Lium

"It's not as real as you may think it to be. I have found several trees and other objects laying on different floors that have been glitched out. Almost see through, like they didn't quite get made with everything else." Letting his other leg fall with a small puff of dirt. Getting into his coat, pulling out a small bag of Honey Buns he snagged from the guild hall. Taking a bite when the question was popped. The question that everyone seemed to want to know, what makes the person with the orange icon different from the rest of the players in Aincrad. At least it was being asked, most people would just flee at the sight.

"In one of the last few floor raids, I stole a ship with a friend. It was the only way I was getting out of there alive." Taking another bite, it was one hell of a day. Being shot at from every which way direction. They were lucky to get out when they did. "You are asking a lot of questions, my turn." Another bite as he thinks. "Why are you out here alone? You don't seem like a fighter, you have no armor that I can tell. You know outside the wall even being on floor one is dangerous." Pondering why, "And you can't tell me its because you saw me and wanted to chat..." adding on cause to be honest he didn't think he was that interesting.

Sitting under one of the trees near the beginning city, one leg out the other crunched up. A small book, very uninteresting but from what he saw from the NPC the other day Lium had to get a better knowledge on how they were supposed to act. Words that they usually said. Things were changing around here and for the life of him couldn't figure why or how all of it was connected. A shadow of a figure was moving closer in his right most peripheral vision. Hand stops flipping through pages a waits for them to get closer. Nothing happens other than words being spoken to him. Good they were not something or someone that wanted to kill him. Glancing up, it was a girl, long white hair. It wasn't the woman that frequented Firm Anima as of late, the voice was all wrong too. 

"Those friends are on a different floor, and those friends," pointing to the guards that were manning the gates of the Town of Beginnings "Would see my head on a platter if I got too close." Folding his book, he would have to continue this later. "Besides, the view is rather nice down here," not speaking that most his days consisted of being up in an air ship. Where he was looking now was the forest, "If you watch the trees over there, every now again you'll see a boar or two pop up from seemingly nowhere. That means that a player has killed a beast else where and this is there spawn point." It might of been boring for most but Lium just found it fascinating.

"Okay," repeating back to her. Maybe he finally got through to her... maybe. only time would really tell. There was a cave entrance up ahead, the old man starts to walk forward into that said cave. Getting to his knees and begins to dig with his hands. A small chest is lifted toward to two. Entering the cave, they were no longer getting pelted with tiny tan shards, "Thank you both, as promised..." Opening the chest and lifting up a little tan light. It was almost like a small fire being held in the hand. Lium would take it first and it vanishes in his hands. Lium glows for a moment before Sam does the same. 

The old man starts walking back, he decided that he no longer needed company seeing that the only issue that he would have encountered was gone, he said it would be fine. Sam and Lium decide to sit against a boulder that was near where they stood. They talked for a while before Sam fianly past out, head laying on a leg. Lium would keep watch, staring at the midnight sky, through the storm that seemed like it was dying down ever so slightly, wondering if there was another life out there after death... Would they just be gone if they fell in the game or if they would go to a peaceful place beyond the stars...

"Sorry they didn't want what I offered..." glancing to the old man who was walking back just a bit. "Dude, I stole a ship. I haven't killed no one. You have my word that your safe with me." He stops walking back, begins the laugh before starting to hack up a storm. "Sorry..." the man says when he got a chance to breathe again... "No beef, anyway." Looking to Sam as he pulls his sleeve back down. It was a bit too cold for that. They begin to walk again but this time all of them together, side by side. "I was missing for over 2 years and when I finally escaped and found you, Kat was already in your life. At that time it didn't seem like you wanted me there so I confessed and let you have your space." Pulling Sam into a half hug, it was the least he could do. There was no speaking for a while after that, the man pointed out the direction they needed to head and they started moving faster only a bit though.

