Watching Jaku disappear under the water, Kellus sits back and starts to take off his gear, piece by piece.  First removing a rolled-up piece of leather, he begins to carefully lay out his other equipment into it, before rolling up the entire package and tying it shut with a thin strip of leather.  That done, he reaches behind him and unbuckles, then pulls off what looks like a vest, leaving him with a thin undershirt obviously meant more as padding than as actual clothing.  His bracers and greaves follow, and Kellus stacks everything neatly off to the side.<br/><br/>Underneath everything, his physique is more akin to that of a swimmer or runner rather than a bodybuilder; although he doesn’t look physically imposing, there doesn’t appear to be any fat anywhere on his body, only lean muscle.  Traces of what look like tattoos emerge from the short sleeves of his shirt, but it isn’t obvious what they’re meant to be, as the bulk of the design looks to be underneath the shirt itself.<br/><br/>Looking over at Arkain while he puts out the fire, he seems more interested in the manner in which he puts out the water.  “Well, it looks like we’re all more than just what you see on the surface, huh?”  However, his voice trails off as Jaku emerges from the pool of water; the water did wonders for her appearance.  More than just getting rid of the dirt and grime that she had been covered in, she looks revitalized, and Kellus has never seen something quite like her before.<br/><br/>Standing as she comes closer, he turns to face her directly.  “I wanted to apologize for what I did earlier, both to you and Arkain.  At the time, I was working on…flawed information, and it led to me doing things that I sincerely regret.”  His voice hardens as he continues, “And if we run into the Colonel and the Chimera Group again, I’ll be sure to thank them personally for all of those lies.”<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Sorry about the delay, the past week sorta blew up on me.</div></div></div>
