Coal found herself frowning a bit as she noted that her sister seemed on edge; so did silence and so did sixer. She’d raise a brow and glance between the three and well… Hearing that part the renamon-x sighed. Leaning back away from the maps.
”I’ve only been up for maybe fifteen… twenty minutes? But all right I guess.”
Coal sighed a little bit and stood up; she’d go into her sisters room. Looking to wake them up and take them to the den. Compared to the other rooms it was the most secured. Only having one proper entrance and that being to the inside of the house. Given that it was lacking any real windows.
Silence watched her youngest daughter go; uncertain of how to approach this for the moment. Just seeming outrageously thoughtful in comparison to her chipper and somewhat straightforward self. She’d follow after syre while sixer stood there, watching the twins shift from that bedroom to the ‘den’ before following after the other two.
Silence stood there with her arms folded and sixer was reading over the shoulder of the mikemon doctor. Her eyes scanning across the information that was being presented. Silence’s ears flicking and straining when some of the videos were being played. Hearing that her little girls were going to be a target made her restless. If it wasn’t for the fact that her swords were locked into their sheathed position in the house they’d probably be in attack mode for the moment.
”They’ll sleep in the den, I’ll put out the cots in there and I can easily watch the both of the-”
Silence would have finished what she had to say but sixer put a hand over her mouth. Pointing directly upwards as though motioning to the roof. She'd make a little motion indicating flapping with one of her other hands and motioned for syre to make her way out of the building. Silence gritted her teeth and well... she'd head over to where the twins were!
On mikemon's terminal?
Something is hovering over the building; small. Likely a scout. If I had to bet we're a few minutes out of the first attempt.

"... Son of a..."
On the roof, of all things? Syre grit her teeth, and gave a silent nod to Silence and Mikemon. The BlackGatomon's form was briefly enveloped in a powerful light, a Sistermon Noir appearing in its place. Syre didn't even bother going for the front door, instead opening the window to dad's office. She'd jump out, guns drawn, before simply jumping right onto the roof. What she would do next would depend on what she saw, but if there was a target, out here, this late at night?
Syre wasn't going to hesitate. A frozen bullet would be fired, intent on striking the target through the middle. It wouldn't just be Silence going to the den.
With a tug on her arm, Mikemon would have Sixer follow right along, moving swiftly with Silence to the center-most room of the cabin. And what they would find there...
... Was, thankfully, two Renamon-X, most likely confused about what was going on at all. Unlike Coal, Amber was really tired, and though she got up, the fox had made her way over to the couch to rest her head, trying to get back to sleep. She stirred once more as the door opened, groaning as she rubbed her eyes.
"Mom... dad? Ugh, what's going on -"
BANG.
That sound from outside quickly pulled Amber out of her stupor. She sat up, alert, looking right up to where she heard that noise. "... Syre's... fighting something?"
"Shh..." Mikemon gave a nod, but also put a finger to his lips, instructing her to keep her voice down. "Voices down. You two are safe here." The cat gave a smile, though Coal would see that this wasn't the 'champion' level dad here - but the mega, the doctor's feet even floating a few inches off of the ground.

Sixer knew to leave this portion to syre, she didn’t know how strong the other was. She didn’t know how powerful mikemon or silence were either. But she figured that it was right to let them handle the things here. The meicrackmon variant was ready to go downstairs to get things loaded but seeing syre jump out of the window the cat paused…
Syre’s bullet would hit home on a small flapping form; one that seemed to be thinking things over and was even holding something. Likely a walkie of some kind and it wasn’t hard for the practiced gunslinger’s bullet to hit them dead center. The frozen bullet causing the demidevimon to curse, fall to the roof and roll off of it before crashing into the snowbank. The walkie that they had landing next to them with a soft ‘thud’
AH! Mother fricken cherry sprinkles! What the heck was that for you overgrown exscuse for a doll!
It seemed like whoever this was… they were going to be playing hard to get for the golem. Not that that ever stopped syre from doing her work… or figuring out what was really going on.
Sixer blinked a bit and looked down to the mikemon; furrowing her brow. Why should she be following along? But she didn’t argue; following after the mikemon to the den. She’d stand there, leaning up against the frame of the door with silence and mikemon both being in the den. Silence went about to give amber and coal hugs; the latter of which returning it with a cheerful smile.
”We’ll explain what’s going on in a bit you two…”
Silence saw no reason to hold back from telling her daughters; she knew for a fact that they were strong enough to understand this particular venue given what had happened with the bear. Mikemon might have been in mega but it wouldn’t of taken more than a glance to note that silence’s posture had shifted from a relaxed to a fairly at the ready one. Her hand resting around the hilt of her sword. Ready to draw and strike at a moment’s notice.
Coal stared at her father for a few long moments and set down the map she had been pouring over. Her ears flicking and glancing out of the building. She could see syre. She could see another data signature too. It was weak; very very weak. Not because it was damaged but… With a hushed voice she'd ask her question.
”...Does this have to do with why ma, big sis and sixer were out so late?”
Sixer glanced at mikemon and would take a moment to step into the den, gently rubbing at her face. What was she supposed to say to these two? They were like little sisters to her too... and hearing that gunshot would alarm a lot of people in the town right? They had a very small frame of time of proper privacy now...
"What should I do D-... Mikemon?"

