He's not coming...

[Cirrus]

Kakrin leaned against a tree and sighed. "Blink, face it, he's done a runner."

[Blink]

Blink was sitting on the ground stubborning, refusing to buldge. "He wouldn't run...not after this length of time and when he's had countless chances...he just wouldn't."

[Cirrus]

"Then maybe something happened, but either way, we can't sit around. If we wait too long that tiem piece will be gone," he said, 'and Dial will have my neck," he thought after.

[Blink]

"We should look around for him." Blink stood up and brushed the leaves off his pants. "Let's look."

[Cirrus]

"The time piece is far more valueable than Cirrus," Kakrin said.

[Blink]

"Only because Dial will notice." Blink muttered under his breath and began searching for the path back.

[Cirrus]

"Okay, you go gallavanting for my hopeless brother, and I'll meet you later with the true thing we need," Kakrin snorted. "And if you try to make a runner....well...I highly suggest you don't." Kakrin put his hand on Blink and he'd feel funny for a moment, before ti faded.

[Blink]

Blink shrugged the hand off his shoulder, "I won't run." he said icily and took off into the village.

[Cirrus]

Kakrin went a different direction, following the place wehre the time piece would be.

Blink would stumble across a lake. It was late night. Cirrus was standing out on the water, obviously destraught about something and yelling at Baoh.


"IT'S NOT A GAME!" Cirrus seethed at Baoh.

"Your right, it's not." Baoh agreed. "Listen Cirrus, I understand how messed up things are for you right now and I can only imagen how much pain your in at this moment. But now is not the time to run away. You don't have the luxary of being weak yet. Push your gerif back. So far back that you can forget it for now and cling to what you still have." He told him. "If you don't you'll regret it for the rest of your life. You can be weak later, but right now she needs you."

"I'll lose her just like the babies. It's better to live in a fake world than a world without them." Cirrus said bitterly.

Baoh's face grew angry. "Are you f**king kidding me!?" He snapped at him. "What do you think Akira would say if she heard you say that?"

"Akira can't hear me!" Cirrus said. "And I can't handle that," he shook.

"Your a fool if you think she can't hear you." baoh said walking out onto the water towards him. "If you leave her alone now it's just like throwing her away."

"And if she ends up dying liek the twins?" Cirrsu said in a shaky voice.

"Then you have all the right in the world to go crazy." Baoh told him standing right in front of him. "But I swear to god if you leave right now, I will replace you at her side." He warned him.

Cirrus shook his head. "That's unforgivable."

[Blink]

Blink hid behind a tree, his face still contorted in shock and prayed he wasn't noticed. "....shit." he whispered to himself.

[Cirrus]

"Why should I care. You haven't forgiven me for anything since we met. Might as well do something worth you being angry at me for." Baoh said to him. He was baiting him but he was helping him, or at least trying to, aswell."If I go adn she dies in front of me," Cirrus shook.

"Then You have all the right in the world to go crazy. Hell I'll even let you beat on me for awhile." he told him. "You have to be strong right now Cirrus. For her."

Tears welled in Cirrus' eyes. "I don't want to lose her."

Baoh's face softened just a little. "No one does, but you can't make her do this alone. She spent far to much of her life alone." Baoh told him placing a ahnd on his shoulder.

Cirrus hung his head and walked back with Baoh, shaking.

Baoh walked back with him. "Your really strong Cirrus." He told him. "I know you can do this."

Cirrus didn't say anything, staring straight ahead despite the tears going down his face.

[Blink]

Blink eventually returned and stood next to Kakrin quietly, a sour silent expression on his face.

[Cirrus]

Kakrin pocketed the time piece. "Oh, Cirrus, good to have you back," Kakrin said sarcastically.

[Blink]

Blink snapped and lunged, bearhugging Kakrin around the waist and trying to take them both to the ground.

[Cirrus]

Kakrin was ready for retaliation and it would be like Blink was hugging a solid tree. "Did you miss me that much?"he said.
