Michael makes his way toward Elycia and Damien's location, hoping to find some sort of refuge in that town. if there wasn't anywhere available, he'd find somewhere else to mull over the week.

Now that Leon was on his own for the next few months, he was able to get more out of his meals. He savored the food by eating at a normal pace. The wand, however, preoccupied his thoughts as he ate. "I need to be wary of the magic users here.." He thinks.

he finds that the town is full of harbors and jobs for any wanderer if he was alright with working menial tasks like cleaning stables, working at an inn for various ways, to even just cleaning in the barracks of the town guard. there are plenty of opportunities for someone that doesn't mind doing things that would be seen as demeaning.

"you're to be awake at 0300 no acceptions" she says evenly, her arms crossed as a no nonsense scowl grows across her face, obviously unhappy with having to deal with a prisoner even one that was so menially charged, most likely preferring to work elsewhere or get back to her studies

"I see...well, it was a pleasure speaking to you. I'll..see you around." Michael says as he exits the tent and begins making his way out of the camp. On the way out, he spots his brother. "" The two brothers think almost simultaneously as they briefly make eye contact.

the guards allow him to leave without complaint as leon is given bread, cheese, and water for his daily supper by a young woman in robes that doesn't speak to him, looking to only be about 16-17 and not even slightly afraid of him, taking comfort in the wand at her hip slung like one would sling a blade, the handle merely a blue cloth wrapped around one end of it while the other end is capped with a moonstone to act as the focus however it appears the moon stone is actually fused with the wood through mystical means, making it unable to be seperated without destroying the wand

The young man grimaced at the mention of "marking." "Oh. Well, as long as it's not permenent, then I guess that might work. Good then. I will come to you right away if you summon me. Tomorrow night, Elysia."

"it's not unless you want it to be" she says softly as she traces a crescent moon onto his hand, before it glows a faint blue and goes black. she then traces one onto her own hand and holds it out for him to press the marks together with a small smile

Damien stared at her and though for a long moment. A hardened, intelligent look appeared on his face, much like that of a scientist at work. "Yes... yes, that is what we must do. Now if only i could think of a way you could contact me in case of any kind of emergency. I believe I have a means to get to you, no matter how far I am. .. Let me see if I can borrow something from the vaults... unless you have another way?"

"i can mark you with a communication infusion" she says after a small pause for thought before removing a stylus from a small pouch at her hip on the right side and holding out her hand for his, saying "this one won't hurt" in a soft, encouraging tone and releasing him from the hug to take a small step back, hopefully helping if he was embarassed by their proximity. the stylus she holds is a small wooden wand with a blue cloth at the base to act as the handle and a small moonstone cap at the tip, acting as a mystical focus of sorts allowing for mystical inscriptions and other such things with more ease than one would normally have using just their hands

((No worries! All is forgiven!))
Michael smirked. "Well, I knew there was always a reason I had preferred the crescent above all the other cycles. Something about it just fills me with...awe." He states.

"hm?.. oh, i don't really pay attention any more... when you're forced into night shifts for the rest of your life you tend to miss the sun rather than enjoy the moon..." she says evenly as she gets back to her paper work, letting him go to leave the camp as she works

She smiles at memories of camping out, kicking ass and spending time with him. She sorta sinks into her chair, and smiles, quite relaxed.

"feel better?" he asks, knowing that she probably knew he'd assisted in helping her think happier thoughts. they come out of warp after a few seconds at a spherical space station, as if it were made to substitute a planet. he approaches it and begins a docking procedure, holding her hand through the entire time

"T-thanks." She says, attempting to shut him out of her mind, and failing. She has a few more flashbacks. Old friends, old enemies, blood being shed...a young boy. a fresh new life in the army, stamped out when he was splattered all over her armor, by a large tank round........the memories keep coming, but they don't hurt her...not anymore.

"hey, it'll be ok, alright" he says softly as he moves her mind towards happier thoughts, slowly getting her to think about things that made her feel better as he squeezes her hand a bit, trying to keep her mind on the moment. after the ship reaches 100% the solar panels retract and are stored in small compartments at the side of the ship rendering them unable to be distinguished as he charts a course for a space station a few solar systems over and giving her hand another small squeeze as it shifts seamlessly into warp

He puts his arms around her also. Damien didn't get a lot of hugs, and so he was nearly overwhelmed by the compassion. Almost afraid of how it drew his feelings toward her, he remained silent as they held each other. "An answer will come. I don't know from where, but I trust that it will."

"maybe... maybe i could stay here?.... i'm sure the church would be fine with that?" she says after a long pause and a sigh, as if giving into the fact that she'll have to stay behind for him to worry about her less even though it would cause her more worry while the last part of her question was semi directed at the healer, who was most likely from the church if not funded by the church. her healing skills were obvious in the fact that she was standing right now after having the left half of her body broken, and her appearing in church for services would most likely be a great morale boost due to her angelic appearance, even if she was of a different religion, not to mention it would be seen as a great way for the church to curry favor with damien who was obviously skilled and well needed simply by looking after her and offering her work

Damien hung his head and sighed painfully. "Ah. Forget what I said. I'm sorry. I can't put you in danger by taking you with me. I'd be failing all around." He clenched his right hand into a fist. "There is no way to protect everyone and uphold my honor. Gyah! I am torn!" More softly he confessed. "I wish I had any faith remaining, any true god to believe in to pray to for help."

she limps over to him, her leg obviously not quite ready, before giving him a hug, not really knowing what to say so instead just hugging him and trying to comfort him, not really know what to do herself. "i-if you need me to i can stay behind... but... i'm just worried about you..." she says softly where only herself and damien could hear her, obviously not wanting to be left behind due to worry, but obviously not wanting him to worry about her either leaving her conflicted as well as she silently hugs him in her confusion, trying to think about solutions

She shivers, making her seem oddly cold.
"God I hate these things..." she mutters, taking his hand. She has another flashback, this one where she grabbed onto the wing of a plane, and crashed it by breaking a propeller with her glaive. She falls towards the gr-
she snaps out of the flashback, and observes the pannels..

"it'll be ok, you have me piloting and if i've learned anything, it's that nothing can crash my ships unless they're actively trying" he says with a small chuckle, giving her hand a squeeze to try to comfort her. the ship floats near a space station as they orbit, the pinwheel design seeming to be made to remain in orbit effortlessly around the earth while still allowing space craft like asura's to gather solar energy
