"Well... I'm not exactly the best person to explain it... maybe talk to Rory about it...? Or Cullthane...?" Raviathon responded with a bit of a nervous chuckle"Yeah? What is it?" Gabriel asked, turning to Raviathon.

Gabriel tilted her head in confusion, "O...Kay? I'm confused, but I'll uh... take you're word for it, Ravi.""Well... I'm not exactly the best person to explain it... maybe talk to Rory about it...? Or Cullthane...?" Raviathon responded with a bit of a nervous chuckle

"Is something on you're mind, Jack...?" Okita asked, glancing at the man as she simply sat at the edge of one of the beds, staring down at her bracelet.
(like something doesn't add up)Jack was currently on the roof of the Hotel, how did he get there? Well, taking the ancestor, now being in the outskirts feeling the cold of the fresh air, he look at the City.
Jack turned his head to see who it was.As Jack was on the roof, he could hear somebody else enter from the door that led to the roof(which was connected to a flight of stairs, like any normal building).
"Yes, there is a good view here and the temperature is comfortable" Says Jack witha smile, after all his mother had taught him to be kind"Nice night out, ain't it?" Asked a man with ragged clothes and messy black hair that draped over their forehead and eyes partially as they entered the roof. Their skin was rough and pale, with a thinly trimmed beard across their chin, and they wore glasses.
"Jack, and tell me Alex, do you live here? Or are you also someone who only visits these lands?""Heh, is that so... What's your name?" He asked, "My name's... Alex, yeah, that's probably a name people have nowadays."
"Well, maybe I'll have time to meet her if I don't leave too late, so you seem to be a nice person to spend time talking to" Jack said"You could say I'm... also visiting for work, if you'll believe that." "Alex" said, "I'm staying at this hotel until I can find my sister, you se..."
"At least some of her brothers still care, I know several friends whose parents and other brothers abandoned them, especially one of them, she is very explosive with the topic" Jack said remembering some old friends"Maybe you will, who knows... She kinda ran away from home." "Alex" explained.
"You should go buy her a cake, when I was coming to this hotel I see a good level pastry shop with not so high prices, you can probably find one that she would like""I guess you do have a point... We didn't leave off on the best terms, so, I hope we can.. patch things uo." "Alex" said.
Kiara was clearly awake from how she was moving from within the room, her movements sluggish, uncomfortable as she sat at the edge of the bed, trying to sleep but clearly unable.Masayoshi and David had remained in their shared bed, David gently caressing her shoulders, even now. Neither said anything, a loving, calming silence taking hold of the room. David would lean in periodically, gently pressing his lips onto Masayoshi's neck, the couple savoring the warmth of their shared touch.
Eventually though…Masayoshi took a soft breath. An air of frustration overcame her body, the woman leaning further into David's bare chest.
“…Still no luck…” She said quietly. David looked down at her, adjusting himself so that their gazes met.
"…Take a break, honey." He said softly. Gingerly, he patted her back, flashing her a soft smile.
"… We'll search more in the morning." He said.
Masayoshi hesitated momentarily, tensing up, before slowly shaking her head.
"David…." She began. She trailed off, shaking her head.
"… I'll… I'll let my clones explore on their own…for a while. They’ll…message me if they…find anything…” Masayoshi said quietly. David smiled at this, slowly leaning forward and wrapping her into a warm embrace.
"Love you, honey." He cooed. Masayoshi took a soft breath, before flashing him a smile.
"I love you too." She said quietly. She remained in his embrace for several long moments, before slowly getting off the bed, standing to her feet.
“…I…I think I'll check on Kiara. I might've…thrown her off a bit, earlier." Masayoshi said. She forced a chuckle, slowly shaking her head. David looked up at her, flashing her a wide smile.
"…Have fun, honey. I'll be here if you need anything." He said softly. Masayoshi smiled at this, slowly leaning over and placing a soft kiss on his cheek.
