Most of Ryo's words were simply met with a frail-hearted sigh of recognition. He realized that perhaps it was not his right to try and tell Ryo how to run his life, but he still did not want for him to drive his existence to a waking shame. Something that caught him a little off-guard, though, was that the man was even driven to the idea of reviving him. That... that was not fair, for Fenrir, for the sacrifice, and for the world itself. ''It's possible in most instances, but it's not possible for Fenrir. I don't want to be so blunt, but his soul was destroyed. There's nothing to be done for him. I'm sorry, but he won't be able to come back. And even if he did... there's a saying I've heard, before, that directly relates to what you are thinking of doing. "You can never return home". Even if Fenrir were back, things would never be the same. You loved the person but also the idea. Perhaps, as you are now, you would not be the person he knew. The person he cherished. Although your loss was horrible, we all endure such loss within our life. My father -- my real father -- also lost his soul. I can't save him either. But in his death, he gave me something special. Something to guide me in his stead. I believe Fenrir gave you something like that as well. So honor his death, and find it. Move on, as you are, and that, more than anything, will make him proud." He knew that his words may have sounded cruel, idealistic, or even pessimistic, but they were words he knew very well. Words he often... had to tell himself. ''One thing I'd like you to remember is the fact that Fenrir was a warrior, just like you and I. He accepted his inevitable death from the beginning, and going as far as to sacrifice another living creature, who had not yet met a just fate, just to revive him, would go against everything you tell yourself to believe. That is not justice. That is defying nature. Defying life."

''Never. I didn't revive Hanzo, I was simply given ownership of him. Honestly, I probably would've revived him, but that's because back then, I was selfish and idealistic. I wouldn't have thought twice of sacrificing someone else for Hanzo's sake. But now, I see that the world is different. Every memory you have... every hint of love, compassion, and whatever else... every other human also has these things. Stripping all of this away from another human, who has just as much to live for as anyone else... that is not just. That will never, ever be just." When it became obvious that Ryo was upset by Kleine's words, he stopped for only a moment to breathe. ''I don't want to sound like someone who waits around, watching for hopes to come by just to shoot them down. I just want you to be happy. And if you wait forever for Fenrir to come, all you will have felt in the time alone will have been despair. I can understand the idea of vengeance -- the idea of justice. Just don't let it become you. Once that happens, you can never, ever go back."

Ryo grew a small grin and leaned back in his seat. "Thanks for worrying, but don't bother with it. I have too much to accomplish to let myself get bogged down with just vengeance. After all I told you that I have a mission to complete, didn't I? Its a kind of mission people call a dream, or maybe even a goal, but I don't look at them as such. No sir, what I'm doing here and now goes beyond my imagination, beyond my potential. Yet I will go beyond my fullest potential and pull it into my grasp. I will do it because it is my mission, my purpose. The reason why I was created, as it were, and the reason why I left my home behind me and came all the way out here. Failure will never come to mind. Its either do or doom." Ryo grinned a little wider and stood up from the table. All this talk had jazzed him up. Kiya or no Kiya, it was about time they shouldered on. "Make me a legend and maybe I'll let you in on my genius, eh?"

''A legend... why want to be that?" He asked, sighing as he held his palm before his own eyes, staring at the center as his focus seemed to distort, almost to a point where it was as if he were not there. Staring into nothing, yet being aware of everything around him. It was almost as if he were absent. But his words did not falter. ''I've been there, many times. But it's never fulfilled me. That's what life is, though. Working hard for something... so hard... only to meet disappointment, in the end. That's what love is... honor... justice... nothing will ever bring back what was lost in the beginning. But I will allow you to live your life as you desire. Perhaps, that's what everyone should be entitled to. Whether they succeed and live a full life, or die a miserable and empty death, they did so as a human, and that is what counts, I think." Rambling, was perhaps what he was doing. But he respected Ryo's conviction -- and that led him... to back off. ''I guess you just seem too much like me. It's hard for me to keep myself from burying you in my past experiences... past sadnesses. But the dream... the adventure... they also brought me more happiness than anything I have ever felt, now, in my solitude. Nothing fulfills me anymore. The moment I decided not to live my life... for the sake of living it forever... I think... something died, inside. There's nothing... nothing inside of me, anymore. I miss it... being full. Maybe I just wanted to see it again... through your eyes." He tried to be strong, but he was still a man, regardless of however many wings could sprout from his back, however many skills he could use, or even however many people he could kill. Because of this -- the fact that he was still a human -- he felt emptiness like anyone else. And beyond being a teacher, he was someone who struggled with his nature beyond compare. He just wanted... to be happy... but it seemed that everything had only driven him to "wishing", for more and more, even knowing that it would never come. He wanted to die, sometimes. But those feelings... those emotions... could never be expressed. He wanted to remain strong. After all, what others thought of him was all he had left. ''Maybe... maybe... we should get back... to your training."

(The new weapons training system permits that the first stage is 3 posts, second is 5, third is 7, etc. If you want, we may train in the Castel or someplace similar so that the training is decreased. Overall, it will be 8 posts if we train here, and 3 posts if we train in the castel. Plus, I may learn it too, so overall, for me, it'll be 35 here (all five stages) but 20 there, lol.) ''N-nunchuks...?" He asked, nervously rubbing the top of his head. ''Uhm... I guess I can teach you those. Maybe I can learn them for myself, too, while we're at it. I have the scroll for them... and I know the basics of all weapons, really... just, not really the complex form. Hah, isn't it a little pathetic that one of the highest-ranking weapon specialists knows hardly anything about them? I focus mainly on ninjutsu, really. The specialism is only something I use to enhance my body... my reflexes... and my speed." He pulled out the scroll, and contemplated Ryo a choice. ''We can leave these lands and travel to my father's. There, we will be able to train in solitude, and without disruption. We are not safe here. There are people... always... coming to take my head."

''You are such... an enthusiast." He said, with a small smile as he stood up, and grabbed Ryo, lugging him over his shoulder as blood tightened the connection of both boys. It was almost as if Ryo were being needled down; but there was no injury nor pain. Stepping away from the restaurant, Kleine leaped to the top of the building before nine wings revealed themselves. But their placement was not typical or expected. One at each wrist, one at each ankle, one above each ear, and one mounted as a hairpiece, there were seven in all, before the two sprouted from his back. Altogether, there were nine. And that was evident from the start. Nine white wings, soon guiding Kleine in flight. Soon, taking them away from the people. From the land. And soon, taking them to the home in which the boy had belonged. (Exit to the Altar of the Disciples; Kleine's Room)
