Aamori sat quietly while he was talking and merely gave a soft sigh once he'd finished telling her what topics should be avoided. She knew most of that to some extent but didn't think about it really. She also hadn't seen anything really wrong with what she had said when she brought up Kanone's mother but apparently just bringing her up is a no-no. She shook her head lightly and looked at him already expecting that pillow to come flying at her again. She managed to catch it this time before it hit her and just set it down on her lap. She smiled a little and shook her head again. "I think I did that already... something like seven or eight times in the span of maybe ten minutes or less." She uttered quietly. "...If he ever does hit me again, if it's like last time ...I think you'll know." She mumbled. That one time was rather embarrassing. She was pretty sure that everyone heard it and if they didn't actually hear his hand connect with her face than they surely heard her crying afterward. She glanced back down at the pillow in her lap and started to pick it up and for a moment it looked like she was going to throw it back at him but rather she tossed it over her shoulder onto her bed. For now it could stay here she supposed and either he or Celestine could come back for it later. "...You know ...If I was trying to knock you out, I think I'd use something that wasn't quite that soft." She said with a soft chuckle.

Kyran was steadily eating his breakfast at least until he felt the ice pack on his head again. Of course that made him turn his head slightly to look over at Hikari since he was pretty sure that she was the reason the ice pack wasn't just laying where it had fallen. He smiled slightly and then went right back to finishing up his omelet as well. It didn't take him very long and he easily could've eaten as fast as Hikari had but he wasn't really in a rush. Once he was finished he set the silverware down on the plate and was about to reach over to set it down on the night stand but stopped and moved a hand up to hold the ice pack himself. He didn't need Hikari trying to move with him just to keep the ice pack to his head. Once he had a hold of the ice pack he resumed moving the plate over onto the nightstand. Then he shifted slightly and leaned his head back against the headboard again to hold the ice pack in place. "...Thank you, again."

Kanone chuckled softly when she finally managed to catch the pillow and then laughed when she said that she'd already done that so many times. "Hahaha Oh wow, I bet he was ready to explode." he said with a chuckle, though then he remembered that he had already struck her for calling him a name repeatedly. "Ah...wait...he did..." he said with a soft laugh. He sighed and then stepped away from the wall and walked over to the bench to sit down beside her. "Well...I don't know, maybe if you threw it hard enough..." he said with a soft laugh. "So...what do you have planned for today?" He asked with a slight smile. "Well aside from tormenting my lovely cousin." he said with a soft laugh.

Hikari smiled warmly at Kyran when he glanced at her and then leaned her head lightly against his shoulder and closed her eyes while he ate. She didn't move her hand, though her fingers were starting to go a little numb. Once he finished eating and took the pack off of her hand she smiled and placed her hand on her leg over the edge of her shorts to try to warm it up faster. She laughed softly when he thanked her again and then nodded to him before she leaned against him and nuzzled his chest lightly. "You're welcome." she said softly. She wrapped her arm around his front and hugged him tightly for a moment before she let him go and looked up to him again. She still wanted to go check up on Nanashi, but she was trying to wait since Kyran had an injured head. She kind of wanted him to come with her. She was afraid that LaRae might be upset with her for how forceful she was in trying to get Nanashi away from her while she was grieving over him so she didn't particularly want to go in there by herself just yet until she'd had a better chance to try to measure her mood.

Aamori stared at Kanone after he sat down on the bench beside her. She laughed quietly and shook her head. "Those pillows are pretty fluffy and I don't think my arm is strong enough to throw something like that hard enough to knock you out." She uttered. "Now... my staff on the other hand..." She trailed off with a soft laugh. She sat there for a moment and stretched her legs out in front of her a little. "Um.. I don't really have anything planned." She paused. "I was supposed to have my usual morning training with Hisako, but for reasons unknown to me, she's still in bed. So... I've got another day off I guess." She said and glanced towards her door. "I think I could probably go check on the clothes I am having made for Nanashi and see how they're coming along." She said and then looked at him. "Is there anything you want to do while you're here?"

Kyran looked down at Hikari when she leaned against him and nuzzled his chest lightly. He shut his eyes lightly and then smiled a bit when she hugged him. He cracked his eyes open to look at her and noticed she'd looked up at him. He opened his eyes the rest of the way as he continued to look at her. "...What is it?" He asked quietly. He figured that something was on her mind but he couldn't tell what it was and he certainly couldn't read her mind.

LaRae finally started to wake up again. She'd managed not to move very much, if at all since the day before and she'd woken up off and on several times through the night. She'd had more than enough sleep lately which was the only reason she kept waking up. She blinked a couple times and looked down at Nanashi who hadn't appeared to have moved very much either. She smiled lightly and tried to remain still like she had every other time she'd woken up just to make sure that she wasn't going to disturb him.

Kanone laughed softly and shook his head. "Aww you can't make a deadly weapon out of fluff? Haha you could probably kill someone with my pillow." His pillow was stuffed with down feathers, so it was rather heavy. He smiled slightly and then shrugged when she asked if there was anything he wanted to do. "Well...since you have the time, would you want to show me around when you go out? Well...if whoever is with you doesn't mind, I guess. I was told you're not supposed to go wandering around alone." he said with a slight smile.

Hikari smiled at Kyran when he asked her what she wanted. She chuckled softly and then nuzzled him again. "Am I that readable?" she asked softly. "...I was just wonder if you...wanted to come with me to check on Nanashi soon... Since I didn't get to look in on him yesterday." she smiled again and then sat up and stretched slightly. "I...don't really know how LaRae is feeling toward me right now so I don't really want to go in alone..." she said with a weak smile, "...I think I may have upset her..." She knew she could be excessively pushy when she was in a hurry or was trying to do something urgent. she hadn't been oblivious to that look on LaRae's face when she took Nanashi, but she had chosen no to acknowledge it at the time.

Nanashi was still in a light sleep when LaRae woke up. He had woken up once since he'd fallen asleep again the day before, but he had only been awake for about fifteen minutes and still didn't feel like moving, so he soon fell right back asleep again. He was still weak and extremely tired, though all of the rest was at least helping him recover much more quickly. He was on the verge of waking up on his own again soon, though any noise or movement would probably be enough to wake him up sooner. He just didn't want to get up again yet.

