Legion didn't need these mental words to understand but it helped quell the upheaval of his thousand and more internal voices. Purpose differed but intent remained, purity of type and its refinement, there went his simpler nature breaking down to its Alchemical base. They had shown but a fraction of a moment, these things were so delicate....though mended their were parts of him now very tired even as others surged. His eyes closing as he sipped the soup one spoonful at a time, She had gotten much better at cooking.
"Where do we begin today?" He offered now, for lingering on this only left him feeling hallow suddenly, alchemical bonding was a marriage that did not break for once bonded a thing became irreversible for now it was something different then it had been. This left longing in its place and they hadn't even gotten so far in their recognition of a relationship...being human prospectively speaking was troublesome. Of course this line of thinking did not exactly hold perfect truth either. This was not simple chemical Alchemy. He was also a beast and things took simpler courses to feed their desires and this was a desire that had only just arisen in a frame that had previously encouraged simple analytical thought. Desire was a new twist of the equation. "Book binding or tool salvage? If we start with the tools I/we can build a proper den for our birds." Who were finally calming down despite Legion's earlier display and presently savage voice and had started pecking at the ground foraging in their own way having discovered their was little threat to be concerned with yet.

*She stopped stroking her companion, tilting her head slightly as if in thought deciding what should be done first.*" we could start the book binding lessons, but these tools......must be important as well and I am thinking more so, if you wish to claim this and pursue our idea so I might have more freedom without constraints as far as time on, being away. They will want to see and visit here to confirm their idea, that they should encourage us to spending more time in the hopes of a bonded mating*she paused a moment.*"willing or.......unwilling."*she wrinkled her nose at those words.* Why do they make me not like this whole idea? as if life would end if I WAS able to refuse.*she suddenly stood as if irritable pacing back and forth and just as suddenly stopped looking at him her chin lifting in stubbornness. I think we should for the moment concentrate on rebuilding your city for as long as we can before I must again return. I can learn book binding in between the repairs and stalking and doing what needs to be done.and law must be fixed.and if we find more as you and law.this can be yours and theirs to be safe from my kind.*she nodded satisfied then at her choices unknowing, moments before her companion and even been able to share anything with Legion. she was thinking only of him and any like him and law and keeping them safe with the same artifacts she hid now in the kings hidden passages.*

"Repairs will happen with time. If it is more important to establish this as a functioning city then We will need the Law machine fully functional to assist so I/we do not burn more energy then this present form can produce." Their was no comment he/they could make as far as her restrictions or inevitable marriage proposals should this idea fail to please the council of elders waiting back at her home. "Building improved irrigation, providing basic household instruments, improving the tools of more common trade, improved variety of edible vegetation, increasing the availability of common fruits for the peasantry and expansion of livestock....these are things we can bring your city when we return even if all we focus on is building this place back into fully functional library and town. Bookbinding and the tools of that trade could be offered as a potential bait to the church as well to encourage their interest in a union of our respective households, meaning we could suggest more time for you to be in my company to negotiate for this skill, time that could be spent then learning the skill here?" He was trying only to lay out a plan that suited their present needs. "If you ask for time to create a treaty to quell the discord among the populace from my/our absence, a treaty that guaranteed the freedom of the people here in respect to fear of being conquered by a foreign kingdom by use of force on a heir to the throne, we may be able to buy enough time to make this a thriving civilization." Politics were so tiresome even in this age.
He looked at his bowl now realizing he had finished the entire bowl of soup in the course of thought. Lack of hunger did not apparently mean lack of appetite. He just learned an interesting fact about his own container.

*She smiled as he shared his thoughts AGAIN, as equal and not as that used for something. agreeing by a simple nodding instead of shaking her head.* "Yes that should work. and more things we must find like.......... law? to discourage their thoughts of war for not agreeing to your/my way of thinking? and find someone... We can hope........ who enjoys making the spin of circles that go no where, but confuse, that they call politics?."* She knew here thoughts jumped in time compared to where they were, but her thoughts in that moment were to establish this perhaps heaven, then she and Legion could look for answers to their own questions, without being forced to pause to handle such annoying squabbles that in the end, really made no sense except, control of others and denying it in the same breath?.....Then after all was said and done........maybe explore that star before her that was endless and could explode on her, absorbing her essence before she had a tiny inkling of who and what he was, under so many layers of others that was part of him. she shook her head then thinking she was a idiot if she thought she get more then a grain of understanding and thinking the history lost was more in reach or reality then this man not man who stood before her in the light of day in the shifting shadows that that should not be possible so she was taught. and here she was agreeing and assuming the US before even a mating, she hoped he understood. She was repulsed by him or even dreaded the thought of being his said mate but worried perhaps she was or would be a horrible mate even for him....maybe just maybe she was broken? she wrinkled her nose at such a thought then. no they were broken.*
*The companion did not snicker at this point or make himself known as he again listened to her thoughts but in silence as he himself learned she found this disturbing and felt her loss at this last refuge to feel comfort in a place to hide. knowing he have to now tread lightly before he decided to make her aware and finish the binding forever in twined in all choices. He would give more time even if those of his elk argued it. The goddess said nothing letting him again be aware the fates in the end decided such timing even in this.*

