Jezzebeth sprinted to the hot springs as it came into view.She slowly stoped running and put her towel down on the rocks,along side with her boots, and slowly got in.She smiled as the warmth of the water slowly devoured her body.She dived under the water enjoying the waves that hit her face as she came up.Vampires didn't really need to breath..but this hot spring made her feel alive.

After Yukio got into his room, he immediatly ran over toward his dresser as he grabbed a comb from it and smiled softly. "I hope this works.." he said to himself quietly as he sat down on the bed and bent his own wings in front of him to comb them. Hopefully....this will help it go back to white... he thought, combing it slowly. After another few minutes of combing it, Yukio realized how it wasnt working as he bit down onto his lower lip and threw the comb away. "whatever....g-guess I'll just hide it..." he said walking over toward the dresser again as he glanced over at his window and saw the hot springs. Hmm?....wait...is that Jezzebeth?... he thought looking more carefully at the figure in the water.

Jezzebeth floated in the water for a few moments with a brief smile spread across her lips.She then soon dived back into the water swimming until the pressure was too much.She soon came back up.Her hair just as wet and the cool wind blowing in her face.She didn't mind it,but the warmth of this water made it feel like she was truely alive.So she just floated in the water leting it brush against her cool skin.

After finally realizing it was Jezzebeth, Yukio smiled softly as he saw how happy she looked in the water as he opened his dresser and pulled out a couple of cloths as he wrapped his wings up in them so they would hide the burnt scars on them, as well as concealing the entire wings themselves. After he got them hidden, Yukio folded his wings against his back as he climbed out of his window and onto the roof carefully. "aahh...this breeze feels better then before..." he said to himself quietly as he glanced down at Jezzebeth in the water and tilted his head. "becareful....you might get sick..." he said with a little laugh.

Jezzebeth came up and for the first time opened her eyes and saw Yukio watching.She blushed sligthly and waved to him before she dived back down beneath the water.'I wonder why his wings are covered...'Jezzebeth thought to herself as she swam deeper under the water and let her body just float up to the top.She flipped her long hair out of her face and started swimming towards the shore line.

((D'aww you make such a cute puppy XD))

"Alrighty, sauce it is," Anastasia laughed before pouring some onto the dog's spagetti. She then set the plate on the ground before warning, "Eat slowly, you don't want to choke." She had had some back experiences like that before, it actually may have been the first time she tried it before demanding on knowing how to make it. Grabbing her own plate and fork she sat down on the ground not far from the pup and began eating her own plate. After a few bites she paused before saying to herself, "I wonder where Aquilla went and why he didn't want to join us. Maybe spagetti isn't his thing."

[[why thank you, i try ^-^]]

Eran listened to her advice and watched her sit down nearby aquick bark of thanks before shoving his nose into the food and begins to eat up the food. It was delicious for how simple it was and even keeping himself from going too fast the dish was gone in a matter of minutes. Standing over the plate he licks it clean, leaving no sauce behind. When he finished he licked his nose feeling a bit of sauce was stuck on it. When he got that off he looked to Anastasia.... Padding over to her he licks her in the back of the neck once in thanks before laying up against her. His body slightly wrapped around her he rests his head in her lap and waits for her to finish her spaghetti a light sigh of content as his belly has some food in it.

Yukio smiled softly as he laid down onto the snowy roof and stared up at the cloudy skies as the snowflakes landed onto his clothed up wings and body. I wonder why it always snows here... he thought closing his eyes carefully and relaxing a bit more on the roof. "Going inside?" he asked without looking down at Jezzbeth with his wings slowly flapping themselves to get a few of the snowflakes off before tthey began to pile up on his wings.

Jezzebeth was stunned when she heard Yukio's voice,but then again..why be stunned?She knew he was already up on the roof.'Yeah...ill see you inside I guess.'Jezzebeth said without glancing up towards him.Jezzebeth walked into the tavern and closed the door behind her as the warmth of the fire filled the air.Jezzebeth took a deep breath and relaxed herself before heading up the stairs.

Yukio sighed as he slowly opened his eyes, cupping his hands together as a bright light shined around his body. After seconds passed he disappeared from the rooftops as he was back in the hallways of the rooms as he stood right outside Jezzbeth's room. When he heard her footsteps, he glanced over toward her with a soft smile. "Now looks whos all wet....." he said with a quiet chuckle.

Anastasia rested her plate on her knees once she pulled them to her chest. Once she was sure she could balance it while eating some she began to pet the dog. "Why does Aquilla think you're not a dog?" She asked though at that point she felt like she was talking more to herself than to the dog at that point. "Are you a shapeshifter of some kind or something then?" She then sighed before finishing off her plate and sliding it onto the counter. "I guess that's your little secret though huh? Kind of like what I've been trying to hide." She then closed her eyes and rested her head against the cupboard she was leaning against. Her hand continued to stroke the pup's head but other than that she was still, at least for that moment. Pulling herself to her feet she looked down at the creature before saying, "I should probably head to bed. Would you like to come with me or would you rather sleep somewhere else?"

Eran closed his eyes as Anastasia began to pet him enjoying the feeling of hands running through his fur.

"Why does Aquilla think your not a dog?"

Ast this question he sighed deeply...because he's right...i'm not JUST a dog... licking her hand once he stayed next to he to keep getting petted. when she mentioned him being a shape shifter he tensed for a second tail pausing in it's wag. He relaxed when she mentioned it being his own little secret. He would have told her if she seriously asked him she was the only one in the tavern he would do that for. at her mentioning something of her own to hide he perked his ears up and looked at her briefly but put his head back down soon afterwards if she doesn't ask me I won't ask her when she got up his ears perked again and he got up with her. At the offer of a place to rest he paused but quickly barked a light "Wruf" of agreement, leaning up against her hoping for some more pats or some petting.

