Marius nodded slightly after Nero said that he was alive at least. "That is always a good sign," he said with a weak smile. He glanced down to Nero's leg when he mentioned the extra weight and then nodded slightly. "I see...," he said softly, "Well...let's hope it feels a little better by tomorrow. I can take a better look at it tomorrow if you like. I'm sorry, I should have stayed and helped you with those earlier." He sighed softly as he laid one arm on the table and then propped the other up to rest his head on his fingertips. He was silent for a few moments before he just chuckled softly to himself. "...I certainly feel like a grandpa tonight... Kanone won't let me worry over him, so I guess the rest of your are stuck with me." He turned his head to the side to glance at Nero, "...He told me most of what went on today, though I only understood about half of what he said." He smiled again weakly and then sighed, "I suppose 'rough' doesn't even really cover everything that happened today. I'm glad you all made it back... I'm just sorry that you all couldn't have gotten off more easily." After a moment he gave Nero another gentle smile, "...And by the way... I'm sure Kanone will be just fine. Hikari seemed to have gotten most everything healed before she collapsed. He's already back to being his usual self and seems thoroughly annoyed that no one would let him get up." He chuckled softly, "There isn't any lasting damage from that little mishap, he just has a nasty bruise." Marius barely realized that he was talking so much, or...well, a lot for him. He was nowhere near as talkative as Kanone could be, but considering how rare it was that he even got out to speak to anyone he would talk more when he had the chance, especially if he had things on his mind. At least he was very soft-spoken and possessed one of those voices that could almost lull you to sleep. He was trying not to wake Kyran just yet, though he did plan to get him up soon so he would go get in a bed. The poof guy had already taken quite a beating for the sound of it, so there was no need to have him sleeping at the kitchen table.

Hikari still didn't seem too responsive, though her eyebrows furrowed a bit when her shorts were being removed, though her eyes remained closed. The alcohol drew more of a response from her as she twisted her face in a grimace and whined quietly while her fingers curled around the bedsheets weakly. She turned her head just slightly away from the stinging pain before finally starting to relax a little once Levana had eased up on the alcohol. Luckily for Levana with her body's natural healing abilities, the process would probably run a little faster than it would have otherwise. Without the extra help it would have taken her wounds longer than usual to heal, for her clan at least, considering how drained she was and how deep the wounds were.

Nero nodded his head weakly when Marius said 'lets hope it feels a little better by tomorrow'. He sure did hope that it would feel better in the morning but he was fairly certain it would still ache tomorrow, especially while he walked on it. He shook his head slightly after hearing him say that he should've stayed and helped him. "No, it's alright. I took care of it." He told him quietly. He glanced over at him briefly while he was talking. He didn't really mind being stuck with Marius. So long as he didn't talk his ear off for hours on end and keep him from going to sleep than he wasn't really going to complain. "Rough is a pretty rudimentary choice of words for what happened today." He commented. "The walking sushi was quite annoying and a little too quick on it's feet." He paused and sighed heavily. "Kanone only got hurt so badly because the sushi moved out of the way and I couldn't stop my attack before it collided with him." He glanced away. He was still a bit mad at himself for even hitting Kanone. He hadn't meant to and he if he had tried to move the attack he probably would've done worse damage to him. He kept his eyes averted and nodded weakly when Marius said that he was sure that Kanone would be just fine. "...That's good." He muttered quietly. He was at least a little happy to hear that there was nothing more than a nasty bruise.

Levana continued to keep her hands together with the dome over top of Hikari's wound. She'd do her best to heal it as completely as possible but considering the depth of the injury she wasn't certain that she'd get it all. IF anything the outermost part of the injury would be fully healed leaving just the deepest parts to heal on their own. She continued to work on Hikari's hip until it looked like there had never been an injury there to begin with. Once she was finished she started to separate her hands which caused the aura and the dome to dissipate. She sighed softly and let her hands rest in her lap for a moment while she glanced over the area where the would had been. It was likely still there to some degree, it just wasn't visible any longer. She sat there for a moment taking steady breaths. Healing didn't drain her or anything but she wasn't used to doing it and she hadn't healed anything in quite some time. After she relaxed for a moment she reached over to the clothing she'd set beside the first aid kit and grabbed hold of the sleep pants. She shifted slightly and started to slip Hikari's feet into the legs of the pants before she began sliding them up her legs. Once she got the pants up to her rear she shifted again and used one arm to slide under her legs to lift up her rear so that she could use the other hand to pull the sleep pants on all the way. After they were on she set Hikari's legs down again and eyed the shirts that she was wearing. She was pretty sure that it would probably be more comfortable to have them removed and replaced with the pajama shirt but she wasn't sure she was ready to struggle with the dead weight. It was pretty much like dressing a life sized doll and that definitely wasn't easy.

Marius sighed softly when Nero told him how Kanone had been hurt. Kanone had already told him that in his long-winded overview, but he hadn't really picked up on it all that well with everything else. After he'd said that it was good that Kanone wasn't hurt too badly anymore he straightened up in the chair again and then moved his hand over to rest down on Nero's shoulder, rubbing it lightly. "I'm sure everyone knows you would have avoided it if you could," he said gently, "That's why these things are called accidents, it wasn't intentional." Luckily Marius was at least one of those really understanding people. There were some that accent or no might have flipped out about something like that, especially after seeing how bad it had been. After a moment he started to stand up again and then lowered his hand again, "It's getting late...you can go to bed when you like." He glanced over to Kyran and then half smiled and laughed softly, "I suppose we should remind Kyran he's still in the kitchen." He walked around the chairs until he was standing by Kyran and then placed his hand on his shoulder, giving him a gentle shake. "Kyran...go to bed," he said gently, "No need to fall asleep at the table."

Nero sat quietly and glanced over at Marius after he spoke. It was kind of reassuring to know that Marius wasn't upset at him or anything for accidentally hitting Kanone like he had. He watched him stand up and then nodded his head slightly when he was told he could go to bed if he liked. Now that he'd heard how Kanone was he was more than ready to go find a bed and crawl in it. He wasn't too opposed to just leaving Kyran asleep at the table. After all it wasn't like there were any more rooms here to sleep in and there wasn't even a couch so he had already planned to try one of the other houses. It'd be easier getting over there without having to keep an eye on Kyran. He sighed softly and started to stand up from the chair he was in.