"You asked me if I still loved you, yes... That is a stupid question though coming from you," He could feel Sam start to pull away to maybe argue but he kept her close. "What I want doesn't matter Sammy. You were just almost married and when you and Kat broke up it dam near killed you." Hearing sniffles again, he give a small sigh. "I will always be here when you need me but you need to take a break. I refuse to be your rebound..." Kissing the top of her head, they were damn near the same height... "Later down the line if you feel like you still want to be with me then we will try, but you have to mourn your first true love first." Letting that all sink in... they were close to the old mans treasure...

"Go fucking figure, so close yet so far away..." replying to what Sam had said. Turning to Sam now, realizing that there was more foot fall near by then just them. It was very faint, but it was so close, Lium raises a hand up toward his group as to stop for a moment. Liums eyes shift through the storm, slowly to find who else was here. In the small distance ahead of them there was a group of people who seemed to be pulling there weapons out. "Stay here..." saying in a stern voice before walking forward with his hands up. "Can I help you with something, we really don't want any trouble here and I will be more than happy to let you just walk away." He sees one of them walking forward toward him, a sword draw already as he seemed to want a fight. "Fine, if that is how it's going to be, don't say I didn't warn you." Lium pulls up his sleeves with a sigh.

Lium | HP: 360/360 | EN: 54/54 | DMG: 17 | MIT:20 | ACC:1

Glancing back to make sure the old man was still following, he was slowly. Eyes lock on Sam, her head was down walking side by side with the old guy. Looking back ahead of them as he continued, "I waited every night out by the fountain to see if you would just randomly appear, but you didn't. After a month, our other people started to get restless and wanted to start prolonging our training sessions through the night so they could get stronger. With regret I agreed and that was the night that everything fell apart." Glancing back for only a moment, the wind harsher than ever. They further they walked, the harder it became to sift through the storm but he kept walking.

"We were out in the middle off the fields, killing boars and that is when we were approached by these players. At first, I though nothing of it but then they stabbed one of our friends. I got grabbed and punched the dude in the face, tried to help the others but I got grabbed again. Got kneed in the stomach, grabbed his leg and made him flip and elbowed the one grappling me in the chest. Next thing I knew everyone was gone... Dead..." Eyes followed to the girl who now had horror painted against those eyes of hers. Lium continued trekking through the storm, letting that sink in for a moment.

Sniffling from behind him, good it meant that she was listening. "I am sure that you heard what our friends were saying about you, that you were way to bossy, that they didn't want you to be on our team anymore," turning slightly back to see Sam's head nodding to the comment. "Yea, well I told them no man or woman left behind and without you nothing would get done. I knew that and they knew that which is why they stop harassing you about your arrogance." Head shift back to see the path before them, "Truth is, if they didn't agree to keep you in the group I would have left with you." Pushing his hair out from his face, he knew there was a reason he wore a hat.

Letting that sink in for a moment before continuing, "When we all agreed that SAO was going to be a blast, decided to leave and come back to the game we were currently playing after we beat SAO, I put that Nerve Gear on and looked for you right away. Then it got so crowed so fast and it was hard to see anyone that was recognizable through the huge group. I stayed in that beginning city, the others found me as it started to clear but you were still no where to be found." Sam already knew this but she didn't hear it all because there was no time in between her yelling at him...

Lium | HP: 360/360 | EN: 54/54 | DMG: 17 | MIT:20 | ACC:1

That would make Lium stop only for a brief moment. Head twists slightly to look over his shoulder toward her. Sighing, he did want to talk but this... this was all a lot. It almost seemed like Sam was desperate to get answers that she was not ready to hear. Lat wind smacked harshly against the side of his face before turning back and beginning to walk again. Hear light foot falls behind him, gave him the inclining that they were still following him. Good... Of course he still loved her, why would she suggest anything else. 

Lium says nothing for a while while they trended through the storm, letting Sam soak in that question that she asked. He could only imagine what her mind was doing right now, by not answering her question did she think that he didn't care... After all this time... Was she really that rash in thinking that Lium would think any other way about her. Thinking it was about time for her to get the truth, his side of the story...

