Robin wipped the tears flowing from her eyes with the back of her sleeves and looked at him with fearful eyes. "O-okay." She said in a quiet voice, sniffling. "P-please don't l-leave the door when I shower..." She quietly added.

Nicol smiled at her before chuckling slightly. "Don't worry, I'll be your own personal watch tower."

After hearing this, a slight smile made its way to Robin's otherwise anxious face, feeling a bit better knowing that Nicol would protect her from the outside of the bathroom. "...Thank you, Nicol...T-that makes me feel better knowing that..." She told him feeling grateful, before stepping into the privacy of the bathroom and gently shutting the door.

Whimpering and trembling as she took each step, Robin turned on the shower and began to strip down. Stopping in front of the mirror, Robin turned around and looked at her back, a stream of tears rolling down her face from the sight. Two, long stitch lines ran from each shoulder blade, going all the way down her back. The stitch lines were surrounded by smaller, jagged scars. Finally, Robin moved away her hair from the back of her left shoulder, showing the faint outline of a large bite mark scar, taking the appearance of what seemed to be a animal's one.

With trembling fingers, Robin slowly traced the outline of the bite mark, wincing at the emotional pain and memories behind it. After doing the same to the other marks, Robin stepped inside the shower and began to wash, quietly crying to herself as old memories began to resurface in the form of vivid daydreams, a living nightmare for the traumatised girl.

Raphael stood in the bathroom while Robin showered, looking at the girl through the curtains. It hadn't registered to him that he needed to leave, staring for a moment while he processed her disposition. Surely if he had his power back, it would be easier for him to discard this feeling of attachment he had toward her. He was an Emissary after all.

"Would you like me to kill that dog?" He asked, referring to Ib. He still had more than enough power to deal with a creature.


Sayloren entered Sky's room, looking around the inside. "Nice digs ya got here," she said, looking at the various sketchbooks. "You still draw, I see," she said, walking over to open one.

--

"You've been given two options: registered surveillance and work for Null, where you'll help us out with us watching you without harming you. Or, you can be sent to maximum security prison, where you'll rot in a stationary position for the rest of your life," Rose said, impassively staring at the boy. "It's your choice."

--

Aya turned on her heel, trying to see what had passed her. For a second, it seemed as if Metzli had run past her. "What?" She asked, looking at the girl.

So she'd stolen something. Of course, curiosity had gotten the better of her - running with her baskets in hand, Aya followed the vendors after the girl.

Colt had seen what looked like Metz run by him as well, but unlike Aya he didn't think anything of it. He had grieved as she did but he didn't believe in people coming back from the dead, even though the offer from a long time ago sat in the back of his mind. He frowned looking off into the distance only being brought back to attention by Aya running past as well. This brought a sad smile to his face, she must have seen it as well. So he followed.

The girl, much to her dismay, found herself in a dead end. The four pursuers would have her cornered. Giving a little grin, the heterochromatic girl turned to face the two merchants and the Riftwalkers in question. For a moment, her expression faded into a frown, studying Aya's face with an uncertain gaze. After the slightest bit of hesitation, she slammed her fist into the ground. Two large, pointed geokinetic pillars erupted from the ground, moving at a lightning speed to impale the two merchants. Removing her fist from the asphalt, Blair created another spear that ran like a ramp to the top of the building otherwise blocking her way. Running up it, she leaped upwards, catching the edge of the rooftop with one hand before pulling herself up and running off once more.

Birdie would notice that the sketches were mainly of certain Void Beasts. A few of them were of Ib, the young Death Child, as the wolf-like creature had grown up in the past year or so. The drawings, while only spur of the moment sketches, were of rather notable proficiency. Sky gave a faint smile at her friend's remark, offering a reply, along with a soft chuckle.

"Yeah, I still do.. It's been a hobby of mine."

Robin broke from her memories at the sound and sight of Raphael. Horrified, Robin's cheeks burned as she tried her best to cover herself up with something, anything.

"W-what are you d-doing in here?" She squeaked. "G-get out, Raphael! Out!" She yelled, throwing a sponge at his face.

The Emissary let the sponge hit his face, not responding to it. "Do you want me to kill it? Will that help you?"


Sayloren smiled a bit to her. "Good."

--

The merchants were immediately taken out of the way of the spikes, Aya levitating them toward her. When she put them down, she clicked her tongue. The girl used earth - that was most definitely Metzli. Jumping from her position, Aya landed onto the roof before summoning a small magnetic field.

Throwing it, the field was made to surround the girl and slow her movement. "Stay still!" She yelled out.

Blair frowned, turning around to face the Riftwalker.

"Who the hell are you?" She asked, narrowing her red and blue eyes. Her gaze was one of pure confusion, and a bit of suspicion. Despite feeling she should've known who Aya was, she had come up with nothing.

-

"You hungry or anything? I could get you some food from the kitchen, if you want." Sky inquired, glancing towards the door before returning her attention to the girl.

Robin shakedly sighed, realising the emissary wouldn't leave nor understand the concept of personal space.

"W-what? What are you t-talking about?" She quietly asked him, stopping the shower and wrapping a towel around her, then sitting down on the ledge of the bath. She then realised she was talking about it. "N-no!" She squeaked loudly. "N-no...it's not her f-fault..." She muttered, subconsciously tracing the scars on her bsck.

"Is something wrong Robin?" Nicol walked inside, his eyes covered and him waving his other arm around blindly. "I heard you talk."

***

"Looks like there's something going on," Adam noted hearing what seemed to be a comotion from afar, this in turn causing him to get worried.

Robin stopped and put her hand tracing her back scars to the side once she saw Nicol come in. "Y-yeah, Nicol I'm fine...more or less." She said, muttering the last part. "Just an intruding emissary walking in on me s-showering..." She explained, staring at Raphael by this. "Oh...you can look, I'm covered." She added.

"Oh I can?" Nicol said, still hesitantly lifting his hand away as he looked towards Robin. He finally noticed Raphael. "What are you doing here?"

Raphael simply ignored Nicol, staring at Robin. "Are you dismissing me?"

--

Aya gritted her teeth, walking forward. "Metzli. Metzli, it's me... it's Aya..."

--

Sayloren smirked a bit. "I've got all I need to eat right here," she winked at Sky.

"W-what?" Robin said, purely confused now. "Yes...no! Y-you walked in on my s-showering! You're not s-suppose to do that!" She explained, her cheeks heating up to the colour of a tomato.

Drew sighed. "Figures a child would throw a tantrum when they can't have their toys." He muttered under his breath.

"Not like i'd have much choice in the matter, so i suppose i'll lend you my strength once more." He said rather coldly while crossing his arms

"I don't know who you're talking about, but... My name is Blair Corvus. You've got the wrong person.." Even when saying this, Blair herself seemed a little uncertain. "...Should I know you?"

-

Sky immediately felt her face ignite in a blush at that comment, subconsciously pressing her back into the wall. "Anything y-you want, b-besides me?"

"There you heard her, now come out with me and let her shower," Nicol said towards Raphael, walking in between him and Robin.

"All right," Adam nodded his head before beginning to run towards the direction of the noise. After some running and sneaking around he eventually was able to find the spot Aya was in, only to see her standing with someone that resembled Metzli, causing Adam to stare at the person in shock. "Is that Metzli?"
