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...

[Takeru crouches down a bit, and looks straight at Shion. A hand goes to his old crest tag, and he thinks for a moment before speaking.]

There's a solution to every problem. The lives of those close to you, don't...

[He closes his eyes, fighting internally with himself, before one side seems to win out.]

Don't let it pull you away from your goal. Learn from what happened. Use it. Adapt.

[Takeru straightens up and smooths down his pants.] I'll... leave you be.

[He heads off, shaken a bit.]
