Celestine nodded slightly when she told him to see what could be done abut his cheek. He supposed if Hikari had any energy built up she could do something with it, if not...well he could always just hide from anyone that would ask. His eyes widened slightly when she said that Nanashi could be asked to leave the building. "Leave and go where?" he blurted his thought out loud. He shook his head as if to say never mind and then sighed softly. Right now if Nanashi went someone was going to have to go with him. He was pretty sure Nanashi wasn't going to get very far on his own...not to mention if anyone came across him that really had something bad against his clan he couldn't really do much to defend himself or get away from them. He shook his head slgihtly, "...Never mind. I'll do whatever I can to cover it up..." he said quietly, "If it comes down to him being forced to leave I guess I'll just go with him...if LaRae doesn't beat me to it." He glanced toward the arches in front of Hikari and Kyran's room, "I guess I'll go see if Hikari's awake." he said simply, though he remained there just in case Hisako had anything to add.

Hikari sighed softly, "At Marius' house while Celestine was sleeping. He had just taken a shower after...well after he'd buried Sonia... His clothes were dirty so he washed them as well and left them while they were drying. Everyone else was already asleep but me and he wanted to know how Celestine was doing so...he...came in to ask." She said with a sighed, her face nearly blood red by now, "and I think he got a kick out of it."

Hisako sighed when asked where Nanashi would go. Honestly she had no idea and it really wasn't any of her concern. Her job wasn't to keep an eye on people who go kicked out of the building. Though she was pretty sure that if he did get thrown out, Aamori would ask her to keep an eye on him. She shook her head lightly. "If everything goes the way that I'd like it to, nothing's going to happen. Just make sure that you and Hikari are taken care of and should anything else come up, I'll see what I can do... so long as it doesn't interfere with my job." She said before she turned a little and started to walk back over to the weapon rack.

Kyran wasn't too bothered by it after hearing when and why Nero had been around her in nothing more than his underwear. How could you be bothered by it when the guy was only like that because his clothes were dirty after burying someone. He still thought Nero should've covered up more but there wasn't anything that could be done about it now. He started to glance back over to her hearing that she thought Nero got a kick out of it. He noticed the color of her face and couldn't help but laugh softly. "I think I'd probably get a kick out of it too if you were that color when that happened."

Celestine nodded slightly to Hisako and then sighed quietly. "...Thank you." he said quietly before he turned and started across the courtyard to one of the arcs close to the door to Hikari and Kyran's room. He hesitated for a moment, not really wanting to wake them if they were still sleeping, but he guessed this should be taken care of sooner rather than later. Finally he stepped up to the door and knocked lightly with the back of his knuckles and then waited to see if any one was up.

Hikari looked back to Kyran again and then closed her eyes tightly, her face turning another shade of pink. "Oh...shut up!" she squeaked. She was about ready to lay back again when she heard a very faint tap at the door. She looked at it for a moment and then slowly pushed herself up the rest of the way and then swung her legs over the side of the bed, trying to get up before Kyran did since she was still clothed. "I'll get it..." She stood slowly and walked over to the door, though once she got there she just stared at it before she tried Nero's trick and brought her tail around to the front of her, trying to open it that way. She wasn't all that coordinated with her tail, she rarely used it for anything like this so she fumbled for a few moments before she finally got the door open enough to look outside. She blinked a little surprised to see who it was, though she made a face when she saw his face. "Celestine? Are you alright?" she asked as she backed up to let him in.

Celestine stood there a little impatiently while he waited, though after a few moments he noticed the door knob wiggling and assumed someone was trying to open. He reached out and turned it until it unlatched, hardly surprised to see that it was Hikari trying to open it. Had it been Kyran he assumed that it wouldn't have taken so long. He shook his head slightly when her first question was if he was alright. "Fine." he responded shortly before stepping into the room, closing the door behind him. He glanced over to Kyran for a moment and sighed before he looked back to Hikari again, "...I need to see your hands." he said simply, "You you need to do something about these." he said, pointing to the cuts. Unlike with Hisako he got straight to the point with the rest of them. "Hisako caught me as soon as I got out of my room and started asking me what happened, and I couldn't lie my way around it; if I hadn't told her she was going to ask Aamori. She said as long as we could take care of the injuries that can't be explained away and no one else saw what happened that she could avoid saying anything to anyone..." he said shortly.

Hikari stared at him when he jumped straight into explanations. "...You told her everything!?" she asked, sounding half worried and half disapproving. "You know how the Water clan and the Fire clan--" she started, but he cut her off.

Celestine glared at her slightly, "What under the seven deities did you want me to say!? Look at me, what in here is going to do this? "What on this island is going to do this!? I don't think 'oh I fell out of bed' is going to cover all of this." he he said irritably as he held up his hands where she could see, "It isn't going to explain what happened to you, either. I told her if she wanted any finer points you could probably tell her more than I could, you looked like you knew what was going on. I explained to her everything I knew the best I could so she would understand what happened and she said that if all goes well she isn't going to say anything." he said simply, "Give me your hands already..."

Hikari sighed heavily and then held out her hands to him, though when her eyes caught on the stitches in her arm she looked over to Kyran with a worried expression. "...Vara saw..." she said quietly.

Kyran couldn't help but laugh again lightly at her response to what he had said. He was about to open his mouth to say something when he noticed that Hikari was getting out of bed. He hadn't heard the knock at the door so he wasn't sure why she was getting up. His first thought was that he had done something to make her want to leave the room, that thought diminished however when he heard her say 'I'll get it'. He sighed softly and glanced towards the door. He hadn't heard the knock at the door so he was a little curious to know who it was. He didn't bother to get up and he wouldn't unless he was checking to see if his clothes were dry. He didn't want to chance making Hikari any more uncomfortable if he just stood up and didn't cover himself. He watched her for a moment as she tried to get the door open, smiling slightly at the difficult time she was having. He sighed softly hearing that it was Celestine at the door. He hoped that Celestine wasn't still upset at him for what happened. He continued to sit there quietly while Hikari and Celestine talked. He glanced away briefly and just listened, nearly choking on his breath when Celestine snapped at Hikari about what was said to Hisako. It was far too early for there to be energy to react like that, or maybe he thought that because he was just too tired. He gave a sigh and looked back over at Hikari just about the time that she looked back at him and told Celestine that Vara had seen last night. Well... that was his fault. But Hikari really did need to have someone look at her arm and he didn't think that Celestine would've been able to heal her arm for her so he had to ask the next best person and that just happened to be Vara. He shook his head lightly. "Vara... she's the skittish nurse that worked on Hikari's arm." He added since he was pretty sure Celestine had no idea who she was just by her name. He sat quiet for a moment before glancing back over at them. "Since she's so skittish... maybe she can be talked into having not seen anything..." He commented quietly.

