[She kept hugging onto Rei and closed her eyes. She lacked the ability to sense others emotions like Rei, but she didn't need it to know how badly Rei was upset. But she wasn't surprised. The senshi were sisters in all but blood, to have been away from them after so many years together, to never know when you might see them again, if you see them again? She held Rei a little tighter, willing to hold her as long as she needed.

She would be there with her silent support until Rei was ready, no matter how long that would take. She continued to stroke her hair and rub her back.]

I know.

[Rei's silent for a long moment, just holding her and being held helps, and she needs the time to stop herself from shaking. Thinking about Simon's words, and about the Nexus Code. It's...unsettling, the balance going out of her mental state for a little while.

But she finally manages to let go of that, letting out a breath and zipping back to business.]

Athena-chan's partner is gone now. She's...taking it hard. [A bit of an explanation.] Simon-san was a respectable man. [RINGING praise coming from Rei.] A falconer, and he left her his falcon. Taka. Do you...think you could help me research the sport? She asked me for help earlier today, for how to take care of him. And it's the...least I can do, given how she helped me when I was alone.

[She was a bit surprised by the sudden change of topic, but did not question Rei's need for it. She could go with the change of course like a river might. She smiled and then quirked a brow regarding the research of the sport.]

Of course I can help, I recall coming across quite a few books on it when I was looking up some other things. Do you want to read the books with me or would you just like the notes I take?

[faithfulflame]

[Rei isn't wanting to dwell, is all. It may be a strange shift, but it's relevant, because Simon had been important to her. He was a good man, and he was good for her friend.]

Well, I'd rather read them with you. Your notes are one thing, but there's no substitute for reading myself. I've never quite had to care for Phobos and Deimos the same way, after all.

Alright, I will search the library and prepare some notes for Athena as well, since she will need to know most of all. Actually, considering how... tame, your crows are, it may not hurt to eventually have them socialize. I won't know for sure, however, until I really look into it.

Actually, Rei, regarding the two of them, what I was wondering... I know you mentioned them transforming, are they still able to do that here?

[faithfulflame]

Oh, well they got along famously with Taka before, so I definitely intend to continue.

[She pauses, thinking on that.]

I...don't think they can. I doubt it. There hasn't been the need. And the circumstances are different.

[allergictoloveletters]

We'll let Athena get used to the falcon before we do anything, though.

How interesting if they can't, it's still a part of them, that would mean their codes are incomplete.

[faithfulflame]

Probably so. But then it's also that they only awaken in times of great need. I haven't really been in mortal danger very often here.

[allergictoloveletters]

Good, I want it to stay that way. For all the trouble CERES causes, they are at least slow in their actions, allowing us time to plan.