A direct hit.
All it took was one, and the target - a DemiDevimon - would be sent rolling from the roof, some kind of transmitter falling into the ground next to the winged demon. The rookie's protests were not met with any sort of sympathy: with the DemiDevimon in the state he was now?
Syre took her second pistol, and would press the barrel right up against the DemiDevimon's head.
"Shut the fuck up. Do anything else, and I'll shoot."
With that, the golem would pick up the walkie talkie, press it to her ear, and hit the button to open the line. She didn't say anything - rather, she wanted to see if whoever was on the other side of the line was going to talk. Why should Sixer follow along? Well, Sixer was also a potential target, and a valuable member of the family to protect - and arguably, the MeiAvengemon was in a far more precarious position than anyone else here. Amber, in the meantime, found herself returning that hug, still nervous about what was going on. She didn't understand, but for everyone to be grouped up in the middle of the house - and for Syre to be fighting - it had to be important, right?
"Yes, it has to do with that. Like mom said, we'll explain later." Mikemon gave a smile to his youngest daughter, before looking towards Amber, and then Sixer.
"The only thing I want you three to do is stay in this room with us." The feline closed his eyes, drawing his red crystal into his hand, before letting it go to float around him. "Where's Holly?"
"H-home at Luminas, I think?"
"Hm..." Holly would be safe enough there, the doctor figured. He just gave a nod to that. "What do you think, Silence? We could take them up to the Knights' base."

The demidevimon was about to say something else but with the pistol pressed against his head the rookie just shut his trap and shrank away from the much more powerful digimon. What was this? Ultimate or something? Not someone he’d want to cross. Just what was this family even?
With the button being pressed the line would seemingly be dead for a few moments. After a single moment there was a rough and rather grave sounding voice that came from it. Syre would never have heard it before; maybe have read his reports but… nothing physical.
”Idiot. I told you not to attempt it tonight and you still go through with it. I presume I’m speaking with either ‘Sixer’ or the cat Knight.”
”Boss I-”
”You’re nothing to me now D; a loose end that I can’t even tie up in the hands of someone looking to destroy my own work. So talk to me ‘kitten’. Tell me what you’re going to do. Not like it matters anyways.”
Sixer fidgeted a little bit, staring at the four others in the room. She felt a bit out of place a lot of the time but this was… certainly one of those moments that she wasn’t sure how to react. But feeling silence’s arm around her shoulders once the other retreated from her daughters; giving the big cat a squeeze and a grin.
”Holly? She’s in luminas. She had a test today and was looking for some quiet. I believe she said something about… Gaius?”
Holly had been amping up her studies ever since taking amber under her wing; which made sense given that the other mei was pretty much trying to make sure she was doing things right for them…
”Up to Vander tower? I think everyone’s there right now. Only person on patrol today is… Joseph I think actually. So it should be pretty safe. That and they still need to pick out their rooms for when they visit…”
Silence glanced at sixer; furrowing her brow a bit.
”Think we should set up one for Sixer here too?”
”Vander tower… Knight’s base?”
Coal raised her brows a bit and just nodded her head to mikemon. She didn’t know what was really going on here, but with the silence outside well… It probably wasn’t good. That and if they thought it wasn’t safe here would it really be safe to travel? She’d sigh a bit and lean back in her chair.
”Can I at least bring the tablets along so I can keep reading up on places?”

