Aamori sat quietly for a few moments, even after he had leaned his head against hers and spoke. She had heard him, she was just tired and didn't respond or even show acknowledgment until he had asked a question. She opened her eyes again as he was lifting his head up from hers. She smiled when he said that he was relieved. She was glad that he actually wanted her to be able to go with them and she thought her chances of being allowed to go were pretty good. She had managed to accomplish a lot in just the one day but it even still, the decision was up to the Elder whether or not she could continue on. She started to close her eyes again but stopped when he asked if she wanted to go to her room. She was tired, that was pretty obvious but she wasn't really sure she wanted to go to her room. She knew she'd end up in her bed and then it wouldn't be long before she fell asleep and she didn't want to end up asleep and missing out on Celestine's good mood. It would be her luck to go to sleep and wake up to him being back in one of his usual moods. She shook her head a little. "...N-no. H-here is fine." She answered tiredly.

LaRae glanced over to Celestine when she heard her name and then looked over to his swallow after he asked his question. She nodded her head as she looked back over to him. "Sure." She answered simply. She didn't see why she couldn't and it wasn't like she had to go all that far to put it in his room. She stepped over to the wall he had leaned his swallow against and picked it up after looking at it for a moment. She had to admit, she was a little surprised that he'd even ask her to put this away, let alone touch it. She sighed softly and started through one of the arches and headed for Celestine's room to put his swallow away.

Celestine looked back to LaRae when she said that she would take it and nodded in thanks before he looked back to Aamori once again to hear her answer. He smiled weakly and then sighed quietly, "...Okay." he said simply. He really didn't mind staying there with her either. He put his arms back around her and shifted again, "Then you can rest against me." he said quietly. He rubbed her shoulder gently and closed his eyes for a few moments. "...Just to note...I don't really want to be stuck right here all night." he said with a slight smile, "So if you're planning to go to sleep, let me know so I can haul you to your bed where you belong."

Aamori smiled lightly hearing that she could rest against him again. She half expected to be told she had to go to her room since it wasn't far. She felt the need to take advantage of this and had she not been so tired she probably wouldn't have moved an inch on her own. She moved just a little so that she could lay down and rest her head in his lap. Once she was comfortable she looked up at him and gave a small smile with an expression that said 'don't make me move'. "...I don't plan to go to sleep." She uttered quietly and shut her eyes gently. "...If I change my mind ...I'll let you know." Unless she just happened to fall asleep that is. That more than likely would be the case. After moving so she could lay down like she had she was just even more tired.

LaRae paused at the door beside the room that she and Nanashi had been using. She started to reach out to open the door and noticed Nobu laying off to the side of the door a little ways. He was laying, like he was asleep and in a shadow. She was a little curious how long he'd been there, she hadn't seen him much at all since they got here. She gave a small sigh and opened the door, heading inside long enough to lean Celestine's swallow against the wall beside the couch. Once she released the swallow she turned and started back out of the room, making sure to pull the door shut behind her. She still didn't have anything to do right now and she didn't want to go back into the room just yet; Nanashi was supposed to be resting after all. She finally wound up moving over to Nobu and sitting down on the floor beside him with her back to the wall. She looked down at him briefly and then set her hand down on his head and started petting him gently.

Celestine glanced over to Aamori when she started to move and then looked away, assuming that she was probably going to just lay int he grass since that would be more comfortable than sitting up and laying on his bony shoulders. He blinked and gasped quietly in surprise when he felt her head touch his lap and then looked down again, his cheeks suddenly flooding with color. "I-I meant on my shoulder!" he said in a shaky voice, obviously completely taken by surprise. He stared at her for a few moments and then settled down a little, looking a little less flustered. He sighed softly when she said that she would let him know if she decided to go to sleep. He somehow doubted that. He sighed quietly and then almost smiled. "Fine." He said simply. He didn't really have anything else to do. Well...he still hadn't got to feed Nobu like he'd planned. He hoped the poor guy wasn't too hungry. He leaned back a little, using one arm to hold himself up since that was a little more comfortable. After a moment he raised his other hand and laid it on her head, gently stroking his fingers over her hair. "...It's soft..." He said quietly. It was probably even a little softer than his own. He closed his eyes as he continued to play with it absently, stroking it like one might stroke a cat if it curled up in their lap. After a few moments he closed his eyes and started to hum softly to the tune that he usually played on his pipe when he was alone. Listening to it being hummed it sounded a lot more like a lullaby than it did on the pipe, of course that was what it was. He didn't really care too much if she fell asleep on him. He was pretty sure she'd earned a good rest wherever she decided to take it.

