Eclipse entered the dimly lit room to find Raenef sitting on the floor, staring into space.
"Raenef… what the hell is that smell? Eclipse backed away from the odd green stick Raenef was holding.
"It's incense," Raenef replied, "Don't you think it smells purdy?" Eclipse was thinking
"No, I think a dead rat smells 'purdier' than that thing," but to prevent Raenef's feelings from getting hurt, he replied "Yes Raenef, very nice." Raenef grinned broadly.
Something about the way Raenef smiled made Eclipse feel strange. Eclipse couldn't describe what he was feeling… and this really scared him.
Suddenly, a loud crash on the stairs awoke Eclipse from his trance. He raced towards the sound, closely followed by Raenef.
"What the hell is going on down there?" Eclipse demanded Raenef arrived at Eclipse's shoulder just in time to see Chris emerge from a pile of robes and kitchen utensils. Shortly followed by Erutis.
"It's not what you're thinking..." Stammered Erutis. It was odd, Eclipse thought, for Erutis to stammer. She was normally so strong and upfront. Raenef however was far too preoccupied by the suggestive scene in front of him to think such things.
"Sword practice!" She yelled. "We were doing sword practice when we fell over. Isn't that right Chris?... Chris?" But Chris had gone.
"Hmmm..." Mused Eclipse. "Just try to keep it down in the future alright!" Now it was Erutis' turn to be confused...
"Just try to keep it down in the future?" When was Eclipse ever that forgiving? He must be in a really good mood about something, she thought. And through the billowing curtains, she could hear Raenef singing a happy song.
