"Not much." Takano explains. "I'm just getting everything set to leave the city and take Rena with me." Before Lillith can escape, Takano catches her in a bone-breaking hug. "I'll miss you so much Lilly." She uses one of her arms to catch Kenny by the sleeve and pull her into the hug with them. "I'll miss you too. You know what, everyone group hug, right now. Don't run from the love."

::Kerion's PHS rings before he answers it:: "Hello? Oh, Anya, what a surprise. No, I'm not out partying. I'm just finishing up on a job. Of course I got paid, check the account. Yeah, just bring the Blackjack to Lindblum and I'll board there. Wait, hold on, you'll be here in how long? Great, thanks for putting me on short notice." ::Hangs up and hears Takano:: "Sorry, but I got to pass on the offer. My ride is going to be here and I need to catch it at the docks." ::Walks to the door:: "It's been nice working with all of you. Who knows, maybe one of my jobs mgiht cause us to cross paths again someday." ::He exits and closes the door behind him::

::Surprisingly enough, it's Lillith who pulls Kerion in their little circle before he can get away as if to say "If I'm suffering this, you are too." But nevertheless she sounds genuinely sad to see him go::
Thanks... you know.... for watching my back all this time.
(OOC: Off to work. Be back at 5-ish)

::He surprised at the girl's strenght befoere smiling back:: "Don't mention it." he replied. "I'm glad I went on this and met you and the others. I'm sure Maria would like to hear about this job."

::Eva gave a wave to Lillith as she came in and looked a bit sad as Kerion said he was leaving but gave a wave nevertheless::
"Take care of yourself out there."
::She looked at Jas who seemed to be contemplating something which caused her to frown::
"Whats on your mind Jas?"

Despite the others edging away from Takano, she makes her way around to Eva, Jas, Dante, Rainii, Adrian, Iole, and even little Oliver who is still asleep on the couch. "I said don't run from the love. Who knows when we'll see each other again." Feeling very nostalgic all of a sudden, she pulls a small camera out of her purse and uses it to take a quick snapshot of everyone in the room, including herself. "Well I guess I've done all I can do here. Feel free to come by and visit whenever you like. Not that you'd all want to go anywhere near an asylum anytime soon." She laughs cheerily at her own joke again before making her way out the door, ending what will hopefully be the last time the heroes will hear that nasally voice again.

Dante looks out the window, pondering on some things now that it was all over.
"These memories...."
His concentration breaks as Lilith comes in. He goes to the others and overhears about Aziah about the contraption. "That is rather grotesque... but of course, interesting as you expressed. I wonder what he could have planned to with it... bring back this King in Yellow?"
Before getting any further response, he gets dragged into the unexpected group hug... "Um... yes, we shall miss you too."
He takes notice of Kerion planning to leave after the group hug and picture taken from the nurse; he waves good-bye. "Yes... I was nice meeting you too. I hope to see you again someday."
"Well, then.." He turns to Lillith. "I take August is surely in his place now?"

::Lillith nods::
Yeah, he's not going anywhere. They're even speeding up the trial to make sure he's sentenced before the gangs can try anything.

:As he felt the hug of Takano Kenny blushed a bit as he saw Lillith and for some reason something inside of him was slowly beginning to come apart. After the hug Kenny looked at Lillith and began to talk:
"Alright....Lillith I wan't to know something? Why have you been holding back?"

::Lillith pulls away and looks at Kenny incredulously::
Where did that come from?
::She looks around at the others, a little embarrassed that Kenny's bringing their personal affairs out into the open. Her face starts to color as she takes him by the arm::
Excuse us for a moment.
::She drags Kenny with her up the stairs. Several minutes pass, and though she had intended the conversation to remain private, both of them can still be heard::
Wait a minute Kenny, explain that to me again. You think we've waited too long on our engagement based on what the crazy blond and a fourteen year old girl told you?!

:Kenny felt so upset as the two were upstairs but he did his best to hide it but was frowning for now.:
"Yes thats right, you're hiding something from me haven't you, what am i not good enough? I thought we would be together, yet you just want to keep it on hold, why?"

::Lillith runs her fingers frustratedly through her hair::
I told you it was complicated. It has nothing to do with you, its me. I can't go forward until I solve this. But that's just it. I might never solve it.

:Kenny felt like he wanted to scream as Lillith told him that it was complicated:
"What is there thats complicated, theres something wrong isn't there. Look I'm not a wimp ok, I understand about holding things off but if theres something wrong why can't you tell me about it, I don't understand."

::Lillith clenches her fists and has to calm herself from screaming at the top of her lungs. She really wants this confession to stay just between them. Her eyes start to water and she has to take breaths at odd intervals to collect herself as she finally spills her darkest secret::
Fine, you want the truth. I guess I owe you an answer. You know what happened to Echidna? Even before the war she was always a little unhinged? She's not the only one of us. They say that the sorceress power, along with changing our bodies, can also poison our minds. Its more common in those who've had it transferred to them instead of being born with it. Now some people like Rainii can handle the change, but others like Echidna and... me... some of us can't. After I got my powers I started having these violent mood swings. I could be playing with my friends on the playground one moment, and then bloody one of their noses for looking at me wrong the next. It got worse as I got older. I started having really violent thoughts. For a long time, the only one who could keep me from getting too out of hand was Melanie. Before I met her and after she died, I took to drinking whiskey to numb my moods. But these days, I guess they make pills for it. That's what I've been carrying around with me these days. But I didn't have them when you proposed to me. And even now they don't always work. Do you have any idea how hard it is to worry that I might lose control with you? Well now you know why its taking me so damn long to answer you. I'm worried that if I'm not always totally drugged, or blind stumbling drunk, I might come completely unglued and end up in a clinic like Rena. Are you happy now?!
::Unable to keep herself in check anymore, she roughly shoves past him and heads back down the stairs. Her eyes meet the others, but she's unable to say anything. She figures she must look like a wreck whether or not they heard the row::

::She looked at Jas who seemed to be contemplating something which caused her to frown::
"Whats on your mind Jas?"
"It's something August and Rena said. I got the feeling this isn't over, not by a longshot. August mentioned not only a King, but a Queen as well. Whatever it means, I got a bad feeling we'll find out what he means soon." *He notices Lillith after her rant to Kenny, but didn't say anything before standing up and heads to the door* "I'm heading onto the roof to clear my head."

::Iole bites her lip, trying to lighten the sudden awkwardness by changing the subject::
So... that was real nice of Takano to stay with us for so long. I still can't figure out why she was so bent on helping us solve the case though. She only told Kenny because she didn't want me and Oliver to hear. Something about it not being suitable for children. And Kenny's been totally lip tight about it too.

All the commotion of the room, Oliver struggles to stay asleep, but in a half-sleep haze, he overhears Iole talking and without thinking he begins to speak in a sleepy daze.
"She'aid tis was sumtin about that doc from ta clinic." He rolls over and adjusts his body to get more comfortable as he continues to try and sleep.

:As Kenny listen on to what was a shocking and unexpected confession by Lillith he was in a state of shock as he watched her head down the stairs as he couldn't take it anymore as he just hit the wall close to him and stormed out of the place upset and sad: "I thought i could help but again...I failed"

Sounds juicy. So what kind of "something" happened between her and Doctor Irie?

Oliver shrugs slightly in his sleepy haze.
"Dun'o, 'aft-air' or sumtin. Said she owd it ta him. Wasin really lis'en, ears an all jus hear stuff witout me tryin."
