Broken Bonds [Rosey, Hatulan, Yoki; Closed]

[Kouzetsu Gin]

[This thread takes place hours after Freak Out, and takes place near Rosey's tent]

Having cleansed himself with a well deserved shower after his extravagant night of carnality, Gin was briefed by both Aoi and Orenji of the events of the prior evening. Despite the two young Celestials fear of reprisal, Gin lauded them with praise on their handling of the situation, Something Orenji expected, and Aoi was astonished at. Disappointed at the occurrence of such things, Gin decieded to tackle the root of the problem, choosing to discuss the actions of both Yoki and Hatulan with the person that escorted them there, the rambunctious Fae with a ill temper and foul mouth Rosey.

Walking to the Fae barracks, Gin bypassed Ameila and Mei to deal with this situation first and foremost, his face stern as he approached Rosey tent adorned in his normal training garb. Having been assisted by one of the Fae in Rosey's unit, Gin promptly dismissed the Fae solider and stood outside of Rosey's tent. "Rosey, I Kouzetsu Gin, Ha-ou and Supreme Commander of the military have come to discuss with you the events of last night that were the result of the actions of the being traveling alongside you. I shall wait until you are adequately dressed and in private, all those outside of Rosey are to exit the tent as soon as you are dressed and report to mess for your morning meal." Gin said in his usual authoritative tone, folding his arms as he waited for both Rosey's response and presence.

[Yoki Chepi-Isi]

Yoki woke up to the sound of Gin's stern voice. It actually frighten her a bit and it made her jump causing small amount of pain to her sore body. Sitting up, she looked around for her clothes since she felt better sleeping in the nude. After finding and putting on the issued uniform she noticed that Rosey wasn't here. In fact, it looked like she never even got into bed with her bed being perfectly in tack. She started thinking that maybe she had waken up early so she could be the first in line for breakfast.

She lifted the flapped to see the Ha-ou, squinting to prevent the unwelcoming sun from burning her eyes too much. "Um... Rosey's not here. Perhaps she's already at the food tent to be the first in line. She's like that you know. She likes to eat a lot and doesn't like to wait for her food. If she could, she would eat all day long." Her raspy voice sounded like it was having a hard time getting out her throat and it felt like it too. She started rubbing her sore neck and her sore body.

[Rosey]

Feeling refreshed from her quick little trip to the Mortal Realm, Rosey was able to walk back casually back to the training grounds. It seemed quite odd that she was able to do that, she figured there would be someone there to annoy her about some sort of procedure she didn't care for. But when she got near her tent, she saw Gin standing at the flap talking to Yoki. She frowned at the sight of him being there. What could he possibly want now? Did something happened while she was gone or was this about some bullshit mistake that he's trying to point at during her training. As far as she was concerned, she was busting her ass and trying to get the men under her to get into gear.

However, she figured that since he's talking to Yoki then its her problem until she got the chance to come back and talk to her about it. So she walked to her tent thinking that she couldn't be at fault for something and gave a simple greet to Gin. "Good morning sir." She tried to walk into her tent but Yoki didn't look like she wanted to get out the way. She seemed of sort off. Rosey started to wondered if something did happened while she was away.

[Kouzetsu Gin]

Gin saw Yoki as she came out of the tent, fully dressed and greeting him properly, Gin looked at the small girl and felt the smallest twinge of regret, not wanting to separate her from her friend, but he could not accord another disturbance to his troops or that of the Fae like last night. Before the Ha-ou could respond to Yoki's comments about Rosey being at breakfast, the rambunctious fae trotted back to the campgrounds, respectfully addressing Gin she headed for her tent, but her casual stroll stopped as Yoki blocked her path, bringing her to a halt.

Clearing his throat, Gin took several steps closer to the both of them, "Rosey, a situation occurred last night pertaining to your guests, and where in their actions have nothing to do with you, I thought it would be in both our interests to discuss the repercussions of the event in question." Gin said after clearing his throat to get Rosey's attention. Staring at the hot tempered Fae, Gin was prepared to deal with the usual sullen attitude she presented, but would continued to talk in moderation until such changes in attitude presented themselves.