Aamori gave another smile when he said that he meant on his shoulder. She cracked an eye open briefly and looked at him. "You should've been more specific then." She said quietly and then shut her eye again. She continued to just lay there quietly at least until he started stroking her hair. She emitted a soft purr, though it was short lived and she rather quickly found herself starting to fall asleep. She had wanted to stay awake, which was why she hadn't agreed to go to her room. She tried to keep from going to sleep but that was near impossible once Celestine had started humming. It was only a matter of minutes before she was out like a light.

Celestine smiled slightly when he heard her purring and just continued to hum something, though he stopped momentarily when he realized that she'd stopped purring. He looked down to her again and blinked before he smiled again, quickly realizing that she had already fallen asleep. "...Heh..." he stoked her hair again and then sighed. "Oh well..." he muttered and he leaned his head back to look up at the sky. After a moment he resumed his song again from where he'd left off, though this time, he was actually singing the words in his native language. Even his soft soprano voice sounded girlish. If anyone ever heard him since without seeing him (or with seeing him in many cases) his voice could easily be mistaken for that of a girl.

Yoichi had finally finished all of his work. It had taken him a lot longer than he thought it would, but that was just because he had been letting it pile up repeatedly because he didn't really want to do it. At least now it was all finished, well, until there was more work to be done. Then it would more than likely just pile up again until Hisako got on his ass about it. He was going to go ahead and just go home now that he was done, he was a bit tired himself and it was already time for dinner. He came back up from the lower levels and shut the door quietly behind him. He started towards the entrance doors and slowly came to a stop when he thought he heard someone singing. He stepped closer to an arch and peeked into the courtyard. He gave a sigh when he saw his sister laying on Celestine. He stood there for a moment longer and then started into the courtyard towards them. It wasn't until he got closer that he realized that Aamori must have been asleep. He shook his head lightly and looked down at Celestine. "...So even when you're singing ...you sound like a girl." He commented with a soft laugh. He focused back on his sister for a moment before looking at Celestine again with a slightly more serious look on his face, which was a little uncharacteristic of him. "If she's asleep... why is she in your lap instead of in her bed?" He asked, obviously not too happy seeing them like this; Even if she was only sleeping.

Celestine wasn't really paying too much attention to what was going on, he was rather enjoying himself just getting to sit there. He hadn't even touched his pipe in days so he guessed singing was the next best thing. It was relaxing at least. When Yoichi spoke he gasped, breaking off int he middle of a word as he turned us upper body around to face him. He clenched his teeth slightly when he realized exactly what he had said and then huffed, looking away, though his cheeks had again turned a nice shade of pink as he glared off toward the other end of the court yard. Why him of all people who could have walked by right now? He glanced back to Yoichi again when he asked why Aamori was sleeping in his lap and then sighed. "She wore herself out while she was practicing that spell she has to learn." He said simply and then continued quickly, "And before you start throwing a fit, Hisako was the one who told me that I could keep an eye on her as long as I promised to get you if there were any big problems, and no there weren't any." He looked away again still blushing a little, "I asked her if she wanted to go back to her room and she said no, so I told her she could lean on me if she wanted to and this was what I ended up with." He said with an agitated sigh, "I told her not to fall asleep on me..." He muttered, apparently getting right back to his usual moody self. "But since she did I didn't feel like listening to her whine if I woke her so I let her sleep. Not like I have anything else to do anyway."

Yoichi stared down at Celestine while he got around to answering his question. He didn't really care to hear how she wound up asleep in his lap, he just wanted to know why. When Celestine was done defending himself he gave a sigh and shook his head lightly. "If she spent most of the day working on that ability she had to learn she isn't going to wake up just because you try to move her." He said as he looked down at Aamori. "She'll be out cold for awhile and probably won't even bat an eyelash for a few hours." At least that's how she ended up after the last two abilities that she had to learn. He looked back to Celestine for a brief moment. "Next time, I suggest just telling her to go get in her bed." He told him as he moved closer and knelt down so that he could pick Aamori up off of him. He stood up straight again once he had a good hold of her and looked back down at Celestine. He had noticed the little color to the guys face and of course was curious considering he had looked away. He saw this as a good enough chance to ask a question he was curious about and it was a bonus in his opinion that his sister was asleep and wouldn't object to his question. "I do have one question while you're still here." He started. "My sister... what is she to you?" He asked in all seriousness.