Aamori shook her head lightly. "If you really want me to try, I'm sure if I got the pillow drenched in water first it'd hurt a hell of a lot more than it does at current." She said with a small chuckle, only joking of course. She wasn't all that surprised to hear him ask if she'd like to show him around. Though, she'd never really been given the opportunity to show anyone around the island. They had special people who were given that job on occasion. At any rate she didn't mind, she actually kind of thought it'd be fun. Especially since both Hisako and Yoichi weren't going to be around to escort her today. "After I check on those clothes, I don't mind showing you around a little." She started. "And there isn't anyone to escort me around today. Hisako and my brother are pretty much the only one's qualified to do so and they're both preoccupied with sleeping." She paused. "But Yoichi did tell me that if I went out I should have one of my friends come with me and I think that might include you." She started to stand up from the bench and then glanced back at him. "...If you heard about that ...what else have you heard?" She asked curiously. She was pretty sure she hadn't told him that detail and she'd been careful about what she did tell him just because she wasn't sure how he'd react to any of it. So since he knew that she did want to know what else he'd been told about.

Kyran started to lift his head up from the headboard when she started to sit up. He reached for the ice pack before it had a chance to fall and then set it down on the bed beside him. He felt like he should've known that was what was on her mind. It had actually been a little while since the last time she brought that up so it was bound to come up again soon. After all she could only go so long without going into worry-mode again. He sighed softly and nodded lightly. "I guess I can go with you." He uttered. "I am a little surprised though." He paused. "...You're actually afraid of something." He said with a quiet laugh. So far they'd had to fight Nerian and that hydra and the only things she'd shown any sign of being afraid of were snakes too close to her and LaRae after what went on the other night. Shouldn't that have been the other way around? He looked at her again. "So... when do you want to do this?"

Kanone chuckled lightly at what she said about the pillow and then shook his head. "Pass." he said simply. He smiled again when she said that she could show him around after she went to check on the clothes and that she wasn't going to have any escort except for him. He laughed when she said she guessed that counted him. "Hmmm, I would hope so by now." He blinked when she stood and asked him what else he'd heard. "Hmm? Oh... eh.... not too much... Just you've lived here since you were 13, you're trained in the art of combat, you aren't allowed to wander around by yourself because your people are weird, you're going to be an elder when you get older..." He said nonchalantly, passing it off almost as a joke. "Umm...pretty much your life's history from the time you got that crazy echo in your voice that I kept hearing back home and thought I was going nuts." He said with a grin.

Hikari smiled warmly at Kyran when he said that he would go with her, though she blinked when he said that he was surprised and tilted her head. "Heh, what's that supposed to mean?" she asked with a soft laugh, "I'm not afraid of LaRae I just don't want her to be mad at me because I got a little overzealous the other night... I just...think I upset her when I snatched Nanashi from her and I haven't really been around her since then..." She sighed softly and then shook her head slightly, "And why would you say that like I have no fear?" she asked with a soft laugh. She shook her head and then finally stood up and sighed. "...I...suppose we could go now...if you're up to it." she said with a slight smile. "...We can wait if your head is still bothering you too much."

Aamori continued to stand there listening to him answer her about what all he had heard. Since he had said everything so nonchalantly she almost missed that last part. She turned away slightly with that knowledge and sighed heavily. She guessed it really couldn't be helped, he'd have found out about her being an Elder in training eventually. That is unless he was a complete dimwit and didn't catch the very noticeable drift. Well at least he didn't appear to be making anything of it and that made her feel better. She glanced back at him for a moment with a pseudo confused look on her face. "There's an echo in my voice?" She asked. "It doesn't sound like I'm echoing... are you sure you haven't lost your mind?"

Kyran looked at Hikari and smiled slightly. "If you've got fear than you do a good job of hiding it." He paused. "You're an ace healer and weren't afraid to help Nanashi when his appearance could even scare LaRae stiff... You keep helping and being nice to Nero when he obviously has no want or need to be nice to you... You're a good shot with your bow and weren't too stiff to fire at either of the guardians... need I go on?" He said with a quiet laugh. "For a person of your political standing such things shoud've struck fear into you and they didn't, or at least not visibly." He put his legs over the side of the bed and then started to get up. After he got to his feet he gently pressed his hand to the back of his head a little, having gotten up too fast. Once a moment had passed he dropped his arm back down to his side and then looked back over to Hikari. "As for my head... I'll be alright. It's just a knot with a little ache here and there. So long as you don't decide to throw me on the ground again I think I'll survive."

Kanone blinked when she made the comment about the echo and then went silent for a long moment. "Umm...no...no not entirely..." he said with a half smile, "Though back home I did hear one a couple of times and since there's nothing special about your voice at the moment I assume you can probably do something about it when you want to. Otherwise I have no idea what 'came into her voice' was supposed to mean so..." he laughed slightly and shook his head. He finally stood up himself and stretched slightly before he cracked his neck in both directions and then grinned and patted her on the head. "But that's okay, you can throw me in the loony bin on the tour." he said with a laugh.

Hikari listened to Kyran in all of this flattery and blushed slightly as she glanced away. Once he finally got to his feet she looked back to him again and smiled slightly. She nodded to him in acknowledgment to what he said about his head and then laughed softly. She shook her head slightly and then sighed, "...I don't know how much of what you're praising me on his bravery or just me being a good actress. ...I was very afraid of the guardians, but I was more afraid that one of you was going to get hurt beyond my ability to heal. That's why I didn't hesitate. As for Nero...I would like to get along with everyone in the group and the only way I can manage getting along with Nero is if I treat him as nicely as I would like him to treat me. He helps me when I need it, and to be honest...he is perfectly fine around me when no one is around to see it. He even tucked me in the other night if you can believe that." she said with a slight laugh. "...And as for Nanashi...I knew what was happening to him... It happens to almost all dragon halves eventually... Each one has a certain phase where their bodies try to change into a dragon, but those with human blood usually can't complete the transition and they get stuck somewhere between... It's just like we cannot remain in this form constantly, we occasionally have to shift forms. Even still as I'm sure you noticed, the transition is very painful and it lasts as long as whatever triggers it. Nanashi's trigger was the red third moon... He was one of the lucky ones... His trigger occurs only once every sixty years...some can occur monthly, like a full or new moon... That is one of the main reasons why so few live to be as old as he is now... I knew he was going to bleed to death if I didn't do something... and we still almost lost him..." she said quietly. She shook her head slightly, "...My biggest fear...is losing the people close to me. I don't want any more holes. That's why I do whatever I have to do to keep that from happening." She smiled slightly and looked up to him again before she moved a little closer and wrapped her arms around him tightly. "...Remember that...so you don't do anything reckless."

