Saioh twitched a little, and carefully opened his eyes. He wasn't quite sure how yet, but he appeared to be alive.

"Ye gods," he muttered indistinctly. Then, with a bit more alertness, he added, "Is it really necessary to make so much noise? My head hurts."

"There's plenty of room at our apartment." Riza said. "I want to get my guns and rifle." She said. "I don't trust a lot of people here and I don't like being unarmed." She said, her hands moving to check the empty holsters at the small of her back. Even though she had rubber bullets, she still was an excellent shot and could disable someone.

Yamato stretched a little, wincing. He was going to need a good workout to get all of these kinks out. He fished in a pocket and grinned to find his Digivice there safely.

"If anyone needs a ride, Gabumon and I can manage it." He knew his partner would be more than willing to lend a paw. Or a strong back, in this case.

[takion]

It was Saetan's voice that fully drew Takion's attention. He at last sat up to look over at his lover. The look on his face clearly said that he would be scolding soon. All that kept him from doing so was the abundance of family around. Scoldings should be private, and Saetan being out in the middle of the day was worth a scolding or two.

Atem listened to them all, before nodding, climbing to her feet with an unsteady sigh. "Riza and I live over at Mui-Epta," she told the others. "As she said, we've got plenty of room. Is it okay with everyone if we go there?" Despite Saetan's encouragement, she didn't really want to be in charge.

"Yes, that's fine with me." Saetan replied, trying to call in his cane and failing. He attempted twice more before giving up. Even his Red Jewels were drained. He tried for a moment to calculate how long he had been out in the sun. It was hard to say for sure without knowing how long they had been unconscious but it must have been nearly all day. No wonder he was so drained.

He returned Takion's scolding look wearily, knowing he looked as ancient and tired as he felt at the moment. "Help me up. You can scold once I get out of the sun and get that tea."

"My own room is empty, except for me. I am capable of discouraging anyone who means harm from entering it," said Saioh. Which was true enough, but he was also not sure he wanted to find himself in a room with a lot of other people, some of them strangers. He moved to help Takion get Saetan on his feet.

A quick Digivolution later, and Garurumon shook himself all over before headed over to Saetan. "Need a lift?" he asked the human-seeming gentlemon. "It'll help us get inside faster, wherever it is we go."

[xsniperkittyx]

"It's your choice as to where we go. I'm headed back to my apartment first." She wanted to be armed, no matter where they went. She blinked at Garurumon for a moment, her tail swaying a bit behind her. Yes, the kitty was a bit afraid of the large wolf.

[dark_friendship]

Yamato noticed her nervousness and grinned a little. "You don't have to be scared of Garurumon. He's friendly." Well, he was as long as no one tried to hurt him. Then he was a couple of hundred pounds of fury and fangs.

He himself wasn't all that concerned about where they went, as long as everyone was safe once they got there. He suspected Saioh wasn't really going to want to hang out with a whole room of people, though.

"You probably shouldn't be by yourself, though, Saioh," he said. After all, who knew what kind of abilities were now unleashed now that no cuffs were involved. He didn't doubt Saioh's powers, but there could very well be things or people who were immune to his friend's gifts.

He had yet to find too many of those that would also be immune to a good smack upside the head from his sword, though.

He also moved a bit closer, ready to help if Saetan needed any to get on Garurumon, if he accepted the Digimon's help.

[takion]

Takion kept his thoughts to himself as he helped to pull Saetan up carefully. The High Lord seemed terribly frail, and Takion was almost afraid he might break. "You shall be eating tonight," Takion said softly. If he had to open a vein himself, he'd see to it that Saetan had a fresh meal to help regain his strength.

[queenofgames]

Atem moved over next to Yamato, ready to join in aiding Saetan if necessary. "Yamato's right," she added. "Myself, I think those who can't defend themselves against any mischief makers need to band together, and seek out the protection of those who are good with weapons or magic." She shrugged lightly. "I'm putting my hand up for offering protection to anyone who needs it."

[papa_high_lord]

It was a mark of how much the sunlight had sapped his strength that Saetan just nodded in agreement to Takion's offer of blood rather than refusing like he usually did. Instead he just let the many hands help him up, leaning his head against the nearest shoulder gratefully and letting them lead him where ever they ended up deciding to go. There was a price for the immortality and power that came with being a Guardian, and the pain and weakness the sun caused him was just one aspect of that cost.

[tarot_umbrella]

Saioh cast a glance at Yamato and nodded slightly, knowing that was all it would take to show he'd understood. He wouldn't mind if Yamato stayed with him for a while, even if he brought his companion creature with him. It would almost be nice to have people in his apartment again.

[wolfofriendship]

Garurumon positioned himself to support the worst of Saetan's weight, and he said to Saetan and Takion, "Get on, both of you. You need a lift the most..." Although he'd rather carry Yamato, but still. Needs must, and Yamato would never leave his 'father' out here. "You need to put on a good example for Yamato," Garurumon pointed out. "Otherwise, I'll have to nag him, and I'm not a nanny-mon."

[xsniperkittyx]

Riza's ears twitched a little bit as she watched this little family. She was glad that they were all here for each other, but she missed her friends from Amestris. They were their own little family.

"I offer my skills with a gun to protect anyone." She said. "I'm a sharpshooter. Rubber bullets can still do some damage if fired at the right places."
