She looked down below to the ground of the courtyard. She didn't need anyone to help her. She didn't need anyone's pity. She just didn't know what to do anymore. She sighed. "Why do you even bother yourself with me?" She asked him harshly, her voice turning back into stone cold instead of shaken. Johanna giggled. "I'm just covering for Mikasa until she feels better. You know I'm usually running around with food orders, Trevor." She gave him a small smile.
Bothering her? She laughed. She wasn't bothered by someone as unimportant as Calxiyn. "I'm fine." Mikasa wasn't sure how else to be convincing. "I'm always irritated when dealing with people...." Her voice trailed off. She was messing this whole thing up. She closed her eyes, and for some reason could feel tears sting them. "I'm fine." She said again, her voice quivering.
Mikasa listened intently. "What's important is that everyone's alright." Mikasa spoke carefully. "You can't change what Dale's done now. There's no time to regret, not for us, not for him. If you begin to regret, you'll dull your future decisions and let others make your choices for you. All that's left for you then is to die. Nobody can foretell the outcome. Each decision you make holds meaning only by affecting your next decision..." She took a deep breath. "That information is of no use for me, Dale should hear it, I suppose."
Mikasa nodded. Boreal was a prisoner, after all, he wasn't entitled to important information. "Is everything alright? How did the talk with Evanora go?" She asked. Johanna gave him a small smile. "I'd better go back to tend to the bar." She told Dale. "If you don't want to go back in the main hall you don't have to, I'll talk to you later, alright?" She brushed her hair from her face, before going back to the Guild hall. "Alright guys we're reopened for business, drink up!" Johanna announced, getting back behind the bar.
Mikasa sighed. She didn't have it in her to kick Boreal for that one. "I won't." She then heard Caliborn's voice. "Yes?" She asked him, sitting on the windowsill Johanna let go of him enough to look at his face. "You don't need to make it up to me." She rested her head on his chest. "Just be more careful, ok?"
"Thank you, Caliborn." Mikasa gave him a small smile. He had come to get her personally. She scorned him when he mentioned Calxiyn "I don't know where she is. Sorry." Mikasa muttered disgruntled. "I'll let the magic council know." She said nothing else, sitting down in her chair. Mikasa, still angered that Caliborn asked her about Cal, grabbed Boreal by the neck, and used her maneuver gear to get back to the tower. She used her body to break the window in. She threw Boreal down, and she muttered to herself, putting a new window pain on the one she had just broken. She really didn't give a ****, since she had them lined up by the window. She must have needed replacements. Johanna put her arms around him. "Please don't scare me like that. You could have died... I don't know what I would have done if you had died Dale..." She held him tighter. You could hear the tears in her voice. "I was so scared... I was so scared when I heard what happened on Galuna! I wouldn't have even gotten to say goodbye to you!"
"OW!" Calxiyn fell to the floor. When Dale dropped the Mask, it had chipped. "My heart... oh no..." She started to turn a ghostly colour. "Dale." Johanna called after him. "Hey." She grabbed the shelve of his shirt. Evanora listened intently. "Calxiyn wouldn't let herself get controlled again, not by anyone. I spoke with her myself, about that mask. I don't doubt she's done this, but I think there's more to it." She looked at Boreal. "I'm not a fool Boreal. You might be able to fool Calxiyn but you will not do the same to me. You mind control one of our Guild Members, try to destroy them all, and believe I will take some kind of pity on you? No. I refuse." She stood up. "Having both Ezekiel and Boreal in the Outlands could be dangerous. Instead..." Evanora shot chains from her fingers, and used them to bind Boreal like she had Ezekiel. "Mikasa will take him to the dungeon. Find her, that's an order." She then spoke to Caliborn in a hushed tone. "Caliborn, please go give Calxiyn that Mask. You must think me a fool for it, but you don't understand. Without it she will parish."
Evanora took a deep breath. "If you believe that what you did in your heart is right, then why do you react this way? You need to defend your actions, why? Why if you think they were the right ones. Are you not sure of yourself Dale? Their lives wouldn't need saving if you hadn't put them in danger in the first place. It could have gone much differently, you know that as well as I do. You're selfish, and you're only thinking about yourself. Think about the members of this Guild. Do you even care about your own life, Dale? Do you care about the lives of your Guild mates. You went to Galuna, and even after you knew what Boreal was planning, you didn't come back for back up. You thought you could handle it all yourself, and you put everyone in even more danger. What's the point of being in a Guild if the only one you think about is you. You think about how hard you worked, how much you suffered, but did you not stop to think about the rest of our family here." She spoke strongly. "Break a rule you may, but that isn't why I discount you. I do that because you are selfish, you have a horrible temper, and because you do not think about how your actions could impact the world around you." "I won't talk about this anymore. Caliborn, what of Calxiyn, and Boreal?"