Celestine sighed heavily and shook his head when Yoichi started to tell him what he pretty much already knew. That wasn't why he hadn't bothered her, he just hadn't really cared. "Well either way...she wasn't really bothering me." he said simply, though once Yoichi picked her up he stretched his legs up and then stood, pulling one let up behind him and then the other, trying to get the feeling back in them. That wasn't the move comfortable way to sit with someone laying on you. He glanced back toward the kitchen, debating on going to get something for Nobu now. He blinked and looked back to Yoichi when he asked what his sister was to him. "...." He stared at him for a few moment then narrowed his eyes a little and looked away, tilting his head and crossing his arms. He actually had to think about this one for a few minutes before he could answer. Yoichi probably could have come the conclusion that he wasn't even going to get an answer before he looked back to him again. "...She's a friend. I guess you could say she's my best friend. She's the first one I've had in a while." He said simply, "...She's clingy, nosy, and annoying as hell, but...I'm getting used to it. I...guess that's about it..." he said simply.

Yoichi continued to stare at Celestine for a few minutes while he waited for an answer. He had come to the conclusion that he wasn't going to get one. Of course the silence made him think the answer was going to be one that he didn't want to hear. He was a little relieved though when Celestine finally did say something. "Friends huh?" He paused and gave a small sigh. "That better be all you two ever are." He uttered quietly. He stood there for a moment longer and looked down at her. Just like most brothers he didn't want to see any guy, regardless of their clan hurt his little sister in any way. Though, he felt it was bound to happen sooner or later. Not necessarily her being hurt by a guy, but her dating a guy. He was just glad that the guys had been kept at bay as long as they had. He glanced back to Celestine for a moment and then turned slightly. "I'm going to go lay her down." He said and then started to walk towards his sisters room. Once he reached it he wasted very little time getting inside and moving to the bed to lay her down on it. He didn't bother covering her up just yet. He set his hand down gently on top of her head and smiled a little before exiting the room, leaving the door open as he walked down the hall to the medical office. He opened the door and stuck his head in asking for the female nurse inside to go change Aamori into something more comfortable. Usually Hisako did that after Aamori had trained so hard but with Hisako not here right now the nurse would have to do. He waited until the girl left the medical office and started to go to Aamori's room before he stepped back over to the courtyard.

Celestine gave Yoichi a dirty look when he said that was all they should ever be. "What else could we be?" he said irritably before he turned to take her to her room. He watched him go and then huffed, and opened his wings again, struggling to fly himself back up to the rooftop again. He perched on the edge and just ran his fingers through his hair a few times before sitting down with his legs hanging over the side of the building. He closed his eyes while the wind blew through his hair and opened his wings a little, hoping the wind and sun would dry him off a little faster. He wasn't as wet as he had been earlier, but he was still pretty damp...or at least damp enough to be bothered. He wasn't really paying much attention to what was going on below now. He was just waiting for Yoichi to decide he was going home since he was pretty sure that was where he was going.

Yoichi returned to the courtyard and glanced around for a moment. He wasn't all that surprised to not see Celestine in the area. After all he had given the guy a good chance to run off without being seen while he was putting Aamori in her room. He gave a sigh and then shrugged lightly before turning back towards the entrance of the building. He'd stayed here longer then he needed to anyway so it was better that Celestine had run off. If he'd still been around where he could see him, he'd more than likely stayed and pestered the guy. He stretched a little as he reached the door. He pulled the door open and was just about to walk out but came to an abrupt stop when he almost walked right into Hisako. Before he could even apologize for almost running into her she'd already asked him if his work was finished. To which he answered with a nod and then continued out the door after she came inside, then he headed home for the night.

