Myst grabbed Caprima's hand, though he was too far into his thoughts to groan at the pun. Guardian however, did groan before taking the other shoulder, as the second hand was taken by Xefr.
Arriving, Guardian snorted, "Really? Pitch-black, what a truly gorgeous look." The Warrior Drake's eyes then flashed, conjuring magical balls of light to illuminate the room. As the darkness faded away, Xefr looked around to see if anything was different, and the two Shards looked upon the room for the first time.

Tec was stunned for a moment when she ran, but he was determined not to let her get away. He used his powers as a Shard to turn incorporeal, and fly off right after her without wind resistance to slow him down. On the ground, the Combat Drakes and Mountain Guard prepared to pursue, but then the Commander suddenly shouted, "Let them go! This will be resolved in time... Now, will someone go find that newly Black Dragon? We need to get to work restoring his mind if that gecko thing comes to be." With that, the young Drake Commander left, leaving behind some confused soldiers who were entirely unsure of their commander's choice in letting the two fly off.
In the air, Tec was flying as fast as he could, which was quite fast. When he sighted Re'Ni, his eyes flashed and he teleported in front of her. He then pressed up close to her, using his paws to grab her and force her to meet his pleadings eyes with her own as she started to yell, "Don't you dare leave me! You're not a monster Re'Ni, and running away doesn't fix anything! I learned that myself the hard way, and I refuse to let anybody else go through that. We all have problems, and we all eventually cause pain to others. Sometimes just a little, sometimes a lot, but running doesn't stop that, it just makes it worse. You can be helped, and I want to help you! Because I love you, and... and it's the only thing I can do..." His voice lessened in volume, his eyes becoming more depressed, "It's always like this. They always run away, everyone I love, because they think they hurt me. Xorkai, many of friends, and now you Re'Ni... Hell, even Coll refuses to be in my sight after he hurt me when he wasn't himself, I can't even talk to him because he keeps fleeing from me. So maybe I'm the problem, and I'm wondering if I should remove that problem... For good." His eyes drifted over to his claws, his nice, sharp claws.
