	Sector 2. There's a map on the device. [ but he's already stepping outside his apartment, closing the door and locking it out of habit, rather then intent. His sister is here, what cared he for a few knick knacks and broken dreams? That house was dead. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Sector 2. Bai peers across the border between sector 6 and sector 5. It's so clean and sterile, unlike the fields of South America. She's hesitant to venture out there.] How's the terrain? [Is it safe?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ he pulled up short, hand on a railing as he scanned the dome from just outside his apartment. The terrain... ] Small town friendly. It won't take long to walk around the dome. [ and it was safe, within reason. But then he paused and asked the question weighing on him. He could not wait, he did not wish to. ] Where are you? [ he'll meet her half way ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[It takes her a moment to access the map and figure out her position.] The border of sector 6. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ he nodded, easing down the hall at a swift pace, not enough to draw suspicion, but quick enough to eat away the miles. Old habits died hard. ]

In ten minutes, I'll be there.

[ and he ended the feed despite how difficult it was to lose that connection. He had to though. There was little need to leave it on.

In ten minutes, he'll appear walking along the edge between Sector 5 and 6, careful to stay on the safe side of the barrier. While Hei and Bai alike could handle any creature that dared to attack them, he'd made an art of keeping a low profile. But he did not wish for Bai to slip into her deep slumber and so his stride lengthened, and his gaze was sharp as he searched out the undergrowth, the hidden branches of the trees.

He did not call out her name; there was no need for that. She would show herself once she was ready. ]

	[He didn't have to walk far before with the faintest whisper of movement, Bai slid down from one of the trees.] Brother. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ his gaze flicked off to side at the slight rustle, searching. If it was a beast, he was prepared, but...

He breathed a sigh of relief as his name filtered through the canopy and he turned towards Bai's voice, still searching for her slight frame. She was here. Or at least a seeming.

He was fool enough to care not if she was real or fake. ]

Bai.

[ he stepped up to the edge of the containment field, carefully looking her over, picking out the details he remembered, drinking in the ones that he no longer could. It had been five years too long. ]

You're [ alive ] well. Did you find any trouble? [ he suspected not, if she was awake, but it wasn't just her -- their contract that was deadly. ]

	[She crossed the gap, stepping through the containment field to stand by him.] No. [She studied his face, taking in a host of details that don't fit. Something is wrong with him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ he's nearly six years older. It can shape a man, much like the soft exhale into a smile that he shows her as he reaches out for her hand, needing to touch and confirm that she's flesh and bone. ] Good. It's not safe to attack the creatures there. [ There were too many consequences here in Marina. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She hesitates less than half a second before ignoring his hand and wrapping her arms around his waist. Her power is such that she can still protect herself if it turns out he's a threat. But if it's really her brother, she can tell already how much he needs comfort.] Why would they imprison dumb creatures? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ was it so obvious? There was a time he had killed all traces of emotion, burying them deep within his blackened soul. How the mighty have crumbled... ]

They aren't from our world. If our captors have been truthful, they're sentient.

[ but he did take comfort, wrapping his arms around her shoulders, squeezing her tighter then he should despite the calmness in his voice. It had been too long since she was held in these arms. His sister, his bright light in a world of darkness.

	[Maybe not to other people, but Pai knows him better than anyone. She's spent years studying him, trying to understand the signs of his moods that she used to know so well when she was human. She has an entire dictionary of his expressions in her mind.] Who has taken us? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ he shrugged, the movement subtle as he put distance between them, glancing towards to the center of the dome. ] The wardens, but beyond that, little is known. [ he paused ] They were created by a group called, "The engineers." [ however, getting any kind of useful information out of them had been difficult at best. They so rarely dropped in. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She nods, taking this information in and filing it away. She's still trying to make sense of all the information she's been given and everything she's observed.]

Is this connected to the Gate? [She suspects not. If it were, wouldn't she be able to feel the Gate's presence still? Yet the thought of two world-changing preternatural events happening and being wholly unrelated is just as difficult to accept. She believes in coincidence, but she does not trust it.]

	[ he shook his head in the negative ] The wardens are from beyond our time. [ beyond their world ] They don't seem concerned with the usual order of physics. Many of the people here have never even heard of our world. [ to put it simply. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Beyond our time. Bai has seen enough weird things to find that easy enough to believe. And it makes some other things she's been wondering about make sense.] How long have you been here? [Days? Months? Years? Certainly much longer than she has.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ action ] bottomless_pit 2013-10-01 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	[ he inhaled, not needing to calculate the days and the hours, but doing so anyway, just one more time. ] ] Six months, by our calendar. It has been a while. [ and more then just six months. So many years between him and her; it was almost countless. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
