yukima began purring and purring she then looked into the tavern owners eyes hoping he would recognize her she wanted to change back but decided to wait until another time.she hoped he would listen to her story when she changed back to her human form.

Looking down at the little cat, Yukio was too concentrated on the fact that why a cat or how a cat even got to the tavern in this kind of weather. "Come on....lets get you something to eat, hmm?" he said with a little soft whisper; heading down the staircase back to the bar as he hadnt noticed Aquila over near the fireplace. "Here..you stay right there okay?" Yukio said placing the little cat on the counter still not realizing it was Yukima in a different form. He reached for a little bowel and some fresh milk in the fridge as he poured some into the bowel putting it in front of her. "there you go.." he said smiling softly.

Aquila snapped his head around, glaring at the tavern owner's back. His hand clenched, but he pushed the annoyance and anger down, turning to glare at the fireplace, decidng it best to throw his anger at the bouncing flames. After all, they could take it. His anger seemed to eb the more he stared at it, ramrod straight spine relaxing as he leaned back into his chair.

Jezzebeth got up from where she was siting and decied to check in.She had already gotten the keys considering she had ran into the owner when she first arrived.Jezzebeth hoped he didn't forget and wrote her name down on the list of people staying.She decied she'd take a walk in the snow again once she was done unpacking.After all,she was partly already dead so why need warmth?Jezzebeth left the room with graceful and elegant speed and when her feet touched the ground it made no noise.She made her way to the room that seemed everyone already had.Jezzebeth ploped down on the bed unwinding her hair leting it fall all over the place.She laid there on the warm covered and closed her eyes for a few moments feeling blissful.

as the tavern owner poured the bowl of cold milk yukima began purring and brushing up against the tavern owner,he set the bowl down in front of yukima and she began to drink the cold milk,she drank until there was nothing left.she then cleansed herself of the milk she may have had on her face and paws,I hope he will recognize me soon.She wondered i hope he'll listen to my story,i want him to help me but not only that,he is special to me so i want to help him too and be his friend.she thought to herself.

Yukio looked at the little cat purring and cleaning itself as he smiled tilting his head a bit more. "hmm....your eyes....they seem so...familar..." he said with a quiet whisper as he started to lean forward a bit more with his wings starting to spread out behind him a bit so that the weight from it wouldnt make him fall over onto the little cat.

((SO SORRY I TOOK SO LONG YOU GUYS!!!!! :cry: ))

yukima kept staring at the tavern owner she wanted him to remember her, to see that she was hurt emotionally,for him to help her avenge her family,to become her friend.i hope he can help me.she thought

After a couple of minutes, Yukio had finally started to recongize the little cat as his eyes widened brightly. "wait!...." he said nearly falling backwards behind the other side of the bar counter. "Y-y-your that girl!" he yelled pointing at the little cat in shock. "b-b-but h-how?!" he was completely dumbfounded as his wings began to twitch and ruffle in fear from wondering how the girl could change into such a small little animal.

yukima smiled and decided to speak "hmhm im glad you recognized me,but i need to speak with you,in your room."she said sadly"please,hear me out,please?"she begged.

Yukio slowly started to calm down and begin to get serious once more as he heard the sadness in the little girl's voice. "Huh?....wh-what is it?" he asked with a little bit of confusion as he just nodded and walked over toward her picking her up into his arms and heading over toward the staircase. Once he was beginning to walk upstairs, he looked down at her as his wings slowly started to wrap around in front of him and around her for a bit. "So...wait...whats this about?" he asked with a whisper; while walking up the stairs.

Aquila turned his head again, snorting at the sound of the girl's voice. There was a loud bang at the window, causing him to jerk back around, glaring at the clumped snow on the window. He growled again, rubbing the bridge of his nose. He might as well think on it. Aquarious wouldn't leave him alone until he gave a straight answer. He leant his head back, ignoring the freightened stutters of Yukio and the soft voice of Yuki.

"well its not safe here."she replied shyly,"Aquila will hear us,its about him and me though."she said looking away from his beautiful eyes,she began to transform in front of him while still in his arms.

((Okay guys um...I'm making a little...."Update Thread" if you can call it that so just wait a couple of minutes or possibly an hour so that I can make it...I'll send you all the links in a pm...so save it and if you ever need any updates on whats happening..just go there...kay? ^.^
Btw...I'm going to update it every 5posts we do in the roleplay here...so if I do forget to update it...please tell me :D thankies all of you!!))