Jezzebeth laughed.'Seems like someone likes following me,hm?'Jezzebeth said with a small laugh and winked at Yukio keeping the towel around her as she walked towards the door.Suddenly,Jezzebeth realised his wings were wraped up.She stoped for a moment and stared at his wings.'What happend to your wings?'Jezzebeth asked softly her features twisting into concern.

"Alright, well once I get these in the sink I'm heading up to my room," Ana said though she still wasn't sure why she kept talking just because the dog barked. It could mean anything, I should assume that what his barks say are really what he's saying, she thought to herself before sighing. Picking up the plate on the ground she pet the dog once more before grabbing her own plate and placing them both in a near by sink along with the pots she had used. I'll have to remember to clean these in the morning. She then turned and walked out the push door, her eyes scanning for Aquilla. Finally finding him she walked up and said, "I am heading to bed and though you may not care, perhaps you should get some rest too?"

Yukio blushed a little as he heard what Jezzbeth asked him and looked away for a quick second. "Umm....S-s-sorry..." he said laughing nervously until he heard about his wings; since he usually hid wings in the first place, it wasnt something he really remembered about much so it shocked him a little that someone actually asked about it. "Hmm? ohh...um...i-..its nothing..." he said glancing over toward her by the side of his head as he looked down at the floor; folding his wings a bit more tightly against his back.

Jezzebeth chuckled.'Did you burn your wings?'She asked trying to find out what happend.It was common sense I mean,he slept by the fire and it proably got out of control and burned his wings.'Uhh...real quick can I change and then we can hang out?'She asked in a soft tone with a slight smile.Jezzebeth was dying to feel the heat from the fire again but she also wanted to relax before her big day tomorrow.

Yukio kept blushing as his face began to slowly glow brighter red and nodded quickly at the second question. "umm...yeah...y-you do that...I'll be downstairs.." he said with a little whisper as he just immediatly walked passed her and headed downstairs to the fireplace. When he walked over to the fireplace, he sat down on the couch and stared at the fire trying to make himself stop blushing.

Jezzebeth nodded to him as he walked by.'Was he blushing?'Jezzebeth thought to herself with a small smile as she pulled out the key from her right boot and unlocked the door.Jezzebeth slid into her room and threw on a pair of pajama pants and a tank top.Jezzebeth brushed out her long hair and decied she would just go bare foot.Jezzebeth picked up her key and attached it to the string on her pants and locked the door as she slipped out of her room.Jezzebeth walked down the stairs and smiled warmly at Yukio.'Hey..'Jezzebeth said softly as she debated on where to sit.

Yukio suddenly turned his head over when he heard Jezzebeth. "hmm?....oh...hey.." he said as he saw how she wasn't sitting and rather looking to sit down. He began to pat the spot next to him. "you can sit here if you want..." Yukio said with a little whisper as his wings tightened up closer to his side to let her get some more room to sit down.

Jezzebeth sighed softly and sat down on the catch beside Yukio but not too close.She kept her eyes on the fire leting whatever conversation go by,go by.Jezzebeth didn't really know of what to say for the moment.Then she snaped back and realised he didn't anwser her question about his wings.'So..your wings?'Jezzebeth said with a small chuckle.

Eran wagged his tail and leaned into Anastasia's hand as she pet him again. he diligently followed behind her although a bit slowly. He was still thinking about showing her what he was but he also kept remembering the last time he "Revealed himself" It wasn't pretty, and it involved a high-speed chase that involved him, a shotgun, and a pickup truck. Eran still felt kinda bad for making the truck slam into that thick redwood trunk...

Bringing himself to the present he noticed they were walking up to Aquilla. As Anastasia talked to him Eran somewhat hid behind Anastasia. He wasn't a fan of the fact that Aquilla knew he wasn't a dog. However Aquilla didn't know what Eran was so it was better than full knowledge on Aquilla's part.

Yukio looked over at Jezzebeth as his eyes suddenly widened brightly when he heard what she just said without even waiting. "Huh?...o-oh......m-my wings..." he said with a quiet whisper as he tried to hide his wings behind his back carefully; of course that didnt work since they were so large. "Um....i-its...n-nothing really that important...a-anyway." Yukio said laughing nervously and scratching the back of his head.

Jezzebeth smiled and then nodded.'If you say so.'Jezzebeth said with a small shrug.She sighed tentively and stared at the fire.Jezzebeths golden eyes soon stayed glued as she watched the flames crackle and dance around one another.

((Brainfart.x.,x))

((lmfao i get those all the time :P :sweat: ))

Yukio was holding his breath most of the time as he finally let out an exhale when he noticed how Jezzebeth seemed to let the subject go. Thank god... he thought relaxing in the seat a bit more as he glanced over toward Jezzebeth and noticed how she was staring at the fire again. "Something on your mind?..." he asked with his voice slowly getting back to normal.

Jezzebeth kept her eyes on the fire for a moment then tuned back in.'No..is there something on yours?'Jezzebeth asked softly as she slowly removed her eyes from the fire and back towards Yukio.She begun to wonder why he had so many questions about herself.Then again,she had many questions about him,so why not?Jezzebeth kept her gaze locked onto his as she waited for his response.

((Woot ^. ^))
