:: Julie winces, but Rainii's healing was nothing compared to the bite itself. ::
"... I'll be fine. Ugh. What kind of crazy--"
:: She stops suddenly, blushing slightly at what she had almost said. She had rarely entertained an impolite thought before... but, then again, she had never been bitten on the shoulder by an insane creature / enemy general before. At that thought, her gaze drifts toward Clerian, who seems to have taken quite a beating during the battle with Sands. ::
"Is... is he alright?!"

(OOC-Alright, I'll be gone for the weekend for the Iowa-Iowa State game....so I'm going to wrap up my role in this so that everyone can part their seperate ways for now.)
:Natalia leads the summoners and Wierbowski into the room. It was a good thing that there were no more soldiers around because their entrance was less than secretive. Airlia turns around to face them and a grim expression crosses her face:
Airlia: "Sir.."
:She bows:
"I was going to report back bu-"
Head summoner: "Close it. I don't want to hear any excuses, nor will anyone on the council Miss Eyanson."
:The others stay at the entrance as he approaches her:
"You're to come with us now and meet with the council."
:Airlia pauses, almost like she doesn't know what to do:
Airlia: "Yes...yes sir.."
:Her head drops as if to sulk and the head summoner motions for the others to come. As they approach they shackle her hands in silver chains. The men file out past Natalia and the rest. The head summoner pauses briefly:
"The council sends their regards and are sorry that they could not send forces during this war, but we thank you for helping us find Miss Eyanson."
:He briefly glances at Natalia before disappearing through the hallway:
Meanwhile
"...oh my..."
:Wierbowski pats his friend on the shoulder. He's kneelnig down over Chamber shaking his head:
"Hey bud, you ok?"
:Chamber stirs slightly, but nothing more:
What happened....
:Wierbowski gets up to his feet and walks over to the bloody mes where he was lying and picks up his rifle. The remaining resistance soldiers enter, they followed without anyone else knowing to find out what happened to their commander, Chamber. Wierbowski leans down and notices the others:
"Lets get him outta here.....he needs to be seen by a doctor.."
:Wierbowski and a couple others help carry Chamber out. They say nothing to the others on their way out:
(OOC- Sorry to make it rather quick but I didn't want to hold anyone up for the weekend if you felt like posting! Just remember to check in each day so you don't fall off the face of the earth. Just because the story is over doesn't mean you have to stop posting!! Small stories are just as fun if not more!)

(OOC: Agreed)
::Natalia nods to the head summoner as they leave, unsure of his glance toward her. Her kindly expression belies the malice in her next words::
Of course. Because all of your political sorries can certainly undo the destruction and pain that occurred because of a conqueror you were too afraid to fight. Your pretty speeches of your false passion to your cause aren't impressing anybody. Least of all me. Take your trinket and leave without another word.
::She gingerly unseats herself from the white mare as it returns to Iole. She takes note of the headless beast, and decides Iole doesn't need to see that. She covers her eyes, and keeps her close. She walks up to Rainii, going over her wounds::
You know, judging by how much healing that must have took ::Glances around the party:: for everyone, I'm amazed you're still standing.
::She looks back to the doorway::
What did you make of all that?

Morgan looked everyone over. Zion and Clerian were still heavily wounded... He almost gasped at the sight.
"Curaga." He cast on Clerian first, then turned to Zion and did the same. The wounds began healing at a moderate pace.
"Should be all fixed up soon... He really did a number on you guys. I'm glad he's gone..."
He glanced towards the door, "So... what now?" He meant it to entail everything from Airlia's abrupt departure to Vector's fate.

::Natalia looks back at Morgan::
I don't know. Looks like she broke on e of their silly rules or something like that. I can't stand summoners. I don't know about the rest of you, but I think we could do with a rest.
Iole: You mean at Costa del Sol?!
::The little girl shakes her Auntie's hand off of her so she can pull a poster out of her pocket with a picture of a beach on it::
Where did you...
Iole: Eva gave it to me! She said we could play there when this is all over! Can we go Auntie?! Please, please, please?!
I... I don't know... I guess... I have to go back home and take care of a few things first but... It's not really up to me. Is Costa del Sol alright with everyone else?

