After a few more mintues passed, Ana stirred the large pot once more, pulling noodles out to inspect them. Happy with how they looked she turned off the burner and lugged the heavy pot back over to the sink. Carefully tipping the pot she began pouring out the water, lifting it back up everything the noodles threatened to get away. Once the water was out, she returned the pot to the 'off' burner and walked over to the fridge. "There should be butter here right?" She asked as she pulled the door open. The fridge was neat and mostly empty, though it seemed that what was in there was important. Finding a stick of butter took a little longer than she would have thought, but after that she was going to have to find silverware and plates. Setting down the butter she looked at the dog, it was almost like she was trying to see what Aquilla saw for a moment. Nothing though. Finally she said, "We need plates, forks, and knives. You wanna help me find them?"

Eran hopped to his feet at the chance to do something other than wait for food, and it seemed the faster this task was done the faster food would come. so will a light bark of agreement he started looking for the silverware and plates. As he reached his first cupboard he realized this may be a bit difficult without thumbs. So he stared at the cupboard for a bit thinking of what to do. First he tried pawing at it to see if he could get it open enough to nose it open, but that didn't work. Because that was his first of two ideas he had to hope he could pull off the second idea. Reaching foreward with his muzzle Eran grabbed the handle with his teeth trying not to get his dog slobber all over the handle and pulled it open. I guess that's how i have to do it. seeing inside the first drawer were miscelaneous cooking implements so he went on to other drawers. A few attempts later he found the silverware and gave a sharp "wruf!" to say he found it.

After Yukio got dressed in dry clothing, he folded his wings against his back and headed out of his room and straight downstairs. I wonder if everyone is having a good time down there... he thought; forgetting to cover up his wings with cloths which he normally did all the time.
When he reached downstairs he noticed Jezzebeth sitting over near the fireplace. He tilted his head noticing a little bit of how strange she was acting as he walked over toward her and sat down across from her as he smiled softly glancing over at the fire then back over toward her. "Your sitting awfully close to the flames...dont you think?" He asked with a quiet whisper.

Jezzebeth soon snaped out of her trance and looked back up.'Oh..I guess.Nice to see you again Yukio'Jezzebeth said with a tender smile as she scootched back from the fire and sat down in one of the chairs but kept her eyes glued to the fire.It always seemed they where trying to speak some kind of language but some people where too ignorant to understand.

Yukio smiled as he relaxed on the couch he was sitting in, he slowly realized his wings were still showing behind him as they began to spread out a little on the couch so they wouldnt be flattened by Yukio's own weight from laying back on them. When he saw how Jezzebeth was looking at the fire still, his smile slowly began to turn into a frown. "Whats wrong?...." he asked quietly leaning forward to look at her more carefully.

Jezzebeth turned her golden eyes back to Yukio.'Im fine..Why do you ask?'Jezzebeth said in a soft tone.Jezzebeth turned to face him so that way he could watch her expressions that crossed her face so he would believe her.Jezzebeth wondered what all she'd do tonight,she wasn't exactly all to excited for the fact she'd have to get some sleep,perhaps she'd run around and go to the hot springs or something.Jezzebeth sighed softly and let a soft smile spread across her lips as Yukio tried to get a better look at her face.

Yukio shrugged his shoulders when he saw how Jezzebeth was smiling at him. "J-just wondering...since you seemed.. a bit...disturbed." he said laughing a bit nervously. When he saw the yellowish eyes of hers, he tilted his head staring into her eyes wondering what she was exactly. Yellow eyes?....thats different... he thought confusingly.

Jezzebeth nodded and was confused when he kept staring at her.'Is there something on my face?'Jezzebeth thought to herself soon diverting her eyes back to the fire.Her muscles tensed and she became slightly nervouse.No one had taken interest in her before.'Its a habit..'She murmured.

Yukio looked at Jezzebeth turn her attention away from him as he smiled softly and shrugged his shoulders. Hmm....those eyes....they seem familar.... he thought wondering when was the last time he had seen yellow eyes from. "So....your sure nothing's on your mind?....cause you know, if you need to talk...I'm here to help." he said with a slight whisper as he looked over towards the fire as he threw a few more logs into the flames to keep it alive.

Jezzebeth listened to his soft voice.She wasn't one to open up to somebody,expectly someone she just met.'No,im fine.'Jezzebeth said with a reassuring smile turning back towards him.Once the flames started up again she couldn't help but stare.She never felt...'heat'.Jezzebeths skin was always cold and this made her want to stay by the fire all night.She kept her golden eyes set on the flames as they danced around one another making crackling sounds.Jezzebeth chuckled slightly wishing she could understand its language.She soon laid back against the chair but kept her body on the floor.Jezzebeth kept her knees tucked tightly against her as she watched the flames reflecting off her golden eyes.

Yukio smiled as he nodded and stood up and stretched his arms out widely, when he rubbed his eyes he yawmed a little shaking his head. Damn....I didnt think I was this tired... he thought letting his wings drop behind him and walking over toward Jezzebeth as he sat down next to her this time. Accidently touching her arm with his, Yukio felt how her body was a bit cold as he looked over at her quickly with his eyes widened. "Y-you cold?...." he asked with his wings ruffling slightly.

Jezzebeth smiled feeling the heat that came off his arm.'How lucky he is to be alive...Jezzebeth thought to herself.Her smile softened once she heard his question.'Im a vampire...we'er always cold...'Jezzebeth said with a small laugh as his wings ruffeled.She was completely unaware at how close he was siting but she kept her eyes on the fire.