Kyran barely responded at first. He'd heard his name and continued to lay there with his head against his arms. He finally started to come around, lifting his head a little from his arms. He hadn't even realized that he had fallen asleep, he'd thought he was just resting his eyes for a few moments. He started to sit up straight and winced a little before glancing over at Marius once he'd noticed how close he was. "...What is it?" He asked quietly since he hadn't picked up on anything that Marius had said other than his name.

Nero shook his head lightly after Kyran finally sat up. "He said, go to bed." He paused. "You fell asleep at the table." He told him then started to move away from the table and head towards the front door. "I'm going to go ahead and go to bed I guess." He paused. "I'm just going to go to the next house over." He told them before he continued to the front door and slipped out onto the porch.

Levana took the time to fight both shirts off of Hikari and struggle to get her into the pajama shirt. After she had finished buttoning up the front of the pajama shirt she started to climb down from the bed. She patted her hands against her legs lightly and sighed softly as she glanced back at Hikari. At least that was all taken care of. She was starting to think that it was a good thing she'd been here when they got here. She could only imagine how embarrassing it would have been if Marius had to tend to her injury. Though she was fairly certain Marius wouldn't have gone to the extent she had of making sure Hikari ended up in clean clothes. She gathered the dirty clothes and walked them over to the dresser, setting them down on top for now. She wasn't sure what Hikari would want to do with them and there wasn't the proper cleaning supplies here to try and get the blood stains out. She returned to the bed long enough to pick up the first aid kit. She carried that over to the dresser as well before she looked back over at the bed. She guessed she was almost done. There was really only one thing left to do. She smiled softly and proceeded back to the right side of the bed. She slid her arm under Hikari's legs and lifted her up a little so that she could pull the covers out from under her. She struggled with that for a moment but managed to pull the covers back enough that she could set Hikari's legs down and then cover her up. Now that she was completely finished she smiled softly and started over to the bedroom door to slip outside.

Marius tilted his head a little when Kyran responded to him, obviously clueless as to what he'd just said. He smiled weakly, his hand still resting on Kyran's shoulder, though just as he opened his mouth to respond, Nero answered for him. He glanced over to Nero briefly and nodded when he said that he would be in the next house over. He watched him get moving and then turned his gaze back to Kyran again. He sighed softly and shook his head a little, bed sounded pretty good to him, too, but he still had a few things to take care of...like washing off Kanone's blood and getting Celestine somewhere indoors. "...Go on, Kyran, I'm sure a bed would be more comfortable than a wooden table." He offered him another slight smile and finally lowered his hand from his shoulder, "You've all had a long day, I think you're earned time to rest." He glanced up when he heard the door open to the bedroom and looked back to see Levana leaving the room. He turned a little more to face her and then tilted his head slightly. "How is she?" he asked calming. He didn't know if she was needing help with something or if she was already finished, though he wasn't even really sure how long it had been since he'd left the room in the first place.

Celestine's ear twitched slightly when he heard the door open and close, though he only raised his head a little and then laid it right back down without even looking to see who it was. He sighed softly and glanced down to Aamori briefly before he closed his eyes again. He could almost fall asleep right here like this, but he had a feeling no one would let Aamori stay right here...and he had no intention of going inside right now.

Nero didn't bother looking around too much after he'd stepped foot on the porch. He really could care less if anyone else was outside. He headed straight down the steps while trying to mind his one leg. It hurt every time he took a step so the less weight put down the better. Now... walking in sand, that was going to be a royal pain in the ass since sand wasn't a flat surface and it moved under the weight of ones foot. Regardless he knew he only had to walk to the other house and it wasn't all that far from the one Marius had laid claim to, so it wasn't the end of the world.

Kyran glanced over to Nero briefly when he'd spoken and a slightly surprised look appeared on his face momentarily. He really hadn't thought he'd fallen asleep and being woken up at the dinning room table of all places was more than a little embarrassing. He looked back to Marius when he told him to go on and nodded weakly. He should get himself into a bed rather than camp out on the table, especially with his back hurting the way it was. He pushed the chair back a little and stood up, ignoring the ache in his back while in the process of scooting the chair back under the table. He figured he'd just follow after Nero for now. He was already tired and he'd thought it easier to go somewhere that he knew there would be an open bed rather than look for one here. He started to head towards the front door himself, not wanting to get too far behind Nero though he paused once he heard Marius ask 'How is she'. He hadn't really thought a whole lot about it at the time but he hadn't seen Hikari since he'd come inside. He wasn't sure if that was who Marius had been referring to when he said 'she' but he thought it wouldn't hurt to stand at the door long enough to find out.

Levana made sure to shut the door quietly behind her. She looked up and over at Marius when she heard him ask how she was. She started away from the door, moving more so into the kitchen area closer to him. "She's fine." She said with a slight nod of her head. "I took care of the wound on her hip and cleaned her up a little." She told him. "After she gets enough sleep I think she'll be up and about with little to no pain at all." Or at least she hoped that was the case. She wouldn't really know for sure how well she did at healing Hikari until she heard from Hikari herself.

Kyran listened quietly for earmarks to tell him who they'd been talking about. Hearing it was an injury on the hip was enough to tell him that it was indeed Hikari they'd been talking about. He was at least glad that she'd been looked after and he did hope that Levana was right about her being in little to no pain at all once she was up and moving again. He really did dislike it a great deal whenever Hikari got hurt like she had today. He was aware that she couldn't use her own magic to heal herself so she had to let things heal the slow way and be in pain, where as she always jumped up and offered to heal anyone else who was hurt. It was a little unfair that no one else really knew healing magic. Celestine knew some but he didn't think it was to the same extent as Hikari. He sighed softly and reached for the door now that he'd heard how Hikari was and then slipped out onto the porch so that he could follow after Nero.

Marius nodded slightly in response to Levana's update. "That's good..." he said softly. He offered her a warm smile and then glanced to the front door as Kyran was heading out. He sighed softly and then looked back to Levana. "Thank you for staying to help," he started, "I appreciate it, I's sure everyone else does as well." He smiled at her again and then glanced to the door again, "I believe everyone has been taken care of... The only ones not heading for bed are Aamori and Celestine... I guess all that's left to do is get those two to retire and then we can get to bed ourselves." He had no idea how late it was by now, but he knew that it was well after dark. He had been ready for bed hours ago, though the adrenalin kept him awake before. Now that things were calming down he was really starting to feel tired again. "...I'm going to go see if I can catch Kanone asleep and clean him off a little... I will take care of Aamori if you like," he offered. He didn't know how eager Levana was to get home, but he knew that she seemed very fond of Aamori.

