I told you to stay in the temple, Shion!

[Despite Mu's harsh and angry tone, there is no answer. Shion is sitting against what looks to be a low wall made of white marble. In his lap are two semicircular halves of a golden shield. He's staring at them without really seeing them.

[Mu, in the meantime, is crouched nearby, tending wounds that look as though they were much uglier not long ago. The robes he's wearing are caked with old blood, and he himself looks to be a bit worse for wear.

[But even as he finishes and then settles down next to the blond, Shion's complete unresponsiveness continues, so much so that Mu's gaze turns from something bordering angry to worried, and finally, with a sigh, to sympathetic. He puts a hand on Shion's shoulder. At the touch, Shion's gaze shifts to the other man, but his eyes, as before, reflect nothing.]


It's...not something easy to swallow, I know...

Barring an ability to restore life to the recently departed, no. [Sorry Martha, Mu might be just a tad snappy today :<]

[it's okay, Martha's travelled with Ten. By now, she's hardly even shocked by the announcement of death]

Sorry.

[Martha turns to walk away and leave them to their grief]

You're the first not to shower us with sympathy. Thank you.

[she spins on her heel, giving him a brief, tight smile - she doesn't think it's anything to be thanked for - and nods to him. She doesn't want to disturb them any further, though, so she continues on he way]
