Aqua stood placidly to greet Ether, much resembling a humanized form of a small, calm pond, that was completely undisturbed.  Her pleasant smile welcomed him in, purple and sapphire eyes still somewhat fascinated with his gascious form.  His species was one of the few that could relate to how much peace and joy the T'Leians felt when liquid.  It was no wonder their ancestors had found themselves easy allies.<br/><br/>The holy woman listened to her companion's words carefully as they played out in her mind, her eyes meeting his so she could fully understand his emotional state.  Her friend's pain was evident, and she could feel it in her very soul, imagining what it would have felt like to have her homeworld destroyed.  Just the thought was nearly too much to bare.<br/><br/>Ether turned to his solid form before her.  Aqua found his appearance still enchanting, just in a different way.  Solid, his visage was more the like of an uncut diamond, sturdy and  strong but with numerous hints at the magic and wonder that lie beneath a more ordinary surface.  Solidity had its advantages.  With a clear sympathetic expression on her face, Aqua reached out and placed a dewy soft hand on his gray shoulder for a moment before he became ethereal once more.<br/><em><br/>"Ether, my dear friend, do not give any worry for my safety.  You have already saved me and my vessel once, only please allow me to return such a favor."</em>Her words, like his, were projected into his mind, melodic as if she were speaking them.<em>"If this is indeed the creature who destroyed your world he must be stopped, and I will aid you in every way I can to bring him down.  After all, none will be safe if such a creature is allowed to continue its destruction."</em>Her hand met his and she moved to stand along side him.<em>"Let us return together." </em>