Celestine's ear twitched again when the door opened again, but this time he didn't even bother to raise his head when he heard the footsteps. He didn't really care who it was or what they were doing; he was sure if whoever it was needed him or Aamori they'd come say something. Otherwise, he wasn't really concerned. He guessed it was really getting pretty late, everyone was probably turning in for the night.

Levana glanced toward the front door herself when she heard the thunder dragon headed out. She let her eyes trail back to Marius when he said his thanks. She nodded her head lightly. "You don't have to thank me, Marius." She said with a small smile. "It's nice to be able to actually help others myself, so I was glad that I could be of some assistance." She wasn't thrilled that everyone was hurt like they were but she was happy she was able to help out. It'd been a while since she got to lift a finger herself to do anything for others. It wasn't even like the people under her didn't think she could do things like this herself, it was more a case of they didn't want her to have to lift a finger to do anything. Which was why most people would act for her rather than let her do it herself. Just about the only magic she got to use on a regular basis was the magic needed to call out Ama and that didn't even take very much. It was second nature to her now and so very easy. She nodded her head when Marius said that he believed everyone else had been taken care of, well, aside from Aamori and Celestine who had yet to go to bed. "I asked Celestine to keep an eye on Aamori, so they should still be on the porch." She sighed quietly. "Aamori seemed extremely tired when they arrived and I think it's slightly more physically tired than anything. She had trouble walking up the steps by herself." She said quietly. She didn't think Marius knew where the two of them were really. Sure he'd over heard the conversation with Kanone earlier but that didn't mean that Celestine was right in the immediate area. At least with her tiny bit of knowledge he'd be aware that Celestine may not have gone very far if he was stuck babysitting Aamori. "Unfortunately I think I may have to leave Aamori in your very capable hands. It's well past my curfew and I wouldn't be surprised to see guards here any second." She chuckled lightly. "They're just a little over protective." She added. She would love to stay and help until the very last person had turned in for the night but she really did need to start heading back. She didn't need to leave any reason for the guard to come looking for her. They'd find this nice battered mess of young ones and not be too thrilled about her coming back later. She sighed softly and stepped over to Marius, setting her hand against his arm gently while reaching up to press her lips to his cheek lightly. "I'll come by in the morning sometime and check on everything." She said quietly before she stepped past him and started to head for the door. She probably wouldn't be too worried about checking back in the morning except she'd healed Hikari and wanted to make sure that had gone alright. Then on top of that Aamori was here and she'd want to check on her after she'd gotten some sleep.

Aamori hadn't budged a single inch the two times that the front door had opened and closed. She was pretty much oblivious to what was going on around her because she'd fallen asleep at some point while she was resting against Celestine. She hadn't meant to fall asleep by any means. She was quite enjoying how close she was getting to be to him and he hadn't pushed her away or shown any signs of discomfort with her being so close. So she really did want to take advantage of this time since she wasn't so sure it'd happen again any time soon or at all for that matter, and here she was asleep. Sleeping through the time she'd have loved to be awake for.... wonderful.

Marius returned Levana's smiled when she said that there was no need to thank her. Still, it seemed the proper thing to do, and he really was glad that she was here to help him out. He nodded to her again when she told him where he might find Celestine and Aamori. He had a good idea why Aamori was so tired...Kanone did say that she had drowned herself. That little grin crept back to his face again when Levana said that it was past her curfew. "Oh dear, we can't have that," he said playfully, "You're getting yourself into all kinds of mischief since I got here...first sneaking off, now missing your curfew, what's gotten into you?" Of course he was entirely joking, and it was obvious by his tone of voice and that little smile. He didn't mind her being here one bit, though he didn't want to interfere with anything. He lowered his head a little when she placed her hand on his arm and then smiled warmly to her when she kissed his cheek and said that she would be back in the morning. "I will be looking forward to it," he said softly. He watched her go around him and then turned to follow her to the doors since he had to go out anyway. He placed a hand gently on her shoulder once they reached the doors and smiled at her as he reached past her to open the door for her, just to be gentlemanly. "Goodnight," he said softly. He let her get outside and then stepped out behind her, not bothering to close the door behind him just yet considering that he would be going right back through it in a few minutes. He glanced over to the swing and then smiled again when he saw the way the two were sitting.

Celestine sighed softly when he heard the door open again, though this time he did raise his head again when he heard Marius's voice. He turned his head to look over to the two of them and then glanced back to Aamori, realizing that she was asleep already. He glanced away slyly then, his cheeks turning a light shade of pink. "...Goodnight...." he said quietly, directing the comment to Levana. He didn't look like eh was too far from joining Aamori in sleep. His eyes were only half open when he looked over to them.

Levana smiled back at Marius after he'd opened the door for her and she'd stepped out onto the porch. "Goodnight, Marius." She said quietly. She glanced over to the swing, mostly to make sure that Aamori was still there. She was a little surprised to even see Celestine sitting there with her, and apparently she'd fallen asleep. Or at least it looked that way from where she was standing. Considering the way Celestine had been earlier, standing in the sand after everyone else had come inside... well, she was surprised to see him anywhere but where he'd been when she stepped inside. She smiled softly when she heard Celestine say goodnight and then nodded her head lightly. "Goodnight to you too, Celestine." She said so he could hear and then she turned back to Marius. She inched a little closer to him and turned her head away slightly so that Celestine wouldn't be able to see her speaking, given he'd have to be paying attention to her first. "If you have to... stress the windows to him. They're big enough he could probably sit in and the cross ventilation is nice." She whispered as quietly as possible. She remembered hearing that Celestine was extremely claustrophobic and she knew that Kanone really did want him inside tonight. She couldn't really think of anything else to use to try and talk him into the house. She smiled slightly and backed up a bit before she stepped over to the stairs and started down them so that she could make her way for the bridge.

Aamori still didn't respond to the door being opened. Though she did stir very slightly thanks to the voices. She shifted her arm across him slightly and nuzzled her head against him once more. She clearly was in no hurry to be woken up even if it was just from the voices of them saying goodnight. If she needed to be woken up however it wouldn't take too much really. A couple good shakes along with speaking her name ought to do it.

