A gift from a friend [Emissary/Invite]

The demon boy was once more spending his time on the lookout, something he found himself doing very often lately, almost in a scheduled routine, he was just walking around, taking in the sights of the place. Happy that it was still around and very much stable. That was something that could have easily been taken away from all of them in a moments notice but they all worked towards to keep safe. However, Bernael would snap out of his wandering and almost guard like movements as he would look into the sky and see something... something he was all too familiar with by that point in terms of design as it was coming to the surface of the lookout. How did it get the coordinates there? Perhaps of course Nasu could have sent them, but he didn't feel any power signature as it came down onto the lookout and would slowly start to open up.

However, the symbol imbued on the pod was something he had never seen before, it was quite odd and the demonic boy didn't know what to do with the knowledge. But the least he did know was that it was a pod he wouldn't just take lightly and shrug off, especially where he was for the time being. It felt a little suspicious as well, it could have landed anyone on earth but it set itself down on the lookout? It was pretty suspicious but he just couldn't figure out what it was by the insignia. Though Bernael wouldn't have to wait too much longer as the pod door would start to open and the chill would come out of it. What the hell was the thing, some sort of refrigerator pod, did someone order space groceries?! No that sounded sort of dumb but the lack of power coming from the pod was very confusing to the boy so he would slowly start to move more towards it.

Bernael would just go wide eyes as a girl did come forth from the pod however, but she didn't have any power? Was she just suppressing it that well, it was quite surprising to be honest, all things considered. So the demon boy would stay on guard but not physically shot it, not just yet. He would stare at the case she was holding as well, curious of what was inside and why they were carrying it out from the pod as well, also considering that she looked like she was just frozen for the flight but showed no signs of caring. It was a bit creepy but the demonic human would keep up normal appearances and smirk gently before making his way over enough to in talking distance. "Hello there, what brings you to this place... ma'am?" he would gently ask, slowly casting his eyes down to her case and then back up to her. Although she had a creepy blank stare, her eyes were quite alluring as well, he felt it appropriate to at least make nice chat with someone as he would wait for answer. "You have very pretty eyes... but uh, I suppose that's not really the point... who are you anyways?" he would inquire just a bit more before being quiet.

It was another fairly quiet day on the Lookout. It was to such an extent that it was... Easy to forget what had happened not so long ago. How it was nearly destroyed, two people losing their lives in such a catastrophic battle. On that very same day, Atsuko lost control of herself. There wasn't a 'nearly' about it. She was absolutely blinded by her own rage and fed off of the feelings and power that it gave her. Perhaps if she were just a little more... 'Awake' at that point in time, she could have saved Jarvis. Maybe Komatsu wouldn't have died then, either.

But that wasn't what happened, and besides... Ayami even mentioned that it was time to move on from that. The Knight couldn't hold regrets forever, and Atsuko could perfectly understand the point that she was making. But even then, it was a little difficult to just forget everything that took place. But on days like these, it was hard to just sit around and mope. Things were slowly, but surely getting better. However, something roused the Knight from her studies. A telepathic message from her student. The Water Elemi said something about a ship that was heading straight for the Lookout...

The Albino Saiyan's blood ran cold. There were three possibilities to that... Komatsu, who knew where this place located. It would be unexpected for him to return so fast, but she couldn't entirely rule it out. But the other two possibilities... There was Nasu, who may still have a personal vendetta to settle with the Albino Saiyan, and her friends. The final possibility was the one that she feared the most, however. Athren had returned. His power was excessively huge, but she had Martial Arts now... Maybe it would be a different battle if he did come back.

The Saiyan couldn't just sit in the throne room forever. Atsuko proceeded to stand up and make her way outside of the Palace. "I can't sense anything... Can either of you?", she directed towards Bernael and Ayami. However even though she couldn't sense a power level... She was able to see the Space Pod that was in fact heading right for the Lookout. Just when anyone could have expected a crash landing, the Pod began to slow it's descent and land safely... Oddly, there was a chill coming off of it, despite the atmospheric entry it had gone through.