"When I first met you, you were brash, hard to work with and demanding, but you knew exactly what you wanted. Playing all those games, your voice, the first I heard when I woke up and the last before heading to bed. It's what made me want to get up every morning. When I heard about SAO, I knew that I just had to get it, I would have bought it for you if you didn't already have it in your wish list. I thought that it would allow me to finally put a face to that angelic voice." He knew that he was speaking a bit loud but he need to make sure that she could hear him over the storm. Pausing for a moment though, allowing it to sink in...

Lium | HP: 360/360 | EN: 54/54 | DMG: 17 | MIT:20 | ACC:1

Right then Sammy begins to fall back toward the ground, Lium very quickly shifts her feet and catches her, more or let it a way of when you would dip a female while you danced. With the other hand, he lightly wipes the tear from her cheek. Sam's face turns cherry red, could be seen even in the darkness. Gazing into her eyes for only a moment before pulling her up to her feet. Still holding her in a half hug, "I could never be mad at you Sam," thinking very carefully on what he was to say next. "Yes, you tore my heart heart form the roots that held it, but being mad... Never." Kissing her on the forehead lightly before releasing her. After all this time, being mad was a useless feeling unless it was rendered to be aimed toward success, like those people that held him captive. Spending those few years alone in a prison cell, it gave him a lot of time to think. If Lium had even an inkling that confessing his love to her would have hurt her, he would of stayed quiet. "I will be whatever you need me to be Sammy." Lium would continue walking, glancing back to make sure old dude was still behind them, he was...

Lium | HP: 360/360 | EN: 54/54 | DMG: 17 | MIT:20 | ACC:1

Eyes stay locked on her even when hers leaves his gaze. Taking off his had and letting it vanish into his inventory. It was clearly hard for her to talk to him. What happened... They use to be able to talk and joke with no real effort. Now it was harder than ever. When he escaped that cavern, all he could think about was getting back to Sam, finding his Rose again. Didn't even know if she was still alive only that he couldn't give up trying to find her. When she was finally found, he realized that she was with another of the opposite sex none the less, not realizing how serious it was but knew that he couldn't hold what he felt for her any longer. That might of been a mistake cause now, it seems as though it ruined their friendship which was the one thing that he worried about. The though of finding Samantha was what kept him going in that entrapment. It was what made him not change sides. The best thing now was just to be there for her. Lium didn't want to fuck it up any worse than it was. "I forgive you Sammy, your fine..." he had a million and one things that he wanted to say to her but he kept is thoughts to himself...

232591 | CD:4 (No Damage)

Lium | HP: 360/360 | EN: 54/54 | DMG: 17 | MIT:20 | ACC:1

Leaning against a boulder that liters the sands, a piece of tumble weed held lightly in his mouth. Seeing the small group come into view, smiles but then sees that man in robes look and him an back away behind Sam... Raising a brow... Very odd. Never had a quest NPC do that before. "It's going okay. Mass amount of mess around the docks, its a bit unworldly how much I have to clean up after the mooks." A chime to the HUD as Sam sends him a party invite and a quest suggestion. Accepting both, glancing to the details. "Zamek, is it?" Seeing the man pull his hood down further. Crazy to think about. If the old hoot was scared of him, what else was of importance to take notes about. Was it just him or was there others. Did they have different dialoged from their game script? Curious... very curious...

Leaving the old man be for now, Lium wanted to see how he reacted to being around him. "Lets head out, there is a lot of ground to cover and the sun is already setting."

The others follow suit, the sun began to set, the air starting to become musky, he could hear the man behind him hacking. Moving slower than usual cause it was the pace of Zamek, which was fine, it would just give the opportunity for Lium to have a conversation the Sam.

Lium | HP: 360/360 | EN: 54/54 | DMG: 17 | MIT:20 | ACC:1

Picking up crates and moving them. Thinks have been very busy and the ship was starting to get messy. It was almost like no one knew how to clean up after themselves. Walking down into the under belly of the craft, it was sorta dark, that was nothing new. Finding a barrel labeled food... that was new. "Does nobody know where shit goes around here..." Lium calls out to the other mates that were somewhere on the deck. Picking it up, it was heavier than it should be... It began to move in his hands, "What the hell," dropping the large wooden container now. It crashes to the ground and breaks into shards, in its place was a Nobody trying to collect the apple that were rolling away from him sitting on his ass. With a mouth full saying "You called?" Lium has two fingers at the bridge of his nose rubbing. Right then his HUD chimes, glancing at the message. A smirk peers on the mans face. "Yea guess you have to clean this up..." saying as he starts walking up the stairs. "But wait you broke it..." "AND" Lium replies as he was already on the upper docks climbing down the latter the aid Sam. It was a bit surprising though to here from the girl. He'd take it though.