Celestine sighed heavily, his heads falling back slightly when he heard Hikari say that someone else had seen. "Damn it..." he muttered quietly while Kyran explained to him to Vara was. "...I didn't see her." he said simply as he held his hands out over Hikari's. He looked at Kyran for a moment and then sighed quietly, "Let's hope..." he said quietly before he turned his attention to Hikari's hands again and stared at them, "Be quiet for a minute." he said simply, since it was harder to concentrate on what he was doing if they were talking. He took a deep breath and let it out slowly before he started to chant the same words that he had the night before, only a little faster. Just like the night before, the aura surrounded his hands and his hair started to blow around a bit as the air circulated between his palms and Hikari's. The blisters and redness started to fade from her hands as they had from Kyran's though this seemed to be moving a little more slowly in spite of his chanting faster. Her hands were a bit worse considering all of the wear they'd gotten even after the burns. Even once the redness and blisters had gone away she still had several deep crevices in her hands. He stopped chanting for a second and then words suddenly changed as his eyes lit up a little as well. He was trying to get rid of those cracks as well so he'd stitched back to a standard healing spell to repair the rest of the tissue. He probably could have stood to do that to Kyran last night, but what had been left behind on his hands wasn't quite so bad. Once he'd finished he stopped and the aura faded before he dropped his hands as well, though by then he was standing there a little unsteadily, breathing as if he'd just run a marathon. He wasn't that used to healing, so he tended to pour more energy into it than Hikari might have, though that seemed to make it more effective. Celestine's magical capabilities were quite strong, and thankfully tended to replenish quickly compared to most sure to his breed, so even though it wore him out he at least wouldn't have to be down for long. He started to move back to lean against something, but he found himself a little further away from everything than he thought he was and started to loose his balance.

Hikari watched as he started to heal the wounds, silencing since he'd asked them to. She was relieved to feel the cool air on her aching hands, though she became a little sidetracked from watching them since she couldn't really see much for Celestine's hands. Instead she took to watching his hair blow around a little and then blinked when his eyes started to glow, barely picking up the change in the chant. When he finally stopped she gave him a weak smile, noticing how tired it had made him. She could definitely understand; healing wasn't easy. "Thank you." she said quietly, though she gasped quietly when he started to fall and reached out to grab him quickly, pulling him over to her. She smiled at him and gave him a tight hug before she pulled back. "Be careful...you probably shouldn't get in the habit of standing up when you do things like that..." she said gently. "Come on." she said, nodding toward the bed. She held onto his shoulders and walked him over so that he could sit down and rest for a few minutes.

Celestine blinked when she hugged him, though he didn't say anything. Hikari was just a huggy one. He didn't complain that she held onto him while he went to the bed either, though he really didn't need it once he'd gotten his balance back. He looked up at her for a moment and then sighed heavily, "Don't mention it..." he said dully. He hadn't really expected it to be so draining. After all he was fine after he'd healed Kyran. Maybe it was just because he'd been doing it so much the past couple of days, healing the bites on Aamori's leg, Kyran's hands, and then Hikari's. He didn't really know, maybe he'd just poured out more energy than he'd realized. Either way he wasn't complaining about a rest.

Hikari sat down beside him, looking at his injured cheek. "Hmm... They're kind of deep... I'm still pretty drained, I don't know if I can heal them without leaving scars or something... Wouldn't want to mess up your pretty face." she said quietly with a slight smile.

Celestine gave her a look and then huffed, "I don't care, just do what you can." he said dully. He blinked when he thought of something else. "...What about those containers of...whatever that stuff was?" he asked, "Wouldn't that do something?"

Hikari blinked and then her ears perked up. "Oh yeah... I completely forgot about those..." she said as she got up and walked over to the couch, kneeling down beside it so she could shift through her bag for the one that Taro had used on Kyran when he was injured. That would help out a lot, she could just apply a little energy to speed things along and then that would settle things. "I think I can get your hands with this, too..." she said quietly, glancing over to Kyran for a moment while examining his chest momentarily. His burns had been worse than the ones on Celestine, so she doubted that it would leave any marks.

"Goody..." he said tiredly before he just flattened himself out on the bed with his feet still hanging off of the edge. "...It's to early for all this..." he complained quietly.

Kyran wasn't really all that worried about anything happening from Hisako giving a report about what had happened. If something happened, they'd just work with it and deal with it one step at a time. He continued to sit there and watch what Celestine was doing. He couldn't very well do anything more than he already was, at least not while he wasn't wearing his usual clothes. He was glad that Celestine had remembered to come and work on Hikari's hands, at least this way she might be able to lay back down and get some more sleep since she'd had such a rough night. Once Celestine had finished and he started to lose his balance of course he wanted to get up and help but he shifted a little and stayed where he was. He sighed softly seeing Hikari help him and sit him down on the bed. He definitely felt a little useless right now. His eyes followed Hikari when she came over and knelt down beside the couch to dig around in her bag for the stuff his uncle had given her. He'd even forgotten about that stuff. That didn't really surprise him, the stuff hadn't been used at all since they were at Marius' and had used it on Celestine. He glanced down at himself a little when he noticed Hikari looking at his chest and then sighed again. Those scars that were left really didn't bother him, except when Hikari was bothered by them. He lifted his hand up and rubbed his hand over the scar briefly before dropping his hand back down to his lap. The scar wasn't even smooth, it was rather rough. Well at least she hadn't touched the scars in a good long while, if even at all. He looked back over to the bed, at Celestine when he laid back on the bed. It was pretty early but not as early as it could've been and he was at least thankful that all of this hadn't come up last night when everything happened. "Just think of it this way... we're getting everything out of the way now..."

Celestine sighed heavily and then sat himself up a little, "I guess so..." he said simply. He watched at Hikari came back to him with the container and then eyed it a little unsurely. He hoped this wasn't going to hurt too much, though this wasn't like fixing a broken leg. "...." He sighed and pulled his hair back behind his ear, trying briefly to unwind it from his feather earring while he turned his cheek to Hikari.

Hikari smiled slightly to Celestine as she opened the container and sat down beside Celestine before she dipped her first two fingers into the container and got a bit onto her fingers before she started to spread it gently over the cuts on his face. She then got a bit more and took his hands, spreading the stuff over his palms as well. "Sorry..." she said quietly since he's sucked in his breath when she touched him. She held one hand over his cheek and the other over his hands. Moments later the dim white aura surrounded her palms and her eyes started to glow a little more brightly as she put a little energy into the ointment. After a few moments she smiled and lowered her hands as the aura faded. "There...that's better." she said quietly.

Celestine merely sucked in his breath and closed his eyes when Hikari touched his cheek. That was still really sore. Other than that, he sat still and quiet while she worked, only opening his eyes again when she finished. "...Thanks." he said simply as he raised his hand to wipe off his face and then made a face when he realized that he'd only wiped more gunk onto his cheek. "Ew..." He turned his hand over and started wiping his cheek again with the back of his hand, pinning his ears back in annoyance as he did so.