The door began to open with a hiss, and cool air began to seep out into the surroundings. What came out of the Pod next was a... Small girl? She looked very young, light purple hair. Practically harmless, at that. The newcomer did move with surprising grace, however. The half demon was the first to speak up and greet this new person, as well as asking her what brought her to this place... Also making a brief comment about the new girl's eyes. Though from this distance, the Albino Saiyan wasn't able to comment on them accurately.

Despite all of this, the Saiyan calmly walks forward to announce her presence a little more, before then speaking. "Do you perhaps have business with me? I am the current Guardian of Earth, and this is the Lookout... Our home.", the Albino Saiyan stated. She was a little wary of this person, it wasn't every day that someone landed on the Lookout, after all. What's more, it was a very purposeful flight and landing. That meant there were two options on where she could possibly be from. The Saiyan Alliance, or the Saiyan Empire. But her physical description didn't match either of them.

It was perplexing to the Albino Saiyan, but at least it didn't seem like the newcomer was a threat. The golden sword at her side begins to glow, and then form a being next to her... A doppelganger in red, most everyone had met her by this point. "Ooh, a new person! I'm Excalibur! It's very nice to meet you!", the Sacred Sword would waste little time in introducing herself, seemingly not even noticing the somewhat tense atmosphere that had formed. Or maybe she was just trying to help everyone relax a little. Atsuko lets out a small breath, calming herself down a little.

She couldn't help being worked up at first, but this was very clearly not Athren or Nasu. Potentially working for them, but that seemed just as unlikely. "I'm sorry if I came off as a little hostile... I ended up assuming the worst.", the Knight would briefly explain. The only other thing that the Knight had to be a little worried about is the fact that Bernael and Ayami were both present. If this new person turned out to be a threat, and a very great one at that... She would need to somehow convince them to get away.

The Knight wasn't going to take a chance on anyone else dying. "You're so tense even taking into account your apology... I think you can relax. If she was here to hurt any of us, don't you think she would be better equipped for it?", the woman in red stated to her wielder. It was a pretty fair point, at least for the moment Atsuko had to concede and nod. "You're right, Excalibur.", the Knight would respond. With all of that out of the way... The two then turn their attention to the mysterious Android.

Neither of them had any guesses as to who the Android actually was, or what race they might even be. But considering the strong chill of their spacecraft... Certainly not Human, that much could be deduced. Anyone else would have likely died on the trip here. Or at least, that was the assumption that the Knight was working off of. How accurate it was would remain to be seen for the moment. Though either way she wasn't going to have to wait very long for her answers. Atsuko and Excalibur were both eager to hear what the Android had to say.

Memories would be going through the mind of the demon boy as the person responded. But those memories were just lost times brought back due to a simple word, that would make Bernael shake his head just thinking of them. "Red huh? Been a long time since anybodies called me that. My name is Bernael, if you would prefer." he would take note on the way she talked but, didn't really want to bring it up because it could be seen as rude. "However you have not disturbed me, its nice to know that something is happening around here. Especially since you seem pretty relaxed and non-hostile." the boy went on to say before smirking. It was then that Ayami showed up, which was a pretty nice surprise. It wasn't like this person was here just for him or anything like that, so he needed to wait it out and see as everyone sort of came over to see this landing as well. It was a pretty nice change up in his day, so even if it ended up being a boring exchange, at least it brought him away from his wandering.

