There was a loud bang and suddenly the painted skies of Paixao began to crack. Angels and clouds separated from the mural they had once been apart of and began to fell to the earth, crushing anyone and anything they managed to land on.

They were the first, but they certainly weren't the last.

Krichevskoy didn't think the Somas tasted particularly bad, but he was likely biased. It was better than chugging the usual BBQ Sauce or (ugh) an Opened Drink. You could never tell who had already got to those, and in the latter's case, the reward was hardly worth the risk.

He didn't move for a moment, watching Gwen closely with a small frown, but after that moment had passed and he was sure she really was going to be all right and she was setting about to healing herself, he nodded. "Be safe," he told her. "Laharl and Flonne should be here soon."

With that, Krichevskoy turned, took a few steps, and flew off back toward the domes.

THEN LATER...

[overlords_wrath]

His father had been right, more or less; it wasn't too much later before Laharl could be seen briskly approaching the church, with Flonne, quite literally, in tow. It didn't take him long to pick out his mother sitting against the church wall.

"Mom!"

His steps quickened as he rushed towards her, completely forgetting he still had a grip on Flonne.

"Ah, Gwen-sa-UUUAH?" Flonne broke off as Laharl tugged her with more force than she expected, resulting in her tripping over her own feet to keep balance. Not that she really minded...all his old strength back at a time like this? She could deal with being dragged a little.

And it spared her from trying to put into words her feelings that, of all times, decided to manifest out in the open.

Poking her head to the side behind Laharl, she gazed down at Gwen in silent concern.

Gwen had returned to resting. She'd seen to a few injured others, as well as, of course, herself, and now it just seemed... quiet. Eerily so. She wanted to do more, to go back and help, but she knew that leaving would only worry her family if they arrived and she was gone, and even if she left a message on the journals, well... they might miss it, to be honest.

And speaking of family... there was Laharl and Flonne. Gwen wondered if they had spoken at all about Flonne's little kiss that she had caught sight of, but it was probably unlikely. Gwen might just be observing the two of them a bit more than before now though...

...it just made her heart swell.

She stood and moved to meet them, smiling. "Good, you two made it. I sent Krichevskoy back to the city to help. Are either of you hurt?"

[overlords_wrath]

Vast amounts of relief spread over him as Laharl watched his mother stand. While he was sure she'd be okay... it was still a relief, none-the-less.

Laharl shook his head, biting his tongue from the 'of course not', he almost uttered. "I'm... fine, Mom," he replied, glancing back at Flonne, "And she is... too." Mid-sentence he turned red, realizing he still had his hand around Flonne's wrist.

Her wrist was promptly dropped, arm quickly wrapping across his chest, the other following, as he quickly now looked away. Hopefully no one they'd passed on the way had been paying any attention.

As soon as Laharl glanced down at their hands, Flonne blushed anew as well, snatching her hand back at the same time, also looking away. "A-Ah, no, we're fine, but..." She quickly moved away from Laharl to stand by Gwen's side, taking the woman's hand. "I completely forgot to heal you before I went back into the apartment building...I'm so sorry, Gwen-san! I'll cast a healing spell now, okay?" She avoiding looking at Laharl entirely, all too aware of his presence and nearness.

(Krichevskoy wouldn't have left her if she was still too injured, though she certainly would have pressed him into going, whether he wanted to or not.)

Gwen had to turn away as she caught the two blushing, she had to hide the smile that broke out over her face. Surely it would only embarrass them more. She busied herself with... well... there wasn't much for her to busy herself with now, and took instead to fiddling with the empty Soma bottle that she still had on hand.

"Oh! It's no worry, Flonne. I took care of it myself after Krichevskoy brought me here." She glanced over her shoulder to Flonne, and at least her large, open smile could be attested to her feeling better and not at all because of how the two were acting.

[overlords_wrath]

"Ah," Laharl murmured. It was easy to forget his mother did have some magic ability of her own. Whenever he thought of his mother, it hadn't really been part of her he'd really remembered.

"Where'd he go then?" he then asked, realizing his father didn't seem to be around here at all.

[love_freak]

"Oh....r-right." Flonne let her hands drop, releasing Gwen's hand. She glanced at Laharl when he spoke, but only briefly, turning to peer towards their surroundings for any signs of allies.

[lovesamidboss]

"I sent him back to the city to help everyone there, since I couldn't," she replied. "I don't imagine he'll be back anytime soon."

He better not be, anyway, otherwise she's sending him right on back, and maybe having him bring her with him, too.

[overlords_wrath]

"Yeah, probably not," Laharl agreed, looking back towards the city, knowing full well what a mess it was there. Briefly he contemplated going back himself, though he wasn't sure if pushing himself right now was a very good idea--he'd only just undone the seal after all.

"I... guess we should just wait for him here," Laharl said after a moments thought.
