"...I'd object, but you're probably right with that one."

"Of course, good of you to recognize that," she said with a soft smile.

"Of course, good of you to recognize that,"

Micerhin nodded in reply with a soft smirk, "The first step to enlightenment is being honest with and about yourself."
There was a pause and Mac added, "...which is about as far as I've ever gotten on the road to enlightenment, but it's a first step worth remembering."

Faris smirked lightly, "Wise words from Micerhin Aldchekal Carothver."

The silver haired woman shook her head, giggling slightly before she grew quiet. Glancing over the group, her eyes landed on Zereal. "So little boy, why did you join this group? Was it because of money or loyalty to the crown?" She had been meaning to ask the question to the others (though she could probably guess Raidou, Kupek and Mac's reasoning) but the Viera was mostly curious about "Z's." Plus, he still unnerved her when she even looked at him, and she hoped to get over it by talking with him.

"It's a start," Sendis conceded. "We'll see if you get any further."

"Wise words from Micerhin Aldchekal Carothver."

"...never thought I'd hear 'wise words' next to my name..." Micerhin grinned softly, winking at Faris in thanks.

"It's a start. We'll see if you get any further."

Shrugging his shoulders slightly, Mac smirked, "If only I were looking for enlightenment in the first place, maybe I'd have found it long ago."

"You never know Mac," she said. "You just might be walking along one day and happen upon it."

"Seemed like the thing to do at the time," he replied with a shrug.

"Seemed like the thing to do at the time,"

"That doesn't really seem like a good reason," she said. "Surely you must've had otehr motivations?"

"You never know Mac, you just might be walking along one day and happen upon it."

"I've happened upon many things," Micerhin thought aloud, looking up at the sky, "Never anything intangible or as spritiual as enlightenment, I must confess."
Mac stopped mid-step for a second, "I'm afraid you actually have me at a disadvantage - thanks to Madamme Faris, you know my name... but I'm at a loss for yours, Miss...?"

"So little boy, why did you join this group? Was it because of money or loyalty to the crown?"
"Seemed like the thing to do at the time,"
"That doesn't really seem like a good reason. Surely you must've had otehr motivations?"


"I've heard worse reasonings," Mac laughed aloud, "From 'for a laugh' to 'because I wanted the cash.' At the very least, he's a few floors up from them."

The Viera cocked an eyebrow at Zereal. "'Seemed like the thing to do?'" she parroted and a look of anger crossed her features before she shook her head. Before Faris could reply, Sendis spoke up;

"That doesn't really seem like a good reason, Surely you must've had otehr motivations?"

The silver haired woman looked off again and sighed, not expecting to like his answer. 'What is with this boy? Why do I get the feeling...' the bunny woman looked back towards him. That aura he wore almost like his cloak... "Then does that mean you'll abandon your allies if it 'seems like the thing to do'?"

"I've heard worse reasonings, From 'for a laugh' to 'because I wanted the cash.' At the very least, he's a few floors up from them."

She glared over towards Mac, "That doesn't make his answer right."

"Then does that mean you'll abandon your allies if it 'seems like the thing to do'?"

Zereal waved his hand dismissively. "Nah, I'd never do that." After a pause, he continued. "Don't want anybody coming after me for revenge after all."

"Good answer, kupo!" The mekka patted Zereal on the back. Kupek was still a bit wary, but he would give Zereal the benefit of the doubt.

"Somehow, I doubt that would stop you..." she grumbled to herself and looked away again.

"That doesn't make his answer right."

Mac held his hands up defensively and grinned slightly, "Well, I never said it did. But, from several points of view, it's almost... heroic."
"Almost." he added as an after thought.

"Nah, I'd never do that. Don't want anybody coming after me for revenge after all."

"Personal experience?" Micerhin asked, raising an eyebrow at the answer Zereal gave them.

"Good answer, kupo!"

Zereal reeled from the solid pat and adjusted his cloak. "Not quite what I meant, but let's go with it."

"Personal experience?"

"Yeah, pretty much," he replied, and left it at that.

"How many times is this now?"

