Hikari had her eyes trained on Nanashi after Kyran pulled his hand back. Her face lit up and she smiled slightly when she heard him cough. She was a little surprised that it had worked, but she wasn't going to start celebrating yet. Only after he'd closed his eyes and continued breathing did she relax a little. She leaned her head back against Nero's leg and looked up at him, smiling at him with an extremely relieved look on her face. After a moment blinked and then tried to sit herself up a little, looking a bit sheepish. She highly doubted that Nero really wanted her leaning on him, especially with everyone else around. She started to put her hand down on the ground to hold herself up but as soon as she touched the grass she gasped quietly and jerked her hand back up again, which caused her to fall back against Nero's leg again. She sighed and brought her hands to her lap while she flattened her ears out. Honestly she's almost forgotten about the burns until then. Her hands were cracked badly in several places where she'd forced them to move so much while she was working. They hurt now whether anything was touching them or not, but she was trying to ignore it still. There wasn't too much to be done about it at the moment, and as far as she was concerned the others still needed to take care of Nanashi. She'd take care of her hands later...like after she woke up.

Celestine cringed when the lightning struck and then looked away for a moment until he heard the cough. He looked back over to Nanashi and smiled when she saw him breathing and blinking. He sighed softly in relief and then looked up to Aamori, raising one hand to wipe the tears from his own face. He then looked back down to LaRae and sighed when he realized that she wasn't even looking. He gave her a tight squeeze and then nuzzled her head gently. He looked back again just to make doubly sure that he was still breathing and that he hadn't died again, and then pulled back a little. "LaRae...He's alive." he said quietly, "Look, he's breathing." he said gently as he raised his hand to her face, pushing on it lightly to try to get her to look in that direction.

Nanashi didn't move when Kyran went to check his pulse, but he would fine a steady one, even if a little weak. Right now he was just physically and mentally exhausted, but so long as nothing else overly strenuous happened to him tonight he would be fine. He wasn't really in pain too much any more and he was resting, so for the most part he was alright. After a few moments his breathing started to even out and shallow once he'd caught his breath. Now he seemed a little more like he was sleeping.

Nero lifted his head up and looked away from Hikari when he saw her look up at him. At least now he was sure that she had seen how Nanashi was, otherwise he doubted she'd have been smiling. He glanced back down at her briefly when he felt her fall back against his leg after she had tried to sit up on her own. He shook his head lightly and then looked away from her again. He for once really didn't mind if she was leaning against him but he wasn't going to tell her that, and if she wanted to sit up on her own whether it hurt her hands or not, he wasn't going to stop her. Although, here pretty soon she was going to have to make up her mind on what she wanted to do because it was getting later and he was just about ready to go to his room if commotion with Nanashi was finished.

LaRae continued to sit there not bothering to turn around and look. Though after Celestine had told her that he was alive, and breathing she did kind of want to look. She looked at Celestine for a moment since he'd pulled back a little. Her eyes were swollen and a little red from crying and her cheeks were ridden with faint trails of tears. She really didn't like anyone seeing her like this but right now that was the least of her worries. She couldn't manage to turn her head herself just from the fear that Nanashi wasn't really alive. She didn't resist when Celestine pushed on her face to get her to look. She did end up turning her head slowly the rest of the way so that she could look, but she'd shut her eyes before she'd turned her head enough to see him. It took her a few moments but she finally cracked her eyes open to look. She just stared at him for a moment after seeing that he was indeed alive and then a small smile crept onto her face. She wanted to go over to him but she didn't budge an inch. She was thinking this was too good to be true, and the last thing she wanted was to go move over to be near him and have herself wake up from a dream or something. If this was a dream then she sure as hell didn't want to wake up from it. She'd more than likely question whether or not this was real or not, at least until she heard from him, herself that he was okay.

Kyran pulled his hand back after he was sure that Nanashi had a steady pulse. He gave a sigh of relief as he sat there continuing to keep an eye on him. He was really glad that had worked, he wasn't sure what they were going to do if it didn't. He sat back a little and finally looked around a bit at everyone else.

Hikari looked back to Kyran and smiled warmly at him when she saw him looking around. She glanced around herself, smiling a little more when she saw the relieved looks on the others' faces. She sighed softly and then looked back to Kyran again. "Kyran, can you take care of the rest?" she asked softly, assuming it was pretty obvious what needed to be done and he was probably the only guy in the group willing to do it. As much as she would have loved to stay and help, she was too tired to keep this up. She finally started to try to get up, though she was careful not to use her hands much, though she had to use the hall of her hands to get anywhere. She was still shaking pretty badly while she tried to move. She was so tired that her legs didn't even seem to want to support her. She started to turn around and almost lost her balance when her other foot left the ground, which caused her to stumble and grab for something to keep her from falling. Unfortunately for Nero he was still the closest thing to her, so she latched onto his arm for dear life. She cringed, glad that she was facing away from everyone else as she screamed silently. "OOOOW!!" "Sorry!" She let go of Nero and shook her hand out quickly before she sighed and started walking again. She was going to have fun trying to open the door to the bedroom but she wasn't about to ask anyone to come with her just for that.

Celestine glanced over to LaRae when she finally managed to make herself look and smiled when he saw her smiling. He raised the back of his hand to her face to wipe away the tear trails and then lowered it again and pulled his other arm back to give her her space. He sighed softly and then glanced over to Hikari when she spoke to Kyran. He watched as she started to get up and nearly tripped over her own feel. He could tell she had already about had it. He'd already forgotten about healing her hands, especially since she'd been using them so easily, though seeing the way she flinched when she grabbed Nero's arm reminded him. He sighed softly and glanced away. He'd get them a little later...maybe even tomorrow since it appeared all Hikari really cared about right now was getting to sleep. He was going to hang around just to make sure there was nothing else that needed done.

Nero looked back to Hikari briefly when she started trying to get up again. He started to look away once she was on her feet though his attention rather quickly darted right back to her when she wound up latched onto his arm like she was. He just stared down at her while she apologized and then watched as she shook out her hand and started walking again. He crossed his arms over his chest and stood there for a moment, having looked away from her. He soon found himself following after her. He wanted to go to his room too, so it wasn't going to hurt to help her a little on his way. Besides, she'd nearly tripped over her own feet just a moment ago and she would've fallen had she not had him to grab onto. Also, since Kyran was obviously going to be a little busy with Nanashi there wasn't too many others he thought who'd drop what they were doing to help her. Then again, he half questioned why he was even putting forth this much effort to help her when he was supposed to be making everyone think he was an ass all the time. Oh well, for today he guessed his niceness could show briefly. Once he reached her he went ahead and just scooped her up in his arms like he usually did. Carrying her was going to be faster and it would keep her from staggering the whole way, possibly even save her from tripping and hurting herself even more. He didn't care one way or the other how she felt about him picking her up, he was going to do what he wanted and he doubted right now that she'd retaliate. He carried her over to the door of the bedroom that she and Kyran had been using and slipped his tail around in front of him to open the door. After he had the door open he stepped inside the room and paused long enough to unwrap his tail from the knob and grab the knob on the inside to pull the door shut a crack before continuing on into the room. He walked straight over to the bed and then started to set her down as gently as he possibly could. Once she was laying on the bed he stood upright and was just going to leave the room, but he looked her over once and saw that she still had her boots on. Now those couldn't possibly be comfortable to sleep in and judging by Hikari's hands there was no way in Arienh that she could use her hands and get them off without hurting herself. He gave a small sigh and moved to sit on the edge of the bed. He thought briefly about telling Hikari what he was about to do, but he really didn't want to listen to her protest about him taking her boots off for her. He moved his hand over just on the inside of her leg closest to him. He knew her boots zipped up on the inside of her leg, and she was bound to take this the wrong way. He gently set his hand down on her leg, near her calf first, setting his middle finger on the track for the zipper. Then he started lightly following the track of the zipper up her leg, slowly under her skirt and all the way up her thigh until he felt the zipper itself. He then pinched the zipper between his fingers, while maintaining a completely straight face then began unzipping her boot, moving his hand down a lot faster than it went up. Once the boot was unzipped completely he moved to remove the boot, then dropped it onto the floor.

Kyran focused on Hikari when she asked him if he could take care of the rest. He gave a nod and then looked back down at Nanashi for a moment. He did look back to Hikari briefly to see her nearly trip and then start on her way to their room. He wanted to help her, but he needed to take care of Nanashi first since he had kind of been asked to in a round about way. He was a bit relieved though to see that Nero was helping her to the room. At least he knew she'd make it there without falling that way. He turned his head back down to Nanashi and then shifted slightly before lifting his eyes to look over at LaRae. "He, obviously needs to be cleaned up... I'm going to go ahead and take care of that." He paused. "LaRae, do you think I could get you to make sure the bed is ready for him?" He asked. "...So once he's cleaned up he can just be put straight into the bed, easily." He added. He didn't really need to have her do that, it wouldn't be that much more work to fix the bed so that the covers could be put over him after he was in it, but he thought giving her something to do might be good for her. After he asked if she could do that for him he didn't bother really waiting for an answer before he shifted so that he could more easily pick up Nanashi. He just as he usually did when carrying someone, slipped an arm under his knees and had the other at his back. Once he had a good hold of him he started to stand up. Lifting him from that position was definitely a little harder than lifting any of the others he'd carried. After he got to his feet he took a deep breath and stood there for a moment, shifting weight around a little.

