The lone gaunt figure in the overcoat wandered through the hallways of pipes and steams. It was unbearably hot and he was wearing what was by all accounts winter clothing. But he kept it on. Just so he could feel something to distract him from the desire. Somehow he found himself by the reactor. He found himself staring right at it, almost enthralled as he watched it whine and whirl. The grenades in his rifle and pouch. Just move... Though he didn't exactly reach for his weapons he still looked strange staring at such a vulnerable thing is such a intense way.

"What are you doing here servant?" A soft voice easily cuts through Francis's thoughts. It is clearly from behind him. It is a master, a human. A woman to be specific. She has this calmness on her tone of voice. And there was a hint of cold air despite the hot reactor working it's wonders. "Nobody is allowed to enter here, Command Room detected someone and dispatched me to investigate."

He didn't turn around. "Took the wrong turn I suppose." Francis's voice was rough and almost gravel like. Like he hadn't drank anything for days. His long unkept hair bristled in the flowing winds. "What did you think I was going to do here?"

"Wrong turn you say? You don't have a lot of convinction in your tone of voice. Well, no matter." The shrine maiden said as she glanced at Francis with a stoic calm tone of voice. What was his intention in this place? "Who knows? It is why I am asking you.'

"Then what about you, what do you fight for nameless servant?" The woman asked as she kept her eyes on him directly. Patiently listening to him. Still, he was right. She does have an obligation to look at what she kills to know what she did. To deny would be disrepecting the one she killed.

I used it to hide my true nature and my mission to ensure that everyone realizes the same truth as me, and to spread it to everything so that maybe our true nature can one day be revealed. Or maybe I'm just doing it for the hell of it. Heh, either way it's what keeps me killing and liking it."

After a little while of searching around, eventually Theano found the Burial Agent and made her way over to her teacher. With a soft nod of her head and a warm smile. She spoke. "Teacher. I hope you've been well... I've been meaning to talk to you for a little bit but-- Well. I happened to be quite busy since our escapade." @[Serpon]Teno/Penth/Nico/Azu

Ciel had a notepad in hand, at the moment she was checking something before she then heard a familiar voice and a smile would appear on her face. The Burial Agent would turn around and face Theano, listening to what the young Executor in training had to say. "I have been doing well, just finishing up with the paperwork, can't believe I am almost done with it all, neither can the association. Come, let us sit down and talk." said Ciel as she then nodded towards a bench nearby before making her way to it. "So, what is on your mind?" @Andle | Cam, Ib, Rach

"Ah. I suppose they didn't expect you to use your secret technique-- asking for help and spare pens. What I find the most impressive is the fact you've only gone trough five. That's the real achievement." Theano chuckled, sitting next to her Teacher before turning to her. She looked a little different. New Hairstyle as well as a modified mozetta that seemed to oddly resemble a scarf "Many things as one would guess. A lot has happened in the recent months. More than I'm comfortable with in many ways but life goes on. Truthfully, I'm taking a break from the goings on within the singularity... My body is in a better shape than ever however the surgery took it's toll on me, if not physically then mentally." Theano noted for a few long moments before rising her hand up into the air and... Levitating one of her rings off her finger and around the air. "Still getting used to this I may add." With that she chuckles and slips the finger back onto her finger. "I know I may be stepping out of line to ask this however I have a request once again. I wish to become a fully fledged executioner. While I'm aware that the time within the real world- our proper timeline hadn't been the biggest... A lot longer had passed in the singularity. At least in my eyes. Having spent so much time there, I believe I may be ready to fulfil the duties that you've trained me to undertake." With that she paused for a long moment... "That and I wish to help you out more going forward."

A smirk would appear on Ciel face as she heard Fee statement. "They probably thought I was some kind of meat head, only good in combat, not realizing I have all sorts of other skills. My only regret is that I couldn't see their faces when all the paper work got through. Would have taken a picture of it if I could." said Ciel in a slightly proud tone. The Burial Agent then took a moment to scan Fee, seeing the changes in her look. "Seems you have changed your style again. Any reason to why?" asked Ciel in a curious tone. She then listened as the young girl talked about herself, mostly taking a break from the singularity and how the surgery took a toll on her. "Everyone needs to rest from time to time. Best to sometimes take some time off and come back at full power then going in weaken and unable to fully contribute. It's also good to hear that your body is in the best shape. I heard that your sash played a part in that." said Ciel as she then attempted to see if she could spot it on the Amazon descendant. Ciel watched as Fee played around with the small mystic code that held a few spells that the Burial Agent had placed in it. "Well I hope that it has helped your out on your adventures and that it continues to do so." said Ciel as she then watch the ring be placed back on Fee finger. The Burial Agent then listened as her student made a request. She would go silent for a moment, thinking it all over. This wasn't a simple request to grant and was a huge under taking. "Physical and combat wise, you are there. But being an Executor also means enforcing the will of the Lord. Their is a huge mental aspect to it as well, oaths and vows to take." said Ciel as she spoke in a serious tone. Though she was happy to hear that Fee wanted to help her out. @Andle | Cam, Ib, Rach