"The law machine can deal with law and politics...It is what they do best." The only problem would be the churches take on the great machine but their was likely to be very little they could do to stop or hinder such a thing were it made whole again. Their was so much to be completed however that it sounded overwhelming in volume. Legion pushed himself up now offering a gloved hand to his friend, ward and now prospected mate. Interesting that he should even have such a thing as friends or a mate really. "Lets focus on tools and a den for the foul for the morning. We can look for the law machines blue prints this evening?"
So much building to be done, he could expend a great deal of power and bring all of it to existence in an instant but the response would be an equal measure against him of drain and the possible assimilation of surrounding life into his consciousness. Better to work by hand for the time being and he could have as many of these as he needed. All other concerns were left for the time when his mind would quite against their needs and be exposed to the hanging inquiry of what if your not compatible with her? Your a kind of monster, and she a thing of frail flesh and bone. He could prioritize his concerns only while she was awake to keep him focused, to give him purpose perhaps?

*She nodded.* I had hope so, but unlike you, know nothing of law machine even if I find I like him? *she still really had no grasp of a machine....she thought she had with legions very logical explanations until they discovered the law machine. He was nothing at all like legion had described to her, or for that matter acted as a machine should.He himself seemed to adjust and simply except the law machines explanation......... it did not come so simply excepting to her. He must have a soul so the complexity kicked in to her logic which wanted and demanded, a how this happened. law was no monster and nor was Legion but she demanded a explanation better then the one he gave her, or a simple I do not know. the answer he did give did not sit well with her so her mind simply refuses the answer. She shook off such deep thoughts mumbling.while taking the hand he offered and stood*" You are rubbing off on me with thoughts and contemplation Legion. Let us hope the next time ,or we must appear at a court what ever, it does not effect my responses for the both of us."*she shuttered then at such a thought. being pulled and put in a cell for questioning was not a pleasant thought and sent a tiny shiver perhaps of fear of the unknowing sense she only knew those that been taken away were never seen again by her.*
*She suddenly straighten shrugging off such thoughts*tools.yes tool.....teach me."*she suddenly smiled and laughed.*" this way they imprison me I can escape and teach everyone tools. * she suddenly lightly tugged on his arm standing on toes placing a kiss on his chin. for it was the only thing she barely managed to reach and laughed suddenlylight of heart.*" We can concur anything together."

"Their is to much to think on at times." Legion agreed as he let her pull him now to the tool and he took hold of these and started sorting them into piles, hand tools for small tasks, spades, shears, hand forks, row markers, hammers, screw drivers, wrenches, larger tools like shovels, rakes, post hole digger, garden hoe...some of these tools even had counterparts in the present time but a rake made of stiff slats held nothing against an aluminum built model. Comparing a manufactured hand broom to the hand tied versions used now, made of sticks and brush, would only make the manufactured one seem needlessly fancy....but as far as durability well it was all in the method of binding the straw really with aluminum bands instead of just leather or woven fabric. He went about the tediously long process of explaining the unfamiliar tools to her and how to clean them all free of rust and sharpen the blades where needed. He spoke on how the results of the tools could benefit the people and how they could reproduce similar tools with the current level of technical skill. Probably the most innovative thing in the lot would be the hand held staple gun with its springs and funny little staples. The push mower might come in close second, the fact they had one here had to be a museum piece in Legion's mind and they had sent it out to be cleaned professionally for display just before whatever cataclysm destroyed this place, Takara need not know such a thing but then explaining ridding lawn mower could take all day and then some and they wouldn't even be able to bring it back as useful!

*She only nodded at his words at this point finding it unnecessary to use words when the simple action of a nod said as much. She watched as he grouped them all on where they should be, then came to understanding when he explained what each one did and why, he had put them in their own groupings of need and use.......the cleaning and sharpening of each on where needed, she knew would take practice, but seeing as how most would need it.she figured she should be very good at it when it was done. Certain pieces she thought amazing on what she thought, suddenly become a simple task..such as cutting the grass with blades on wheels, instead of the swinging and twisting motion now used to do such a chore so, not many had grass. it was a luxury that had no time to maintain unless, you owned live stock for it to graze upon so made the task non existent. so each tool now had a meaning.and made perfect sense to her on it's creation. She was very pleased with this and thought would make so many task in her home far far easier then it had been. The sudden thought of the people having time to laugh and enjoy ones family sitting or dancing brought a smile of hope for her people.* "once my people see the use in much of this.........they will welcome you with a smile of gratitude. These I will use my female innocence and forgetfulness to bring to the people, then suddenly recall to show the legion of the cross..women's chores, so of coarse I will be forgiven on this."

