S: "Can't feel what? I can feel a lot of things right now, and most of them are things I'd rather not feel right now. Not to mention the voices..."

"Your Light's gone."
-
S: "Not technically. It's not within me anymore, but it's not gone. I knew what Aries was doing to me before it was too late. I had a trick or two up my sleeve at the time. Preserving measures, if you will..." He slowly looked up at the traveler directly, as if he knew something about it that no one else did. As if he saw something inside of it that no one else could see. S: "...But, if you mean I have no possession over it anymore, then you're right. For now..."

"Hold on." Erik put a hand on Switch's chest and focused for a second.
-
Switch was expecting come kind of feint feeling to hit him the moment Erik touched him, as any guardian would in contact with a taken, but instead it felt soothing, almost inviting. Familiar. S: "What is it?..."
-
"Inspecting if you have cardiac cancer. I'm checking your Light." He rolled his eyes under his helmet, but smiled a little. Only a little.
-
S: "Uh thanks, but last time I checked, Exos didn't get cardiac cancer. We don't even have cardiac tissue..."
-
"It was a...nevermind. Anyway, it's barely there. Just a tiny sliver."
-
S: "--of light?"
-
"Yeah."
-
S: "Good. That'll be enough for now... The one thing of mine that Aries will never be able break is my will to serve the light. But anyway, I should have already left... I know a place. Secluded, tranquil, and safe. Somewhere to hide and recollect thoughts. Somewhere to just..." Switch and Jaden both became encased in a thick dark cloud of whispering black smoke that seemed to twist and turn like the ocean tides. After a moment or two it dispersed and settled, evaporating into nothingness in the air. Switch and Jaden had disappeared.

-
A female titan stepped forward from the crowd of surrounding guardians and a addressed Erik. "They're gone, mate. They're safer wherever they are now than they were here. Some trigger finger was bound to snap at some point sooner or later"
-
"But I..."
-
"If you want to find him, you already know where to look"
-
"What? I have no idea where they are."
-
"Can't you feel it? Anything at all? That 'teleport', or whatever he just did, left that dark odour in the air. Like a trace or indicator of where he went. Feel it. Read it"
-
"The hell are you talking about?"
-
"I'm sure you'll figure it out, bright spark. I guess it's up to him now. If he wants to talk to you, he'll come to you"
-
"Hopefully..."

-
"Maybe." Jasher walked out of a corner, his armor rippling into a dark green. 'I am, too.'
-
"Then we're concluded. I'd usually lead Switch and Jaden on stuff like this, but I'm a little out of my comfort zone quite obviously. So, Erik, where to?"
-
"No idea." 'Great.'
-
Edited by Moot: 12/15/2015 12:32:45 AM"Well, I doubt staying here is useful. I'm heading to the tower hangar. Stay in touch, we both have friends involved in this now" The titan proceeded in the tower's direction, walking out of the courtyard and through the rubble strewn streets.

'We go after her?' "Let her go. I have business, anyway." 'You haven't changed a bit. Except for the part that you're Taken, of course.'