Aamori shook her head lightly after listening to him. He knew a little more specifically on the topic than she originally thought. He even had part of a sentence that was almost always used and he was smart enough to realize that she could kind of control when her voice changed. Well it looked like she wasn't going to be able to talk her way out him knowing about that stupid echo of hers, or anything about her going to be an Elder, for that matter. She watched for a moment while he stood up and then started to look away, though she wound up staring at him as soon as she felt his hand patting her on top of the head. She still didn't like that very much and he still made a habit of doing it which made her wonder if she had ever told him that she didn't like it. She was pretty sure that she had told him at least once before. She shook her head lightly and then took both of her hands and pushed him away from her a little. "I don't think the loony bin is going to break your habit of patting heads... so it might be a little pointless to take you there." She paused. "I think you need an AA meeting for that." She said with a small chuckle.

Kyran listened to her quietly while she went on breaking down everything that he had said. He smiled at her when she wrapped her arms around him and then shook his head a little. "It still took a great deal of bravery to do those things without hesitation." He said as he put his arms around her and hugged her. "And I'll try not to do anything ...reckless." He said quietly then nuzzled his head against hers lightly. He couldn't honestly say that he'd never do something reckless. If someone, be it her, or someone else in the group was in danger or something he'd do what ever he could to help like when he tried to keep Nerian from hurting her that once. He started to pull away from her and kissed her cheek in the process. "Okay... so we're going to see how Nanashi is doing, right?" He said as he looked at her. They could stand there and talk forever and nothing would get done unless they started moving.

Kanone blinked whens he pushed him away from her and then laughed softly at her comment about he AA meeting. "Oh really, is this better?" He asked as he put his hand on top of her head and rubbed it around roughly, completely messing up the top of her hair. He grinned at her as if he knew he'd just done something that could set her off and then leaned down quickly to kiss her cheek to make nice. "Hey...at least I don't have a fascination with patting your bum." he said lightly. He laughed and stood back before he looked at her hair and then remembered his own mess. He reached up to finally take the pony tail that she had messed up the night before down. He'd forgotten to even take it out when he went to bed. He sighed and shook out his hair, letting it fall to his shoulder blades before he ran his fingers back through it again.

Hikari smiled slightly when Kyran hugged her back and then finally looked up to him again as he kissed her cheek. She finally lowered her arms back to her sides and then blinked. "Oh right." she said with a soft laugh. She shook her head slightly and then turned to the door again to go out. She held the door for Kyran and then finally started around the hall to the first door on the right. She stood there for a moment before she finally knocked lightly, partially just to let them know someone was there and partially to see if anyone was even awake.

Nanashi's ear twitched slightly at the sound of the door and he groaned softly before he nuzzled against LaRae a little more and then cracked his eyes open a little. He stretched out slightly and then turned his head back toward the door before he looked back to LaRae again. He smiled weakly and slowly pulled away from her again, laying his head back on the pillow beside her rather than on top of her. "...Sorry..." he said quietly. He had no idea how long he'd had her pinned there like that. "...Did you...hear something?" he asked as he glanced toward the door again.

Aamori's face practically froze when he started messing up her hair. That was definitely much worse than patting her head and only because it was such a pain to fix her hair with how her horns were. She started to open her mouth to say something but stopped as soon as he kissed her cheek. Her cheeks tinted red and she turned around quickly to move over to her vanity to snatch up a brush. Well... she would've liked to have chewed him out for messing up her hair but he pretty much cinched it so that she couldn't by kissing her cheek. She plopped herself down on the little stool in front of her vanity and started trying to fix her hair. Once she finally got some of her composure back she turned slightly to look over at him. "I think if that was your fascination... my brother would've already killed you." She uttered while fixing her hair. Once she finished with her hair she set down her brush and then got back to her feet and looked over at him. "...So ...am I going to have to bring a hair brush with me if I show you around, or are you going to leave my hair alone?"

Kyran shook his head lightly when she said 'oh right' and finally started for the door. He followed after her and passed through the door since she'd held it open for him. Once she started to head down the hall to their room he tagged along behind her. After she knocked on the door he thought it was probably better that she didn't get to go check on him yesterday. He probably didn't need the extra company and the chance to rest undisturbed was probably better for him.

LaRae glanced over to the door when she heard the knock and then looked down at Nanashi when he started to stir. She shifted a little once he'd moved off of her and then shook her head lightly. "It's fine." She replied and then leaned over towards him so that she could kiss his cheek lightly. She pulled back and then started to get up from the bed. She stretched a little and looked at him. "Yeah, I think someone's probably here to check on you." She uttered as she started to walk over to the door. She was a little surprised that neither Hikari or Celestine had come yesterday to look in on him but it was probably better that way. She reached the door and set her hand on the knob then opened it a little to see who was there. She smiled slightly when she saw Hikari and Kyran. "Morning." She uttered and then pulled the door open the rest of the way so they could come in, since she assumed that was why they were here.

Kanone laughed slightly and shook his head. "Mm probably." he agreed, "I think most brothers would." He moved over to stand behind her while she finished fixing her hair. He blinked when he saw all of the brushes and combs laying all over the vanity. "...Think you have enough brushes there?" he asked with a slight laugh. He reached down and started to slide one of the combs toward the edge of the vanity with one finger while she was asking him about her hair. "Hmm...Well that depends, are you going to keep getting upset when you get a nice little pat on the head?" he asked with a grin. He finally slipped the comb's handle off of the vanity and took a hold of it, "You mind?" he asked as he motioned to his own hair. He didn't really mind if she said no, after all he could comb it with his fingers and put it back up, but he would rather actually get it all straightened out first.

Nanashi almost groaned when LaRae said that it was probably someone to check on him. He shook his head slightly and then rolled onto his back and pushed himself up a little further on the pillow while she got up. He sighed and watched as she went to the door and answered it. He still didn't really want them checking up on him. After all he didn't really know what to say to them other than he was fine.

Hikari waited at the door until it opened and then smiled slightly LaRae when she opened the door. "Good morning." she said softly, "...Is...Nanashi awake?" she asked curiously, tilting her head a little. "I...er...we just wanted to see how he was." she explained as she glanced back to Kyran briefly. She glanced back to LaRae again and then smiled a little more warmly back at LaRae since she didn't seen all that upset anymore.

Aamori looked down at her vanity briefly when he asked if she had enough brushes. She sighed softly. There were a lot of brushes there and they didn't all fit in the tiny little drawers of that vanity; Which was why she just left them out on the top of it. "There's one of every type of brush or comb there that you could possibly think of. They different in size, to bristle, and teeth width. Oh and of course some of them are made of different materials." She started. "...When I got moved here I didn't get to keep my hair brush and they didn't bother asking me what type of brush I liked so they got one of everything and didn't bother taking the rest back when I picked one." She explained. She looked back to him when he asked if she minded and shook her head. "Go ahead, keep it if you want." She paused. "It isn't like I'm going to miss it even if you did take it." She sighed softly and then stared at him briefly. "So there is no chance that you'll just stop patting my head then?"