LaRae looked right back to Celestine as soon as he wiped the tear trails from her face, she just kind of stared at him for a moment. He sure was being really nice. Her attention shifted a bit when she heard Hikari's question posed at Kyran. She looked right back over to Nanashi and then to Kyran. When Kyran asked her if she could get the bed ready she gave a delayed nod. Of course she could do that. She watched while Kyran picked up Nanashi and then she started to get to her feet too. She was going to wait until Kyran left before she went to get the bed ready.

Hikari wasn't really expecting any help from anyone right now, so she startled when Nero picked her up. Had she been feeling just a little bit better she might have told him that she could walk on her own, but as of right now she just sighed softly and leaned her head against his shoulder tiredly. She could have almost fallen asleep right there, and almost did when she closed her eyes. Once Nero started to put her down on the bed she cracked her eyes open and looked up at him, offering him a weak smile. "Thank you." she said quietly before closing her eyes again, expecting him to just leave. She didn't even care about her boots, she just wanted to get to sleep; she'd worry about cleaning herself up tomorrow. Her eyes shot open again when she felt a hand on her leg and she looked at Nero, blinking in confusion though when he started running his finger up the inside of her leg her face turned beet red and she stiffened. For one, that felt weird, and she had no idea what he was doing, for another, he was getting a little too close to her personal space fer her liking. Her ears shot up and her eyes widened his his hand went under her skirt and her tail lashed out, smacking him in the side, though not quite hard enough for it to really hurt...much. "WHAT do you think you're do--" she cut off when she felt the zipper coming loose and then groaned when she realized he was just taking her boots off. Her tail fell limp over the side of the bed and she sighed, though her face was still pretty red. "..........Would it kill you to give a girl some warning before you stick your hand up her skirt!?" she scolded in that tired voice again. She almost felt like smacking him but right now...she was too tired. This was almost worse than him walking up on her in his underwear.

Celestine sighed softly and watched as Nero carried Hikari off and then looked back to Kyran again when he got up, holding Nanashi. He sighed softly and then closed his eyes for a moment and looked back to the wall where he'd set down his bowl of fruit. Hikari never even got to take a nibble of her salad, nor had he gotten to eat any of his fruit. He really wasn't even in the mood to eat anymore, though he was sure Nobu would have no trouble. He glanced back to Kyran for a moment and noticed the way that he was just standing there shifting about. He guessed the poor guy did get saddled with a pretty awkward job. He really wanted no part of it, though he might have offered to help if it wouldn't have involved using his hands. They may not have been as badly burned as everyone else's but they still hurt and warm water was the last thing he wanted to touch. He finally turned and started walking, "I'm going to feed Nobu." he said simply as he went to the bowl. He knelt down and pressed against each side of the bowl with his wrists, trying not to actually touch it with his hands as he picked it up and started walking back over to the room he'd been using. He came to an abrupt stop at the arch and stare for a moment before he tilted his head with a bemused look. "...Um..." He turned back around and sighed as he sat the bowl down on the ground and then looked back to LaRae, raising his hands to either side of his mouth to focus the sound better. "...LaRae...Think you could put him down first!?" he called to her, sounding half amused. He shook his head and then turned back to Nobu, walking over to him. He raised his hand and rubbed the top of the canine's head with the back of his hand. "You okay, Nobu?" he asked softly.

Nanashi responded to Kyran lifting him off of the ground with a quiet groan, though he didn't offer to open his eyes. Initially he had passed out on him, though by now he was only in a very deep sleep. He hung limply in his arms, his head hanging back slightly. The fang necklace that he always wore had spun around backwards and was dangling off the back of his neck, though it had managed to get pretty bloody as well. There wasn't much on him that hadn't gotten torn up or covered in blood.

Nero barely reacted when she hit him in the side with her tail even though it did sting a little. That was pretty much inevitable, getting hit with a dragon tail just had a tenancy to sting. He lifted his eyes up and looked at her for a moment when she scolded him. He just stared at her with his usual straight face and then shrugged a little. "Your boots needed to come off and you couldn't very well do it yourself." He said as he dropped his eyes back down to her legs. He shifted a little so that he could reach over to her other leg with his other hand. He set his hand down on her leg and followed the other track up the same way before he found the zipper, pinched it and started to pull down. "And if I had given you fair warning, I highly doubt you'd have let me take your boots off. You probably would've just laid here with them on the whole night just because you didn't want anyone reaching that high up just for a zipper." He said as he started to pull her boot off and drop it off the side of the bed beside her other one. Since both of her boots were removed he stood up from the edge of the bed and stretched a little before turning around to look at her again. He gave a slight sigh. "Here's your warning, you're about to get covered up." He told her as he reached over and slipped his arm under her knees to lift up her legs and her rear so he could pull the blanket out from under her. He then set her legs back down and pulled the blanket over her. He then moved again to pick up her tail since it was just hanging limply over the edge of the bed. He then slid it back on the bed, under the blanket. He made sure to tuck the blanket partly under her so that she couldn't just whip her tail at him again. "There..." He uttered quietly before glancing back at her. "You know... judging by the color of your face after I touched you like that I'd assume you thought I was going to take advantage of you or something." He laughed quietly. "To think, you of all people would jump to such a conclusion." He was quiet for a moment and then started to move to the end of the bed. "Well, I assure you it's not in my nature to take advantage of any woman like that as it goes against my morals and my upbringing." He told her. "Now, aside from that... is there anything else you need before I go?" He asked quietly before glancing towards the door.

Kyran continued to stand there only until he had seen LaRae's answer to his question. He might have even been holding out a little longer to see if someone, namely Celestine might have offered to help. He sighed softly hearing that Celestine was going to go feed Nobu. Well, at least someone was keeping an eye on Nobu. Since he hadn't seen the animal in a couple days he'd kind of forgotten about him. He finally got his feet moving and started towards the door to the baths. This was going to be so awkward and wasn't it his luck to get stuck with a job like this. He guessed he really didn't mind, the guy did need to be cleaned up and it wouldn't be right for the only other person who might do it, to do it. So long as stuff like this didn't become a regular thing he was pretty sure he'd just get over it. When he reached the door he uncurled his tail and used it to open the door since his hands were full. Once he was inside and the door was shut behind him, he just kind of stared in awe at the size of the bath and the way things were laid out. Seeing the layout of the baths really didn't make him feel any better about being the one stuck to bath Nanashi. Since it was just one giant bath it wasn't going to be as easy as just dropping the guy in a tub and cleaning him off from the side of the tub. It looked like he was going to have to get into the bath too or else this was going to be extremely difficult and he'd stand the chance of the guy drowning if he didn't get in too because he'd more than likely have to held up. He gave another sigh and started to walk over screen and the shelving with the towels and stuff. He really hoped that through this process Nanashi didn't wake up and get the wrong idea.

LaRae watched as Kyran started to leave for the baths. She hadn't even focused on Celestine saying he was going to feed Nobu. She did however have an extremely embarrassed look on her face as soon as she heard what Celestine said about letting him down. "...I completely ...forgot." She mumbled quietly. She shook her head lightly. She'd told him she'd let him down in a few minutes and well... it'd been way longer than that. She hurried over to them and then started to kneel down next to the roots right where they'd come out of the ground. "...I'm sorry, Nobu." She uttered as she set her hand down on the root itself and her hand began to emit a earthy colored green. The roots began to move slightly, lowering Nobu down onto the ground since he'd been suspended nearly three feet in the air. Once he was down the roots started to unwrap themselves from around his middle and then seep back into the ground. As she finished she lifted her hand up from the grass and the aura faded. She gave a small sigh and glanced at Celestine while she got back to her feet. "...Not that you asked for an explanation ...but I did that involuntarily when Nanashi first screamed." She paused. "Nobu, well, he wouldn't move and because of that I couldn't get up." She explained briefly. She stood there for a moment and then started over to the door to her and Nanashi's room.

Nobu was barely even moving by the time that Celestine came over to him. He'd grown tired of trying to wiggle his way free and just let himself go limp while he was stuck there. He did finally lift up his head a little though when Celestine rubbed the top of his head. He was kind of glad to see he hadn't been completely forgotten. '...I will be once I regain the feeling in my legs.' He answered. He'd been hanging like this so long that his legs had gone to sleep. When LaRae came back over, finally and started to let him down he was relieved. He wasn't upset or anything that she'd temporarily forgotten about him, after all it was kind of his own fault that he ended up like that in the first place. Once he was let down and was laying on the ground he just rested his head against his front legs.

Aamori watched while everyone took off and then gave a slight sigh. She guessed she could easily go back to bed right now if she wanted to, but seeing as Kyran was going to clean Nanashi up she thought she might look into something else for Nanashi to wear at least to sleep in while his clothes got washed. There was no reason to clean him up if you were just going to put him back into dirty clothes, at least in her opinion anyway. She was pretty sure that she could go downstairs and find something in the laundry room that would fit him, after all they housed quite a few people below and one of them was bound to be roughly Nanashi's size. She started over, through the arch to the door that Hisako and her brother usually used to get downstairs. She hated to admit it, but she'd never really been down in the lower level before. She sighed softly when she set her hand on the door and opened it. The stairwell was actually kind of dark now that she was looking down and she wouldn't be surprised if she tripped and fell down the stairs. She took a deep breath and proceeded down the stairs after pulling the door shut a little behind her. She still couldn't believe that after living here as long as she had, she'd never been down here before. Then again, she never really had a need to go down here and every other time she'd tried to take a peek someone had stopped her. She didn't think anyone would be awake right now so she'd be able to look around without being noticed, or at least she thought that until she wound up missing a step on her way down and she slipped, tumbling the rest of the way down the stairs until she ended up flattened on the floor at the base of the stairs.