Marius blinked and looked at Levana when she came to speak to him and listened silently about the windows. He smiled warmly and then gave her a slight nod as he mouthed a silent 'thank you' to her. He honestly hadn't a good idea about how to go about getting him inside, really. He watched as she started off of the steps and then moved over to the swing slowly and looked down to Aamori. He lowered his hand to her shoulder and looked her over, but she looked so content he really didn't have the heart to intentionally wake her. Instead he pulled his hand back and laid it to rest on Celestine's head gently. "...Come inside," he said quietly.

Celestine nodded slightly when Levana said goodnight to him and then closed his eyes again. He wasn't really paying attention to the two of them now, at least not until Marius came up to them. He looked over at him while he was looking at Aamori and then raised his eyes to his face when he told him to come inside. He didn't move for a moment and then just shook his head weakly.

Marius sighed when Celestine declined and simply ran his hand down his hair and onto his shoulder. "Celestine...you'll catch a cold if you say out here like this," he said gently. "Come on, now... there's nothing wrong with the house at all... see this window? There are two in every room, both completely open. He sighed softly when Celestine only shook his head again, apparently unfazed by the windows. "...Please, Celestine? I don't like you sleeping outside...but Kanone was the one who wanted me to ask you." He thought he would try it at least once more. He wouldn't force Celestine to come inside, but he wasn't giving up too easily.

Celestine glanced up to Marius again and then sighed softly before he turned his face over to Aamori. He really didn't want to go in at all, but he guessed if that was what Kanone wanted right now, he would do it. He was honestly surprised that Kanone wanted him inside so badly, normally he didn't seem to care what he did. Finally he nodded weakly and then sighed as he raised his arm from Aamori's and carefully started to set her upright while holding her so that she didn't fall.

Marius smiled when Celestine finally agreed and then moved to pick up Aamori once Celetine had freed himself from her. He wrapped one arm behind her back and the other he tucked under her legs before he lifted her up and moved away from the swing. He had been trying everything not to wake her, and he hoped that he had succeeded. He had no cares to walk all the way to the other house to put her down anyway, so he just made his way back to the doors, not even checking to see if Aamori had woken up. The girl was obviously exhausted, and he didn't mind carrying her that much; she was a tad lighter than Hikari had been at least. Once inside he walked all the way back to the room that he had claimed for himself and slipped inside, glad that he'd left the door open earlier. He simply moved over to the bed and laid Aamori down gently, though once he put her down he took the time to maneuver her little make-shift pack around so that she was no longer laying on the knot. He fumbled with it for a few moments and then managed to get it untied. He slipped all of the fabric out from under her and then folded it all up together almost in a ball and went to set it in the night stand for now. He didn't know what she had in here, but he could only assume it was the relic and he knew that he couldn't touch it. He then came back to the side of the bed again and pulled the covers over Aamori, making it simply considering that he already had them pulled back for himself later. "...Goodnight...." he whispered, mostly out of habit. He always said goodnight when he put someone to bed. Once that was done he started to leave the door, closing the door all but a crack behind him as he left. His eyes wandered the house and he sighed heavily when he didn't see Celestine anywhere, but the door was closed, so he assumed that he had come inside. Either way, he still had one more thing to do before the night was out, so he started back down to Kanone's room.

Celestine got up just a few moments after Marius had lifted Aamori and then followed him tot he door, though he hovered there for a minute or two before he stepped inside and pulled the door shut behind him. Once he was inside he stood there for a few moments, taking in a couple of deep breaths. The house was spacey, but it still didn't sit well with him. He wanted to stay outside for whatever reason it was. Eventually he managed to make his way over to the right hand door and peek inside since it was the only one open. He was relieved to see Kanone inside and rather quickly moved into the room and up to the side of the bed to sit down. He saw the nasty bruise on Kanone's chest but otherwise he looked a lot better. He was breathing easily and everything seemed more or less normal except for the blood all over him. After a moment he seemed to have the same general urge as Marius and got up to go check the second door in the room, thinking that it might be a bathroom. He was glad he was right since he didn't want to go searching for it. He wasted little time inside turning on the water and letting it get warm while he unfolded a cloth from the basket and then ran it under the water until it was drenched before he cut the water and wrung out the wash cloth. He then moved back tot he bedroom and sat down beside Kanone again while he began very gently wiping down his face to clean away the blood.

Marius came to a stop just as he got to the door and then smiled slightly when he saw Celestine already in the room cleaning Kanone up a bit. He watched for a moment and then without a word turned to leave, moving back up to the other end of the house. He sighed quietly, already weary of being awake. With his bed occupied he simply moved to the back door and sat down slowly on one of the lounge chairs before he just stretched out and laid back. He knew he could have walked to the next house, but it hardly seemed worth the effort. Besides, he had fallen asleep in less comfortable locations. It wasn't five minutes after he had say down that he had already dozed off, his head handing slightly to the side against his shoulder. He had never even bothered to remove his bloody outer robe and honestly he really didn't care about it; he was just pooped.

Celestine spent a good amount of time dashing back and forth from the sink to the bed while he cleaned off Kanone's upper body as much as he could, even trying to get the bloodied part of his hair. Once he was finished he took the wash cloth back to the bathroom and finally thought to give his feet a good rub-down to get the dried blood and sand from the bottoms. He rinsed the cloth again and then simply hung it over the edge of the sink before he returned to the bed again and looked at Kanone. He sighed softly and then finally stretched out on the bed, snuggling in rather close to Kanone's side. He was still nervous and fidgety in here, but at least Kanone's presence helped a little...and at least he wasn't snoring or taking up the whole bed like he usually did. It took him over an hour, but finally, he managed to get to sleep there.

Sometime before morning, Celestine awoke with a start in the dark room and gasped as he sat up quickly, gasping for air as if he had just been suffocated. He looked around the room with wide eyes, relaxing only slightly. Already he was having fantastic replays of the prior day's events. He quickly decided that there would be no sleeping in here again, so he got up from the bed, leaving a nice dent where he had been, along with a few more feathers where he had laid. Those things seemed to be coming out like hair today, though it was probably sue to all of the rough treatment with the salt water and the falling on his wings in the sand. Once he'd gotten back outside and shut the door he didn't even bother to stay on the porch. Rather, he hurried off of it, his bare feet thumping lightly against the steps as he went. It was even cooler out here than it had been before, but that didn't really matter to him at the moment. His hair and clothes were dry for all intents and purposes at least now. He glanced around as he stood along on the beach and stared out over the water for a moment before he moved to the nearest tree he could find and sat down beneath it, curling his legs up to his chest. It wasn't too long before was asleep again...exhaustion taking over the fear of a reoccurring dream. By morning anyone who looked out could fine him curled up on the ground beneath the tree, having apparently fallen over, with his body curled up like that of a cat and his tail wrapped around his body. He had shifted one of his wings to rest over his exposed and had his face snuggled into the crook of his elbow on the other one. Still his eyebrows were burrowed, and he didn't seemed to be in a very content sleep even out here.

