Levels of exhaustion were hard to read on Blye, he never visually showed how tired he was. After the first day, using his powers more than he had before, Blye had slept for a long time. Almost a whole day, though naturally the Time user cheated his sleep pattern by going back and making it last ten minutes to make sure he didn't waste precious time. For now, no-one knew how Blye's magic worked, it was incomprehensible to most how he did things, so they were all in blind belief when Blye told them he wasn't strained from using his magic so frequently. There wasn't time to rest, not when Emeri was relentless in fixing things on her own. It was like an unofficial competition, something the pair were used to from their childhood. Who could fix the most, and gain more popularity from their race, now subjects. Both had chosen a different area to work on. Emeri was sticking to the cities and towns, fixing the building up for accommodations for those without homes. Blye focused on the smaller villages and farms. After all, the one thing that would effect them all was hunger, and after the war, crops were all but void from Sohul right now. The King visited many farmers, most knew who he was, after word spread about the recent coronation, others needed to be informed. But after Blye offered his help in restoring their lands, all of them practically bowed at Blye's feet. Living matter was hard to work on, and Blye would never use his speed-time magic on a living being. But, plants were at the line of things he would and would not alter, so he happily helped in growing the crops. Farmers watched as the seeds Blye had only just helped them sow and plant suddenly rose, sprouting grain and corn almost immediately.
Blye had spent a good long while travelling around. He glanced to one of his clocks, tucked into his pocket, smiling a little. In total, he'd spend as many hours working with the farmers as there was in a week. But, that was time only applicable to Blye. Really, he'd spent a day at most, going to one farm, then back in time to another. So spending so many hours of his powerful magic to get all of this done made the King a little dizzy as he stood, slowly making his way through Baransu. By the time he'd reached the tower though, the dizzy feeling in his head was gone, enough for Blye to confidently navigate the stairs without making a fool of himself. The tower was a temporary base for the King and Queen. Due to it's past users, being the corrupt Council, Blye predicted that the public wouldn't warm up to him and Emeri so quickly if they stayed here. But, for now it worked. Angels were also permitted to live here for now, seeing as Blye still needed to offer his assistance in restoring Kaku's kingdom. But that would take a lot of power, and the Angel King had patiently understood that Blye needed a little time to fix up Sohul first. Blye blinked his eyes a little, lacking a week of sleep was hard going, not that Blye was willing to openly complain to anyone. He simply began pinching the bridge of his nose a little, sighing to himself as he navigated the level of the tower that was being used for living quarters. Blye stopped when he saw the head of green hair, smiling a little to Emeri. "Busy week.. erm, I mean, day?" Blye asked politely.

Emeri had worked on rebuilding what she could, helping the workers to life the heavy objects with her powers, it cut a lot of time in half, and already many results were being shown. She was able to quickly refresh any of the workers with quick and fresh water as well, so many were working double time. It felt powerful knowing she was the cause of this, and already people had homes to sleep in again, and a few possessions thought lost returned. Family heirlooms also found and returned, so that earnt her more respect as she sought out the home owners. She wouldn't lie, while the use of her magic never exhausted her, using it so long at such large amounts no longer causing strain, the attempt to be so nice all the time was. More then once had she wanted to kill someone there and then to let out frustrations. But it was something she was willing to endure, knowing the end result would be more then worth it. She had heard of the things Blye had done, and no doubt was using his own powers to complete that, but she didn't care for now, while she knew he would do more, Emeri had already gotten far, and knew even with the silent competition to come out on top, they were both still in par. No amount of time magic was going to fuck things up for her again. She was going to stay out helping for longer, but many, not knowing the strength and control she had over her magic, sent her to rest, which in itself wasn't a bad thing, less work for her under want from her subjects, but it was short lived when she heard Blye, glad they were alone so she didn't have to keep quiet about her hatred for him right now. "Oh please, I know your magic Blye, it wouldn't surprise me if you had gone to the past to stop all this before it begun, then again, you know how well that turns out." Emeri gave him a blank look before continuing. "And it has been busy, spent the day rebuilding, already about fifteen of the old residents have homes again, and another thirty by the end of today if people keep to schedule, who knew so many would be willing to help." It did surprise her really, she was sure people were going to relish in the war finally being over and rest a few days. But no, most who were able began to help where they could. Emeri left it at that, not wishing to begin any idle chatter with Blye. And while she would have to act as if he was forgiven soon, for now, she would make him 'earn it.'