Hikari watched him and then laughed softly. "You don't like anything on your face, do you?" she asked with a smile. He almost reminded her a of a cat the way he was acting. "I'll get you a towel in a minute." she told him. She didn't want to get up just yet. She hadn't used a lot of energy, but considering the amount that she had used last night even a little right now was tiring, especially since she hadn't slept very well. "So when did oyu learn how to heal, I didn't know you could do that before today."

Celestine sighed slightly, "You didn't ask." he said simply, "Marius told you...my mother was a healer." he said simply, "She taught me a little... I picked the rest up on my own. I'm nowhere near as good as she was."

Kyran continued to sit quietly while Hikari moved back over to the bed to work on Celestine's cuts and his hands. He glanced back over towards them when Hikari said that she would get him a towel in a minute. He had wanted something to do, rather than just sit there and stare. Since Hikari had brought up how Celestine had learned how to heal he thought that was a good distraction so that he could try and get some clothes on again. He pulled the blanket slightly and kept it covering him while he shifted and leaned over the arm of the couch to grab the towel that he had wrapped his pants up in. He lifted it up onto his lap and started to unroll it to see how his pants were. Unfortunately they were still a little damp, mostly because he had to fold his pants over because they were too long for the towel. He sighed softly and continued to pull them from the towel regardless. He set the towel down on the arm of the chair and then took his pants and put them under the blanket then slipped his feet into the legs. He glanced over at Hikari and Celestine briefly before he moved the blanket and stood up, pulling his pants up and buttoning them quickly. If either of them had seen anything he couldn't really help it but he did try at least to make it so he wasn't exposed for very long. He stood there for only a moment before he started to walk over to the bathroom. On his way over he couldn't help but take a moment to look at his tail while he was thinking about it. He knew he hadn't gotten the chance to dry the hair properly so he was afraid the hair would've become a giant poof of purple fur. He wasn't surprised to see that he was right. The fur at the end of his tail looked like a large cotton ball. He sighed heavily and let his tail drop back behind him and he tried to pay it no mind. He opened the bathroom door when he reached it and stepped inside long enough to retrieve a towel from below the sink then started back out to the bed, holding the towel out to Celestine once he made it over to them.

Hikari smiled slightly at Celestine when he said that he wasn't as good as his mother. She heard Kyran moving around, but she kept his eyes on Celestine and resisted the urge to look at him. "I'm sure you will be someday." she said warmly.

"...Yeah...maybe." he said quietly, not really bothering to look at her. He glanced over to Kyran when he heard him moving and then sighed heavily when he caught him pulling up his pants. He looked away again, turning his attention toward the door for a moment. He didn't look back again until he noticed him holding the towel out to him. "Thanks." he said simply as he took it, wiping his face off thoroughly before he started to wipe off his hands. He blinked and raised his hand to his nose, sniffing slightly and then shaking his head a little as he blew out his nose a bit, obviously not too fond on the smell of that stuff.

Hikari smiled slightly when she looked back up to Kyran and then laughed softly at Celestine's reaction to the smell of the ointment. She reached over to the towel once he was finished and cleaned off her own hand before her attention was caught by the ball of fluff at the end of Kyran's tail. She blinked and then laughed, shaking her head slightly. "Hahaha Kyran, what happened to your tail?"


Back in Caledonia, Kanone had finally gotten tired of sitting around the house alone. He'd stayed with Marius for a day and then gone home for a bit, but after going back to talk to Marius for a while he'd finally decided to see if he could catch up with Celestine and the others. He didn't have a whole lot to do here right now, and Marius seemed all for the idea; probably to be sure that someone else was there to keep an eye on Celestine as well...that or just to get him out of his hair. He'd never seemed to worry about Kanone quite as much as he worried over Celestine, though that was mainly because he knew that Kanone could take care of himself well enough. Kanone knew the same was true for Celestine and that he didn't really need to keep an eye on him. He was just didn't want to stay at his house alone and he also kind of missed Aamori. He'd set out early in the morning with little more than a medium sized leather backpack with a couple of changes of clothes, some snacks, and another little surprise for Celestine. Well he couldn't very well leave Kyiri there with no one to feed her. She had just curled up on top of his clothes and gotten comfortable in there while he did all of the traveling. For today he'd simply dressed in his usual attire with the sleeveless dark blue shirt that hung to just above his knees and split up either side and tied off with a gold rope belt. Underneath it he shirt he was wearing his usual brown pants and a pair of hard sole leather boots. He wore another belt under his shirt that sported another of his weapons that he rarely took out. His father had left those for him, and these were much easier to manage than a pole arm. On each side of his belt hung two blades sheathed in black metal that curved slightly with the blades. Two sets of silver cuffs stood open at the front over a small handle that was attached neat the end of the blades. A rotation device was attacked to the first cuff on each blade, which would allow the blades to flip around once drawn so that they would line his forearm up until about his elbows. Finally he reached the beach where the port was and landed and then glanced around for a moment. "Hmm...." he rubbed the back of his head slightly as he looked at the gate and started walking in that direction a bit unsurely. "Um...excuse me!" he called to whoever was over there. He didn't even look like he half knew what he was doing. He'd never really tried to leave Caledonia to get to Kairava before. "Um........is this the way to Kairava??" He asked with an slight smile. He may as well make sure he's in the right place before he went asking how in the heck he was supposed to get across there.

Kyran stood there for a moment after Celestine had taken the towel from him. He watched while Celestine started cleaning off his face and his hands. He couldn't help but laugh a little himself seeing the reaction he gave to the smell of the ointment. "My uncle was more concerned with how the stuff worked, rather than how it smelled." He commented quietly. He was about to walk back over to the couch to sit down again but stopped and looked at Hikari when she laughed and asked about his tail. He guessed that wasn't very easy to hide and it was so out of place. He sighed and brought his tail around in front of him a little and stared at the fluff at the end of his tail. "...After cleaning up Nanashi, and getting drenched again by Celestine..." He paused and shook his head lightly. "Well... I didn't get the chance to dry the fur properly... and it fluffed up like this." He said and then wagged the tip of his tail a little. "Unfortunately it happens when I don't tend to it right away." He answered quietly.

The guard on the other side of the gate that heard the wind dragon looked over towards him but didn't approach the gate right away. He finished what short conversation he was having with another guard before finally making his way over. He looked the wind dragon over a little before even saying anything to him. "Yes, it's the only way into the territory." He answered. "What business do you have here?" He asked getting to the point. This guard was a different one from the one that the others had encountered and he at least appeared to be a little more accepting of the other clans, not bothering to jump to any immediate discrimination.

On the other side of the gate, with the guards was a creature very similar to Nobu. He was roughly the same size, only he looked more slender because his fur wasn't fluffy or anything like Nobu's. Instead his fur looked more like the skin of a seal and it looked like water would just bead on his fur and slid right off of him. His fur was cerulean blue and he had only one tail, rather than the three that Nobu had. He also had hair at his haunches that fanned out just a little and resembled fins and just like Nobu, this one didn't have any eyes. At least not visible. He was running around, rather rambunctiously while playing with another one of the guards. Obviously he liked playing fetch and in the water even. The guard was throwing the ball into the water and watching the canine run and then dive into the ocean to go after it and then bring it back with amazing speed, only to have the ball thrown once again.

