Triunis closed his eyes. He could feel something unusual about how Chii was acting, and he was trying to pinpoint it.
She seems a little more withdrawn then normal. I wonder what's wrong . . .
Triunis went into the speeder store. He looked around, and tried to find something which interested him. Seeing nothing in particular, he went up to the counter and spoke to the slender, sickly-looking woman standing behind it.
"Excuse me, miss, but I was looking for a speeder. It needs to be fast, fuel-effecient, and preferably capable of temporary flight."
The woman shrugged.
"Arright, I'll see what ah got."
She went into a back room, emerging a few minutes later. She was 'wheeling' in a large, grey speeder.
"This'll do fer yah."
"Excellent. This should suffice in payment. You could probably retire in under a decade with this object."
Triunis reached into the black satchel slung about his waist and pulled out a shimmering cobalt stone. He placed it on the table and slid it across to the woman. He turned to Chii and Vahn.
"I think that's all I need . . ."

Love.... Such a confusing emotion, full of sorrow and joy at the same time. Viewed as weakness, when in fact it has the power to destroy the universe. You can love one person, wish to embrace them. This is what everyone here uses it for, but I still have not found the one I'm looking for. The one who sahres my belief, that we should love everyone. That is what I look for in the one I love. Enough of this, we must be going. I wish to find this thing that shot my ship.
"Friends, may we leave now? I need to find something."

Triunis snapped his fingers, and the speeder disappeared. He turned to his friends and smiled.
"Magic."
He then looked at Vahn, and shrugged.
"I suppose. What are you looking for?"

Leaning against the window, Chii waited patiently until they had chosen a speeder. The sunlight hit her hair at a certain angle that it seemed to be giving off a lustrous glow, as if a halo was hovering above her head. Because of the length of her hair, she often found herself amidst a pool of golden hair, which got quite irritating after awhile. Trying to prevent herself from tripping over it again in the future, Chii took a thread of her magic, and wound her hair up into an intricate knot, and let it hang at her shoulders.
"There." she said, pleased, a content smile on her face. She was trying to not let anything dampen her mood, and at least, keep smiling. Giggling amusedly, she looked at the spot where the speeder had been then back at Truinis. It seemed impossible to dissimulate her love for him, but if she told him, what would he do? And what of Saya? I don't think I can compete with her for the love of Truinis. They're both too dedicated.
"Well, we've found a speeder, now about the weaver." she pulled aside a tall, ghastly looking woman with a pudgy little boy by her side, asking them if they knew if there was a weaver around.
"Around the corner. You'll see it. It's got a big, bright sign." the woman said fustianly, her nose held high in the air. Giving them a quick thanks, Chii returned to her friends.
"I think the weaver is just around the corner. 'Big, bright sign,' they said." she said, motioning back to the two. "Well, the weaver can wait until we find whatever you're looking for, then."

"We can go to the Weaver should you like. I only wish to find the one who shot me down, but I am in no hurry I guess."
Vahn looked over at Chii with a smile on his face. He had ment every word, but he was confused why he had felt it was urgent. After all, his step-father's favorite saying was " Don't be hasty.". And Vahn was always trying to be just like his father. He walked in the direction of the weavers. Still pondering whether he needed to go into training again.

Triunis began walking down the street towards where the weaver was, and looked at Chii as he did so. He was quite certain now that something was wrong. He spoke to her, keeping his voice low enough so that Vahn couldn't hear.
"Chii. Are you all right? You smile as you always do, but something seems amiss . . . "

"I see the sense in that. It's not everyday you get shot at. Well, I should hope not. " she said, egressing the shop with her friends. She kicked a small stone down the road, watching it bounce off the curb, and into the sewer.
She turned her head, hearing Triuinis approach, her gold flecked eyes filled with curiousness. She took a deep breath, trying to gain control of her emotions.
"I.. I.. I haven't been feeling quite normal recently. Everything doesn't seem to be itself anymore. Including me." she said just as softly, trying to avoid any eye contact.

Triunis stopped and turned to Chii, putting his hand on her sholder and trying to look her in the eyes.
"Do not worry, my friend. Whatever seems different, know this: Everything passes in time. Nothing is forever. You must simply embrace what you have now. Do not fear the future, simply allow it to happen, and do what you can with it."
He wrapped his arms around her. Though Treachus were big on touch, they were not usually known to hug. Still, he'd adopted the action after being friends with Chii for a good amount of time.
"Do not fear . . ."

Chii twisted her head to look up at Triunis, her eyes meeting his.
"But somethings -are- forever; they last even after the person who felt them has passed away." she paused briefly, "Like love." she turned away, trying to hide the hot tear that had found itself rolling down her cheek. She flicked it off with her finger, annoyed at herself.
"Like your love for Saya." she said ever so quietly. She let herself be hugged by Triunis, savoring the very touch of him.

Vahn walked over to the weaver's and opened the door for the others who were shortly behind him. He was curious as to what Chii and Truinis were talking about, but restained himself from eavesdropping. He would respect their secrecy.

((Happens. I do too, to be honest.))
Triunis hugged Chii even tighter. Saya. He missed Saya . . .
"Love can be forever or for a short time. Perhaps Saya and I will love each other forever. Perhaps she will meet another and move on."
The monarch sighed. He didn't want to ever be apart from Saya. He knew that she cared for him, and he for her, and he thought that would last forever. But he also knew that it might not.
"Whatever happens, people change. Happiness can be found in everything. You of all people should know this."
He smiled bitterly in spite of himself. When Chii was unhappy, one could tell that the universe was screwed up.

Chii laughed, a bright smile reappearing on her face. She, who found happiness in flowers and cotton candy and all sorts of things, really should've understood that. Or perhaps she did, she just never used in her daily life?
"Thank you." she said sincerely, feeling herself regain her cheery, happy self again. Noticing that Vahn had opened the door for them, she motioned toward him and relucatantly slid out of Truinis' hold. "We've got to get those robes fixed up." she said, glancing down at his tattered clothes.
She slipped inside the store, admiring the fabrics that hung by the door, her face getting brighter by the moment. "How would you like them fixed?" she asked Truinis as the weaver approached them.
