"...Yeah?" Connell replied, opening his eyes to look at Karloseth with the same emotionless view as before. Or, at least he tried. He knows full well that emotion is hard to hide and right now it was probably apparent that he was feeling something.
"Well... I wish you wouldn't overdo the emotion thing..." He said, keeping his seat. "Humans are all alike... so overcome with emotion... it interferes with all rational thought."
He paused for a second, as if searching for words. "I flew because I was worried. Something about you isn't right." He added, taking a big energising breath. "You seem troubled. That's all I know.
"Whatever it is, it's not going to help wallowing in... emotion." He said, standing up. "Whatever was stolen, emotion alone won't bring it back. Action must be done."
Finally, he stood up and looked over the horizon. "Also, I wish you wouldn't worry about my actions. I chose to do the things I do."

Tori wandered off to the chemical lab, and, taking the proper safety procedures, went about making the recipe for napalm from memory. When she was done, she looked at it happily, then frowned. She didn't know what to do with it once she'd made it. She laughed out loud, and stared contemplatively at her creation for a while. In the end, she found a container for radioactive material, not knowing what else to put it in, sealed it and labeled it "NAPALM" using a label maker. If she'd written it by hand, the container might well have actually turned into napalm... She then set it aside on a shelf where other experiments had been created, then cleaned up and went back outside, feeling restless. She saw Karloseth, and felt a twinge of sorrow for him.

((O.O Lilith has a lot of catching up to do....))
Lilith shook her head, declining Tokk's offer to meditate and continued walking. Even when everyone else had started rushing at the intruder, she merely glanced toward the incident, taking note of Karloseth's newfound power, and kept walking. It wasn't long before she found herself on the balcony of a room at the top of a building (which happened to be next to where Karloseth, Connell, and Rain soon ended up). She gazed into the distance and silently listened to the conversation nearby.
Things were changing. Even though Lilith wasn't as naturally aware or feeling as say, Tokk or Connell, she could tell that things were changing. There was an overwhelming tension in the air that warned of things to come. Still staring out across the land before her, she pulled her lighter from her pocket and in a single fluid motion, ignited it with one hand and pulled the flame away with the other.
Playing with fire kept her focused and calm. Most didn't understand because they saw fire as nothing more than a tool, something to use, something to fear. Lilith saw the element as it truly was: not a tool, but an ally that required respect. She fed the flame held in her palm and let it fluctuate in size. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Karloseth climb down. She raised and eyebrow and started watching him from the balcony.