Though even then, it seemed the new person was catching a way of complimenting people, as she said Ayami had pretty eyes. Honestly it was sort of funny, that happened with everybody Bernael knew of so at this rate it was just a matter of when people said it. But he smirked over at her nonetheless. "Your eyes strike again~" was all he would say to her before looking back towards the new person. It didn't seem like Ayami was saying much at all so he didn't want to bug her too much at all. Though the next person to arrive was Atsuko, which then he felt like the team was pretty much complete for people to come out and look. Sure there were others but he couldn't count on them coming around or viewing this. As she walked up, Bernael would look back at her and give a firm nod, agreeing with the statement that Atsuko asked to them before falling completely out of saying or making motions, to better listen to their conversation but when he was referenced he felt that he may as well speak up. "Business with me as well? I am a bit surprised at that. I am nothing more than an ally of the Guardian. I will allow our friend to introduce herself... should she desire to. But what is your name anyways? I've yet to hear it unless I am just blind to introduction" he would ask curiously to the frozen looking girl. Not knowing a name to place with the face.

Before long Excalibur would come out too! It seemed that everyone that could possibly be there out of the group was now present, which made it all seem very lighthearted for the demon boy now. To be surrounded by friends and a new face made it pretty exciting. But then the person said something about harm, probably to go along with the wary gazes around her. However her words twitched a light reaction from Bernael. "You're not programmed to do harm...?" Bernael would questioning gently, blinking a slight bit while thinking on it all for a moment. It seemed with the voice tick that he heard and the way she just said she wasn't programmed to do harm. It made it pretty easy to assume that she was a robot or perhaps a cyborg of some kind. An Android even if the pieces were placed right. Though, Bernael just decided to shake it off as he didn't want to appear rude still as to go into it. "Well, its fine if the gift must be returned. Its understandable if its just meant to be something to show us to make us understand the situation... however, your master desires an alliance? Well, if he desires good standings... I myself can say I would be open for it... but I can't speak for these other two so you must get your own answers from them" he would just say before falling silent once more.

It was very odd that this person had known about the battle on the lookout, how could anybody even get that information? It was sort of curious but he didn't want to get too much into it until the person spoke up about the other people in the battle who were not present at the time. "Oh no you're mistaken. Tau and Arion made it through, the battle did not hold too many casualties in fact. There was... the saiyan boy Komatsu, who perished when he tried to stop an attack...." Bernael would then go silent, not wanting to think about it too hard but still deciding to bring it up anyways. "There was also our friend... Blue... well, I guess I should call him Jarvis." Bernael would murmur, a sad look on his face as he would think to his departed friend, someone who may not have been as close as the demon boy himself thought, but in his heart they were friends that spent some good times together. "He... he also died trying to help us fight off those saiyans..." the boy went into it a bit more but shook his head, he was visibly saddened by the happenings still as he clenched his fists and just sort of let it all go.

"Sorry for bringing up, sad stuff though. I suppose that isn't what you are here for." was what he would be finishing off at before looking back to Atsuko. "Shall we go inside then? I am sure it wont be a problem if we go to the throne room and such..." but he would look to the person once more. "And you have been a pretty good emissary... you're not really doing anything wrong, at least~" was all he would say before going quiet.

The mysterious Android began by saying that they certainly didn't mean any harm, and only came here for an audience... But there was one more thing in her speech that caught the Knight's attention; the fact that she referred to Bernael as 'red'. Only one person had done that up until now, Jarvis. There may have been a few rough spots with him, but he wasn't a bad guy... Just needed to be shown that things could be different. His death still weighed on her pretty hard, however she had to remain focused on what was going in on front of her.

Though it seemed like whoever this was truly didn't mean any harm, the newcomer proceeded to comment on Ayami's eyes. That prompted Atsuko to smile. "What is it about your eyes that do that, Ayami?", she inquired in a teasing tone of voice. Bernael couldn't help but comment on how amusing that was as well. Meanwhile, the purple haired girl then properly greeted the woman in red, who proceeded to smirk in response. The Sacred Sword was already approving of the newcomer that had arrived only minutes ago at this point. Though the pleasant conversation then began to turn.