Hisako shook her head lightly after Yoichi left so quickly. She guessed he just didn't want to talk about work right now, which of course made her wonder if he even did any of it right. She gave a sigh and was about to start down the hall to the stairs but paused and looked across the courtyard to Aamori's room when she noticed the nurse had shut the door after coming out of the room. Seeing the nurse leaving Aamori's room really worried her, especially since she didn't see anyone else around and Yoichi had been in such a rush to get out of here. She wasted no time at all getting over to the nurse by cutting through the center of the courtyard. She really didn't want to believe that something bad had happened to Aamori after leaving her in Celestine's care. Already she was regretting taking on that work outside of the training grounds. When she reached the nurse she took hold of the poor girls arm rather hard. "What happened... is she alright?!" She asked sounding rather concerned though obviously trying to keep her cool and failing miserably.

The nurse nearly jumped out of her skin when Hisako grabbed a hold of her arm. "H-hisako!" She looked extremely nervous even after the question she was asked. She was skittish all the time so having Hisako a little freaked out like she was only made everything worse. "M-miss A-aamori is fine." She uttered quickly. "S-she's j-j-just sleeping!" She continued nervously. "Y-yoichi asked me to c-change her into s-something more c-comforta-able. T-that's all." She tried to assure her.

Hisako let out a sigh of relief after the nurse finally explained. She slowly released the girls arm and watched for a moment as she scurried back to the medical office. She gave another sigh and dropped her shoulders slightly. "...I got all worried for nothing..." She uttered quietly while glancing back over to Aamori's bedroom door.

Celestine remained perched on the rooftop until he heard the faint sound of the front doors opening and then he finally glanced down. He couldn't see the doors at all from there but it wasn't long before he saw Hisako come hurrying into the courtyard. He glanced around a little more but didn't see Yoichi anywhere, so he sighed softly and was just about to hop off of the roof when the nurse came back out of Aamori's room and Hisako immediately grabbed her. He could just barely hear what was being said from where he sat and was probably only capable of hearing it at all simply because his hearing was sightly more keen than most. He blinked and then sighed softly, shaking his head as he settled back down again. "..." After the nurse finally got the chance to scurry away he pushed himself off of the roof and away from the building, opening his wings again to slow his fall. He glided a little ways across the court yard, much the way that he had the night before when he was coming to Aamori, and then flapped his wings once and touched down a few feet away from Hisako. Once on the ground he folded his wings behind him again and then walked up behind her, placing one hand on his waist. "You worry too much." he said with a half smile. "Welcome back."

Hisako turned her head slowly, glancing back over her shoulder at Celestine when she heard him behind her. "Yeah... thanks..." She uttered followed by a sigh. She really had gotten herself worked up quickly and for nothing it seemed. She turned slightly so that she could look at him without looking over her shoulder. "I'm sure you can understand why I got worried. Honestly, I come back here to Yoichi rushing off without any word of how things are and you and Aamori are no where to be seen... and the first thing I catch sight of is the nurse leaving Aamori's room..." She shook her head a little. "That just looked terrible... especially since the first time Aamori had to learn one of these high level abilities, she nearly drown herself and wound up bedridden for a few days..." She gave a heavy sigh. "...Anyway ...where were you?"

Celestine smiled weakly, "Yeah, guess so..." he said simply. He turned and pointed up to the rooftop where he had been sitting. "The same place I was this morning. I like it up there; it's windy." He said simply, "Plus...Yoichi was down here." he said, rolling his eyes a little. "So after he took Aamori to her room I decided to make myself scarce before he decided to start again." He sighed softly, "Anyway...Aamori isn't hurt at all. She did really well, I think. She managed to summon Nen twice, or at leas ti guess that was his name. The first time he started to go after her then changed it's mind and came after me. The second time he didn't bother me...we're assuming because she stopped him from attacking first time. We were trying to figure something out so I told her she could see if he would get on my arm without hurting me...and he did. Well at lest until LaRae came out of nowhere and scared all three of us half to death then he whiplashed me with his tail and drenched me. We couldn't find where he reformed and he wound up biting into LaRae's leg a little. It wasn't anything bad, or at least I guess not; she wouldn't let me see. Anyway...Aamori told him not to attack anything else unless she told him to. I suppose we wont know if it will listen until tomorrow. I think we at least figured out how to manage it." He smiled weakly, "I just wished I'd thought before I went running to LaRae's rescue, I just carried him over there faster that way since most of the water landed on me." He said with a sigh. "At any rate...that's pretty much what happened. Well other than she ended up falling asleep on me afterward and Yoichi didn't seem too thrilled about it." he added the last bit about her falling asleep on him in a quick muttering tone without looking. He didn't know if Hisako really wanted details, but he figured he may as well give them to her anyway since she wasn't here. He took a deep breath and then exhaled quickly. He didn't know why he was talking so much. He guessed Hisako was just pretty easy to talk to.