"I/We think even if you showed them these tools they would approve, this would make harvests easier and that would mean more food for everyone including the church, and things for cleaning would make their lives easier as well. None of this could be used in a way that would negatively impact the Cross. Only the items with motors or mindless complexity...These things still require labor so it should be fine." Though she had a point she would be forgiven easily by the cross for her innocence on this matter. They would only reprimand her for taking it to the people first....as long as it wasn't something....Wait! His enthusiasm to tell her this thought made him drop all pretense of the word I though he still meant himself all together. "We can build wagons to haul everything...more then we need even and if you can help capture some horses...we can give the wagons and carts to the traders after everything is delivered because we have no need to take them back!" This would give wheels to more of the trades men in her city and they would not need permission to acquire one from the church, nor a need to request to gather the materials which is dangerous because of it being so easy to become lost outside the city.

*she tilted her head listening her eyes aglow with the idea's he presented and thought there was no way the cross could disagree with any of this unless of coarse they wanted to argue the endless danger......but to her way of thinking that was pointless sense she was one in less then a few who desired to leave the safety of the cross and explore.while finding ways to make things far easier in her then it was.and IF she was very lucky stumble across a way to stop the thing that just ate peoples bones and left them in agony. She had such dreams. and her list grew as did her dreams becoming as endless as the ocean Legion had shown her and enjoyed so much.*"I wish this place had or would appear by a ocean legion. I liked that the best of all the places you and I have been too sense you saved me that day."
*she fell silent again going back to the task he given them both as a smile of those memories took shape on her face and remained enjoying the work given working by her friend who was meaning so many things to her with the more time they spent in their search for their own answers to different questions.*

By the Ocean....That could be arranged if the city was left to shift far enough. "We can make this a city by the sea. We will need to build a port then for ships to help trade." He wondered what her kingdom would think of ocean life...they could be a marvel to witness and a great source of protein and natural oils for the poor. His thoughts spun in the new possibilities for the moment and he realized he was feeling tired suddenly. He was working on the city without thought, repairing the wires and pipes completely, understanding where would be the best place to create a central city water pump system. Wondering how much of the city should use electricity and how he could create a means to generate it....She had unintentionally send his thoughts rampant and he was working himself to quickly in the open light of day. "We have gotten ahead of our self. Lets go inside for a bit and get some water? I/we have been building in the shadow of the city with our thoughts, the central library should keep its electrical power...but a generator is needed. The small pumps are now repaired as well...I/we meant to do this by hand but...." He was actually excited?

*She stopped what she was doing when he mentioned going inside and glanced at him frowning*Legion you do like the idea so much you forgot yourself and did repairs with your magic..and in the day!*She tried to look stern but failed recalling he said they could have this place by the ocean..by letting it shift. Shifting made her uncomfortable but not as frightened as it used to as long as he was there watching it. yes watching it, she figured that much out not sure how he did it and doubted she ever understand if she asked and he made the effort to explain.*
*She put down the trowel she been working on to getting the rust moved, so he could again guide her in sharpening it's point to dig with more ease. she stepped closer trying to see under the hood, laying a her hand on his chest a moment then shaking her head.*"Water and shower for you with no disagreeing. you feel not right as you should. You used to much magic today. come my turn to pretend to take care of you. amuse me and let me do this." *she turned away then heading back to the library and the cooling darkness of the shade it offered, just realizing she herself was a bit over warm.*

The shade of their tree having shifted long ago he had no complaints or comments to being told to shower, the Armor might be necessary but that did not mean he did not sweat! Though he might not suffer for doing so. He rose and fallowed her in the dirt on his cloak sinking into the fabric like dust settles into water. "My/Our magic bears no limits but for retention of form when doing so." He offered this like it helped but he still fallowed without argument.
"We should look for maps later to see what the rest of this city once looked like. It would probably please the Law Machine to reconstruct at least some of it to a similar likeness." His movements may have been smooth but they were sluggish for him. Like the body did not comply to the will of the holder. Not an uncommon occurrence if he over used his abilities.
The law machine itself slept on in its suspended state as if nothing at all had changed and really in its perspective nothing had yet.

*she nodded heading up the stairs to where they for now called home? yes a home for them as thoughts ran threw that and yet herd his words. She never replied until they were inside. Going to the little side table where she assumed he had put a pitcher of water she poured them each a large glass of water. she handed it to him.*"As always you think ahead. Raising the glass to him as if to make the point. As far as your magic not being endless.I may not be able to use it.....but think I understand a little.........Legion if keeping this form, I like very much causes the retention, then try shifting much if you need to. if I am only about.....If I find it to frightening then I will tell you? can we try that?*she bit her lip trying to understand and wanting to help where she could without being a huge burden to anyone especially him. If it he could....She knew it make things go faster for him without having to worry about scaring her to death or her companion maybe kicking him? She no clue of any of it but wanted to learn but at the same time make things easier for them as her people.*

"For the time we can shift, but the light drains us far to quickly, it hastens the drain because it taxes the flesh. A flaw I/we bear since the confinement only, We/I believe it to be a lingering shackle to control our destructive capacity." He drank the water now sinking against the wall and down onto the carpet. "Time will balance the scales." He did not mind being bound in a human shape, the fluctuation could be very bothersome in the middle of certain tasks after all. He needed his ear cuffs recast most likely but their was no one who bore the skill necessary at the moment but himself and no workshop yet to work in.
"We are not use to being in a hurry to see results. Patience yields much in alchemy."