Vander Tower?
Vander Tower would work. Mikemon gave a nod towards Silence. "We'll sort rooms out later, hun. Right now, its most important to get these three over to a safe location." The doctor's ear flicked at Sixer's reply, but at this point it was clear that the MeiAvengemon was going to just be 'along for the ride' here.
As was Coal. His youngest daughter asked such an innocent question, but a potentially dangerous one: who knows what would happen if they shifted around too much? "Dad will bring you your books and your D-Terminal later, Coal. For now, I want you to do exactly what mom says." He gave Coal a confident smile, and pulled out his own D-Terminal, opening that portal right up to Vander Tower. "You too, Sixer. You're just as vulnerable as anyone else here. Silence."
He nodded to the wolf. "Go up without me. I have to protect my patient records... and make sure Syre knows what's going on with the rest of you. I can't imagine anyone's going to fall asleep after all of this, but just make sure they stay put."
"... The heck is going on..." Amber, with a slightly scared tone in her voice, found herself clutching right to her mom's arm. "..."
What was this? Hearing that rough voice on the other side of the line, the golem found herself just trying to process the information that she had received. And here it was, trying to glean whatever information it could out of the 'cat knight'. Syre, however, wasn't having any of it: her hand would tense into a fist, the walkie talkie snapping in half, before the golem would drive her foot into the pieces - crushing the voice receiver under her ankle.
"You hear that? Your 'boss' doesn't give two shits about you. So now you have nothing to lose." The feline leveled her focus, right on the DemiDevimon. "Spill it. Everything you know. And why you were trying to go after my little sisters."

”Well I can’t think of a safer location.”Silence let out a small laugh and glanced at sixer; giving her a small pat on one of her shoulders. The big old grin that she had on her face made sixer relax just a bit. If silence was acting like her normal self then there was really nothing to fear. She’d just have to bear with what they were going to do… ”Oh uh… well okay!”Coal blinked a little bit and returned that smile ever so sweetly; glancing up at the taller MeiAvengemon. Wondering what the other would think of the tower. Coal herself had been there quite a few times and had a good hang of the place… but this would be new to her. ”Well I trust the two of you so. Lets go.”Sixer didn’t really think much of it; stepping through the portal without silence; though coal was quick to hop on through. Humming a small tune to herself as she went. One that mikemon might recognize; though oddly enough silence hadn’t sung that tune for a while so it was a wonder where the renamon might have picked it up. ”All right dear. I’ll take care of it don’t worry.”Silence smiled down at amber; rubbing at the top of her oldest daughter’s head. She’d kneel down and give her a big hug. Squeezing the fox against her fur. ”I’ll explain when everything calms down a bit sweetheart; for now lets go. Your uncles will be more than happy to see you I’d think…”That being said? She’d tug her daughter through the portal. On the other side? Well there was already a welcoming committee. There was the fellow Lux and Sepulchure the latter of which was resting in with one paw over the other. Staring quietly at coal and sixer. He wasn’t much of a talker so it wasn’t a big surprise that he had very little to say. Though with silence appearing he’d bright just a bit. Lux on the other hand. Was staring directly at amber; his eyes quietly assessing her posture… ”This is uncle Lux and that’s Uncle Sep! His name is a bit long so everyone just shortens it!””Amber I presume?”His voice was rough and had some sort of secondary echo going on. But he was friendly enough even if his appearance was a touch ‘scary’ for someone meeting him for the first time. Lux on the other hand would give a small shrug, coming over to shake silence’s hand. The wolf grinning ear to ear. ”Think this is the first time amber will be meeting either of you. How yah doin you two?””After a long day of patrols, I would say adequate.””I was stuck with him for three of them; then I had to deal with Ish’s happy go lucky attitude. Everyone’s here cept for Garlond; he had some business in luminas. Hey there Amber; My name’s lux.”The crow like digimon would squat down, offering a hand to the younger renamon; it was hard to see but under that faceplate there was a twinge of a smile. He was friendly enough to people of silence’s family though he didn’t seem to really know how to interact with sixer. The both of them were staring at one another here or there; perhaps a cat and a bird in the same place made it a bit awkward… then again there were two wolves in the room to speak of…
With the walkie talkie being crushed in hand and destroyed underfoot it was probably a bit worrying that from the wreckage a small bit of data whisped out. Laughter going on with it in that rough voice. ”Oh you have spirit. You’d make for a wonderful bodyguard that’s for sure little kitten…”That being said? The demidevimon snorted a bit; the gun was still to his head was it not? And that threat from earlier still stood. Then came that bit; spilling what he knew? Hah! That was laughable! ”Ain’t it obvious? I’m a scout you dingle. I do scouting things. It’s what I do. And why were we goin for your sisters? You know who orion is and you already know what he does; I don’t have to explain diddly squat to you toots. That’d be like trying to explain why a tea pot boils water.”‘D’ looked a little annoyed at his explanation but honestly it didn’t seem like he was privy to too much information. He’d waggle one of his claws at the sistermon. ”Sides; I’ve been watchin this area for years. You really think you’re the only family Orion has a vested interest in? You guys bein busy here just means someone else gets picked up. And you better put a bullet in me because I ain’t gonna talk anymore than this.”D pressed his head up to the gun; staring up at the golem. He seemed resolute but it was likely because he fully expected not to walk away from this entire situation….

