Rioku's crystal began to shine again, the cool glow of the crystal against Rioku's snowy fur resembled that of ice caught in the light of a sunny winter's day. "You are not human, yet you are not quite qualified to be... technology..." Rioku said as he looked at her. "I'm a bit curious and would like to ask... what you are exactly." Just as Rioku asked his question, Skye had come through the door silently. "Rioku. It is not your place to question others this way. By the looks of it, she may not be one to trust you very much. I apologize for my partner's bluntness." Skye said to the girl Rioku had brought here. Skye didn't have the time to stay till dawn, or else the Reapers would probably extend his sentence, but he did have a duty to himself to help those he felt would need it.

The dragon's attack hit Natsume's demonic bird head on, but something in its head told it to retreat before giving its life in battle. Before the bird slammed into Xaria, a portal of darkness opened before it and the bird vanished into the hole of nothingness. Just as the bird went through, the portal closed and the area was left silent.

Natsume was laughing lightly while he leaned his back against a few crates. "Hey, I'm the one who saved you from that failed Angel. At least you could thank me." He said with a chuckle. That... wasn't entirely true, but Natsume didn't feel like having bad blood between a possible ally. Kojack was asleep at James' feet, his large reptilian throat rumbling with every breath. "So what's you're name? I'm Natsume." He said with a now friendly smile. His eyes were not visible, but a light green glow came from under Natsume's hood and hair.

Ryzionad nodded. "Just relax Grandfather." He said before he turned on his heels and dashed out into the alleyway. He spotted a girl who had just been at the doors not far from the tavern. He found it strange since he never noticed a door there before. Cautiously, Ryzionad drew his dual blades and held them at his side as he called out to the girl who was stepping out og the alley and into the streets of town. "Halt! What were you going here?!" He called, showing his athority and threat level through his stance. He was ready to fight if he needed to.

Eleven's lips fell in a frown and she swiveled her head around to the large wolf, her eyes brimming with curiosity and wonder. She stared at Rioku for a prolonged moment, still a bit startled that the wolf could speak at all. Eleven then looked back at Skye, her muscles tensing and the pistons in her legs also tightened. "I do not mind the question..." she said softly, looking Skye up and down several times. Eleven let out a sigh and then blew a stray strand of her hair away from her face. "And Cyborg is the proper term," she stated, looking back over at Rioku. Eleven smiled softly at Rioku, thinking the large wolf rather adorable. She turned back to reparing her metal leg, her eyebrows furrowing slightly.

Rioku seemed intreged, but Skye did not. He was more conserned about the girl rather than curious about her. Without a sound, Skye walked towards teh girl, looking her over. He could smell both oil and blood as well as some kind of copper-like smell as well. He knelt beside her, taking Rioku's place and looked the girl over. The mechanism of this girl's limbs seemed simple enough to Skye's standards. Studying technology wasn't very tough for him, and he had to do something on his spare time besides gardening. "It seems you need a new pipe for your fluids to run through." Skye said as he inspected this girl's mechanism. On silent command, Rioku stood and left to fetch something for Skye.

Eleven turned her gaze from Rioku and to Skye, scooting away from him nervously. She blinked rapidly a few times, her eyes flashing brightly underneath her fluttering eyelids; she was searching through the data stored in her mind to see if she had ever encountered Skye before, and if he posed a threat to her. "I would prefer it if you didn't get so close..." Eleven said in a monotone, her eyelids slowing and batting at their usual pace. She pushed a button on her wrist and then her screwdiver-like fingers turned back into normal, her hand returning to its proper form.

Skye bowed his head apologetically, taking his hat from his head and putting it to his chest as a sign of respect as he stood. "Yes, of course. My apologies." He said just as he put his hat back into place. Rioku had come back with a narrow, but flexible tube. Skye took it and held it out to the girl, looking at her with dead and stoney eyes. "This may help in your repairs." He said, not a single waver in his voice or his expression to show any other emotion besides... boredom... or maybe it was an expression of anger on his face. It was always up to the crowd to decide.

Eleven raised an eyebrow at Skye quizzically, looking the boy up and down as if he were insane. She wasn't used to such polite behavior, since she was a common thug from the streets. Eleven's eyes fluttered to Rioku, her pale lips instantly parting in a smile. She looked back up at Skye as she took the tube from him, nodding to him thankfully. Eleven placed her hands down on her thighs and then swung her legs over the edge of the couch."You remind me of the dog that hangs out in my alley," she said in a light voice, smiling softly at Rioku as she held out a hand to the large wolf.

((I be sorriez I baked cupcakes, and it was so far down on my post list i didn't see it, I be sorry!!!!!! \And well maybe I'm just not so observant..Yeah, that's it, I'm just not observant O.o

Lotus looked at the person who told her to 'Halt'. She laughed in her mind, but didn't out loud. "What do you mean where am I going? I'm just trying to get where I need to go? Isn't that why we use paths, and streets, and well, walk. To get to a destination?" She said, looking at the sword. She then took her fan out of her leg holster, and fanned herself. "I don't see a problem here...Do you?" Lotus said with a smile.

[Pockyy]

James backed away, slowly. He folded his arms defensively across his chest, frowning slightly. "Why should I tell you that? I have no reason to trust you..." He began, though finished mid-way as he bumped into some crates, jumping at the clattering noise echoing around the warehouse. He exhaled sharply, senses heightened as the adrenalin pumped through him like molten. Glancing around, he could barely make out the strange shapes that seemed so clear in the light before.

Rioku just stared at the girl with icey blue eyes that slowly shifted green while his pupils vanished. His corneas were covered in grids that gav his the appearance of some kind of robot as well, but if searched, he was not. He was scanning this strange girl with his computerized eyes before he allowed his eyes to return to normal. Rioku was tired after having scanned the girl, so he gave her a quick lick on the hand before he trotted tiredly to the back of the cabin. He had pushed the door open with his snout and walked onto the back porch, laying down and sleeping lightly.

Skye was watching Rioku while he scanned the girl, collecting data easily through their connection. I see... So this girl goes by the name, Eleven. Peculiar, yet intreging. Skye thought before he looked at Eleven again. "If that is all, I will leave you alone if you wish. You seem to need the rest." He said as he walked to the fireplace. He took the stone from its place on the mantle and struck it against the wall of the fireplace, lighting it up without any trouble. He had replace the rock on the mantle, then turned to follow Rioku out of the house.

"I don't see a problem here...Do you?" Lotus said with a smile.

Ryzionad had nothing to say back to that, so he just had to suck it up and try to find his own answers. "I-I'm sorry, Ma'am... Carry on." He said with a light sigh ashe sheathed his blades and walked towards the girl. It looked like he was coming at her, but he had turned to the tunnel he saw her walking away from and began to decend to see what might be down there.

Natsume just laughed a friendly laugh and lit an oil lamp, making sure to keep the upper half of his face consealed under his hood. "You don't have a reason to. I was just asking. Tch, humans. Always so defensive." He said, chuckling as he did. Natsume was one to joke very often, especially with targets, and Kojack loved the taste of humans. Two creatures with very disturbing habits. "Well, would you at least give me a name I can call you so I don't have to keep calling you Human or Meat?" He said 'Meat' in a... disturbing way. Kojack was licking his reptilian jaws at the thought, but a single unseen glanc from Natsume dispelled Kojack's thoughts.

Lotus saw that he was going to go where she just was. "Um, why don't you tell me where you are from, and what were you doing?" She said out of panic, she didn't want him to go kill the animal down there. "Hey wait a minute." She said, blocking the already sealed off doorway. Lotus then looked around with a sigh. Well, I guess I just blew the.. Nothing going on persona.