Nobu's ears perked up slightly when he heard the door open before morning. He'd already slept a good amount of time and was just laying there relaxed and unmoving. He finally lifted his head slightly when he recognized the feet going down the steps. He kept an eye on Celestine for a moment, just watching where he was going. He thought briefly about getting up to go over there but seeing as all it looked like Celestine was doing was sitting there he decided to stay put for now. He continued to lay where he was under the house for a while longer at least until it looked like Celestine had fallen over, or maybe he meant to lay down? He started to shift slowly so that he could slip out from under Esen's head without disturbing her too much, he hoped. Once he was clear he moved away from her and out from under the house. After he was out he immediately shook his fur out. There was sand stuck in his fur from laying down while he was still a little damp. Now that he'd shaken his fur out he really wished he hadn't. His fur was already fluffed up just from drying without being brushed and now thanks to shaking it out it'd gotten so much worse. He probably resembled a sheep, or as he liked to think, a giant purple cotton ball with legs. He sighed quietly and proceeded over to where Celestine was laying, regardless. Once he reached him he guessed that he must have gone to sleep at some point and was still asleep. He inched as close to him as he could without disturbing him and then laid down, resting his head on his paws.

Levana didn't return to the island until a little while after morning had already arrived. She was headed straight over to the house Marius had claimed for his stay, though she did pause briefly once she got closer to the house and happened to notice what she guessed was Celestine asleep under one of the trees with a rather fluffy purple canine near him. She didn't bother going over there and she couldn't help wondering if this meant that Marius had been unsuccessful in persuading Celestine to sleep inside of the house like Kanone had wanted. Either way, he was obviously asleep and there was no need to wake him. He'd get up when he was ready. She continued towards the house and straight up the steps once she reached them. She had an easier time of getting up the stairs this time. She'd decided to wear a simple sundress that fell roughly to her shins. Having her feet exposed already definitely made climbing the stairs easier than when she'd worn her skirt that covered her feet. She opened the front door quietly and shut it behind her as she entered the house. She wasn't too surprised that it didn't look like anyone was awake yet. It was still kind of early and it had been a late night after all. Considering the layout of the house it really didn't take her very long to spot Marius on one of the lounge chairs rather than in the bed he'd claimed. It didn't take very much to assume someone else was in the bed. She continued through the house over to the dinning room table. She was pretty quiet on her feet when she wanted to be and certainly a lot more graceful than Aamori. As soon as she neared the table she slid out the chair on the end so that she could sit down for a few moments.

Esen's ears perked up when she heard the footsteps on the stairs, but she didn't try to get up. She was pretty easily awoken anyway. She raised her head slightly to look at Celestine for a few moments and then placed it right back down on Nobu's neck again to rest. When she finally felt him shifting beneath her she raised her head again with a yawn and watched him as he shook his fur out before she laid her head down on her paws. She wouldn't mind going to lay with Celestine, but she didn't really feel like getting up. Besides, she thought Nobu might like a little quality Celestine time to himself again and she couldn't really blame him for that. She'd just stay here and watch the blades, no that they were going anywhere.

Celestine Really was having issues with the whole sleeping thing. It wasn't too long after Levana had passed him that he started to toss a bit. Normally, Celestine was a very still and quiet sleeper unless he was seeing something unpleasant. Even outside his mind seemed to want to have him closed up in some tiny closet space with no way out to be found. His elbow brushed against Nobu's fur and the texture seemed to trigger something in his dream that startled him sing as he jerked awake shortly after. He gasped in surprise when he saw the purple mass right in his face, though it took him a second to recognize it as Nobus' head. He stared at him for a moment, taking deep, even breaths before he sighed softly and relaxed, closing his eyes again. That was probably the first time he had even jumped just by waking up to see Nobu, though...this time Nobu hadn't exactly gone to bed with him. After he opened his eyes again he gave Nobu a ghost of a smile and raised his hand to rest on his head gently before he started to massage his skull with his fingertips again like he had done the day before, though not as well considering the awkward angle. He glanced down the length of Nobu's body and couldn't help a soft, halfhearted chuckle at the sight of all of the fluff. He moved his hand this time and started to gently comb his fingers down through Nobu's fur, trying to smooth it down a little. "...Morning, Nobu..." he said quietly. He didn't sound like he had gotten very might sleep, though he had gotten a few hours worth, it was almost all restless and he felt like he had only been to sleep for five minutes tops. He shifted positions a little, leaning his head against Nobu's while cuddling his face into his fur while he wrapped his arm around Nobu's back like he was giving him a half hug.

Marius had barely moved from his position last night at all. He was still stretched out with his head slightly off to the side and one arm draped over his middle while he other rested along side him. Normally, he was a pretty weary riser himself, but after the ungodly long day yesterday he seemed to be a little behind on his waking schedule. He would hate to think that Levana actually got to see him sleeping, that would just be embarrassing. He really looked peaceful there at least, of course he usually looked peaceful in his sleep unless he was catching a vision. Right now, he was simply drawling a blank. If left along it could still be a few hours before he woke up on his own. he hadn't even heard Levana come in. The only other sound in the house really was coming from Kanone's room. Apparently he'd finally taken up his usual sleeping habits and started to snore again, though it wasn't quite as loud as Celestine usually made it sound like it was. Celestine's hearing was just a little too good for his own good at times, especially on those sounds that could grate on one's nerves,

Nobu stayed where he was laying and tried not to move very much. He almost didn't notice when Celestine startled and jerked awake. He'd grown quite comfortable just laying there resting. He continued to be still while Celestine had started to massage his head again, similarly to how he had the day previous. Had his eyes been open then all six of them would have rolled at exactly the same time, right when Celestine chuckled. Obviously he'd gotten a gander at the current fluffy state he was in. '...Good morning, Celestine.' He responded while trying not to sound annoyed with his currently fluffy situation. He wagged his tails lightly after Celestine had cuddled his face into his fur and wrapped his arm around his back. He certainly was happy for the quality time he was getting with Celestine. It had been a while since he'd gotten to spend time with just him. The lack of time with Celestine seemed a little worse since Esen had showed up. She was able to fly so if Celestine went somewhere high that you'd need wings to get to... well... Esen could get quality time with him and he couldn't. Then again, all things considered he couldn't very well complain about it, Celestine was Esen's master after all not his. '...Rough sleep?'