The newcomer was explaining why she was here, and the Saiyan listened intently to her words. "Instructed... And Programmed...", the Albino Saiyan lightly commented as she listened to the explanation. Pondering over the implication of those words. "Ah, I think I understand. You're like Flare's creations, although you seem to be much more... Coordinated than Jax.", the Knight then stated. After that revelation, she then thought over the rest of Emi's words. The Caesar of the new Empire? Was she talking about the Saiyan Empire? Atsuko tensed up slightly as she made that connection, was this a ploy from Athren, then?

However, the Android didn't seem to pick up on that, and instead asked if she was truly Atsuko. The one called Guardian, although her data was apparently incomplete on that... The Saiyan took a moment to compose herself, and then nodded. "I am Kami Atsuko Inoue, 'Kami' meaning 'God'. I watch over Earth, there are various titles but you can simply refer to me by name. For ease of what it is I do... A Guardian of Earth is the most accurate summary.", the Albino Saiyan responded. Something about this was still making her a little anxious. It was just how unknown all of this was.

Apparently her Master, who was the 'Caesar' of this New Empire, wished to form an alliance. Well, that... Rather handily ruled out Athren. Unless it was as she thought earlier, this being a ploy. But then he probably would have tried to paint it as anything else in order to rule out potential suspicion. In her own personal opinion, he may not have been the smartest individual... But if this was meant to be some sort of trick, he would have made sure that no one would have expected it, or at least tried a little harder than that.

While the Knight was mulling all of that around in her head, the Android was looking around the Lookout before settling her gaze back onto Atsuko, and asking if it would just be them in an audience if she was invited. Before then elaborating on the lack of appearance by Tau or Arion. The Android was also curious on how many ended up dying in the battle. The half demon rather accurately summed up everything that happened, but even so... "There were only two casualties in that battle, due to quick thinking on my own part."

The Saiyan explained, finally Emi asked to speak inside, and hoped that she was doing well as an emissary. The Albino Saiyan thought it over, but... What harm could she really do? With a nod, she then turns to the Palace, making a calm gesture for the Android to follow. It was about at this point that Atsuko noticed that Ayami seemed to be rather uncomfortable. She gently placed a hand on the Water Elemi's shoulder. "It's alright. Nothing bad is going to happen.", the Knight attempted to comfort her, and then afterwards she made her way inside of the Palace.

It was a short trip to the Throne Room, and then the Albino Saiyan proceeded to take a seat, her gaze settling onto the Android once more. "As I mentioned... There were two casualties. The first was Jarvis, his death is...", the Knight paused for a moment, casting her gaze down to the floor. "...It still weighs on us. I feel like I could have done more to help him, if I hadn't lost control of myself.", the Albino Saiyan explained honestly, but soon her gaze turned back to Emi. "The other casualty was on the invading side."

Atsuko began to elaborate. "A Saiyan, known as Komatsu. He interrupted an attack that surely would have sealed the Saiyan Prince's fate. Though... His death was accidental, I never wanted Komatsu to die. And in light of recent events... I don't harbor any further ill will towards him.", the Saiyan added. That caught the Android up to speed on what happened during the battle. "The Saiyans did attempt to destroy the Lookout, but I was able to prevent it from being destroyed entirely; hence why it's still in somewhat rough condition...", with that, that covered everything that happened after the battle.

"Now, you mentioned that you brought a gift from this... Caesar of a New Empire? Can I ask how he knows so much about us, and this battle on Earth? I'm also rather curious of this gift as well...", Atsuko then inquired. Now she allowed Emi the opportunity to be able to speak. If her intended goal was to pique the curiosity of the Guardian of Earth, she was succeeding in exactly that, and no doubt Bernael was growing rather interested about it as well. Ayami on the other hand... She looked so deathly pale, like she had seen a ghost.

Or something equally as frightening. Atsuko wanted to take a moment to discuss what was wrong, but she had to focus on her duties for the moment. This was a newcomer to Earth, after all!