"I know you have it handled, hun."
The feline gave one more smile, a nod to his family, before he made his way out of the den. It didn't take long for the rest of the data signals to vanish behind him, leaving only the two left outside in the barren cold. Syre, still in her golem form, merely scoffed at that wisp of data, knowing full well that Orion couldn't hear anything on this side anymore. The DemiDevimon's answer also didn't satisfy.
Was Orion really someone worth covering up that much, even after he spat in the DemiDevimon's face? "Tch. If that's the case, then you can tell me where he's active right now. If not..." Syre pulled, readying the next bullet - only to hear a voice in the background.
"Syre."
A stern voice, a familiar voice. One that Syre hadn't heard in a long time, but one that she'd learned to listen to. She gave a glance over to the doctor, whose expression was cold. "We. Are not. Them."
Syre blinked. She gave a sigh, pulling back, as the doctor stepped right up to the rookie demon - and gave a merciful blow to the back of its head, to try and knock him out on the spot. "You're also not an interrogator. We'll leave it to Terminus to squeeze every bit of information out of this one as they can." Amber didn't like this.
Coal had a nice, upbeat, almost chipper tone through this all, but the tired and distraught yellow fox quickly found herself in a strange territory. It did help, however, that everyone here seemed welcoming and upbeat! Amber gave a slow nod to the wolf, letting go of Silence's arm as Lux addressed her directly.
"H... hi..." Amber gave a nod, reaching out to give that hand a small shake, returning a smile herself. Underneath the surface, though, Amber was still confused and scared about everything that was going on. All she could do for the last several minutes was 'go along for the ride', even with all of her training.
The fox gave a blink. What could she do here?
"Ma, I... I think you or I should give Holly a call. She'll... um, want to know what's going on?"

”Oh you betcha~”
Silence laughed a bit and with the group leaving to vander tower all that was left was the trio. D didn’t really seem to think much of the fact his boss basically ditched him. Didn’t really even care that there was a gun to his head. He seemed to accept the fact he wasn’t going to get out of this one.
Though with the doctor appearing; saying that the demidevimon snorted. He was about to say something but with that blow to the back of head? He’d lose focus and just flop forward. Not like a rookie could stay conscious after a blow like that. He was lucky that he didn’t break apart from that gunshot earlier…
Now they just had a bunch of broken parts and a unconscious demidevimon on their hands. It was probably better than the alternative of having two fox’s missing.
”I know how it feels, I felt the same way when silence first brought me here after helping me. You are safe here little sister.”
Lux gave the top of amber’s head a gentle pat; standing up to address his ‘mother’. In scope of things he referred to silence more like a parent than anything else. Coal had trotted off to give sep a big hug around his neck; making the large demon wolf dog thing seem a bit fidgety and uncomfortable.
”Did you get bigger Sep? Have you been eating right finally?”
”....Mostly. I’ve adjusted my diet to include more than just meat.”
”Good!”
Coal seemed to beam and the only person who had remained actually… fairly silent had been sixer. The latter of which taken to leaning against a nearby wall. She seemed thoughtful and a bit worried for the ones back in sanctuary. Hearing amber speak up, both the cat and the wolf would glance to her.
”You’ve got a point there, let me see if I can get her…”
Silence would fumble around with her terminal, putting it up to her ear once it started ringing. It’d be a little bit before it went to voice mail and the wolf frowned. Trying a second time…
”It is pretty late so she might be sleeping…”

