He didn't actually think Mizuki had done anything over the years. Hardly the case. No he had let his temper get the better of him and he hated it when it happened. Though Mizuki seemed to give him more then just a little on what he thought of Thalion's words. Accusing him of doing stuff over the years. The other had to know that was hardly the case. It had taken Mizuki a while to even warm up to him before they were even first together. Surely he didn't actually think... no he had a right to.

Mizuki was right he had dug this hole himself and he knew better, maybe not at the time with being edged on and that pride that Mizuki spoke of was mostly broken with thoughts that he couldn't even defend himself so how or what right did he have to train or try to defend anyone. Probably still the drinks having a effect on the mixed thoughts he was having at the moment.

Though Mizuki went on and by now he had given up on fighting back. The second wind was go and half of his body hurt even before anything was done. Let alone once things were said and over with. Even as Mizuki left the room and slammed the door he stayed there a moment before wincing to move and pull that spike out.

After the hand was free he half fell to the floor not being able or rather not having the energy or will to stand at the moment. He just sat there a little bit before shivering. He wasn't sure what hurt more really the actual wounds that were bleeding or his pride, heck his heart probably most of all.

He finally decided he needed to get some air. To hell with all of this as he forced himself to stand pushed away from the wall wincing having used the wounded hand. That was great if he wanted to try now he was shit out of luck.It would take a bit for that to heal under good conditions let alone if he didn't bother caring about it for the moment.

He grabbed some clothes and threw them on. Though that was mainly to cover most of the cuts and places that were bleeding if anyone asked. Though it was so late at night he doubted he'd run across anyone besides maybe a few guards. Heck out of all the rarity of it he never bothered with any armor either, it was almost a afterthought to even take a weapon with him.

Though he hesitated a little seeing as he had little use for lugging around two blades and the less weight on him at the moment the better off he would be. Whatever was his final thought leaving the one sword behind, if Mizuki was really that upset with how things were he could give the sword to someone else.

With that decided he finally left the room and started down the hall though each step hurt to be honest. He was glad that their link couldn't allow them to track one another. He just needed to get away for a bit. Just a while was the thought. Yeah like this was a smart move, going out wounded and his primary hand was the wounded one. No armor and no real energy to bother dealing with a fight. He was probably lucky he didn't run into any trouble for the time being.

As the next day came around Ryza seemed a bit concerned as she looked for Mizuki and questioned if he had seen Thalion. Though when he answered not from last night she frowned a little. He might hate training but he never missed it all the same. Though the one day turned into a few more before any word came that he had shown up again finally.

They knew he wasn't dead because Mizuki was alive and the link. But they had no idea where he had run off to or what he had done for the last three days. Other then apparently his survival skills were still decent as he didn't seem to be in too bad of shape considering that he had been missing for three days.

Well too bad of shape considering what Mizuki had put him through. He had managed to tend or wrap any of the larger wounds, the smaller ones he wasn't as concerned about. Hell he had half a mind not to even come back really. If it wasn't for a promise he had made to Belquiri he might not have actually. His pride in what he thought he could do well was destroyed and he hardly felt like he had a right to be training his own daughter to fight for herself if he couldn't even do that for his own self.

None the less Neimi seemed to be the first one that found him debating on if he was going to go through with coming back or not. She paused a little before she flinched before rushing over to him. "Where the hell have you been!?" Though he never said a word as she seemed to continue. "Do you know how many scouts we had looking for you? Where did you go let alone why and why do you look like-" "Neimi.. He started. As she shut up letting him speak. "I'm fine, so what does any of it matter." Though with that he started walking past her.

She stood there a moment as she let her shoulders drop a little. There was something wrong, and it wasn't just the poorly addressed wounds and whatever he had dealt with for the past few days. None the less she ended up finding a guard figuring Thalion wasn't going to bother and they had been trying for the past few days to get Mizuki to leave his study.

Honestly if asked Thalion didn't care about much of anything at the moment. If he wasn't linked to Mizuki he might have been a bit more reckless but the last thing he wanted was for the two kids to lose both of their parents. Though he was questioning and had been questioning his worth for the past three days. Heck he couldn't fight against Mizuki when it came down to it so why the hell had he been trying all of these years. Who knows maybe Luna and Ryza were both right and he was about worthless.

Though these weren't sad thoughts anymore as he pretty much seemed to be numb towards any thoughts at all. After a little while Neimi finally made him sit down as he glared at her he was fine "No you're not! You could have been killed what the hell happened to your hand even?!" She said wanting answers and knowing they would not be answered. Mizuki could get answers from him though so thats all that mattered. Rather so she thought. Heck the past few days Ryza had been questioning if Luna knew that Needren had been happy for some odd reason.

Granted the other male was happy to hear Thalion had vanished. Probably mainly because he disliked that Mizuki only had eyes for Thalion and he had not a chance in hell. Though with him missing he probably thought some crazy thought he could comfort Mizuki. Ryza swore that Needren had something to do with Thalion turning up missing.
