Nail stood up in the door frame, unsure if he should intervene, plus, he wass unsure too if he even should be there, he felt slightly guily over the fact that Mergo took so much damage when he could have helped in some kind of way.so he wouldn't be hospitalized. Quickly Nail noticed how Mergo was looking at him, and then he finally entered.
"Took you a while" Gaia said with a light sigh
"I'll go take a walk, so you two can speak and all that." She followed up, as she left the room walking past Nail.
Minutes past as Nail stood in silence, not sure how should he start a conversation in this situation? With a sorry? A "How are you feeling" or maybe a "good job"? Time passed as they kept quiet
"What have you been doing?" Mergo asked, quietly laying on the bed.
Nail sighed, relieved that Mergo was the one who spoke first.
"Job" Nail answered calmly as he sat on the same chair as Gaia was sitting on.
"How do you feel" Nail asked, as heate one of the apple pieces Gaia cut.
"Shitty, but glad at the same time, I was able to finish what you asked me to do" said Mergo as he coughed lightly.
"You will keep your promise, right?"
Mergo asked also grabbing a piece of fruit.
"Well, you almost died, if I didn't keep my promise your sister would probbably kill me." Nail answered as he got more comfy in the chair.
"Have you decided what weapon do you want to learn? I mean we still have to order the indicated weapon with Nicholas." Nail said as he ate calmly.
"A saber." Mergo said almost without thinking, honestly he had it mind already since the cave, and even though there are a lot of types of sabers, he would find the indicated one in the future.
Nail was surprised, in a good way, even though his weapon wasn't really a type of saber, but back in the past, he used to use sabers, but after a time, he just assumed that he was better using a khopesh rather than a saber, this so because it fitted much better his fighting style.
-Southeast Continent. "The Paradise"-
On a magnificent Opera, different couples left the building, many of them with amazed faces, some others speechless, but what astonished the most was that none of thouse hundreds of people hand a single complaint over the show they have just seen.
Among them. An Old man, walked side by side to his wife, even though they indeed have liked the spectacle, their face showed a true and deep sadness.
From the corner of the street, Korra showed up wearing a red-blood dress, behind her, two gentlemen which had on their wrist, the logo of the hares.
Korra and her two men followed the elderly couple from afar, the exact distance to not be noticed, and at the same time close enough to see clearly the different streets they took.
After 20 minutes of walking, the couple entered inside a flat closing the door behind them, a few seconds after, Korra came out seemingly of the shadows as she watched the big flat.
"Why are we following an elderly couple, Leader?" One of the men asked carelessly bringing out a cigarette as the second ''guard'' brought out a lighter.
Korra didn't answer them, she didn't have to, but in her mind it was possible to understand her thoughts behind this "Operation" that kid which they saved, inside his tore up pants had an identification, luckily, thanks to it, the name of the kid was "Kuvon Maddle" the heir of the Maddle family. The Kuon family was a succesful family which it's main focus was the media, covering the news in the different TV channels and Newspapers, being in a very close relationship to the Organization known as "The Opera of the Narrators" which almost to nothing was certain about them, but there were rumours.
Korra saw this as a great opportunity to get information and maybe, getting new allies for the future. With a light yawn they walked up and knocked the door.
Back in the hospital. Mergo and Nail sat as they kept talking about weapons, fun facts stories.. talking about anything that would help to kill time. From the doorframe Gaia looked at his younger brother, in a certain way, he seemed happier than months ago, she was somewhat happy that her younger brother was more talkative, but at the same time, thoughts about their parent came up, why was he like that, he was apathetic, but he claimed he loved them, Gaia couldn't hold it in and sighed.
"You know, your dad used to be a part of the hares" Nail said with a nostalgic tone of voice as he looked towards the ceiling.
At the same time, in the front door of the Kuon's family flat, the door swang open as the Old man looked towards Korra a bit skeptic of the situation
"Uh, may I help you, young miss?" Mr. Kuon asked with a light tone of voice as he brushed his moustache.
"It's not about you helping me, it's more about me helping YOU out. If you dont mind, we could talk about it inside." Korra added as she crossed her arms and waited for the old man's answer.
Mr. Kuon was certainly suspicious of the young lady and her two "bodyguards" but he felt too curious, ending up with him opening the door.