Kyran looked at LaRae once she had opened the door and then continued to stand there quietly while Hikari told her why they were here. Though that should've been obvious. He also hadn't thought that LaRae was going to be upset with Hikari still, so seeing that she seemed fine wasn't all that surprising. He'd guessed that any ill feelings towards Hikari went out the window once Nanashi was going to be alright. He'd come with her just by the off chance he'd thought wrong and this way he could see how Nanashi was doing for himself since he had been concerned about him as well.

LaRae nodded to Hikari's question. "Yes, he's awake." She said and then glanced between the two to of them. "...Are you two going to stand out there forever or come inside?" She asked since she was still holding the door open for them.

Kanone half smiled when she told him to go ahead and then started to comb out his hair carefully. He glanced over to her when she started talking about all of the combs and brushes and then chucked softly. "I can see that." he said lightly since she was telling him everything that was laying there. He raised an eyebrow when she said that she didn't get to keep her old brush. "Heh, well at least you got a new brush." he said lightly, "And...several spares." he said with a slight laugh. "But if you didn't want all of the extras why keep them laying all over the dresser? Just give them to someone to give to someone else or something. Heck, throw them at your brother, he's not plenty of hair to use them on." he mused with a soft laugh. He finished combing out his hair and then held the comb between his lips while he threw his head forward and gathered his hair into a ponytail on the back of his head before he tied it up loosely like he usually did. He started to lay the comb back on the vanity again and then paused and half smiled before slipping it into his pocket since she'd said he could keep it. "I think I will just to give you a hole to set something else down." he said with a soft laugh. "Oh...and no...no there isn't." he chimed with a grin as he patted her on the head once more, though this time he was careful not to mess up her hair again.

Hikari chuckled softly and then shrugged, "Oh I guess we could stand out here all day..." she joked before she finally stepped inside. "Thank you." she told her since she'd been holding the door for them. She took a few steps into the room so Kyran could get in as well before she finally looked over to the bed. "Hey... How are you feeling, Nanashi?" she asked as she stepped a little closer to the bed. She blinked when she saw the gold piece of material tied around his forehead and then raised an eyebrow. She recognized that as Celestine's sash, though...she didn't know why he was wearing it.

Nanashi wasn't all that surprised to hear Hikari's voice at the door, Kyran had warned him that she would probably come to check on him. He was actually surprised that she hadn't come sooner, though he was even more surprised to see Kyran with her. He thought that Kyran might wait to come on his own to spare him having too many people int he room at once, though he really didn't mind his company. He was more nervous around Hikari than he was around Kyran anymore. Once they finally got into the room he started trying to push himself up in the bed again. It still made him a little dizzy to sit up, but it wasn't as bad as yesterday and he was finding it a little easier to move around. he sighed softly and leaned back against the headboard lightly before he offered them both a weak smile. "I'm fine." he murmured quietly before he lowered his eyes again. He fidgeted absently with the ring on his finger while his hands rested in his lap before his gaze wandered back to Kyran again and then to Hikari.

Hikari smiled and nodded. "That's good, I'm glad you're feeling better." She glanced to the golden material around his head again and then chuckled softly. "You can't stand wearing your hair down, can you?" she commented.

"Huh?" he looked back to her and then blinked. It took him a moment to even realize what she meant. "Oh! Um...my bandanna...ripped... I'm just...used to having something there." he answered almost nervously. He case a brief 'help' glance to Kyran. He should have known someone would comment on that eventually. Usually things like that came off when you were sick in bed or something so it was probably really strange for him to still be wearing one at all, let alone one that anyone int he goup could easily recognize as Celestine's belt.

Aamori's eyes dropped back down to her vanity and she skimmed over her brushes briefly. "I tried to have them given away, to anyone who could take them... but being who I am... 'commoners' of my clan aren't supposed to get stuff like that from me. Or so that's what I've been told." She paused. "Not a single one of those brushes or combs can be passed off as just some random person's either. They all have the Elders symbol engraved or painted on it somewhere." She explained. She sighed softly and reached for one of the combs, picking it up to look at the symbol on it. "Apparently being given something from me or any of previous Elders just makes it go to their heads or something..." She muttered. She stared at Kanone again when he patted her head and shook her head once he was done. Well, at least he didn't mess up her hair that time. Rather then getting upset about it she stepped closer to him and looked at his ponytail. "I think..." She paused and quickly took the comb she had in her hand and slipped the first tooth under the tie he had in his hair and then pulled it out. "...You need to put your hair up again." She finished with a chuckle while she claimed the tie from the comb and wrapped her hand around it. She tossed the comb back onto the vanity and then started towards the door. "You didn't need this right?" She asked with a chuckle while holding the tie out briefly and then closing her hand again.

Kyran waited until after Hikari had gone into the room to follow after her. He nodded slightly to LaRae as he passed her and then stepped a bit more into the room. He was quiet while Hikari asked her questions, like usual he didn't have to ask anything because she did a fine job of getting the questions out before he could. The only one he wouldn't have asked was about the makeshift bandanna on Nanashi's head. He'd already known about that and hadn't even thought about anything coming of it when someone saw it. He sighed softly seeing the way Nanashi looked at him and then he glanced over to Hikari. "When Celestine brought the dry clothes for Nanashi to wear he offered up his sash in place of the ripped bandanna." He paused thinking briefly for a moment for a plausible excuse to divert her attention. "He was also complaining of his head hurting so I suggested that he wrap his head a little to try and relieve the pressure." He shifted his glance over to Nanashi and smiled weakly hoping that would've sufficed to get her off that sash. "So, has anyone else come to check on you?" He asked to change the subject a bit just in case.

LaRae smiled slightly when Hikari joked about them standing out there all day and then watched as they both came inside. She shut the door finally and then started to move back into the room. She stepped past Kyran and went over to stand on the other side of Kyran. She just stood there quietly until she heard Hikari inquire about the sash around Nanashi's head. She'd known why it was there and didn't have to ask. Though when she caught Nanashi look at Kyran it clicked that Kyran must have known about what Nanashi kept hidden under there. She was kind of relieved to hear Kyran think of something to say because she hadn't expected Hikari to bring it up and she really had no idea what to even say. She was kind of glad that Kyran had come with Hikari. Now she just hoped that was enough to get her to drop the whole topic.

