Ruspin: @Six: I'm not sure if we are, either.
(Eventually, Ruspin, the envoys, and bodyguards make their way to the fort, with a very large metal door in front of em.)
Ruspin: ...Ahem.
(She knocks on the metallic door about seven times.)
Ruspin: Open up, the peacemakers are here!
(The doors open, showing off a very large foyer with stoned walls, but a red carpet as well. It makes the decor seem a bit contradictory. It's pretty warm inside, surprisingly enough. There's a chair and table on the side, and a closed-off staircase in the middle of the room, leading, presumably, to Valir. Above the staircase is three paintings; the now dead King, Valo, who sports a black beard, purple eyes, an ushanka-like hat, and coat, and an adult woman with black hair and green eyes. She appears to be pregnant. The next is a picture of Valo, holding a black-haired, purple-eyed little girl in it, who smiles, but looks bored. The last picture is of an uncomfortable, unhappy-looking woman, who wears her hair in a bun, and appears to be a grown-up version of the girl from the second picture.)
@Albert: Toa are usually 1.6 bio tall, or about 7 feet if I'm calculating right. And you'd have to change that to Demi-goddess of Water. Toa of Water and all Ga-matoran are exclusively female.
—Takanuva laughs at Albert's apparent unknowing jest, and then pauses—
@Albert: How about Tak, instead? Taka feels...unusual to me.
—Takanuva looks around the room, shocked—
@Himself: I feel like I'm in the Great Temple. Incredible.

'If you fall seven times, stand up eight.' The cry of the Undead.—Takanuva nods at Albert's words—
@Albert: Like you have no idea. My sister, Gali, the Toa of Water, is one of the most powerful Toa I have ever seen. She could create tidal waves in deserts, swim as fast as the fish in the sea. Karzhani, I think she's more at home underwater than on dry land. And the scary part? She's the gentlest soul I've met. She's a lot like the ocean, in many ways. The gentle tides hide a powerful current underlying.

@Albert: It truly was an amazing place. It was a shame that it was also a very dangerous world to travel. But I was so curious, I found myself braving those dangers more times than I imagined. The truth is Albert, for a long time my people, the Matoran, lived like tribesmen. We were separate, each of us keeping to ourselves for a long time. Ironically, I, an outsider among my own people, was one of the key individuals who helped unite all six tribes back into one people and finding our once lost home. If you want impressive Al, then you should've seen Metru Nui. It was like seeing an island metropolis.

Ruspin: @Mercuria: I don't think any of us would mind at all. Anywhom, welcome to Valir's Fort, where many generations of the Sterr family lived! Make yourselves comfy. @Albert: I'd really rather you not.
(The doors shut, stopping the cold air from coming in.)

—Takanuva giggles at Albert's question—
@Albert: No, we wear masks because they grant us power. If I wasn't wearing my mask, I'd have a much harder time keeping up in this cold weather. If a Matoran doesn't have a mask, they go into a sort of sleep, catatonic almost. Toa can manage without a mask for a short while, but it's like going from full strength to only a quarter of it; you really prefer being at full strength running than a quarter strength trying to just hustle. So no Albert, you wouldn't have to wear a mask. Though given your height, I think you'd be a bit mistaken for a Toa of Water at a distance.
—Takanuva chuckles, like he made some inside joke—