They were rather curious about the man's background. Judging by the responses the man gave, he didn't feel too comfortable about telling his background. As untrustworthy as that would come off though, Rai felt that he likely had a reason for it. As such... "You know, I can understand the curiosity of wanting to know someone's past, but they say some things are better left unsaid."

"Ones past, a reason for fighting... All of these pieces of information are voluntary. If you want to share them with others, that's up to you... Just know that they may not feel the same way about their own backgrounds." he spoke, pocketing his hands and walking alongside Zereal.

"Exactly," he said with a nod, thinking to himself that he was probably going to get along well with the Zigan.

Pausing for a second, he looked over his shoulder at the others who had been asking about him. "You don't want to know about me. I'm not a nice person." Though his tone of voice was light and cheery, there was something about the look in his eyes that seemed to dare anyone to contradict him.

Kupek felt a chill when he looked at Zereal's eyes after the redhead spoke- it was a feeling he hadn't felt since the time his father found out he had snuck into his lab and broken one of his magnifying glasses. The moogle gulped in response and the mekka's head looked off in another direction quickly.

"If you say so, kupo."

Faris' visible eye thinned instantly, 'I was right... That boy...' She shook her head quickly and moved forward towards him. "I won't argue with that," the silver haired woman put her hand on Rai's shoulder, hoping she wouldn't have to shove the young man, but she needed to get close to the semi cloaked figure. "But if you think that keeping yourself so mysterious is endearing you to everyone,"

"To me," she mentally corrected, seeing how Raidou and Kupek already seemed so fond him. "You're not just a lazy drunk- you're also an fool!"

'His smell, it's different now. And his eyes... I need to see his eyes...' Faris thought, continuing to glare at him.

"I won't argue with that, But if you think that keeping yourself so mysterious is endearing you to everyone,"

Rai turned his head slightly to look upon the hand that rested on his shoulder, causing himself to shudder slightly and quickly retract his hands from his pockets. Had he not been aware of the fact that it was one of their own group members with their hand on his shoulder, he would've removed his blade and removed said limb.

"Keep it together... You're supposed to be calm, not jumpy." he reassured himself.

'To me, You're not just a lazy drunk- you're also an fool!"

Quickly leaning his head to the left, he let his neck pop, before repeating the motion to the right. "Hm... Is that what you believe, miss?" he asked, glancing back at Faris, eyes narrowed, though not in a way that seemed malicious. Rather, they seemed curious.

"Yeah, pretty much,"

Micerhin took into account the abruptness of Zereal's reply and decided to leave it at that. Even Mac didn't want to talk about some things of his past...

"You don't want to know about me. I'm not a nice person."

The same could be said about a few of us here, kid, Micerhin found himself thinking as he shook his head at the reply. There was something in the voice that Mac couldn't place... something that did speak volumes that what Zereal spoke of was the truth.
As things started to snowball slightly, however, Mac decided to just watch, seeing where things were going...

"To me, you're not just a lazy drunk- you're also an fool!"

"Think what you will," Zereal replied with a slight shrug, now trying to avoid the Viera's gaze. "You'll just have to find out yourself."

"Hm... Is that what you believe, miss?"

Faris glanced towards Raidou, not missing the instant tension the boy got as she grabbed his shoulder. "Yes... This boy-" her golden eyes turned back to Zereal. She could feel herself bringing up her old training, seeing people's true selves under their fake faces, and felt her face burn with embarrassment.

Why did this boy bring those old teaching back? Why couldn't she just let it go like the rest of them? 'Because he doesn't just have a fake face...' something in the back of her mind whispered.

"Think what you will, You'll just have to find out yourself."

The Viera gave a slight huff and dropped her hand from Raidou's shoulder. "When your real face is revealed, I expect you to look me in the eye..." she said, a strange emotion clouding her voice.

Kupek watched carefully from his mekka, ready to jump in and break up a fight at any moment if one occured. He wasn't quite sure which side to take- he was wary of the man from when he was back at the bar, but he also wanted to believe in Laon and Xin's choice to allow him into the group.

"Let him be..." Kailan said out of a sudden without even looking to anyone particular... "Not everyone like to talk about his past... Shyness, bad memories, mistakes, there's a lot of stuff... So let's avoid any fight and show us that we're better than those idiots from before..."