Morgan nodded. "I can finally do what I set out to do... Relax..." He laughed a touch, but then stumbled. The adreneline wore off...

"What's at Costa del Sol?" Clerian asked, keeping his eyes closed as he remained laying on the floor. The floor was surprisingly comfortable considering the vicious battle that had just ended. The cold surface was soothing, as well.
He'd never been to Costa del Sol, but from what he'd gathered from Iole's raving about it, it was a beachside resort town somewhere far off. A vacation would be nice, but not expected. Clerian hadn't seen a time of vacation or rest in...well...over a decade. Chances are, things weren't about to change.

::Rainii watches Wierbowski and the other soldiers take Chamber away. She almost feels annoyed that they didn't even ask her--or anyone--what had happened, or how he was even still alive. And she didn't get to thank him for saving her life today. The group disappears through the door, and Rainii hopes that, at least, they'll let her know if he'll be alright. She notices Natalia's talking to her, and, putting the situation with Chamber out of her mind for the moment, she turns to face her, smiling.::
"You know...I'm kinda amazed too. I guess in desperate times..."
::She looks back to where Airlia had exited.::
"And I don't know what to make of that. Too many secrets and rules for me."
::Natalia helps her stand::
"Anyways...I say a vacation is long overdue, and Costa del Sol sounds like the perfect place. And besides..."
::Rainii looks to Julie, grinning.::
"...My sister needs to see more of the world, and parts of it that aren't battle-worn and blood drenched."

"To be honest I've never been to the Costa de Sol before. I have heard about it by some people who have been there. Is it really good as it is."

::Natalia sighs. Costa del Sol hadn't even been on her mind before Iole mentioned it. But now that she had Natalia had secretly hoped they would go. The last time she had been, it had been with Crohan::
::Flashback::
Crohan: Here, try this.
What is it?
Crohan: Try it and find out.
You know I don't need human food.
Crohan: Would you just try it.
::Reluctantly, she takes a sip of the strange white bevarage he had offered. Her eyes become huge purple disks when she realizes she actually likes it::
What is this?!
Crohan: I thought you'd like it.
::End of Flashback::
Costa del Sol sounds nice. I could really go for a pina-colada.
::This prompts some rather odd looks from the others, particularly Rainii, so she immediately changes the subject::
But I'd have to take Iole home to pack first. Kenny, would you like to go with me? There's something I need to give you.

::Natalia smiles, apparently relieved that the conversation had drifted away from her slip of the tongue::
I'll show you. If you don't mind riding Iole that is.
::She looks around at the others::
I suppose we'll all just meet there?

"I'll tell the others..." Morgan ran to the door, turned around and called back, "See you guys there!" He made a weary smile and ran out.

"I've never had a 'vacation' before..." Clerian said as he got to his feet, struggling a bit in the process.
He walked over, holding his wounded arm, and switched glances between Rainii and Julie, "What's to become of Vector, though? I'd just as soon burn it to the ground, but there might be people still living here who will just want to have a home again."
Looking up at the catwalks where groups of scientists had been, Clerian noted, "Can't punish a whole population for one idiot's war, I suppose."

"I dunno..."
::The leave the building, Rainii looking at what was left of Vector as she does so.::
"I guess we just leave it, but...that seems a little cruel..."

"Invading and abandoning a city?" Clerian asked rhetorically, retrieving his gunblades and attempting to clean them off, "We'd be no better than Sands."
"Rainii...couldn't Esthar send a detachment force to help the people of Vector get back on their feet?" he asked, finally getting his weapons back in their sheaths, "You know...a few civil engineers with some soldiers. Something along those lines."

::She seems slightly annoyed at what Clerian had insinuated, and can't help but to reply.::
"We never invade. We give assistance to those who need it. That makes us different than Sands, and I do not appreciate you saying otherwise. You've no idea."
::She frowns.::
"We only--usually--go as far as to help, military wise. After that, their on their own. We don't get involved any further than that. Things get messy. People will want more an more of our help. It all snowballs, and then we'd just end up cloaking ourselves again, and go back to being an isolationist country."
::She finally turns to look at him.::
"I'll tell Quinn to have them send someone. But they'll hate me for it."
::Rainii changes the subject, because the one they were on had gotten quite tense.::
"I would say now's a good time for a vacation,huh?"