"… I'll keep that in mind, darling." She said softly. Gingerly she made her way to the door, slowly opening it before closing it behind her. With purposeful, quiet footsteps, she walked over to Kiara and Rory's shared room. Unsure if she was still awake, she gingerly placed her ear against the entrance, wondering if she could hear her inside.
Meanwhile:
Lance had picked the last room Gabriel had bought, not wanting to disrupt any potential…activities that the married couples may participate in. He lay on the floor, conjuring himself a small, elaborately decorated sleeping bed to rest in. Periodically, he would glance down at his hands, inwardly wondering if Metatron was alright. He was tempted to reach out to the angel, but slowly shook his head.
“…I…I should not pressure him. He will talk to me when he wishes…" Lance thought. He hesitated for a moment, before slowly closing his eyes.
Meanwhile:
Ythala trembled visibly, the angel curling herself into a tight, tense ball against the wall of the hallway. Her wings fluttered anxiously on her back, her mouth quivering.
"Okita…" Ythala muttered, repeating the samurai's name in her mind. She wanted her…she NEEDED her. Every fiber of her body yearned to be in her embrace, to latch herself onto her arm, to feel her soft, warm flesh against her own. It was an insatiable, knawing desire, the kind that only grew worse with every passing moment. If it hadn't been for Tokugawa continued support…it was likely she would have broken down all over again.
"Okita…" Ythala repeated. It wasn't lust that drove her. No, her yearning for Okita had far surpassed the desires of the flesh. She wanted to lay with the woman for the rest of time, to feel nothing but her flesh around her body, to hear nothing but the gentle tone of her words. She wanted to sing to her until her voice faded into nothing, play her music until her fingers cracked and broke.
"My Gentle S-Sword…" She said, her voice cracking audibly. The thought of her being in danger, of having to fight, sent waves of anxiety through her being, threatening to break her, to turn her into a quivering mess of tears and despair. If anything were to happen to her...if she didn't come back...
Ythala slowly closed her eyes, choking back a sob.
"Huh. I'll take your word for it... I appreciate the recommendation." "Alex" said."You should go buy her a cake, when I was coming to this hotel I see a good level pastry shop with not so high prices, you can probably find one that she would like"
Masayoshi continued to listen for a few moments, before confirming someone within the room was awake. Concentrating for a moment, she established a telepathic link with the woman, not wanting to wake anyone up by knocking on the door.Kiara was clearly awake from how she was moving from within the room, her movements sluggish, uncomfortable as she sat at the edge of the bed, trying to sleep but clearly unable.
Lance's eyes opened, the man immediately sitting up in his sleeping bag. He said nothing for a moment, before looking down at his hands. He flashed him a small smile, though his eyes betrayed his obvious worry."Lance...." Metatron addressed the man for the first time since they'd gotten to this world, his voice filled with some melancholy.
Kiara jolted slightly into the air, not expecting to be addressed telepathically so suddenly. She looked around, before sighing, realizing it was just Masayoshi. "Oh, hey, Masayoshi..." She thought back.Masayoshi continued to listen for a few moments, before confirming someone within the room was awake.

"...Kiara...?" Masayoshi thought, projecting the message into her brain.
"First off, remove these gloves... I can't transform with them on." Metatron said.Lance's eyes opened, the man immediately sitting up in his sleeping bag. He said nothing for a moment, before looking down at his hands. He flashed him a small smile, though his eyes betrayed his obvious worry.
"Metatron! Is....everything alright?" He thought.
"Heh... Alright. I'll... keep this talk in mind." "Alex" said, "This was an insightful little discussion, but, I think it's time I skedaddle...""Hey, it's the least I can do, I like to help people who need it, It makes me feel useful, after all a small victory in this that could be a life of 99% of no own victories helps a lot"
"Well, I hope so" Jack said looking at "Alex"."Heh... Alright. I'll... keep this talk in mind." "Alex" said, "This was an insightful little discussion, but, I think it's dime I skedaddle..."
