Hisako shook her head a little. "I assure you, both of your Grandsons have the utmost respect for you and only spoke of good things." She laughed quietly when she heard him say 'With Kanone here' and the 'of course there is'. She wasn't very surprised to think that Aamori may have had a partner in this whole scheme. It wasn't exactly like Aamori to go sneakily inviting people like this, especially Elders from other clans. She blinked for a second and then glanced over at Marius when he stumbled back and then smiled slightly seeing how Celestine had reacted to seeing him. She laughed quietly and shook her head a little. "I think that might be the fastest I've ever seen anyone have a mood change." She paused. "He looked awfully peeved with Aamori so I didn't foresee him coming out of that quite that fast." She chuckled. "I guess Grandpa's just have that untold power of making everything better."

Aamori slipped out of her room and shut the door behind her while starting to head back into the courtyard. She lifted her eyes and smiled a bit when she saw Marius and the others at the other side of the courtyard. She was glad to see that Marius had decided to come. She hadn't seen or heard from Zale since she sent him so she wasn't even sure that he'd come. She continued across the courtyard, taking her time walking. She was noticing as she got closer that Celestine's mood seemed to have improved, considerably. That was good since hers had too. She finally came to a stop just shy of the arch and smiled over at Marius. "I'm glad you could come on such short notice." She said happily. She was really glad that Zale had delivered the letter. Going from one territory into another that he'd never been in before.. that was kind of impressive.

LaRae sighed quietly and nuzzled against him again for a moment. She had kind of pushed aside some of the details of the last time they'd had a run in with Renzo. It wasn't too hard to do since she wasn't even completely conscious for certain parts but then again they were still easily enough brought back into her memory. She could've lived without being reminded that Renzo was the one that kissed her that time. She had been aware enough to feel it and would've preferred hearing that it had been Nanashi over Renzo. She at least wouldn't mind Nanashi stealing kisses from her. "...I'm sure it's obvious ...I don't like him for nearly the same reasons." She paused. "...With the addition that I don't really like being treated as just someones possession." She mumbled. Unfortunately that's kind of the way she was looked at by quite a few people. At least by her Elder, Renzo and her Foster family thought of her as a possession to be had and openly talked about her like one. She sighed quietly. "I have a feeling that considering his lack of presence thus far... I may be plagued by him in Medini.... and there... he actually has some jurisdiction over everything." She muttered quietly.

Celestine blushed even more after Hisako spoke and groaned quietly before he leaned his head against Marius' chest again, though he looked more like he was hiding his face than anything. He was a bit embarrassed at having darted over here so quickly and hugging him the way that he had in front of everyone. He definitely wasn't usually like that, no matter what kind of mood he was in. He sighed softly when he heard Aamori and raised his head a little to glance back at her again. "..."

Marius was at least glad to hear that the boys hadn't been saying anything embarrassing about him. He chuckled when Hisako started to comment on Celestine's mood and he tried to hide his face in his robes. "He does that a lot." he said with a soft laugh. It was true; Celestine did tend to have some pretty drastic mood swings depending on what was going on. He smiled again warmly when she said that grandpa's just made everything better. "Of course we do, that's what we're here for." he said as he placed a hand on the back of Celestine's head and looked down at him fondly. His eyes trailed back up to Aamori and he lowered his hand a bit when he saw her, offering her a smile. "Of course. Though I also noticed that Celestine left a bit empty handed so I did use the opportunity to bring him a few things." he said simply, "But other than that...why exactly am I here?" he asked with a pleasant smile.

Kanone looked at Celestine and snickered again before he turned his attention back to Marius. He glanced over to Aamori and then laughed quietly to himself when Marius asked why he was here. "Well... We just thought with everything that's gone on you could use a break. It's nice here." he said simply.

Marius looked at Kanone for a moment and then popped him groaned. "You got me to put on this ridiculous hat and hike all the way here for that? What exactly is your idea of a break, Kanone?" He shook his head slightly and then sighed. "Don't you think these poor people have enough people to take care of right now without adding to it? Especially with a little trouble maker like you around."

Kanone winced playfully and put his hand over his head. "Ouch, gramps, that one stung." He smiled slightly and then rubbed his head after Marius gave him another playful smack to the back of the head. "Alright! Point taken!" He looked at Celestine and stuck his tongue out when he heard him laughing. "...Well....you're already here." he said with a smile, "How about it?"

Marius just sighed heavily. "...You certainly know how to get your way." he said simply. He looked over to Aamori and grinned a little, "Don't go picking up his bad habits, Aamori." he said lightly.

Nanashi listened quietly to LaRae and then sighed softly and glanced away again. He wasn't too thrilled to hear that Renzo had jurisdiction, though he had already guessed that much himself. He looked over to her again with a soft, caring expression in those large ruby eyes of his as he raised his hand to her cheek again. "...So would I be in trouble with you if I called you mine?" he asked with a fond smile, though he sounded entirely serious. He stared at her for a moemtn and then leaned a little closer. "...I would like to make up for not being able to stop him..." he told her as he kept his hand to her cheek. He leaned a little closer so that his lips were hovering barely an inch over hers and then stopped. "...May I?" he asked quietly. He waited quietly for an answer white not really moving at all from where he was. This was officially the first time that he'd ever even offered to kiss her when she hadn't initiated it fist, and he was clearly a little bit nervous; enough tot he point that if she said no he may end up sitting at the other end of the bed if not on the couch for a while.