Kanone just shook his head slightly and then sighed heavily. "Oh vengeful gods, scratch it off then." he said with a slight laugh when she said that she couldn't give the things away because of the symbol on them. He just laughed again, No wonder you're stuck with them, getting rid of them sounds like more of a pain in the ass than it's worth." He blinked when he felt his hair fall back to his shoulders again and then glanced back to her as she started away with his hairband. "Um...I guess not?" he said with a slight laugh as he started toward the door. "I have a special comb from a special lady that's going to make my head especially bigger than it already is with all of it's spectacular symbol of specialness, I guess I can forgo the hairband." he jeered, poking at what she'd said earlier about people not being able to take the combs and brushes because it would go to their head. He laughed again and shook his head again. "Heh...crazy, crazy, crazy, I'll never understand it." he said to himself as he got closer to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. "Well, special lady, time to give me a special tour." he told her with a playful smile.

Hikari tilted her head slightly at Nanashi's response and then glanced back to Kyran when she noticed the look to him. She didn't really know why he needed Kyran to speak or him, though she guessed he probably was pretty out of it the other night after everything so he may have not even been entirely sure why he was wearing it. She smiled slightly at Kyran when he answered and then shook her head. "In that case, looks like we'll have to find out a replacement." she said lightly. She wasn't going to make a big deal out of it. After all, she has only been joking with him a little. She'd known his bandanna was ruined, but she had kind of expected him to go without one at least for a little while. She just found it funny that he couldn't even go for a little while without something around his head.

Nanashi sighed softly in relief and nodded a little to confirm Kyran's story. He was relieved that Hikari seemed disinterested again and then looked back to Kyran again when he asked about other visitors. "No." he said quietly, offering a weak smile. He shifted positions slightly, drawing one knee up a little under the blanket while he rested his arm over it. He continued to absently spin the ring around on his finger for lack of better things to do. He wasn't really sure what to talk about or anything. He was kind of glad that no one else had come in to check on him for that reason. It was just kind of awkward being stuck in bed like this...and being visited by people who actually cared.

Hikari smiled at Nanashi and then glanced at his hand when he moved. She stepped a little closer curiously and looked down at the ring that he was fiddling with, mainly because she didn't remember seeing it before. "Oh that is so pretty, when did you get that? I didn't see it before." Leave it to her to notice his jewelry.

He froze when she asked about the ring and then straightened it out again. "Oh...um...it...it was in my pocket... It has been for a while...I guess. I've had it for a long time." he answered quietly. He glanced over to her again and smiled weakly before he slipped it off his finger and held it out to her in the palm of his hand so she could look it over since she was apparently interested.

Hikari smiled slightly and reached down to pick it up when he offered it to her, looking it over closely. She paused when she caught sight of something engraved under the ruby and squinted a little as she held it a little closer to her face. "...What's that?" she asked, pointing to the gem.

Nanashi shrugged slightly. "A ruby, I think... or garnet..." he said simply. He had never really examined the ring lose enough to notice the engraving in the metal under it, so he assumed that she was talking about the stone...though he would have thought someone like her would know their gemstones by now.

Aamori shook her head lightly after listening to him say to scratch off the symbol. That would work at least on the ones that the symbol was painted on; The engraved ones were going to be a little harder to rid of the symbol and it really was more work than it was worth. She laughed quietly while he poked fun at the symbol going to people's heads. "You might want to be careful with that comb. You don't need your head getting too big. Your hair won't grow with your head and then you'll look funny without enough hair to cover your head, then no girl will ever be interested in you." She said jokingly. She sighed softly when he said he'd never understand it and honestly he didn't have to understand a thing. She looked at him after he put his arm around her shoulders. "It isn't time for the tour yet... or is your memory going along with the size of your head?" She chuckled lightly as she left her room and started across the courtyard to the large doors.

Kyran was relieved that nothing else was brought up about the sash around Nanashi's head. He couldn't have been certain that Hikari was going to bring anything else up about it but he wanted to try and make sure that if she had meant to say anything else that maybe what he'd said had changed things. He looked back to Nanashi and nodded lightly when he answered his question. He guessed that wasn't all that surprising. He glanced over to Hikari briefly when she started to comment about something being pretty. He continued to stand there when he finally noticed the ring. When he took it off and held it out for Hikari he took a few steps closer so that he could look at it a little while Hikari did. He usually wasn't really interested in jewelery but he could help being curious about this ring. He thought he'd seen another ring very similar to it before but he couldn't be sure since he'd never really seen the ring he was thinking about up close. "Hmm..." He really had wished that he'd seen the ring up closer now that he was thinking about it. He glanced over to Nanashi. "Where did you get it?" He asked curiously. Depending on the answer to that he could be a little more sure of the ring.

LaRae moved over to sit down on the couch after Hikari started asking about the ring that Nanashi had. That was much better than her asking about the sash. She shook her head slightly now that she was thinking about it. Hikari was the only one in the room right now who didn't have any knowledge about what was under that sash. If was probably better that she didn't know too. She'd more than likely ask a lot of questions and probably want to know how it worked or something, that is if she hadn't already read about eyes like that in a book somewhere.

Kanone gasped in mock horror when she said that his hair wouldn't grow. "Oh the horror! Whatever will I do without this mop!?" he said with a laugh, "Well I guess it doesn't really matter, I don't need too many girls being interested. One at a time is plenty." He snickered and then shook his head. "Oh, fine fine, run your errands then show me around...special lady." he said playfully. He keep his arm around her shoulders until he reached the doors and then stepped forward to open one. He held it for her and motioned dramatically for her to exit the building before him and then stepped out after her while pulling the door shut behind him. "Alright....now........where're we goin'?" he asked with a slight laugh.

Nanashi watched as Hikari and Kyran started looking at the ring and tilted his head slightly. He didn't really know what was so interesting about it. It was a nice looking ring...well maybe a little too nice for someone like him to have. He nearly cringed when Kyran asked him where he'd gotten it. His first thought was that Kyran thought he'd stolen it from someone as that was what most half breeds were considered; little thieves. It wasn't like they could get by too many other ways in a world like this. Thankfully he seemed to think before he answered. Kyran sounded more curious than accusing. He sighed softly. "...My...my mother gave it to me..." he said quietly, "It was hers."

Hikari glanced back to Nanashi when he said that it belonged to his mother and then smiled slightly. She looked at the ring again and then looked up to Kyran while she held it up a little. "What does this look like to you?" she asked as she pointed to the gem again. "See the engraving? Is that an eye?" she asked curiously, glancing over to Nanashi briefly.