Even with everything that was going on - or, really, perhaps because of it - Amber couldn't help but give a blink at the wide smile on Coal's face, and the way she wrapped her arms around that weird-looking wolf. There was no sense of the black fox's shyness here - how long had she known 'Sep'?
Though, really, perhaps it wasn't that strange. Coal seemed alright around dragons, so maybe she was alright around monster-types as well?
Although the group was safe, Amber felt herself mostly reserved around the rest of the group. She held herself close to Silence, waiting to hear if Holly would pick up the phone, her ears running flat as it went to voicemail. Not once, but twice. "Y... yeah. She's probably asleep, and... well, Holly is strong, right? She'll... she'll be fine." Amber nodded, doing the best she could to reassure herself. Taking a breath, she stood tall, and suddenly felt a yawn caught in her chest. "Speaking of late - hm?"
Amber blinked, as another portal opened up. She tensed herself for a moment, wondering if they were somehow followed, but calmed down as Syre stepped right on through the portal. She was back as a BlackGatomon, having managed to calm herself down from a few moments prior. The cat also had a plastic bag slung over her shoulder, the feline nodding towards Silence.
"There was a rookie-level scout hovering over the building. Dad's called security in Whitewater - the scout's been arrested, and dad's filling out the report. Said he's going to spend the night watching over the house, and he wants you up here watching the 'kids'. He'll give you a text every hour just to let you know what's going on."
With that, Syre gave a nod towards Amber, and handed the yellow fox over her D-Terminal - as well as her drawing pad and sketchbook. The fox took them in hand, as the feline moved over to Coal - giving the black fox her own D-Terminal, as well as a couple of the books that she was reading earlier. After all of that, the feline would step up to Sixer.
"... Your analysis probably saved both of them. I know tonight's been rushed and confusing, but, well, thank you. Hopefully we can track that guy and pin him down, so we don't have to worry about this shit any longer."

Given that she had trained several times a week and had this strange comfort around monstrous types maybe it wasn’t so much a surprise. She was comfortable around dragons and with the way sep responded to her maybe it had taken her a bit to open up to the somewhat quieter wolf. That or maybe with the knights she could open up a bit more! ”She’s very strong. Probably even stronger than me if she puts her mind to it.”Silence said with a firmness in her voice that actually was fairly surprising. When it came down to it and all the pieces were on the table she felt like holly would be okay. She’d rub at her muzzle thoughtfully and turned her head; seeing another portal. One hand rested on her daughter’s shoulder and the other went to the hilt of her sword; ready at a moment to attack if it was a foe… but it wasn’t! Instead it was syre and the wolf was able to relax. ”All right. Looks like I better get some coffee brewing. Want some?”Silence removed her hand from her daughter; smiling warmly and let the older sister handle the two of them for the moment. Coal let out a thankful breath, taking the D-terminal and the books. She’d adjust it so that she could carry all of them and she’d hum a bit. She already knew where she would be staying and with a sigh Sep followed after her. He’d keep an eye on her that much was for certain… ...I’m glad that I could help in any way shape or form. He’s a monster and needs to be stopped but… I don’t think that it’ll be that easy. Orion is a very… tricky customer.Sixers sighed a bit and just shook her head; she’d look down to her hands. Both of which were shivering a little bit. She wasn’t nervous or the like but something was obviously wrong; maybe she was affected by this a bit more than she thought… When we get the chance we should do more digging for now it’s… better to keep wa-.. Hmm?Sixer’s eyes flicked to where another portal opened up; in comparison to the other portals this one had a golden ring on the edges of it and some symbols hovering just outside of reach. Stepping through it was a regal looking gryphon. Easily a head and shoulders taller than silence. His eyes swept the room and then he’d motion to someone to follow through with him. Stepping through after him was holly; she didn’t look too bothered by being in vander tower. After all she was a part of the knights just like silence and syre but… It was what she was dragging behind her that would likely be cause for alarm. A deviDramon; a smaller variant that was missing either of it’s wings. The wounds of which looked rather fresh and it certainly wasn’t doing very well. The gryphon let out a small snort and took a seat, the portal collapsing behind him while holly dragged the dragon along, making her way off to the medical area… ”Never did I think that one of my students would be the target of assassins. Or kidnappers. Yet here I am.””Well there would have been two of them if you didn’t kill the other one!””It’s not my fault that they are so weak. They should have expected you to have company during one of your nightly cram sessions. I'll admit it's unfortunate but at least one of them are alive for us to ween information out of him.”The gryphon snorted a bit and his eyes swept along again. Finding a few familiar faces before resting on syre’s. She’d know him without a doubt given that she was even in one of his classes… ”Hmm… I see that you are here as well Syre. I take it the black fox and this one next to silence are your younger sisters holly won’t shut up about? Coal being the one walking off with the wolf and... You must be Amber.”