Amidst all the talk of death and loss, it seemed that a bit more was given for the Emi to talk to Ayami about the kiss that she sort of offered depending on the emissary's gift to show them all. Honestly, the words that the girl was saying made Bernael's face flush with red. What the hell kind of thing was that to discuss so openly?! Maybe he mistook intent or opening, perhaps as she was speaking of, she wasn't programmed to read the kind of situation it was and everything. But, seriously the speaking of her master french kissing his life mate was a little unexpected for the boy as he would just get a mind filled with what else the poor girl had to watch if she was just in witness of such an act so as to be able to put it and know of it visually to memory. Even more was the girls offering of something along the same lines as what she discussed for Ayami, which made him picture the two together doing stuff like that or even further and then his entire mindset was set ablaze with such thoughts as he would just clear his mind of those thoughts and continue on with the explanation of death and loss like he did before. Even Atsuko going as far as backing it up a little bit, with words of how many casualties were on the field. His mind continued to be filled with other memories now... of other people lost in the world so far, which brought about a sort of daze of sad thoughts.

Though, Bernael would slowly snap out of it as he would see Ayami drain of energy from hearing what was being discussed. He... didn't want to have that effect from his speaking of the events and he honestly felt sorry. "Ayami I.." he would just slowly say as he would see Atsuko start trying to comfort the girl. "I didn't mean to... well..." Bernael continued to sort of fumble his words, not knowing how to apologize for his wrong doings since nothing the Emi girl did really seemed like something to get that effect, and it was all during his explanation that it fell down. "I am sorry Ayami... I should have left such talk more in private... I didn't mean to give false scare, it was absent my intent..." he would say lowly to her, more seeming like he was trying to be considerate and sorry even in this time of unknowing how to be helpful. Though he didn't know if anyone aside from Ayami and Atsuko would have been able to hear him with how low and soft his voice was trying to be, like a mother speaking softly to their child in their arms trying to get them to sleep within the cradle of loving family.

It also seemed like that was the case, especially since the girl was trying to apologize as well. Perhaps she did something wrong as well? He wasn't sure but he didn't feel like anything was done wrong, but perhaps the girl was making assumptions due to her lack of social skills it seemed like? She seemed to say that she didn't know much of interaction, so all of it could have been potentially taken wrong. But for now his mind would fall towards the idea of helping Ayami a bit, as he would just sigh gently and nod to Atsuko and Ayami as the latter would want to go inside as well, the prior saying accepting. "Lets go Ayami, we should be able to get relaxed inside and it should be a lot nicer~" he would say very softly trying to maybe sooth her a bit more before it was time to go.

It was pretty easy for all of them to get to the throne room of course, so once they were all in there, Bernael would take a gentle relax against the wall of the throne room, off to the side. He had found himself in this position many times. Whether it was when he was relaxing waiting for Atsuko to awake the first time they had found themselves in there, and many other times as well this had happened. That moment wasn't any the different as he would look over at the bunch of girls he was with. It seemed pretty natural to be in here, with Atsuko on the throne and the rest scattered about for a bunch of business. Though sometimes it would be more organized like it was with Komatsu's revival with them all standing in a sort of line, where as this was just scattered about at places in a sort with him back against his lonely wall. Though his eyes would draw to the case once more, curious as to what was inside but being patient alongside curious. Not wanting to be intruding with more questions at what it was before slowly resting his head back against the wall. He was glad though, meeting new people was always fun and the tone was becoming a bit more light as Emi was apologizing again to Ayami, as it looked quite adorable.

There it was again, Emi called him 'Red'... Why was that sticking out so much for Atsuko? Wait... In all of the confusion she had forgotten; Jarvis wasn't dead anymore. He escaped Other World somehow... And apparently after laying with Yemma's Daughter, at that. How could she have forgotten to mention something that important? Well, she would need to play it off for now. That could be addressed later. Truth be told, there was a lot going on and it was very difficult to keep track of it all... But the Knight would do her best to keep her focus on everything that was unfolding.

