Aurora's lips suddenly curled into a smile, "Very well! A fun time is a good time, yes? But we do have a sparring room at headquarters, where you are closer to a medical crew." Aurora laughed, shaking her head, "Ah men... I will never fully understand the silliness of the testosterone-driven mind. So... raise your hand if you need medical attention." she chuckled, as a flying machine landed nearby. Flying machine being the best term to describe the transport, given it bared a resemblance to a helicopter, but had no rotors... and bared the resemblance of a plane, but was not made for speed. It flew with some semi-integrated propulsion system that only made a light whirling sound, even though it could clearly carry at least twenty men comfortably. Aurora began to walk to this machine, her Elites following her.

Aleksei looked at the flying machine with interest but then glanced at Gauron it seems that most of the wounds he had sustained had already closed up and healed but that was impossible there was no way that the wounds he had given Gauron had healed already the only wound still present was the stab wound he had given Gauron to the stomach he shook off the thoughts as pain pulsed through the cut on his chest the pain was getting worse now that his adrenaline had stopped pumping it was like the pain from the entire fight was crashing down on him but he hid it well as he followed Aurora and the Elites "Coming Gauron?" Aleksei asked glancing back as he picked his suit jacket up off the ground where he left it

Gauron glanced at Aleksei's weapon. It was an old model, like the man said. Old, but very reliable. It also had the distinction of being one of the few successful firearms that used cased ammunition. "Finding ammunition for that antique must be a chore."
"So... raise your hand if you need medical attention." The mention of a medical crew brought Gauron's mind to a halt. Based on the design of the VTOL that had just landed, it wasn't fast in any sense of the word. The gash in his abdomen would be mostly healed by the time they got back to Tokyo. He scowled at the vehicle and started looking for his knife. It had fallen into the dirt a few feet away.
Gauron snatched up his knife and put it back in its sheathe."I'll take the ride, but you can keep your medics. I can take care of myself," he said as he walked after Aurora. He hoped she wouldn't press the issue.
((Important note about the Code Geass universe: thanks to the discovery of Sakuradite, cased ammunition weapons never actually existed. It's a long a complicated story that I'd be happy to share, but somewhere else))

Aurora chuckled at Gauron, "Don't trust the top medical treatments in the world?" she shrugged with a laugh, getting on the VTOL, "That's fine. Just don't die on me, alright?" Aurora sat on one of the seats in the craft, holding on to it's railing. The Elites held onto the handlebars on the ceiling, staying standing. Two medics moved towards Aleksei to help him up and begin treatment immediately, using a small screen to check for fractures and a medical foam to sanitize and close his cuts. Aurora still chuckled softly, "I really don't understand what drives men to show their skill in such ways." she said with amusement.

Aleksei laughed slightly "We do it because we always believe that someone has to be better than the other there are no equals only those who are strong and those who are weak its slightly like buisness except more violent" Aleksei said as the medics worked on closing his cuts "And I doubt Gauron would die so easily I should know" Aleksei said remembering how Gauron simply shrugged off every wound he gave him even the deepest most bloodiest ones things that would send a normal man going into shock or dieing of blood loss he survied it all it was slightly strange

Gauron clambered into the VTOL, denying his body's attempt to wince when the movement twisted the wound in his gut twisted in a decidedly wrong direction. The pain returned with new vehemence when he sat. "Don't trust the top medical treatments in the world? That's fine. Just don't die on me, alright?"
"No. I won't," he replied. It could have been seen either as a mysterious or an arrogant response; largely because these two had no clue what they were dealing with. How they reacted if - or when - they found out would very likely determine his continued employment with Irkalla.
"I really don't understand what drives men to show their skill in such ways." Aurora seemed to think she had Gauron figured out as a typical human male. It almost made him laugh.
Aleksei's answer did bring a chuckle through his lips. Inching ever closer, he thought with bemusedly. He put his jacket on his lap and made sure to cover his presently-healing wound. Even though he had declined their attention, the medics looked at him with worried glances.
This was not how he had planned on ending today's entertainment.

"No... he won't die so easily, will he?..." Aurora agreed with Aleksei, looking at Gauron through her sunglasses. She laughed at Gauron's comment, "Very well, Gauron. Would you like us to drop you off somewhere specific?" Aurora leaned slightly to the side on her chair, crossing her legs as the VTOL took off. She took out a bottle of water from a cooler on the side of her chair, taking a sip of it. She was eager to talk to Aleksei alone about this incident. She had only spotted a fragment of the fight, but some of the wounds did seem substantial. Yet... Gauron seemed just fine, if just a bit fidgety. She made a mental note to look further into his background.

