In truth he had been trying, up until recently he had been trying even when Mizuki wasn't around he had been trying his damnest to get anything to work. Even a spark was better then nothing. But nothing seemed to work, it only did when he was fighting and his life depended on it or if he stopped trying and just said fuck it. Let alone this was all on top of whatever torture and methods the damned woman wanted to use on him.

Truth of it all was he was beyond tired, he never let it really show seeing as after Mizuki left and he was alone again he could just fall out in the floor if it was needed. Something he found himself doing often enough. It was almost hurtful that he was being told to try harder now. He never breathed a word though, no need, Mizuki wouldn't believe him.

Though as the other went on and heard his mutter under his breath he never got a second to explain what he had meant. That he had been trying and training even when he had no energy left to move he had tried to keep going. No Mizuki seemed to have something on his mind and it was going to get out and right now. Though it was hardly what Thal was expecting to hear EVER from the other.

He stood there after Mizuki spoke and said what was going on mere seconds before storming out of the room. How could he even begin to think about what the hell was going on. Thats not possible. Sure he knew Mizuki was getting sick as of late and that he had mood swings but... there was no way. Sure he had put on a minor amount of weight but .. nothing that was abnormal.

After a moment he moved back and leaned against a wall before sliding down and resting there on the floor. Neimi seemed to peek in before noticing the odd expression on Thal's face. "So.. I take it you know now?" She questioned before he looked up at her with no answer. "Thats a yes, you look like your about to pass out." She said shutting the door behind her in order to explain what was going on.

"So there you have it.. he spent a year training and preparing for this. He wanted to give you what he couldn't before and well.. apparently it seemed to work." She smiled weakly before Thal seemed to finally come to enough to speak. "I never said I wanted to restart my clan.. I ran you all away to protect you it wasn't because of who she was."

Letting out a heavy sigh he wasn't sure what to even do how to react or anything. This was not something he expected to hear ever in his life with Mizuki. Though his mind seemed to be pushed a little over the edge as it was as he spoke to Neimi. "He says try harder, I can't... I've been tying, every time i make progression in something the reward for it is more torture with the damned witch." Closing his eyes he sat there a moment before opening them to look at the ceiling.

"Can you give him a message? tell him I'm sorry.. I'd go myself but.. I think I've done enough for today." Neimi nodded though she wasn't sure she wanted to leave him like this. He nearly seemed lifeless, what he said was try and she was the first one he had let see him in such a state. Every time Mizuki was here he had put forth the best effort to hide his true state. She had never seen him like this and it worried her, he might break at any time and that could mean a number of things.

She told him to get some rest before she left the room and shut the door. Walking off she went to hunt down where Mizuki went to. She had passed Raden in the hall but he said he didn't know, aside form his room maybe. She checked there first and he didn't seem to be there. Where did he run off to? She frowned a little before going about checking random rooms until she found herself near what seemed to be the study.

Walking in she heard a slight noise before it seemed to muffle itself. "Mizuki?" She questioned before taking a few steps and trying to find the noise. After a moment she found him in a corner sitting on the floor. It was easy to tell his emotions were getting the best of him for sure. She shook her head a little these two.. one was in no state to fight and the other seemed to have no will left in him.

She moved to sit down next to him before putting a arm over his shoulders. "Calm down.. you have to, this is bad for the baby." she whispered trying to get him to breath with her so he calmed again. "Thal says hes sorry.. " She looked down a little before speaking again. "He doesn't look good though. I'm .. not sure what she'd been doing to him but he doesn't seem like he has the will even for hi to hold out much longer here." She wasn't sure if she should have told Mizuki this or not but she had to, she knew how well Thal could hide things. "You can't be mad at him for something he didn't know, we never told him a word about this plan. It's very apparent he has been trying, your emotions are getting the better of you and blinding you from seeing what his true state is."