Hikari didn't resist when he went to remove her other boot, though she still shifted uncomfortably when he had to reach under her skirt. It wasn't so much that she thought he was trying to do something as it was that she just didn't feel comfortable having anyone's hand that far up her leg but her own. "And you're probably right." she muttered in response to his comment about her keeping them on all night because she didn't want anyone's hand that far up her leg. Again,s he expected him leave once he'd gotten the other boot off, so she was surprised when he said that she was about to get covered up and he started to lift her. Again, she blushed a little, just because she hadn't been tucked in like this since she was a little child. It was kind of nice, but kind of awkward at the same time. Either way, she didn't really complain, though she didn't look at him. She settled against the pillows, finding it hard to even keep her eyes open now that she was laying in the bed again. She looked over to him when he said that he thought she thought he was going to take advantage of her and then sighed. "...Not exactly..." she muttered. She hadn't really thought that he was going to do anything to her, she was just extremely uncomfortable with the situation and taken completely by surprise by his actions, though somehow she thought he knew that he'd get that kind of reaction out of her after the way she reacted to just seeing him in his underpants. She shook her head slightly, "I never know what to think when you're around, Nero. I know you're decent and kindhearted when you want to be." she smiled weakly, "I just can't ever tell what you're thinking." She closed her eyes again and sighed softly, "No...I'm fine now. Thank you, Nero..." she said quietly, "...Goodnight..."

Celestine watched as LaRae started to let Nobu down and then sighed when she told him what had happened. "...Understandable, I guess." he said simply. He sighed again as he watched her go back to her room and then looked down to Nobu again and knelt beside him. He stroked the top of his head with the back of his hand again for a moment and then stood up and walked back over to the bowl, pushing it up to Nobu with his foot. "Here...I brought you some food." He told him before he sat beside him again, "...I'm sorry it took so long...I've been meaning to do it all day. I just kept getting side tracked." His own stomach growled quietly, protesting his decision to give everything to Nobu. He ignored it, however. After all, Nobu hadn't eaten in two days that he knew of, and on top of that, he didn't want to go trying to pick p acidic fruits with burned hands. He already knew any juice that touched the burns would hurt like hell and he didn't feel like fumbling with the knife to try to eat right now. He looked back to Nobu again and ran the back of his hand along his spine. "Is your back alright?"

Nero stood at the foot of the bed for a few moments longer. He actually smiled slightly when she said that she couldn't ever tell what he was thinking. That was a good thing, he didn't want to be that easy to read. Especially since he acted like two different people sometimes. Most of the time he was everything you'd expect a typical dark clan dragon to be, maybe even a little worse since he was in the military too and then he had his nice side which was pretty much a direct opposite of how he usually acted around everyone. He was only ever mean and hurtful around the group because it was abnormal for a dark dragon to be accepting of the other clans. He chose who and when to be nice to someone and so far it seemed Hikari was getting to see the most of this side of him. He gave a slight nod when she said that she was fine. "Goodnight." He responded quietly and then started for the door. He stepped outside and made sure that he shut the door quietly behind him before he moved over to the door to his room and slipped inside. He shut his door behind him and went straight over to the bed to sit down and start taking his boots off, then empty out his pockets on the night stand. He gave a sigh and brought his legs up onto the bed and laid back to get comfortable.

Kyran stopped behind the screen and then started to set Nanashi down on the ground with his back against the wall. He stood up straight once he'd set Nanashi down and gave a slightly heavier sigh as he stepped back over to the shelf that held the towels. He really just wanted to get this done and over with and hopefully without too much embarrassment. He started grabbing a couple towels and wash cloths. He set those on top of the shelf for a moment then started to unlace his boots before standing up and kicking out of them. He picked up the things he'd pulled out and then started back past the screen out towards the bath, following that strange spongy floor that lead to the steps into the bath. He set the towels and wash cloths down beside the bath and then turned around and went back behind the screen. He stood there for a moment and looked down at Nanashi before sighing again. He guessed he'd better get over this being uncomfortable or else nothing was going to get done. He finally knelt down to remove his shirt, being careful when he slipped Nanashi's arms out of the arm holes that he didn't rip the shirt any more than it already was. He pulled Nanashi forward just a little so that his back wasn't against the wall and then lifted his shirt up over his head before setting him back. He looked the shirt over briefly before setting it down on the floor just off to the side. Nanashi really was going to be in need of some new clothes, what happened to him tonight really had damaged the ones he was wearing badly and they weren't in that great a shape to begin with. His clothes for now could just stand to be washed. He looked back down at Nanashi and shook his head a little. Right about now he really wished that he'd had someone elses help because removing his pants was bound to be a little difficult with just one person. He sighed and reached out to move Nanashi from the wall then laid him down on the floor to try and make it easier to slip his pants off. He struggled a little but managed to get them off along with his underwear. Well that was still awkward no matter how he thought about it. He didn't bother looking Nanashi over that much, even though he had seen quite a few scars on him. He stood up and turned away from Nanashi long enough to strip down himself. He set his clothes down next to Nanashi's and then heaved a sigh as he started back over to Nanashi and knelt down beside him to pick him up. Once he had a hold of him again he stepped out from behind the screen and headed back towards the bath. He was very careful once he reached the edge of the bath where the steps were that went down into the water, taking those one step at a time and trying to watch where he was going. He really didn't need to slip at a time like this. He was at least glad that the water was comfortable, it was warm and thankfully not too hot. He was a bit more relieved once he was in the bath when he saw the little bench that was along the one edge of the bath. It was submerged a foot give or take from the edge of the bath. At least it looked like he wasn't going to have to hold Nanashi while he cleaned him up, well, unless Nanashi couldn't stay sitting up on his own. Again, this was about the time he had wished someone had been able to help him out with this. He moved over to the bench and started to set Nanashi down on it, being careful while doing so. He set his hands on his shoulders and leaned him back just a little against the edge of the bath and then started to remove his hands slowly to see if he'd be able to sit up on his own or not. If he started to fall, well, that meant he was going to have to hold onto him through this and he really didn't want to have to do that.

Nobu lifted his head a little when Celestine moved the bowl of fruit over in front of him. Of course he was hungry, half starved actually but he didn't just dive into the bowl just yet. He was still waiting for the fuzzy feeling to work it's self out of his legs before he started moving, even if it was just to eat. He looked to Celestine when he heard his stomach growl and then when he asked about his back. '...My back was better this morning. It's a bit sore again because of the way I was just hanging there, but I'll be alright.' He answered. He pawed at the ground a little, inching his front legs out a little with each paw. He was steadily getting the feeling back and by now he really couldn't resist the food sitting in front of him. He lifted his paw up and moved it to the bowl before pushing down on the edge of it to knock the food out of the bowl. Right now he didn't want to stand up so it was easier to just knock the bowl over and pull the food to him. He reached over and took one of the fruits in his mouth as it rolled closer to him and ate it whole. He sat there for a moment before he tilted his head slightly, obviously not sure about the taste. 'I don't think you eat off the floor, but if you're hungry you should probably eat too.'

Once Nero was out of the room, Hikari turned onto her side with a soft sigh and nuzzled into the pillow, turning her hands so that her palms were facing up and not pressing against the covers. It wasn't long after she rolled over that she was sound asleep. She really was exhausted after her little workout. She didn't even have the energy to ponder over Nero's bazaar actions.

Nanashi still wasn't very responsive while Kyran moved him around. Normally he was very easy to wake but at the moment he could probably sleep through a gong going off by his ear. He moved like a rag doll while Kyran removed what was left of his shirt. Had be been awake at all he would have protested this entire thing no matter how badly he needed bathed. He was extremely self conscious, with good reason. On top of the scars on his arms that everyone had already seen, his chest was ridden with old scars that were obviously before the latest shirt's time. Lighter colored claw marks dragged diagonally across his chest, some crossing over others. His sides looked as if they had been gashed open a few times as well, as did his back in several places. His back was the worst considering that he usually tried to curl in on himself, which lest mostly his back exposed. There were several marks on his scrawny frame that looked as if he had been burned as well. Once Kyran was able to wrestle him out of his pants it would be clean that his legs hair fared no better than his torso. They were also ridden in gash scars as well as a few burns. It seemed most of his injuries seemed to have come from his own clan's element. The biggest reason that he was so self conscious about being seen without something covering him was something that wasn't there more than something that was. He had a definite lack of a couple of things that would make the bitter comment to Kyran back in Radha when he was talking to him about interclan relations make a little more sense. He could never taint the bloodlines any further even if he wanted to; his clan had made sure that his tainted blood would die with him. Even when Kyran picked him up again he didn't really respond, though he shivered slightly. His body temperature was already going back down from the extreme heat that it had been. Once he was set back against the wall he remained where he had been placed, his head hanging forward slightly. His bandanna was still handing around his head loosely from where it had been ripped halfway in two and the very top of the slit of his eye, which was now closed, was just barely visible, though it resembled another scar at the moment more than anything. His necklace was still hanging around his neck backwards from the way that it usually hung.

