"Tim. Tim..." She whispered, gently shaking his shoulder to wake him. It seemed after some delay due to the snow storm, they had finally arrived at North City. Other passengers around them were already starting to gather their things from the luggage shelf and file out of the cabin, and she didn't want to get caught behind them.

She took a cursory glance out the window, noticing that there weren't as many military personnel stationed on the platform, at least not compared to East City. They could have focused more of their military power at the fort further north, or there may have been officers out of uniform, wearing street clothes to blend in. Either way, she knew that speed and discretion were of the utmost importance in a situation like this, and the more time they spent inside this cramped space, the more likely they were to lag behind and get caught.

They needed to get out in the open, where Anton was waiting for them.

"Come on, it's time to go. We can't afford to linger."

A single reptilian eye opened, if he wasn't already awake the shrill ear splitting was more then enough to do it without her.

"I wasn't 'sleep," He groaned letting out a long hiss, stiffly uncurling his legs having been in the same curled position for the majority of the train ride. Perhaps not the best idea

There was no chance of him sleeping on this ride, the sheer overwhelm on his sense would have seen to that. From the thunderous rumbling and clattering metal of the train racing over the tracks to the thick concentrated scents confined to the car, with a particularly strong perfume that wafted through.

No. Sleep wasn't liable to occur not till he got somewhere safer. Although getting proper sleep was out of the question it hadn't stopped him from taking a moment to close his eyes now then, which was only possible due to Luna's presence offering some safety.

Upon standing up a sharp pin prickling tingle shot up his right foot the moment it touch the floor. Timaeus reached behind to lightly press at the base of his tail around his lower back, which had become quite painfully cramped up without being able properly uncurl and relax the muscles properly for quite sometime.

As he turned his head to glance out the window to get a look at where they were Timaeus noticed from his faint reflection the reptilian appearance of his eye. Damn, he could only guess the exhaustion was making it hard to maintain appearance. Swiftly a gloved hand was raised to make it appear as if he was just rubbing the sleep from his eye upon lowering it had returned to it's human like state.

With everyone so busy trying to get off hopefully that meant no one had noticed his momentary abnormality.

@lunaferrous even country?

" Well yeah, but what country are we talking about? Japanese folk music is a lot different from stuff they in the Balkans."

@lunaferrous needs some rest || X

⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆ He can tell she's exhausted and she's been at this for a while. She looks like she's drooping down in her chair as she scratches away at the papers, the pen making a certain melody with it's motions in his ears. The dance it creates is not quite as graceful as it has been on past occasions and his question to her doesn't seem to register for several moments before she finally replies that its been nearly a week.

There is a frown pursing itself upon hidden lips as he resists the urge to simply slip his mask off and part them in order to fill the room in slumber coated white mist.

"Miss Luna, I must protest that this is all very poor for your health. If it has been such a length of time, I would recommend that you do so as soon as possible. "

There is a pause as he shifts weight to place a hand up his hip as he does.

"If you -" his voice hushes itself as his tone goes quiet for a moment in his pause only crawl back out of him in a fat smaller tone than he had been using before. " - need assistance I can provide it."

He has not spoken of his mist to her and he has done his best to hide it. Mask remaining upon his features at nearly every turn. He could not let it slip out. He could not allow it to cause her harm accidentally if uncontrolled. His powers were much more dangerous than one would ever assume sleep could be but -

But at his root core he was a demon and sleep could become a prison from which one could never wake if caution was not taken in such a powerful poison.

He's told her nothing of his own abilities and he's still not explaining. He can only assume what she knows. His sword is at his waist constantly but the Mist Mythic has yet to even begin explaining himself or his people's abilities. His Mist is ... so deceptive. A liar just as he is. A promise of a peaceful slumber when it could become so much... if she were to agree to such assistance then he needs to proceed with the utmost caution.

He doesn't need to cause any more... accidents.

"Hm."

Serina finds herself scanning over paperwork. For as much as she enjoyed having plenty of resources to draw from when needed...She absolutely despised the office portion of her work. It seemed like when she managed to finish, another pile appeared before her. Some days it was simple, just sign off on things so they could be set in motion. Other days, it was only the beginning in a series of paperwork. She looks up from her desk, frowning at the sound of her door opening, but it becomes a faint smile, as she notes it's Luna.

"Sorry, I'm afraid I don't have much time to socialize today...You've caught me fighting my mortal enemy...Paperwork."

@lunaferrous liked for a starter with Serina

[historias-multorum]

@lunaferrous continuing from this.

"Ah-ha ha, sorry. I guess I was distracted." Jonathan started to blush out of embarrassment.

In truth, he was very curious about the woman he met at the Ball. He could immediately tell she was a no-nonsense type of woman. It was his curiosity that drove him to want to get to know her more as a person to see what she was like.

"I did want to speak to you in a manner of getting to know you." He began. "For what it's worth, you were very different from the usual women that attend Balls. Even when I was dancing with you, you seem- calmer and more reserved."

[dragonofthestone]

Flicking through the pages of a newspaper, most of it unintelligible to him but s few words stand out.

Devil's Nest, Chimera, and a number. Enough to put together it had to br the total number of those dead. Those who had been slaughtered defending their home.

Crumpling it up he tosses it away.

"What... what do you think they did to them, their bodies...?"

It was a question which had weighed heavily on his mind, more so since their departure to the north.

Just thinking about it was enough to create a thick, tight not in his stomach as he imagined their corpses rotting in some massive pile or perhaps cremated to hide any evidence and cover up the dark truth behind some of the lab's work. Perhaps worst of all was the image his mind conjured up of their bodies be cut and directed, returned to the lab of which they had been made in.

lunaferrous asked: "Forgive me if it's imprudent of me to ask, but do your people naturally have horns such as yours? They're very lustrous."

⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆ His face fills with a blush at her question as normally porcelain cheeks flood brightly with the color of his bloodline.

"Oh ... my horns? Why yes. They're Amethyst like my mother's. Hers were much lighter than my own and tipped in moonstone but still they came from her all the same. All Mistericans have horns like this though they differ in crystals and number. My elder brother's were a deep obsidian and he only had three. Father's were obsidian at the base but they were tipped in sunstone. He also had three, Mother had five. Three was a common number but it could range between one and six. I'm a bit odd when it comes to my people I'm afraid. So I'm the only one with seven. "

The smile on his lips is genuine as his eyes light with a glimmer in them that hasn't been present before.

"And thank you... for the compliment, Miss Luna. I try to keep them looking their best. I polished them recently, so I'm glad it shows. Is there a reason you ask? Is there anything else you wish to know? I would be happy to tell you."

⋆୨𖤓୧⋆ She's staring at him like he knows something. Rifle in her hands, she's looking at him with a scowl and demanding to know if his eyes had caught sight of whatever tore these men apart and there were plenty of beasts in these lands with the ability to do so. Tattered clothing and a pool of blood seeping into the tainted ground of Chaos' Kingdom - such a thing was hardly uncommon.

These fools had worshipped the wrong God and as such he wasn't about to step in when a wild Bandersnatch stepped onto the battlefield. At that point they were merely collateral damage. They had raised their arms towards the Wind and he had meant to meet them in kind.

It wasn't until the carnage was over that this woman appeared on the scene. Armed. Rifle in her hands... was she another fool chasing the bounty? She wouldn't see it from him so easily. Even if she was then it felt a little foolish to demand answers from him when her quarry would be standing just before her.

Blue eyes narrowed down on her as she demanded to know what happened.

"None of your concern. These fools only earned their comeuppance."
