"DAMN IT ALL, that's what I'm saying to AVOID!" Ash half-screamed, slamming his fist down onto the roof, sounding near-ready to just cry.

"...but I can't stop you from keeping to this decision." he then said.

"I'm sorry my reaction has caused you to decide to bottle up the information you receive." he told her.

His tone was now defeated.

He felt like shit.

He'd reacted in haste and irritation, and now Vicki was going to keep this to herself.

For all he knew, this would drive her to be a shut-in, slowly going insane.

And it would all be his fault. He'd tried to apologise, he'd tried to right this, but there was no changing this, it seemed.

Vicki was silent for a moment before sighing.

"What are you getting so emotional about?" She asked her rbother.

"Because, seriously. I don't get it. I just won't speak up to people if I know things regarding them." She continued. "Your... ire and whatnot is the usual. I just don't want to deal with that." She continued with a heavy sigh.

"It's not like I'm going to save a life, really. I know the pas, not the future." She added

Ash gritted his teeth slightly, and turned around.

"...so you'll bottle up this knowledge and keep it to yourself until something goes wrong." he said.

"All because I was the final straw." he added.

Vicki had expected Ash to react better than he did. He hadn't. And that had done it.

There was no telling how the future would have been had he reacted properly... and now there was no way TO know. He'd reacted with ire, and that had caused her to make the decision to internalise all this.

And for that, he felt like garbage.

"Sorry I brought this up again."

"No worries." Vicki told him. with a light shrug.

"It's just a thing that happened." She continued. "Lessons were learned. So be it. Anyway, Sorry to stress you out so much last night."

"I never meant to, I didn't know that was information I shouldn't know." She added.

"But since I know now that there can be issues... well, honestly? You didn't completely lose your shit, and I don't want to risk someone else doing just that."

"...and I'm sorry that I've caused you to take this road of intenalisation." Ash responded.

"I'll just go." he told her.

"Enjoy the rain, or... well. whatever it is you enjoy about it." he said.

"Looks like it'll storm soon." he finished, before starting to go down the hatch again.

Vicki just sighed.

"I'm not going to try and convince you of my stance, or that you aren't the issue." she said as he walked off.

"However, I will say this. No. You are not the issue. If anything, you just... brought it to light that, honestly? I don't want to risk my life, I don't want to speak up about something I know that will get me in trouble." She told him.

"Think what you want, Ash, but... I just don't want to get in trouble for knowing shit. I've already been trashed at school because I knew the answers to a midterm, and was accused for cheating. As I said, it's NOT you. You just ... helped me realise that this... really..." She just sighed, shaking her head.

"Whatever, I'm probably just wasting my breath."

Before Ash could say anything, they heard thunder in the far distance.

"...yeah, storm." he said.

"Anyway, good luck with dealing with all the knowledge you'll be gaining." he told her.

"You'll probably need it..." he sighed.

"Just don't get hit by lightning or something."

"Even if I did, I've got electric mana, I'll be good." Vicki commented.

"And thanks. yeah. I will probably need it. I get way more information that I want to know, or know what to deal with. I actually started to keep journals to help catalogue and organise it all" she added after a few seconds.

"I'll catch ya later."

"Uh-huh." Ash said.

"And right, forgot you have electric. Never mind." he then said.

He then descended back down and closed the hatch, making his way back downstairs again.

"Storm on the way." he told Rowena.

"... meaning chances are Vicki will end up sleeping up on the roof tonight." Rowena commented with a sigh.

"I'll have to make sure she has things to help with her mana if she opts to use it." she added.

"Anyway, brownies?" She asked with a chuckle as she motionined to the kitchen.

"They're in the container on the able."

"Sure." Ash said in response.

"And yeah, good chance she'll be sleeping on the roof." he agreed.

"I heard the thunder, and the rain and wind are picking up a little more." he said further.

"Hope she'll be okay."

"Vicki? she'll be fine. She does this with almost every storm." Rowena assured him.

"She adores the rain, if you couldn't guess." She added with a laugh.

"Plus, Vincent and I have taken to making sure she'll be ok in regards to mana and the like. Her natural temperature generally will be enough to help with fighting off any bugs or whatever."

"How are you?" he asked.

"Things are ... all right." Rowena answered. "Got a lot of work to do, and the deadline is coming up."

"It's something that does need to be done, and I can do it, but it's always a stressor when it happens."

She made her way to through the forest, her navigation proving to be more effective than anyone might expect. This was something no one saw coming.

As she stepped out in front of the large, gorgeous, and extreme building that was looming ahead of her, a smirk on her face. Her blonde hair was clipped back, but was also quite a mess from the wind, the trees and branches that were trying to attack it, and everything.

She stepped up to the door and buzzed.

"Alice Remmington, new hunter registration." She said once told to state her name and business.

The one on the other end was silent as they heard that.

"...I..." he stammered.

"Wait, what?" he asked.

"How did you...? You just found your way here, yeah?" he asked her.

"I did." Alice confirmed.

"...how!?" was the exclamation she received.

"I did my research and found my way." The young adult answered.

"Gonna let me in to talk with the boss?" She asked, her voice curious.

"Or is your surprise to be taken as not letting me in?"

"Ah, I-" the one on the other end stammered for a moment.

"One moment." they said.

She then heard some muttering and mumbling, before hearing Ash's voice.

"Alice!?" he exclaimed.

"Holy crap, come in!" he said, as the doors in front of her started to open slowly.

"You've got some explaining to do."

Once the door was open, Alice made her way in calmly.

"Oh?" She asked.

"What?" She asked once inside, her voice inquisitive.

"Also, hey there."

"Yeah, hey." Ash greeted her when she stepped inside.

"And... this place is... generally not a place you can get to unless... at the very minimum, you have coordinates." he told her.

"Yet.... here you are." he said.

"So she's actually your sister?" the door sentry asked.

"Yeah, it's her. No mistake." Ash responded.

"But let's ask ANOTHER question." he then said to Alice. "WHY are you here?"

"Oh, to go through the registration to become a hunter." Alice answered calmly.

"Not sure why you're as surprised as you are." She cotninued, knowing that the one that had actually opened the door likely couldn't identify the surprise. Ash looked like he normally did, perfectly chill and calm.

"I've been grilling you and Ashleigh on the Guild life for about two years now."