Celestine sighed softly and shook his head a little. "It's fine....I'll eat tomorrow. My hands hurt too much tonight." he said quietly. He smiled weakly and continued to rub Nobu's back with the back of his hand. "Heh, tastes weird, doesn't it?" he said lightly when he saw the way that he reacted to the taste of the fruit. "...It's pretty good...at least it's food." He sighed again and leaned over against Nobu lightly, laying his head down on the canine's shoulder

Kyran was quite relieved that Nanashi didn't fall over when he set him back against the wall. He pulled his hands back completely and sat back in the water for a moment. He might have found this bath and the atmosphere more relaxing if he wasn't left cleaning up a stinky, sweaty, and bloody sleeping Nanashi. After he sat there for a few minutes he finally got moving again. He went back over to the stairs and grabbed one of the wash cloths before he started back over to Nanashi. He ended up going past him to the other side of the bath for a moment since he'd spotted some bottles sitting in a flat dish. He inspected them briefly before taking two of them along with a decently sized sea shell that looked like it could be used to scoop up water and then returned to Nanashi, setting the bottles and shell down just off to the side of him on the edge of the bath. He took the cloth in one hand and then reached for the bottle that was labeled 'soap'. Judging by the bottles he guessed that everything they used here they made themselves. He popped the lid of the bottle after wetting the cloth, then put the soap onto the cloth. He then put the bottle back and rubbed the cloth together a little before he reached over and picked up one of Nanashi's arms and started to clean it off. He continued cleaning him up, making sure to get both arms cleaned and free of blood before moving on to his neck and torso and of course using that shell he'd brought over to help wash the soap off since he didn't want to go submerging Nanashi. It was pretty much impossible not to take notice to all of the marks, scars and burns on his body while he was cleaning him up. There were just so many of them and it really didn't take a whole lot to guess what had happened, considering the burns and all. Cleaning him up started to get easier once he got started, he focused more on what he was doing rather than who he was cleaning. Though in the back of his mind he was thinking he would've preferred the first time he had to give someone else a bath, that it had been someone of the opposite sex. Bathing another guy, was just weird. He finally managed to get him all cleaned except for his hair and he'd saved that for last. He'd noticed when he was washing his neck that he hadn't taken his necklace off so he was just now getting around to turning that back around the right way. After looking at it, it was probably better that he had forgotten to remove it. The fang hanging from the chord was pretty bloody itself so he took this time to wash it off too. Since he was done with the cloth he wrung it out a little and then set it down along with the shell back beside the bottles. He sighed softly and looked back to Nanashi, getting ready to start on his hair next. He felt kind of silly now that he was looking, along with the necklace he hadn't taken off the bandanna. Though he felt that was because Nanashi never too that thing off so it was almost like it was a part of him and he had just completely overlooked it. He reached up, around his head to undo the knot in the back as carefully as he could, trying not to pull too much of his hair in the process. He probably could've just ripped the thing the rest of the way since it was almost in two pieces but he wasn't going to go destroying anything of his even if it was pretty torn up. He started to pull the bandanna down and away from his face. As he pulled it down he'd only expected to see a scar of some sort since that's what looked like was peeking out from the bandanna he was rather surprised to find he was way off. He for once actually jumped when he saw what Nanashi had been hiding under the bandanna that he never removed. He startled so badly that when he jumped back he slipped on the slightly slick floor of the bath and fell back into the water, taking the bandanna with him. W-what in Arienh was that?! It looked like a third eye... no... it couldn't be, could it? He was under the water for a few moments before he regained some of his composure and sat up, popping his head out of the water to look again to see what exactly it was that he had seen. Oh yeah... that's an eye... no mistaking it... it even has an eyelid... He continued to sit there, a short distance from Nanashi, just staring at that... eye in the middle of his forehead.

Nobu started to reach for another fruit with his paw, moving it closer so that he could pick it up with his mouth and eat it like the last one. Again he wasn't so sure about the taste, but at least it was edible. These fruits were nothing compared to apples, why couldn't this territory have apples? He continued to lay there for a moment before he pawed at another fruit, moving it closer to him. 'If you're hungry you could always ask someone to help you eat, since your hands hurt.' He paused. 'Asking for help isn't really all that demeaning... I mean I can't usually eat without someone's help, then again... I can't exactly ask for the help either...' So maybe he was wrong. Asking for help to eat probably did make someone look bad, just a little. He turned his attention back down to the fruit he'd brought closer and then reached down to finish it off.

Aamori finally managed to finish her hunt downstairs for something that Nanashi could wear to bed, at least. She didn't have too much trouble downstairs since every room down there was labeled and easy to read. The hardest part was finding clothes that looked like they'd fit Nanashi. She did find something similar to what she wore to bed, the differences being that the sleep pants were actually pants that would go down to his at least the top of his foot and then just a regular short sleeved shirt. Both of course made from a light, soft cotton fabric but a much darker blue color then the pajamas she was wearing. Once she made it up the stairs back to the main level she shut the door behind her and gave a sigh. She was at least glad that the trip up the stairs was easier than the trip down. By the time she had to tackle the stairs again her eyes had already adjusted to the dimly lit lower level. Her little trip down the stairs hadn't been very pleasant and judging by the mess her hair was currently in along with faint bruising she had on one of her arms and then on her foot it was probably obvious she'd fallen. She stood by the door for a moment before she started to head towards the guestrooms. She thought to check first to see if Kyran had finished cleaning Nanashi already, though she kind of doubted it. When she neared the doors she spotted Celestine still there with Nobu and smiled slightly before she stepped over to them. Since the door was shut to the room that LaRae and Nanashi were using she didn't want to just go knock on the door and chance disturbing whoever was in there, again by chance that Kyran had already dropped Nanashi off in bed. She looked down at Celestine while she held the clothes folded in her arms. "Is Kyran finished yet?" She asked before lifting her eyes slightly to look towards the bath. She really didn't want to take the clothes herself if they were still in there. After all, that was the males bath. Though, she guessed if she had to, she could slip them in there without looking.

Nanashi still hardly moved while Kyran cleaned his body. He actually seemed to relax a little more than he already was. It was hard to deny that a nice soapy wash cloth felt good, as did getting all the gunk off of your skin. He was perfectly fine up until Kyran removed the bandanna from his head, then he started to get a little antsy. He could feel someone messing with it, but he couldn't seem to wake himself up to stop them. The golden eye opened only a couple of seconds after the bandanna was removed and he instantly started to pick up on Kyran's thoughts as loudly as if he were screaming. He was already conscious, though he had yet to open his other eyes yet. A few moments after Kyran had gotten up and started staring at his eye he started to come around and raised his head enough that he could see out in front of him, though without opening his eyes all he saw was a large purple dragon looming over him. He freaked out before he even had time to open his eyes, jerking back suddenly with a startled scream that echoed through the room. His eyes snapped open, though he barely say Kyran beneath the image of his true form, and he probably wouldn't have registered it just yet even if he had. His back smacked against the wall and he looked around frantically, having no idea at all where he was at the moment. His first instinct was to jump up and run, though as soon as he tried he found himself slipping, realizing half a second too late that he was in the baths. "Ahh!!" A second later he disappeared under the water, mid-yelp. He gagged as the watered flooded his mouth and nose and then latched onto the bench quickly, hauling himself back up. Well...that was one way to get his hair wet. He clung to the bench for dear light, shaking terribly with his back half turned to Kyran while he coughed up the water he'd inhaled, holding one fist pressed tightly to his pounding heart while he took in several keep breaths trying to calm down. Were he not half submerged in water his legs probably would have given out under him and caused him to fall again, they were already shaking worse than anything, but he water was helping to hold him up. He managed to find the sense to reason with himself. There was only one purple dragon around here and he knew Kyran wouldn't hurt him. Finally he moved his hand to his forehead to cover the third eye and looked around the edge of the tub quickly for his bandanna, though a moment later he finally seemed to realize that he was naked. He froze and his ears flattened back as far as they could possibly go before his tail swung around his moved in front of him as if he was trying to hide himself, though h already knew by now Kyran had had plenty of time to see every bare inch of him since he almost had to have been the one to put him in here. Even with his coppery skin the color was apparent on his face as his cheeks almost matched his hair. This had to be the single most awkward position that he could ever be put in.

Celestine shook his head at Nobu and sighed, "No comparison...." he said simply, "You don't even have hands, no one expects you to fend for yourself..." he said simply. He nuzzled against Nobu's shoulder again and sighed, "I'll just wait. If someone has to feed me, I'll starve first." he said simply. He wasn't about to let someone poke food in his mouth just because his hands were sore, he'd suck it up and do it himself first. He just wasn't quite hungry enough to suck it up just yet. When Aamori walked up on him a few moments later he startled and then looked up to her with a heavy sigh as he sat up off of Nobu again. "No, he's still in there." he said simply. "Nanashi was pretty filthy, he's probably not even half done." he said with a sigh. He looked at her hair for a moment, though he couldn't see much else of her her hair was enough to tell him that she'd had some issues. "...Don't tell me you rolled yourself down the stairs..."

Kyran continued to sit there and stare at the eye, not quite so freaked out by it after looking at it long enough. It was still strange and he was awfully curious about it. He tilted his head a little when he noticed Nanashi lift his head a little though he hadn't opened his other eyes just yet. When Nanashi screamed he startled a bit himself, mostly because he couldn't explain why Nanashi screamed. He watched Nanashi for a moment, still caught a little off guard by his echoing scream. When Nanashi started to slip and go under the water his first reaction was to go help but he paused when he saw that he'd grabbed a hold of the bench and was pulling himself up. He sat there, mostly waiting for Nanashi to calm down a little before he moved or even said anything. He didn't want to startle the poor guy any more than he already had especially considering Nanashi's heart had been stopped and he was dead not all that long ago. After just watching Nanashi for a few moments longer he couldn't help but give a soft laugh noticing that he must have just realized that he was naked and his tail was probably being used to help cover himself up a little. Seeing Nanashi acting the way he was actually relieved him a little. He felt all of this was awkward and had since he started. "...Are you okay, Nanashi?" He asked quietly using a tone he hoped wouldn't startle him. He really didn't want to give Nanashi's heart another scare and the last thing he needed was for him to get so alarmed that his heart gave out on him while they were in here. He wouldn't be able to shock him again considering they were both wet. He glanced down briefly and noticed the bandanna floating there. He must have let go of it when he fell back in the water. He reached out and picked it up again, holding it out slightly. "...Were you looking for this?" He asked, guessing that was what he was looking for before he realized that he was naked in the bath.

