:This is a rebadged and rebuilt Empire ship recovered from the Cyrus Paxton attacks:
:Airlia pulls the hood off from over her face and watches soldiers scramble about booting up the systems. The ship hums as power returns and flickers to life:

Zion walks in and immediately begins helping oversee the start-up procedures, waiting for the rest of his team.

Oh why do I have to be put with the whiner?

Zion, with the crew pretty much able to handle themselves at this point, turns and notices Airlia standing behind him. He catches the end of the motion and rolls his eyes. He turns around completely to talk to her.
"Look, we don't like each other but there's no time for bickering here. Keep your thoughts to yourself and your head in the action."
With that, he turns back around as some random new crew member needed directions.

:Airlia doesn't appreciate the comments and stands up:
"Listen you fruitcake!"
:Airlia stands definately inches in front of him pointing her finger up in his face:
"I didn't ask for you to read my mind, so why don't YOU just mind your own business??"
:She turns around to sit back down but decides she isn't finished. So again, she spins around to face him:
"...or is that too much to ask of you, Mr. Big Nose??"
Sarcastic, rude personality..yes...it is my favorite and it gets the job done.

Through all of this, Zion keeps his face indifferent. When she finishes, he replies, evenly and, even, calmly.
"Forgive me, but it is my business if any personal feelings of yours get in the way of our mission. Beyond that, I could care less."

:She grumbles:
"Well don't read my mind, then stand there like a whiner and tell me what I can and can't think. I think I hope this mission goes well enough for us to cmoe back one member lighter."
:Tapping the blade at her side, she walks back, sits down, and gives Zion a mocking serious face:

Zion turns away from her, back to what he was doing. Not even paying attention to the look she's giving him. He makes no outward sign of his thoughts again.
This may get interesting, hopefully she drops this when we get into it.

:Airlia responds in his mind:
"Hardly you fool. I hold grudges if you must know....so watch your back"

In response, Zion turns, quickly walks over to where she's sitting and hits the wall just above her head with his arm. This makes a loud bang and dents the wall a bit.
"This isn't summer camp! This is war! You will do as you're told when you're told or you will stay on the ship!"
Zion backs off a step, still glaring.
"That clear, princess?"

:She starting humming:
"That's more like it sweetheart."
:She grins and blows him a kiss:
"Crystal!"
So, I CAN get under his skin.

Zion turns around, still growling. He then gets a sudden idea. He sits down across from her and looks at her with his calm expression back.
"Well, you may be irritating but we're stuck with each other and i'm not going to leave you alone so deal with it."
He smirks.

:She shoots back at his with an evil grin:
"Likewise"
:She crosses her arms mockingly:
"...so what made you come here? So you can annoy other people?"

::Eva looking from the side just sighed for a bit before shaking her head::
Things better cool down in here before I will have to be literal about it...
::She looked over at Airlia and shook her head::
I thought you at least would have been above acting a little bit immature you know....sheesh your practically giving him a reason to mess with you.

Dante hear and feel the airship starting up as he meditate and eases his mind. However, he gets distracted with his quiet meditation when he hears a bang up ahead. He turns his head to see an argument between General Zion and Airlia Eyanson. At the same time he feels the "negative" aura surrounding them. He shrugs his shoulders to get the feeling off.
*sigh* Hopefully, things will get better when the battle starts...
He eases his mind, closes his eyes, and meditates again and waits for announcement of their destination.

Zion settles back.
"No, I was sent for. Doc sought me out to help with this resistance effort. How the messenger found me still baffles me. It's an interesting story, if you care."

:Nods to Eva:
Alright, I have been trained to act older than I am and need to keep my cool. Sorry...
:She looks around:
"Where are the other three? Once they board we can get out of here!"
:She looks back to Zion:
"Fine then...maybe you can enlighten us while we wait."

Zion seems slightly surprised he didn't get more attitude but recovers quickly.
"Well, I left Nibelheim, a wreck. Apparently, being forcefully stripped of angelic powers does bad things to a person. I spent some time wandering around, not sure really where to go. In a daze, I blanked out near a river. I awoke near the base of the northern crater. Not sure how I got there. At this point, I had no idea where I was so I simply survived, even learned to thrive in that environment. This is where it gets strange. I was hunting one day and I stumbled across this."
Zion reaches underneath his shirt and pulls out a necklace with a glowing black crystal.
"I'm still not sure what it is exactly. Ever since I found it, I've been able to use shadows for just about anything, as you've found out. Anyway, I lived that way for two years, or there abouts. One day, a man stumbles into my camp, half dead. After I got him to a point where he could talk, he told me about this. I told him I didn't care at first but then he let me speak to Doc. We worked out a deal and now, here I am."
He ends with mocking flourish then returns to a somewhat neutral expression.

:Airlia nods, seemingly uninterested:
"Hm...so living in the wild like a beast?"
:She pauses and acts like shes looking him over:
"I can see that."
:She asks sarcastically:
"How will you ever return to civilization?

Zion gives her a dry look.
"Apparently, slowly and painfully. Do you have a story, Miss Eyanson? I'm sure it is equally enlightening."
