"One of who?" Ryzionad asked, raising an eyebrow in questioning. He never understood anything like that. 'One of them.' What did that even mean? How did people ever get by on such vague descriptions?

"Ha, it's nothing you need to worry about then." Lotus said, and then redid the lock that he had broken. "Don't mess with that lock again please, it is a waste of my powers to put it back time and time again." She said with a laugh and started to walk off a little bit.

Eleven frowned, slightly disappointed when Rioku didn't join her upon the couch. She bit down deeply into her lower lip, slowly turning her gaze to the fireplace. "I honestly don't know my real name..." Eleven stated in a weak voice, her gaze becoming ore like a sort of trance as she stared at the fireplace. "I lost that bit of information when I was caught in the fire that claimed most of my body." she said, her dark eyes filling with sorrow, both for her missing limbs and the lose of some of her memory.

Ryzionad just sighed a bit and trotted up the stairs. "Just don't think of doing anything drastic and we'll be just fine. I'll have eyes on this place, so don't try and pull anything." He warned, speeding up the stairs and off towards the corner. He was soon, back into the tavern underground and at the bar, ordering a cup of tea to settle himself. He was just in a heap, ruffled with irritation.

Rioku nodded a bit. "It is sometimes a blessing to forget. It gives you another chance at experiencing something new and unknown to you. Being unable to forget is more a curse than you'd ever know." He said, stating his thoughts. "But of course, that is only my outlook. You don't have to take what I have to say to heart. I am, after all, just stating an opinion out of experience. Not my own, but that of others that I encountered while Skye and I traveled." Rioku stated, expecting Eleven to figure out who he was speaking of.

Eleven bit into her lower lip softly and then tilted her head slightly, listening to Rioku intently. She gnawed on her lower lip gently before rising up to her feet, but she successfully managed to remain on her feet without losing her balance. Eleven slowly walked over to Rioku and then crouched down beside him, smiling at the wolf sweetly. "But, it would be nice to remember what my real name is." she said softly, tilting her head slightly. Eleven let out a sigh and then stood up, gently tapping her left thigh, the sound of metal clicking against metal echoing through the air, but also there was the soft rattle of a large object hidden inside the compartment in her thigh. "It has been a pleasure talking with you... But I have a very important object to deliver..." she said in a soft voice, grinning slyly as she began to rock back and forth on her heels.

Rioku noticed how devious Eleven seemed to be, and took that as an opening to help. He did have a bit of an obligation to Eleven, since Skye did set a rule that he was to be courteous. "Then maybe I can escort you." He offered. Skye was leaned against the back door now. He had tended to his gardens and he was waiting for Rioku to give in some sort of sign that everything here was to be handled. That seemed to be a long shot though... seeing that Eleven may be doing something illegal. Skye was already in trouble with the law for tresspassing. This might pull him in even deeper.

Eleven's face suddenly flushed of it's tan pigmentation, turning a surprisingly pale shade that looked almost white. She drew in a deep breath, contemplating the question several times over in her mind. "I don't think that's a good idea..." Eleven mumbled under her breath, rubbing her thigh nervously. "Let's just say that I had to shoot my way through a human wall to get this item..." she stated, her voice soft and slightly shaken.

"Then at the very least allow me to know what you have. Or I can have Skye tell me." Rioku said, looking at Eleven, his icy blue eyes intensifying. He was quiet the negotiator when it came to information. If the specimen wouldn't co-operate, Rioku could always scan them and get the information from Skye, if he was willing to speak. Skye did have his own morals.

Eleven glared at Rioku for a long moment and then let out a sigh, closing her eyes and pinching her nose bridge. "Fine..." she hissed, opening her eyes again and shooting Rioku another glare. Eleven tapped on her thigh several times, each in different spots, as if typing in a code. A small square panel swung out of her thigh, revealing a hollow part inside Eleven's leg. Eleven carefully reached inside the hole in her thigh, wrapping her cold metal fingers around an object just a bit larger than the palm of her hand. She pulled out the object and then brought her hand up in front of Rioku's muzzle, slowly uncurling her fingers. Delicately cupped in Eleven's hand, an enormous chunk of uncut ruby sat. The smoothest sides of the rock caught what light seeped into the room and shimmered brightly against the walls, casting a red glow around the room.

Rioku took a look and informed Skye of it through his mind. It was a magnificent looking gem, but Rioku had seem much more valuable gems. This ruby seemed strange to him however. It gave off power, and plenty of it. It was almost overwhelming, and much more than just mesmerizing. "You must have gone through quiet a bit to get your hands onto this, whether you mined it or stole it." Rioku said, brushing his tail against the floor.