Aamori chuckled quietly watching the exchange between Kanone and Marius. She was pretty sure that Kanone could've saved himself from a those smacks to the head if he'd let her answer the question. At least then she could've made it sound better than Marius was asked all that way just because it was nice here. She looked at Marius when he told her not to go picking up Kanone's bad habits. She smiled a little and shook her head. "I think I get smacked around enough as it is, even if it is usually just training. I certainly don't need bad habits like his to add to it." She smiled slightly. "Though, I don't think he can be blamed completely for your coming here." She paused. "He mentioned how nice it was here the other day thought you might like it here too. When I mentioned you get to stay on your own island... it was kind of a must that you come." She said with a nod. "And of course Kanone leaves out the little details... like he thought Celestine would be happy if you came and he and I purposely didn't let anyone know you were coming just to surprise him when you got here." She paused and chuckled quietly. "We even sent Zale, the only canine who wasn't in Celestine's bed with him... just so he wouldn't be any wiser." She looked at Marius and smiled. "It sounds a lot nicer and less of a pain for you to travel all this way when it's put like that... I'm sure." She added lastly.

Hisako laughed quietly to herself while Celestine was trying to hide in Marius' robes and then again at the back and forth between Marius and Kanone. That was definitely the bond of a family. She glanced over to Aamori when she started to go on explaining things a bit more in detail and smiled. Well, to her anyway it sounded better. Though when Aamori and Kanone were leaving people out of the loop so that Celestine was surprised, it probably didn't mean they had to leave Marius out too. She shook her head lightly and glanced over at Marius after Aamori had finished so that she could confirm something that Aamori mentioned. "She is right about the island. The Elders who visit here get to stay in a nice house built on an island that's kept the natural beauty of Kairava... and since no one else is visiting this time of year... well... that's a whole island with your choice of house all to yourself for as long as you stay." That did sound nice, even to her. She kind of wished that more of Kairava was like that one island but instead they built on quite a few of the areas available.

LaRae smiled when she felt his hand to her cheek and she leaned into his land a little before she looked at him and his expression filled eyes. She stared at him for a moment after his first question with a bit of surprise on her face. Though that was soon taken over by a considerable amount of color that rose to her cheeks. She'd never once heard him say anything quite like that and ordinarily she probably would've hated how he said that since it kind of made her sound like a possession again but coming from him it didn't bother her that much. She finally shook her head a little. "...No no trouble..." She mumbled quietly. She only blushed more when she heard him say that he would like to make up for not being able to stop him and it really wasn't helping the color in her cheeks that he kept getting closer. By the time that he stopped to ask if he could she'd already shut her eyes and her heart rate had increased in anticipation. She was a little surprised that he hadn't just kissed her and smiled a little because he'd asked first. She continued to sit there with her eyes shut and then she nodded her head lightly.

Marius listened to Aamori silently and smiled when she went a bit more in detail about why he was here. He glanced down to Celestine and chuckled softly when she said that they'd surprised him with the visit and then shook his head. Well, clearly they were at least right about Celestine being happy to see him. He chuckled again and then shook his head. "Well... I guess when you put it like that how could I refuse." he smiled and glanced over to Hisako for a moment before he smiled again, "That does sound nice." he admitted before he looked down to Celestine again. He smiled and rubbed the top of his head before he glanced over to Kanone. "Are you going to stand way over there all day?" he asked with a soft chuckle.

"I dunno, are you going to smack me again?" he asked with a grin before he moved a little closer. Finally he put a hand on Celestine's head and pushed him backwards playfully, "Move it, squirt, my turn." He said before he wrapped his arms around Marius, assuming that was what he wanted. He didn't hover around as long as Celestine and backed up again once he'd let go before pushing Celestine back to where he'd been standing. "Alright, you can keep him." he said with a laugh.

Marius just wrapped his arms around Kanone and smiled slightly before he sighed. "Honestly, you spend one week at my house and already know how to talk me into thing." He said as he glanced over to Aamori and chucked again. "If you had told me before that I was coming for a vacation I think I would have had to decline."

Celestine was rather surprised to find out that the hadn't told even Marius why he was coming, though after listening to everything he understood why. He glanced back to Aamori and smiled slightly after hearing that she'd been trying to surprise him...again. Well at least this time she did it right. He blinked when Kanone dragged him backwards and huffed softly since a simple 'excuse me' would have suffice. Far be it for Kanone to just ask him to move. "Gah!" he groaned when he pushed him right back where he had been standing after he moved. He ruffled up his feathers a little and huffed again while giving him a slightly annoyed look and then looked up to Marius again when he'd said that if he'd known he was coming for a vacation he would have declined. "...You're going to stay aren't you?" he asked hopefully, "You're already here....and you've never once even thought about taking time to yourself, have you?" he said, "Please?" He asked again as he started up at him with those big green eyes. He really had no idea how hard that look he was giving was to resist.