Levana continued to sit at the table for a little while. She was kind of trying to decide what she thought she should do. She guessed she could always go check on Hikari but again, that would be better left for once Hikari was awake. She wasn't exactly sure where Aamori had ended up so she didn't really want to go poking her head into the last room to see if she was in there. Then, by the sounds of it... Kanone was fine. He was snoring after all. Somehow she couldn't picture someone hurting or in pain snoring like that or at all for that matter. It wouldn't be the end of the world to just sit here and wait for someone to get up but she did come over to check up on everyone so just sitting here doing nothing made her feel a little useless. She sighed softly and cast one more glance over towards Marius, double checking to make sure he was still asleep. She smiled softly and then started to stand up from the table after having thought of something helpful she could do. She pushed the chair under the table and stepped across the room over to the kitchen. She went straight over to the fridge and opened it up. She was glad that she'd thought to ask someone to stock the kitchen with food. Someone had stopped by at some point yesterday to put a wide variety of foods in the kitchen. She wasted very little time removing things from the fridge so that she could start making breakfast. Surely everyone was going to be hungry, especially after a day like yesterday. She wasn't the worlds best cook but she was pretty good in the kitchen, with breakfast at least since it was one of her favorite meals to cook. After she'd gotten everything out that she wanted to cook she wasted very little time getting started. If she had to be the reason that someone woke up earlier than they wanted she was at least going to be happy to blame the reason on the aroma from cooking.

Celestine nodded his head weakly when Nobu asked if she'd had a rough sleep. That was one way to put it. "...I tried to sleep inside..." he said quietly. He knew that pretty much everyone else wanted him sleeping indoors, but he just really couldn't stand being inside for long right now. He closed his eyes again and sighed softly as he stroked Nobu's fur with his fingers. He really was glad Nobu came around him again, though he did half wonder where Esen was considering that she was usually glued to one of the two of them. He raised his head after a moment and glanced around before he spotted her laying under the house with her back to them. He sighed softly and then laid his head back against Nobu and snuggled up against him again. His face nearly disappeared in his fur while he lay there like that, and be could barely see his own arm lost in the fluff. He did kind of miss getting to spend a little more time with Nobu. Since Kanone had gotten here and he'd started sleeping outside at the training center it was harder to stick with Nobu. He knew Hisako would throw a fit if he spent all night in the grass, so he never really tried unless it was an accident. He ran his arm down the length of Nobu's back, again trying to get his fur to lay down. "...I need a brush for this..." he commented quietly to himself. He had a comb, but it was back at the training building, and he didn't feel like going back there just yet.

Nobu wasn't really at all surprised to hear that Celestine didn't sleep very well. He hadn't usually slept well and without any problems unless he'd been around this purple mass. Or at least Celestine had started to sleep a little better once he started sleeping near him. Though... he could probably get the exact same results by sleeping near Esen too. '...You should've let me know you weren't sleeping well, I probably could've helped.' He told him. He continued to lay there beside him without moving very much. He lifted his head to look over at Celestine briefly when he commented about needing a brush. A brush would be nice, along with someone willing to take the time it would take to brush his fur until it was laying down nicely again. He guessed that Celestine might be willing to brush him, at least until he realized just how long it could take. 'Unfortunately I can't exactly carry a brush around with me everywhere I go.'

Celestine shook his head weakly when Nobu said that he should have told him. "...It's alright... I didn't know where you were at the time...besides...no need to wake you..." he said quietly, "...It's just stupid dreams..." He ran his fingers through Nobu's fur again and then started to push himself up again to a little position. He smiled weakly when Nobu said that he couldn't carry a brush around with him all of the time. "...I have a comb...but not with me," he said quietly. "I guess I could see if there was anything inside... I can clean it later..." He glanced back to the house for a moment and then started to run his hand over Nobu's back again before he started to get up. Just as he was starting to get up he was taken off guard by a sudden, rather high-pitched, sneeze that caused him to fall right back on his butt again. He covered his mouth and nose as the first sneeze was followed by a second and then a third. He shook his head and then rubbed his nose with the back of his hand before he lowered his hand and absently rubbed it against his pants leg. He dropped his head and rubbed his temples lightly before he sighed and just started to stroke Nobu's fur again. "...I'll go look in a few minutes...." He was still somewhat tired and the series of sneezes had started to bring on a mild headache, though he doubted it would last too long.

Nobu shook his head a little after hearing Celestine's second excuse, 'no need to wake you'. He couldn't argue the first one, Celestine really hadn't had any idea where he or Esen were and how many people actually thought to check under the house? '...Haven't we already had a discussion like this already...' He paused. 'I really don't care if you wake me up to have me sleep near you, especially if that means it's helping you sleep. I can always go back to sleep. It's no big deal.' He was pretty sure that he'd already told Celestine that, at least once before. He looked over at Celestine and started to watch him as he was getting to his feet to look for a brush or something inside. His ears laid back at the sound of Celestine sneezing and he absently ducked his head a little with every sneeze. After he thought the sneezing had come to a stop his ears perked up a little and he stared over at Celestine with his head tilted to the side slightly. '...You're not becoming allergic to me ...are you?'

Levana continued moving around in the kitchen as quietly as possible while she was cooking. She didn't make to make too much noise and accidentally wake any one up. She wasn't sure what all everyone liked for breakfast so she was trying to cook as much of a variety as she could just to be safe. So far she'd decided that making eggs, sausage, bacon, biscuits and toast were safe. She'd probably have decided on something a little more elaborate but that was kind of hard when you didn't know what the people you were cooking for liked to eat.

Celestine looked down to Nobu again after he asked if he was started to become allergic to him and then smiled weakly. "...Of course not," he said quietly. "...It's a little chilly out here this morning, that's all." He ran his hand along Nobu's back again and then leaned down again to give his head another little cuddle, inhaling deeply as he did so. "See?" he said softly as he sat up again and started to pet him again. He turned his head away as he felt another sneeze coming on just before he sneezed at his shoulder. He sighed and then closed his eyes for a moment before he started to push himself up again slowly. "...I'll be right back, okay?" he told him before he started to walk back toward the porch steps again. He dusted himself off as he walked and then ruffled his feathers, shaking them out again to clean the sand out of them again before he started up the steps again.