Lium | HP: 360/360 | EN: 54/54 | DMG: 17 | MIT:20 | ACC:1
 

Seeing his friend walk out, getting ready to run to her aid if it was needed. Instead, the girl walks to them. The two of them heard everything that was said inside. It was exactly how Lium thought it was going to be. Kat was still furious, and Sam was in denial. Thinking that maybe the reason Sam came back out so calm was because she thought that they had a chance to be together. In all the relationships that he saw fail around him in the real world, they all started and ending something similar to this. Madly in love, huge fight, think that everything will be fine if they just took that last foot forward then BAM, nothing... Why would this time be any different. It pained Lium to see Sammy in pain, but it hurt him even more to know that she is the one that caused that pain. 

Not taking any sudden movement, not wanting her to run off. "I saw you walk out of the Forest of Memories," pausing for a moment trying to choose his words very carefully, "When you sent me a message saying that you were tying the knot, I waited for another message for the location. When it never came, I went to your house." Gaging her reaction to all of this, it was honestly weird see how calm she was. The girl's eyes veer downward away from his gaze. "You never showed, so I went to James to find Kat standing there alone." It was sad that Sam was possible of doing this, but he would get to the bottom of why...

Thinking for a moment, "I think that we should start by retracing your steps in the misted forest. Figure out why you were gone for so long." Sam simply nods her head slowly and begins walking back to the Firm Anima Guild Hall. Lium darts an eye to Freyd, "I don't know the forest very well, just know that it is a dangerous place if you follow the wrong path. I will keep pace with Sam but if you know that we are running into something bad please speak up." Completely serious face now. He was determined to figure out why his friend fell of the face of the world for a week...

There was stuff laying all over the lawn. The couch was half out of the door, hinges to it were broken outward. Standing with his arms folding leaning against the outside wall of the house with his eyes closed listening to the outrage just inside. Lifting one eye open hearing Freyd's voice. A soft sigh as a spatula wizzes past. "She saved me the trouble of bashing the door open myself," saying as he pushes off the wall. Peaking in the building around the large weight in the way. Without looking toward him, "Its been about 20 minutes. I have been camping here since what was supposed to be her wedding day, and this is the first I've seen of her since then." Pushing himself back against the wall again as a lamp comes spiraling out. 

Eyes shutting again, head lightly hitting the tiles. "I have known this woman for 10 years, and in that 10 years I have never seen or rather heard her this bad." Sniffling now coming from the main hall. Poking his head around the corner again. Waiting for her to glance this way but never does. Sam is just sitting there staring at the fireplace. "Sammy, I know that you could kick my ass, but you're not gonna if I walk in there are you?" Nothing from Sam, listening for other foot fall or notion that Kat would be in there. "I think she is in there alone," cautiously placing hands on the couch to move it slightly out of the way. Slowly walking inside, it was a mess. There was glass everywhere, the only thing that seemed unmoved was a photo of Sam and Katoka on the top of the fireplace. Carefully walking toward the kitchen, shards laying across every inch of the tile. Moving to Sammy's room he grabs a blanket off the bed. Stepping over a table leg coming back to the main room, the girl was still unmoved. 

Wrapping the blanket around the woman, Lium gets onto the ground next to her, pulling her into a bear hug tightly knowing that there was going to be some struggle. Trying to move to get away, "Shhhh, calm, shhh," as he moves the blanket more around as his grip becomes tighter. Eventually Samantha stops moving and begins soaking his garb. Glancing toward the door in a small voice, "She is so cold," with a worried expression pasted on his face.   