The Saiyan then noted that conversation turned to Ayami. Speaking of which, how was she doing? The Albino Saiyan turned her gaze to the Water Elemi, just in time to see the Elemi conjure water up and splash herself in the face with it... Before then becoming flustered about how Emi mentioned kissing earlier. It was... Honestly, rather adorable. Atsuko couldn't help but smile at that. Some of the tense atmosphere had fallen away, if only for a brief moment. However her attention was soon called back by the mysterious Android that delivered an unknown gift.

Emi mentioned that it was nearly perfect certainty that the Knight was the one that she was ordered to find. The Albino Saiyan was still curious about all of this... Even if it was Jarvis that had sent her, did that mean he took over the Saiyan Empire? Why didn't he deliver a less vague message, then? Why all the secrecy, and just what was this gift? Her gaze turning to it just as it let out another cold hiss into the air. Such an emphasis on keeping it cold... But she had to focus on her guest for the moment.

The Android then proceeded to ask several questions of the Saiyan, who listened intently to each one. "Ah, yes... The deaths do bother me. I understand that with battle, there comes a necessity for death. Sometimes it is merely unavoidable if one wishes to preserve order, and one day return to peace. But that doesn't make it any easier. As for Komatsu... I've forgiven him because I've learned that he is my little brother. In turn, that means Nasu is my older brother. I... Don't know how all of that will turn out. But Earth is my home."

The Albino Saiyan explained. "I won't abandon my duties, either... To answer your other questions, yes, I do like to think that I am a forgiving Guardian. Coming to violence, and taking another's life... They should be last resorts, and as odd as it may sound, I am in fact a Saiyan.", the Knight would then fiddle with the back of her clothes and armor a bit. Her tail then popping out and draping over the vacant armrest of the Throne. "As you can see with this tail.", Atsuko offered to Emi as proof of her race. With that out of the way...

The Android seemed a little unwilling to elaborate further. On who it was that sent her, anyway. The gift on the other hand, she wanted to at least wait until she was certain that everyone was fine. Just as the Saiyan was about to respond, Ayami ended up slipping from the armrest and into her lap. The Water Elemi was quick to apologize and stand up, getting out of the way. The Knight lets out a small laugh at that. "It's alright, Ayami... Once we've finished business here, I'd like to talk to you about what's bothering you so much."

The Saiyan directed to the Elemi, and then turned her gaze back to Emi once more. "I'm fine... But, before we address the gift that you've brought, I do feel the need to elaborate on something.", the Saiyan stated. This was going to be... Rather awkward, she couldn't remember if she had told Bernael about this or not. "...Jarvis did die in that battle on the Lookout, but I know that he came back. After making a bit of a mess of things, as he tends to do.", the Albino Saiyan began to explain. This would likely come as a shock to both her, and the half demon.

"Additionally, I've only ever known one person to refer to Bernael as 'Red'. That would be, yet again, Jarvis. I haven't heard of any of his antics here on Earth, so this Caesar of a New Empire... I'm curious about all of the secrecy, but I have my own guess as to who it is. I'm aware that you are unable to say, but given all of the intel that you have on us, knowing exactly where this sacred ground was located, and referring to Bernael with such specific term..."

The Albino Saiyan paused for a moment, staring at Emi in the eyes. "...Jarvis sent you, didn't he?", the Knight poised to the Android.... But regardless of answer, she would then give a nod. Of understanding, or affirmation, whatever the case may be. "In any case... I'm ready to see the gift that this Caesar has brought. I trust that my friends are ready as well. So if you would please?", the Saiyan then asked. There truly wasn't any rush, but the Knight was so curious about what was inside of that case, and just who sent this Android, and why.

The more she questioned all of it, the less the answers came to her. It didn't seem like it was going to get any clearer, either. Not unless Emi was more willing to reveal what she seemed to know, in any case. But the guest was being rather polite, and Atsuko didn't wish to pry anymore than she already did. She didn't want to risk getting the Android into trouble, either. But at least now the Saiyan had a theory to work off of, that Jarvis may very well have taken control of the Saiyan Empire. Or at least...