Nanashi blinked and sat up a little again. "...What engraving?"

Aamori shook her head a little and then looked at him curiously. "One at a time, huh?" She paused. "Does that mean a girl finally stopped looking at you like a brother or are you just imagining that?" She asked with a soft laugh. She was going to open the door herself but since Kanone had gone ahead of her to open it she refrained. Though, after his overly dramatic motioning of her to exit she really had wished that she'd grabbed the door instead. She smiled a little and shook her head as she passed through the door and then waited for him to shut the door. "We'll I'm going to see the woman who makes clothes for me.." She paused. "..And I think you're following." She said as she started to walk away from the building. She had turned to the left and started around the building part way before she came to another path that lead through the three districts just like the one that went from the docks to the front of the training building. She went down that path until the merchant district was just about to start then started along the left side again following just behind the district until she came to a fancier shop. One that was able to afford to upgrade to an actual building. There were a couple of those misplaced throughout the whole district but most of the shops were those little tables with the cloth tops. She paused at the back door to the shop and finally thought to check and make sure that she hadn't lost Kanone. It wasn't easy to get lost from where she'd started to where she was now, considering the whole first circle surrounding the training building was just a park with a few of the palm trees and flowering bushes. "Do you want to stay here, or come inside?" She paused. "This shouldn't take too long." She said as she glanced back to the door for a moment.

Kyran hadn't once thought that Nanashi had stolen the ring from anyone. He didn't really think that Nanashi had it in him to steal anything and if he did steal anything at all it'd probably be food before a piece of jewelery. He looked at the ring again for a moment when Nanashi had answered his question. Hearing that it was his mothers ring made sense as to why he had the ring, especially since it looked too small for a mans ring. When Hikari asked him about the the engraving and held the ring up a little he of course tried to take a better look at it. He reached up, not bothering to take the ring from her, but he did move the ring and her hand a little so that he could see better. "An eye...?" He mumbled to himself as he looked at what she'd been talking about. Well, it certainly did look like an eye and if that was the case than the ring was probably the same as he'd been thinking. Especially considering he'd only ever seen these types of rings on Shaman's of the fire clan. Well, maybe he could have been wrong but his first instinct was that the ring was the same as the one those Shaman wore. He finally let go of her hand and looked at her for a moment when he realized that he hadn't answered her. "Oh... um.. yeah, it does kind of look like an eye." He answered and then looked at Nanashi. He wanted to ask a few other questions but he wasn't really sure that he wanted to try and bring it up in front of Hikari and LaRae.

Kanone grinned slightly when she asked him about the girls. "Well, I dunno...have they?" he asked with a soft laugh. "I'm not in their heads." He nodded to her when she said that she was going to see the woman who made her clothes. Well, he kind of gathered that, though he didn't really know where that was. He rolled his eyes slightly and then started after her once she got moving, trying to be careful to stick close and not get lost, though he had a feeling he'd have a hard time losing her in that dress. He stuck to her side all the way to the building that she was going to and then started to look around a little until she asked him if he wanted to go in or stay here. "Umm...I'll go in." he said with a shrug.

Hikari nodded slightly when Kyran confirmed what she thought and then looked back to the ring again for a moment before she passed it back to Nanashi once Kyran had let her hand go. "Here..." she said softly. She stood there for a moment and then smiled again, "Well, do you need anything?" she asked finally, "Do you think you can eat? I can go get you something."

Nanashi reached up to take the ring again and then stared down at the gem while he held it. He sighed softly when he saw what they were talking about and then finally slipped the ring back onto his slender finger. He looked back up to Hikari again when she asked if he needed anything. "Um...I don't...know... I...guess I could try?" he muttered unsurely. "...I'm...a little thirsty, I guess..." He would so much rather get up and do these things himself, he hated having anyone else do it for him.

Hikari smiled slightly, "Alright, I'll back in a few minutes." she told him before she started toward the door. She guessed she could ask the cooks to make him something easy on the stomach since she was pretty sure that he hadn't eaten in a few days and probably wasn't up to too much of a hassle trying to eat. Once she left the room she started back around the hallway to the room they were using to gather up the dirty plates since she was heading that way anyway. She stacked them on top of one another and then headed back to the kitchen again. This time she left the door slightly ajar so it would be easier to open on her way out. She didn't want to risk spilling anything since she had a feeling a glass of water would be harder to juggle than plates. She sighed softly as she sat the plates on the counter and then glanced over it with a slight smile.

Aamori nodded slightly when he answered that he'd come inside. That was probably better than standing at the back door the whole time and getting strange looks from passerby's. She reached down and started to open the door but she made sure to jimmy the handle three times before actually opening the door. The woman who lived here had a special lock set in place on the door so that people she didn't like couldn't just come in the back door and she didn't have to have a key either. If the knob wasn't jimmied to the left three times as soon as the door was to be opened a lock would fall into place. If one wasn't paying attention than they wouldn't have been the wiser and it'd more than likely just look like she was being weird about opening the door. She smiled slightly once she had the door open a crack and then pressed it the rest of the way open so that she could step inside. Once she was inside she held the door open and purposely motioned over dramatically for Kanone to step inside. After he'd come inside she shut the door behind them and then turned back around. The door had opened up into a back storage room hidden by another door. Only a couple people had been given the trick to opening the back door and that was mostly for 'special' people. Then it opened up into the storage room so that while the woman had customers they weren't being freaked out by seeing an Elder in training in the woman's shop. Another reason why she'd gone in the back rather than around the front. No one had really been aware that this woman made the clothes for Aamori and if they had than she'd probably be so busy with orders that she wouldn't be able to get anything done. She stood there quietly for a moment and then stepped closer to the other door. She reached down and started to crack the door open enough for her to peek out and see if the woman was right there and if she had any customers. She was a little relieved to see that there wasn't anyone out there with her, at least for now. She opened the door a little more and stared over at the woman. "Sanura... hey... are you free?" She asked while waving her hand a little to get the woman's attention. She was an older woman, a good deal older than her mother was. She was just barely old enough to be her grandmother but she looked nothing of her age. That was more than likely because her skin still looked young, her hair was still as nice as Aamori's and she had a younger glow about her. Though, once she got to walking a little you could tell by the way she moved that she'd seen quite a few years in her lifetime.