Sitting there on the steps of Sam's abode, she had to come back eventually right? It has been a week and over a dozen messages had been sent to her just by Lium alone. There was supposed to be a wedding, but Sam never showed up.  After a few days Lium thought that is was just cold feet and that she needed a few days to recoup. After a few more days, he started thinking that something must have happened to her. The thought crossed his mind to send out a search party. Lium kept glancing to his friends list to make sure her name wasn't crossed out. Sending another message with nothing in return. Starting to grow worried, that the woman that he once loved could be missing or worse. A few more messages... still nothing. 

A few more days pass, holding a paper cup full of as much coffee as it could hold. Nawding off was not an option. His leg was bounding as his finger was tapping on the cup. Suddenly hearing foot fall in the distance... Sam walks out from the misted forest and just stands there staring. "Where the hell have you been?" Sam says nothing. Lium gets up from where he was sitting placing the cup on the stairs. "Sam you look like fucking hell..." Still not a word from her. The woman beings walking toward him, "Sam tell me what happened, please..." brows nerrow as she walks up the stairs, not a peep. Lium tries to grab her hand to get her attention, looking down toward him, her face looked almost zobified. Jerking from his grip, the door slams dam near in is face. Moments later he hears crashing within the building. Pounding on the door now, "Sam... Sam let me in... Sam..."

After a few minutes, it still sounded like she was breaking everything in the house. Who knew she had it in her.

Opening his HUD now, scrolling though the Firn Anima Guild names... Tapping a name and sending out a message:

Freyd: "Whatever your doing stop. Sam showed back at her place and it sounds like a typhoon of destruction in her house. She locked herself in and it almost seemed like she couldn't hear me. Help..."

Lium | HP: 340/340 | EN: 52/52 | DMG: 17 | MIT: 12 | ACC: 1

Catching himself on a tree, breathing hard, trying to catch his breath. Turning his head back, the guards were no longer chasing him. Lium reals his fist back, it glows as he punched the tree has hard as he possibly can. The tree began to timber from its roots. Lium was pissed now, turning toward that town Kodo walked into. "Damn it..." Quickly opening his HUD, sending a message to Freyd.

With the a chime of his HUD, the message was sent. Sitting down on the newly sided tree, staring at the town. Times like this Lium wished that he didn't have that icon above his head. He could properly help anyone. Putting his elbows on his knee's with his head in his hands. "My words have failed me, maybe it's only good with girls... No Sam left... I am a bad talker..." Giving a sigh as he waits for a message back...

"Hmm, I must of missed that stage. I just remember anger, revenge, sadness then well... Celeste." Lium chuckles a bit. "Which stage would Celeste be?" Glancing toward the door with a finger on his chin. He honestly didn't know. "Anyway, yeah, that is a good idea. Freya would kill us both if she found out anything happened to the kid." Starting to make his way toward that door, putting a hand on the nob, thinking about Freyd's last conversation a while back... "Hey Freyd," his head turns to meet Freyd, "My icon might be dangerous in most ways, but I can promise there is nothing more to it than doing something stupid for a girl that I might actually like more than a friend. It might become an asset down the road, though if I am careful." A smile toward the man before walking out. There was something there, and even if Cel didn't think the same way, it was just nice to be happy again.

-The witch, where is the witch...- "Oh, yeah, this way." Liums feet start to move forward and after a little bit of time the yellow mist started to become heavy. God, he wished that he had tracking right about now. Squinting his eyes through the mist trying so hard to see him, anything... "Shit, shit, shit..." Lium starts to run through, he knew that that tower was just beyond this gas. A sharp exhale, running... Hoping that he could find Kodo in time. Flapping of wings could be heard in the distance. "Damn it," saying in a low voice as he slides to a stop. Eyes darted around and finally he sees movement in the a small jaunt away. Lium runs and tackles the dude, they both crash to the ground as Lium pushes a finger against his lips to hush the man. Lium points to the tower just ahead of them, then points up at the monkey's circling the building. Lium gets up and helps the boy up. Lium practically drags Kodo back through the mist until they was standing back at the guild hall.

