Celsius grumbled, then nestled his head in the crook of Logan's neck. He usually hated being hugged by anyone, regardless of age, status, or gender. But he didn't seem to mind hugs from Logan. He appeared to be the only exception.
|
Logan rubbed Celsius back slightly. He was trying to get him to calm down. He was also glad that he happened to be the only that, Celsius would allow to hug him. " Come on let's go sit down" He said. |
Celsius nodded, shuffling over to his bed slowly and lowering himself down onto it. He leaned on Logan once he was sitting down, staring up at the ceiling.
|
" It'll be alright, I'll figure something out" He told him. Logan wanted him to feel better, he just wasn't sure how to do it. |
"...If she's not just making things up to make the situation seem hopeless for me, then the best bet for me would be to try and find this family's missing son," Celsius replied, absently.
|
" How'd would we find him? It's possible he might not even be alive." He said. |
"We find out exactly what happened. Try to trace their steps from there...and see what we can find out. If he's dead, he's dead...if that's the case, I'm going to have to find another way out of this..."
Celsius was running many thoughts through his mind. When he wanted to, he could show signs of great intelligence. Most of the time, he hid any kind of superior intelligence away in his mind, masked by grumpiness. |
"I think there might be a spell, that if we have a sample of related DNA, we could try and track him down. I haven't mastered it though, but maybe with some work" He said. He had been trying to use it once upon a time trying to get some clue who his family might be, but it never worked for him. |
"...How in the world are we going to get DNA from someone of this girl's family?" Celsius asked, tilting his head. "I think a bit of sneaking around might be in order."
|
" Well I was thinking maybe you should shift into something, that would be able to sneak in and get a strand of hair from on of the family members." He said. He mused for a few moments," I can use my cloaking spell to hide you, while you do that. I'd offer to go my self, but I can't cloak anything big, I'm sorry." He said. |
Celsius frowned, slightly. "...A mouse?" he asked, curiously. A small house mouse would do the trick. He didn't often change into smaller creatures, like mice. Rats he could do, but mice were smaller...
|
" Maybe, I can cloak something bigger, if you don't want to shape into that" He said. He titled his head to look at Celsius. |
"It'd be easier for a mouse to get through cracks in the wall, and things like that...hang on."
Celsius closed his eyes, and concentrated. A bright light surrounded him, followed by a short 'pop!' Where he had been sitting, there was now a purplish mouse in his place. He had trouble changing to the authentic colors of animals on the first few tries. |
" Well yeah that's true." He said. Logan now looked at the mouse that was Celsius. ' How cute' he thought. He smiled," That's perfect, I'll be able to cloak you then" He said. |
The mouse sniffed up at him, approvingly, before the light enveloped him again and Celsius returned to his human form. "All right...where does this family live--any idea?" he asked, idly. "Since we need to get out of the house again anyway before my father finds us...we can do this now."
|
" Hmm, I think, Veria street." He said. He mused for a few moments," At least that's what I heard the servants said" He said. He stood up," Well yeah, we can do it now" He said. |
Celsius nodded, slowly. "All right...I, erm...I really don't want to deal with finding either of my parents, so...mind if I change into a rat or something and hide in your pocket?" he asked, hopefully.
|
" I don't mind that at all" He said with a smile. He just hoped that he would be able to avoid them, since his parents might use him to convince Celsius or try to at least. |
"Thank you..." Celsius wrapped his arms around him, engulfing him in a warm, content hug. He then changed into a black rat--a comfortable form for him. His body would fit snugly in one of Logan's pockets this way.
|
Logan smiled, and put Celsius in his pocket. " Alright let's go" He said. He then headed to the car. He manged to avoid anyone who would stop him. Once at the car he opened the door and got in. |
Once he was sure they were home free, Celsius crawled out of Logan's pocket and into the passenger seat. He changed back into his human form, sighing softly.
|
" Alright, we should be there in 20 minutes" He said. He then focused on driving there. They arrived at the other's family house. |
"All right...let's go over this plan one more time," Celsius requested, taking Logan's hand and holding it tightly. "I change, and you'll cloak me...and what exactly do I do?"
|
" Then you sneak into the house and either get some hair from either the mother, father or daugther." He said. |
Celsius nodded, grinning. "I can do that. If we're talking about male DNA...it would be most accurate if I got DNA from the only male of that group..." he mused. "All right..." he opened the car door. "I'm off."
He changed into his little purple mouse form and traveled down onto the ground, heading towards the house rather swiftly. He was going to find a way inside through the front door. |
