Ebony sighed, but didn't look up. "I just want some closure to this thing."
She shifted a little on her frame, but was glad for the change in subject from Kendall, "I don't know. Just have to go out and look for Tempest and Inferno, but it's very likely that we might just run into them."

"Where were they usually at?" Phoenix asked not minding the subject change at all.

Ebony got up and rolled slowly over to the window to look out. She pointed at the far end of the Strip, "Rico knows where this is at. It's where his former mod shop business was at. It's also around where I used to live."

"We're fine." Dawn said. "How's Daniel?"
"Well, that's just life." Liska rubbed Daniel's hand. "But I was worried to death for you."
"We could go take a drive on the Strip and see if they're still around." Kendall suggested. "But first, how about some brekky?"

Ebony was staring out the window, as if looking at a long-ago life that she had left behind. She wondered if she'll ever pick that life up again or if it'll be lost to her forever.

"He will be alive for a long time." Aron said smiling. "I will be checking on him after breakfast. Liska's now with him."
"I'm a big idiot, aren't I?" Daniel let go of Liska to try to sit up. He checked where the wound was and saw it heavily bandaged. "I guess I gave everone a big scare. Thanks for being there for me."

"It wouldn't hurt to see if they still hang out there," Phoenix said looking at Ebony then at Ricardo.

"I just wonder if they'll remember me," sighed Ebony, sinking on her frame sadly, "Maybe they've already forgotten about me and some other tuner has taken my place. I'll just be a nobody."
Ricardo was still asleep, since he didn't have to worry about his shop.

Kendall was more optimistic. "If they were with you long enough, they'll remember you. Why don't we go for a drive after breakfast?"
"We're relieved for him." Dawn said. Misty nodded before saying "I'm starting reading lessons today, with some 'a th' adults."
"Wow." Aron nodded. "Well, good luck with that."
"I couldn't think of a better way to spend last night or any night than with you." Liska said. "For better or worse."

"I'm not hungry..." said Ebony, not moving from her spot by the window, "and I don't want to go anywhere... except maybe out to the desert to be by myself..."
*****
Delfina had found a nice little clearing after a few minutes of riding. She had laid down a blanket on the grass and rested on top of it, wrapped in a one of the warmest shaws that she could find. She had brought with her a ham sandwich that she had gotten from the kitchen and a bottle of apple juice to tide her over while she was away and of which she'll eat later when she got hungry.
While Spirit was grazing on the thick grass nearby, Delfina lay on her back in the shade of a tree and looking through the branches at the sky above and thinking, There really is nobody around who would understand how I feel. No one to know that I feel so alone and useless. Maybe I'll stay that way forever.

Phoenix poked Ricardo roughly in the side for a moment and turned back to the Viper. "Ebs..."

Kendall glanced over to Ricardo as he awoke.
An eagle soared overhead, looking down at the curious creatures in the clearing.

"I won't be welcomed back..." Ebony intoned as she withdrew further into herself, "They'll see me as a coward and a runaway... It's part of the Code that I must follow... I've exiled myself... I can't return... even if I wanted to... I'll have to find a new territory because that one down there is no longer mine..."
She turned her attention back to the window, watching her future fade away from her.
Ricardo blinked awake, but was very confused. "Huh...? Wha'...?" he asked groggily.
*****
Delfina just closed her eyes and turned onto her side, drawing her legs up.

"Ebs is thinking that some of her old friends aren't going to welcome her back..." Phoenix said quietly to the Stealth. "Something about the code..."

Ricardo blinked for a moment as he took this information in. "The Code is, for us tuners, what dictates our lives. How we should act, how we earn status, our allegiances, and what challenges we should and should not accept. Remember, I lived that life too, but I can't return to it now."
