"Hn! Think as you wish..I've dealt with worse....besides, you do not know if I'm staying out in the cold or not..foolish boy." came the reply.

Mei chuckled as he pulled on his pants beneath the towel, dropping the towel afterwards. Stepping over he touched her cheek ever so gently, stroking it with his thumb as he teased lightly “Maybe… but without emotions we wouldn’t have any fun either. We’d be rocks..” With that and another laugh he pulled on the transparent top, stepping towards the door. Quietly he murmured “if you want to stay and relax… I can leave…”

As he sat on the chair and leaned back and began to laugh at the fact why everyone was calling him a boy, he may have had the appearence and voice of one but he was much older then everyone here unless they were another creature besides an angel.

Steven stretched with a big yawn. sort of how cats stretch.

Turning back around, the soft voice could be heard once more. "Why do you care anyway?" they asked, then shook their head. "Nevermind...it matters not to me..by the way, be careful with the wings..." the tone was innocent, but under the mask the hanyou smirked. The smell of feathers was not unnoticed.

She blushed as she felt his hand on her cheek and nodded. "That's true..." Sikura looked at him as he started to leave. "No, I might come back later. I want some cider, right now." Her wings unfolded from her back.

Akio had suddenly remembered about his wet wings once the stranger brought it up, he looked back and started to take off the towels one by one. "Yeah..of course it has to be all ruffled up like that.." he said to himself annoyed as he feathers were mostly sticking out of the wings, he bent his wings over in front of him and started to pat the feathers down with his hand.

With a faint snicker, the young woman watched. "You worry too much about appearance..hn..how childish, and I suggest you be more discreet. Even if people aren't startled by wings, the thought of feathers getting into the food and drink could cause complications.."

“Have fun Sikura…I think I’m going to take a walk…I’m not sure how many are ready for a freak like me…” Mei laughed, shaking his head and after pushing his hair behind his ear began to walk again. His hands were in his pockets as he looked at the ground, waiting for the body to decide it had enough time in this skin…

Angil had fallen asleep in a corner of the spring....and she could feel it. her head was dizzy and she felt very hot. She noticed the voices and could tell it was Mai and Sikura. she peeked over the rock hiding her to make sure. one figure was familiar but the other was out of place. mai was a guy. she let out a shocked gasp

Steven's stomache growled."i better go eat so i don't starve"she walked over to the counter
and thought what would be a nice breakfast/lunch.

Akio had just finished patting his feather's all down straight and let his wings fold against his back again, he smiled at the young woman and tilted his head a bit. "Hmmm....I guess you dont know much of angels do you?" he said with a slight chuckle. "Our feathers dont come off that easily...unless we're hurt badly these feathers stay on us till you yank on them hard." he said as he pulled a bit on his wing and nothing fell off, not a single feather.

Akio turned to the the other figure going to the counter and smiled again. "I'm guessing your terribly hungry, I heard your stomach from here." he said with a little laugh.

"How convenient for you..and you needn't prove a point." she replied, frowning slightly. Truth be told, it would have been amusing if he acted startled, insulted, or well...anything besides casual. With a shrug, she opened the door and walked out, ignoring his advice.

The sound of a gasp caused Mei to glance back, tilting his head to the side as Angil made a sound…it seemed it may be a bit late to hide from anyone….Running a hand through his silky shoulder length hair. Mei half grinned though there was a lingering worry in his night colored gaze. Well…seemed it’d be time to be run off again…

"Is that you Mai? but why.." Angil was very confused about mai's appearance. maybe it was the hot spring messing with her mind

Akio sighed as he saw the young woman leave the inn anyway. He didnt bother going after her, so he just sat there leaning back and forth in his chair.

It was colder than anticipated. Pulling her cloak tighter around her, the young woman stopped first as she looked around for somplace to sit and relax for a bit before wandering some more. Stubborn to a fault, she shook her head and refused to look and turn back to the inn she had just left. the shelter, warmth, and promise of food was tempting.

((Mei btw <3 though I may have mistyped it myself a time or two lol))

Mei sighed, shrugging his shoulders as he turned to look out the door. It was an odd thing to most, this he understood… “Because I’m just Mei…” He responded with a chuckle, looking at her over his shoulder in silence. He smirked a little, a dark look but an amused one as he waited for the little angil to react.

((And I guess you just met Akio ^_^ lolz
Akio ))

"Oh.." She hid a bit more behind the rock. she noticed his smirk and with the way Mei teased Sikura she was afraid she might be the next victim. "I bet its handy sometimes. but i guess it would be a problem too."

(Sorry got them mixed up. I'm a little tired)

----------

Growling softly in frustration, Mizuki finally came to a compromise with herself. While she was too stubborn to walk back into the inn and admit to defeat, she wasn't too thick-headded to perch herself on the roof.

----------

Climbing onto the roof, Mizuki made herself comfortable...until it started to rain. Annoying at times, but nothing too bad. It was only when the thunder started that the young woman cringed, shivering and trying to ignore her fear of thunder and lightning.

Akio could hear the footsteps on the roof and wondered who it could've been. Hearing the thunder he walked out of the inn and flew up to the top and stood there seeing the young woman standing there. "Hey..." he said calmly offering his hand to help her.

Looking up at the voice, Mizuki saw the same man from before. blinking in surprise, she noticed he was offering a hand to help her. With a shaking hand, she tentatively reached out to accept the offer, jumping in surprise when a particularly loud crash of thunder startled her. Curling up defensively, she returned to her basic instinctive response of trying to hide.

Steven finally thought of something to eat so she ordered it and started eating
her sandwhich thinking what she should do today

Akio looked up towards the sky and smiled as the rain drenched his wings once more. "Hmm...wonder who Zeus is mad at..."he turned his attention back to Mizuki and grabbed onto her hand and forced her onto his back. "Hold on tight." he said with a happy little tone and slowly just jumped off the roof once he reached near the ground he slowed down using his wings. "Now..that wasnt so bad now was it?" he opened the door to the inn and waited for her to go in first.
