[It's been a year...

It's been a year since he first came to the Plane. What he feels about it? Sometimes it's like a haze inside his head and all over his Cosmo.

Sometimes, wishes he could hate this place, and others but even less, a part of himself can't help but to be grateful for. Feelings that are still hard to accept... and having them meant weakness. His own Cosmo betrays him at times and he's so sick of it...

Neither sad or angry, Saga lies next to the stream as he gazes at the leaves stirring slenderly with the wind at times. His motionless, emerald eyes piercing tenderly at the sole view.

That is the Gemini Saint, graceful even at ease.]

[Saga half-turns to look at Mu, taken off-guard. 'You were hurt. And I wouldn't let you die. It was nothing...']

[lamb_of_gold]

[As if sensing his train of thought...] You had courage where I lacked it. I can no more raise my hand against Shion as I can Athena.

[so_sweet]

[His expression becomes more empathic, gentler. He understands, also... he had been a witness of his that final night...] Mu... [His Cosmo tries to comfort the one of the Aries Saint.]

[Eyes half-closed.] ... You were even more brave than I could ever be.

[lamb_of_gold]

I beg to differ.

[so_sweet]

Why are you so harsh on yourself?

[lamb_of_gold]

I dare say the pot is accusing he kettle of being black.

[so_sweet]

[Blinks and looks away. W-Well yeah! He should be saying that to himself.] I have my reasons and you know it.

You, on the other hand... [But he stops and hesitates, as if trying to say something else. In the end he just gives an annoyed sigh.] I couldn't... [Presses his lips.] I didn't want to face Shion under any circumstances again, but... I wouldn't let him kill you.

[lamb_of_gold]

You stood against that fear, where I could not. For that, I give you thanks and my respect.

[so_sweet]

[asdfghjkl you!] [His voice is low... but deep and grateful.]... Thank you.

[After a moment of silence, he dares to ask.] How is he?

[lamb_of_gold]

Himself again, thankfully.

[so_sweet]

[Squints at him.] Mu... How did he...? That wasn't the Aries surplice. Neither his Cosmo.

[lamb_of_gold]

It was the Surplice of Balrog. Shion once told me of a time in his childhood, when the man who would inherent that Surplice came to find him in the hopes of turning him away from Athena. Perhaps this episode was simply a possible outcome.

[so_sweet]

[...] That... [... Okay. Let him... process the thought for a moment. Brb.]

[lamb_of_gold]

That is, perhaps, the best reasoning I can think of, at least. He...hasn't said much to me in the meantime.

[so_sweet]

[He remains silent for a while.] How did he choose to become a Saint? He could have... taken that path, even before knowing about the Sanctuary's existence.

[lamb_of_gold]

His love and loyalty for his master and the cloths steered his heart true.

[so_sweet]

[Smiles. That was Shion. He always admired him for his loyalty and dedication... but he was too cavalier to accept it.] He will have a hard time through this. So... we should give him some time.

[lamb_of_gold]

I agree. I'll be leaving Sanctuary shortly to look for Trainees. That should give him the space he needs.

[so_sweet]

[He eyes him.] So... it is finally time.

[lamb_of_gold]

I've made plans to be on my way shortly.

[so_sweet]

Where do you plan to start looking?

[lamb_of_gold]

I will start in Greece and work my way outward, I think. I've yet to set a proper travel plan.

[so_sweet]

[Smiles and chuckles.] Greece is a good start. You may find really strong boys, or girls. [Somehow proud to be Greek.]

[lamb_of_gold]

The souls of some don't wander far from home.

[so_sweet]

Hm. Have you... seen your student?