Slowly as she began to transform back into her human-like form, Yukio's eyes widened a bit as he realized that he was basically holding onto her in his arms with his wings around her. "Um....." he said nervously, speechless about what to say or do as he couldnt move from the spot he was standing in now. Without even realizing it, his face started to turn a bit red from being this close to someone. Th-t-this...is....k-kind of....a-a-awkward.. he thought; forgetting she could read his mind.

((okay everyone?....
um....Loveless wont be on....for...god knows when...so yeah...its best at this point to just act like her character didnt exist?...if thats even possible if you can...^.^;; sworries all!!!
Especially for hidden cupcake....sworries :( ))

Anastasia had sat in her chair, shocked at the fact that the tavern owner was an angel. He didn't seem to know what she was either, which was odd seeing as how all the ones back where she used to live knew about her. Looking about she tried to ignore everything that was going on, it was all just far too much to take in at this point. Finally she pulled her numb body from the chair and walked up the stairs. Blindly walking down the hallway she finally stopped and opened the third door on the left. Entering it, she walked straight to the bed and plopped down on it; she could hear the wood frame groaning at her weight. She may have appeared little but there was a good amount of metal within her causing her to weigh more than most would expect.

[[Oh, wowzers. i hope everything is okay with her?]]

Lein had decided to take a trip to the hotsprings.

She was standing at the edge on one of the big rocks, staring down at the water. her clothes lay in a bundle at her feet, leaving her in a soft pink bikini. She had a towel wrapped around her shoulders as she stared down into the water, rethinking going into the water. It was definetely hot; she could feel the warmth through the rock she was standing on. But Lein had never been one for large bodies of water, large being bigger then the conventional bathtub full of water. She stood staring at her reflection; she was almost dead white against the gray backdrop of the sky.

Yukio had reached inside his room a little while back as he had fallen asleep without even realizing it. Why the hell.....did I have to be born the way I am?!....why couldnt I have been born a mortal?! he thought, remembering what Aquila said about why anyone would want to be born a mortal, since they were fragil and time limited.

Aquila sat forward, standing and moving off toward the back door. He watched the hot springs coldly, eyeing the girl in the two piece idly watching the water, as if waiting for something. He tilted his head, raising a brow at her. He wondered vaguely what was taking her so long to go into the water, his earlier annoyance forgotten. He opened the door slowly, making his way out into the bitter cold, feeling almost none of it as he moved off toward the girl, tilting his head at her.

(I hope she's fine.)

Lein kneeled down to poke at the water, obviously stalling. It was deliciously warm; even though she couldn't get sick from the cold, she was human enough to feel the bite of it. She leaned forward a little more, watching her reflection... and fell in, face-first. She bobbed to the surface, flailing her arms in a panic. Lein wasn't a very good swimmer, and she hadn't realized that it was so deep. It probably wouldn't have been too deep to anyone else, but the young girl was incredibley short.

[[Drowning girl OTZ. Sorry my brain is on strike DX]]

Aquila jumped, quickening his pace only slightly. He leant over lightly, eyeing teh flailing girl almost boredly. He sighed lightly, already knowing Aquarious would beseech him to help. Deciding that it was merely easier to do so than wait for the constellations special form of complaining, he dove in, wrapping his arms around the girls flailing arms, hositing up so her head broke the surface. He furrowed his brow as he realised his feet barely touched the bottom. With an annoyed grunt, he began to kick, pulling the girl to the edge of the steaming pool.

Lein tried not to struggle as hard once she felt someone grab her, figuring it would be easy for them to pull her out of she wasn't inadvertantly trying to kick them. As soon as they were close enough, she lunged for a rock, clinging to it for dear life. She was never coming back here, she decided. She looked over at the boy who had helped her, an apology written all over her pale face. "I'm sorry," she said, clinging to her new best friend, the rock. "Um... thanks." she vaguely wondered where her towel was, and saw it floating a few feet away. It was pretty much useless now, even if she could gather up the guts to go get it, so she decided to just leave it be.

Aquila began to tentaively climb up teh heated, smooth rocks, knowing full well how easy he could lose his grip. He turned to the girl when she said something, blinking at her before smiling lightly. "Think nothing of it," he said, plopping down on a rock to rest. He stretched slightly, wincing. He was far too old for this. "A friend of mine would have given me Hell if I didn't help you."

Lein carefully pulled herself out of the water, sprawling on the rock for a second before pushing herself up into a sitting position. "I-I guess I should thank your friend then," she said, pushing white hair out of her eyes. "Um, I'm Lein," she offered, after a moment of silence.