"What the hell were you thinking. The gate is that way, you were just about to walk into a shit show that would have most certainly killed you." Lium narrows his eyes to the ground. Kodo eyes veer away from Liums gaze. Grabbing both sides of Kodo's head to force the gaze back. "You can resent me all you want, but I will not let you die because you think it is the best option. There are people amongst the living that care about you. Freyd me and even Freya. You are not a burden that we have to bare, you are simply a friend in need. You are not some mistake as much as you want to believe." Mentioning his sister was not going to help anything, it just seemed to make things worse. Kodo's face was blank as he started back. "We are not leaving you alone, simply because too many people have died already. You will not be allowed to join that body count." Holding his grip as his eyes move back and forth within Kodo's.  

Feeling a bit sorry for the boy, but it was not what he needed. To have pity for him... How could he, just months prior he was in the exact same spot. "Freyd is right, I am still trying to figure it out and it has not been easy in the slightest." Getting up from his chair, Lium was just listening as they spoke and some things had come to light that was not thought about in a while.

"When they first found me, I was so pissed. Angry at the world for what had happened to me and my friends. All I wanted was revenge, every moment of the day, it was all I thought about." Lium walks to Kodo and leans against the door frame crossing her arms against his chest. "I lost the woman of my dreams because of these creeps." Kicking Kodo's leg softly with a smile. "That guy gave me a reason to keep on my feet. Firm Anima gave me a purpose, something to focus on. Staying stuck on something that you couldn't possibly change is only going to make you crazy." Lium right then holds out a hand to Kodo, "We can give you that support system if you allow us to. You can trust us Kodo, you owe it to Kaylee to at least try, don't you?"

"Look man, it all happened so fast. As far as I'm concerned it happened while you front line people were dealing with that Gabby dude. Kinda surprised to see he was on our side at the end of the day." Lium stretches, his arms above and behind his back for a moment with a yawn. "We stole that ship and everything on it, we saved those refugee's that are our crew now. They refer to Celeste as the Raven Queen," Lium chuckles at this a bit. Buttoning his cuff on his sleeve. "We had to find a way out and up with follows that couldn't go the same  way the others could, so we did. We taught them to fight and they became our mates, we fixed up the ship and arrived at the battle. It all happened really fast." Glancing up at the icon of his, shaking his head. 

"To be perfectly honest, I really didn't notice it at first. With some readjustments that ship also became our home, Celeste, I, and this guy Nobody and our crew." Lium hoped that it was enough to allow Freyd to be okay with this. Lium was also growing fond of Celeste but wasn't going to add that part. Was unsure what he was feeling and wanted to make sure it was really and not just all in his head like Sam was. He was glad that little Sammy moved on, but he had to as well.

Hopping of as rushing himself toward Celeste. "DAMN," watching as she practically rips the metal off its hinges. Lium knew that she was strong from the day by day tasks that they found themselves doing but this was just pure amazing. There was no other way to explain it... Suddenly Lium was pushed against the wall, but not my a man, but multiple as they started running and jumping off that ledge. Wonder where they were going... One of them got spicy though, and attempts to pull a weapon on him. Lium just smirks, shifting his feet as the weapon creates sparks against the wall. "Bad move dude," saying with another shift as his open palm strike the man in the back, slamming him into the wall. Being knocked the fuck out, Lium just chuckle. "Why does no one listen when I warn them." Shaking his head as he looks back to Sam, he waves a hand forward as he rushed behind Celeste with Sam at his toes.

"Kodo that is precisely the very problem here. You do not understand." Setting a plate in front of Freyd, before he realized what he had just done. It didn't click until just now that he instinctually made the food. Shrugging it off for now, as he sits across from Freyd. "God only knows if that boy joined that orange group, the name is not coming to me..." A slight pause to glance at Freyd. Lium knew that name well, he just didn't want to give Kodo any bright idea's. "Kodo even if you just want to go and confront him, you will get there and all that anger that has built up for these last 3 years of veggie state will come rushing right back to you in that moment." Glancing back to Kodo who was just shaking his head.  "OMG Kodo," saying with his mouth full, swallowing before continuing, "If you go through with this you will die. There was a reason why I had to stop my heart felt mission. It was getting to dangerous." They just sit there in silence for a moment eating.

