((Omg. Critiqued by 50 other students? Eeee. I would be so nervous! Awesome drawing, shep! Carmela looks awesome!:D))
Well, she didn't think of it that way. The Nightstalkers were called their namesake for a reason. This specialized class relied heavily on stealth with a few of their attributes being that of smoke grenades and an evasive roll. He might have been able to get away at that time. It was a risk that she didn't want to take. It worked out well in the end. All three Guardians were safe and sound. No one was harmed from the incident, and the Hand of Ares suffered a blow due to their unsuccessful strike. Her mind cleared when she heard Amanda Holliday began to speak. Nadia actually never came across this woman during her time here. She has heard stories of this incredible woman, and now, she was finally able to meet her. The shipwright of this era that sold ships, sparrows, and offered repairs as well. Also, she played a part in the SRL league that a lot of Guardians participated in. She was a weary traveler that stumbled across the Last City. A tale that was common for the refugees that seeked shelter underneath the wing of the Guardians and their light. It was a tough journey for these citizens. Not everyone did make it to the Last City. It felt strange to be standing here right now in front of the woman. She wasn't there in her era. Someone else has taken her place. Unlike Guardians, the mortals or mundane people had shorter lives. A Guardian could live for a long time. She has met a Guardian once before that was centuries old.
Nadia offered a small smile to the woman while she instantly recognized Feron. Oh? She knew him well then? It made sense, since he did live on his ship prior to coming across her. He'd probably come to Holliday for parts for his ship to make improvements and modifications much how she made improvements and tweaked the decor of her home. She glanced up at Feron for a moment right as Holliday mentioned if he was retired already. She glanced back over to Holliday when she brought up who she was. When Feron introduced herself to Holliday, she bowed her head slightly before she had spoken."Nice to meet you, Ms. Holliday." she said softly, before she had fallen silent so that Feron could do the talking to try and persuade the shipwright to get his ship. The woman was hesitant to grant him access to the hangar all because he had his gear. She knew that there were rules enforced for a reason such as to protect and prevent accidents. Though, this was one of those special situations where he didn't have any access to his armor because his Ghost was on the ship. If she didn't allow for him to get to the hangar, there were other ways to get onto the main floor. Using the watch was one of the alternatives, but she could also open one of the locked doorways. The slightly illegal way.
She was about to say something, but that was when she saw the shimmer over his body. Nadia looked over to him when this occurred, and to her relief, his Ghost noticed the troubles that he was going through by giving him the armor that was required of him. She reached her free hand up to help him fix the cloak that his Ghost most likely had done on purpose. When it was fixed and neat in appearance, she looked back over to Holliday to hear the verdict. She would allow him, now that he had the armor that he was missing. Good then. He can get to his ship. She slightly raised an eyebrow as the woman mentioned a hunter hangout. A what? Oh, she clearly missed some places here in the Tower. There were still a few places that she did not explore around this place. Yes, she was that of a Guardian back from where she was. Though, she did not reside on the planet Earth. She lived somewhere else on a research facility. Or, she used to. She didn't know of the fate of the facilities on Venus and Neptune. It was Neptune where she resided, but she had been temporarily borrowed by the Venus installation for a project relating to the Vex and how they traveled across timelines. She tensed when Holliday had said that a few of her tools went missing, and she basically gave them a warning to not touch any of these tools."Yes, ma'am. " she said softly, and when she felt Feron starting to turn, she had done the same. She walked alongside him being mindful of the stairs so that she wouldn't end up tripping herself or him over if she was to accidentally step on his cloak. It was the reason why her cloak was short. A lot shorter than the typical lengthy cloaks that Hunters had. She was silent while she waited for the door to slide open, but she tilted her head back to look up at Feron."Do you want for me to talk to him first? I feel like this is my fault. I...I need to make things right." she said softly with a faint frown.