After a while all of the small sounds from the kitchen and the scent of the bacon and sausage finally started to capture Marius's senses and he groaned softly as he raised his head, discovering a horrible crick in his neck when he moved. He made a face and then say up a little and looked around tiredly while he rubbed his neck. He sat up and then slowly started to stand before he started to make his way toward the kitchen area while he pulled his robes back around him again. He blinked when he reached the kitchen and spotted Levana, of all people, in the kitchen making breakfast. He stood there for a moment before he smiled weakly, "...You're up and running early," he said lightly, "...Smells good." It was actually nice waking up to someone making breakfast again. No one had done that around him since his late wife. At least her cooking looked a lot better than his sad attempts at breakfast. If he had been the one cooking everything would have been so burned that even Esen would probably turn up her nose at it.

Nobu stared at Celestine for a moment when he said 'of course not' in response to his previous question. He hadn't seen Celestine sneeze before that he could remember and the only thing that was different at the moment was the way his fur was fluffed up so of course his first question was going to be if Celestine had developed some allergy to him. He nodded his head very slightly at the mention of it being chilly earlier this morning. He had noticed, he'd slept outside all night with Esen so he knew exactly how cold it had gotten throughout the night. He laid his ears back slightly when Celestine cuddled him and inhaled deeply. He couldn't help still thinking that maybe there was something about his fur that was bothering Celestine's nose. He started to feel better when Celestine hadn't sneezed right away. That feeling of unease came right back however as soon as he did sneeze. He pinned his ears back and then watched him as he started to push himself up. '...Alright...' He responded quietly as he watched Celestine head for the steps. He continued to lay where he was until Celestine had reached the steps and started to go up them. He started to get to his own feet now and proceeded to head closer to the house while serious contemplating slipping back under the house once Celestine had gone inside.

Levana wasn't too far from being finished with everything that she was cooking. Most of what she had chosen was relatively quick to make, the only time consuming part of it was making enough to feed everyone who might want some. She was pretty focused on what she was doing so she hadn't even noticed when Marius was waking up. Not that she could have clearly seen him from where she was in the kitchen, anyway. She did pause what she doing and look over at him when she heard his voice. She smiled softly and then nodded her head slightly. "Yes, well, I'm always up early. It's quite the normal habit for me nowadays." She paused and briefly glanced back at what she'd been cooking. "Thank you, I'm glad. Oh, and Good morning. I'm sorry if I woke you..." She said quietly before going back to finishing up the last of what she was frying on the stove.

Celestine again hesitated for a moment once he reached the door before he opened it and stepped inside. He closed the door quietly behind him and then sighed softly when he heard the snores coming from Kanone's room. He shook his head and then glanced ahead of him, spotting Marius standing there. He could smell the breakfast, but the scent only made his stomach turn. He didn't really care for meat and he wasn't hungry to begin with so the smell of bacon and sausage was more sickening than appetizing to him. He tried to ignore the smell as he moved closer to Marius and then glanced over into the kitchen, surprised to see Levana in there cooking. He figured that it would have been LaRae since she was the one of the group that usually cooked and her arm was probably fine by now.

Marius smiled at Levana and shook his head slightly. "...On a normal day, I am up early as well," he said simply before he glanced over to the food again. He chuckled softly and shook his head again, "You didn't bother me, I didn't even know you were here....though I do believe the bacon was calling my name." He watched her go back to the stove and then blinked when he heard the front door open and saw Celestine come inside. He shook his head slightly and then sighed quietly as Celestine came closer. "When did you get up?" he asked softly, "You look as if you've barely slept a wink. I thought you were staying with Kanone."

Celestine sighed softly as he came to a stop near Marius. "...I tried...I couldn't sleep..." he said quietly, "So I just went back outside..." He looked back up to Marius again and then started to ask him about a brush, but just as he opened his mouth he was hit by another sneeze. He groaned softly and laid his ears back a little. Honestly, he'd only been up about ten or fifteen minutes and that was the fifth time already.

Marius blinked and stared at Celestine for a moment. "Gesundheit," he said after a second. He looked at Celestine a little closer and then tilted his head, "You aren't getting sick, are you?" he asked worriedly, "You look a little pale..." He raised his hand and started to put it to Celestine's forehead, but it didn't quite make it that far.

Celestine sighed and raised his hand to brush Marius' away gently, "I'm fine, Marius," he tried to assure him. "...I just wanted to know if you had a brush or something I could borrow... Nobu needs to be brushed...bad."

Marius just sighed, "The only brush I have is mine, and I don't particularly want fur in it..."

"I'll clean it out," he said simply.

He crossed his arms as he gave Celestine a thoughtful look before he sighed again and shook his head. He really didn't want him to use it, but it was hard not to cave to Celestine. Besides, he knew he would clean it out when he was done like he said. "Alright alight... let me use it first...I need to change anyway..." he muttered as he looked down at his pale green robes which now had deep brown patches on it from Kanone. He glanced over to Levana and smiled slightly, "I'll be back shortly..."

Nobu paused just beside the stairs after Celestine had gone inside. He only stood there for a few moments before he did decide to slip back under the house. He still wasn't all that certain that he wasn't the cause for Celestine's recent barrage of sneezes. He probably would've believed him more when he mentioned sneezing because it'd been cold out if he hadn't been near him when he was sneezing. After he was under the house he thought about going back over to Esen but decided for now to just lay down a little shy of the stairs. Celestine had said that he would be right back so he thought he probably shouldn't go too far really. At least where he was it wouldn't be that hard to spot him if you turned and looked back at the house after coming off of the stairs.

Levana glanced back over at Marius briefly when he made mention that on a normal day he was usually up early as well. For her it really didn't matter what type of day it was. When it was time to wake up, it'd be early no matter what time she went to sleep. Her schedule had run that way for so long that it was just normal for her to wake herself early every morning. She chuckled quietly when she heard him say that he believed the bacon was calling his name. She was somewhat glad that the smell of the food had at least woken someone up. It was a lot nicer than having to go around and physically wake him up. She shifted slightly to see who Marius was addressing. She smiled a little upon seeing Celestine and then turned back to what she was doing while they were conversing. She lifted her eyes from what she was cooking and glanced over at Marius when she heard him say that he'd be back shortly. She smiled and nodded her head lightly. She turned back to what she was doing and finished cooking on the stove. She was only waiting on the biscuits to finish now. She glanced over at Celestine for a moment and then stepped over to a pitcher that was on the counter and then pulled down a small glass from the cupboard. She filled the glass and started to walk over toward Celestine while holding the glass out. "It's fresh squeezed fruit juice." She told him quietly. She'd heard him sneeze earlier and on the off chance that maybe he was getting sick a little fresh juice wasn't going to hurt anything.

