This was, suffice it to say, not the best night Fai'd had since arriving.

Already weaker than normal due to hunger, he can admit - if only to himself - that going that deep into the Mist over a person he didn't actually know wasn't the smartest of moves.

But it was creating a contact, based on Kaien's memory of another 'Fai' and had helped put off this moment.

This moment, where that steady drumming was too loud in his ears, where it left his throat impossibly dry, parched as if it had been months rather than weeks since he last fed.

Even so, hunger is no stranger to him, not really.

More worrying was the very real sight that still lingers so large before his mind's eye. Ashura-ou, there in the Mist. Those gentle tawny eyes flat, the blood dripping once more from his hand. The somber way with which his King had regarded him...

He couldn't quite hide the shiver at the mere memory as the door closes behind them, so once inside, he manages to disentangle himself from Kurogane with a muted smile as he moves over towards the sofa. He leans the sword against the wall beside the bedroom door, then sprawls out in a lazy slouch on the sofa, his head resting against the back, eye closed.

"Well! That makes for an interesting night, wouldn't you agree, Kurogane?"
