OOC: Sorry guys, I had a huge freaking post typed, and like the idiot I was, I did not copy it just incase my comp screwed up as it does. The post basically stated Exanderous'es thoughts about Serenity's avoidance, his look at the stone, before the tunnel collapsed and etc. My apology if this is too short. I also elaborated on the friendships each and everyone had to EXX. He recalled a few memories and realized that the friends he is with now is the few of his closest.

Exanderous, now fully recovered from the quake, brushed himself off and scanned his surroundings. He saw Serenity unconscionce on the ground, and his companions huddled around her. Panic was his first reaction, but reason and his experience curbed the emotion and granted him the ability to approach them while calm and collected.
<font color=red>Is she alright? Did she get hurt?</font>
Christian could read the worry in his eyes, and just smiled assuringly and replied.
<font color=blue>She took quite the bump on the head, but she seems to be ok. She should come around any minute now. And before you even ask, yes I have the orb. I see your head was thick enough to survive the quake!</font>
<font color=red>Seeing that you are standing with me, one could say the same about yourself friend.</font>
<font color=blue>Tooshay!</font>
Exanderous smirked as Christian let out a small laugh. The mood was becoming less hectic and serious. As Christian turned his attention to the now awakening Serenity, Exanderous caught a glimpse of the stone once more. He felt it was oddly familiar. Way too familiar. Yet when he tried to recollect his thoughts about it, he failed. His head throbbed from the very essence of the orb, and once it was removed from sight, the ache disappeared and with it, the will to transgress through memories of its existence.
But with the passing of those thoughts, came an elaboration and collection of an entirely new set of questions and worry. His cold, blue eyes Exanderous lifted his lest hand and reached towards his back. He started to trace a familiar scar, the very scar that marked the wound Serenity plunged the dagger into reluctantly to stop his other..."traits" from blooming into the material world. They had been through so much together it was hard for him to accept that she would not trust him with the information. That might not have been the case, but in his scattered thoughts, that is how he perceived it. Why was she being so distant with her friends? His thoughts were shaken by a disconcerting look from Serenity who was now on her feet absorbing the plans being tossed about the room. He gave her a kind, reassuring smile, but anyone who was skilled in empathy could see the sad look of worry in his blue, deep eyes.
Reality was suddenly endowed upon him as Christian tossed him a wry grin. His comment about removing bits of planet made Exanderous chuckle to himself.
<font color=red>You jest Christian. It honors me.</font>
The other plans were assembled as Christian pierced the stone with the rock. Exanderous realized that though he could blast anything to hell and back, his ability to withstand the current might be an effort that he might struggle with.
<font color=red> Just give me the word, and I will oblige with your hole. However, I might need the aid of one of the dragons to help me fight the current. I can withstand it yes, swim most definitely, but swimming against it is not something wise after emitting the strength to blow a whole in a wall. The current might prove a bit of a challenge. With the aid of a dragon friend, I am sure it will be fine.</font>
He awaited a response with his fists clinched eager and willing to complete this task. He secretly was worried for Medea as well. He wondered if she was alright, he had quite the bad feeling, but he set it aside ready for his task.
