[b][i]The man was about average weight, maybe a bit lighter. He was breathing, though it would probably be a good bit before he woke up.[/i][/b]
"That s is the first time he's seen civilization in a bit. I raised him 9 days ago, and he's been walking since then."

She carried him into the city.
-
[b][i]A few people looked at the two, some confused at what was happening, others concerned for the passed out man and subsequent floating white star following the two.[/i][/b]
-
She carried him to her personal apartment. It was small. Yet cozy. She lay the Guardian on the couch.
-
[b][i]It was a bit before he woke up, not subtle at all. He sat half up, coughing like mad as he did, his thirst feeling like a desert was inside it. He pulled off his helmet, revealing his average skin tone and longer dirty blonde hair. He was faced away from the warlock, though It wasn't hard to notice him arise[/i][/b]
-
She heard him cough, and got him a quart of water, and set it on the coffee table. "Are you alright?" She asked.
-
[b][i]He drank down a good chunk of the water before speaking.[/i][/b] "I have no clue where I am, I was walking for 9 days without food or water. I'm peachy." [b][i]He says sarcastically before coughing again.[/i][/b] "Thanks for not leaving me wherever you did." [i][b]He says, this part not sarcastic[/b][/i]
-
She still didn't take off her helmet. "You newer guardians are so.... lightweight," she decided.
-
[b][i]By the time she had finished speaking he was almost done the water. He paused for a moment, taking a breath as he did.[/i][/b] "Well, I haven't exactly had the same conditioning as you have. I'm still a little stiff, tend to be that way after sleeping that long."
-
"You do show your point. But let me tell you this-- I've been a guardian for 18 years. Before that, I went through 15 years of Hive Torture, and nine years trying to navigate through the void, still aging as I did. I didn't have a lick of food or drop of water after my first week of living," she said.
-
"I see you're in a good mood. Real ray of sunshine." [b][i]He says jokingly, as he looked around, looking st his helmet.[/i][/b] "To tell the truth I'm not sure if I'm just crazy or all this is really happening."
-
Her Ghost appeared, "She isn't usually this.... edgy," he noted.
-
[b][i]He moved back a bit as the ghost appeared, sighing a bit[/i][/b] "God, I'm still not used to the whole 'appearing out of thin air and giving physics the middle finger' thing with you guys." [b][i]He said, looking st the ghost. His was hovering over his shoulder, its casing still pristine white[/i][/b]
-
This Ghost had moondust plastered all over his shell. In some spots, more than others. "I don't believe we've met," he said to the Ghost.
-
Ghost: "No, I don't believe we have either." [b][i]The ghost said, its voice feminine. It's time wasn't harsh, though not kind either, more just neutral[/i][/b] "Ok, so do all of us, what was it, Guardians? We all have ghost?"
-
"Most of them," Lunar answered. "Only most?" She asked.
-
"Well no offence but these things don't look ridiculously durable. Things get destroyed." [b][i]Jakob said, as he looked at his own ghost[/i][/b]
-
"Allow us to introduce ourselves," the Ghost said, "I'm Lunar. And the Warlock who saved you is my guardian, Sarah."
-
"A pleasure. Jakob." [b][i]He said, as the ghost looked at the group, not speaking. It was as if it didn't have a name or something.[/i][/b]
-
Lunar looked over to the Ghost. "Don't feel so glum. He'll start calling you by a name soon enough," he whispered.
-
[b][i]Jakob didn't seem to hear, or if he did didn't make a comment.[/i][/b] "So, there are other guardians... other ones here?"
-
"There are a lot of us that wound up here," Sarah noted.
-
"Well, glad to see I'm not alone then. It'll probably help me get a hold of this whole guardian thing."
-
"I will help you," the Warlock told him.
-
"Thank you. I don't really know what the hell I'm supposed to be doing, or how to do it."
-
"It is simple, in some ways," she told him, "You are a soldier. A warrior. With great power. That is, if you can hone it."
