((Harley Quinn seems to be a popular choice for cosplayers. I've seen a few Quinn's at last year's convention. Also that dude from that show called Tokyo Ghoul. The creepy looking guy with white hair. I didn't know who it was supposed to be, but my friend pointed it out.There was this dude in a Gundam cosplay. Like holy fudge, that thing had speakers that played the intro song and everything. Must have costed thousands to make. I don't know how these people do it.D:))
The time that has swept past was indeterminable. When she felt the warm rays of the sun fall onto her face, that was when she was beginning to wake up. Her awakening wasn't that of an instant. She'd make these small movements like shifting slightly where she was laying, turn her head more into the pillow so that the sun wouldn't keep shining down on her face, etc. Eventually, her eyelashes made this fluttering motion before her eyes slowly opened to adjust to the light that was present in the room. The best way to wake up? Having someone you loved so dearly right in front of you. A faint but warm smile appeared with her head tilting slightly back to look up at him. "Mornin'." she said softly to him. She moved her arm from off of him so that she would groggily bring herself to a sitting position. Nadia lifted one of her hands to brush through her hair so that it would be all to one side, before she twisted her body and planted her hand off to the side so that she would be hovering over him for that moment. She leaned down to give him a brief kiss on the lips, before she brought herself up. She lifted her other hand that wasn't supporting herself so that she wouldn't topple over him to tuck a loose strand of hair behind her ear. She glanced over to the window, noticing how bright and beautiful the day was going to be. It seemed like she may have overslept by a few hours. She was planning on making breakfast a little early, so that by the time he woke up, it would have either been nearly done or finished. Her soft gaze settled back down at him with the smile that didn't falter."...seems like I have overslept." she murmured lowly, before she crawled from out of under the blankets that covered about half her body.
She then moved from off the bed, and lightly brushed her hands over the night gown that she had been wearing. A yawn escaped from her clutches while she stretched one of her arms out, before she turned to look over at him."So, what do you want to eat for breakfast?" she asked him, while removing a hair tie from around her wrist. She then collected her long hair to have it in a bun so that it would be off her shoulders and out of the way. Last thing she wanted for any batter or egg yolk to be in her hair. The smile faded for a second or two when she felt additional weight being hefted on her. She glanced down to see what her Ghost put on her, but she didn't have to take a guess to know that it was her armor minus the helmet. What was this about? She looked around the room, expecting to see Plato floating around somewhere with a smug look. She turned her body slightly, seeing that he was right behind her. This time around, there wasn't this smugness or an attempt to pull her leg by creating minor annoyances like putting on the armor instead of civilian clothing or vice versa. She kept her eyes on her Ghost with this eerie and lingering silence between the two in this wordless exchange. Plato had shifted his gaze over to Feron for a moment, before his blue optic shifted back to his Guardian."Fuel the ship. Make sure she is good to go." was all that she told her Ghost, before he had vanished from out of sight, and had switched out her armor for some civilian clothing in the mean time.She was quiet for a few seconds, before she looked over to Feron."I need to take you somewhere. After breakfast of course. I don't want for you to go on an empty stomach." Nadia was beginning to explain to him."It's related to what I have told you the other day. It's not going to make sense now. The place that I will be taking you to. Though, it will when the time comes. " she explained to him with a serious expression on her face."I can't be with you with every step in the way with this dire matter, but I need for you to guide them to this place. They will not know where to start. If I go..." she was started to say as she dropped her gaze for a moment."They'll know. I knew of the outcome of the fall of Oryx. I knew what it took to bring him down. I know so much more, and if I was to keep guiding them through this, one of them will catch on. There was one on that raid team that seemed...different. It is her that I am the most fearful of. She showed no threat to me, but..." she started to say, but then had trailed off there. "I will be there at the end though." she added while her posture seemed to have gone rigid as she had said this.

A small smile pulled at the corners of his lips hearing her last clear response, before Akari was beginning to drift away to sleep. Roman had heard these small and muffled sounds that came from her, but what she as trying to say to him was incomprehensible. He assumed that she was sleep talking, and it was actually kind of adorable. He kept his arm around her with his gaze drifting over to her Ghost that pulled the blanket over him and Akari. He kept his eyes on the Ghost when he moved from the the blanket to head over to the mug that was set off to the side."Thanks." he whispered lowly to the Ghost, and kept his voice low so that he wouldn't wake her up. He didn't fall asleep right away much like she did. His gaze was settled on her resting face with his eyes closing about halfway. He brought up his free hand to lightly trace her jawline with his thumb as she was sleeping, before he buried his hand underneath the pillow that his head was resting on. A few minutes later, he closed his eyes with a soft exhalation of air leaving him. He was starting to fall asleep, but when he felt the air stir near him, it caused for his eyes to snap open all of a sudden. He lifted his head from off the pillow to turn and look to find the source of it. Her Ghost. Once again. He made this low murmuring and grumpy sound,wondering why the Ghost had scanned near her wrist. What was it now? It took him a couple of seconds for him to register what the Ghost had been doing due to the sleepy state he was in right now. Then, he recalled some medical information that he was taught near the beginning when he was a Guardian. The wrist was one of the places where you could check the pulse of a person. Was he checking to see if the medication she had been taking was affecting her in some way? Or, was there another playing factor that he didn't take in? Roman rested his head back onto the pillow with his gaze landing onto Akari for the second time this night. No other sound came from him. He shut his eyes, as he gently pulled her close to him so that they would only be a few inches away from one another. She was safe, and she didn't have to worry about him rolling over her like a bulldozer. He wasn't going to budge from where he was. At least, not any time soon.
He remained where he was through the course of the night, and had stayed asleep with one of the contributing factors being the warmth that radiated off of her. Not a single sound came from him as he stayed still and laying on his side throughout the night. His sleep was dreamless. Something that he was more happy about. Mostly because when the dreams did come to him, it was twisted and dark. Sometimes, it would be the memories that he dug a grave for and buried it in the back of his mind in hopes that it wouldn't resurface. They sometimes did. The memories would be of that dark and hell-ish pit that his team was sent down to. Only two were supposed to survive that day. He could only play the cards that he had dealt with, and if he actually did, four of these Guardians would be dead under his watch. At times, he could recall every single detail like the screeches that would echo through the domain of a Hive God and how he wasn't able to see a single thing in front of him. Total and utter darkness. It also happened to be one of his greatest fears. To be trapped in a place void of light with nothing but silence or the distinct sound of the Hive to greet him. He was going to freak out and have those god awful flashbacks. Hence, why the Vanguard usually skipped over him when it came to any missions that may have deal with hunting down the Hive in these caverns buried underneath the remnants of Old Russia. They knew what him and his team went through, so they would not subject him to that same torture. There was no telling how he would react nor how unstable he really was. He looked absolutely fine when he has fought off the hordes of Vex, Fallen, Hive, and Cabal across the surfaces of these planets. With a fear such as that, he would be that of a caged animal. Frightened and a chance that they would lash out to anything that drew close to them.
