"Well someone here decided not to pick up his phone...."
::Eva gave a slight glare at Dante who in turned looked a bit sheepish::
"So I tracked him, and well, here I am."
::She said with a smile before looking at the new comer with a sigh at the interation between the two::
"Both of you cool it before I have to do so for you. Thank you for helping and don't call people old....especially women...I don't think you would like to deal with a angry woman."
::She said that with a cheerful smile before turning towards Dante::
"And speaking of an angry woman...."
::She started walking towards him with a icicle shaped blade starting to form::
"Now you wouldn't mind telling me why exactly you haven't picked up on my calls would you?"

You are so screwed... wait, I'm screwed too...Quiet, for the love of god, this is not first time it happened...Dante sighs. "Eva, you know how I am with these foreign items. I was not aware this was on Silent mode, let alone how it got turned on in the first place as used this phone to take pictures I send to you... and to keep track of where you are at the moment... because.. well, I kind of... missed you." He drifts a bit then gets back... "But yes, I am sorry about that and I do hope you understand... and I am glad you are back." He smiles a bit... "... Lilith is right, we cannot seem to stay away from each other, for better or for worse... so sorry..." He puts his hand upon Eva's hand where she had the icicle blade to ease her down... kissed her on her forehead. "... I shall not worry and upset you again.... though I am sure you and I cannot promise that all the time with the kind of lives we have; but we can try, yes? So yes... let me just set this to ring for you personally and we shall explain what has happened lately." He takes out his phone and flips it up to find a message. He opens it and sees it is from.. Cagnazzo... God, you're so corny with--... wait, what??I herd u got a cell so imma gonna sen u a l33t ringtone set for ur babe wen she call u! enjoy! - C-Naz ....... yeah, I can't understand that either. "What is a ringtone?" He sees a blinking "Play" and presses it... then an an odd song is played that echoed across the group... "Oh god! Everyone, I am so sorry! I am still trying to get use to this odd.. random... device!.." It takes him a while to finally turn it off... and slightly blushes in front of Eva. "Well... it has been set up... though I am not sure if I can set it any further as I do not want to make it silent again... very, very sorry."

::Iole finally begins to stir in Dante's arms, hearing Eva's voice::
Eva? Is that you? You sound pissed, and Dante just got real tense... yep it's you.
::She smiles at Eva, but it's a sad smile. Not even reuniting with her big sister can cheer her up at this point. She's going to need some time::

::Lillith grins at Kenny and places an arm around his shoulder::
Sorry Ren. Did I forget to introduce my fiance? He's the protective type.

::Eva sighed and laughed for a bit before shaking her head and leaned down to look at Iole with a smile::
"I see something has gotten you shakened up...you've grown since the last I saw you."
::She moved a strand of hair from Iole's face and helps her stand::
"Now that things have cooled down just a little bit its nice to see you again Lillith and Kenny."
::She then turns towards the new comer with a smile::
"And may I ask who you might be?"

Oliver meanwhile, through all this, has took it upon himself to liberate the newcomer of any money he may have and is now counting it a short distance off. Obviously, he has grown tired of the squabbling going on outside the building, 'its like they haven't escaped from a burning building before', he thinks to himself.
Once finished counting his coin, Oliver returns to the group, beside Lillith. "Hay!? Mite I bring up a pont?" He interjects. "Don it look odd that we standing here? Oinkers gonna think we done this, they will. Abe we should go?"

::Some time later ::The group from Lindblum, plus Iole, Kenny, Eva, and Renilius (who had refused to be brushed off) find themselves back on the train bound for Lindblum. Lillith has the phone from the train's private line pressed to her ear. All the previous fire she had displayed before is gone, and now she just looks tired and depressed as she thanks Nurse Takano over the phone, taking momentary pauses to allow the other woman to talk:: Yes, thank you Miyo. We appreciate that. We couldn't exactly stick around ourselves to explain to the police...... It's complicated...... No I don't know what happened to him either. He seemed his usual friendly self when we saw him....... Yes we're looking into it...... That would actually be helpful. Thank you....... We'll meet you in Lindblum then...... Yes. Goodbye. ::She places the phone back in its cradle and turns back to the group:: That was Takano. She says the police cleared us and they're going to continue the investigation. They've already phoned Captain Ames so I imagine we're in for a nasty surprise when we get back. She said some of Echidna's things were saved from the fire-- Iole: Her name was Rena. ::Iole cuts her off abruptly. She's also one of the sadder faces in the train, sitting by Eva quietly, resting her head on her shoulder. She hadn't taken much interest in the conversation up until that point. Lillith sighs and corrects herself:: Sorry. She has Rena's things and she'll have them sent to us when we get back to Lindblum. ::Oliver might notice that Lillith is almost deliberately not looking at him:: I'm.... I'm a little tired. I'll be in the back car if anyone needs me. ::She pats Oliver's head sadly as she passes him::

