It's... very calming... but also a little stressful and exciting... you'll... never know what might come up. You should try it some time." Ross knew he needed to switch the conversation. Preferably to something he knew about, and that wasn't fishing. But how would Ross connect fishing to... literally anything? It wasn't like there was a readily available topic to bridge the gap between fishing and the M79 Thumper, was there? Unless...
"It's really helped me out when I get stressed out. Being a world leader, especially here, isn't all peachy, as I'm sure you know from your own experience. It's hard work, and sometimes you just need a break. Usually when I'm not fishing, I'm at the range getting some practice in. Say, you like to shoot, Furia? I'm personally not much of a disciplined shooter, I just like to blow shi-- stuff up. But I've got some friends who are into target shooting and that sort of thing. They say it's more fun that way. I'm not really inclined to believe them, though. I went to one of those completions, and they disqualified me! Apparently they didn't allow grenade launchers onto the firing line. A darn shame. I had trained on that thing for days!"

Kiu Ghesik wrote:"Ugh, fuck me." Khensu chugged a frankly unhealthily-sized quantity of Guinness from his glass and slammed it down on the table. "I have no bloody idea. Haven't gotten to know him past 'rich, smarmy, and an insult to good taste.' I'd say I think she's in it just for the, uh, good times, but you don't live full-time with someone if that's all you care about. And, for what it's worth-" Another draught this time, just enough to steel his nerves. "-I didn't mind the comment. Didn't want this, obviously, but... the height is nice, at least. I am not going to think about the implications of that."
Khensu pushed back the barstool and stood, straightening out his back. The fatigues, he had to admit, moved quite well. And he was certainly more limber like this. "Anyways, uh, if you'd like to head outside again I think this has all more or less started to die down, thank God. It'd be better than this stuffy place."
Patyu would've answered Paris if it wasn't for two things.
Firstly was the fact that she was currently in something of a state of opportunistic letdown- she'd spent the past minute or so looking Paris over and trying desperately to feel something, anything about him approximating what she had two months ago. But no such luck, and she merely found herself scared, alone, and grasped by a desire to do what she could to help someone she rightly guessed shared that loneliness.
The second was that after coming to that realization she had wrapped him in her traditional gesture of sympathy, the rolhug. As Paris asked her how she felt about going to face Etor he was met with Patyu closing those scared eyes and pressing herself into him once more, gripping her arms around his waist and sighing.
After a moment of choking back tears and fighting the urge to break down into a blob-puddle-thing with a vocabulary consisting of "I'm sorry" and incoherent blubbering sounds she opened her eyes to see him looking sympathetically down at her. "I... yes, I... I w-would, he d-deserves to be h-happy." The unspoken and still-stuttered y-you... no, we do t-too hung in the air between them, and Patyu closed her eyes once more. She was distinctly aware of the ears capping her head drooping like the muffs of a sad little fur hat.
This... this needed to end. Somehow. But how? What was there left to do?
Something. There was something that had to be done. And the slightest idea of what it was had begun to form in her mind. But that could wait for later- for now, there was a President to make amends with.

Brettenwald wrote:Paris dutifully returned the rolhug and even threw in a bit of a headpat for good measure. Never a touchy-feely kind of person, he nevertheless knew that Patyu most definitely was. Unbeknownst to Patyu he'd been trying to find something to remind him of what he-she had seen in her two months ago as well, but there wasn't anything there. Well, there was some kind of love, of course, but that wasn't anything beyond an empathetic and inherently decent man wanting to alleviate the suffering of a smol emotional wreck of a catgirl whose current state was 100% his fault. "Well, then." He stood up and took her hand, and the pair eventually found Etor drinking a martini and chatting with a woman unfamiliar to the two. "Hello, Etor, it's good to see you again. Listen, Patyu and I need to talk to you about, er, the thing. Western Fardelshufflestein? That thing." Rather unexpectedly, it was Etor who led the pair into Ross' den, shut the door, and began to speak.

Aqua Wyvern scales and feathers start to rattle and shake, with yellow sparks coming out of the cracks. After a couple of moments passed, a bright light comes from her mouth, and she fires it to a tree. The light, shaped in a sphere, stops at the tree, brightening up the area as if it were daylight, and able to be seen from under the cracks of a closed door.

