!Rose yawned softly as she walked and then noted the soldiers parting in the hall. And then a familiar face. She smiled. Only a bit. Because she knew who it was. "Hello Kane."

He half smiled. "Greetings, Rose... It's been a while, this could be good or bad..." He looked around at the soldiers at the edge... waiting to see if he's going to do something to !Rose. He sadly looked to the soldiers. "Times have been easier. I've met my younger self... I am trying to convince him to forgo this curse... but he's not one to upset fate."

!Rose looked past !Kane for a moment and cleared her throat. As quickly as she did that, the soldiers cleared the hall. "I for one still enjoy my private conversations. Don't you?" She shook her head a little. "I see." She folded her arms and sighed softly. "Would you like me to speak with him?"

Kane lightened a bit. "Well... at least with an audience who won't soil themselves at the thought of me. It's nice to see you again outside the room." He spoke as though it was difficult for him to leave, but it wasn't her fault. Kane has become in the most part a hermit in his own right. He hated the looks. "You could... make it different for him... well... maybe not you alone... maybe your past self as well... Help him... understand this curse." But as Kane did... he always bounced back. "I heard that they lost the sun briefly... that past self of Hikari's... she was bold." He looked to her. "Are you certain they should be here at Zero?"

"It's very nice to see you as well." She hated keeping him to his room. But !Rose couldn't have the soldiers shitting themselves every time they saw !Kane. "I'll do what I can. And so will she." !Rose had a firm handle on her past self. Only because of the anger and one upping. "We had the moon. It was wonderful." She smiled a bit and sighed. "I may have to evacuate them as well very soon. Something doesnt feel right." Then again it never did.

Kane tilted his head and motioned her to walk with him... his hands were almost stuck to his sides as a habit... "Times are getting complicated... clocks are winding up and down... their being here is effecting their future... something that couldn't have been expected I'm sure. I fear for Diana... her clock is all messed up. I believe it is because something from the past is being conflicted with them being here. Isn't tomorrow Hawk and Nick's anniversary?"

!Rose followed !Kane down the hall and listened. She frowned a bit. "Tomorrow is. December 9th." Shit. "If they're not home..." She shook her head. "We'll have to intervene. Maybe marry them here until we can get them home?"

!Kane smiled some. "It won't be perfect... but it will do until they could have their own. Also... her time draws closer... you might want to have a talk with Z and Lianne." He hated this... he hated how he knew when... where... how... "I can't save her... her body won't respond to my powers as well as the others." He continued onward. "Everything shifts... the past Severs has taken a drastic turn since last night."

!Rose nodded her head. "I will speak with them as soon as I can." She kinda caught the hint. Honestly, it was a wonder Hayley was still alive. It was due to !Kane, and Jasper and Hawk's watch that was keeping her alive at this point. "Really?"

He shook his head. "I told her... she doesn't want them to know... but she doesn't understand what it means for them to know..." !Kane sighed. "I don't know what was done to him... but he dies even sooner then before... about a decade faster..." He blinked. "Alright, Rose... if you need to push the button on sending them away I'd advise it... I will inform Mina of the shifts... She'll probably enjoy them not around anyways... but her future isn't set in stone either since their arrival... "

She sighed quietly. "She likes to pretend she's not sick. Which is why she's always in the stupid medbay." Which was irritating to say the least. !Rose seemed to blanch a bit at the idea of AFR dying sooner than he was supposed to. Her shoulders tensed and she shook a little. She hated that. It was her immediate reaction. !Rose shook her head some, trying to shake it off. "Okay."

!Kane caught her reaction... He wanted to tell her what it was that killed him... but he hadn't the heart... also he was not allowed to intervene in the affairs revolving around someone's death. He sighed. "So much despair... means many more rounds I need to take... they are losing hope in the bubble cities... life is... losing meaning..." The more it did the more painful it was to him. "They are beating Lord Armok to the punch..."

!Rose folded her hands, trying not to fidget too much. She continued to walk, shaking off her...well, shaking. "I know." She frowned. "I want this stupid war to be over with. So much so that I kinda sunk into Mina and !Kaimu's thoughts. Of killing the past Armok. Save everyone the trouble."

Kane shook his head. "They have different life lines... !Armok has amassed so much power he isn't connected to his old self... or the past Severs either. That's why he still lives even though they had a blood bond. Unless you could force the issue ritualistically, killing Armok will do nothing but lose another front to this war. We could use it to our advantage... possibly flank the Lord of shadows with a lord of shadows. It's something we should consider, Rose." He looked to her... he bit his lip... "Look into your memories... they are changing before your very mind. Does anything stick out we could possibly use?"

!Rose sighed once more. She was tired. "I purposely do not do these things. I've long since blocked off my memories." And she didn't want to delve back into them

He took his heavily gloved hand and held hers... it was almost synthetic, and it didn't feel like she was touching a human, but the effect was sincere enough. "Whatever comes to pass will make a mark on those who need it the most. Our future is not a certainty... things are ever shifting... changing with every action... We are but players on a stage at this point. Let them direct us away from this... our lives... are not reliable any longer. The war, the losses... everything will change if they work hard enough at making it do so. Do you understand what I am telling you?"

She nodded her head as he spoke and held her hand. "I understand, !Kane."

He walked side by side with her... enjoying human contact probably for the first time in a long time... "Our war is ours, not theirs. Their fight begins the moment they return, whenever that should be." He looked to her. "You won't have to make the hard choices any more when that happens."

"Can't wait." She sighed once again. !Rose was so tired. She ran a hand through her hair.

!Kane had an understanding with what !Rose was going through... he too was not a leader forced into the roll... it costed him for the most part his entire country. He wished better for her constantly, but her losses hit her harder then his... he was there for her after the deaths of Kat and AFR. "Hope is the last thing we could afford to lose. It's tough, but not impossible right now and I know you have it in you, Rose. Your past self still has high hopes. Go to the wedding plan for our past hawk/nick tomorrow. Get it back in full force. Be one with them. You deserve a break."