"My intention was to come here and inform you that your guest's actions have proven to cause ripples in the troop morale, the incident happening in the dead of night, disturbing many Celestials and Fae seeking rest after training yesterday, and as a result, both Yoki and Hatulan were to be escorted out, perfectly free to reside anywhere else in my kingdom during the time of your training, but not here as I can afford no more distractions to the assembled forces. I understand that they are close to you Rosey, and you have worked diligently since your first day to make up for the unorthodox way in how you arrived, so I have taken these things into consideration before making my decision. However, the fact remains that physical action was required to subdue Yoki, something that was regrettably necessary, and this cannot go unaddressed.

"Yoki, if at all possible, I would like to know the extent of your injuries, if any are present, what provoked you to act out in such a fashion, and the location of Hatulan, the Dragon that accompanied you both here, he is just as much part of this discussion as you both." Gin said, addressing the two women outside their mutual tent, his hands placed behind his as he listened for a response from either party.

[Yoki Chepi-Isi]

From the look on Rosey's face, Yoki knew she was going to get angry at Gin but she too was angry herself and she cut off whatever Rosey was going to say. "Guest?" Yoki tried to scream, but instead the word broke apart as her voice cracked. She started coughing violently then causing pain to her whole body as it shook with the cough. She grasped one of the supports to the tent to steady herself, trying to relieve the pain she felt in any way possible.

[Rosey]

Rosey couldn't believe what Gin was saying to them. She was seriously going to start yelling at him until Yoki made an attempt to say something. But whatever she was going to say was interrupted by her terrible coughing and she could tell that she was in pain from how her face was distorted. All she could do was rub her back until coughing subsided and wondered what really went on last night.

But she was still mad at Gin for what he was saying. "How could you say that my 2nd in Command here is a guest and suggest that she'd be removed? Did you not see her on the training grounds or were you too focused on something else?" She was unaware of what happened but she knew how Amelia has been all on him ever since she's gotten here.

"As for the troops morale, they have already been declining before last night. What the hell kind of place has unusually long ass days that don't seem to fuckin' end anyway? With all the rigorous training we've been doing and trying to adjust to such a foreign place, I'm surprised no one flipped out yet. And if you still want to kick some 'guest' out, then maybe you should kick out that damn dragon out. As far as his whereabouts are, I don't know and don't fuckin' care. "

She looked back to Yoki and saw how badly she looked. "What action are you talking about that was required for my 2nd in Command?"

[Kouzetsu Gin]

Gin sighed and took a step closer, he was now directly in Rosey's face, and the amiable look that he once had on his face was replaced by that of an arched eyebrow, his hands remaining intact in there original positioning. "While you are here, you are under my command, and you will refrain from using such profane and base manners speaking in my presence, and will address me with the utmost respect Rosey, this is my second and very last warning to you before you are reprimanded for insubordination." Gin said before tuning his attention to Yoki, who did not seem to be faring well, his comment that shirked her rank not taken so well.

"As for my terminology Yoki, I was neither informed on the significance of your arrival, nor was I implored by the Queen to be instrumental in your development. You are a 'guest' in the capacity in that you accompanied Rosey here, the term doesn't not diminish your rank. You still have not answer my questions, and as your commander is now present they will be deferred to her.

If you are indeed her superior Rosey, where were you last night Rosey, while your 2nd command tore through both camps respectively. Despite what you insinuate, I was present last evening, but I did not have to make my presence known, that is what my subordinates are for, to exercise my will, and I am responsible for their actions. Yoki received a mild electric shock from one of my men, anyone else had been unsuccessful in detaining her, the man that carried her, your Dragon comrade was responsible for her not receiving treatment that she was offered. But you were unaware of this, because you were absent last evening. Tell me Rosey, where were you during the fiasco, you seem to be so keen on implying that I do Yoki no proper respect, but you dodge you hand in this, or lack thereof.