Roman tilted his head subtly to the side right as she pulled one of her hands away from him. What was it? He briefly looked down at their joined hands, before he lifted his gaze back onto her. It was the prosthetic arm that she pulled from out of his hand, She still was uncomfortable about it, wasn't she? He didn't mind at all about the arm. He didn't care, but it seemed like she was still a bit insecure about it. He nodded his head head when she said if that was what he wanted. It was. It would mean a lot if she did follow through with this. There was a light smile that formed on his lips as she also mentioned that he better not run off to catch the guy that did this. At least, not without her at his side."It is a deal then." he told her softly.It would be a lot like chasing the white rabbit. He wouldn't even know where to start if he was going to pursue the person. There was no information or data on that Titan. When he asked Athena to breeze through the match details and the name that was connected to the Titan, it was that of a false name. There wasn't a single Guardian that went by the name that was displayed on the roster. For a brief moment of time, there was an actual name.A name that made him grow just a bit nervous with a meaning behind the surname."Thanatos." he said lowly as he recalled the name that was flickering on the roster before it vanished for good so that there would be no trace of his existence. "It means 'Death' in Greek. It was the surname of the person. That was all that my Ghost was able to recover, before everything slipped away from her grasp." he told her with his thoughts traveling back to the stand-off in the middle of the Crucible match.His hand seemed to have lightly squeezed her hand absentmindedly when his memory has been refreshed with the scene playing over and over in his mind.
"I sensed that there was something...off. He was of darkness. I believe that he may have been that of a Defender class." he started to explain to her."He had a weapon forged of darkness. I've never seen that type of gun before." he said while he slowly loosened his gentle grip on her hand and let his hands fall to his side."He knew me from somewhere. The way that he was speaking to me. He knew me, yet I can't remember the voice. I can't remember where I might have met this person before." he explained to her with confusion crossing his face."Maybe in the past? Before this life? I...I wouldn't know. I don't have any memories of my past life." he said with a light shrug of his shoulders.He highly doubted that the other Titan mistakened him for someone else. It most definitely didn't feel like that.He took half a step back, but he still kept his eyes on Akari during this conversation."He said things that didn't make much sense to me. Such as..." Roman was starting to tell her, but Athena materialized and hovered over his shoulder to quote exactly what the Defender Titan had told him during that match."You are alive yet again. To take what is mine? Your throne of ivory was not enough?" Athena murmured with her blue optic moving over to Akari for a second or two, before she looked over at Roman. He casted a quick glance over to his Ghost, and had nodded his head once to confirm that was what the Titan had told him.He then looked over to Akari with a small breath of air leaving him. He wished he could remember his past, before he was brought back to life to wield the Light of the Traveler. That thought alone made a light bulb go off in his head."Athena...do you remember the spot where you found me?" he asked curiously with his eyes shifting back to Athena. Athena bobbed his head once in the air, before she responded."Yes, I do. Reason?" she asked him to which he simply turned to face the door that would lead from out of the apartment. That could be a possible lead."I might need those coordinates then." he said softly. "...and a temporary replacement for my helmet. I don't care what color it is." he added.

The doors of the hospital slid open when the Nightstalker had walked through the doors. With Sasha and Oliver admitted into the hospital, they should be fine in the care of the medical staff. The two Guardians should be back on track once their injuries have been dealt with. The recovery process was swift in comparison to a regular human that suffered the same injuries.Her cloak lightly brushed the floor that she walked on with her gaze set straight ahead. She didn't look to her left or to her right to see the numerous Guardians that were in these plazas whether they were meeting up just before they headed out to a mission, or if they were exchanging whatever they found on the field to the vendors. It was mostly quiet around this time of day. There were only a few other Guardians, and a good number of them were speaking to the bot that was responsible for collecting the bounties that they have fulfilled whether it has been achieved out there by eliminating possible threats out there in the field or testing your skill in the Crucible. Rose lifted her right hand up slightly so that it would be level to her own chest. Her fingers flexed from that of an open hand to that of a fist with a spark of void energy flowing from her fingertips along with what looked like the flicker of a green fire. Green fire. Associated with anything that had to do with the Hive. It was one of the side effects of using that gun earlier. She was a strange thing. A balance of Light and Darkness. It was because of the presence of these two forces that sometimes one or the other would cancel the other out. Sometimes the bow worked and sometimes it did not. She was just lucky that it did when she needed it the most when they needed to pin that Knight down. She lowered her hand to her side, being mindful of her surroundings and taking these pathways that would have the least amount of people around. She realized that there seemed to have been someone that had been following after her. She paused for a moment while she casted a quick glance over her shoulder. Wreav. The Titan that was on her fireteam.
