The Sleeper Awakens

"Terror, despair, doubt, any number of negative emotions can cause a person to collapse in on themselves. To try and cover their bleeding heart with callous layers of skin so they stop feeling. Because they have nobody by their side to support them, and everyone has been lost. Also after you got Coma'd and Shadin attacked her from his own problems, she decided that going to hell and learning from a Demon was the best course of action to take. So, no surprise she's kind of screw-loose in the head. But you just gotta put that screw back, not punch it in the face for being loose"

Ulv would then nod, and smile at Iori.
"Ehh, when you got my powerset, you've got to be level-headed and in control of yourself, or you end up losing control and savaging your wife in an act that takes her a long time to recover mentally from" Ulv was not subtle about the bit about young Shadin and the fact that Midori was not doing this for a laugh. "Sometimes people need to be supported through the dark parts of their life and then told about the wrongness of it after they have recovered.

Ulv would think about Shadin, and Kin. The two were close to Midori, equal in their feelings. Though Kin had magnitude on his side, Shadin also had one other thing. "She recovered from Shadin with help. Specifically my help, of a sort. But with the catastrophe that it was, she never got help recovering from Kin, and so it ripped at her hear and her mind. Hell didn't help things either" Ulv then followed Iori, seeing her look towards the training grounds was an interesting thing, maybe she wanted to have a bit of thing later. But, that was definitely for later. Right now, well. That was a family matter she had to attend to, one that Ulv wasn't really invited to. THe machine triangulating Midori's position would get a touch from Ulv, and then after crackling, show her location with pinpoint accuracy.

"I put some reiatsu on her last time I met her, to help track her down if I ever needed to. But, I don't think I am invited to this reunion. She really doesn't like me and I can't help her, so me being there will probably just make matters worse"

"She hates me - though she'll deny it - because I represent what she wants to be. My empathic abilities shit on her meagre mental defences, and I can feel her subconscious heart no matter how well she hides it. Also, beat her up and broke her mind and told her she is anathema to everything I stand for. So you know, not great"

Ulv then turned to the door to take Iori to Midori, and paused for a moment, when she asked what connected them.
"Long time ago, I met a woman who looked like she had lost everything. So I took her into my house and gave her some comfort in her darkest hours. Which seemed to help, though I did not stay around to find out. I was run ragged by my duties and everyone I cared about met a bad end. So the connection was most tenuous. But she was a friend, and so when she returned from Hell, I went to see her. I could not help her, so I came to you, and that's why I brought you around. Because I am stubborn and wilful and don't accept defeat until all options are exhausted"

Ulv would then offer a hand, wind billow around her and preparing to create the tunnel in which she would run, a glorious blue dress covering the rest of her clothes, which fluttered about, and looked as if it was crafted out of the very air itself.

"My problems. Who's did you think you were solving? I have a friend who is lost and I can't help them myself, so I am getting someone who might be able to help her. And if this doesn't work then I can rest assured knowing that I did everything I could to help her" Ulv was not one to hide things when she cared about the subject, and spoke with an abject bluntness that was rare and somewhat shocking. Midori was her problem, and Iori was her solution, that was really all there was to this thing.

"And I don't let it bother me to much. My frustrations about the local supermarket using a new tannoy system are boiling somewhere not that deep. When your life is fury and anger, you tend to get used to being constantly pissed off with everything in the world" Ulv explained, before taking off towards Midori. It was a move of extreme speed, while not as fast as the likes of Shadin, it certainly topped quite a few other people in the world. Using her Storm Regalia, Ulv was a fast woman when it came to the whole running thing.