"Oh. Why I changed my style?" With that Theano took a moment to tug at her Mozetta. Slowly but surely- it shape begun to change and reshape into that of the Sash of Ares. "This would be the reason. You are correct, it helped me greatly in terms of strength of the body- in fact I believe it is the reason the... Uh. Divine blood within me awakened. At the same time. however I wanted a look that is easier to maintain when out in active duty. While my previous looks were suiting to my fashion sense, the longer hair got in the way. Hence the hair bun and pins. As for the mozetta? I tried to make the sash be my church uniform instead however the shape never quite fit right. While it does have minor shapeshifting properties it cannot actively conjure up material from nothing... And I'm not a fan of exposing my skin like Penthesilea." "Yes, I am quite aware of that fact. Truthfully, for a long time I wasn't too certain if this was the way I wanted to head towards. What I wanted to commit to. I think mentally I still lingered on my sister and what she would do for far too long despite everything. Fortunately, I've gotten the final push I needed recently to take on this path for better or for worse. I'm ready to take the oaths and commit to being an arrow for the church to use in the enforcement of God's will. Or... at least? I'm ready to see that commitment through. Otherwise, I don't think I'll ever be fully ready without taking a leap forth." @[Serpon]Teno/Penth/Nico/Azu (edited)

The blue hair girl listened as Fee began to explain everything that was going on. She watched as the Sash appeared, able to change it's apperance. Ciel would raise an eyebrow, showing that she was impressed before taking a more calm look. "Divine Blood? Some in the Church would say that is heretical speak, unbecoming of an Executor. Then again Executors go around using magecraft and breaking rules but use the argument of since we are enforcing the Lord's will, it is okay. Make sure not to mention such things to others in the Church. Think of it like how a heroic spirit thinks of their True Name, never revealing it unless they are forced to. I on the other hand am glad you have trace back to your roots. I must say, having such a type of clothing sounds very nice and useful. As for Penthesilea, some say that the Amazon's in those days fought topless. Though I feel that is more of a few writers or people twisting history to... 'spice' things up." "Final push, I haven't read the mission report of the last mission you went on. Did something major happen? And yes, their are a lot of Oaths. If you think you are ready, we can arrange a time and place for you to take them." said Ciel as she nodded her head.

"Personally I see the one god as the only true deity. At the same time however I do believe that the old 'gods' have their place and as do their descendants. Just because they aren't the one god nor comparable to him in his brilliance doesn't mean they are by some means not part of his plan. That is however my view of things and one I wouldn't share lest I didn't trust you, Teacher. I have 'heretical' blood in me, yes. However that same blood helps protect the world. As such it must be part of God's plan is it not?" She posed the question before finally chuckling at the comment of fighting topless. "Frankly, that sounds somewhat unhealthy. A single strike would fell them after all." ". . . I've met my sister. Thats about all. As one might expect, being a counter guardian had rendered her to be insane and incapable of reasoning with. Frankly, it's quite a depressing predicament she had found herself in. It was also a wake up call for me.

"A very humble approach. The old gods do have their place, I did directly witness the powers of Ares once. The Church itself isn't uncorruptable, they can get things wrong despite following the Lord way. That is why the Burial Agency is also around, to remove those who have become too corrupted in the Church. While our main mission is to defeat Dead Apostles, we have a secondary task of rooting out heresy within and I don't see you as a Heresy. I think you walk a noble and righteous path, that is more then can be said for many in the Church." said Ciel approving Fee statement. The young girl was showing more and more promise but more then that, she was achieving her potential. "I think the idea is that their bodies is so strong, they don't need armor or that the armor gets in the way and slows them down. I believe other warriors have also fought fully nude. Perhaps it also has a shock value as well but I would never suggest it." Ciel expression would become more serious. "Your sister was a formidable warrior. Her being a heroic spirit is trouble if she opposes us.

"I don't believe the church is incorruptible either. Quite the opposite in fact. There is a difference in purity of purpose and actual reality. However after seeing what has happened within the singulairty... Hah. Well..." With that her gaze grew a bit colder. "I know it is the right path forward. If not the church, than the magi will dictate the world order. That is something that can never be allowed to occur. A balance should always be maintained for the good of all. Besides, heresy is something one can never see themselves- diversion form the righteous path often comes at a point you're most convinced of your own righteousness." ". . . Yes, you are correct.

Though tell me, do you plan on staying in Chaldea or will you branch out and eventually go on your own path?" asked Ciel in a curious tone. The subject about her sister was a sore one. But Ciel needed to make sure that the younger sister knew what she was in for.

I don't want to see her in that state any more than I have to." With that she simply sighed before shaking her head. "Chaldea is temporary. Eventually it will be closed down once the threat to humanity is over. Once that happens, I will do my best to eliminate other threats to humanity just like you, Teacher. That is all. I do not have a grand goal of any kind with my life. Quite the opposite, I simply intend to get by as things come- without the need to overthink things.