Hisako glanced up towards the roof briefly when Celestine pointed in that direction and then she gave a slight nod of her head. That didn't really surprise her now that she heard it. She'd have to make a note to look up there for him if she ever needed him for something. She shook her head a bit hearing that Celestine had run off to avoid dealing with Yoichi. She really needed to do something about that, she couldn't very well have Yoichi flirting with him or any of the girls here all the time. She thought briefly about asking Celestine just for gist of how things went but she didn't even have to ask because before she knew it he was already going into a bit of detail on everything that happened while she was away. She just stood there listening with a half amused look on her face, giving a small nod occasionally to acknowledge that she heard everything. As he finished telling her what happened she tilted her head a little and quirked a brow at how he said the last thing. She gave a soft chuckle as she looked at him. "That last part probably wasn't all too necessary." She pointed out. "But I assume by your saying it, and the way you said it that maybe Yoichi's reaction bothered you?" She assumed that anyway, why else would he really bring that up? It wasn't really anything that she needed to know. She shook her head a little and gave another small laugh. "And here I thought she was just an 'annoying, clingy little sister' to you." She smiled a bit and then shook her head again. "Anyway... thank you for telling me about what happened while I was away. I assume you're alright, and LaRae too. If not then you can both go see medical if you need anything." She told him. "As for this, Nen? I'm not sure of Aamori's specific summon's name but if that's what you heard from her it's probably correct." She paused. "I guess I could have been a little nicer and given you more information about these snakes made from water." She uttered. "Since they've been summoned before there is little we don't know about them. Most of the time they're all the same, at least in abilities. Sometimes though they can learn new ones through their connection to the person who summoned them." She paused. "But what I'm getting at is the regeneration of the snakes is actually well known. They do require at least half of the water from their previous body to reform. If they don't have that they can't reform at all unless their summoner produces more water for them. The snakes can pull their water from just about any object, be it clothing, grass, sand or even regular water. It's actually a pretty neat thing to watch." She said with a nod. "More so, most everything that you guys probably learned today is already something I know." She paused. "But for the sake of Aamori learning all of this on her own I wasn't allowed to give any more information than I already had this morning." She explained. "While I'm at it, admitting things..." She gave a sigh. "I didn't have any real work to do today either. I was asked to sit this one out, to see how far Aamori could get without me forcing her along. Both of the other two Elder level abilities she learned while in my care, through my pushing her to learn them." She paused. "The Elder kind of wanted to see if Aamori could get anywhere without our aid and our knowledge."

Celestine's cheeks flared red again when she asked if what Yoichi had said bothered him and he instantly crossed his arms and looked away. "Of course not, why would I care!?" he said defensively, though he gave her one of those annoyed 'I wish I could backhand you' looks when she threw what he'd said about Aamori earlier back at him. "She was being clingy, I couldn't get up..." he grumbled, trying to act sour. He sighed and cut the act when she started to go on about the snakes, though by the time she had finished with that tidbit of information and the part about her not really having anything to do he was just starting at her with his eyes half open and his arms hanging straight at his sides. He blinked once and his expression was easy to read. 'Please tell me you're joking... I can't believe you people!' He sighed and his ears fell back a little before he straightened up. "...Well I hope I didn't mess up that plan by telling her what I noticed." he said, rubbing the back of his head slightly. "I'm not even sure I was right, I was just going off of what I saw. When she told him to get on my arm she hesitated like she wasn't sure about it...so he hesitated before he moved as well. It looked as if he was playing off of her emotions or...thoughts or...something to that effect." He looked back up to her again, "Is that right?"

