FilFire squats on the ground, absently sharpening his claws against each other.

F: "It wasn't directly their fault...."

K: "...But your connection to them helped make things go bad."

F: "You approached that human without proper caution...."

K: "....Because you believed that since it was all Institute related things it would be fine."

F: "Apparently, it did not play out that way."

K: "As long as you stay connected to the Institute you'll see them as non-hostile..."

F: "....Which makes it easier for them to do something hostile towards you, because you won't see it coming."

K: "And Hinderance and the others are all part of the Institute..."

F: "....Which means that if you stay in contact with them you'll stay in contact with the Institute...."

K: "....And, as we said, it seems that staying connected to the Institute is more of a liability than that it helps."

F: "The fact that the human could plan all this out without the organization he works for even noticing the slightest thing...."

K: "....Shows that something like this could happen again....."

F: "....Because even if you admit that you can't blame the Institute for not noticing..."

K: "....Which, to be honest, we do not...."

F: "....That doesn't remove the fact that it did and can happen."

K: "We really would have liked it if we could have a good relationship with the Institute..."

F: "....But mutual distrust is not going to let that happen."

They both look at her, seemingly not noticing that they've been switching speaker in mid-sentence.

Reshaya stood slightly further away from FilFire and Kuroi for a bit trying to come up with a counter argument. "However, with Trevlious taken care of and no one to claim him for martyrdom including that his research was recovered and destroyed it would take much longer for something like this to repeat itself." Reshaya knew it wasn't exactly the most air tight argument, but she had to say something. "And....and I just had a really good day with my mother ok? Can't I just stay until she passes? She has a limited lifespan, unlike us or Hinderance......I want to be there for her in her later years how am I to do that separated from her?" Tears formed in Reshaya's eyes, but she kept them in. "I love you both with all my heart, but mum shares the same spot as your guys. I don't want to have to choose between you and her."

Kuroi shakes her head.

K: "Not as long as you think."

F: "These humanoids have short lifespans."

K: "And as response to that they're much more busy than us immortals."

F: "Since they want to do as much as they can in the short time they have."

K: "Your mother is not that old yet."

F: "By the time she's near death those humanoids will probably have tried something like this many times."

K: "We know you love her, but if we wait that long to break the connection."

F: "With the Institute, there's too much risk of things going wrong again."

K: "We also don't want you to choose between us and the others."

F: "But if that's necessary to keep you safe we will."

K: "However, if we are careful we could let them visit you from time to time."

F: "As long as they don't damage the biome. That would piss Ryu off."

K: "As for you being there in her later years...."

F: "Humanoids can't travel well when they're old."

K: "And we doubt that she would like living in the biome the last years of her life."

F: "Since she would likely get too lonely there without the civilization humanoids always crave."

Reshaya just looks at the two and sighs. "So I am more or less under house arrest until its deemed safe? A very large and personally constructed ever changing house, but similar principles none the less." Reshaya looks towards Dulcina's room for a bit before turning back. "Do I get to visit from time to time? Or is that out of the question too?" FilFire and Kuroi would be able to feel Reshaya getting frustrated with them, but she was trying to be understanding of their point of view as well. "If not...can I at least come back in maybe 20 year or 30 years time and stay with her until she passes on then? Or again is there to be no compromise?" Reshaya tone was still slightly on the annoyed side, but she was still being remarkably less crazy about the whole thing.

FilFire and Kuroi both shake their heads collectively.

F: "It's not like that."

K: "We're not going to keep you there against your will."

F: "And there are plenty of other worlds we can freely go to."

K: "It's more that we would prefer it if any area under control of the Institute of War would be considered hostile territory."

F: "Since about every person on this world who could pose any real threat ends up at the Institute."

K: "That way we automatically drastically reduce the chance of things going wrong."

F: "We wouldn't have anything against you also having fun with the others here."

K: "Except that they're all tied to the Institute, and don't want to let go themselves."

F: "Some kind of crack-brained idea that the Institute is actually a good thing and that we're the bad guys for opposing it."

Kuroi throws a glare at FilFire before continuing.

K: "As for visiting, we don't object to that."

F: "Much. Although we would prefer breaking all ties."

K: "We understand that for you that would be a bit too hard."

F: "We've also talked with them about this."

K: "And they've agreed with building a new residence somewhere."

F: "At a place where the Institute is not as prominent. I mean seriously, this thing is right in the middle of it."

K: "The point is that we want to make you have as little interaction with the Institute as possible."

F: "Unfortunately, thanks to these guys all being part of the Institute."

K: "We most likely have to change that from 'not at all' to 'very little, and only with a couple of specific people'."

Reshaya still frowns, but in the end just gives up. "Alright, however this is on the condition that I still get visiting rights. If you stayed on not at all I would not have gone along with it." Reshaya took another look at Dulcina's room and then at Cassandra's. "I suppose no long goodbyes then......." Reshaya was saddened by having to leave like this, but took a deep breath before looking at the two. "Alright lets go then......." Reshaya threw open a rift back the biome and walked through without looking back. FilFire and Kuroi would see she wasn't happy with them at the moment.

FilFire nods.

F: "We knew that, otherwise we would have pushed for that one."

K: "We're really sorry for this."

F: "We just don't want to risk endangering you if we can prevent it."

When Reshaya walks through the rift FilFire and Kuroi look at each other, then follow her, FilFire leaving a scrabbled piece of paper behind.

Equiste is still asleep when Cassandra eventually wakes up, his body curled around her snuggling into her, still with his pants on. He has a smile on his face, his head close to hers.

Dulcina sleeps soundly as Hinderance and 'Dulcina' lay next to her, 'Dulcina smiling to hinderance, her body wrapped around him. "Mmm, wow... THat was amazing..." She said, tracing a hand on his chest.

Cassandra woke up refreshed and smiled happily with Equiste in her arms. Remembering what she told Equiste last night she slowly slid down under the sheets and gave him his morning present. She would make sure Equiste would wake up even more satisfied.

Hinderance smiled happily his own hands around 'Dulcina' as well. He gives her a playful kiss and hugs her lovingly. "It was....that was one heck of an experience...Now the question is....do we keep going?"Hinderance chuckled a bit before absently feeling 'Dulcina's watery form that felt exactly like Dulcina's. 'Hindrence' continued to snuggle with Dulcina as she slept making sure she was sleeping in a comfortable temperature whilst supporting her skeletal structure in a way that would let her wake up feeling even more relaxed.

Equiste's hands weakly grasped at Cassandra as she manauvered herself, before settling back down again. He awoke with a start, letting out a plesurable moan as he looked to see the top half of Cassandra in the sheets.
"Oooh wow... You... could of... woke me up... first..." He said, laying there moaning plesurably.

"Mmm, I think that sounds like a wonderful idea. Can I join in?" Dulcina said with a smile, her arm going around 'Hinderance'. 'Dulcina' couldn't help but chuckle.
"I would say that is a yes..."
