[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?"

Quickly, Zechs made his way to Tyki's side, not so much because he thought his lover wanted him there, but more for the fact he didn't think the Noah could manage walking very well. He didn't argue with the man about the clothes. In fact, he seemed to be rather silent, all things considered. When Rufus distractedly said something about a helicopter waiting for them on the roof, he merely nodded, preoccupied.

It was obvious what he was preoccupied with, of course. As relatively calm as he was now, his face was rather shadowed and lined as he thought about his situation. Inside, he was still angry and frustrated - but was also feeling rather guilty now as well. He felt extremely vulnerable and uncertain about both his job position and his relationship with Tyki. And, on top of all that ... part of him felt extremely anxious merely not having the ZERO at all. Which only made saner parts of him worry about his own mental health.

In silence, shouldering most of Tyki's weight, he led them out of the apartment and down the hall, towards the elevator. Thank god the power had returned, at least.
