"I will hold you to that." The Moon Knight imbedded Clarent in the ground, leaning on it, before it, and his henshin, faded. He found a wall to sit against, before collapsing against it. Likely a roof access, he mused to himself. He was tired. So tired. "Effects of the taint? Possibly..." He closed one eye, and exhaled. "Daylight as well. Metallia laughing..."

He mumbled something incoherent, and waited, before pulling out his cell phone, and texting Taurus.

To: Aaliyah

From: Peter Emile

Body: Tell Pisces his daughter is indisposed for a short while. I am negotiating with the Pluto Knight to get her back. And that I am sorry I could not do more.

Inari groaned a bit as she came out of the portal at least on ehr feet. "I.. do not like that realm.. at all." She said, looking around to see who was about still, and spotted Peter. Vaguely she wondered why he was even still there.

Seeing his prey, the man forced himself to his feet, exhaling, before he called on the power of the Moon Knight again, growling as he did so, the feeling sluggish, draining. He needed sleep, needed darkness. A few steps, and he exploded in motion, leaping off the roof, before rolling, and landing next to her. He let the Henshin go, energy draining away, before his hand clamped on her wrist like a steel band. "Come with me. I am taking responsibility for you in lieu of your father." He looked half dead, barely able to stand. "We need to get somewhere... Out of the sunlight... It is sapping my strength." He was unsteady as he began pulling her, gently, but insistently. "I have a sanctuary some small distance from here... Can you drive?"

Inari looked at him. "O-oh.. our one of my father's allies?" She asked curiously, rather confused with it but nodded. "I can.." She said, letting him pull her. She was mostly confused as it was, but he was oen of her father's allies.. and some part of her mind thought that made some bit of sense?When they would get into His car, she looked at him. "So.. where am I even going then?"

"I would describe the relationship I have with your father as being... Loosely Affiliated. We have a far different connection, you and I." He gestured to her to take the drivers door after they eventually got to his car. "I am the Knight of the Moon. You are... Neptune..." He collapsed into the passengers, and closed his eyes, pulling up the GPS to his home with a few errant commands. "I... am weakened... By... Sunlight..." He was curling into his robe, having pulled on his seatbelt. "Wake me when we... Actually, if you are hungry, find somewhere we can drive through... Then we can return to my sanctuary..."

He opened one dim malachite eye. "Once I can... Recover... I will escort you home..."

:shook her head. "I ate before I came." She couldn't help but yawn as she drove, following the GPS despite her tired state. She parked quite well though, helping Peter get inside. "Umm.. would it be alright if I slept upon your couch tonight? mostly because my car is back there, and I really need to fall asleep right now.." She said, looking more nervous and embarassed to even ask really.

"My bed is through that door." He idly waved a hand towards it, shedding his robe, and shirt, before pulling his gloves off, and tossing them at the foot of his bed. "I will sleep on the couch. I am hardier than you." He smiled softly to her, despite his emptiness. "Once it becomes darker, I will return you home. And see about getting that car to you..." He stifled his own yawn, before falling onto his couch, and groaned.

Inari slowly nodded, and locked the door before going and curling on on PEter's bed, after having taken only her shirt and pants off. As Inari typically slept in underwear. [Uhh.. thread done? Or.. what shoudl happen now?]
