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."
-
"And I'm guessing it's not an easy thing to do or else they wouldn't be bringing us back from the dead?@
-
"You have to be able to wield the power. Aka, the Light. You are able to," she added.
-
"Ok then. Well, even if I am insane, Im already liking where this is going."
-
"Believe me, I felt the same way," she said.
-
"How many more of us are there? Do we have an army or is it like ten against the world?"