Aleksei took out his knife and slid it back into the hilt "Yes he is quite skilled one of the best ways to learn about others is to fight them and from what I learned today Gauron is not someone to be taken lightly I should know" Aleksei said as the medics finished bandaging the wound it really wasn't that bad but that didn't mean it wouldn't get infected Aleksei leaned his head back against the wall of the VTOL it barely made any noise quickly bringing him to a half asleep like state the blood he lost made him slightly tired

Gauron looked at Aurora and waited to reply until they were in the air. "The roof of Knight's Cross apartments," he said. It felt strange to be brought to his residence. Typically, his employers interacted with him as little as possible. They never offered to chauffeur him around. Hopefully, it wouldn't become a regular practice.
Under his shirt - hidden by the jacket on his lap - the wound in his gut was well on its way to healing. The outer layer of skin was already mended, leaving only a dark bruise where the internal damage was still present. Serious damage like that would take longer to repair itself.
With the care of a practiced professional, Gauron pulled his pistol out of its holster and popped the magazine out. He ignored the Sentinels' unease at his actions and methodically searched the weapon, making sure that it had received no damage in the little scuffle. Once he was satisfied with the state of the gun, he slid the magazine home and chambered a round before clicking the safety on. The weapon slipped back into place in his shoulder holster without a sound.
Next was his knife. He handled it with a caring hand. There were a few nicks along the blade from where it had come in contact with Makarov's. He felt confident that he could sharpen those back into working order. "I need some water," he said to Aurora. A dirty blade was simply unacceptable. Blood tended to corrode the weapon and while rust offered fun potential for infecting those that it cut, it was something that he would rather not deal with.

Aurora took out another bottle of water, tossing it at Gauron for him to catch. She had been perfectly calm as he checked his weapons, clearly not intimidated by his actions. His seeming lack of pain and exhaustion did peak her interest further. He certainly didn't look like a man who was just in a knife fight with an ex Spetznas. A fragment of her staff were once from said organization, and they had trained her, so she knew how good they were... not to mention Aurora had seen a part of this fight, and she noted a rather large gash on Gauron's stomach, an area that is notorious for causing tremendous pain.
Aurora turned her eyes to Aleksei, handing him a bottle of water as well, silently smiling at him.

Aleksei cracked open one eye as a medic tapped him lightly on the shoulder as Aurora offered him a bottle of water. He smiled lightly and accepted the bottle of water. "Thank you Aurora" Aleksei said as he opened the bottle and drank about a quarter of its contents it helped ease of some of his dizziness the water also seemed to grant him back a bit of his strength he glanced at Gauron again with his eye it was strange most of the wounds he had sustained such as the ones on his arm were already healed there was indeed something strange about the man but now wasn't the time to try and find out

Gauron took the bottle without a word and watched, captivated as always, as the water ran down the blade, taking the offending blood with it. He broke his gaze and cut a length of semi-clean cloth from the jacket on his lap. The fabric was too coarse - and too filthy - to be truly effective at cleaning the weapon, but he had supplies at his apartment that were better suited to the task.
When the blade was as clean as it was going to get, he slipped his finger through the ring and started spinning the blade in lazy arcs. While it twirled, he looked at Aurora. "Care to talk business?" he asked in a passably pleasant tone.

"Business? I'm always willing to talk business, Mr. Gauron. What's on your mind?" she smiled. She was curious as to what he could possibly propose at the moment. Such an interesting man. So full of life, even at his older age, and even after so much blood loss. She began to wonder if the Chinese had some technology she didn't know about... or perhaps another country did it? She hadn't been looking too much into biotechnologies, but she knew that the Chinese Kingdom's head of research, Ke-Lan, had some obsession with the subject. She hadn't had any intel about it being too successful though.

Aleksei glanced toward a medic as he injected a shot of Adrenaline into his system to keep him awake it wasn't really necessary but dang did it feel good. Aleksei's eyes opened wider as the Adrenaline quickly replenished most of the strength that he had lost from blood loss. "Biotechnology huh? my contact in china has heard about it before the question is was the rumors he heard true" Aleksei thought his mind slightly hazy. Hei Feng was a member of the Chinese Secret Police and was also a contact of Aleksei's in China very influential and a very useful ally to have especially during his operations in China

"Business? I'm always willing to talk business, Mr. Gauron. What's on your mind?" Aurora was smiling and had a glint in her eye that told Gauron that, regardless of his dubious pastimes, he was still in Irkalla's good graces.
"Several things. First on the list is my next assignment. As you can tell, I get bored easily," he said with a smile of his own. "And I would hate to ruin this relationship of ours by picking a fight with someone whose skill are, shall we say, lacking. I'll be ready to begin any mission you give me by tomorrow at the earliest.
"Second," he continued, the knife still spinning on his finger. "I have some friends in China who could be useful to your goals. They need to get out of the country quickly and quietly." It was at least partly true. Tianzao and the other eight that Gauron had given extra attention to did need to get out of the Federation if he had any hopes of using them. Of course, they would only do work that he allowed them to. It wouldn't be too much of a problem.
"And lastly," he started. The knife stopped and he pointed it at Aurora. It wasn't a threatening gesture - at least, it wasn't supposed to be taken that way. The soldiers in the VTOL would likely take it as such and Gauron would, as usual, ignore them. "You can drop the 'Mister'. Even my subordinates call me Gauron." He turned his attention, and the knife, to Aleksei, who looked much more alert after being given a shot of adrenaline. "I stopped using the name Josef Totschläger when I was a teen. It's just Gauron now." He sat back in the seat and started spinning the knife again, waiting for Aurora's response.