Celestine made a face and lowered his hand away from his nose. "Obviously..." he said before he finally stood up again and walked over the the bathroom. A few moments later they would hear the water running as he turned it on and started to scrub his hands as well as that side of his face before he found a clean towel and dried himself off. He heard Kyran's response to Hikari's question from the bathroom and rolled his eyes. "You deserved it. You were already wet, I had no intention of getting in." he muttered as he came back out.

Hikari laughed again, "Oh I see...so that's why everyone's clothes were wet." she said as she shook her head. She looked over to Celestine and then back to Kyran again. "Well, would you like some help straightening it out?" she asked with a soft laugh. "I have a comb, though I'm not quite sure how well that will work on your little cotton tail, there." she giggled.

Kanone smiled warmly at the guard, "Whoo glad I found the right place." he commented before he went to answer his question. "Well...no real business. My cousin and his friends headed that way the other day, so I wanted to try to catch up with them and say 'hi' to Aamori. She told me I could stop by sometime if I could manage to make it, so...well I haven't got anything else going on." he said lightly. "Can I come in?" He blinked when he noticed the thing that kept swimming back and forth and stepped a little closer to the gate, peeking curiously around the guard. "...Huh?" The thing reminded him a little of the big purple thing that was with the group. He hadn't looked it over too well, but that was what the other thing put him in the mind of well...only drenched and a different color.

Kyran looked over towards the bathroom when he heard what Celestine had said on his way out and sighed softly. "I admit I got side tracked and didn't think to grab him first, but look it at this way..." He paused. "You don't need to take a bath now, or wash your clothes." He commented and then looked back to Hikari when she asked if he would like some help straightening out the fur on the tip of his tail. He stared down at the fur before reaching for his tail with one hand and then trying to run his fingers through the fluff of fur. He sighed heavily seeing that it was even a little difficult to get his fingers through it. "...I don't think the comb is going to be of much use." He uttered quietly. He continued to try working his fingers through it for a little longer before he just gave up and dropped his tail. Right now he didn't have the patience to mess with the fur and he wasn't really sure he wanted to accept help straightening it out.

The guard stared a little blankly at him while he spoke. His first thought being that finding the way to Kairava wasn't all that hard and if he wanted to be technical, the moment he'd set foot on the sand on the other side of the gate, he'd touched Kairava. He continued to stare, his expression not really changing except when he heard him say the Elder in training's name. Which of course made him remember that she had passed through here just the other day with an unusual grouping of dragons. After hearing her name he hadn't really heard anything else that the wind dragon had said until he asked if he could come in. It was probably apparent that he hadn't heard everything that he had said because he looked at the guy with an expression of 'did you say something?' He sighed softly, he had at least heard the request to come inside. Since the guy knew of Aamori, he couldn't very well turn him away as easily as he could others. He reached over to the lock and started to unlock the gate, pulling the door open and waiting for the guy to come inside so that he could close the gate and lock it up again. After he was inside and the gate was locked again he looked over at the guy. "In order for you to go any further, I'm going to need your name." He told him before he looked over at the guard playing with the canine and flagged him down. "Get Zale ready to run a message to Miss Aamori on the main island, the training grounds." He said and then turned his attention back to the wind dragon.

Zale stopped and sat down when the guard that was playing with him took the ball and started over to the main office, stepping inside for a moment. He waited patiently until the guard returned though he was a little less enthused to see the collar that the guard came back with. He would've preferred to play fetch some more but apparently it was time to work. He sat still while the guard put the collar on him and adjusted it so that the little water proof casing was hanging down right above his chest. Then the guard proceeded to tell him where he had to go and who he was supposed to get the message to. He gave a slight nod of his head and was prepared to go once the message was put in the case around his neck.

Celestine rolled his eyes slightly and then shook his head a little. "Whatever... I'm going to go finish drying off now..." he said simply as he headed for the door, "Everything on me is still wet..." He hadn't even bothered to put on his moccasins again, he knew those would still be wet too and he wasn't too worried about going barefoot in here. It wasn't like there was something to hurt him. Once he reached the door he turned the handle and stepped back into the hallway again before going to the arch and stepping back into the courtyard. He could probably get to the roof now if he wanted but he was still tired and didn't feel like trying so he was just looking for a nice, sunny spot around here to sit for a while.

Hikari laughed again softly when he started to try to fix his tail. "Haha..." she glanced to Celestine briefly and nodded to him as he left the room and then looked back to Kyran. "Haha Kyran, you look like you're part rabbit." she said with a soft laugh. "You could try to wet it again and then brush it out." she pointed out, "I hope you don't plan to go the whole day like that." she said with another soft giggle.

Kanone sighed when the guard didn't seem to hear half of what he was saying. He shook his head slightly and then stepped onto the other side of the gate with a smile, glancing behind him as he locked it again. He took a few steps closer to Zale and then stopped when the guard spoke again. "Huh? Oh it's Kanone." he said simply, "My cousin's Celestine, he's the little short one that's with the bunch. Well and the only one from my clan but...heh anyway..." he rubbed the back of his head again. He seemed a little nervous and uncertain being here for the first time, so he was a little chatty. "So what's that little guy...or...girl called?" he asked, showing more interest in Zale. He wondered if they had any idea what those things were.

Kyran glanced back to Celestine for a moment when he said that he was going to go finish drying off. He sighed softly and gave a slight nod. He watched as he left the room and then looked back to Hikari and tried to smile a little. He kind of saw the humor in this, his tail did look pretty funny. He shook his head when she said he looked part rabbit. Now he really wanted the fur straightened out. When she pointed out that he could wet it again he wasted very little time walking over to the bathroom to get the fur wet again. He really didn't want to go the whole day with it like that, he wasn't sure he could sit through everyone laughing. Once he'd soaked the end of his fur in the sink he wrung the fur out a little and then came back over to the bed and sat down on the edge of it and started grooming it with his fingers. He usually didn't care to groom himself that much but his tail was probably the only thing that he ever tried to keep nice, well, more like keep it from fluffing up like that. "I hate that the tip of the fur on my tail does that..." He muttered quietly.

Hisako had already finished cleaning the weapons in the weapon rack and had put away everything she was using to clean by the time Celestine had come back out from the guestroom. She was on her way back from being downstairs, heading into the courtyard to go check on Aamori. She stopped however when she saw Celestine and looked over at him. "Your cheek looks better." She commented after seeing his cheek. "I assume everything's been taken care of?" She asked as she continued towards Aamori's room, pausing again to wait for an answer.

The guard listened for Kanone's name and then moved back towards the office to scribble a message down on a piece of paper before moving closer to Zale. He looked to Kanone for a moment as he knelt down and folded the note up before sticking it into the case on Zale's collar. "We call him Zale." He answered. "And I wasn't standing guard when the others came through so I have no idea who your cousin is." He said as he stood up and patted Zale on the head. "You can go now, Zale." He told him and pointed to the water.

