Big Sister, Where art Thou!?

Dominik listened to the songstress speak. As much as he was weary around her, he will not deny the soothing of her voice. When she paused for his name, he responded, “Dominik, Dominik Anatolijs.” Here, he pronounced his last name, ann-uh-toll-ee. He had no idea what prompted him to give his familial name like that, no Jer would ever grant such knowledge to those outside. He grimaced a little, keeping it hidden from the others.

This power, he thought, it unnerved him. Yet she was asking him to ge with her, he thought this would be a unique experience. A chance to examine her and scope out her power. He nodded standing between her and the Keyblade wielder.

((really really REALLY sorry on how late this is. It completely slipped my mind and my muse for this guy was really dry. Again, Really super sorry :{ ))

Terra grinned, and nodded fervently. He was happy to get things underway, but even more so, he was pleased that he'd been paired up with Tsumiko. He enjoyed her company, and he knew her best out of the group, even though they'd only really known one another a short while. The Keyblader hadn't been away from Daybreak Town a terribly long time, but he considered Tsumiko (and Fetch, wherever he'd vanished to,) his closest friends.
In fact, they were really the only friends he'd really ever had. Back in Daybreak Town, he was little more than a raggamuffin who lived alone in a little shack, spending his time beating up punks on the streets. He'd been orphaned at a young age, almost too young to really remember his parents, and too alienated from his own kind to make friends.

"Alright, you're the boss," he joked. "I just work here." With a polite bob of the head, he smiled at the newcomer. "Nice to meet you, Dominik. I'm Terra, this is Tsumiko. Guess we should get names while we're working together, right?" Extending his arm, he regarded the azure-haired woman, adding a short half-bow, as if he were escorting her to a dance. "Lead the way, Tsumi."

He shrugged politely at zdynasty, apologetically. "Can't argue with the girl in charge. It's better we move in even groups anyway, I guess. Someone might spot something the other hadn't noticed. We can cover more ground like that. Besides, Gwain's not looking for trouble, and I'm sure he can do an adequate job at protecting you and Stella, right?" He questioned, raising an eyebrow at the dark-haired sibling.
He hadn't, of course, intended to come off as rude, but there was a competitive streak to Terra that he had difficulty in controlling. There was something rubbing him wrongly about the younger brother, though he wasn't quite sure what it was. Truth be told, it wasn't too unfamiliar with the sensation of two alpha-dog personalities coming to clash with one another...a bristling calm, hiding a very potent storm. But the Keyblade Warrior wasn't in the mood to pick fights, especially in front of Tsumiko, and Gwain hadn't really done anything to spark something...yet.

Though his thoughts were on Darkson at the moment, it ought to have been Anatolijs he'd been keeping a wary eye on. Terra himself may not have noticed just yet, but a very familiar aire was wafting from him...an aire that, in a time that had never happened, to people that no longer truly existed, belonged to a horrible old man with a crooked form, a pitch black heart, and eyes of pure, malicious gold. A man, who had been lost to time, whose absence had changed so much in Terra's fate without knowing it.
He was very much unaware of how closely he was to falling into that same, terrible fate once again...all spurned on by the man standing less than a foot away.

Time, perhaps, had changed. The course of destiny, for some, had been severely altered. But fate always found a way of setting things back into equilibrium, through whatever means. Some things never changed...unless they were made to be changed. Something had set these two together; the same vessel, the same pawns put into place. The blue-haired, pure-hearted, kindly mage. The strong-willed, heavily burdened warrior. The troubled, high-energy blond youth. The plot to give all things way into terrible Darkness.
Time, perhaps, hadn't changed much at all...

[You're fine, Dom. Nobody's in much of a hurry around here.]

Gwain chuckled when Tsu mentioned about the area's army more than likely not enjoying the thoughts of fireballs going up in the air. He gained some more knowledge on what the place was. The castle established a current royalty and the army furthered this. Not only that, but everything was maintained beautifully and a peaceful air was what made up the atmosphere of this world. Gwain logged all of the information in his mind and continued to observe the group. Everyone functioned uniquely and all had their quirks. The odd man who became fixated with Terra's keyblade finally revealed himself as Dominik Anatoljis. The name was definitely foreign, as were all of theirs. Gwain offered his hand to shake Dominik's, if he were the type to do so.

"Gwain Darkson, glad to have you on-board." He said genuinely and with a rather business-like smile. After that, groups were assigned and the man managed to hear the little comment the alien boy, who'd he designate simply as "Z," made when groups were formed. Gwain wondered if Z said that about Dom, who was obviously a suspicious character that suddenly showed up (but then again, they were all equally suspicious for the time being), but would understand if the young boy also meant him. Another soft chuckle was made by Gwain and he turned his to Terra, when the man mentioned that he'd be able to protect Z and Stella. The man nodded and smirked, softly beating a hand against his chest. His chest plate made a small metallic ringing sound as he did.

"Of course. Wouldn't dare let anyone or anything harm those two. Once again, it's up to the boss's orders, but until then, you're stuck with me, Z. Sorry about that." Gwain scratched the back of his head and shrugged. Between all of them, he felt Terra's suspicions of him. Gwain called it a hunch, but he felt as if the guy didn't like him all too much. At the moment, the man didn't have too much of an opinion on Terra and merely smiled at him. He turned his attention towards Tsumiko and gave her a thumbs up.

"We have the groups, the plan, regrouping time and we'll make this the regrouping spot if that's fine with you, Tsumiko. If any of you don't mind or don't have any further questions, I'm going to start looking. Can only imagine how lonely those three are without me." Gwain said with a hearty laugh and turned towards both Z and Stella. He nodded towards the two of them, signaling that they could follow if they wanted to or not. The man started off in a casual stride, softly whistling a tune and making his way out of the still busy townsquare area.

"Alr- Hey Hey Wait come back" zdynasty said "Don't you love it when no one listens to you Stella" zdynasty said "Bark" Stella said zdynasty ran over to Gwain. "Hi" zdynasty said and smiled. zdynasty walked right a little "Your not going to hurt me right?" zdynasty said Stella came running "Bark" "Stella No d-" Stella jumped on zdynasty.
