Mackenzie paused before sighing.

/"Trust me, I know how rare you guys are. She assured him with a shake of her head.

"Last time this hapepned, one such as you were hell to find. I can only imagine it's gotten more difficult."

Forgive, O Lord,
my little jokes on thee...

"...I'll bet." Ilias mumbled.

"And yeah, pretty sure it has." he told her.

"Anyway, I just stopped by to give you the venom." he went on.

"How is the collection of everything else going?" he asked her.

"Because I know that list was... imposing... with the rarity of some of the items there." he reasoned.

"Coupled with the fact that your partner's body isn't even here."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"I know." Mackenzie said.

"And of course, thank you." She added.

"Now that that's procured, it should last until we can do what we need to, thankfully."

"I've got the other tricky living element being worked out soon enough, as well."

"Well, that's good." Ilias responded.

"Again, sorry for my snakes causing a minor ruckus." he apologised, as the Ember Mice were taking in their new surroundings.

"...still can't believe I'm seeing them." he commented.

"Guess they're still surviving." he shrugged.

"They'd be fascinating to study, but... well... I don't want this place burning down."

"Well, talk to the head here. He may be able to help." Mackenzie commented.

"Because I agree. There is almost no content regarding studies of these things, and it would be good to get some." She added.

"However, you DO have to be careful."

Ilias nodded in response.

"All right." he said. "I think I'll do that!" he declared proudly, before pausing.

"...after this is over and done with." he then mumbled.

"Anyway, I'll get out of your hair." he said.

"I get the feeling the mice will be calmer without my presence here."

"That's.... possible, yeah." Mackenzie agreed.

"I'll see you around then. Hopefully I won't be here for much longer though, to be honest." She added with a sigh.

"I plan on clearing out once this is done."

Ilias nodded in response.

"All right." he said.

"...kind of a shame, you're really nice." he commented.

"But I can see why you'd be on your way out after this is done." he told her.

"Do you... travel the world or something? Or have a place to go back to, or what?"

"Oh, I live upstate... this time." Mackenzie answered honestly.

"Up in San Francisco." She added after a moment or two.

"Why? Want my address?" She asked with a chuckle.

Ilias froze for a moment, before shaking his head.

"Th-that wasn't my intention." he assured her.

"I was just wondering how things were for you." he said.

"It has to be strange coming back again and again and having to start a new life." he continued.

"Or stressful, or something."

"It's definitely a headache." Mackenzie commented with a sigh.

"Especially since I remember everything from my previous lives." She added./

"It really is a headache, however it's worth it."

"...wow." Ilias mumbled.

"That's just... wow." he said.

Then, before either of them could say anything more, she felt it.

Clear as day.

Her partner might have been dead, but she wasn't kidding when she said even his body had a presence.

Because it was in the building right now, and she was perfectly and clearly aware of it.

"Ah, there he is." Mackenzie said after a moment or two, not entirely sure what it was that she was to expect now that he was there.

"Meaning all I'm waiting on now, is just a couple of items and then I can finally revive him, and get shit back as it should be." She added before pausing and looking over to Ilias.

"you ok?" She asked, her voice curious.

Ilias was silent for a moment, leaning against the wall.

"Air feels a little... heavier." he said.

"What the hell...?" he asked.

"There HE is?" he asked her.

"Your partner? Isn't he dead?" he inquired further.

"Oh God, this is is BODY'S presence!?" he then exclaimed.

Mackenzie nodded.

"Yeah, it is." she answered.

"When dead, he can't contain it, of course." she then said. "If he was alive, he can actually suppress it, when dead? No chance."

"This shouldn't last for too terribly long, a few days. Just endure it until then. We'll both clear out once we can, as having us both in the same place is .... largely not a good idea for an extended period of time."

"R-right." Ilias responded.

"I'll just... get back to the lab." he told her.

"See you later." he finished. She then responded in kind, and he left.

Meanwhile, the mice were on high alert now.

Not scared. But they were definitely looking around.

"You're ok." Mackenzie said as she made her way to where she had set up for them to stay in.

---

A few days later, Mackenzie made her way into the room where her partner was set up, leaning against the closed door. She just watched him, knowing he'd be waking soon, within the hour.

"I hate you." she muttered, not looking away. She knew that his presence would increase abruptly, to a level that would almost drive people mad within a second, before vanishing just as quickly as he properly revived. She'd made sure to give everyone a heads up on that as well, and those that were particularly susceptible to that kind of presence weren't even in the building today.

The revival took closer to the full hour than she might have expected. 55 minutes, to be precise. However, at that minute, his fingers twitched, and he sat up abruptly, letting out a shriek of ungodly and otherworldly... everything.

His presence rippled outwards for a split second, before it immediately withdrew back into him as he looked around.

"Huh!? Wha!?" he exclaimed, before seeing where he was.

And feeling Mackenzie's presence.

"...all right, where am I...?" he muttered to himself, brushing the short brown hair away from his pale blue eyes.

"Your body was beaten, battered, and just about deep fried." Mackenzie told him bluntly, plainly.

"However, I managed to rez you before your brethren decided to come play, this time." She added.

"Don't crash again, hey? I'd rather not clean up a mess like this again. You almost took ME out too, for that matter, and that would have been even worse."

He narrowed his eyes at her as she said that.

"Well excuse me for not knowing how to control idiot humans and them being in control of mobile battering rams." he growled, before cracking his neck and getting used to his body again.

"...this still feels new." he mumbled.

"Not really used to coming back in the body I just had." he muttered further, before pausing.

"...but it WAS stopped, right?" he asked.

"Like, there's no chance of them deciding to mosey on into this nice little place, yeah?" he asked further, merely seeking clarification now.