Amadeus, being impressed by Aqua Wyvern's power, stood in awe, not noticing that a man had come out of a building. The man had came out of the building to check and see what the light was coming from, with his hand protecting his eyes. Not noticing Amadeus nor Jakob, the man set his eyes on Aqua Wyvern, as she was what caught his eyes first. She had heard him opening the door, and looked towards him, believing him to be a threat to Jakob.
AW[moving into a position to protect Jakob]: "Jakob, it seems that we have an onlooker."
It was at that moment that Amadeus and Jakob turned and saw the man, and they knew that he was not looking at them, but at Aqua Wyvern. Amadeus recognized the man as Nicholas Furia, the president of Langenia. He had previously seen him somewhere, but he could not remember exactly where. Amadeus walked up to Furia, and decided to strike up a conversation

She wanted to say something, she really did, but... the words wouldn't come. She was so sure she had done something wrong, that she was here to be reproached for her selfishness and her gluttony and even her regret, but the people here- they were... sorrowful.
They were here to apologize.
They didn't need to apologize- Patyu was the one who needed to apologize, for... for everything. But... they were still talking, and she was too ashamed to try and force her own words into their midst. And so, as Etor flopped onto a couch, Patyu settled herself down next to him and taking a gentle hold of one hand in her own fixed his brown eyes in her own warm hazel.
"I, uh-" Patyu's tongue stuck to the roof of an arid mouth as she tried to speak. "I... t-thank you for not... not... not being, uh... mad, I... I k-know I hurt you and I r-regret it." She let Etor's hand go and wrapped her arms over her own chest, trying to hug the panic back inside her. It's fine, things are fine now, no one's going to hurt me...
"N... no one's going... going to hurt..." Patyu gulped and, in a gesture perhaps just a tad bit too reminiscent of a certain car ride for the avoidance of flashbacks on the part of the man sitting next to her, leaned over to give Etor a gentle hug. Her cheek pressed into his shoulder, and she sat silently, listening to his shallow, drained breathing. "...no one's going to hurt anyone anymore. At least, I w-won't."
Patyu let Etor go and scooted herself back on the couch, facing Ross and Paris as they continued their conversation. It was... unnerving to see Ross again, she knew, and she was certainly rather scared of him, but... Paris seemed comfortable enough around him, and Ari was of the same persuasion, apparently, so it was at least somewhat safe to tolerate him. Actually, Patyu thought, it would be interesting to talk to Ari later- get an idea about what Ross was like. All she knew of him was that mess with the castle, morning at the Fardelshufflesteiner hotel, and a strained conversation that same afternoon. He was probably just fine in person.
Still though... something about him raised her haunches.
But regardless how she felt about Ross, he seemed to be leaving nonetheless, as wrapping up his conversation with Paris he exited the den and shut the door behind him with a clack. As one Paris and Patyu turned to stare at each other.
What with all this sudden tension in the room, Etor was probably feeling incredibly uncomfortable.
"Paris, I..." Suddenly, an image entered into Patyu's mind. A picture of reconciliation, of peace. She stood from the couch and took Paris' hands in her old, a gesture that would have seemed incredibly romantic if the sentiments they had shared two months ago were not mortally wounded, if not dead and buried. Pulling him towards the couch, she wrapped her erstwhile comrades- both Etor and Paris- in as reassuring a hug as she could manage. If that was all she could do, if her body was stilled at the prospect of anything else, then she was going to do it as often as she could. Her head resting by Paris' ear, just as it had been by Etor's, she choked out what words she could through a swiftly-tightening throat:
"I've... h-hurt you. Both of you. C... could you forgive me?"

"Bodyguard, yes. I suppose I am." Khensu leaned into a non-mangled section of the railing ringing the patio, staring out across a well-maintained, tropical green lawn at the swaying palm treeline. "Well... not entirely. It's complicated, I'm... a friend, let's say. The word is khaiteghn, I'm not sure how it translates."
A pause, then, and something of a revelation: "I'm not entirely sure how I learned this language, anyways. More time-fuckery, I suppose."
"Anyways," Khensu started, pushing aside that particular existential crisis. "It could essentially mean 'comrade', except in a familial sense- a friend who works with and fights with close friends. I stand as Ari's second, and I go with her in raiding parties, so for all practical purposes I act as a bodyguard. I'm here to look after Patyu, though. He- she- uh, Patyu is, well... much more important to Ari than the rest of us."
At the somewhat stunned look on Marco's face, Khensu realized precisely what he had just said and found himself flushing a deep shade of beet. Goddammit, why does this body flush so easily? "I, ah, not like that. Ari hasn't... she hasn't had any consorts before now. Patyu, uh- well, they're very close friends. They've known each other since they were very small. We all have, khaiteghn are often raised together, but those two... Elder Meghuri- that's Ari's mother, by the way, her father's widow- she used to joke that if Ari were the man and Patyu the woman they'd make a perfect couple. She called him Patyadrisi once or twice, if I remember right; 'little Patyi.' Mother, I've never seen someone blush as deeply as that poor boy did. Odd to see Patyu now, he seems so happy to be in the same place."
Khensu blinked to see himself still gazing out at the treeline, his focus on a place thousands of miles away, and shaking his head turned his focus back to the sharp-dressed man beside him. "I, ah... sorry. I rambled."