Hisako just stared at him and then laughed softly seeing the color of his cheeks and how defensive he got. She grinned slightly. "So why do you care?" She asked curiously. "And don't deny it, you blushed way too much for you to not care." She said with a smirk. She gave another laugh at the way he was acting and then at how easily he could go back to normal when she spoke about something a bit more serious. She shook her head a little when he said he hoped he didn't mess up their plan. "No, you didn't. Since you went into her training just as blind as she did you weren't too much of an aid." She paused. "I'm not trying to say that in a bad way, but if I had been here helping her, I knew everything there was to know already whereas you knew as much as she did. I'd have eventually given in an told her the right things..." She said with a small sigh. "As for the snake, you're pretty much right." She started. "They share a direct connection to their summoner because they share energy. So it's very easy for them to understand one another, there aren't even words that need to be spoken so long as the feeling it strong enough." She paused. "The snakes also read strong emotions pretty well, regardless of who it is. I guess you could look at it like a ripple of water. The closer the person is to the start of the ripples the easier it is for the snake to pick up on vibes, emotions, or thoughts. Though, it's really hard for a snake to pick up on a persons thought and get it clearly, unless it's coming from the summoner." She explained. "With Aamori, she could learn to make that snake do just about anything without even saying a word to it. Which can come in pretty handy because the snake then would be like an extension of herself." She paused. "That's also why every Elder has their own snake. Each snake has a similar personality to their summoner." She started to take a couple steps away from Aamori's bedroom door and headed towards the courtyard. She knew Aamori was asleep but she didn't want to chance disturbing her or having her hear too much just yet. "Oh, another thing." She paused and looked back towards Celestine once she was in the courtyard. "All the hard work is done if Aamori's managed to summon her snake. That is, and always will be the hardest part. So long as she can keep the snake from disobeying her she's already mastered the ability... She just has to understand everything there is to know about it." She paused. "And most of the stuff she has to know, she has to learn as she continues to use the ability. It's actually a really easy thing to master once you've completed the summoning." She said with a slightly nervous laugh. She knew how Aamori must have felt about having to learn this and in such a short amount of time. She even knew that Aamori was probably making this task out like it was something incredibly hard when in all actuality it was probably the easiest ability she had to learn. "Oh and the only downside to this ability is that the snake can become disobedient and if that happens then, well, she'll have to start all over again."

Celestine's cheeks reddened again when she brought up what he'd said before again, but he managed not to say anything until she had finished talking, though apparently her fist jab stuck because as soon as he opened his mouth that was the first thing he responded to, though he'd meant to completely ignore it all together. "Grah, I don't care!" he insisted again, swishing his tail a bit in agitation. "Besides even if I did nothing could come of it. People throw a big enough fit when two commoners from different clans look at each other the wrong way, she's out of the question!" he blurted, then he smacked himself in the forehead when he realized what he'd just done. "I did NOT just say that out loud!" He sighed heavily and tried to get back to the more important matters rather quickly, though he was speaking so fast that she would probably have a hard time catching what he said in his attempt to cover what he'd said just before that, not to mention he kept his head down with his hair in his face so she couldn't see his lips moving either. "A-anyway, th-that's what I thought. About the snake I mean. Y-you know it wouldn't have killed someone to tell her this wasn't so hard. She was making it out the be the hardest thing of all things hard to do last night. and..and...I-I'm going back on the roof, you're too easy to talk to!" he said, obviously a little too flustered to continued the conversation. "Me and my big mouth..." His wings opened again and darted up, though nowhere near as quickly as he had the first time since he was still a little heavier than normal. He touched down on the rooftop over Aamori's room and then sat down and fell over backwards with a heavy sigh. "Damn it!" he muttered quietly as he took a few deeps breaths, trying to recover from speaking so quickly and to calm himself down. Oh wow he could imagine how well that was going to go over later.