Despite what you may think, this does not have to be a standoff between you and I Rosey, I came here to discuss terms in the best interest of your friend, terms that if we could not agree upon would result in her expulsion to receive help for what seemed to be a serious outburst, but you would not know this not having been there. You may hate me, and loath who I company with, but you will respect me Rosey. Na'ame personal asked my to look out for your welfare, imploring me to help you onto a more productive path than the one you embark upon currently." Gin said, switching his direction of speech between the two.

Gin leaned closer to Rosey face, the rim of his glasses nearly touching her long lashes, her eyes defiant to his presence. "You may not believe me when I say this, but I care enough about you to see the Queen wishes come to fruition. Will you throw away her sacrifice over such petty trivialities, and your own anger and resentments." Gin said, staring directly into her dark eyes. Gin would not yield any further ground to this fae, her childish attitude and lack of respect for authority made the Ha-ou extremely frustrated, but he would not show it here, choosing to respect the wishes of the Fae queen rather than physically discipline Rosey.

[Rosey]

Staring back at him while he questioned her about where was she last night and how the fae queen wanted him to look out for her. It seemed like the Queen had some personal agenda for her and all she could do was look away when his last words escaped his mouth. She clenched her fist in frustration and she could feel her ears getting hot. She could do nothing but tell him what he wanted to know.

"I needed to get away from this damned place, sir. I was in the Mortal Realm. Yoki, hurry up and tell the man what he wants to hear. I want to hurry up and get ready for training." She still refuse to look at Gin.

[Yoki Chepi-Isi]

Yoki sighed. "I had a nightmare. It was about a past lover getting killed by the humans I thought I could trust. I don't know why I trusted them after what they did to the clan I was living with in the Mortal Realm. He would've probably been alive if I had just separated myself from them so that he wouldn't have to come to see me without any worries. The humans are such cruel creatures towards us youkai... I basically had to run to Faerie Realm where my family was..."

She thought about how Gin wanted to remove her from the training grounds, something she didn't want to do because she felt that she belonged here. "Despite having a sore body, I want to stay here and be with the rest of my people. I might not be a faerie but I made it possible for other shika youkai's to join the queen's army so I'm gonna stay here so that I wouldn't disappoint her." Her voice, even though it struggled to come out, had a lot of pride and hope in it. She went through a lot to come to where she was and she didn't want this Celestial taking it away from her.

[Kouzetsu Gin]

Gin knew he was pushing both Celesital and Fae forces very hard, too hard for some, and in the case of the one delinquent before him, it was something he saw fit to correct today, allowing for a day of rest from the training. He listened to Yoki's words, and despite the ruckus she caused, she was in her own words Rosey subordinate, and responsibility, so Gin would decided her fate based upon those circumstances. Clearing his throat with cough, Gin looked down at both Fae who stood significantly shorter and raised his chin to deliver his verdict.

"Had you been present Rosey, this situation with your friend would not have occurred, along with you being informed that today was to be a day of rest for all soldiers, only high ranking officers and generals were required to at least resume clerical duties. But your honesty, however brash it be upon deliver is admirable, and in light of that I will allow for Yoki to stay under one condition. While you are here, under my command and authority, all escapes to the mortal realm are forbidden, if this agreement is breached you face both serious reprimand from me as well as have to face the expulsion of your friend.

"Yoki, you will report to Rosey henceforth, and she shall doll out what ever assistance you made need in preventing these recurring nightmares of yours. I do not have to remind either of you that your Dragon friend is not allowed outside the watchful presence of you both, civilians have there place and it is not here. He is only here under the grace and respect that I have for your respect of my authority, something that is being challenged to no end, and rightfully best be corrected, do I make myself clear with these term?" Gin said, addressing both of the two women in front of the beige tent.

[Rosey]

Yippee, was Rosey thoughts to the free day given to them besides the ones that had to do bullshit work. Rosey still didn't look at him even as he explained how she had to be confined to the Heaven Realm if she wanted her friend and 2nd Commander to be able to stay. But she was glad to know that instead of the dragon watching over her now, she would be watching over him.