Nobu continued to paw at the fruits bringing them over to him one at a time and eating them. He lifted his head up again after he'd eaten another fruit and turned his head slightly towards Celestine. 'You're a little too stubborn.' He commented. It may have just been because he was an animal and not a dragon, so it was possible he just didn't understand but he didn't see the sense in purposely letting yourself starve just because you didn't want to ask someone to help you out when you couldn't help yourself. He turned his head again and looked up at Aamori for a moment when she came closer and then lowered his head back down as he reached for another fruit.

Aamori gave a slight nod when Celestine said that they were still in there. That was good, now she just had to the clothes in there for Nanashi. She looked back down at Celestine when she heard what he said about the stairs. She shook her head lightly. "I didn't roll down the stairs." She uttered. "...The stairwell was pretty dark and I missed a step." She paused. "Then I fell down the rest of the way." She said and then gave a sigh. She hadn't been very clumsy lately so she kind of thought she might have been recovering from that or maybe growing out of it. She also hated that it was apparently obvious that she'd fallen down the stairs. She hadn't seen herself so she really couldn't tell that her hair was messed up, but it was, and enough that quite a few sections of her hair had come out from under her horns. She glanced down at the clothes in her arms and then looked back to Celestine again. "I found some pajamas that I thought would fit Nanashi, so that he doesn't have to wear his bloody clothes while he rests..." She said quietly. She was pretty sure that he would catch onto where she was going with this, but either way she'd still ask. "Can I talk you into taking these in there?"

Nanashi closed his eyes for a moment and nodded weakly when he asked if he was alright. He guessed he was. His limbs felt like lead and his head still ached a bit but he was doing a little better. Unfortunately he wasn't able to remain standing up much longer. He tried he push himself back onto the bench with the hand that wasn't covering his head but he eventually gave up and sank down onto his knees in the water, keeping his arm on the bench so that he wouldn't fall over. He was more comfortable being up to his shoulders in water anyway, he was less visible. He still couldn't bring himself to look at Kyran, though he glanced over to him slowly when he held out the bandanna. "...uh...uh-huh..." he muttered quietly. He slowly lowered his hand away from his forehead and reached over to that the bandanna with one shaking hand, trying to keep his head turned away from Kyran. "...Wh-why...am I...what happened?" he asked quietly. He looked down at the bandanna and sighed when he saw that it was torn in two places. He tried to fold it over so that the torn area would be tucked under, but then it was too thin to fully cover his eye. He groaned and then just flipped it up onto side of the tub and put his hand back over his eye again. Kyran had already seen it he was sure, there was no need to try to hide it now, really. "...Please...don't tell anyone..." he said quietly.

Celestine just half smiled at Nobu's comment. He was stubborn, but he just preferred to do most things on his own. He stroked Nobu again and then pushed himself up slowly and looked at Aamori. "...You need to be more careful..." he said with a soft sigh. He reached up to try to fix her hair a little while she was talking though he soon gave up and looked down at the clothes. "...Yeah, sure." he said simply. He sighed and held his arm out, waiting for her to drape the clothes over his arm. Once he had them he started back down the hall toward the baths, pausing once to look back to her. "...You should get some more rest yourself, Aamori." he said softly before he continued on tot he baths.

Kyran watched as Nanashi took the bandanna while trying not to look at him. He wasn't exactly sure why he was avoiding looking at him, he assumed it may have just been embarrassment. He stared a bit at Nanashi when he heard him ask what happened, after it sounded like he was going to ask why he was naked. Well this was slowly turning out to be more than just a little awkward. How were you supposed to go about telling someone that they had died? This had to be just about as hard as telling someone that a loved one bad died, the only difference being that the person who died was the person he had to tell. He gave a sigh and started to move a little back over to the edge of the bath to pick up the shampoo. He then moved back over towards Nanashi, staying behind him since he'd been trying not to look at him. "I assume you remember most of what happened up until just before you finished changing back to normal." He said as he opened the shampoo bottle and started putting some on top of Nanashi's head. Even though he was awake right now he was still going to finish up, or at least try to. He didn't think Nanashi would do it, not since he'd been keeping one hand over that third eye of his and it was just a little difficult to wash your own hair when you were only using one hand. He moved briefly, only long enough to set the bottle down and then return to where he'd been. "I guess I would be surprised if you had remembered anything else that happened." He uttered as he hesitated a little to reach up and start working the shampoo into his hair. "Your heart, it kind of... well... it stopped." He answered quietly. "And I was, in a round about way, asked to make sure you got cleaned up before put into a bed to rest." He added hoping to answer the other question he thought Nanashi was going to ask, all the while trying to clean his hair.

Aamori stared at Celestine briefly while he had been trying to fix her hair. Of course now she was sure her hair was messed up, though she wasn't quite sure what possessed Celestine to try and fix it. She didn't really mind. After she draped the clothes over his arm and he started down the hall, she lifted her hands up a little and felt her hair, taking note that some areas were no longer under her horns. She gave a sigh and dropped her arms back down to her sides. Sometimes it could be such a pain to get her hair back under her horns when it was so long. One of these days she was going to just cut it all off. She looked over at Celestine when she heard him say that she should get some more rest and gave a slight nod. She was still pretty tired, she just happened to be running on a second wind and wasn't exactly sleepy this minute. Though, she wouldn't be surprised to have her head hit that pillow and her be out like a light. She gave a small sigh and glanced down at Nobu. Since he had finished eating she thought she may as well clean up. After all, a knife on the ground like that was an accident waiting to happen and if she didn't get hurt by it first someone else was bound to. She knelt down and picked up the bowl along with the knife. While she stood back up she remembered that she had left her glass in the courtyard as well. She gave a sigh and then started out there to pick that up as well before she headed towards the kitchen. Again, she paused for a moment when she came across the food on the floor once more. She stepped over, kneeling down to pick up the other bowl and set it on top of the one she was already carrying. Then she reached over and picked up the plate, setting it down on top of the bowls before lifting everything up and going into the kitchen to set everything down on the counter. She then returned to the hall and started picking up the glasses of water that were left out here too and then set them in the kitchen as well before exiting the kitchen. There was only one other thing that she wanted to take care of but she wasn't quite sure how to go about cleaning it up. She returned to the courtyard and stood just off to the side of where Nanashi had been on the ground and stared down at the blood stained grass. She really wanted to get rid of all of that before Hisako or anyone else spotted it.

Nanashi nodded slightly at his comment about him remembering what had happened up until just before he'd changed back. He remembered laying on the ground writhing in agony with his and everyone else's thoughts running through his head, then he hit the ground and...nothing. He didn't even remember waking up for that brief moment, his first memory after then was waking up to Kyran in here. He ducked his head a little when he felt the cold liquid on the top of his head and then closed one eye as he looked up with the other, trying to figure out what was on him. "...After what happened?" he asked quietly, flinching again slightly when Kyran started to lather up his hair. He tried to duck away a little, finding this extremely uncomfortable, though after Kyran's next sentence, he froze completely again, his eyes widening slightly. "....I....I....died?..." he asked quietly, forgetting about Kyran for a moment. He went deathly silent for a few moments and then his hand fell from his head and he looked up to Kyran again slowly. "...How? How a I still alive then? And....why?" he asked quietly. He didn't quite understand how you got a heart to beat again once it had decided that it'd had enough. He'd half forgotten about his eye until he saw the dragon so close to him. He flinched again and then relaxed with a sigh, reminding himself that it was only Kyran and trying to focus on what his other two eyes were seeing more than the third. It was hard to read his face for once. He looked confused and a little frightened, but there was also something sad there as well. He wasn't so sure that he'd wanted to be brought back, though had he known how hard LaRae was crying he would have quickly changed his tune on that. "Why did the moon do that to me? What happened to me!? Why did I turn into that....that....that thing!?" He didn't even know what to call himself at that point. Maybe that was why the nurse and Nero had thought that of him. He felt his eye watering a bit, already aware that Kyran didn't have the answers he was looking for. Hikari knew...but he couldn't ask her right now. "...Why...does all of this keep happening to me?" he asked quietly as he lowered his head. He knew Kyran didn't want to see him cry, so he looked down as the tears flowed from his eyes again. He was still rattled at the moment; he didn't know what to think about what had happened, or about what he'd just found out, or about what Kyran, LaRae, and all of the others were going to think of him after this.

Once Celestine reached the bathroom door he reached around with his tail and fumbled to open the door since he didn't really want to touch it with his hand. He sighed and slipped inside, not really keep on seeing either of these two naked. As far as he was concerned that was more of anyone of the same gender than he ever wanted to see. He blinked when he saw the size of this place and then sighed and walked over to the bath where he saw Kyran with Nanashi, whom he was surprised to see was awake. "Erm..." he stared at him for a moment, quickly realizing that he was crying. "...Um...I'm...I'll put these back there." he said quietly as he backed up and then walked over to the screen, laying the folded clothes on the edge of the table with the towels. He sighed softly and then shifted positions uncomfortably. He wanted to just dash out of here as fast as he could, but he couldn't bring himself to get out just yet. He slowly walked back over to the edge of the tub and sat down on his knees a foot or so from the edge of the bath. "...." he stared at Nanashi, who seemed to be avoiding looking at him at all costs since he had turned his head in the opposite direction when he came in. He could only tell that he was crying by the sound of his shaky inhales and the way that he was sitting hugging himself. He tilted his head slgihtly, his ears falling back a little before he looked back to Kyran and raised his eyebrows as if to ask what had happened.

