Listen to my voice, Look into my eyes, feel my presence weigh on you

I smell your fear and I taste your blood

Give yourself up now Red head, Don't want to make the poor child see a friend on the floor dying I doubt he'll take that well

But you were never a good listener just like his father so come at me with your blades and magic

You'll only see darkness by the end of it

A little time before he fought Ralliah, The sun was beginning to set with Leywin knocking the door of apartment of The young one's child, when he entered he saw that the place looked somewhat dirty. Half done dishes, The Floor is a bit dirty and the lights look like they were left on despite it being day, he had a few things to say to some people you know just in case... "That isn't an option Leywin you have to get out of there alive or he'll just kill you in the afterlife haha.." finding the will to joke despite the conditions he's put on himself he walks to her room. He sees the two on the bed sleeping with Chris holding onto Rem with a gentle although desperate grip with Rem just sleeping peacefully there, Leywin just ruffles this hair unsure whether to wake her up or just let them chill there for the time being. He decides that although he'd love to give them his (Hopefully not) last goodbye he just decides to exit the roo- "Hey" Well never mind that seems like one is up and who would've guessed it was Chris, she yawns and fixes her hair a bit with her asking, "Why'd you show up" "Oh well it was nothing I just ah...did I interrupt you two's sleep?" Chris did a little laugh as she just said, "You interrupted someone's sleep definitely not mine, I sensed you walk in when you were by the door so really I was just waiting for you to walk in" Leywin's nerves clam down seeing that he wasn't just interrupting someone's sleep and thanks whoever the lords above are that Rem was a deep sleeper.

The two are in the kitchen with Chris making coffee as she asks Leywin about the kids in The Safehouse to which Leywin happily says, "Well they're doing quite well, everyone's managed to settle in nicely and well the Corruption is still at a large threat which is...obvious but I've been doing some scouting and the crystals look like they're either spreading less or have been getting cut down and well doing a little fancy energy reading on some areas..-" Leywin uses his Glyph magic to form the shape of Xay with him having an almost proud look with Chris having a confused but also thankful look due to hearing about the Corruptions slowed progression with him finishing his sentence, "The Angel has been busy" "But wasn't Xay supposed to be in the hospital due to the injuries he's sustained?" "Well Lucky him, His people have a good regeneration factor" Chris makes a "Ahh" sound with him dispelling the little Xay sculpture as he finally decides to get serious and explain why he's here, "Chris I came here to say goodbye" "Oh really? Well bye then" Chris puts away her coffee cup after finishing it as she begins to work on washing the dishes the sound of running water filling the already uncomfortable silence as she just focuses on the dishes, "..You know what I mean" Leywin elaborates and Chris just lowers the water pressure so she can hear him properly

"I'm gonna go take out Ralliah Chris, honestly building a rebellion doesn't seem like the way to go especially with these days they just feel slower and slower with the Corruption only doubling in speed, I need to do something before its too late-" "And what if you die? We lose someone whose stronger than most, whose able to teach the youngins more than what the school, Which is DESTROYED, can. Leywin I love the confidence but I honestly think we just need to keep doing what we've been since this started" Leywin pinched his nose as he sighs, "Standing here training I just don't think will be enough Chris Especially since that woman out there has your son going through the most trying to get better, I have to do this!" "And what if that same son loses that mental battle and has kill you?! What then!?" Chris turns as a plate accidentally flies out of her hand and toward Leywin but the man's instincts being refined to impressive heights catches it and sets it down with his serious look never wavering, "Trust me, as much I and I mean this wholeheartedly want to train these kids to go out there, I'd rather them stay put for now. I'd rather deal with the issue now before it gets worse" "But by the time it gets worse you'll have them to help you out!" "And by the time it gets worse your son will have been corrupted" Chris pauses, she just ruffles her hair and thinks on what Leywin is saying to her she can only see outcomes that end up in tragedy and well she doesn't want to experience such again. She clasps her hands as she lowers her head and blinks away any tears brimming, "How do you know you'll even make it out alive?" Haha..., "I'm THE Leywin Grander, If I'm gonna die it's cause the fates wanted me to" Leywin's smirk shows his teeth as Chris shares her own though shaky and uncertain it falls apart and she rubs her forehead giving it some thought and although she's still uncertain about the outcomes she envisioned she puts on a trusted smile and says to him with a bit of relief, "Alright THE Leywin Grander, Make it back alive" "You know I will" Leywin after saying his goodbye along with giving Chris some hope that this fight won't lead to his demise he sets off and decides to go pay a visit to the hospital.