Zale looked over at Kanone for a moment when he moved closer and then looked to the guard when he came over and knelt down. He lifted his head a little so that the message could be put inside the case a little easier. Once the guard stood back up and told him that he could go he turned around and went straight over to the docks where he'd been diving off before and dove right in. He didn't resurface, not even once since he'd dove into the water. He swam much faster under the water and thankfully he could breath under it too. The trip by boat was over an hour long but he could manage it in just about fifteen minutes if he didn't stop, even less if he was really in a hurry.

Hikari smiled warmly at Kyran and then laughed softly as she stood up and walked over to her bag again, slipping her comb out of the front pocket. She turned around and handed it to him. It had wide teeth so thankfully it wouldn't hurt too badly to be pulled through. "Here. Start at the end and work your way up." she said lightly. "It should help it dry a little faster, too." At leas she assumed the comb going through it would force some of the water out of it. She leaned her head over against his arm since he was muttering about his tail. "Aww...I think it's cute." she said with a soft laugh.

Celestine sighed softly when Hisako caught him again and then nodded slightly, showing her his hands as well. "Yes...for the most part." he said with a sigh. He looked around for a moment and then finally found a nice grassy area near the fountain and flopped down before he stretched out on his stomach and spread his damp wings out along the grass so that they could finish drying. They were mostly only still wet because he'd kept them folded up all night and his hair was wet because most of it had been trapped in his wings. He just crossed his arms over the grass and closed his eyes as he rested his chin on his arms.

Kanone smiled slightly when the guard answered his question about Zale, though he'd gathered that name before. He laughed weakly when he said that he hadn't been on duty and had no idea who he was talking about. "Ah...hehe Gotcha." he said as he watched Zale go hop off of the dock. He blinked when he saw the thing swimming off so quickly under the water. "...Whoa he swims fast." he commented, mostly to himself. He glanced back to the guard with that same friendly smile and tilted his head, "So do you have any idea what he is? I've seen one kind of like him before...once...different color and more tails, but otherwise it was about the same."

Kyran watched as she headed over to her bag once again, coming back with the comb this time. He sighed softly and took it from her when she handed it to him. "...Thanks." He looked at it for a moment before he started run the comb through his hair, starting at the end as she instructed and working his way up. He glanced over at her when she leaned her head against his arm, then shook his head a little when she said that she thought it was cute. He sure as hell didn't think it was cute, it was more annoying than anything. He sighed softly and went back to watching what he was doing. "...I think you're the only person to think that." He commented finally.

Hisako smiled slightly seeing that even his hands were already taken care of. That was good, that meant she shouldn't have to report anything that happened. Though she did still have to check and see who all was here last night and see if anyone had seen anything. Though, she kind of doubted anyone had. She watched Celestine move out towards the fountain and lay down in the grass before she continued to walk to Aamori's room. She'd agreed to let her sleep a little while longer but she did still need to get up, after all today was the last day that she'd have for working on that ability if she needed to. Once she reached Aamori's room she pushed the door open and walked inside, not surprised to see her still curled up in the bed and out like a light. She stepped over to the bed and shook her head lightly while she reached out and put her hand on her shoulder. "Aamori... come on, I've let you sleep long enough." She uttered while shaking her arm a bit. When she didn't get a response from her she pulled the blanket off of her and shook her a little harder. "Aamori... get up!" She continued and then sighed when all that accomplished was for her to roll over away from her. "Why do you have to be so difficult..." She muttered and moved her hand from her shoulder. She then reached down and grabbed a hold of her tail and gave it a quick jerk which of course startled her awake with a small yelp. "I told you to get up." She uttered as she released her tail. "Get up and get dressed, you can't very well sleep all day." She muttered before moving away from the bed, back towards the door. She knew Aamori could easily sleep most of the day away, especially since it looked like she'd been up later than she needed to be. She stood near the door and waited until Aamori was at least sitting up in bed and then stepped back outside and shut the door behind her.

The guard watched as Zale left the port and then started to walk back towards the office, pausing when he heard the question that Kanone had asked. He looked back over at him and shook his head a little. "No, I can't say that I know what he is." He paused. "And Zale is the first and only thing like him that I've ever seen." He said and then continued over to the office and passed it for a moment, to the gate. He double checked that he had indeed locked it up tight before returning to the office to stand near it.

Hikari shook her head slightly and raised her head up off of his shoulder and then looked up to him again. "Mm and how many people's opinions really matters?" she asked playfully. She tiptoed up a pressed her lips lightly to his jaw before she dropped back down and walked over to the bed again to retrieve the container and then returned to her back to put it away. Once she'd done that she just returned to the bed and sat down at the end again with a soft sigh befre she looked back to the window. "...I guess it's about too late to go back to sleep..." she commented quietly.

Celestine wasn't too interested in what Hisako was doing, though she glanced up when he heard her inside Aamori's room trying to wake her. He almost laughed at how much trouble she was having getting her up. He wasn't too surprised, she was always hard to get up so with her being tired on top of it he wouldn't be surprised to heard that Hisako had to flip her off of her mattress. When Hisako finally came back out he lowered his head again and closed his eyes again with a soft sigh.

Kanone nodded slightly and then sighed softly as he looked back out over the water again. He wasn't too sure what to do with himself at the moment so he just followed the guard over closer to the office and stood there awkwardly. "So...um..." he started until he felt a wiggly from his backpack. "Ah, hey, cut it out!" he said as he reached back to the bag trying to hold the flap closed.

Kyiri had just woken up and caught the smell of water...and fish. In spite of Kanone's efforts she still managed to poke her head out of the pack from the opposite side from where his hand was and then wiggled out. She climbed up onto his shoulder and then launched herself off and onto the ground before she scampered over to the dock and and leaned her head over, sniffing at the water before she reached down with her paw and smacked at the water like she was trying to fish something out.

Kanone blinked. "Oh you've got to be kidding me. Come back here you stupid cat, we're not fishing!" he said as he hurried over to the dock to retrieve the little hairball. He blinked when he saw what she was smacking at, "Kyiri that's thing is bigger than you are!"

Kyiri meowed in annoyance when Kanone snatched her away from her over sized prey and then turned around to hiss at him before she hopped back onto his shoulder and started licking her wet paw.

Kyran glanced down at her when she asked how many people's opinions mattered. "Not many." He paused. "Only those opinions that belong to a certain beautiful light dragon girl that I know." He continued to comb through the fur, pausing briefly when she kissed his jaw and then smiled before starting to comb again. He finished straightening out the fur at the end of his tail and then let his tail slink back behind him before curling it up like he usually did. He looked over to Hikari after hearing what she said, then looked towards the window himself. He shook his head a little. "If you're still tired, you can go back to sleep." He paused. "I was actually thinking about doing that myself..." He uttered. He was still tired and pretty sore from trying to sleep on that tiny couch, so he had seriously thought about going back to sleep for at least a couple hours. As far as he knew there wasn't really anything important going on today and as it was Nanashi still had to recuperate so they couldn't very well go relic hunting. He moved over to her and held the comb out to her. "If you're going to stay up, you may need this." He commented quietly. Unlike him, she had hair that needed to be brushed after sleeping.

