeing how Saina was now gone with Sifen...he will have to talk to her on the boat now. Sighing he nodded to Kahl and moved out of the shop.
------------------
As soon as Gippal walked out of the room he heard a knock on the door to see Urick popping his head in. Urick quickly told him that they were leaving tonight on the last boat also that Alex was now a Guardian, and Nai was also allowed to come along as a requirement. Gippal was surprised at the news. He thanked Urick for letting him know and Urick popped back out.
Gippal leaned outside against the wall, banging the back of his head against the wall gently. He was wondering why he 'ran' from the room himself. He always liked Nai, even growing up as kids. Why now when she was holding his cheek did he freak out? He let out an irritated sigh/growl. Stupid.
He then suddenly thought of Eva, and how she was doing. Through the world wind of the last day he didn't even get to talk to her too much. Beside's in his room before they went to bed, but he needed to fall asleep for the game. She has basically been with Urick the entire day while he was off doing a million things. Eva had been with him for two years basically They had been together through a lot, she had clung to him like a security blanket for many months, with the ordeal she went through he was surprised she has coped so well over the years.
Sighing he looked at his chest as he thought of Eva's ordeals and placed his hand over his heart, he could feel the massive scar even through the shirt, it was obvious he was forever marked by his own trials. It was something he received three years before, something that changed his life forever. Horrible memories of screaming in agony flashed through his head. So much it caused his head to hurt with imaginary pain.
He should say that he was surprised HE was sane after his ordeals, Something he never talked about. Not Eva, and not even with Urick. They knew things had happen, but not what.
His thoughts were dragged to the present as Nai opened the door announcing she was ready. He put on a smile and nodded, getting behind her he pushed her through the door of her house. As they walked they received strange looks from people who saw Nai's horn, some gave mean, disgusted, looks only to receive one back from Gippal. But no one said anything surprisingly.

Six Hours later
AS they made their way to the docks they quickly found the group as Alex and Urick stood above everyone else. As the grew closer he saw Eva sitting with Alex who was speaking to her about something. He stopped when Nai looked up to him and told him to go check on Eva, He thought that was kind of weird she would say that...especially after the night before. He then said, "Alright?" He moved from behind her chair and looked at her again. Her face was semi neutral so he couldn't get a read on her. He was planning on talking with Eva anyways, it was just weird that Nai would tell him to.
Walking over he passed Alex, He gave her a smile and said, "Welcome aboard." Slapping her arm as they passed. He walked up to Eva and stopped as the setting sun reflected near them, Gippal finally saw that Eva had her hair done and had makeup on. He was taken back on how she was sparkling in the reddish orange light.
He glanced over to see Saina standing by her and nodded to her. He then squatted down on the balls of his feet so he was eye level with Eva. She was looking extremely tired, he smiled at her and placed a hand on her elbow gently, squeezing her arm slightly. "Hey... how are you doing?" He asked softly.
Urick looked to Eva and Gippal as they began to talk. He looked to Saina who was standing there and made his way over to her, looking at the sky as he did. He got her attention by tapping her shoulder gently. Once she looked at him he motioned with his other hand to follow him to the end of the Dock.
Once they were there, he cleared his throat and sweat started to come down again on his face. He struggled with what he was going to say and how to word it. He then pointed to the horizon where the sun was setting directly in front of them. The sky was a multitude of shades of reds and oranges, which mixed in with the ocean below. The air had a gentle breeze and the sea was calm.
He let a moment of silence go by, his eyes closed taking in the last of the warmth of the sun. Despite the sounds of the men moving cargo onto the ship, the sounds of the waves calmed him. It didn't even seem real that the events that happened today really happened...if it was just a bad dream. He focused on the scene before him and acted like he was only speaking to himself or Gippal. He finally spoke in a low voice. " Both are beautiful and powerful in their own way. Only together though can they complement each other and make a masterpiece."
He let out a breath of air as he looked to his right and down at Saina with a smile. He then realized he was able to speak to another person, a woman in fact with out freaking out. But as soon as he realized that he turned red and looked away, clamping up like he did once more.
She rose and Eva said she was going to help with the wounded and He and Alex were left standing there watching her leave. She turned to him and for a moment he didn't know what she was going to do.
