[It was late last night when Ion was taken from the village, and it had been done so quietly it might have been impossible to know he was gone if his bedding hadn't been thrown around the room.]

[But he wasn't gone for very long, as it's less than a day later that Ion returns to the village sometime in the early evening. At a glance, he might just ( Read more... )

[Dist was just on his way back home from the library, having to occupy his time somehow now that he moved out of house one. He has a few books tucked under his arm, not paying attention to much else than returning to his apartment room. He just barely spots the young Fon Master out of the corner of his eye, taking a few more steps before he stops and turns his head quickly.]

Io--Fon Master?!

[Dist bites his lip, furious that his first reaction was that of deep concern for the boy, and approaches with a hastened pace. When had he been taken? Did the others know? Was he all right? He looked disoriented. Dist stops in front of Ion and looks him over. He looked unharmed...]

[Action] soreplaceable May 16 2011, 02:12:45 UTC

[All right, yes, but Ion hadn't been expecting the door to suddenly open like that and his eyes widened, leading to his clinging just a bit tighter to Dist's sleeve and nearly ducking behind him.]

[But when he sees Nephry, his expression turns to one of curiousity.]

[Action] its_rose_damnit May 16 2011, 02:57:48 UTC

[Dist wriggles his arm absently once Ion grabs hold, his eyes locked on Nephry. For a moment, he can't find the words to say when he sees her again, after so long, and averts his gaze. Ugh...ugh, that damn experiment. He wasn't ready to face her yet. Thankfully, though, her attention shifts to Ion, and he makes a moot point of correcting her statement.]

Oh, yes...physically, perhaps. [He'd have to run a few tests to make sure of that. Heaven knows that the Malnosso could and would do more than alter Ion's "age". If he was unstable as well...] He's been altered, Nephry. I have reason to believe he was de-aged to moments after his creation.

[Action] offallingsnow May 16 2011, 03:01:50 UTC

[her smile doesn't falter until he says the word 'altered,' and then it's instant concern all over]

Come inside.

[no. Arguments.]

[Action] soreplaceable May 16 2011, 03:04:53 UTC

[Inside? Is that in here? Ion isn't too sure, but he clings just a bit closer to Dist's side. Right now, he's the only thing he feels like he really knows right now.]

[Action] its_rose_damnit May 16 2011, 03:11:19 UTC

[Any other time, Dist would hesitate, or turn cheek and leave as fast as he could. This situation was different, though. This was just business, was what his mind kept telling him. Just business...then he could leave, like he wanted.

lacing a hand gently on Ion's back, the man ushers him inside with a small command.]

In.

[Action] offallingsnow May 16 2011, 03:13:49 UTC

[Nephry makes room for them to pass, and will take over for Dist in guiding Ion to sit down on the sofa. With a gentle smile, she asks him to stay there for a moment.

Then she will pull Dist aside, to the other side of the room, and try to keep her voice down]

What exactly does this mean?

[Action] soreplaceable May 16 2011, 03:18:41 UTC

[Ion will sit on the sofa when instructed, and even stay when instructed to do so. But his eyes remain focused on Dist and Nephry, the look on his face slowly turning to one of concern. They aren't going to leave him alone, are they?]

[Action] its_rose_damnit May 16 2011, 03:30:01 UTC

[Oh, thank goodness, freedom. If only for a moment, Dist feels much better. He's not used to having anything or anyone touching him so often. It was definitely...strange. He wasn't sure just how to react to it, especially since he didn't want to damage Ion, especially in such a delicate stage like this.

As he's take away, he sighs, and pushes up his glasses as he glances back at Ion. Time for a good old fonic researcher explanation.]

Exactly as I stated. Ion was, I believe, de-aged by the Malnosso to the point just after his creation. I can't be certain, as I wasn't involved in the replication of the original Ion, but he seems capable of basic speech and, though somewhat limited, he is capable of understanding certain commands. The intellect and knowledge is there, presumably by a delicately placed programming, but untapped. It'll take some time to teach him, but he's not completely incompetent. He will need care, however, which I know you can provide, Nephry.

[Action] offallingsnow May 16 2011, 03:38:18 UTC

And he will need someone with a much deeper understanding of replicas than I have. [which would be you, Saphir.] We don't know how long this will last, after all.

...How did you get him to follow you?

[Action] soreplaceable May 16 2011, 03:43:27 UTC

[There is a lot of talking going on that Ion doesn't understand. He heard his name mentioned once or twice, and visibly perked up a bit at the mention.]

[Action] its_rose_damnit May 16 2011, 03:56:16 UTC

Understandable. I do hope Jade arrives in good time once he's informed.

[Hell no. He saw through that plan and had just the right counter. Besides, he has a better relationship with the boy anyway. It'd be easier for Jade to examine and relay any information - not him.

The question makes Dist glance quickly back at Ion and his lips curl into a bit of a smirk.]

It seems he hasn't shed one of his more characteristic traits. He's overly trusting.

[Action] offallingsnow May 16 2011, 03:59:01 UTC

I hadn't planned on calling Jade. [What would the point be? Saphir was already here, and had Ion's trust.] Not with the intent of forcing him to come here.

[but there are more important things at hand than this half-veiled argument about whether or not Dist is staying. Nephry sighs and walks over to Ion again]

Are you hungry?

[Action] soreplaceable May 16 2011, 04:05:44 UTC

[Ion looks up at Nephry with that same curious face, not quite understanding what she's asking. He registered it was a question, but it wasn't a question he knew the answer to.]

Hungry? [He says the word as though he has no idea what it means.]

[Action] its_rose_damnit May 16 2011, 04:13:25 UTC

[Dist had a witty remark waiting, but was cut off when Nephry, of all people, ignored him. How could she--?! Hmph, well then! Dist observes the scene for a moment or two longer, just to see how it pans out, before gazing longingly at the door and heading towards it. She seemed to have everything under control, so maybe if he just sneaked away quietly...]

[Action] offallingsnow May 16 2011, 04:16:57 UTC

Saphir, stay with Ion while I get something for him out of the kitchen. [and she's looking right at him, brown eyes narrowed (in a way that is probably scary-familiar for him) to meet his]

He trusts you, and I don't want anything to happen to him.
