(OOC: If your character is staying out in Venice, do so. This is going to be a time skip.)

Aya made it back to the villa, standing outside near the grove of trees. Looking up at the moonlit sky, she sighed, waiting for Jett.

Colt raised an eyebrow at this. He didn't know what to say given that the first woman was his own beloved, the one that he was just moments from proposing to. The second he knew was their sworn enemy. "I should set you up with Kat." He quipped, this mostly being a joke. "Would solve two problems at once..." He trailed off, realizing that even if Adam and Kat were a think, Aya would probably still ban the harbinger from the house. "Nevermind. Tell you what, let's head back to the villa. I'll make you a drink so good you'll forget all about women problems."

"Is it bad I wouldn't mind," Adam pointed out with a slight shrug in regards to the Kat subject before shrugging. "Sure I can drink, I'd like to eat some good italian cooking too!"

Colt seemed amused at this remark. "I'll see what's back at the house. Might be able to snag a bite before everyone else gets home." He remarked. "Warp us back?"

Sky had gone back to the villa as well, heading straight to the direction of her room. Opening the door, she stepped inside and closed it quietly. The woman let out a nervous sounding laugh, followed by a sigh.

"Heh... Doesn't feel the same without Birdie around..." Shaking her head, she got changed and begun wrapping her arms with several bandages. Flexing her fingers, she then tightened both hands into fists and begun pelting the punching bag in the center of her room with a flurry of punches and kicks. She gradually sped up her attacks, to the point of her fists blurring together as she relentlessly attacked the heavy bag. It was starting to sting her knuckles, but she ignored the pain and put more power into her strikes.

"Well, that doesn't look healthy at all," a voice said from behind Skyress. Leaning on the wall was Sayloren, her arms crossed while staring at the girl. "Your hands are too pretty to beat them like that." @Ib All Alone;

"I..." Sky had frozen up at the voice, the speed of her fists reducing gradually until she stopped beating up the punching bag. "Well.. I don't see what's to gain if I... don't keep up.. my routine..." She sighed, taking a moment to catch her breath. Sitting back on the bed, she begun to unwrap the bandages.

Jett eventually made his way to Aya, having fallen asleep by the pool. Brushing a bit of ice from his white hair, he quickly apologized, a hint of pain audible in his voice.

"Sorry for leaving you waiting. I ...may have fallen asleep and accidentall frozen half of the pool."

"There's that militarism of yours," Sayloren sighed, walking around the room. "That'll be dealt with when Death comes to get me, I guess."

"Well, what did you expect of someone born into the military?" Sky remarked with a quiet laugh. "I can't just give up my old job like that, can I? It doesn't happen overnight.." After unraveling the last of her bandages, it revealed her knuckles to be raw and bleeding - probably likely to bruise. Sighing, she stood and walked into the bathroom to get some gauze for the injuries.

"That'll... be dealt with," Aya said, staring at Jett. "Let me ask you a question; do you want to be sent back to Rose for cadet training?"

--

"And somehow, it seems like you never try to tone it down," Sayloren's eyes stayed on Sky. "You somehow never try to stop yourself. And don't give me that force of habit crap; I stopped smoking for you."

"Oh sure I can," Adam nodded his head before quickly warping himself and Colt back into the villa.

"What do you wanna order though?" Nicol asked her curiously.

Jett quickly shook his head, eyes only briefly leaving Ayas before he responded.

"No. I want to work alongside other Riftwalkers. Every time I got sent on a mission with another cadet I'd be the only one returning in one piece. I don't want any more friendly blood on my record."

Not realizing that most of the others had already returned home, Colt and Adam landed in the kitchen, where he quickly got to work making a couple of drinks for himself and Adam. It hadn't come up much, but during his time between getting his memory wiped and working for Null, he had spent some time working at a bar, helping out an elderly barkeep. So he had learned a few things. "You know, I can't believe I'm about to do this." He said, bringing Adam his drink. "I mean, it's just... you know." He sighed. "I'm not really doing well at this whole 'words' thing, am I?" He asked rhetorically.

"Tell me, Birdie. What do you want me to stop doing? Beating myself up over two years ago? Neglecting the fact that I have limits? Just... Tell me.." Sky glanced down, cleaning off the blood from her knuckles as she begun applying new bandages.

"You'll do fine," Adam nodded his head towards Colt, actually feeling the presences of the others but deciding not to say anything. "Trust me man."

Colt nodded. "I do man, I do." It showed just how distracted he was by the fact that he didn't even notice the presence of other people on the compound. If they were in a combat zone, it would show a severe lack of capability, one that he himself would find inexcusable. But instead of noticing any of this, he simply took a long sip of his drink to try and steel his nerves.

Aya nodded to him. "The standard Null militant personnel paraphernalia: a modified M21 sniper rifle, an AR15 assault rifle, or a Desert Eagle .50 AE. Those are your choices in guns. A stainless steel katana, a survival knife, or shock percussion gauntlets are you choices are the standard melee weaponry," she said to Jett. "You will learn to use at least one of these weapons, and you will take them with you at all times."


Sayloren looked to her. "I want you to rest easy. I want you to stop worrying about the prospect of the world crashing down tomorrow, and just live life before it does."

"I.. I think I can do that..." Sky muttered, finishing up with redressing her knuckles. She walked back into the main room, sitting down on the edge of her beds. "I'm assuming you didn't just come here to tell me to relax. You're sure there's not anything else?"

"Well..." Robin said, glancing at the moonlight. "It's getting pretty dark, so why don't we order some dinner, then a little dessert? We could get some pasta, like we said we would on the plane, the a gelato...I'll pay for it too, if you want." Robin offered.
