he stopped outside the GIant doors to the Academy. he looked odd and out of place ins his BDUs. He dropped the green Duffle bag at his feet and sighed. He was glad he got done what he needed to do. He picked the duffle bag back up and slung it over his right shoulder. He entered adn headed for the Headmasters office. He had a lot to atch up on. And alot of explaining. But the Lieutenant had a valid excuse.

He dropped his bag at his feet. He was slightly scared. But nothing more. He looked at Briarius. Something was going through his mind no one would ever understand...

"Im back...for good..."

His words seemed to hint a mission. A purpose. His destiny seemed revealed to him but yet at the same time clouded. He was going to fight long and hard. He needed to mend what he had done. This was the first step to doing that....

::Cadence had noticed the Headmaster's return but didn't come to see him right away. She'd been seriously busy and she had also sensed the emotion rolling off of him that day. It was like some foreboding wave, some tell tale sign of war to come or something. He wasn't in a good mood when he came back. There was something different about him too. That little voice in the back of her mind warned her to just stay away, so she did and gave him some breathing room to figure out things.::

::She had asked one of the Citadel guards about Sha'uri and Lyndra later that day. She hoped they would be okay and sent them both flowers to brighten their day and to let them know she cared and missed them both::

::She kept to herself after that, noting the comings and goings of the Academy. Her ability to do that had grown keenly in the last few months. She even noticed the headmaster leave and come back with that Kairee person, the one she kept acting like whenever she went to the bar.... sitting atop the bar, crossing her spiffy little legs, gossamer wings fluttering sweetly and she'd smile with a twinkle in her pretty blues as she batted her thick dark lashes at people or gave some a wink. If she died her hair, she could very possibly pass for a mini Kairee. She always had fun doing it. It had been a long time since she'd sat atop that bartop::

::But when Gabe came strolling back in, she just couldn't stay away. Last time she saw him was the last time she'd been down near the bar, to which she witnessed something profound happening to her friend::

"You seem as if there is a new cycle in your life, Lieutenant. Do you wish to speak on it or would you rather not?"

::She was up around the ceiling, dusting the corners of cobwebs, when Gabriel came home. She kept quiet as she moved to follow him, silencing herself with magic after making herself invisible. She was much better at doing this nowadays. And so when the headmaster inadvertently distracted Gabriel, she dove in behind Gabe and hugged him from behind like she were going for a piggy back ride, spiffy legs wrapped round him waist and her arms flopped over his shoulders with a big 'ol hug while her gossamer wings fluttered behind her. Obviously, the invisibility and silence were now gone::

Space! It's about time yous brought yous spacey self back here!

::Giggling in Gabe's ear::

Welcome home, Gabriel. I missed yous soOOoo Much!!

"Would you care for a seat Lieutenant?"

The Headmaster had finally turned around. He wore a calm visage. He approached his desk.

"Cadence wait...You`ll need to hear this to..."

He felt bad. He didnt mean to make her feel as he did it was just. He didnt have anything to say. There was nothing to say.

"Headmaster...I must declince the seat...But in all your time have you heard of..Soul Seperations?"

He needed an anewer. This was something he needed to know.

::Gabriel's voice caused her to pause, but the Headmaster's voice had her looking berated again::

Sorry, Headmaster. But yous was in such a mood when you came back, I thought yous just needed some time. I kinda like my head, thank yous very much. But that's how I knews something bad happened to Mistress baby. It was kinda written on yous forehead as theys say. So I left yous alone.

::Her little feet pittered more then pattered to Gabriel's side. Something about her seemed shy and sheepish of the way the headmaster was looking at her. Fair skinned cheeks deepened a rosey hue while she stayed closer to Gabriel. She glanced between the two while they talked. She was curious more then knowing and tugged gently on Gabriel's clothing::

Yous mean like splitting the soul from the bodys or splitting the soul in two.. or more.

::funny, she stated it more then asked, but that was something she couldn't know why::

::Cadence smiled up at Gabriel, feeling kinda proud of herself for getting it right. Pretty blues shifted her gaze to the Headmaster while she bounced lightly on her tippy toes just a bit and eyebrows wiggled just a tad. She didn't say anything, though, just stood there all happy like::