Hisako smiled a bit when he denied it yet again though that smile slowly broadened with the following thing he said. She had wondered just how much it was going to take before she could get him to admit to it. She couldn't help but laugh quietly when he smacked himself in the forehead and said he didn't say that out loud. She just stared at him for a few moments when he started to continue on with the more important topic. She tilted her head slightly trying to understand everything that he was saying, but she was finding trouble with that considering how fast he was talking and it didn't help that he was hiding his face. Reading his lips would've made understanding him a lot easier. She gave a sigh as he finished and then flew up onto the roof. She just stood there staring up at the roof. She had managed to pick up on a little of what he was saying, only because she listened for key words that stuck out and tried to make some sense of what he was saying. She shook her head lightly. Unfortunately they couldn't tell Aamori that it wasn't hard for her to master. They wanted to see if she could do everything herself and if she managed to talk herself down because she thought it was hard, well, that was just how it was going to be. Honestly, she'd accomplish more by believing that the ability was harder than it was actually was. Not to mention if she had told her that it was probably the easiest, Aamori would've blown a gasket if she couldn't even manage the summoning. There was some sense to their madness. She continued to stand there a moment longer before turning to head back to Aamori's room. She paused at the door and then slipped inside quietly. She was going to just go back downstairs and check over the work Yoichi had done but she couldn't just go downstairs without checking on her first. She was kind of glad she had, the nurse may have gotten Aamori into her pajamas but she hadn't bothered covering her up or anything. She smiled down at Aamori while she picked up her legs a bit so she could pull the comforter out from under her. Then covered her making sure to tuck the blanket in. She gave a soft sigh and brushed a stray hair from Aamori's face. She spent so much time with Aamori that she had grown to look at her like a little sister, so looking at it from that point of view she was actually quite happy knowing that someone liked Aamori like that. It didn't bother her that much that Celestine wasn't from their clan. She didn't really have anything against any other clan per say, but she was kind of glad that out of all the clans he was from the wind. She was pretty aware of how the people would look at them if they ever wanted to be together and the reactions would be different of course because of what Aamori was but she couldn't so easily say like he had that she was out of the question. If their two clans were going to come together, that would surely be one good way for it to happen. At least in her opinion, especially if Celestine's grandfather was an Elder. Believe it or not, in this clans eyes Celestine was more special than just a commoner because of who he was related to. Just like Yoichi and their parents were special too because they were related to Aamori. She gave another soft sigh and finally pulled herself away from the side of the bed. She headed back outside of the room, shutting the door quietly behind her. Of course she couldn't keep this knowledge to herself, she'd wind up talking to the current Elder about Celestine's little round about confession. Even if nothing developed between he and Aamori it was still important that the Elder be aware of guys interested in Aamori and vice versa. She'd never admit it to anyone but their Elder took a big interest in a Trainee's love life. Mostly because it was hard to sway a Trainee's feelings if they ever fell in love, especially with someone from another clan. If it could be helped they did like to nip things like this in the rear before anything came of it but in the off chance they couldn't keep feelings from developing they liked to know what they were going to be dealing with. It may have looked like Aamori's clan didn't care at all for her feelings about things, but her love life was one of the most important things to them. Mostly because if she was happy then they were going to be happy and if she was sad or hurt, well, then the clan was going to suffer. That was probably a good reason why the current Elder was still single and had no plans to be with anyone until after the new Elder took over. Though, the Elder also knew she couldn't possibly ask Aamori to follow in her foots steps and lock up her heart for the sake of being an Elder. That just wasn't meant for everyone. Hisako gave a heavier sigh and started to head back towards the door that lead to the stairs. She really wished that all of the clans got along better than they did. Things like this would be so much easier for everyone if there was no discrimination just because of the color of ones scales and the element of their abilities. She reached the door and was about to open it but stopped and turned to walk back out to the courtyard. She paused at the arch and set her hand against it as she looked back up at the roof. She wanted to say something to him but the roof was up a little higher than her voice could easily carry. She gave a sigh and stepped away from the arch, letting her wings fall from her back and then stretch out. It didn't take much for her to get into the air. She didn't bother going all the way up onto the roof, rather she flew over to the side she saw him go to and grabbed onto the edge with her hands just before lifting herself up just enough that she could peek over the edge at him. "I was just going to let you know that you are more than welcome to go in and check on her whenever you like." She paused. "Oh, and I'm going to go ahead and go back downstairs now... So you don't have to hide up here." She said with a smile and then just let go of the edge of the roof. She started falling back down to the courtyard but opened her wings just enough to catch herself so that she could touch down in a crouch gently enough. Once she was back on the ground she stood up straight and shut her wings behind her before turning and heading back to the door to go downstairs.