Hisako gave a heavy sigh and stood there for a moment before she remembered that she never did bring Aamori's boots back up. She shook her head lightly and proceeded down the hall towards the door to the stairs. Aamori was going to need those and at times like this she really wished that she had more pairs of boots. She slipped through the door and headed down stairs to retrieve them.

Aamori really hadn't wanted to get out of bed. She was still a little tired and she hadn't regained all of her energy yet. She probably would've fought Hisako more on getting to stay in bed if she hadn't jerked her tail like she did forcing her to wake up in a very unpleasant way. She laid in bed for a few minutes rubbing her tail lightly before she actually sat up and threw her legs over the side of the bed. She was pretty slow moving at first, once she managed to get out of bed and took her sweet time getting dressed. After she'd been up for a little while she'd more than likely perk up and not seem so worn out. She spent a few minutes longer in her room while she got dressed into her elder clothes again. Like before she put on the dress-top rather than her training top. She just wasn't in the mood for training with Hisako right now and actually, now that she was thinking about it she still had the rest of today to work on that ability. She gave a heavy sigh and dropped her shoulders slightly. She really just wanted to crawl back in bed. She made her way over to the vanity and grabbed her brush, glancing in the mirror for a moment to see just how bad her hair was. She shook her head a little trying not to laugh at her own reflection. Her hair sure was a mess and it had even come out from under her horns a lot more than it had before she went to sleep. She sighed and sat down in front of the vanity and started to work on her hair, unfortunately it was going to take a little more time than she had previously thought.

The guard looked back over towards Kanone when he started to move closer. He quirked a brow slightly when he started reaching for the bag at his back. He was a little surprised by the creature that wiggled out of the bag and soon made it's way onto Kanone's shoulder and then straight for the docks. Since he'd seen a creature like Zale, that cat-creature really didn't phase him. Though it was still a little weird. He continued to stand where he was and watch as Kanone went after the cat. He laughed a little seeing as the cat had apparently been trying to go after one of the fish. Considering the cats size, to the size of the fish around here it was kind of humorous. "You may want a leash or something for that cat if you get permission to go to the main island." He commented after moving a little closer to get a better look at the cat.

Zale was finally reaching the other port and had started to surface as he got closer to the dock where he proceeded to launch himself from the water up onto the dock. As soon as all four of his feet were on the dock he shook his fur a little, even though there really wasn't a need since the water practically slid right off of him. He then started over to the other gate and waited for the guard standing there to check his collar. After the guard looked at the paper inside he put it back and then opened the gate for him a told him again where to go. As soon as he was given the okay he started through the gate and rushed towards the training building. It was a straight shot from the port so all he had to do was manage to dodge the people when he went through the merchant district, other than that it was an easy run. When he got closer to the building he didn't really start to slow down until there wasn't enough time and he practically threw himself against the large double doors. After he collided with the doors he took a step back and shook his head a little before looking up at the doors. He waited a moment before moving back to the doors to start scratching, waiting for someone to let him in.

Hikari laughed softly when Kyran handed her the comb back and then brought her own hair around her shoulder. She stroked it a couple of times with the comb and then sighed and stood up to put it away. "Mmm... I think a few more hours sounds good..." she said simply. "...Then a bath sounds a step away from Paradise afterward." she said with a soft laugh. She still felt a little gross after getting all sweaty last night and going straight to bed. She wanted to clean off and change clothes...if she could ever figure out where her other clothes had ended up. Once she'd putt he comb away she went right back to the bed and say down again, "Well now that you're covered I see no reason to keep sleeping on the couch."

Celestine startled when he heard the loud bang against the front doors and then looked back, folding his wings behind him again as he looked over to the door. He stood up slowly as he brushed himself off and then walked over to the door, a little curious to see what the heck was going on. He looked at the door as he listened to the scratching sound and then slowly reached out to open it. He blinked when he saw what was making the sounds on the other side. "What the?" he recognized that type creature easily enough. "Another one?" He'd never really expected to see any of the others aside from Nobu and Gesa. 'huh...wonder if Nobu knows about this...'

Kanone sighed heavily and looked over to the guard. "Haha...I'd love to, but she'd probably just chew through it." he said simply, "This stupid thing doesn't listen to anyone but Celestine, and I couldn't leave her at the house with no one there. Maybe he can do something with her." He reached up to pat her head only to feel her teeth clamp down on his fingers. "YEOUCH!!!" he yelped, his ears perking straight up as his tail shot straight out behind him. He pulled his hand down and rubbed his fingers which were bleeding slightly. "....You want me to feed you to that fish?" he muttered. "I just fed you before we left you can't be hungry again already!"

Kyiri just stood up on Kanone's shoulder and then hopped off again, prancing over to the guard to sniff out his shoes.

Kanone sighed. "Want a cat?"

Kyran watched as she started to use the comb on her hair but stopped and then put it away. He smiled and shook his head lightly after listening to her talk about a bath after sleeping for a few more hours. A bath might have sounded nice to him too aside from the fact that he'd had one just last night and he wasn't going to enjoy the bath unless he was the only body he had to bathe. Having to bathe Nanashi too, was just really awkward. He was at least glad that he'd slept through a good portion of it. He started to move back over to his side of the bed to sit down since she'd said she didn't see a reason for him to keep sleeping on the couch. The bottom of his pant legs still weren't completely dry but he did want to sleep on the bed this time. For now he guessed he could just sleep on top of the covers. He sat there for a moment before lifting his legs up onto the bed and laying back. He gave a content sigh and glanced over at Hikari for a moment. "...This is definitely nicer than that couch." He commented quietly.

Zale continued to scratch at the door until it was opened. As soon as it opened he looked up at the dragon who had opened the door and then he wagged his tail back and forth rather quickly just before pushing his way in past the dragon. Once he was inside he looked around a little and then sat down where he had stopped. While he sat there his tail was gently smacking against the ground and he seemed like he was waiting for something. He tilted his head back and looked at the wind dragon. He was curious about hearing him say 'another one'. He hadn't met very many people who'd said something like that upon seeing him. He kind of wanted to walk around and see if there was another canine like him around here but he was sent with a message and he wasn't going to go anywhere until it had been delivered. Though it was probably obvious that he'd rather be running around just by his tail smacking against the ground and he kept repeatedly starting to stand up and then sit back down.