Blye hadn't checked in with Nick and the others. After the coronation, his friends had gone off to help families, especially back in Minato. Blye was happy to leave them to it, he'd been with the group long enough to trust them to do what they could, even help Emeri if she was around. Blye's magic couldn't really work to co-operate with others, he had to use it alone, which was the one downfall of his magic. He could share his gifts with others by using for them, but he could never use it with them. Blye watched Emeri, smiling to her, but cautiously. She'd already made it clear her dislike for him. Blye wanted to change that, but it couldn't be done quickly. He couldn't even tell what she'd done today by looking at the past, only recalling what others in the streets spoke about. Blye's face dropped when Emeri's harsh words came out once more, a part of him wanted to lash out back. He'd suffered too, losing his family, everything about his past, just like Emeri had. But, he knew how it was his fault, and it was understandable for Emeri to hate him for it, not even compare him to her pain. Blye sighed, "One day is my limit now. If I ever go back, it will only be by a day. I'm.. not making anymore mistakes Emeri." Blye explained, moving one hand into his pocket, brushing it over one of his watches, feeling the clock tick against his fingers, distracting him a little. Blye nodded as Emeri explained her work for him, the smile returning. "The agriculture system of Sohul should be back and running now. So no one will be going hungry any time soon." Blye explained in return, holding back a yawn, but stretching out his arms a little, "I think they've been waiting to help since the war began. Waiting for their chance, the chance we gave them. Civilisation can be a truly incredible thing, when they're given hope, and work as a team." Blye replied. He chuckled a little, "Honestly, I was too nervous when first facing the real world to even visit a city. But, they're a lot like the Clan was... a unit that works together, towards a common goal that not all of them are aware of, but still all work together towards it. When I finally got to see a city like Baransu, it was inspiring." Blye told, pausing for a moment. "What... urm, what have you been doing the past four years?"

Emeri just ignored everything he said at first, all so typical of Blye, that she didn't really need to hear what he was saying. Knowing already. She knew it was a good thing the agricultural system was back up and running, food was becoming scarce, but there was enough to survive for now, well for Emeri anyways, she did have her own home, and despite her looks and personality, she did run a successful own farm back there, so she didn't need to worry. And everyone working together was good for her, less work really, and it meant she could trust in them later on when her plans came into play, hard workers, that was something she wouldn't judge. Emeri's gaze hardened at the mention of the clan, though it was true, these people were nothing like them, they were replaceable, just pawns to be used, the Clan was her home, her family, and they were not the same. But she said nothing, she would have her chance later on. The question of what she had been doing didn't surprise her, but the answer should have been obvious, it was likely the same as him. "With no home to go back to I had to start again. Travelled for a bit, trained, made my powers stronger, learnt more, I wanted to assure myself that the next time something stupid like that you did happened, I could stop it, trained some more. Later joined the Nobles to learn what they could do, hoping to rise in the ranks until I could join them, make changes as the clan always wanted. Then they scattered, and here I am." Emeri showed no emotion, nor changed her story, it was set out for months before she executed it, to every last detail if someone asked. How she trained, where she went, what she did. All of it, she created an entire past that she came from, as her own was lost, and remembered every footstep of agony [[ AGONNNYYYY ]] she endured to get here.

Life around here did seem so much more different than the Clan had been. That was how Blye had thought to begin with. But, then things seemed to bring up memories. As Blye travelled, during a time when everyone was preparing for war, even then he could see the determination to work together in their hearts. Strangers working as one to build walls or defences. The clan had been constantly expanding, extra land being made for those who were born. And those alive, built the new homes without complaint, they did it because it was for family. The Clan seemed like a completely separate race from Humans, they had their own little world. Being without them, it felt alienating. Blye often wondered if he'd ever feel the same sort of belonging here as he would back home. He looked to Emeri, wondering if she felt the same. Then he focused on listening, Blye's eyes not moving from Emeri's. He couldn't check to see if she was telling the truth, nothing was readable on her face, it never had been. Emeri was such a mystery, a mystery Blye loved to try and solve, if he could. His eyes dropped, blinking slowly from the exhaustion, no, he wouldn't even try to read Emeri. Slowly nodding, Blye accepted the explanation, it sounded fair, Emeri did what she'd been taught to do, survive, train herself and prepare for the future. Blye had been taught the same, though he'd done the same not just because it was all he knew, but because Blye considered the only way to escape his past was to run head first at the future. "I couldn't exactly predict how I was going to reach power. I can only see the future's of others, not my own. So, I spent the last few years doing somewhat the same as you. Training, and making friends." Blye replied, smiling a little, "You probably saw them at the coronation, my friend Nick and the others. I've been sticking by them through the war, learning from the best of Humanity." Blye explained. His smile grew a little, "And relations with the races above us are going well too. The Demon King is in recovery, but is improving. I have no doubt he'll want to create good relations with us once awake. Kakushin is already pledged as our ally." Blye stated, clicking his finger. "I'll have to restore his kingdom soon, after resting. There's also another matter Emeri. I know it's been a day... for you anyway, but we need to also think about rules. Specifically to stop any further conflicts or racism towards any race."