Right, maybe blindly opening portals into the Knights' base wasn't the best idea - but at the very least, Silence held herself back, and the tensity of the situation turned to relief. Syre's ear flicked a bit at Silence's question.
"Yes please, I definitely need one about now... ugh." The feline, now in a safe place, finally felt her fatigue creep back up on her, the weight of the day falling right over her eyelids. The feline would nod as Coal and 'Sep' stepped off. As for Sixer's comment? "If anything, today we learned that Orion is... well, a bit sloppy. Or maybe he just didn't think that anyone would put two-and-two together and find that lead."
As Sixer felt those hands shake? Syre would move her own up, and rest her paws right against Sixer's hands, a warm smile on her face as she helped Sixer steady herself. Sixer, as she was, probably wasn't used to what she was feeling. Relief? Fear? Anger? A mix of everything was going through all of them right now, and this was definitely understandable -
Oh heck, another portal? And this one came through with a bloodied Devidramon and a giant, monstrous griffon! Amber tensed up, but Syre just found herself pinching her sinus, seeing Holly drag the body right on by. She gave a nod to Holly - and a moment later, would pull out her D-Terminal, sending dad a text that 'Holly was with us'.
"If I had to guess, they were trying to catch Holly unaware. But seriously, good luck with guessing any of Holly's sleeping patterns." Syre shook her head, ear flicking at Gaius' comment. Amber, hearing herself addressed, gave a nod - and carefully stepped forward to the bird, now that she knew she wasn't a threat.
"Yes, um... I've heard of you, too, now that I think of it. You're a light-type like me, right?" The yellow fox held up a palm, light gently dancing off of her palm. "Holly mentioned about me learning some things directly from you or something. Sorry, I'm a bit scatterbrained right now, just... dragged along with all of 'this'."
"I know," Syre nodded, returning her attention to Gaius. "Are you staying long?"

”Well I’ll get a pot going, just need to get to the kitchen first hah…”
Silence let out a small laugh and shook her head; she could use some herself since it was definitely going to be a long night. The wolf adjusted a bit and would pull out her terminal to shoot garlond a message; though it seemed like the butler already knew about it given the fact he sent an image of a ready to go pot of coffee. Seriously how did he manage that sort of nonsense? With sixer though…
”I think less sloppy and more that he didn’t think folks would put two and two together. That being said he also worked for luminas for a long time; so he’s not used to people being brazen about this. I think what we have here is some connections that we can use for a short time… Either that or he wanted us to find this information. But I find that difficult to believe.”
Sixer adjusted herself and watched gaius, holly and that Devidramon; it was weird to see so many different natures in one place. Especially since she got the ‘orderly’ vibe from the tower thus far. She’d rub at her face with a hand flicking her ears.
”Yeah she definitely has a strange sleeping schedule… but then again I don’t think anyone in this family could be described as ‘normal’... not that that’s a bad thing.”
Sixer chuckled a bit and gaius simply sat there; mild interest playing off of his features as amber approached him. At her question he’d bob his head in a nod; holding out his hand in much the same way that amber did. Though compared to her little light show a soft jewel of light condensed from literal nothingness. The soft hum likely in beat with his own core.
”That I am Amber. Although it seems in comparison our abilities are still… like all in the world. Vastly different from one another. It does bring a smile to my face seeing another generation giving birth to a user of light though.”
His beak twisted slightly and he seemed somewhat amused; hearing that holly had suggested to her little sister that she should learn things from him? He’d cast a glance at silence and then to holly as she was starting that climb of the many stairs up to where medical was.
”She had mentioned you and your sister quite regularly during my classes. My other students often distracted by all the pictures she shared. It’s all right; this sort of situation would have anyone guessing...”
Gaius didn’t seem to be paying his own little crystal much mind, but it was still there floating for a little bit longer before slowly fading out. His attention was gained by syre and he’d tilt his head ever so slightly.
”Two students of mine are caught up in this mess it seems; It’d behoove me to stay around and make sure they are safe as well as telling the others to stay safe. Classes will be canceled for a little bit so I’ll be here up until I’m satisfied. So in short: I’ll be staying until I’m no longer needed.”

