Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was a slow moving process, repairing such damage. There was only enough time for a few strikes between each heating. Precision was constantly needed, as to not burn the steel or crack it carelessly. Every knick in the blade had to smoothed, flatened, and be sharpened later. If choosing his own pace, he could have easily spent a month honing the weapon to perfection, but fate would not allow. In the rush, he depended on the old soul inside it to prevent any undue mistakes to befall the sword as its form was restored. "Is it really so interesting to watch someone work on such a task?" Saradin's question was out of the blue as a spontaneous thought was given words. However, he remained focused and the question ended with a loud ring as the hammer struck again.

After finding the map and observing it for quite some time, Johanna walked back to the Great Hall, ringing the water out of her hair. She looked around slowly again. "Is anybody here?" she wondered aloud in a low, almost robotic sounding monotone. At first sight of this mansion, she knew that this would be a better home than her creator's lab.

Dagan was fast asleep in his father's bed as a figure descended through the open window from the sky. The armored man looked down upon the boy, blue eyes shining and a grin going across his face. His rather large sword was gone, replaced by a long shining needle-like weapon, more like a rapier of some kind. He steps quietly out of the room, energetic wings retreating into his body and his hair changing from jet blue to brown. Ryo was finally back.

Ryo had felt movement in the Great Hall, his senses were at their peak with his newfound self. He follows the footsteps he felt present in the hall towards the fireplace, seeing a figure by it. "Seems we have a new guest...." His expression was blank and emotionless, he seemed just so "blah" at the moment. Serious, perhaps? It could not be told even by the most sophisticated psychologist.

Ryo coughs loudly, expecting the figure to have given him its attention before when he spoke. "I'm sorry...perhaps I was a tad bit too quiet. Greetings. The name is Ryo Kasami. Whom may you be?" His emotionless face turned for the better, a slight grin appearing upon his face.

"Yes...it has been a while. This one, I do not know of." Ryo sounded oddly proper in his speech. Sure he would say Miss and Sir before someone's name, but propper grammar in all sentences? It was easy to see he had changed, internally. Externally, he seemed normal though he had new-gained powers.

Aura blinked at the girl, who had introduced herself as Johanna. "Well that's rather proper..." She looked to Ryo. "You too...did I miss a memo on proper speech?"

"Wow, seems like more of my kind are coming here...ruined experiments and such." Ryo coughs, laughing a bit knowing his rudeness, and his past self was awakening from within. "Like I said, I am Ryo. A pleasure to meet you Miss Johanna." He offers a hand of friendship, the seathe of his Needle of Light sticking out in the open from his side. He seemed to ignore Aura's comment.