Hisako wasn't downstairs for too long. She was down there long enough to grab a couple things and head back upstairs. When she slipped back through the door she couldn't help but notice Zale sitting impatiently near the front doors. She smiled slightly seeing him, it'd been awhile since she'd seen him and he usually didn't go any further than the port on this side so she was a little curious as to why he was here. Judging by the way he was sitting and looking over at Celestine he was waiting for someone to check his collar. She started over towards him and knelt down beside him, setting the clothes and boots down beside her while she reached over to pat Zale on the head and check his collar for a message. "It's been a while, Zale." She said with a smile as she pulled the paper from the case of his collar. She stood up straight and held the paper pinched between her fingers as she looked over at Celestine. "Zale delievers messages between the ports since he swims as fast as he does." She explained before unfolding the paper and skimming over it. "Hmm..." She folded the paper back up and then looked towards Aamori's door. She was glad to see Aamori stayed awake, had gotten dressed and was on her way out of her room. "Aamori!" She called. "Zale brought a message for you." She added holding the paper up so that she could see it.

Aamori didn't take very long on brushing her hair, it was a little easier when she could use her stuff. After she finished her hair and stood up from the vanity she was going to but her boots on but couldn't find them anywhere in her room. She finally remembered that Hisako said she'd get them cleaned the other day. She sighed and started out of her room, pulling the door shut behind her. She lifted her eyes and looked over towards the front doors when she heard Hisako call her and then said that Zale had brought her a message. She smiled when she saw Zale and then started walking over to them, trying not to put too much pressure down on her right foot since it was still a little swollen and bruised. She shook her head lightly finally noticing how much Zale and Nobu looked alike. She didn't see Zale a whole lot so maybe that was why she hadn't ever noticed that before. When she made it over to them she smiled at Zale and knelt down to pet his head a little before focusing back on that message. She stood up and snatched it from Hisako and opened it up so that she could read it. She read over the note pretty quickly and her face practically lit up, then she grinned a little and folded the note up again and looked over at Hisako. "Do you have a pen? I'd like to send Zale back quickly, letting them know it's alright with me."

Hisako watched as Aamori took snatched the paper from her and started reading it. She tilted her head a little seeing her reaction. She'd read the message too but she didn't recognize the name at all. She assumed it must have been someone that she met while she was on this trip. She lifted her hand up and patted her coat a little before pulling it away from her a little and reaching into an inside pocket and removing a small pen and handing it to Aamori. "Sorry... that's all I've got." She said as she watched Aamori take the pen and then rip a small piece of the paper Zale had come with. Then she knelt down a little and started scribbling on the paper against her knee. After she signed the edge of the ripped paper she stuffed it back into Zale's case hanging from his collar. Hisako shook her head a little and watched as Aamori stood back up and handed her the pen back.

The guard couldn't help but laugh a little again when the cat bit Kanone. He wouldn't be surprised if she'd bitten him for calling her a 'stupid thing'. He watched as the cat hopped down from his shoulder and came over to him. He glanced back to Kanone for a moment and then shook his head. "No, I can't say I do." He paused and reached into his pocket for a small bag and pulled it out as he backed up a little and knelt down. "Zale would probably think she was a toy, anyway." He said quietly as he reached into the bag and pulled out a small sliced square of fish and held it out to the cat. "Here... this fish can't exactly eat you." He said with a quiet laugh. Some of the guards who were on better terms with Zale tried to carry small squares of fish with them to use as treats. Zale really loved fish, so as long as they kept fresh cut squares in their pockets Zale was happy.

Hikari smiled warmly and then moved back a little before she pulled her legs back up onto the bed and then laid down, burrowing herself back under the covers again. She scooted a little closer to Kyran and nuzzled her head against his arm as she closed her eyes and then raised her arm to drape over his chest though her hand lingered for a moment on the rough scar. She sighed softly, rubbing her hand along his chest as if petting it. Luckily for him she didn't have the energy to pour into arguing with him about getting rid of the scars now.

Celestine stared at the canine for a few moments, edging a little closer to it. He smiled slightly seeing the way that he kept trying to get up and then reached down to lay his hand on it's head. He blinked when he felt how slippery his fur was and then pulled his hand back when he heard Hisako coming back. He glanced to the canine again when she called him by name and then looked back to her again when she explained what he was doing. Well, that explained the collar he guessed. He watched her remove the letter and then glanced toward the door when she called for Aamori before he looked back to Zale again, rubbing the top of his head again until Aamori got over there and started petting him. He then watched her reach the letter and tilted his head slightly when she seemed to happy. "...What just made your day?" he asked as she stuffed the letter back into his collar. He looked at the canine again and smiled as he reached to rub him behind the ears again, kneeling down this time. Again it was painfully obvious what a sucker for animals he was, thought he already assumed that this one was a little more than that. "Heh, sounds like you get to do a lost of swimming, don't ya boy?" he asked quietly as he rubbed his head.

Kanone laughed slightly, "He could have her. Play a few rounds of kitty soccer." he said with a light snicker. He smiled when the guard offered Kyiri a piece of fish. "Careful...you may lose a hand..." he said simply. Though it seemed the only person she ever really bit was him.

Kyiri looked at the guard and then sniffed at the fish before she carefully took the little square in her teeth. She stood there for a moment looking at him with those big yellow eyes as she swished her tails around a bit in thanks before she turned and scampered up Kanone's pants and shirt up to his shoulder and then hopped up on top of his head to eat.

Kanone rolled his eyes slightly when she took the fish so carefully. "Oh sure, don't bite him. Why do you only bite me, you stupid cat?" he said in a half playful tone. He probably would have smacked her butt if she had bitten the guard. He blinked when she came climbing his clothes and held his arm out so she didn't climb on that and then blinked when she got on his head to eat. "Gah! Don't sit on my head and eat that!" His eye twitched slightly when he heard her chowing down on the fish. ".........Great."

Kyran smiled a bit when she scooted closer and nuzzled against his arm. Though his smile faded rather quickly when she touched the scar on his chest. He continued to lay there for a few brief moments just letting her rub her hand along his chest before he sighed and lifted his hand to grab hers gently. He still didn't want her to do anything to make the scars go away and he didn't really want her touching it. He was tired, so long as she'd just leave the scar alone he'd be able to fall asleep.

Zale seemed to relax a little once he had a small crowd of people around him. Every time Celestine touched him he turned his head to look at him though once Hisako and Aamori started making a small fuss over the letter that he'd brought them his attention shifted back to them. He just sat there watching as Aamori got the return letter ready and lifted his head a little while she put the paper back into the case on his collar. Once she was done he looked back over to Celestine, he was a new person so of course he was a little more interested in him than Aamori or Hisako. He couldn't keep himself seated anymore, especially since someone he didn't know had knelt down to his level. He stood up and turned to face Celestine, mere moments after he'd spoken to him and within an instant of that he'd already reached over with his forked tongue and slobbered all over his cheek.

Aamori looked over at Celestine when he asked what made her day. She smiled and shook her head lightly. "It's nothing you need to be concerned with." She answered and then chuckled. She wasn't about to tell him who was waiting to be able to come here. She liked the idea of the contents of the letter she got being a surprise especially since the only other person who had read the letter was Hisako and she didn't know who the person was. She couldn't help chuckling again while she thought about it.