Right, at this point, it was best to assume that their opponent was both competent and scary. Any sort of perceived weakness could be a trap in its own right. To that, the feline rested a nail on her lip, thinking it through.
"I highly doubt he meant for us to find what he did. He likely wanted to keep operating at maximum capacity... but when this story blows up?" The feline let out a 'tsk'. "Dad was right, Orion's just gonna hole up at this rate. But I guess its not something we really could have avoided."
The feline sighed. Really, all she could do was keep looking forward. Hearing Sixer's next comment, the BlackGatomon gave a smile. "Its a family you're part of now too, Sixer. Do you need anything?"
Syre just wanted to give that reminder - and a nod to her new sister, that she didn't need to go through all of this alone.
Amber, meanwhile, found herself enamored as Gaius showed off his abilities. Seeing that crystal form in his hands, Amber looked on with interest - and perhaps even a bit of wonder, nodding as Gaius gave his compliment.
"... Sheesh..." She even gave an embarassed flush, hearing how much she was discussed in Holly's classes. As Syre came into the conversation, Amber listened, Syre giving a nod - and a sigh.
"Unfortunately, its probably for the best. But I know not all of the students there were native to Luminas... do you know how they're going to be handled?"
Syre mulled it over, and shook her head.
"Such a troublesome foe..."

”I suppose that he’d hole up, or go somewhere where it’s very hard to find him. No one has any idea the scope of his over all operation. All we know is that he had a single lab; now we know he has a second. We don’t even know what sort of finances or reach he has either. It’s a enigma to me but that’s also because I know very little about some things in general...”
Sixer sighed along with syre and flicked her ears; hearing that she was a part of the family now too made the meicrackmon pause and after a few moments she felt her cheeks turn a bit red. It was easy to see that the tips of her ears shared that same hue and she’d cough a bit.
”I ah… well it’s been a bit since we’ve last eaten so maybe some dinner or the like would be nice uhm…”
Sixer rubbed at her face with one of her hands; she wasn’t expecting that to be honest but at the same time with this family they were so good and so friendly to those that they cared for. Even strangers likely would see their warmth as long as they weren’t hostile to one another.
”Holly is very energetic about her siblings, I’m more surprised that she doesn’t talk about her oldest one more often. Then again... She did have a lot of pictures of all of you.”
Gaius shifted his gaze to syre and slowly nodded his head.
”Each of them was given a personal dorm for the duration of this effect; for those that do not wish it they will instead be allowed to go home and they will not be charged for the duration of this hold so to speak.”
Gaius seemed somewhat bemused at the idea of the whole picture nonsense but with orion being brought up his tone shifted quite comfortably.
”The last enemy that was like this was lain low by one of your family members. With such a vested interest in him and those that he employs I would not be surprised if one of you were to be responsible for his capture or eventual death. But I suggest to you syre to take your time; unwind a little bit as much as you can. Tomorrow is still there and so will all your siblings. I doubt orion has the capacity at the moment to assault such a venue now that everyone is aware of his intentions.”
Gaius gazed down to amber and he’d adjust himself; his wings folding so that they weren’t quite so… over exposed.
”For now, go eat and take care of yourself. I will watch amber and Sixer.”
