Violet set out with leo at her side.

Gabriel slept with Sypher and Ray(I think that was maybe what I called them. *double checks*)

(I'm taking the liberty of making a time skip of sorts)

Seth honestly had no idea what time it was when he made it back the bureau. Thankfully everyone was asleep. In truth he wished he didn't have to. he would have happily stayed in that house with Yahatammal all night. Now..he had no idea when they would get to be so close again. And what's more Alhena knew. There was no chance she'd let them go on recon together again.
He sighed and fell into a pile of pillows. But the time he got to sleep there was only 2 things left on his mind, Yahatammal and when they could be together again.

(or something like that. I couldn't have been stuffed to look for names and spelling and junk)

Yatahammal hugged himself feeling a bit unsure. What happened if Seth was to die or even himself? One would be left alone, to mourn. That would just mean that he had to protect Seth with his life.

Alhena was in the corner of the bureau hugging her knees to her chest. She was still in shock. Claradon purred at her side trying to comfort her.

"Alhena is something wrong?" Shadir asked as he sat up. She shook her head causing him to stand and come over to her to sit. "What's the problem?"

"Have you ever seen something that you want nothing more than to unsee?" Alhena asked.

"Of course, we all do. Why do you ask?" Shadir asked her wrapping an arm around her and hugging her close in a warm hug.

"It's just that I saw something today that I want nothing more than to get from my mind yet no matter how hard I try I can't. How do I get these thoughts from my mind?" Alhena started to cry a bit, the tears falling on Shadir's cloak.

"You put new memories in your mind to replace it." Shadir smiled at her making her smile as well. "Your smile it's so pretty, why don't you smile anymore?"

"I guess it's just the fact that I don't really have much to smile about anymore." Alhena said putting a piece of hair behind her ear. Shadir lifted her head up to look at him before kissing her on the lips.

( *stared at reply box for 15 minutes*....I don't know what to post....)
(time skip?)

(Sure to when? Right before they get to the Templar nest?)

(dunno, just until the next cool thing happens. or like the next morning?)

(Next morning.)

Violet had rode through the night and was both physically and mentally exhausted by the time she reached her destination. But she had to tell Altair, then she could sleep.

Gabriel slept the sound sleep of the reasonably innocent.

Seth was awake, sitting one the roof, watching the sun rise. Part of him was tempted to wake yatahammal but he decided against it. He deserved his rest.

The horse shook some startling him. Rasul bolted upright having fallen asleep while riding. He stretched some and yawned. "We should hurry, Altair is to meet with an old friend today, he may be busy later in the day. He won't be able to speak to us then."

Shadir woke with Alhean in his arms curled up against his chest. He smiled lightly and moved a strand of hair from her eyes. He couldn't get up without her noticing so he simply sat there.

Yatahammal tossed in his sleep, whimpering.

"He has to see us. He just has to and I don't care if i have to interrupt his meeting. He'll only demote me, again. No mater what he has to hear about this." She said, hurrying though the street after leaving her tired horse with the stable hand, something she didn't usually do.

Seth sighed and went to find Yatahammal. He soon found him and he didn't look happy. He seemed to be having a nightmare, or dawnmare. Either way it was a sharp contrast to Seth's night and he couldn't help but wonder what the other man was dreaming about. He lay beside him, stroking his hair and holding him close. he knew you shouldn't wake someone from a nightmare and this was all he could think to do.

Rasul ran after her having not even let his horse slow to a stop yet. He followed as they ran all the way to the castle and inside to Altair's study. The man was standing at the colorful window looking out something you didn't see him doing much. He turned when the pair entered.
"Violet? Rasul? What brings you here? I thought you were on a mission in Damascus?" Altair asked turning towards them.

The man quivered some yet calmed. Yatahammal slowly returned to a peaceful sleep.

Alhena slowly opened her eyes. "Shadir?" She whispered looking up at him, a bit embarrassed to be showing such emotions.
"Good morning sleepy head." He smiled again moving a strand of hair from her eye. "How was your rest?"
"Better." She growled standing. "Listen here, this can't get in the way of our mission! For all you should care none of this lovey stuff ever happened alright? It was a one night thing."
"As you wish." Shadir said standing and pushing past her. He put the hood of his cloak up as he pushed past her climbing from the bureau.