Hisako took her pen and replaced it in her pocket once Aamori handed it back to her. She then looked between Aamori and Celestine when Aamori went to answer his question. She wasn't sure why Aamori hadn't just told him why she was so happy but she assumed that she had her reasons. She shook her head lightly seeing how much Aamori was chuckling. She then reached down to pick up the clothes that she'd set down beside her when she first came in. She held them out to Aamori. "Here, your boots and I'm pretty sure the other outfit is Hikari's." She uttered. It was a pretty easy guess that the white outfit belonged to Hikari. She'd seen her in it when they first got here, but no one else here that she knew wore that much white. She turned back to look at Zale once Aamori took the clothes. "...Well, I'll make sure Zale gets started on getting that message back to the other port." She said as she moved over to the large doors and opened it, holding it for Zale. "C'mon Zale, you need to hurry back."

The guard looked up at Kanone when he said that he may lose a hand and shook his head lightly. He felt that animals were nice to you if you didn't give off a bad vibe. He smiled a bit when the cat took the piece of fish without biting him. Once the cat started back over to Kanone, he stood up and started to seal the bag and slip it back into his pocket. He looked up on top of Kanone's head and laughed quietly as the cat was eating the fish on his head. "Is it just her that doesn't like you, or is all animals?"

Hikari raised her head a little when she felt him move her hand and then sighed softly as she settled back against him again, moving her hand slightly to lace her fingers between his. She closed her eyes again and nuzzled his arm again as she tried to get comfortable, finally dozing off a few minutes after she'd gotten still. At least this time she could hopefully get some decent rest.

Celestine glanced to Aamori for a moment and was about to say something before Zale slobbered all over his cheek. "Ah!! Hahaha! Hey, now!" he said as he turned his attention back to Zale and rubbed the top of his head while he dried his cheek with his sleeve. He didn't seem to mind the canine licking him in the face. Already he'd forgotten what he was about to say to Aamori, so he didn't bother to press her on it. It probably wasn't any of his business anyway. He glanced to Hisako when she opened the door and then chuckled softly as he stood up, rubbing Zale's head again as he motioned him toward the doors. "Go on." He said with another soft laugh.

Kanone turned his eyes to the guard without really moving his head, half afraid that Kyiri would slide off and claw his face open. "...Oh she loves me as long as I have food." he said, rolling his eyes a little. "This is Celestine's cat...he's like an animal magnet, I haven't seen one yet that hasn't loved him. Personally...I'm more of a dog person...for obvious reasons." he said with a soft laugh as he pointed up to the little hairball on his head.

Kyiri finally finished her little piece of fish and then hopped off of of Kanone's head and pranced right back over to the guard, licking her lips as the little bell around her neck jingled quietly. She looked up at him and mewed softly, hoping to score another piece.

Kanone blinked and then shook his head, smacking the crumbs from his hair. "Hey, you glutton, that's enough, those aren't yours." he said as he went to pick her up again. "You're going to be a wide as you are long if you keep eating like that."

Zale looked to Celestine briefly before he started to move towards the door. He knew he still had work to do which was why he wasn't trying to stay and play. He passed through the door, the whole time his tail wagged behind him. Once he was through he looked back for a moment to look at Hisako just before he started to dash for the gate again. This time he had a reason to want to come back here so he was in a little more of a hurry this time than he was when he first came over. He had still wanted to investigate that comment about 'another one' but first he had to get back to the other port. As soon as he got closer to the gate the guard had already pulled the gate open because he saw him coming. If he hadn't opened it then the canine would've probably smacked right into the metal bars. Since the gate was opened he continued straight through without stopping and dove into the ocean and started swimming back to the other port.

Hisako laughed quietly when she saw Zale slobber on Celestine when he licked him and then watched as Zale passed through the door. She started to follow after him when he looked back at her but he took off running without any warning and there just wasn't any way for her to catch up to him. She sighed heavily and then shook her head lightly. "He's in such a hurry." She commented quietly. Oh well... this gave her time to finish her other running around. She had a couple of things she needed to check on and she also needed to see what was keeping Yoichi from coming in today. He was a lot later than he was on occasion. Since she had already let the door close behind her she didn't bother saying where she was going and just started off to run her errands.

Aamori looked down at the stuff in her arms after Zale and Hisako had left. She still had a slight smile on her face. She hadn't thought that Kanone would even bother to come visit, let alone so soon so she was pretty happy about it and it was such a nice surprise. She only hoped that the guards weren't giving him a hard time or anything. She sighed softly and turned slightly to walk back into the courtyard. She went straight over to the fountain and sat down, setting Hikari's clothes down on the ground beside her for a moment while she started putting her boots back on. She got her left boot on easily enough but struggled a little with her right boot just because her foot was still swollen. At least now it didn't hurt too badly and her limp wasn't all that noticeable.

The guard looked up to Kyiri as Kanone answered his question and then some. Honestly... could this guy answer a question without giving you more information than you asked for? He sighed softly and then noticed the cat hop down from Kanone again. He watched as she came over and then smiled a little when she mewed. He started to reach back into his pocket for the bag again, anyway. They had plenty of fish in the area so it wasn't like they were just going to run out. "These won't put that much weight on her." He said with a soft laugh and continued to open the bag and pull another piece out. "If she ate the whole fish that these came from... then... yeah, she'd get pretty fat." He reached over to her since Kanone had picked her up and held the piece of fish out to her. "As long as she's happy, it wouldn't matter if she was fat." He paused. "Well, unless you intended to carry her in your pack all the time." He kept the bag out this time, just in case she wanted more.

Celestine half smiled as Zale left and then shook his head slightly. He was half surprised to see that Hisako had gone out after him and didn't return. After a few moments he shook his head and glanced back to where Aamori had gone before he turned to follow her out to the courtyard again, watching silently as she put on her boots. "How is your ankle?" he asked simply since she seemed to be having some issues with her boot. "I didn't know you sprained anything." he hadn't really been paying that much attention to her limbs last night, he'd just noticed her hair was all messed up when she came back. It was dark so he really hadn't been able to see much anyway.

Kanone shook his head slightly. "As soon as we get to wherever I'm going she can walk." he said simply, "Then Cel can deal with her." He watched as she took the fish from the guy again and chuckled softly, "This little devil will eat you out of house and home if you let her. I can't eat fish at the house with her around. If I look away for a second, it's gone when I turn around." He finally glanced over his shoulder to the water again and sighed softly. "...So how far away is this island anyway?" he asked as he looked back to him, "I'm not going to get lost trying to fly out there, am I?" he asked, obviously clueless as to how he was supposed to get over there. He at least seemed pretty confident that he was going to be allowed to enter...Aamori had invited him after all and it sounded like that note was asking for her permission to let him over.

Kyiri's tails swished beneath her when he held out the fish and again she took it carefully, holding it between her paws as she ate, though a few moments later a definite purring sound could be easily heard coming from deep in her throat while she chewed. As soon as she was finished with that piece she was looking at the guard expectantly.