Kyran paused briefly and lifted his hands a little when Nanashi tried to duck away from him a little. He wasn't any more comfortable with doing this than Nanashi was with sitting through it, but it did have to be done. After a moment he went back to working the blood out of his hair as best he could. He paused again when Nanashi asked his question then gave a sigh and went back to cleaning his hair. By the time the next question came he pulled his hands away all together; His hair was good enough he guessed and these questions did make it a little harder to focus on anything. He dropped his hands into the water to wash the shampoo from them and then moved away from Nanashi a little so that he could sit back. "I think you died while Hikari was healing the last of your wounds, after those horns and spikes retracted. LaRae would probably know the specific time frame better than Hikari or myself." He uttered quietly, answering his first question. "As for how, I'm not really sure I could say to be honest. Your heart just stopped..." He paused. "You're still alive because Hikari and I... well, we did our best to bring you back. After Hikari pulled you away from LaRae and got her to stop crying on you, she tried CPR to start your heart again... when that ...didn't work, I tried shocking your heart ...then it started beating." He answered. "And... we brought you back... because none of us wanted you to die. We couldn't just ...sit idly by ...and let you die." He said quietly. He of course couldn't answer the next set of questions. He really couldn't explain why the moons turned him into that thing and so far the only person who seemed to know anything about it was Hikari, which somehow didn't surprise him. He sat there without a word until Nanashi asked his last question, again, he really couldn't say. How was he supposed to even answer a question like that. He'd much rather just keep his mouth shut than to say 'I don't know'. He gave a small sigh and then lifted his eyes slightly when he heard someone else come into the room. When Celestine came closer the first time he noticed the clothes he had brought in with him. He assumed those might have been for Nanashi since he didn't need to sleep in his bloody clothes. He continued to sit there quietly, at least until Celestine had come back over and looked at him the way he had. "...He just heard about what happened to him..." He said quietly. He glanced back over to Nanashi for a moment, guessing that he wasn't looking at Celestine because he didn't want him to see that third eye of his. That thing certainly was a little strange, so he guessed he could understand why Nanashi hid it like he did. Plus the thing didn't really blink, at least not that he had seen and that would probably creep a lot of people out which of course it made sense now why Nanashi never took that bandanna off.

Aamori continued to stand there staring down at the grass. She had to get rid of the portion covered in blood at least and not have it be obvious that something had happened right here. She really didn't want to have to explain anything to Hisako or even to her brother. She gave a heavy sigh as she stared down at it a bit longer. She couldn't think of anything that she could do to fix this and with her lack of magical energy built back up she really couldn't do anything herself. She was just about to give up and just deal with having to explain everything to Hisako but she finally remembered that LaRae was here. She felt silly for forgetting and LaRae would have an easier time with something like this, considering it was kind of her element. She shook her head lightly and walked back over to her door and knocked on it, waiting for her to answer.

LaRae had already finished getting the bed ready like Kyran had asked her to and she was just sitting on the couch in the room. When she heard the knock at the door she wasted very little time getting over to the door, she even made it a rush job just because she thought it may have been Kyran coming back with Nanashi already. When she opened the door she stared at Aamori with an 'oh it's just you...' look on her face. She gave a small sigh and took a couple steps out of the room, leaving the door open. Once she was in the hall she looked around a little before focusing back on Aamori. "...Did you need something?" She asked quietly. It was obvious that she needed something, why else would she have come and knocked on the door.

Aamori was a little surprised at how fast LaRae had answered the door, though, given the look on her face she could tell that she was expecting someone else to be on this side of the door. She shook her head lightly and looked at LaRae before turning slightly after she'd stepped out of the room. "Yes..." She paused. "I don't have the energy to do away with something, and I thought you could help." She said as she reached out and grabbed LaRae's wrist, tugging her over to the courtyard to show her what she needed help with. She paused just near the blood stained grass and sighed heavily. LaRae probably wasn't going to like helping with this but she didn't exactly have anyone else she could ask right now. "...I need this stained grass gone..." She said as she pointed down to it. "Hisako will ask way too many questions in the morning when she sees it and I don't want to explain it to her... or deal with any repercussions that could come from something like that happening in here." She explained. Honestly, she had no idea at all how Hisako would take to seeing that or how she'd take the explanation. She also wouldn't be surprised to end up in trouble for that happening here of all places, and with her right in the area. Anyone in her clan finding out about what happened to Nanashi probably wouldn't go well, period. Especially since he, a fire clan dragon was here and not kicked out because of her. She was actually panicking a little now that she was thinking about it a little more. She was just managing to get out of trouble again, or at least she thought she had with her being close to mastering this ability. The last thing she needed was to end up in some form of trouble yet again.

Nanashi kept his head down and his eyes closed while he tried to get a hold of himself. He still couldn't stop himself from shaking and frankly...he kind of wished Celestine would just leave, though he couldn't bring himself to tell him that. After hearing Kyran's answers to his stream of questions, he didn't really know what to say. He felt bad for making LaRae cry...and he was surprised at the same time. For some reason even as nice as everyone had been to him since he'd joined the group, he still hadn't been entirely convinced that they would care too much what happened to him, so knowing that they had actually brought him back to life when they could have just left him gave him that warm fuzzy feeling to an extent. Finally he calmed down again though it seemed apparent that Celestine had no intention of leaving yet he finally covered his forehead with his hand and then held his breath and ducked under the water, shaking his head around a little to get all of the suds out of his hair.

Celestine nodded slightly to Kyran and then sighed softly as he turned his eyes back to Nanashi. He looked at him for a few moments and then laid his ears back again and sighed. Just as he opened his mouth to say something Nanashi dunked his head under the water. He huffed and then shook his head. "...I probably need to take one of those myself eventually." he muttered, running his fingers through his hair. He looked back to Kyran again, "Well other than being shaken up, is he alright?" he asked simply since Nanashi was taking his sweet time under the water.

After a few more seconds of running his free hand through his hair he finally reached up and grabbed onto the bench again while he straightened up again, taking in a deep breath once his head broke the surface. His hair plastered itself against his head and over his head as streams of water fell over it, some of which managed to weasel it's way into his eyes. He sucked in his breath as the slightly soapy water stung his eyes and pushed his hair back before using both hands to wipe his stinging eyes, absently leaving his forehead unattended for a moment.

Celestine's eyes went back back to Nanashi when he resurfaced and then widened when they landed on what looked like an eye in the center of his forehead. He gasped and leaned away quickly, obviously taken by surprise at the sight of it, though after Nanashi looked at him his ears perked up almost curiously and he tilted his head slightly, though when he opened his mouth words seemed to have escaped him. "Umm...." He blinked and then raised a brow since Nanashi looked almost...well frightened.

Nanashi looked over to Celestine quickly when he heard him gasp, knowing instantly what he'd forgotten to do. His own eyes widened him he looked at Celestine, because over the figure on the floor that was staring at him curiously he also saw a large--though admittedly not as large as most--dragon. He just froze, eyes wide as he stared at Celestine, of course picking up on the usual thoughts... 'what the hell is that thing?' 'Why is it staring at me like that?" so on and so forth. His breathing had increased in pace but for some reason he couldn't look away. Celestine's dragon form was as beautiful as it was frightening. What he saw more clearly than he actually even saw Celestine's assumed form that anyone else would see was a slender jade green dragon curled around itself like a snake with large feathery wings positioned a little ways below it's massive head with was roughly the size of his entire upper body. His horn was still positioned in it's usual place, pointing toward the ceiling, and his eyes were just the same...though the long fangs when he opened his mouth were what spooked him. There was a thin stream of fur running from the nap of his beck down the center of his spine to his tail where it fanned out at the tip. It truly was something to look at, which was why he couldn't turn his eyes away. Unlike most dragons, Celestine had no claws...mainly because he didn't even seem to have any limbs, just like a snake.

Celestine finally shook his head and settled down again, though he was still staring at the eye on Nanashi's head. "...Why...are you looking at me like that?" he asked uncomfortably. He glanced over his shoulder s if to make sure that there wasn't something scary behind him since Nanashi looked like he was ready to jump up and run in the other direction.

Kyran finally thought he had the chance to clean himself up a bit and moved over to grab the other wash cloth he had brought over along with the soap. He soaped up the wash cloth and then went to sit back where he was and started washing himself. He watched as Nanashi dunked his head under the water and then looked up briefly when he heard the question that Celestine had asked. "I think so." He answered. He wasn't entirely too sure, he just kind of assumed he was okay since he was awake right now and all. He finished cleaning himself and wrung out the cloth before tossing it back over to the edge of the bath. He looked back over at Nanashi and Celestine and shook his head lightly. He could tell that Celestine must have seen Nanashi's third eye. He continued to sit there quietly until Celestine asked Nanashi why he was looking at him the way he was. He heaved a sigh. "Just be glad all he's doing is looking at you the way he is..." He paused. "I doubt even my ears could handle another echoing scream..." He couldn't really explain it but Nanashi did act a little different when that eye was open like it was. Or at least before he found out about the eye he didn't think Nanashi would wake up and scream just at the sight of him, even given the awkward situation they were in.

LaRae glanced down at the grass once Aamori had told her what she had needed her help with. She turned her eyes away after a moment and looked back at Aamori. She probably looked bothered by her request and she kind of was. Honestly, she didn't want to be cleaning up blood stained grass that was left behind as a result of what had happened to Nanashi and definitely not this soon. She stood there for a moment before sighing softly. "I can't talk my way out of helping with this, can I?" She asked quietly.