Sitting on the opposite side of the train car from Lillith and Iole, sits Oliver by himself at a booth, his feet dangling from the seat, swinging back and froth. Atop the table he sets down the various items he collected from the fire, placing them neatly in order by type upon the flat surface.
First, three syringes, one having been broken by the fall and discarded out the window say for the needle itself which he saves. A potion, a half drunk hi-potion, some tufts of phoenix down, and a number of various pills and small bottles, some glass, some plastic. He looks at them, trying in desperation to pronounce the name of their contents. He sets aside the ones he doesn't recognize and organizes the ones he does, just as the gang had taught him.
He occasionally breaks his concentration to observe the commotion in the train-car, now so packed with people he didn't know, didn't trust, but the only people that can get him closer and closer to the one who killed his mother. 'His mother', the thought of what he wanted to do to the one who did it burned inside him with morbid enjoyment, he smiles, out of place at those thoughts and as he takes out the sucker, the last object from his pockets, rips away its wrapper and gleefully enjoys it.

::Iole peers over her seat to get a good look at what Oliver was digging out of his pockets. She gets a good look at the table before he even notices that she's snooping from just above his head::
What you got there Ollie?

Oliver takes a moment to reply. "Jus stuff for ta Crest." he mumbles with the sucker in his mouth. "Grabed dem in ta fire. We don got much meds in ta Crest, cant afford it non. Also make abit of gil or sum'tin too."
He moves a few loose pills around till they form a pile, then sweeps the pile into his hand and pockets them inside his coat. His hand does sweep by something on the table that may catch Iole's attention, something wrapped in dark cloth, a speckle of golden color shining through a loose edge.
"Wha'we do wheneva theres a fire. Go in and grab wha we can, meds, jewelry, wha'eva."

::Iole's fondness for all things shiny does indeed alert her to the object wrapped in cloth. Her hand extends as a sort of weird octopus tentacle which latches onto it, sweeping it off the table and pulling it into her grasp. She changes her hand back and dangles it over his head tauntingly::
And what's this? You got a girlfriend in the crest and you wanted to get her something nice?

Oliver dives for the object, which Iole finds to actually be two objects, golden brass, though slightly tarnished, combs. "Hey! Giv those back!" He jumps for them, waving his arms wildly for Iole's hand. "Giv em back!"

::Iole just pulls them higher, just barely out of the poor kid's reach::
Tell me what they are first? Nah, that's boring. Tell me who they're for. Are they for your gal back in Lindblum? I knew you were a lady-killer. Come on, you're blushing.

Oliver jumps again at them but to no vane. "Jus giv em back!" One sweep of Oliver's fingers scrapes Iole's hand and draws a prick of blood. "They aint yours! They me dads! Now give'm back!"

::Iole giggles as she drops the combs into his hands::
No need to scratch. But what would your dad want with...
::She sees the combs clearly now and a look of recognition washes over her face. She becomes deadpan after that::
Oh... I see. Sorry.
::Settles herself back next to Eva::

Oliver grabs them greedily and rewraps them quickly then tucks them away in his jacket. "Girls... nuthin but trouble." He says disgustedly, giving Iole a dirty look as she walks back.
Oliver returns back to sorting the medications, paying no more attention to his new found pest.

"Yeah, tell me about it!" Ren said to Oliver and moved to the seat in front of the Burmecian. He patted his head and smiled. "I'm Ren! Tell me, what sort of creature are you? Oliver, right?"

Oliver's eyes and face show are awash with frustration and annoyance. "Yea... an I'ma Burmecian and wha are ya?" He sticks his tongue partway out at Ren, playfully, before turning his attention back to his work.

::Kerion was some distance away from the others as he fiddled with his Punisher, his eyepatch was moved off his left eye. Anybody could tell his other eye was an icy blue, a contrast to his other brown eye, as he looked over the gun:: So far nothing wrong, but it never drained me of magic before, why this time? ::He puts the gun away and sighs:: I'll never understand this sorcery technology, guess I should of read more into those books I found with it, rather than just skim past the basics and modified the darn thing.

::Eva shook her head at the boy's antics before turning to Iole::
"You've grown a lot since the last time I've saw you Iole."
::She gave a slight smile::
"Though it seem's you still have that knack of not staying out of trouble."
::She gave her a small wink::
"I know whats going on to an extinct though even I have to admit its a bit different from what I've been through before."
::She looks out of the window as the tree's goes by::
"The world changes and yet never changes."