Sanura turned and looked back towards the door when she heard Aamori's voice and she smiled seeing her peeking through the door. "Why hello there, dear." She said with a pleasant smile. "Let me lock the front door and you can come out of the storage room." She told her and then started across the store front over to the door to lock it up tight. She then pulled down the blind on the door and then moved over to the windows and did the same before turning around and motioning for her to come out of the room. "C'mon now, it's clear." She said as she started back over to the counter. "Are you here checking on those clothes already?" She asked curiously. She remembered that Aamori had asked her to hurry with them but a day certainly wasn't enough to finish everything.

Aamori nodded to Sanura when she said to let her lock the door and she watched as she went around shutting the blinds. She really hated to make Sanura do that but it was kind of her own choice. She preferred being a small shop that usually only repeat customers came to and she got most of her money from making clothes for the Elders. Aamori pushed the storage room door open more once Sanura had said it was okay and then started to step out into the shop, turning slightly to look back at Kanone briefly. She then turned back to Sanura and walked straight over to her and hugged her lightly. "Sorry to bother you again so suddenly, Sanura." She said as she pulled back. "But yes, I wanted to see how the clothes were coming." She paused. "My friend, the one you're making them for is kind of stuck in pajamas until you've finished." She paused. "And I was curious... have you finished anything else?"

Sanura put her arms around Aamori when she came over to hug her. She smiled down at her lightly and then listened to her about her friend. "Well it sounds like I need to hurry up and finish than, don't I?" She said with a quiet chuckle. "I'm not far from done, dear. So don't worry." She assured her. "As for anything else, of course I've finished other things..." She paused glancing with a smile over to Kanone briefly. "I assume since you're not with your usual escort that you want to change, then, am I right?" She asked as she looked back to Aamori. "Alright, well, I'll let you have one of the things I made you if your new escort will introduce himself." She said with a nod.

Kyran waited until Hikari started to leave the room. He glanced to the door briefly to make sure that she was gone before looking back to Nanashi and eying that ring of his again. He had questions and he wasn't even sure that Nanashi could answer them but he didn't want to go asking in front of Hikari just for safety precautions. He figured that LaRae was a little bit safer since she must have already known about the eye and all. He looked at Nanashi and then stepped a little closer to the bed. "...Do you have any idea how that ring came into your mothers possession?" He asked curiously. "I guess I mean... was it her ring from the start or was it handed down to her like it was handed to you?" He wasn't wasting too much time with the questions mostly because he knew that Hikari wasn't going to be very long. "Then, have you seen similar rings like that one before?" He questioned.

LaRae continued to sit on the couch quietly. Though she looked over at Hikari when she started asking if Nanashi needed anything. She stared at her briefly and then turned her eyes away. She waited until Hikari had left the room and then sighed quietly. She guessed it really wasn't that big a deal, it was in Hikari's nature to help others after all. She did prefer to be the one to help him though and she hadn't even gotten the chance to ask what he needed since those two had shown up when they did. She leaned over on the arm of the couch and looked over at Kyran when he started asking questions. She tilted her head slightly. She hadn't thought very much of the ring herself, just that it was kind of pretty and here Kyran had more questions. Was there more to that ring than just a piece of jewelery? She gave a soft sigh and just sat quietly.

Annan lifted his head when he heard the plates set down on the counter and he started back over towards the plates. Breakfast was finished now and he had just been cleaning up a little so he wasn't really doing anything important. He stepped over and picked up the plates to go drop them in a sink before returning to Hikari. "You're back already, don't tell me you're still hungry?" He said with a laugh. "What can I get you this time?"

Kanone half smiled to Aamori and then tilted his head slightly while she started messing with the handle. He watched her until she finally opened the door and then chuckled softly before he stepped through the door after her. He guessed that was probably pay back for his melodramatic exit at the training building. He glanced around for a few moments once they were inside and raised an eyebrow. ...So is it me or did we just come through the wrong door? he thought as his gaze shifted from the room to Aamori. Well, he guessed she had a reason for doing this that he didn't know about. He stayed quiet while she went to the door and flagged down the shop owner. After a moment he shifted a little closer since he heard the blinds being puled and raised an eyebrow. He cast a look down to Aamori about the time that she looked back at him. He sighed softly and slowly stepped out of the storage room only to stand almost awkwardly behind Aamori while he glanced around the room. He was barely paying attention to what was being said here, though he did glance to Sanura when she commented about Aamori wanting to change since she wasn't with her usual escorts. Oh boy, don't get me in trouble, girlie... he thought as he shook his head. He just hoped that her changing clothes didn't mean he was going to get chewed out by someone later for letting her. He blinked when Sanura said something about her new escort introducing himself. He actually looked around for a second and then blinked. "Oh, me." he said with a slight laugh, "I'm Kanone, Aamori's temporary tag-a-long." he told her with a smile as he glanced over her her briefly. His gaze shifted back to Sanura again and he offered her another smile and a little bow that caused his hair to fall over his shoulders and into his face. He straightened up and blew his hair out of his face before he shook his head and tucked it back behind his ears again. "...Okay seriously, can I please have my hair tie back?" he said as he held his hand out to Aamori. He liked having long hair, but he really didn't like to leave it down. It looked better when it was put up anyway.

Nanashi glanced at the door as Hikari left and then shook his head slightly. He was kind of relieved that she was gone though. He liked Hikari well enough, but she did ask a few too many questions sometimes. His attention shifted back to Kyran when he started to ask about the ring. He sighed softly and then smiled weakly as he looked at him. "...Filling in for her?" he asked with a soft, good natured chuckle. It was easier to talk to Kyran or LaRae about these things so he didn't really mind so much. He glanced down to the ring again and then shook his head. "...I really don't know." he said quietly, "I can't even remember her name, let alone where she got this. I only vaguely remembered her giving it to me." he said honestly. When he asked if he'd ever seen any like it before he thought for a moment and then nodded slightly. "...One. Niamh, my aunt, has one like it. Other than that...no, I haven't really seen any others. Then again I really didn't get out much so I guess I wouldn't have." he said quietly as he glanced back up to Kyran again. "...Why?"

Hikari smiled at Annan again when he commented about her still being hungry and then laughed softly. "No, no, I'm quite satisfied." she assured him, "Actually I just needed some water and something light on the stomach. One of our companions has been sick and I don't believe he has eaten in a couple of days. He still isn't feeling that well but I think he was going to try to eat something... He...didn't say anything specific and he isn't picky so I guess I'll let you decide what would be best." she said with a slight smile.