Aamori absently shook her head in response to LaRae's question before she even opened her mouth to say anything. "...If there was someone else I could ask, who could do it and make it unnoticeable that anything happened right here then I wouldn't have bothered you." She responded. "And I would've given more time before I asked, but this needs to be cleaned up before Hisako gets up and can see it." She added lastly.

LaRae hadn't really needed an answer, she was pretty sure she couldn't talk her out of it. She shook her head lightly once Aamori was done and then knelt down, setting her hands against the grass. She was at least glad that making something grow wasn't really that hard or energy consuming. Well, unless you did it in a large volume like she had in Caledonia. As soon as her hand started emitting the green aura she pierced her fingers into the dirt and shut her eyes. After a few moments the entire area, including about half a foot out from where Nanashi had been laying was empty of grass. She had made the grass sink back into the ground where it would eventually just decompose and no one would even know it had been there. Of course she couldn't just leave it like this, the courtyard would look pretty strange with all but one patch of grass missing. The aura from her hands flashed slightly for just a moment before she focused again and forced new, fresh grass to sprout up in place of the old. She was extra careful to make sure that new grass was roughly the same length so that it all looked the same and blended in. Once she was finished the aura from her hands faded and she slipped her fingers out from the dirt and wiped them off on her pants. "There..." She said as she stood back up and looked at Aamori. "Is there anything else...?" She asked, almost reluctantly.

Aamori watched as LaRae started to fix the grass. She was relieved that it seemed to be a really easy thing for her to do. Once LaRae had finished she smiled and then shook her head. "No, no... that was it." She answered. "Thank you... and I'm sorry for bothering you with this." She uttered quietly before kneeling down to put her hand on the new grass, then moved it to the original and back again. Well, at least it looked the same. The whole area that LaRae had grown felt a little softer than the original grass. She didn't think anyone would really notice that though, unless they were really paying attention. She sootd back up and wiped her hands together a little before looking back to LaRae. "You can go back to your room now, if you want to."

Celestine glanced over to Kyran when he mentioned Nanashi screaming. He then glanced back to Nanashi since he hadn't moved. "...What's wrong with you?" he asked finally since he hadn't moved and still looked half on the verge of panic. He shifted a little and moved forward, then froze and blinked when Nanashi disappeared for a second.

Nanashi gasped when Celestine moved forward suddenly and flinched as he jerked away, though that only caused him to lose his already poor balance and fall over into the water again. He bolted back up after a second and shook his head violently, slinging water in all directions before he looked back to Celestine, looking even more unnerved. It was hard to remember who they were when there were massive teeth attracting your attention. "...Y-you..." he stammered, "...Y-you're...a.dragon..." he said quietly.

Celestine blinked and then tilted his head. "...I think that was established a long time ago..." He said with that 'well DUH' look on his face, "What's with you? You act like you've never even seen me before."

Nanashi shook his head quickly, "...I haven't...like that..." he said quietly. He realized that Celestine was starting to think that he had lost it so he tried to explain, "...I...s-see...different....I c-can't see the way you do w-when it's open... Y-you...look...like a dragon..." he said quietly.

Celestine blinked and then leaned forward again, "You mean that thing shows you what we really look like?" he asked, though he blinked at Nanashi's response to his movement and actually laughed, "And you're scared of me?"

Nanashi flinched violently when Celestine moved forward again, "Please stop doing that!" He tried to relax a little and then looked at him again, "...It's hard not to be afraid of something ten times my size with teeth half the length of my arm!"

Celestine just stared at him again and then grinned and just started laughing again. "Hahaha you're seriously afraid of me? Hahaha!!" He was actually glad Nanashi found something threatening about him. Usually the best comment he got was 'oooh pretty' or something like that.

Kyran was just barely keeping an ear on what was being said between Nanashi and Celestine, mostly because he had grabbed the shampoo and was trying to get his own hair cleaned so that he could get out of this bath before he pruned too badly. He did however pay attention when Nanashi wound up back in the water again and then when Celestine made sense of what Nanashi had said. Well... knowing that helped make sense of why Nanashi had freaked out on him like he had and why he was acting the way he was with Celestine. He took a deep breath and dunked his head under the water and started rinsing out his hair. A few moments later he lifted his head from the water and started brushing his hair from his eyes. He shook his head lightly seeing Celestine laughing the way he doubted that Nanashi found any humor in this. He moved over to the edge of the bath, by the stairs and grabbed one of the towels that he had brought over with him then moved back over towards Nanashi. Again, making sure that he tried to stay in his blind spots as to not scare him. Especially now that he knew what was freaking him out so bad. He unfolded the towel a little and dropped it over his head in hopes that he might calm down enough to at least try and cover his eye up. He then looked over at Celestine, with a less then amused look on his face. "I know you're having a good laugh from this, Celestine, and I hate to ruin it for you, but he did just have his heart give out on him earlier and I'd like to refrain from giving him enough of a scare to have it happen again especially since he nor his heart have recovered their strength." He paused with a sigh. "Once he's back to full health feel free to continue with what ever it is you find so funny. Until then, maybe you could do us all a favor and locate something that Nanashi can tie over his eye like his bandanna?" He shook his head lightly. "The bandanna is shot and he can't very well walk around holding his hand over his eye until we can get him another bandanna." He wasn't trying to spoil Celestine's fun, but considering how weak Nanashi was right now he really didn't want to chance anything that might cause his heart to give out again. The possibility of that actually happen was probably slim, but he still didn't want to give it to chance.

LaRae gave a slight nod to Aamori when she said that she could go back into her room if she wanted to. She was ready to go back. "You going to back to bed now?" She asked, though she guessed she probably would. "Well, I'll see you in the morning." She added before turning and heading back towards her room. She sighed softly as she passed through the doorway, continuing to leave the door open, for now at least. She then continued over to the couch and plopped herself down. She knew that Nanashi was pretty filthy and it was probably going to take some time to get him cleaned up but she was still worried about him, even now.

Aamori nodded when LaRae asked if she was going to bed. "Yes, I need to get some more sleep." She said and then waited until LaRae had gone to her room before she started across the courtyard to her room. She stepped inside and pushed the door behind her in the process of going inside, though not hard enough for it to shut behind her. Once she saw the bed she realized just how tired she was. By the time she made it to the bed she practically fell over on it, curled up a little and was already starting to fall asleep again. She had wanted to take a look in the mirror to see just how messy her hair was but she never really made it over to the vanity. She also hadn't been paying very much attention to her arm or her foot. The bruising was a little more noticeable now and her foot had even started to swell a little from standing on it and walking on it like there wasn't anything wrong. She was more than likely going to feel that in the morning.

Celestine looked at Kyran and his laughter slowly died away. He just sighed and pushed himself up. "Where am I supposed to find anything?" he asked flatly, though when he looked back to Nanashi he did have an apologetic look on his face. "I wasn't laughing at you...Just so you know. I just thought of something funny." he said softly. At least he didn't call me pretty...

Nanashi just stared at Celestine while he laughed, though seeing that he found this funny almost calmed him down a little. When Kyran dropped the towel on his head he blinked and then reached up to slide it off of one eye so that it was still hanging over the other and the center of his forehead. He sighed softly when he heard Kyran getting onto Celestine for laughing. "It's....it's alright..." he said quietly to Celestine, "I know." He then looked over to Kyran again. "...He's...only laughing because this is the first time anyone has ever thought that he looked dangerous..." he said and then looked back to Celestine again, "...I do still think you're pretty like that." he said with a half smile, "...But scary at the same time."

Celestine blinked and looked back to Nanashi again, staring at him with that wide eyed expression. "...How did you know that?" he asked, sounding surprised yet again and also unnerved. He narrowed his eyes slightly and then turned his head to the side, staring at Nanashi curiously again. Can you read my mind?

Nanashi looked at him for a moment and then nodded weakly. "...Sometimes..." he muttered quietly.

Celestine just sighed and then shook his head. He wasn't too fond of people being able to probe at his mind. "...I think I like you better with that thing closed..." he muttered as he reached down to his waist and started to untie his sash. It wasn't all that long seeming as he was so thing, so it would work for a bandanna for a little while. Nanashi was going to look pretty funny with a gold band around his head, not to mention the way that it was going to hang in the back, but at least it would work. "Here, try not to mess it up, okay?" He said simply as he held it out to him. His outfit wasn't really lacking anything with out it, but he did kind of just like to wear a sash with his clothes.

Nanashi reached out slowly to take the sash and then let the towel slide down around his shoulders while he folded it up and then tied it tightly around his head, again unable to avoid catching some of his hair in it. "...Me, too." he said simply, "...I don't want to know what everyone is thinking." He finally started to stand, though he was still shaky. He had to press down on the bench to pull himself up, and even that soon caused him to start breathing more heavily. He finally glanced to Celestine again, who seemed to be caught off guard by the number of scars just on his torso. "...Would you mind?" he asked quietly, without really looking at him.

Celestine blinked when he realized that he was staring and then looked away quickly before he stood up and turned away completely, getting the idea that Nanashi, much like himself, preferred to bathe alone, so this was probably really awkward. "Sorry... I think I'm going to bed, unless you need anything else." he said simply, glancing over to Kyran again. He'd been trying to ignore the fact that both of them were naked, but now that they were startign to get out, he was deciding this was way more of either of them than he wanted to see.