After he was done flapping his lips she responded to him while still staring at the ground. "Yes sir. If you're done now, I'll be taking Yoki to get looked over at the medical tent." She pulled Yoki along as she walked away. She wanted this whole war to be over so she wouldn't have to be here any more to take orders from him.

[Yoki Chepi-Isi]

Feeling as if she got Rosey into trouble, Yoki could do nothing but lowered her head in shame. Maybe if she hadn't freaked out from her nightmare her friend wouldn't have gotten into trouble and she wouldn't be sitting here listening to this celestial king either. She started to wonder if Rosey was mad at her. She looked over and saw her looking at the ground away from Gin. It made her worry that she was indeed upset at her.

Yoki looked at Gin and her face had a hint of sadness to it while she replied to Gin. "Yes sir." She felt Rosey grabbed her arm after saying that she was taking her to medical treatment. It wasn't a rough and hostile grab that she expected so it made her feel a little better, but Rosey was still focused on the ground ahead of them as they walked away from Gin.

[Kouzetsu Gin]

Gin took notice of Rosey's persistence disrespect, refusing to look him in his face as if he suffered from some affliction, this blatant lack of regard for her superior made his blood boil on the inside but he kept a stoic look about himself. Yoki could sense her friend's disdain and apologized for herself and Rosey, and Gin nodded in approval as she left without dismissal. Both of them were far from the Ha-ou, Rosey moving at an expeditious pace to remove herself from Gin's presence and he allowed them to go, frustrated with dealing with Rosey, but not allowing it to bother the day's progression. Taking a mental note of what transpired, Gin would discuss this among other things with the Fae queen, unsure that the stiff hand he would used to mold Rosey would be too excessive.

Turning away from the tent, Gin walked back to his own quarters, remembering the Fae that was poking around his tent during his discussion with Tsubasa and Mei was near, picking up on the specific signature of hers with his Law magic. She was nowhere near the Fae camp, and during the morning portion of the day, all Fae were required to be near their tents to report for their morning meal. She would not have been hard to find if she was present, and this made Gin even more annoyed. Dealing with Amelia was one thing, but having two Fae that leave a military exercise with reckless abandon was out of the question. Carnality was the reality faced by cohabitation of genders in a military setting, so Gin as a purveyor himself had no choice but to be lax on this, but desertion was something that would not be tolerated, and it seems some example would unfortunately have to be made.

[Hatulan]

After returning Yoki to the camp, Hatulan decided that there was much to think about and left her in the medics' care.
He moved about the camp, noting how many tents there were, their dimensions, their variety, the less-than-subtle presence of Einherjar observers mirroring his path, some distance from him, always keeping him in their view.

But his mind was focused primarily on the most recent events, specifically how he had acted when he had seen Yoki hurt.
He was frightened at the uncommon behavior he had displayed; even when dealing with the dragon slayers all those years ago, he had maintained as much calm as he could muster, making their deaths as quick and painless as possible, when all other options were closed to him.

Upon reflection, he needn't have taken the actions with Yoki and the Einherjar as he had.
It was uncharacteristic, and that disturbed him.
What was it about that situation that changed everything? he thought, worriedly.
The only thing that had changed in his life, after meeting Draco, was joining Rosey's group.

He'd joined small parties now and then, but that was usually at the behest of his lord, for recreational hunting or to eliminate bandits on the frontier of the estate.
He was forced to admit some sort of attachment to the group; to Yoki at least, if not to the easily-irritated Rosey.

Eventually, Hatulan realized he'd come to the Ha-ou's tent. He smirked at the fact the Einherjar hadn't stopped his approach, given the prior events.
He looked the tent over, no visible damage apparent, and brought his hands around to clasp each other behind his back.
Perhaps his guards figure that their king will take care of it himself, if things get worse.
Maybe I should apologize, he thought.