Esen raised her head slightly when she heard Nobu getting closer to the house and then turned back to look at him for a moment. She sighed softly when she saw him laying down near the steps and then laid her head back down, yawning again. She still didn't move from were she was right now, it didn't bother her laying here. Luckily, she didn't mind sharing Celestine. She was drawn to him as soon as she met him so she assumed that he probably had the same effect on Nobu. Even though Kyran was Nobu's master, Nobu and Celestine still seemed pretty close to her, and she had no intention of severing that little bond of theirs. She was going to get to be with him for a long time, so she didn't mind letting Nobu have him at times.

Marius sighed softly and then started walk back toward the room that he had put Aamori and his things in. He slipped into the room slowly, quietly closing the door behind him before he grabbed his bag from the floor and walked as quietly as possible over to the bathroom. Once inside he made it a point to lock both door just in case one of the girls should wake up and need in here while he was inside. He took his brush out of the bad and laid it on the counter before he shrugged out of his bloodied robes and started to get out a clean outfit to change into. Once he'd gotten out of the rest of his clothes he got back into a clean, off-white tunic and pale lavender robes. He pulled the the robes tightly and then tied them around the waste with a pale green sash to hold it together. Once he was dressed again he gathered his brush and ran it over his long faded green hair to straighten and smooth it out. Once he was satisfied that he looked decent he laid the brush back on the counter again and then gathered his dirty clothes and folded them up before setting them on the top of his bag. He took the brush again and then unlocked both of the doors before he stepped back into the room where he'd left Aamori and sat his bag back down beside the dresser again.

Celestine watched as Marius started away and then sighed softly. He was debating on just going to sit down to said, though he was a little taken by surprise when Levana came over to him with a drink. He blinked and stared at the glass before looking up to Levana again and raising his hands to take it. "...Thank you," he said quietly. He raised the glass to his lips and took a small ship, shuddering a little as that tangy fruit taste ran over his tongue. He still wasn't quite used to that flavor, though he didn't dislike it, it was just a shock to the taste buds at first. He swallowed and then glanced down to the juice again before he took another small sip. He drank about like he ate, he looked more like a mouse than a dragon. He coughed softly after swallowing again, closing his fist in front of his mouth before he cleared his throat. He sighed as he lowered his hand back to the glass again. He really didn't want this, but he was going to try to drink it all anyway. His stomach was still twisting and it really wasn't making anything at all very appetizing to him.

Levana smiled at Celestine when he took the glass and nodded her head lightly. "You're welcome." She responded to his word of thanks. She kept an eye on him momentarily and then chuckled quietly when she noticed him shudder. "It takes some getting used to, I suppose." She was pretty sure that the taste was definitely different from fruit juices elsewhere. They mostly used tropical fruits in this territory after all. She started to move back over to the stove just to keep an eye on the biscuits while she waited for them to finish.

Since LaRae had left the bedroom door open a little the scent from breakfast was finally getting to her. She hadn't eaten anything the day before so she was kind of hungry and it wasn't everyday that she woke up to breakfast having already been cooked. She was usually the one already awake and cooking so she woke up pleasantly surprised. She continued to lay in bed for a few moments after her eyes had opened. She hadn't moved around much at all in her sleep which was probably good considering she still wasn't sure that her arm was alright. She finally started to sit up, struggling a little with the process. After she was sitting up she shifted so that she could put her legs over the side of the bed. She lifted her right hand to stifle a yawn and then started to glance down at the cast on her arm. She reached over to touch it, checking to see if it had gone soft yet. She stared at the cast in disbelief when she felt that it was still hard. She was fairly certain that it should've been soft by now so she figured this meant she'd screwed something up when she accidentally broke a small part of the cast and put the crack in it before it'd finished it's job. She gave a heavy sigh and glanced back towards Nanashi. She was kind of curious to see if maybe his cast was still hard too. Maybe this stuff just took longer on broken bones in the arm than it did on broken bones in wings? She could only hope that was the case.

Celestine nodded weakly when Levana said that the juice took a bit of getting used to. "It's...tangy..." he said quietly after pausing to think of a good description for it. He swallowed again and then raised to glass to take another small sip from the glass. It was getting to the point that he was getting used to the taste of the drink so he started to drink it a little faster. He just wanted to be rid of it so he didn't have a glass to take outside with him when he went. He hoped that they didn't expect him to stay in here and eat, especially not since they really didn't have much of anything that he would eat except for toast or biscuits and after drinking the juice he really didn't want either. Once he'd emptied the glass he walked over to the sink and sat it inside before turning on the water and letting the glass will up before he dumped out the water again. He gave the glass a quick wash and then rinsed it off again before setting it upside down where it could dry.

Marius left his back and clothes but kept a hold of the brush as he went back to the bedroom door and slipped back outside, closing it quietly behind him before he started back toward the kitchen area again. He looked at Celestine and smiled weakly before he held the brush out to him. "...Here." Thankfully his brush was the type with the separated bristles, so the hair wouldn't be too hard to get out of it. He glanced over to Levana again and smiled a little, "I hope you aren't planning to skip out on breakfast..."

Celesitne sighed softly as he raised his hand to take the brush, "Thanks..." He just shook his head when Marius started on him about food. "...I'm really not hungry..." he said quietly, "I'll eat later..." In all honestly if he even attempted eating right now with the smell of cooked meat in the air he'd probably upchuck or something. "I'm going back outside..." With that he simply turned and started to walk back toward the doors again so he could go brush Nobu out.

By now the cast on Nanashi's arm was already soft and ready to be pealed off, and had been for a few hours. He was still asleep right where LaRae had left him and he didn't appear to have moved at all through the night. His breathing was more relaxed, but it still seemed like a bit of an effort for him and his skin was still much more pale than normal and a lot cooler to the touch. The smell of the food didn't seem to arouse him at all, and even if he had woken up he probably have have had a touch time choking down what Levana had made just for the fact that he was too tired to chew.