Celestine was just laying there staring up at the sky silently with his arms stretched out to either side of him. He was expecting Hisako to just head back downstairs so he was just getting comfortable until she decided to leave. He was half afraid that if he opened his mouth again he was going to end up saying something else that he didn't meant to. He was still trying to figure himself out as well. He couldn't really decide if he actually liked Aamori that way or not, though he would rather think not just to avoid trouble. He had it pretty well planted in his mind that nothing was going to come of any kind of romantic relationship between members of other clans. He thought that Hikari and Kyran might have a chance simply because Hikari's clan was so lenient, but even that one would be a pain. Those two didn't even have to say anything, it was pretty obvious how they felt, and it was the same for LaRae and Nanashi. He hated to even think what was going to come of those two. The earth clan and fire clan really didn't get along, and he'd learned enough from LaRae to know that the earth clan had no problem offing people of it's own clan, and he knew for a fact they didn't care to go after other clans, so he was really expecting one or both of them to die if they were ever found out. He really didn't want to go through that. Hisako didn't seem to mind, but he didn't know what the elder would have thought about that, and he was half afraid to find out. Being friends was one thing, but anything beyond that was a whole other ballgame. He was a little lost in his own thoughts when Hisako poked her head over the roof, so he nearly jumped out of his skin whens he spoke. He rolled onto his side and stared at her with wide eyes for a moment before she went down. "....." After a moment he sighed and fell over again, closing his eyes for a minute. Why was he so jumpy today? He waited for a few minutes before he finally opened his eyes again and shimmied over to the edge of the roof to look down. He sighed when he saw the empty court yard and finally got up and hopped down again, opening his wings just enough to slow his fall. He crouched down once he reached the ground and folded his wings behind his again as he stood up. He gathered his hair up and slipped it once since some of it was caught in his wings, and then glanced behind him to Aamori's door. He stood there for a few moments and then sighed softly and turned around again, walking back to her door. He stood in front of it for a few moments and then sighed and pushed it open, stepping inside slowly. He glanced around briefly and hovered by the door for a moment. Well this was awkward. He could safely say this was the first time that he had ever been in a girl's room, well a girl his age that wasn't related to him. Finally he took a deep breath and walked over to the bed before he sat down lightly on the edge of it and looked down at her. He smiled slightly and then reached over to her and lightly placed his hand to her cheek. She was pretty cute when she was sleeping.

Aamori was still very much asleep by the time Celestine had come into her room. Had she been awake she probably would've had a nervous fit. Her room wasn't exactly spotless and by no means was she prepared to have anyone, especially him see it. Aside from the bed and the little bench at the foot of it there was also a dresser and a vanity, both of which had slightly cluttered tops. Then the back wall of her room was lined with bookshelves that just happened hold a considerable amount of dust covered books. There was also a desk near the wall of book shelves, that top too was covered in different things. Most which were books and other studying materials. Her room for lack of better words doubled as a study hall and unfortunately it looked like she didn't really have a place to go to just get away from everything. Her room even lacked in windows; They'd been covered up by the bookshelves that were nicely attached to the back wall. That had been done as a way of keeping her from trying to sneak out of her room, especially when she was grounded to it. She wasn't the slightest bit aware of who was in her room but she did know someone was. She was still asleep even after Celestine had sat down on the edge of the bed. She wasn't completely dead to the world because she managed a brief smile when he put his hand to her cheek. She started to move a little in her sleep, at first it looked like she was going to just roll over with her back to him but in the process of rolling onto her side she latched onto his arm tightly and snuggled into the bed like she was cuddling with a stuffed animal.

Celestine noticed her smile and shook his head slightly. He didn't want to wake her up so he started to get up when he noticed her move. Unfortunately, he apparently didn't move his hand fast enough as he soon found her arms wrapped around his rather tightly. "Nyah!" he yelped when she rolled over, consequentially dragging him down on top of her since she had taken his arm with her. His cheeks flooded red again and he tried to sit up, but she had a pretty good grip on his arm and from this angle he couldn't do much about it. He used his other arm to push against the bed and tried to wiggle free but after a few moments he sighed heavily and gave up. "Err..." This was the last situation that he wanted to be caught in. Now he just had to hope no one walked in before she turned him loose. He leaned back against her again and crossed his free arm on her side before he laid his head down on top of it. "...You are such a pain..." he muttered quietly.

Aamori didn't wake even in the slightest after rolling over and taking Celestine with her. She was far too tired to even acknowledge that she'd taken his arm captive and left him with no other option but to lay there and wait. Even though she was fast asleep she had no intention of letting him go. For all she knew she was just clinging to her stuffed animal, though she was unaware that it was still under her bed where she liked to hide it. She continued to lay there snuggled into the bed and his arm for nearly an hour and a half before she finally loosened her grip on his arm enough that he could free himself. Of course any escape attempts before she loosened her grip would have been useless because she'd just absently clamp down even more on his arm. She'd been in a deeper sleep when she took hold of him, then released him when she came out of that deep sleep and now she would be a little easier to wake.