"Would be awkward then if I summoned her. But I understand where you are coming from." said Ciel. In a way, Vee was like a Dead Apostle, someone who kept coming back from the dead to haunt the living. It wasn't her intent, everything that Vee had done was for the good of humanity but she had hurt her sister in the process of doing so. It was not Ciel place to pass judgement here. "I see, you will need to choose an order to dedicate yourself to. You will most likely have superiors who give you orders, even I cannot fully escape from that." said Ciel as she remembered Narbareck. She hoped that Fee would never have to deal with her.

With that Theano let out a sigh of relief. Despite everything she had been a little concerned considering her experiences with the happy go lucky idol. This wouldn't be the first time one of her comrades fell for her after all. "I see. That is certainly not a bad use of her talents though I will say this, Asteria gathers both good and bad attention. I wouldn't dismiss Chaldeas reluctance to utilise her talents as merely wasting them. She is a hazard, one of not only public opinion but also potentially to herself. People don't need supernatural charm like hers to have madmen be willing to do anything for them." @[Serpon]Teno/Penth/Nico/Azu

"Their is also a certain Burial Agent that annoys me. Imagine if Idol had an evil twin sister. I am hoping to use Idol as a counter to her when she gets in my way. But that is enough about her. I assume you didn't come here to talk about her. Speaking of other people, how is Penthesilea doing? Last I heard, you were having some issues with her." said Ciel as she decided to change the subject a bit. @Andle | Cam, Ib, Rach

"Issues? With Penthesilea?" Theano rose an eyebrow. As far as she knew there was nothing going on between the two of them. "We get along just fine I feel. She helped me a great deal truthfully. I need to spend more time with her however. I suppose same could be said for just about all my..." Theano paused for a moment. "Comrades."

"I remember a while ago, you said you were having issues with your servants code of honour and so forth, not willing to do what needed to be done." said Ciel as the conversation did take place a while ago but she still remembered it. "Though I am glad to hear that she has been helping you. Though the relationship between you two must be strange, your her master and yet she is your Queen." said Ciel as she was curious about how that worked, especially now that Fee was a full on Amazon. Ciel would then raise an eyebrow. Fee had paused to careful pick her word. She didn't say friends, perhaps she was still keeping her distance. "I see. Do you not consider anyone in Chaldea your friends?" @Andle | Cam, Ib, Rach

". . . That was mostly a problem with Robin. He had quit my service since. As for Penthesilea, it is an odd dynamic. It is based primarily on trust but while I deeply respect her, I know that one day I may be forced to make her do something she despises for the sake of humanity. She is my ancestor, not my queen. She is a queen of the amazons however that title has ceased to exist many centuries ago. I am an amazon, but even by her own logic the fact I wield the sash would make me the current queen." She noted before pausing... "Granted I'd rather not be called that. Tapping into its true power exhausts me. Its not made for my hands despite all I've gone trough to get it." As the second question fell however, Theano grew more serious. "Barring yourself and maybe one other person-- No. People here do not care much for me and that is for the best. I'd much rather not have one of them hesitate to sacrifice me for the greater good of humanity should it be necessary and vice versa. Its a cruel world we live in but unfortunately a sad reality. Besides. There are many more interesting characters in Chaldea than me to spend time with. I think I'm quite a dry conversation partner after all."

"I think being a Queen of the Amazons has to do more then just having a sash. I think Penthesilea would be insulted if she heard you say that. Though I am glad that you are getting along with her. As for powers not being made for your hands, that is something we sometimes need to bear, a price we need to pay to protect others and to do the Lord will. I guess that is what makes humanity now a days special, the ability to use a power they are not meant to use." said Ciel as she thought about her own Idea Bloods. Just like Fee, it was something not meant for her to use and yet Ciel still made use of it. "I understand. By keeping people at a distance, its easier to stay focus on the task. But it's important to live once in a while and to understand what is to be human. To find happiness and have someone to fight for." @Andle | Cam, Ib, Rach

"She might be insulted but that's about the only consistent I could find in legends regarding the queen's of amazons. Granted I don't think I'd be considered an adult in their society yet mostly due to lack of experience in warfare." Theano paused for a few long moments before humming. "Truthfully Ciel, I don't think I'm all that allowed to experience that myself until my duties in Chaldea are done. While I'd love go have more friends here, I do not wish to lose another person I care about in line of duty for Chaldea. Perhaps its foolish but that's simply how it is."

"Well I mean you could always ask her. You have a direct source to your history which has mostly been lost, best to take advantage of it while you still can. She may one day disappear in battle. Besides, I heard he who must not be named has appeared in Chaldea." said Ciel as she referencing a certain green hair demigod. "Their is a saying that goes, later never comes." @Andle | Cam, Ib, Rach

". . . Perhaps it never will. You are right on that front teacher but I am fine with that. For better or for worse, I can deal with that distance so long as I have one or two people I can consider close. I don't need any more. Besides--" With that she paused to think before seemingly being unsure about her next words. "Ever since acquiring the sash some things have changed slightly. The previous enjoyment I gotten out of combat has only become much more pronounced. Truthfully, not allowing these urges to overpower my sense of reasoning is a battle on its own. Perhaps its something in my blood or the direct effect of the Military Sash itself. However it would explain why my sister was so foolish. Until I tame that desire more, it may be for the best to keep my distance." @[Serpon]Teno/Penth/Nico/Azu
