Rose had just opened her mouth to answer Dragon's question about why she had been in the demonic realm, when a hologram appeared, and spoke to Dragon. Rose couldn't make much sense of what the hologram was saying, and then shut her mouth (after realizing she had been standing there with it open). Dragon's comment about facing the demon seemed to have more to do with Dragon than it did with Rose, and for once, blue agreed.

And that's when the gwees were led in.

As they had gotten used to doing, the gwees put blue on speakerthought as soon as they saw Rose. And they were started thought-talking as soon as they entered the room, as well. Nerissa wasn't able to hear blue or the gwees, due to the gwees' lack of understanding about androids.

"-that if you don't at least explain to her what exactly happened she might just destroy..." blue had been speaking in Rose's mind only, and slowed to a sudden halt when she realized she could be heard.

"You are well, Rose! We were worried!" said Jaa quickly, over blue.
"Yes, we all were. Your ANTIE-D friend is still trying to calm Taran down." added Tuli, still on top of part of what blue was saying. blue stopped just about where Tuli said 'friend'.

"Dragon! You can hear me? Oh thank goodness! Oh Dragon, I am so sorry for the house and everything. It is all our fault. Well, not really. It was mostly Luman's fault, what with him-" started blue in a ramble.

"Would you stop for a moment!?" exclaimed Rose. "Just one moment, all right?" Rose asked, and must have gotten a silent response, as she continued. "Tuli, Jaa. Are the others all right, then?" Rose asked.

"Yes, they're good." replied Tuli.
"They're more worried about you. ANTIE-D was saying something about you being held accountable for some things..." Jaa trailed off, and looked at Dragon. "But... this water dragon can be trusted."
"You'd trust any water Dragon." added Tuli.
"Yes. Yes, I would. There aren't many left, you know." Jaa paused. "And I suppose you'd trust any fire dragon?"
"No." responded Tuli. "I wouldn't trust a fire dragon unless they earned my trust first."

For a few minutes, the gwees just stared at each other intently, possibly conversing only with each other? and then they smiled and looked back at Rose and Dragon. blue, however, was not going to let the pause go unused.

"Dragon. We need to go to Lia Alit Iil-tia. It's my grandfather's home planet, I think. The world of the fairies. They can heal me." blue paused then, though. Dragon's statements about the demon in her when blue had had no voice reminded her... "Dragon? The demon you see is the quarter demon I am, at full strength. One dimensional. A part of the whole. I- the fox neko, angel, and fairy part, have been split off, somehow. I can feel myself as less whole, too. Missing my demon heritage." blue paused, and even Rose sighed audibly. Rose had known that, too. But Dragon hadn't wanted to hear her out at all. "Don't be mad at the demon in me. Luman did this, somehow. But this is all me."

Rose looked mad and sad at the same time, as the voice in her head laid all her problems and weaknesses out for all to see like that. But Rose had one important thing to add, as well.

"Not just Luman, blue. Not just our uncle. He wasn't powerful enough." Rose sighed, and nodded to herself, and blue was silent. "His mother helped him. Our grandmother."
