Thomas shook his head and looked upon each piece of gear with a keen eye and found one that offered protection against physical attacks, something he needed.  He looked up at Hitomi who was making evil eyes at him and shook his head as he passed her the bag.  "You have no right to be mad at me Hit...this is just as much your fault as mine.  Let's just do what we can and keep ourselves from dying alright?  I would rather not see my family die because of a mistake I made."  Thomas walked out in a huff past Xan and ran his hands over the columns angrily and was about to blast one when he thought of the reprocuitions and looked back to the dark room.<em>Why is everything so fucking dark...it's not like it would have been anyless forboding if it looked normal.</em>Shrugging his shoulders Thomas walked on, found his room and packed what little belongings he had into a small burlap sack and waited for Hitomi to come in as well.<br/><br/>"So...I gave you the crystal Hit...what does it say right now and where should we head first?  I have maps if you'd like to check."  He said quietly as he looked around the room.  Would things ever be the same again?  Could he come back even after this was done or was he just being made into a tool for them to throw away once this was all finished?  He didn't know, didn't care it was his only hope and God damnit he wouldn't fail this time.