He founded a new group. But she had no real proof, either.

Bernael would give off a very soft chuckle, noticing that the Elemi girl was doing a lot better now than before, it was good seeing her perk up and return to her very perky and happy sort of deal, not going too harsh in terms of being against anybody. He hated seeing her sad so this was a good turn around for the boys mood with all of it, he was around a bunch of nice people so he needed to have a nice time after all! Though that was just his own personal opinion on it all.

Soon however, Bernael's entire attention shifted towards Atsuko and the words that she had said, which was an entire flip upside down for the Demon Boy, as his fists would tense up in confusion as he looked towards her. At the very least, the awkwardness would be answered.... he was never told about Jarvis being alive again, as the mans death weighed on Bernael heavily for all this time. "Wait.... what?!?!" was all that Bernael would question out in a demanding tone towards Atsuko as soon as she said that Jarvis came back. "When did that happen? W-Why wasn't I told about this?! Was it before or after Komatsu came back..? Why wasn't I told about it then, I thought it was odd that Komatsu was able to come back without our planned course of action, and he seemed to be looking around for something back on the lookout too. That was him wondering where Jarvis' revived at wasn't it?" Bernael would go off into a long drawn-out tangent of different questions aimed at the Guardian. He wasn't mad at her he was just... confused, and he didn't want to go off on her to make it look like he was mad.

"Sorry Atsuko... I'm not mad at you or anything I just am so confused. You know Jarvis... he was one of my best friends. Even if some people didn't get close to him or didn't really like him much. Or even if he didn't like me much... he was one of my best friends... certainly the best guy I knew... I just, wish I knew he was back" the demonic human would say, slowly looking down and holding onto his arm, feeling ashamed for blowing up on her like that even if it didn't have ill intent. But then he broke off and thought about her next words. Well... he did think about that earlier when she first called him Red but he wanted to pass it off as his hair color once more, but the more she brought it up the more it sounded too much like a true statement, in which point he would slowly look towards the Emi and blink slowly. "Sent by... Jarvis...?" the demon boy would question, unclenching his fists at that point already. It was only then that the Emi had confirmed that it was all true... using a very familiar tone to say something about Atsuko being clever.

He would slowly move towards her before trying to throw his arms around the Emi, even if it moved out of the way he would have spoke his lines but he would try to anyways, in a non-hostile way. "If Jarvis sent you... can he see all this right now? Or is he going to be told of everything..." at that point, if the hug worked he would slowly back off, but would stay there anyways. "If not... can you just give him a hug just like that. To tell him that I am sorry I couldn't help him. That he had to die... I miss him a lot, he was one of my best friends and it pained me for so long to see him go. Just knowing that he lives, lessens pain focused on the heart... but also tell him that no matter what, I am going to see him one day, no matter how long it takes or when it has to be I need to sit down and talk to him... just like the old days" Bernael would then grin to the Emi, before backing off a lot back to his old spot, he needed to give them all room anyways for the case, but he would move closer to Atsuko and Ayami to allow him to see the case with them all.

Though what had shown itself from the gift... in the case... was quite horrifying. Staring at the decapitated head of Athren, Bernael's eyes would go wide as he would grit his teeth. "What the... hell...." Bernael would mumble to himself, his brain sparking a bit as the figure would chuckle in his mind, speaking to him only once. "Just like the old times... one down, two to go..." was all it would say to him before disappearing, where Bernael would just mumble back to him "Shut up... I'm not like that" before going silent, staring at the head a bit more in either shock... or perhaps terror. Hearing the words the Emi used along with its smile made the demonic human tense up... what the hell did Jarvis do if it was him?! "Jarvis... did this to him... and all the loyalists.. he subdued that empire...?" Bernael would question a bit, his look going to a bit more of amazement, wondering how strong Jarvis had gotten since they last saw.