Zéphryine sighed. This wasn't going to work. There was the possibility of arrest for impersonating a Guild Member, and letting that happen would be... no. The last plan was, well, crying. "I can't believe you reject my advances, what's a poor, poor kid to do?" Taking a handkerchief from the dress, and walking behind the bar, Zéphryine started to pull on it, doing a very convincing job of crying. Suddenly, Zéphryine twisted it into what looked like a small tornado, though it was only a trick and not real magic. The handkerchief fell onto the floor, and Zéphryine escaped using the cellar behind the bar, and ran.
"It must be horrible being a big strong S-Class like you, I bet The Guild Master gets you to do alllllll the work. It must be a lot of work, you must be so stressed." Zéphryine continued. "Missions all the time must give a man a zest, for a little rest and recreation. You need a chance to hunt for the spiciest-" Zéphryine sung, winking. "In the way of rest and recreation." Letting go of his shoulder, she wiggled her fingers in the air, laughing softly. "Dale..." Johanna whispered. The Guild hall was nearly silent near Evanora's throne. Everyone was listening. "Dale, I'm very disappointed in you." She spoke. "I hope you've learned your lesson well. I thought you were a good candidate for the S-Class trials. I was wrong, it seems. You should have swallowed your pride and asked for help with your money trouble. You know anyone here would have helped you." She looked toward Johanna. " You don't have to resort to breaking the rules in order to get pay. From now on you'll have to go on your jobs with an S-Class member, until I'm sure that I can trust you not to put the Guild's name, the members, and yourself in grave danger."
Zéphryine could play this a few ways. Disappering with some of her powder was a good idea, but since it wasn't sure to work on Edric it was passed on. Playing dumb wouldn't work either, wearing no symbol of the Guild meant that it would obviously be seen through. Thinking about a plan and observing Edric, it was noticed that he might like to drink. "Oh Edric, let a load off..." Zéphryine smiled at him slyly, though pretending to have a look of affection "You must be oh so tired from all these S-Class jobs, why not have a drink?" Zéphyrine said, massaging his shoulders. This was sure to work, being a master of this craft, he couldn't resist her. "No, no of course I don't hate you. You're one of us now, right?" Calxiyn smiled happily. Evanora was obviously stressed out, but now that all of the members were back she could relax a little. Without Cassandra around she had little insight on what happened at Galuna Island. "Caliborn, what do you have to report?" She asked him, not questioning Boreal, nor Dale just yet.
"I need to get that back, you don't understand. It's... it's a part of me. If I'm away from it for too long I'll..." Calxiyn didn't want to think about what would happen. She turned to Thea, who was making no sense to her. "OH! Thea I didn't see you there, I'm sorry." She frowned. "Fairies?" She asked. "There's such thing, I thought fairies were only a myth... but if they're real, and magical, then I'm sure they're alright." She smiled to the girl. "I forgot, we're roommates now, sorry for bothering you, Thea."
"But we could have beaten Deliora! We could have done that Ra. I know we could have. That's all..." Calxiyn was trying to hold back tears now. "I didn't want the same thing that happened to Ezekiel happen to Boreal too... you say I didn't know Boreal but I saw Ezekiel in him, and I saw myself in both of them! How could I turn away myself, who I thought was in need. How could I watch them suffering, I couldn't." She started to fell faint. She felt in the sleeves and pockets of her dress. "My Mask... it's gone." She was breathing heavily now, and starting to shake. "Ra, where is it, what happened to it?" She felt to her heart. "Do you know?"
She sighed. "I thought... I thought I was going to be in control. I thought I could use the power I have, myself instead. I wasn't going to let Boreal control me!" Calxiyn cried. "I just wanted to be strong, like all of you! I wanted to be able to take the darkness out of the world. I wanted to destroy the thing that hurt Boreal. Isn't that what we do as Wizards? Aren't we supposed to help people? I thought... I thought I was doing a good thing. I thought we could do it together! I'm sorry Ra!"
Her face went even redder when Beucette had stuck her in her room with Ra. "I didn't have anything to do with this I swear!" Calxiyn exclaimed, but then she saw the look on Ra's face. "Ra..." She knelt down beside him, since Ra was sitting on one of the girl's beds. "I-I'm sorry."
"Someone help me." She mumbled.
Calxiyn felt her eyes go wide. Oh. My. God. "I'm not looking for anyone Beucette honestly!!" She yelled. She was so embarrassed. "Please stop." She whispered meekly. How many members of the Guild were looking over here...
Calxiyn was completely confused by Beucette sniffing her. "Oh ya you're my roommate... aren't you." She mumbled. Her face flushed. "You got the wrong idea! I didn't do anything with anyone I swear!" She held her hands up to her cheeks. Zéphryine sat by the bar, taking out the tambourine. "That job payed well, I should enough for at least a week of food at the court..." Zéphryine muttered, counting the gold.

"Let me see that thing." Zéphryine took a closer look at the book, before tapping her tambourine. In front of their eyes, it burst into flames. "There's the book taken care of, let's go home." Zéphryine muttered, though there wasn't really have a home to go back to. Being Guild Member meant home, but a guild member she was not. The Guild was no home of hers. ~ Mission End ~
