Akira grabs 'Guo by the tunic and stared into his eyes with her solid orange eye. "Did you just call me 'sir,' Greeny?" Angrily, she clenches her hand around his wrist and slams it against her chest. "Feel that, bub?! I am NOT a 'sir,' thank you very much!" Her eyebrows un-furrow with a huge eruption of laughter. She was just tall enough to let go of his wrist and tunic to throw her arm around his shoulders. "No worries, hun. Happens all the time."
Her gaze turns to Vash. "Well... I'm not entirely sure on you, Vash. But Kelcia trusts you. In the future, I want the full story on this. I didn't know Lunar Knights existed... But... what about that little armless girl sleeping on the ground over there? Is she with you? She... I think she's sleeping. At least I hope she is." He turns her head to look at the girl she had mentioned, who was passed out on the ground in a deep sleep.

'Guo's eyes widened and his face froze up as Akira threw an arm over his shoulder. His jaw was slightly agape, and his apparent anger at Vash had disappeared, only to be replaced with embarrassment as his cheeks flushes solid red, at that very moment, Zhen Anguo wished the gods would just smite him there and then.
"Brother Ping!" a fifteen year old 'Guo called as his brother walked past his room, Ping ducked his head back in, his tall spikey hair, and the thick eyebrows shares by everyone on the family, poking round the door frame. "Yeah, Brother Anguo?" 'Guo smiled at his brother. "Congratulations on coming home... Pa told me about Cai!" Ping blushes as 'Guo sidled up to him and elbowed him in the ribs lightly. "Alright caterpillar brows, spill it, how did you hook her?" He gave his older brother a wink. Ping just stuttered for a moment.
"To get a girl... You just... Um... Well...NEVER TOUCH THEIR CHEST. TRUST ME."
Never touch their chest. Trust me.
'Guo's eyes widened further as his hand limply fell away from Akira's chest. "Never touch their chest. Trust me..." He muttered. "I just... How did... What will... I can't... What even... Does this mean... I don't... What... I..."
With that, his eyes fluttered closed, and he fell to the floor.

Akira nearly jumped when the man fell. "Woah! What?!" She yells in surprise. She looks at his fainted body and taps his knee with the toe of her boot. "Is, uh... this dude okay?" She asks Vash hesitantly, and confused. "He acts like he's never felt a woman's chest before... Is he always that shy?"

I blinked, then laughed.
"My student grew up a bit sheltered; he's a monk, ma'am."[/i] The dark mood which had suddenly fallen lifted. "I really doubt he has." I grinned. "Especially considering his reaction..."

Akira blinked a couple times. And then she burst into laughter again. "Oh man! A monk?! That... That is hilarious!" She slows her laugh, crouching down beside him. Patting his hair for a moment, lifting his body to a sitting position. Then taking his arm over her shoulder, she rises up, her arm around his waist to support him standing in his state of unconsciousness. "Right, right... Let's figure out what we're doing. Should we grab the unconscious red-head?"

"I'll take Rin," I told her with a smile, "if you'll take 'Guo. We can rest in the next town." I knelt next to the sleeping girl, tenderly taking her into my arms. "I have some supplies to pick up, anyway,"[/i] I said with a chuckle, nodding towards my coatless - not to mention shirtless - figure. "I can't go back to the others like this; I don't want Shin to start burning things the minute I get within ten yards of them. With some time, I can recreate the limiters destroyed in the blast, and we can discuss the 'whole story'. Besides... Rin and 'Guo have fought hard today. They need their rest."[/i]

Akira nods once in agreement. "Alright, fine. And on the way, you can tell me about these... Lunar Knights." She sighs, spitting her cigarette into her free hand, pocketing it quickly. "I'm curious now... If you exist, then it might be worth knowing about you. How about over some sake?" She smiles a bit as Kelcia trots alongside Vash in her little skip-walk.

I smiled at her. "Only if you tell me why Kelci sounds like she's right next to me," I told her. "And what that eye patch is hiding."

Akira and Kelcia both smile to each other. "Thaaaat would be because she is right next to you." Kelcia giggles that adorable, childish giggle, and Akira just smiles a bit more.
"And... my eyepatch? Dunno why you care about that..." Her voice trailed off. "But I see no harm. Take it off for me? I don't wanna drop this guy."

"So, you can see her," I murmured. "Little sis, what have you been up to?" But the power I felt from Akira's eye gave me a good idea. Managing Rin, I reached up and pulled the eyepatch away from her face, to reveal a mismatched eye, ice blue and marked with Kelcia's Lunar Mark, glowing faintly and resonating with the same vibe as the Crystal in the crossbar of my new weapon.
"You've been busy," I remarked towards Kelcia. "Yet you still haven't told her any of what she needs to know..."[/i]

Kelcia gives an uncomfortable smile. "Well... you know. She was a little girl. It was so fun just playing, Vashy! I lost sight of it! But it's ay-okay! You can do it now for me!" A mischievous smile replaces the playful one.
Akira looks at Vash in a confused, curious manner. "Is... something wrong?" Her normally-concealed right eye was a solid ice-blue color. There was no pupil, but the Lunar Mark in its place, taking up much space. Both eyes glimmered with curiosity. She'd never paid much mind to her eye. She really only kept it concealed because people liked to stare at it...

I shok my head, redistributing Rin's weight.
"Nothing at all," I told her, "though Kelcia should have told you a few things sooner. Like, for example, what all she's done to your eye. It's blue, and has the symbol, because that's simply where Kelcia Marked you. All Lunars have a Mark, and all Knights gain that mark somewhere on their bodies as a sign of the Lunar's favor. But... it's not the only thing that's special about your eye."[/b]
I sighed, smiled. I really couldn't stay mad at Kelci, for some reason; probably a combination of her cheerful demeanor and the fact that she had been one of the first three of my kind I had ever met.

Kelcia shrugs and skips a few steps ahead. "It was wayy more interesting than just talking to her. Besides, not all Knights get to play with their Spirits everyday, Vashy! It was really fun, you know!"
Akira raises both eyebrows in curiosity. "Wait, they don't? After all this, I figured everyone did... What's so special about my eye, then?" Her voice almost mimicked Kelcia's tone with curiosity in place of cheerfulness.

"You've probably never met anyone else who could see or hear her, have you?"[/i] I asked, but I didn't wait for her answer before continuing. "That's because Kelcia isn't really here. Most Lunars are merely souls, bound to special vessels floating high above the planet, in the image of our Mothers, Ketuluna."[/i] I shook the new form of my cross, emphasizing the slightly glowing crystal in the center. "Special Crystals bind our souls to Allorum; generally, only a Lunar's Knight can hear their voice, and they can only meet in dreams. But... with a Crystal... greater things are possible. Kelcia's Crystal is hidden, metaphorically speaking, in your eye; you can see her as if she's really here, because you're acting as a channel and binding her to your side."[/i]

'Guo could feel his feet being dragged along the floor, and his eyes flickered for a moment before closing again. He was mumbling lightly under his breath, but none of it was really audible, it more just sounded like irregular breathing that anything else. As they continued onwards, 'Guo could hear muffled voices speaking to one another, as if in response, he picked up the volume himself.
"Don't... Don't ever d-do that... Th-that is, well... Never... It's... Good? No... Not good... Yeah, not good... Better to not... Do... That... Because it's not... Yeah, not... Not good... Never good..."
His chest slowly started heaving as his eyes shut closed again. It seems he had fallen asleep again... That is until...
"ZZZZZzzzzzZZZZZ"
