[RL with Zechs, Tyki and Rufus]

[clockmaster]

Hakuba shivered, the weather wasn't any better now than when he left Gaia a few days ago. He nearly killed himself driving the iced road, he still needs more driving lessons. The detective couldn't use the flying broom, he gave it to that demon woman, Trish, anticipating that Elphaba would not mind. He imagined that the witch would symphatize with another woman who was being hunted like her, and, after all, the broom will fly back to it's original owner if something goes wrong. If not, he would just have to deal with another psychopathic friend.

The boy realy hoped that all was going well on the Ark...Tyki was really alive, and he remembered Zechs and the community. Such a relief. Hakuba was still worried and a bit scared, but damn him if he was going to left that kind of emotions to take control. Hakuba was in front of Zechs's door now, he had the keys of the apartmen, but he hesitated. Zechs was less than joyful when he prevented him to go to his lover's side for the second time. Knowing that trying to trying to delay the inevitable was useless, he opened the door carefully.

"Zechs?"

Momentarily, Zechs forgot Hakuba was in the next room, and held Tyki as closely as he could without harming a man who was so clearly injured. His lips against Tyki's hair, he tried to use the man's presence to calm all of the emotion within him. Though at the moment, he was actively yearning for the ZERO. "You have nothing to apologize for."

Some of that yearning could be heard in his voice when Zechs answered Tyki's question. "If I had somehow seen the battle before hand. Perhaps with ... I might have been able to save you all of that danger, and pain. I could have spared you all of this."

Stubbornly, he asserted, "I couldn't merely wait for your return, my love. Not without knowing how you were, or ... It was the only tool I had available to my person. It was the only way I could have anything but defenseless to help you."

Somehow it seemed important to convince Tyki of this.
