He pauses, again, then finally asks cautiously, "Does this have to do with why Ily decided to punish herself?"

"The later parts. But Aka's fear of helplessness is an accumulation of her expieriences as a child, her training, her Father, and..." He pauses, searching for the right words. "What happened after her Father died..."

He winces a little, remembering something Aka had refused to bring up with him during their first week at the Alcazar. "...Charlie?"

He swallows hard. "Charlie."

"She didn't have her powers at the time?" he asks, unsure how a regular man could hurt a 'goddess,' other than if she were powerless.

"She did. But because her training was ended so abruptly, she had little control over her powers when she was panicking..." he replies.

Tall falls silent, starting to piece together what Charlie might have done. He'd like to think it's not that, but how can he really know without confirmation? Should he ask to see Ily? Even if they agreed to show him, should he really learn of whatever happened without Aka's consent? He's nervous about being taken to Ily though, for she's surely heard the news of his deception by now. Why would she want to share anything again with a treacherous little...
He closed his eyes, banishing the thoughts. "Darad....would you take me to see Ily?"

"If that's what you want, of course," he hops down from the table. "However, it might be a better idea to wait until Aka has her powers back. If I do too much jumping, I might not be able to return if Aka's not at full power."

His nervous look melts away; somehow, it's easier to think of finding out later than currently. The present had enough problems already, and it had been silly to make the request for now. Plus, secretly, Tall had been feeling cowardly about approaching Ily. "Right," he nods in agreement, "that makes sense. We'll finish one thing before starting another."

Darad also nods, then cocks his head to one side. "We should probably stop discussing this now; AKa's coming down the stairs..."

"Right, right, of course," he adds in, before turning around watching the door expectantly.

Aka enters, tossing a small green object to Darad. "Limes are in season."
Darad looks jubilant as he bites into the fruit, peel and all. Aka chuckles.

Tall blinks, but then also stifles a small laugh. "Excited much, Darad?"

He looks slightly embarassed. "Limes are good."
Aka laughs again. "Darad is insistant that limes are the closest flavor in the realm to carian, which is his favorite fruit in the Old Realm."
"Carian and limes are good," he adds, taking the last bite of the lime.

"I'll have to keep that in mind then," he smiles at Darad.
