"Why? Well, he's probably embarrassed I would guess... But the best kind if information stems from the source... Why not ask him?" *Across the water? She had never traveled on a boat before... Did she even know how to swim? Hearing what he said a little to himself, she blinked curiously and looked over to him before the realization hit. It made her smile. After they were done with their meal she would start to clean up... Roku and Theias would more or less be heading off.* "Do you have everything? Are you sure? Roku, you have your notepad? Alright.." *She wrung her hands nervously... Did she know how to fetch them if she needed help? She expected them to tun into trouble via the boys wings. Right as Roku was leaving she'd hold out a hand* "Ah, what do I say? Be..." *Safe. On the outside she would wish them a safe trip until the door closed, then she was just a worrisome parent.

She occupied herself with cleaning, organizing, fidgeting, pacing... Should she follow? Would they really be ok? She had developed a nervous habit of biting her fingernails... One she had only just aquired via the past events that transpired.*

*Puffed her cheeks out as she said to ask the main source of information, she smiles and ask him but all he gives is another petty Hmpf! A taste of her own medicine when she is petty with ai for having to eat brains, she gasped softly as the realization hit her but she would not say a single word about it.* `"I have everything!"` *She says happily as she ties the ribbon around theias wrist and headed to the door, happily she turned and faces ai and hugs her* `"Be safe I know mom I love you."` *She runs over and hugs Faedon nearly tackling him over. Before running off with Theias Theias also had bowed his head and thanked them for everything before he headed off with Roku*

*Felt the umpf of Roku hugging him tightly he gasped slightly and chuckled gently petting her head and hugging her back* `"Oh be safe little one, don't stay out for to long! You know come back before the sun comes up. Theias if she has a scratch on her it's me and you."` *He points to him and nods with a soft chuckle turning to ai he helps her clean up, he was a little buzzed but not drunk he would stop drinking to respect ai's wishes and pick up a cup of water as he began to drink it trying to sober up it wouldn't be long either before he does.*

`"My love don't worry to much how about this if they aren't back within 3 hours you can get a sneak peak and make sure there alright hm?"` 

*He walks over after cleaning up everything with her and gently hugs her from behind pulling her into him grinding against her a bit* 

`"We have more time to ourselves my love, tell me do you want to know anything about me, I don't think I told you much or anything about my history, I never asked for yours either is it best it stays that way?"` 

*He moved his hands over her waist and gently holds her rubbing his cheek against hers*

"I love you-" *But they had already gone* "..Too..." *She gently clutched onto the hem of her dress as her eyes fell to the floor in contemplation.* "She's... She's all we have my love.." *She turned to face him before looking back to the door* "I worry... She's still learning. What if she makes a mistake?" *Wrapping her arms around his own, she held a worried expression in her face. The sudden change in gears however, made her tilt her head back to look at him.* "We never... Had the time... We were always running.." *Biting her bottom lip momentarily, she slowly turned to face him and placed her palms agaisnt his chest.* "What... Was your mother like? What advice would she give to you now... Do you think she would have approved of me?.." 

*Glancing out the window, she had an idea* "Would you fancy a walk with me?" *She didn't know her way around... But a walk to a romantic place where they could talk might be a good way to relieve the tension she had about Roku being out in her own.* "I know that-" *How should she put this delicately* "When I first met you... You were... Seeking redemption. What were you like as a boy? How did you come to be in that position..." *Look at how they raised Roku. Was there no love from his family?*
Joseph
`"She is however we have kept her coddled for 6 months being gone for like a few hours shouldn't be to hard for her only because the angel is with her. If she was alone I would have never let her leave without someone we trust. If she is in the process of making a mistake I trust theias to correct her, he seems submissive... For a boy But he also give off the impression of a well mannered and respectful boy."` *He looks at her worried expression and understood why she was so worried he was to quite frankly. As she looked back at him and turned to face him as her palms pressed against his chest he smiles softly*

*Listening to her words he thought for a few moments.* `"I'll tell you on the walk my love, perhaps we should walk along the river bed beside the water hm? Hopefully we don't get lost on our way there."` *He boops her nose with a chuckle.* `"I was seeking to find a way to carry the burden of killing other's. It wasn't the killing of other people that bothered me it was the weight of what I had done after the fact that burdened me and I searched for a way to alleviate that burden."` *He nods as she asked what was he like as a boy* `"I was a relatively normal boy, In an ok part of the city, it wasn't to rich but not poor still had food on the table every few days didn't eat everyday though. I was rebellious as ever."` *As he thought back he began to smile more the more he thought about his childhood* `"I had to steal bread or I'd go hungry, my father used me as a pawn to help payoff his debts, going to restaurants cleaning, working for free delivering things little time to play. However i was able to save money to buy a book the red flame book, it brought me comfort at the time as I also saved enough money for a wooden sword to practice."` 

*He gently took her hand as he began to walk to the carriage door and open it before leading her down the stairs closing the door behind them to speak again* `"I didn't have much time to play like normal children."`

`"I had to work hard, anytime I messed up I got a beating with either sticks, or steel rods, it was called Ishin corrective treatment to those called bad kids."` *He nods* `"I was like 14 when my father sold me to the fighting pits to make money, from me fighting other kids my age, who's parents also pawned off to pay debts, I was there until I was 17 took three years to pay off my father's debts. Took more then a couple beatings"` *He laughed softly rubbing the back of his head* `"There were some moments where people were overly cruel, there is this tradition or, culture norm, where for the warrior's or future warrior's in the fighting pits to become swordsman, which I became a blood flame swordsman after I paid debts, where we are groomed to become a warrior, it is quite brutal, where men lay with there subordinates to show dominance of the authority over there subordinates often older men and established warriors do that to the younger warrior's, until they graduate training they practiced it anytime one became hard to control."` *He still kept a smile as he walked.*
