He felt his face freeze at the last part, the air around him actually crystallizing from his reaction, only for a less than a blink. Only the constructs, the higher end tainted, and those actually a host, would be aware it happened, but he made no note of it. It was simply a reaction to his temper flaring. For a brief moment, he wasn't in the hallway to the throne room, he was back on the Faerie, Verdelet's constructs exploding in the background, Kyuubi's blood on his arms and leg, as he supported the dying kitsune, pouring energy into his family, trying to heal him even as he died despite his actions. He shook his head, before taking a deep breath, and banishing the memory, concealing it hadn't been an intended group activity. "A gift, of your name sake's last moment. And the kitsune were mine. We will have to discuss that belief later. I doubt we will be allowed... No, I will say no more, and let it play out as it will."<br/><br/>He blurred slightly as the door opened, a flicker of a smile on his face as he entered the room, and glanced about, idly noting a single, specific female twelve tailed kitsune in the crowd. He felt his heart soar a fraction, before focusing on his old friend, idly noting he was doing his best to conceal the barest shadows of traces of idle amusement, due to his actions in the time reset ability. He then normally approached the throne, and spoke in the language that had been used for formal greetings in their first lives that either would recall. "Barid, old ally, oldest friend. I have returned. To greet you, and get my wife out of the Court before she stops amusing you."