Aamori nodded to Sanura when she assumed that she had wanted to change. Well of course she did. She didn't get very many chances to change out of her elder clothes so she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity. Not to mention she'd much rather show him around a little without drawing a lot of attention to herself and if she wasn't in her elder clothes than she went a bit more unnoticed. She looked over at Kanone after Sanura said she could have one of the outfits if he introduced himself. She chuckled lightly when he looked around and then finally introduced himself as her temporary tag-a-long. She shifted her glance back over to Sanura and smiled a bit. "Is everything where you usually keep it?" She asked already quite eager to change her clothes. She looked at Kanone again when she heard him ask if he could have his hair tie back. She lifted up her hand a little and opened it to look at the tie. She smiled slightly and acted like she was going to give it back to him and then put it around her wrist and shook her head. "I think you'll get it back when you promise to stop patting my head." She told him with a slight chuckle.

Sanura laughed quietly when she saw the boy looking around and then smiled when he introduced himself. "It's nice to meet you, Kanone." She paused. "My name is Sanura." She said with a smile. She looked back to Aamori having heard her question and then nodded lightly. "Of course, dear. I don't go moving things that often." She then pointed to a door on the far side of the shop that opened up into a small hallway that held a set of stairs and another door that opened into a private work room. "You know where I keep everything, go ahead and pick something out."

Aamori didn't stand there very long after Sanura gave her the okay to go pick something out. She practically scurried over to the door and slipped inside into the private work room so she could change. She was in the room for a short while, mostly having trouble trying to decide what she wanted to wear. She was surprised to see just how much Sanura had made for her. She finally decided on a pale blue dress that could easily be mistaken for white. The dress had long slightly puffed sleeves and the dress fell to just above her knees. The top of the dress scooped from one shoulder to the other just across the top of her breasts with a ruffled detail that repeated at the bottom of her sleeves and then again a little at the bottom of the dress. After she had the dress on she went to dig in the bottom of the closet in the work room to find another pair of shoes. There was no way she could wear her boots with this type of dress. She finally pulled out a pair of simple sandals and slipped them on before starting to head back towards the door to leave the room. At times like this she was really glad that Sanura liked to make clothes for her and kept plenty of things to choose from along with an array of shoes. She left her other clothes laying on the chair in the room and started out back into the store front.

Kyran looked a little embarrassed for a moment when Nanashi asked if he was filling in for her since he'd started asking questions. He stood there and listened to him quietly while he answered his questions. He nodded slightly once he had finished and then thought for a moment. His attention shifted back to Nanashi when he heard him ask why and he sighed softly. "Oh, um... I'm pretty sure that I've seen them before, that's all." He answered.

Annan smiled and nodded lightly. "Okay, water and something light on the stomach. It'll be a few minutes." He repeated mostly to himself out of habit. He went and retrieved a glass first and filled it with water before returning it to the counter for Hikari. After he set the water down he turned back around and started to head back into the pantry to start grabbing a couple things. The only thing at the moment that he could think of that was light on the stomach and wouldn't take too incredibly long to make was soup. It also was pretty easy to eat. Once he'd grabbed everything that he wanted he returned to the cook top and started getting ready cook.

Kanone smiled and nodded to Sanura when she introduced herself. "I heard." he said with a soft laugh. He started to reach over to take his hair tie back from Aamori and then blinked when she put it on her wrist. "Ahh Heeeey!" he whined. He was about to continue but Aamori had already started to scurry toward the steps. "...Well....crap." he sighed and ran his fingers back trough his hair again. He glanced over to Sanura after a moment and half smiled. "...Wouldn't happen to have a spare one laying around anywhere would you?" he asked with a slight laugh. "I think the little she-devil is going to keep mine forever."

Nanashi tilted his head slightly at Kyran and then nodded slightly. "...Oh." he said quietly, "...I didn't know it meant anything." he said quietly. He started down at the ring again and then closed his eyes while he sank down into the bed a little more. "...Niamh is one of the high priestesses. Is it something to do with that?" he asked. He felt kind of stupid asking someone from the thunder clan about his own clan, but Kyran seemed well versed in knowledge so he thought he might at least know that. If that was true then that was one more thing he had to piece together about his mother.

Hikari smiled and nodded to confirm what he had repeated. "Alright." she said lightly when he said that it would take a few minutes. She didn't mind waiting, really. She just stretched up on her toes a little and clasped her hands behind her back before he came back down on the balls of her feet and waited. She wasn't in too big of a hurry so she didn't mind standing there.

Sanura watched with a slight smile while Aamori ran off to change. Seeing her so happy about putting on a new outfit really did make her day half of the time. Now, if only her own granddaughter really cared that much about the clothes that she made for her. She sighed softly and then glanced back over to Kanone when he asked about a spare hair tie. She shook her head lightly. "No, not just laying around." She paused. "They're upstairs." She laughed quietly hearing him say that he thought 'the she-devil' was going to keep his hair tie forever. "She said you'd get it back, now when exactly is up to you, apparently." She said and then glanced over to the doorway when she noticed Aamori was coming back into the room. "That dress looks lovely on you, dear."

Aamori stepped back into the store room and then looked over at Sanura since she'd noticed her first and smiled after what she had said. "It's really nice, thank you for making it." She said while she stood there. "...It was a little hard to tie the back by myself though." She commented quietly. The back of the dress had a circle where her wings fit through. There was a ribbon that lined the circle and had to be tied in a bow at the back of her neck. That was pretty difficult to tie on her own but she did manage to at least get it tied.

Sanura stepped away from the counter and started to move over to Aamori. She sighed softly when she heard her comment on the tie at the back of the dress. Some how she knew that was going to be an issue. She moved around behind her and pushed her hair aside to make sure that Aamori had tied it tight enough. She dropped her hair back into place and smiled as she set her hand on Aamori's shoulder. "Try not to let Hisako throw this one out, okay? I really like this one." She said as she released her shoulder and started to turn to go back into that hall that Aamori had come out of. "I'll be back in a few minutes." She said as she started back to the room that Aamori had changed in. She was going to get Aamori's elder clothes together and grab what she had finished of the other outfit and stuff Aamori had asked for.

Kyran looked back at Nanashi and then to the ring for a moment. He wasn't really that surprised hearing that his aunt was a high priestess since she had one of the rings. His knowledge wasn't perfect but he was sure that he had a rudimentary knowledge that would suffice to answer any questions that Nanashi had. "Yeah, I think so." He started. "If I remember correctly, I think all of the priests and priestesses from your clan wear those rings... or at least everyone I've seen the ring on has been of that social standing." He sighed softly. "...Your aunt didn't explain anything about the rings to you?" He asked thinking that surely his aunt would've been able to give him more accurate answers.