Emeri most certainly hoped Rurushu would join the alliance... Though with that Bastard King of a Husband already joined, there was no doubt. She had plans for the Demon, big plans, and total trust and devotion to his friendship was required to get through to him. "If Kakushin is on our side, then so will Rurushu, I haven't seen two so far different but so close together before." Maybe once that was a lie, way back when their past existed, Emeri considered Blye a friend, despite their differences, and the two worked together so well, but now it was nothing but hatred and separation and pain she felt for him. Now the talk on ruled made Emeri think, she didn't really have a plan much for that, more so going to show it through actions not to go against them again... Not yet anyways, until she was in full control and doing what she needed, but that didn't mean she never had plans. "We organise it that Angels, Demons and Humans work together, no more hiding out in Aura or Dranar, but they have a life down here too. Conflict was made as Humans felt as if they were being controlled by the races, it caused anger and hate, if we make It so that all races are equal in ways of living, then it will change the views of many. As for the Humans, we need to set out punishment for if they attack the other kind, nothing terrible, few days in jail, service towards the other race, and we assure ourselves that measures will be taken if the other races do the same." It was simple really, make it that none were more powerful then the other, and give punishment if any tried anything. Not difficult to follow, nor break if one really tries.

Differences. Blye couldn't help but give Emeri a long look then, perhaps a pained smile. How close they'd once been, how close Blye had secretly been as well. All changed because of his impulsive actions, need to do the 'right' thing. Blye sighed, dropping his gaze. "That was what I thought, when I managed to convince the Angel King to help us." Blye admitted. It seemed Emeri had some ideas, similar to Blye's. But creating order would be hard, for two rulers so young, some might not abide to them. Blye put a hand to his chin. "There's other things as well. I'm thinking, as boring as it might sound, we should set up trade." Blye suggested. "Between Angels and Demons, we could trade land, food, or whatever they want. And in return, Humans had access to their lands as well, as well as any resources they're willing to spare. It would give people a positive outlook on Angels and Demons, when they receiving something physical from the sky races, other than 'belief' or whatever the races used to ask for." Blye added, smiling a little. "Punishment sounds fair, I have a few ideas of some good officers for that kind of role, protecting the people, making sure these rules are kept." Blye suggested, before yawning a little more. This conversation would have to end soon, not just because Blye's hands were sweating immensely, but because he needed rest.

Emeri scoffed a little before rolling her eyes, she wanted this conversation to end, and knew it was easier now to just agree with him, then to argue. Besides, it may help his plans, and she could still have what she needed to begin things. "Trade sounds fair, and we may find out a few things we didn't before." Emeri would find something to use if need be she was sure that having access to the sky realms meant more knowledge on how to defeat them, as well as use them to her advantage... Yes, the trade would work, she was almost annoyed that she didn't think of it herself. "I have a few people in mind myself, and I know many of the clans are on board to help out, such a diverse amount of people will surely keep the peace. They have some persuasive beliefs and customs most." And some were just a thorn in her side that couldn't be removed, but they would be dealt with soon enough. "If you don't mind, I'm going to go rest before going back out and helping with the building once more, as well as letting the others in waiting know they have shelter here at Baransu until they have a home once more." Emeri waited not for a reply before turning around and heading back to her room to begin working out what needed doing first, and how to accomplish those feats. It was a long road to go down, but she waited this long, a few months more will be of no issue.