"Freyd am I stupid, or just not saying the right things because I really don't feel like this is a good idea by any means..." Lium had an irritated look painted on his face. He couldn't even look at Kodo right now...

"No, plain and simple no." Taking a deep breath as he puts fingers on the bridge of his nose. Opening those large metal doors with his other hand, "Okay, let me put it this way. By haperstance that we do find this dude, what are you going to do, say. You are going to take one look at this guy and instantly want to kill him." Turning back to Kodo. He knew revenge, how it burned in every bone, every thought. At first it was all he wanted to do when the field became a possibility again. "You are what level 4 now, 5. What if you get to this guy and he has people on his side, became a ruthless man just because he could." Kodo was saying nothing an it pissed Lium off. Grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge, "Kodo, it has been years. While you were sitting there mourning your dead sister, he was most likely leveling a shit ton. Something like this is never that easy, you can't just go into something think that it is going to go your way because honestly 9 times out of 10 it doesn't." Taking a seat at one of the chairs. Quickly opening his HUD sending a message, Liums finger moved so fast. He was starting to get the mechanics of this game.

-POP- Taking a drink of that water wishing that he could be having something stronger right about now. Maybe Freyd could get it through Kodo's thick skull.

"Don't look at me, I didn't do shit," shouting to @Celeste as he grabs the man from Sam as she wanders off again. Watching her for a moment, Sam runs out of view. Lium started asking around the ship for anyone who knew how to drive this thing. So far all the answers were no. Glancing to Sam as she brings another soldier that looked like he need to sit down. Samantha was on a roll tonight. Helping her and the guy get on the ship, hearing Celeste call out. It was almost time to go. "Damn, damn, damn," glancing around frantically of the edge on the ai ship. Everyone had pretty much left. Looking to the steering wheel with a huge deep breath, "I can do this, I've done it before... Easy Peazy..." saying as he hops a few barrels. "Tell me when to lift off, while I figure this damn thing out." A ship sure, he's driven them before in a game or two, but a flying ship... How hard could it be? Starting to mess with the controls a bit, there was a lot of them... "I can do this," glancing to each button, lever, key placement. Another deep breath, "I can do this, god please let me be able to do this..." Lium says as he starts to prepare for launching off, the moment he gets that okay, they would be off.

"Of course we're fine," wrapping an arm around Kodo's shoulder. "For you first time kid you did great, I think I need to teach you a few things though." Turning his head to Freyd. "I have him, I think Eruda needs a little attention," pointing toward her. Eruda was just standing there staring at the pendent on the ground. Lium walks off with Kodo, it might take them a little time to get out of here, but for the most part, there was no other true danger. That was already taken care of. The large bruit NPC came with them, not saying a word, just helped guide them out. When they were out of earshot from the other 2, "I think you and I need to have a little chat. That look that reaction, I have been there. Let me tell you a little story." Lium has gotten better at handling what little issues he's had, thanks to a few select people. He has noticed the influx of people coming out from the dark and after assessing the situation, he offers the help whether they want it of not. Something about it just made him feel better about what happened in his past.

Lium runs into the fray and just when he pulls his hand back, the creature shifts slightly staring him down. The Axe swings down and Lium had to move or get smooshed. He would see Eruda right then bash the creature in the face with her shield, rearing back holding it's nose, dropping his weapon. Shaking his head as to get something off. Lium right then would glance around, trying to figure out what he could do to help since his attack didn't go through. "Hmm" Lium glances to the large things feet. Lium was kinda smallish and that thing was kinda bigish... This could work...

Lium quickly runs behind the Minotaur, gets down on all fours and burrows his face beneath his arms. Moments later it backs up just enough to trip backwards over Liums body. Slamming to his back, Lium swiftly gets to his feet with a smile. "It worked, I can't believe that worked. WAHOO," saying cheerfully as he gets into an almost defensive position staring the thing down who was struggling to get to it's feet now.
