After watching Ed walk off, Arion simply shrugged and said, "Ah, well. That's one less to worry about then."
Eh, I hope Ed isn't heading into any kind of danger. I just met him, I know, but I wouldn't want anything horrible to happen to him. That Seeker guy might still be hiding somehwere around the ship. Nimbus thought, his eyes trailing from Ed then back to Reios.
After Reios spoke, Mizu raised her eyebrows. She glanced at Arion, then said, "It would unfortunate if we let him go with valuable information. Does he...know anything?"
"If you are questioning whether or not we will regret letting him go freely," Arion began. "then you need not worry. We do not need to keep the boy. Either of them, in fact." As he said this, he gestured toward Nemo with his hand.
Mizu turned to him, although not quite reassured by Arion's words. "Well? What about you? Do you want to go too?"
Nemo, who had been struggling to decide his own fate for a while now, looked up at Mizu when she spoke to him. He had to admit, he was hardly sure what he had wanted at all. Why would he leave? He didn't really have anywhere to go. He knew that he wanted to keep tabs on Wrath, but the Tsunami's company would most likely prevent him from doing an efficient job at it. Maybe he should join avoid the enemy altogether for the time being...
"If...If Reios would not mind, I would like to accompany him," Nemo declared, closing his eyes.
His decision, though quite random, was based purely off of his logical reasoning. If he was to wander off into the world, with no destination, he should at least have the aid of this young man who rescued him. That way, if the opportunity did arise for Nemo to strike upon Wrath forces, he would have Reios to support him.
I see then. I was actually expecting...well, hoping that he would stay here. I don't know why. Mizu thought, then she gave Nemo a nod. "Alright then. Arion, go get their belongings. We'll drop them off down in Blume. Neither of them seem to have wings, so we can't just release them way up here."
"We haven't quite taken off from the port yet, Lady Mizu," Arion pointed out quite coldly. "I will go get the 'belongings' at once."
Arion left, leaving Mizu, Nimbus, Reios, and Nemo in a gentle silence. Nimbus had been observing Mizu, as she spoke and handled the situation almost like a woman. He sighed, reassuring himself that he made the right decision by agreeing to work with Tsunami. He wanted to hold on to the Sacred Skyrune at all costs. If it required him to ally himself with the enemy, that was what he would do. Besides, he looked forward to getting to know the blue-haired beauty standing before him.
Arion returned quite quickly, handing to Nemo and Reios their weapons and whatever other items had been taken from them.
"Well then, so long to you young gentlemen. It was nice to have met you," Arion said politely, moving to open the main door. It revealed the cold, starry nightime sky, decorated with the nightlights of the Blume city port.
Mizu tossed a small sack of Caps to Nemo as he passed her. "Spend it wisely. There's not much in there. 'Nobody'", she said, calling him by the meaning of his name. She gave him a weak smile.
"Thank you, miss," Nemo said, finding himself unable to smile back. He stood by the door, waiting for Reios.
