*Ciri stands next to Taeria smiling.*
Ciri: Vitani is back inside Tae!

*Joalia shakes her head and keeps trying to move*
*Starts sweating*

~

*Maiev smiles slightly, then goes back to practicing*
M: I was thinking, what if I lost my magic? So, I thought I'd get back to being good with this.

~

*Izy smiles, then goes to the couches, from which Lyr has mysteriously disappeared from*
I'm sure you will.

~

*Lyr is out in the forest, being peaceful for once*

*Rita nods, and sits close to Izriel.*
Rita: That is a promise... Where is Lyr? Usually see her watching Tv.
*She shrugs, then hugs Izriel.*

----
*Rt watches Lyr from the shadows, his demonic eye studying her.*
*He remains relatively silent for a giant demon robot.*

I don't know...Probably out on a walk.
*Puts an arm around Rita, and flicks on the TV*

~

*Lyr doesn't notice anything out of the ordinary, and just moves through the woods, picking up a few different flowers on the way*

*She sits down and cries*
Vitani: I... I couldn't fight him off..
*She pulls at Taeria's hair*
Vitani: Im sorry..

*Ciri turns to Taeria/Vitani, and grabs her hands to stop the pulling of her hair.*
Ciri: Vitani.. please it is okay..
*She gives her a gentle hug.*
Ciri: Please... don't ever fight my battles for me... I don't ever want you to get hurt... or worse. Please... listen to me.

----
*Rita put her head on Izriel's lap, and watches Tv.*


----
*Rt stomps after Lyr, trying to keep to the shadows.*
Rt: {These are my woods.}

*Izy keeps watching TV, and stroking her head and hair*

~

*Lyr doesn't turn around, and keeps picking flowers*
And who might you be?
*Not scared, but more curious*

Vitani... It's... It's my fault.... I wasn't able to help. Don't blame yourself.

*Vitani snarls with slight anger*
Vitani: No!... I lost my temper... I'm sorry Nick..

Don't blame yourself, Vitani. Please... It's my fault.

*Ciri sighs.*
Ciri: Please... whats done is done..stop fighting.. if anything this is my fault sense he was after me.
*Hangs head with shame.*

----
*Rita smiles happily, and watches the Tv.*

----
*Rt stomps from the shadow towards Lyr.*
Rt: {I am a old friend...}
*A sick metallic chuckle escapes his throat.*
Rt: {You must know I am also a close friend of Rita's... is she about?}

Vitani: I dont want to be here...
*Vitani gets up and Taeria resurfaces*
Taeria: Oh no..

*Lyr tilts her head slightly*
Ah, you must be RT. The changed titan. Yeah, she's around, probs chilling with my girl. Why, you wanna chat to her?
*Tries to put the flowers in a safe spot so they don't get damaged during the inevitable fight*

~

*Izy can't shake the feeling some shindig is going down somewhere*

*Ciri frowns at Vitani's departure.*
Ciri: Is she okay Tae?

---
*Rt makes a low grinding sound.*
Rt: {Yes... a chat... would you help me fallen angel?}
*He takes another step closer.*
Rt: {WE need to become one... it is the only way for us to be whole..then I can help her... accomplish our goals..}
*A grinding laugh escapes him.*

*Lyr tilts her head again*
And what might that goal be? And haven't you tried thinking if she's happy, or not? Cause from what I saw, she's pretty intent where she is.
*Crosses arms and stands ground*

*Commissar puts Tae down and blushes*

Erm... Sorry, Tae...

*Rt demonic shoulder shrug.*
Rt: {Her happiness is irrelevant, only our goals matter.}
*He chuckles again.*
Rt: {When we are one... she will find new happiness...}

Taeria: She needs time... She hasn't been in my body for a while.. I'll be sleeping alone tonight... for her sake..
*Taeria looks between CN and Ciri with a torn expression in her eyes *

*Commissar nods*

Understandibly so... Uhm... Tae... I think Vitani would want this, then.

*Commissar takes the sketchbook out of his jacket and holds it out to Tae*

Rrrright...I'll be going now, that alright?
*Backs away, somewhat creeped out by the chuckle*

*Taeria takes a look at the art*
Taeria: No.. Take care of all of her possessions.. She trusted the most..

Alright... Er... Can I speak with Vitani?

*Ciri lip quivers slightly,and her eyes look pained, but she nods.*
Ciri: O...Okay... I'll sleep on the couch tonight...
*She stands there awkwardly for a moment.*
Ciri: I-I should go.. I have.. stuff to do..
*Ciri turns and walks away, not really having any place to go.*

---
*Rt chuckles again.*
Rt: {I thought you were willing to help?}
*He draws his massive demonic blade.*
Rt: {Why won't you help a old friend?}

*Taeria grabs Ciri's arm*
Taeria: You will sleep in our bed, my love. I will occupy myself with other things..
*Taeria kisses Ciri on the cheek then turns to CN*
Taeria: I can try to make her come out....
//"He wants t-to speak with you..."//
*Vitani reappears and looks at CN*
Vitani: I'm here..

V... Vitani it's... So good to hear from you. I... I thought I lost you forever.

*A dark presence watches Nick and Vitani, from a plane higher than ours. The only trace of its existence is a faint shadow cast on the ceiling*

*Vitani hugs CN tightly*
Vitani: It's cold.. I'm trapped. But at least I get to see you...
*Vitani sighs calmly*

*Lyr summons her scythe for protection, then backs away to the flowers*
I have to be somewhere, but I think I'll help you another time, that cool?
*Grabs the flowers, and stuffs them into armour*
*Still readyish for a fight*

I'll try to get you out, Vitani... I'll try and get you so you're only you again. Even if it means sacrifcing part of myself. I promise.

*Santiago shakes his head and wipes the sweat off of Joalia*
S: I'll get you a damp towel. Just please, don't get yourself hurt.
*kisses Joalia's forehead and heads into the bathroom to grab a towel*

*Kara nods*
K: It's smart. But why would you lose your magic?
