The door could be heard opening slowly, then shutting quite softly in attempt that he woke no one up. He had retired late that day, apparently, and honestly, wasn't in the mood to just plop down on his bed and rest. He just wandered through the house, thinking to himself. When he reached Shadow's room, he stopped. She had been wanting to tell him something today, hadn't she? Might as well stop by to see if she was awake.

He slowly slid her door open, crimson orbs peering inside of her room to see if she was asleep or not.

She'd been sitting on the window seat, staring out at the moon and stars. Knees to chest and one arm over her legs, the other on the glass. A glance as she heard the door quietly close, and again as she saw her door slip open slowly. She hadn't slept, really didn't need to, though she probably should be trying more than she does.

A faint nod, wearing that black dress from earlier. Swords and daggers on the nightstand and a few others scattered about in various states of sharpening and oiling. The dim candles were floating over near the fireplace, but other than that the room was dark, bathed in the moonlight.

"Shadow, you okay?"

Concern on his face as he entered her room, sliding her door closed and heading over to where she sat. "You don't look so good."

She closed her eyes and shook her head. "No..I'm truly doubting the wisdom of being here..Of letting it go as far as it has. Debating leaving, but knowing that if I did I'd be followed, and that would be bad.."

Resting her head against the window she didn't watch him approach, letting the silence fall.

"Feel like elaborating? I don't exactly follow what you're saying.."

She sighed softly. "Ryo, you know only part of me..There's another side. Another woman..No, not Fire. I'm not Shadow Kitera, the name I was born with is Isthru Hikrua..I am...Was? An assassin, one of the best..I used magic and blades, augmenting my speed and strength with magic."

Biting her lip she looked away, staring out the window into the night. "I broke bonds with my clan..My blood brothers, and by rights they'll be hunting me down soon, if they haven't started to already...Needless to say, you're the first person in Rhy'Din I've told, and I need to tell Tyrus.."

She paused, almost not going on, then picked it back up. "I'm scared to tell though..My whole time here I've been lying, the woman I was under Bob is closer to who I was..I just don't know anymore..I'm..I just don't know.."

Ryo's hand rested on Shadow's head in a comforting manner.

"Shadow, or Isthru, apparently what you haven't realized is that whatever you did in the past is in the past. So you were a really tough assassin, a lot of people in Rhy'Din were too. What's important is what you make of your life now. Learn from your past experiences but move on and live your life happily the way you want to. And whoever's after you'll get a nice ass whoopin' anyway." A wink for her with a thumps-up, very Japanese-like.

"You've got too many good friends to get captured by them. We won't let them do anything, 'kay?" Giving her a quick squeeze then. "And tell me which name to use 'cause I don't really know which one you like better or anything."

She looked over at him when he patted her head, and heard him out. For several moments she looked at him like he was insane. Then she just started laughing. Really hard, she'd needed that. With a grin she hugged him.

"Thank you..I needed that. Really? I hadn't realized it was so common to have a nice bounty and painful death awaiting you.." She broke off and started laughing again. "Shadow. It's who I am now, the killing has kinda stopped being quite so fun." She smiled still. Oh yes, happy bouncy Shad was back.

"Well, it is. Whether that's a good thing or not, I don't know. But at least it helped you. And okay, Shadow. Glad you're over it." Said with a grin.

After a few more moments she pulled back with a grin. "You think I'm insane now, don't you? I know I'm moody as all hell...It's a little annoying, but it's been getting better since Dark closed some of the open wounds.." Tapping her forehead with a smirk.

"No, I don't think you're insane. You're not crazy enough to be insane." A nod for that. "And I didn't know Dark could heal and stuff."

Firebreath

She snickered. "Not crazy enough to be insane, yeah. Okay...." She looked at him funny for a second. "Yes..Dark can heal..Between him and Van I've stayed sane.."

"So ka. Cool, I suppose."

"You suppose? Your room mate being sane isn't a good thing? Since when?" Her tone made it obvious she was joking. She smiled at him a moment. "What happened with Fay? You never did say.." Poking him slightly.

"Happened with Fay-kun when?" Blinking as he tilted his head in confusion. "He's been gone for forever and a day, but I thought you knew that."
