Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dameon gave a slight shrug as he sat, not to anyone in particular but mostly in response to Karin's determination to do as her brother insisted. As Contay and Sirence stood, Dameon worked his way up to his feet, careful not to disturb his sister. He was still radiating a great amount of heat but it wasn't all that uncommon for him, just now it was much more purposeful and controlled. In his own head he cursed that which would put his sister in such a state, the night in general, the moon, he felt anger at it all. Sighing he breathed out his frustration for the moment. Turning to Justice he offered her a hand up, managing to hold his sister in his other arm.

Justice eyed Dameon before taking his hand and getting up. "You're being rather courteous today, Dameon." She remarked as she started in the direction of the oasis. "Are you in a particularly good mood?"

((I suppose we can just go straight back to the mountains? Let me know if that's not okay...))

*Contay didn't have much to say... or anything really more then she had said before they left.* "On the eastern side of the second tallest mountain is where I left the crystals we need... That is also were we will likely find Glenmark, my brother." *Contay stopped half way up the first mountain and turned to face Justice straight on.* "I need you to listen very closely for a moment... this is the difference between living past today and helping us... and becoming useless and dying very shortly. I understand you have no reason to believe me or do as I ask but we DO need your help. If my brother is there, under no circumstances do you make contact with him. He is the son of the god we are expelling from this world tomorrow and if he touches you, skin to skin, he will have control of you. Do not touch him and everything should be fine..." *Contay let out the rest of her breath and waited for Justice's reaction/response*

With that Contay turned on her heel and began to walk again up the mountain. "I ask nothing of the wars to come, only of tomorrow's battle."

Contay had little else to say, she felt that was all that needed to be said. She led the way, as she often did and she was pleased that Justice didn't slow her down, it was important to get back to the oasis as soon as possible. After they reached the top of the first mountain the rest seemed much easier. "Not much farther... just over that ridge and around the side a little, there is a tree standing by itself, the crystals are beneath its branches..."

However once Contay reached to tip of the ridge she saw not just her pile of crystals but her brother sitting atop them like the king of some treasure. "Ah, just the man I was looking for!" She said loudly before giving Justice a weary glance and proceeding toward him.

"Really? That's unusual. Did you miss me?" He asked in a mocking tone. "And what's this? Did you enlist a new body guard after your last one died to some country rat?" Glenmark looked more smug then usual, he knew something he wasn't sharing, but also by his words he did not know that Sirence was still alive.

Contay ignored the blows and lies floating between them and continued with the point. "I'd like those crystals at your feet, as well as your handsome self to come with me."

"You're not even a little mad about that general of yours? I thought you loved him, too."Glenmark seemed to be more talking to himself now then Contay or Justice. "And you will keep your promise then?"

"Of course." Contay replied quietly.

Glenmark's eyes suddenly snapped to Justice. "Well, my love(Contay flinched at the words), are you going to introduce me to your new tag-along?"

"Justice, this is Glenmark, my brother." Contay paused as Glenmark approached them casually. "Brother, this is Justice."

"What an interesting name... Is it self given or inherited?" Glenmark said while removing the glove from his right hand. "Reguardless it is a pleasure to meet you, Justice." He put his hand out to shake hers.

Glenmark retracted his hand with a small glare which quickly vanished behind his Princely mask. "Well that is odd. It is not like you to recruit someone you don't know inside and out, my dear love." Glenmark's eyes flickered to Contay for only a second, his attention remained mostly on Justice as though she were a most interesting book.

Each time he refers to Contay as 'love' she flinched like a she had taken a deep blow but couldn't show it. She recovered and changed the topic. "We shall be taking those crystals... we don't have much time left." She walked past him and started to pick up some of the fist-sized crystals. "Tomorrow. Dawn. Outside the farthest gates of the city. Be there with whatever you need, brother."

Glenmark flinched slightly at Contay's emphasis but recovered quickly with his charming smile spread about his face. "What interesting eyes you have... eyes for quick weapons. May I see?" Glenmark asked with a gesture to the katana.

"Justice, help me carry these back please." Contay asked casually as she hefted several more crystals on to her bent arm. She payed no attention to Glenmark, almost as though he did not exist any longer.

"Thank you Justice..." Contay whispered before she stood up and bagan walking back. She gave Glenmark a slight nod of respect, "See you at dawn, brother. Don't forget, and don't be late." She waiting for Justice before continuing back down the mountain, and off to the Oasis.