A low breath of air had been exhaled as she allowed for him to catch up to her before she would continue."You didn't have to come." she said lowly while she walked."I would have been fine speaking with them about the details in relation to the mission." she added, but she didn't look over to him during this entire time that they have walked to the Vanguard. She slowed to a halt when they reached the staircase that would lead down to the Hall of Guardians where the Vanguard would be waiting for their return. By the Gods, she hated this. To have to appear before the Vanguard every time she completed a mission. Nevertheless, it was to be done. Without any words to be exchanged, she headed down the flight of stairs with hurried footsteps. She'd rather get this over with so she could enjoy the rest of her day.When she made it to the table where the Vanguard members were located, she slowed to a stop at the end of the table.She cleared her throat slightly, before she had spoken."It has been done.He is slain. No longer shall he be a threat to us." she simply stated to keep the conversation short. She didn't want to ramble on and on about this mission."Sasha and Oliver have encountered some...complications.Currently receiving medical treatment for their wounds. Other than that, I would say that things went well." she added with her eyes sweeping over Cayde, Zavala, and then Ikora. She kept her gaze pinned on Ikora seeing one of the Warlocks that were tending to something turn slightly. One of her Hidden.No doubt. The Warlock turned to look over at her with a suspicious look reflecting in his eyes.There was more to the story, wasn't there? Rose held the gaze of the Warlock, almost like if in a challenge. The Warlock had taken a few steps towards her with his posture tense but she was relaxed. The snake in the grass. Step on the snake that laid in the grass, and you were going to get bit."Ghost." she murmured lowly, and with that single word, her Ghost dropped something on the table. A memento of the slain Knight. A fragment of the axe and a part of the cloth that it wore. Her eyes never did leave the Warlock though which seemed to have been unnerving to Ikora. "Yor." Ikora called out softly which caused for her to break her gaze away from the Warlock."Both of you are free to leave." she concluded with her usual cool and casual voice.

Sable looked over her shoulder with her hand resting lightly on the knob of the door. She simply nodded her head when she heard the 'magic' word, before she pulled the door open and left the room without another word. See, she figured that the first line of work for him to get back on track with becoming a Guardian was some manners. At least he didn't give her some sass with the answer or a scowl with the answer. He was already making some progress. Really all she was waiting for was for the status of being 'Taken' to be gone with the wind. From that point, it would be a bit of an uphill battle. That is where the real work will begin to unravel. She knew that wielding the light was a lot like learning how to ride a bicycle. If you had the concepts down, it was something that you didn't forget over time. Still, there were a few things that he had yet to learn. While she wasn't the best teacher that the Vanguard could have assigned, she would try her best to get him back on track to walking in the path of the Light. As she walked through this section of the hospital, her mind was beginning to unravel. Why did the Vanguard select her out of all people for this type of task? They knew the history between the two, did they not? About the scuffle in the hospital when he tried to break into someone's room while they recovered? She shook her head slightly at the thought, and when she did find a nurse, she pulled her to the side."Hey, excuse me." she started to say to her with a small smile."I do apologize for interrupting. A patient is requesting for some pain medication with a glass of water. I'm not sure if I was supposed to speak with you about such matters, or if I was to speak with another, but I would appreciate if this wish was fulfilled." she explained to the nurse. The nurse simply nodded her head in understanding, before she rounded the corner to go fetch what was needed. Well.That was easy. She turned on her heel to head back into the room that Cecil resided in. She opened the door, and once she slipped inside, she shut the door behind herself. "See? Was that so hard?" she said softly before she had taken her seat once again."She's coming. Give her five minutes." she told Cecil as she stretched her legs out a little.