A vampire!...thats it!...thats where those yellow eyes came from!! Yukio thought as he smiled softly looking over at her with his head tilted slightly. "Hmm...so your a vampire....I guess I dont need to tell you what I am..." he said laughing quietly to himself as his wings slowly wrapped around himself; he knew mostly everyone thought of him as an angel but seeming that no one ever seemed to realize he was a fallen one.

Jezzebeth turned her golden eyes towards him as he tucked his wings in.'If your a angel...why are you here on earth?'She asked in a smooth silky voice as she rested her cheek on her knees keeping her gaze locked onto his actions.She thought of him as a angel but what she couldn't figure out is why is he on earth,why would he even be here?Jezzebeth could feel the heat coming off even his wings.Her muscles relaxed enjoying the warmth that filled the room and soon would take affect onto her pale icey skin.

Yukio's wings suddenly stopped moving as he heard the question that Jezzebeth gave him. "umm I...umm....I'm on earth...s-since well...I'm a...fallen.." he said nervously as his wings began to relax themselves again, the cold feeling from her skin was irrating his wing's warmth as they began to move on their own and wrap the one that felt the cold around Jezzbeth. Suddenly when Yukio felt her in his wings, he turned his head over in shock as he didn't know when they even did that. when did they do that?! I didn't even do that!!

Jezzebeth nodded and right when she went to turn her glance back to the fire his wings wraped around her.Her eyes lit up in shock.'I...I..'Jezzebeth stuttered for the first time completely caught off gaurd.She didn't want to move but at the same time she wanted to spring up and pretend like nothing happend.Jezzebeth sat there frozen and then soon got up and slowly backed away.'Sorry..'She murmured as she slowly gave them some distance apart.

Yukio looked at Jezzebeth back away as he smiled and blushed slightly. "you don't have to be sorry...I don't even know what got into these damn things..." he said looking back at the wings as they ruffled violently go themselves and finally decided to wrap themselves around Yukio. what the hell?! Why did my wings even do that?! he thought as he forced them to tighten around himself.

Jezzebeth nodded and watched as his wings ruffled up and then tightened around him.'What the hell just happend?'Was the first thing that came into her thoughts.She then turned her golden eyes back to the blazing fire.

"Alright, good job," Ana said as she pulled out the silverware. "And I already found the plates so now we can eat." There was a smile on her face as she set the two plates beside each other and began putting spagetti on them, after mixing in some butter of course. "Would you like sauce on yours?" She asked, almost getting used to the fact that this dog actually responded. She had already put some on hers, now it just mattered if he wanted any. While she waited she walked back over to the fridge and put the butter back in.

Eran sniffed at his plate then at Anastasia's plate. The smell of the sauce alone decided it for him and he nodded with a slight yip for emphasis. The food was right in front of him and he had to exert considerable willpower not to try and wolf down the food. fighting every canine instinct he had. Watching Anastasia he wiggled anxiously in his seat but he stayed patiently waiting for Anastasia.

Yukio kept blushing as he stood up and shook his head. "I....I...I'm s-sorry about that..." he said with a slight whisper as he bowed his head down and quickly left the tavern; sitting down on the stairs outside looking at the snow fall as his wings wrapped around himself once again to keep himself warm from the freezing cold weather. Why did they even do that?! he thought clentching down onto his feathers tightly.

Jezzebeth nodded and before she could say a word he had ran out of the tavern.She leaned back against the chair and watched the flames dance around one another.She sighed softly unaware of her own sadness taking place.It was nice to have someone there that could remove her thoughts from what was once ago.Jezzebeth sighed softly and ran a hand threw her hair standing up.She decied to go swimming out in the hot springs,perhaps that would clear her head abit.She ran up into her room and started geting dressed into a swim suit and threw a towel around her.She hoped she would be able to make it threw the snow...but then again she was already cold and dead,how would it matter?

After a couple of minutes of being out in the cold, Yukio finally had stopped blushing as he stood up and stretched out his arms and wings out before they had turned to ice themselves. "I....I better get back inside...b-b-before I get sick..." he said with a whisper to himself as he walked back into the tavern. When he saw how Jezzebeth wasnt in the room anymore he sighed and walked over toward the fireplace and sat down trying to warm up next to the fire. I guess....s-she left... he thought slowly closing his eyes to take a little nap.

Jezzebeth stayed wraped up in the towel and put on some boots so out in the snow she wouldn't be completely frozen.She skidded down the stairs with tons of excitment to actully go into the hot spring.Jezzebeth had no Idea where Yukio had ran off to but where ever he was,she hoped he was alright.Jezzebeth didn't bother to give any of the rooms to passed a second glance nor when she reached the bottom of the stairs did she look at the fire.The fire always slowed her down and distracted her.She wanted to master fire when she was younger but...she was a vampire,vampires cant control fire.Jezzebeth opened the door and silently closed it and ran off into the snow making her way to the hot springs.

Suddenly waking up from nearly burning his wings, Yukio screamed as he sat up and shook his head. "Ow! d-dammit! that hurt!" he said jumping over the couch and looking at his wings seeing how they had little burn marks now. Oh thats terrific! he thought shaking his head and sighing; he didnt know that Jezzebeth a had just left for the hot springs as he walked back upstairs to his room to find something to make his wings brighter white again; rather then white with burnt marks.