Kyran didn't particularly care where Celestine went to find something for Nanashi to use in place of his bandanna. He hadn't bothered to really think of what to use either, he just knew when he asked he didn't want to get out of the bath, get dressed, go find something and then come back only to find that he'd have to get back into the water if Nanashi needed help getting out. At first thought, it was a lot easier and faster to just ask someone who was already clothed to do it and Celestine just happened to be the only one in the room. He looked at Nanashi briefly when he said that Celestine was only laughing because this was the first time anyone had ever thought he was dangerous. He quirked a brow slightly a bit curious as to how Nanashi knew that when Celestine hadn't said a word. Obviously Celestine was wondering the same thing because he asked how Nanashi knew that. He only stayed where he was for a few moments longer before he finally decided it was time to get out. He was already starting to prune on his hands and more than likely the bottom of his feet as well. He'd spent more than enough time in the water. He was still listening in, a little to what else was being said but he had started to make his way back over to the stairs. When he reached the stairs he paused and started to stand up while in the process reaching for the towel to wrap around his waist as he climbed up the stairs to step on the spongey mat that lead back to the screen. He was at least careful when he stood up so if either of them saw anything it was more than likely only his back with the small scar and part of his rear while he put the towel around himself. He lifted his hand up and started running it through his hair as he followed the spongey mat that was oddly enough drying his feet for him. He stepped back behind the screen and moved over to his clothes to start putting them back on. He put his clothes back on rather quickly, not bothering to tuck in his shirt this time. He didn't bother with his boots right now either and stepped out from the screen, just behind the shelf with the towels and then took his towel and started to try and towel dry his hair a little. He was more than likely going to bed here soon himself and he didn't want to have too wet of a head.

Nanashi glanced over to Kyran for a moment as he started to get out. Well, apparently that meant he got to get out on his own now that he was awake...which really suited him just fine, he just wasn't so sure that he'd be able to make it. He slowly started to shimmy his way down to the stairs while using the edge of the bench to move himself forward. Once he reached the edge of the bench he latched onto the side of the tub and moved the rest of the way to the stairs. By then he was almost gasping as he struggled to hold onto the edge of the tub. Moving around was a lot harder right now than it looked. The amount of blood loss that he had made his limbs feel heavy, not to mention he was extremely light headed when he stood up. After a moment he managed the first step, though he was quickly running out of things to hold onto. He glanced to Celestine, trying to make sure that his eyes were at least averted, and then pulled the towel down to wrap around himself as quickly as he tried to step onto the next step. Unfortunately, he had the luck of being hit by another wave of dizziness while his foot was still in the air and he started to fall back, gasping as he went.

Celestine was a little annoyed when Kyran got out before he could scurry away, but he just tried to ignore it again. He still remained standing there since Nanashi had stood up and Kyran had kind of just wandered off. He could tell how shaky Nanashi was right now so just in case he did happen to fall he thought it would be better if someone was close by. He turn his eyes away when Nanashi started to get out, just to give him at least a little privacy while he covered up, though his head quickly snapped back in that direction when he heard the way Nanashi gasped and he quickly sprung into action, jumping to the edge of the steps and snatching Nanashi's flailing hand with both of his. "Watch out!" He pulled back for all he was worth, but unfortunately, Nanashi outweighed him by at least thirty pounds, and he was standing on a wet surface. As soon as Nanashi's foot finally slipped on the step and went flying out from under him his eyes widened because he knew he was going down. "Kyran!!" he yelped as if he thought he was going to save him from back there. As Nanashi fell back, he never released his hand so he consequentially jerked Celestine off of his feet and sent him flying into the water. They both hit the water with a loud splash and Celestine flailed about for a moment before he found the surface. When he came back above the water all of his long jade hair was handing in his face and his feathers were all glued together. He gasped and then couched as he tried to flip the dripping curtain out of his face so he could make sure Nanashi was alright. He had managed to avoid landing on him at least, thought hat didn't meant that he hadn't hurt himself. He saw Nanashi sit up a few moments later, couching harshly as it appeared he'd swallowed some water as well. He looked down at himself and groaned. He looked like a drowned rat. All of his clothes were sticking to him, even his moccasins. after a moment he started to shake out his hands. Just as he'd assumed, the warm water really didn't make his already throbbing palms feel any better, nor had latching onto Nanashi the way that he had.

Kyran unfortunately had focused on getting out of the water and getting himself dry, so he hadn't thought to see if Nanashi was going to need help out or not. He should've know better though and he should've known that Celestine just wasn't enough leverage to keep Nanashi from falling back into the bath. He was still drying his hair when he heard Celestine yelp out his name but he dropped the towel rather quickly to see them both taking a dive for the water. He didn't waste any time throwing his hand down onto the island-like shelf and vaulting himself over it. As soon as his first foot hit the ground he was already rushing over to try and help. He was fast, the fastest in the group but he was tired too and when he threw his hand out to try and grab the back of Celestine's shirt his hand was a mere couple inches from snagging hold of the fabric. Had he not been trying to keep himself dry, he probably would've gone down onto the steps a little which might have closed the gap between his fingers and Celestine's shirt. Or, if he'd given himself time to think about it he probably could've just wrapped his tail around Celestine's waist and hauled them both back before they hit the water. When he saw that he wasn't going to be able to reach and they'd fall anyway he did have the forethought to move back a couple feet as to avoid getting splashed from them falling into the water. He gave a heavy sigh and stood there for a moment longer before turning around and walking back over to the screen. He stepped behind it for a moment and grabbed one of the robes before moving back down to the shelf and getting another towel. He knew that Nanashi's had made it into the water along with him so that was going to be useless to dry himself with, let alone it probably wouldn't even stay wrapped around him on it's own. Then, Celestine was now soaked as well and probably not going to be very happy about it. He knew how heavy his wings got when they were soaked like they were, after all he'd carried him up to his cave that one time when it was pouring down rain. He hurried back over to the edge of the bath, though obviously not in as big a hurry as last time because he actually walked around the shelf rather than vault over it. He stopped by the steps again and looked down at them both. "I'm sorry... I couldn't reach you in time." He uttered quietly. He really didn't mean for this to happen. Though, had he not been wanting to be dry this could have been avoided. He sighed softly and uncurled his tail from behind him. He was sure at least one of the two of them was going to need help out and he'd be able to get closer to help with his tail, rather than his arms. He held out the soft robe, it was even a little fluffy and looked quite warm. "I brought a robe... Celestine, since... well... your soaked now." He said quietly before glancing over at Nanashi. "And a new towel for you."

Nanashi continued to sit at the edge of the steps with his ears pinned back completely in embarrassment. "...I...I'm sorry..." he muttered quietly. He knew that he probably should have just waited rather than try to drag himself out, but he also knew how Kyran felt about this whole situation, so he was trying to give the poor guy a break and do it himself. That however, backfired terribly; all he'd done was drench Celestine and cause him to have to make another run.

Celestine glared up at Kyran, his expression full of ire. He huffed and then glanced over to Nanashi. "...It's not your fault..." he muttered, though he still sounded distinctly irritated. He raised his feet one at a time and slipped off his moccasins before tossing them up onto the side of the tub and then unbuttoned his vest carefully, though he still winced slightly when he had to press on the buttons. He struggled out of the vest and tossed it over his moccasins before he struggled again to fight his way out of the thin, clinging white shirt. He huffed again, not very fond of taking his clothes off in front of anyone, but he didn't particularly want to drip all the way over to the screen. Once his shirt was off the only thing visible on his chest was the multicolored pendant that he'd been wearing beneath his shirt. Without all of those layers it was easy to see just how thin he was. His arms were tiny, as was his waist line, and one could almost count his ribs if they tried hard enough. He was a very gaunt little thing. Finally he started to wade over to the steps. He wasn't going to strip completely in front of them, so the pants stayed. He still looked irritated at Kyran. "You could have taken him with you..." he muttered under his breath as he reached the top of the steps. He didn't know why he hadn't really. Kyran was already wet before, and he had no intention at all of getting in the bath, so he didn't know why Kyran had pretty much left Nanashi to him when he decided to get out. He dropped to all fours suddenly, more out of habit than anything, and then shook himself out from head to tail, trying to shake the water off of his body and out of his hair and wings. He flicked his hair, slinging water off of the end of it as well before he stood up. That probably took care of Kyran being nice and dry, though that hadn't been his real intention it wouldn't upset him at all if he'd splashed Kyran in his wake. He had sent quite a rain of water out of his feathery wings; shaking them when they were like that was almost like slinging around a wet sponge. By the time he'd finished his feathers were all fluffed up to the point that he really almost resembled an angry bird. "Thanks..." he muttered as he snagged the robe which wasn't entirely dry anymore. It wouldn't have been after it came into contact with his mess of hair and wings anyway so that didn't really bother him. "Do something with him, he's too heavy." He said shortly and he walked a little unsteadily toward the screen, still leaving quite a trail of water behind him. Obviously the weight on his wings was affecting his balance a bit.

Nanashi closed one eye as the rain of water suddenly came down on his head and he sighed quietly. Finally he shifted positions slowly and reached up to the edge of the tub again, using one hand to try to pull himself up while the other still held the drenched towel tightly in front of him. He quickly realized that his one arm wasn't going to be strong enough to hold him up because his legs had already almost had it. He laid the towel on the side of the tub as he tried to push up a little more with his other arm. He managed to get back onto the first step again but after that he finally sank back down again, breathing heavily. He'd already worn himself out getting over this far from where he at the bench. He tried once more to push himself up again, but he didn't get anywhere this time. He sighed, keeping his eyes down for a moment before reluctantly looking back up to Kyran. It was obvious by the look on his face that he didn't want to ask, but he was going to be stuck there all night at this rate. "...Help...please..." he said quietly before averting his eyes again and dropping his ears down again.
