[ As if there weren't enough problems...

Saga is in his training clothes, standing alone with crossed arms quite deep in thought... but also there's a hint of sorrow on his face.

'Why?... Why them?... My Goddess... They were so kind and free of fault...'

That sweet woman and her old but kind father who owned the small grocery store...

When most of the villagers heard about the rumors of his actions, saying hurtful things behind his back and rejecting him... those two were the only ones who treated him like a human being and not like a monster. The Gemini knew them since he became a Saint; the woman at that time was a little girl and had such an infatuation on him, which Saga found quite humorous back then. Now... they are dead... and he can't help but feel sad with the sole thought...

He gives a few steps forward and changes his posture. A fist against his mouth and the other hand on his waist, as if trying to find a logic about what happened to them. Suddenly, his eyes get an angrier look.

'I will find the bastard who did this...'

Finally, he composes and straightens as the fearsome Saint he is known for... ]

[Problems and then some. Conan's come to the plane to check in with the others who have been investigating the disappearances when he notices Saga, apparently lost in thought.

His expression is bleak enough that Conan stops automatically to watch, wondering what is going on -- and it's not until Saga comes to his decision and straightens that Conan realises he's been staring.]

--ah!

[sosweet]

[It is a problem when you scare little kids with such face lol Saga startles and senses Conan's presence. Also realises his own behavior.] Oh. It's you. [His expression changes.]

[holmes-fanatic.livejournal.com]

[Conan is just as abashed.]

It's me! Ne ... I don't think we ever introduced ourselves.

[sosweet]

[Smiles. Despte how he feels atm.] You are right. I apologize for that. I'm Saga, Saint of Gemini.

Ne ... is everything all right?

[lamb_of_gold]

I was in Rodorio today fetching food. Three more people have vanished.

[sosweet]

[Saga lifts his head up at the presence of Mu but doesn't turn. His Cosmo gets angrier at the news. His voice dead serious.] Who were this time?

[lamb_of_gold]

A farmer and his two oldest boys. As with the others, they have vanished without a trace.

[sosweet]

[He clenches his fists and both tremble. He knew them by sight.] We need to investigate. Let no more villagers disappear.

[lamb_of_gold]

The older Trainees, Dohko and I are already searching. I don't know if our Rodorios are the same yet, but I will tell you what, if anything, I find.

[oliverplus]

[Oliver approaches him hesitantly, not sure whether or not he should break into such an intense train of thought] Saga... You okay?

[sosweet]

[Saga's eyes widen in surprise and turns fully to look at Oliver with concern. Man... where had you been?] Oliver.

[oliverplus]

[Oliver would argue that Saga is the one who looks like he needs concern right now] Yeah. Ah, how are things?

[sosweet]

[Let's argue then |P] [He hesitates at first in telling Oliver or not, because he doesn't want to give him more worries. So his answer takes a short while.] There have been...trouble. In Rodorio.

[oliverplus]

[that's okay, Saga; Oliver is already worried] What sort of trouble?

[jokerofthelord.livejournal.com]

[Gabriel is watching for a while, but when Saga seems 'alright', he approaches.]

That must have been an immense inner theater, pal. Something's up? Or down? [Yes, he couldn't help the joke.]

[sosweet]

[Saga half-closes his eyes at the voice behind him.]

[sosweet]

[Then completely. Voice dead serious.] Did I entertain you?

[jokerofthelord.livejournal.com]

I prefer more action than inner struggle in theater, pal. [Gabriel's voice is light, almost joking as he steps closer.] 'Sup?

[sosweet]

[No comments, though.] Do you ever take things seriously?

[onperfectlips.livejournal.com]

... Saga? What's happened?

[She didn't need to ask if he was all right. The answer was obvious.]

[Blinks and turns to look at her. Good thing she was okay, because... with Morgana's abrupt change...] Gwen.

[sosweet]

[Saga approaches her.] A couple of villagers who lived next to Sanctuary disappeared and died... with their left hands severed.

[onperfectlips.livejournal.com]

[Recent events on the Plane - the strange power that had effected her friends and the quests that had been required to retrieve the cure - had provided a temporary distraction, but the mysterious disappearances were still at the front of her mind.]

I'm so sorry.

Will you tell me exactly what happened? Perhaps we'll be able to find some sort of pattern.

[And stop it happening to anyone else, in any other world.]

[sosweet]

[His face looks dismayed.] They were an old man who owned a grocery store and his lady daughter. From what I know from the villagers' testimony and the information gathered from the pawns, there was nothing out of ordinary the previous day... until they disappeared the next one.

Their bodies were found after being missing for a couple of weeks outside Rodorio.