Marius blinked and then laughed, "Yes, yes I'll stay. Stop giving me those puppy-dog eyes." he said with another soft laugh, "If it will make you all happy." He rubbed the top of Celestine's head again and then shook his head. "Thank you." he said again, directing it mostly to Aamori and Kanone. He supposed it would be nice to get away for a while, and Kanone was right...he did like it here.

Nanashi didn't move at all until she had nodded and then he smiled slightly, again getting that fluttering butterfly feeling in his stomach. He leaned a little closer, closing his eyes, and touched his lips to hers so lightly that she'd probably barely even be able to tell they were there a first. He opened his eyes and started to pull back and then apparently changed his mined and kissed her again, a little more firmly this time. His eyes closed again as he wrapped his other arm around her shoulders and kept his other hand on her cheek, gently stroking her cheek with his thumb until he finally pulled back. He opened his eyes once again and looked down at her, though his face was still only an inch away from hers. "...Then you can be mine." he said quietly, "If you will have me as yours." He smiled slightly and leaned his head against hers again. "I love you, LaRae... No matter what anyone says, you will always be mine so long as you wish it. You're not a doll, they can't give you away. Even if they try, you'll still be mine...right?" he asked softly.

Aamori stood quietly and smiled a bit while she watched the hug exchange between them. When Marius made his comment about her being able to talk him into things after just a week she smiled and then chuckled quietly. She wasn't really even trying to talk him into anything. She was kind of sure that once he got here and Celestine saw him he'd find it hard to leave right away. Or at least she'd hoped it would work out that way. She was also pretty sure that Marius wouldn't refuse something if it had anything to do with his Grandsons, especially one that he hadn't seen too much of in the past few years. She was at least glad that Celestine looked really happy to see Marius and she was happier hearing that he was going to stay. She wasn't so sure she could deal with Celestine and his mood if Marius left the same day that he got here. Or at least she assumed his mood would shift again. She turned slightly and stepped back into the courtyard before looking back over at them. "I'm sure you are probably a bit tired after traveling... there aren't too many places to sit but the fountain is usually the best choice." She said as she glanced back to the courtyard. She didn't want to leave Marius standing at the front doors the whole time so of course she invited him in further. Plus, she was aware that Hisako would have to go take care of a few things so that the island could be used.

Hisako did need to go prepare a few things ad had mostly been waiting to make sure that the newest guest was looked after before she thought about leaving. It wasn't going to be a problem or anything for Marius to use the one sister island, she just needed to make sure that the guards there were aware and were notified of who all was allowed to go on the island. Then of course she also needed to let the Elder know since she was pretty sure that Aamori had made no point of letting her know either.

LaRae just barely remembered to breathe after he had finally kissed her not once, but twice. Her cheeks were probably as red as they could be and she smiled softly when he pulled away. She started to open her eyes slowly, almost like she was reluctant to wake up from a good dream. She stared at him with her eyes full of love and nodded her head a little. She certainly liked the way that sounded and the way he put it made it sound so sweet. "...Yes." She smiled. "Of course." She answered and then went to press her lips to his for a moment. So long as he wanted her than she really didn't have a problem being his and she had him in return so she was happy. "...I love you too, Nanashi."

Marius glanced over to Aamori again and then nodded slightly to her when she said that the fountain was usually the best place to sit. He was pretty tired...considering that he had walked a good portion of the distance rather than flown since he didn't want to draw too much attention to himself. That was a good bit of what had taken him so long to get here... not to mention that he was just getting slower with his age. He wasn't too terribly old, but he was nearing his sixties, and his age was starting to get the better of him. He started to reach down to take the bag back from Celestine but just smiled when he wouldn't hand it over. He shook his head and patted Celestine's shoulder lightly before he started to move out closer to the court yard. "Well there are certainly some nice structures built around here." he commented as he admired the archways, having only just now really started to look around. He moved out onto the grass and glanced around for a few moments before he made his way over to the fountain and sank down on the edge with a heavy sigh, glad to be seated again no matter where it was.

Celestine pulled the bag slightly out of Marius' reach when he tried to take it back and shook his head. "I've got it." he said quietly. He was surprised that Marius had carried the thing all the way here. Even though it was only full of clothes it was kind of heavy after you held it for a little while. Once Marius got past him he scurried after him and followed him over to the fountain to sit down with him, setting the bag on the grass by the fountain. He would almost remind someone of a little ducking the way he paced right after him. The tip of his tail was waving happily behind him as he walked. Obviously it was going to take a little while to ruin his mood now. Even Yoichi might have a hard time of dampening it.

Kanone watched Marius head out to the courtyard and then Celestine tag along right behind him. He snickered and glanced over to Hisako, "And now you know why I said he was cute as a kid." he said quietly. He was pretty sure he'd told her about how Celestine was when he was younger, verses how he acted now. Celestine had always pretty much been everyone's favorite; he was just too cute for his own good. Even though Kanone was a little jealous of him sometimes he had to admit that given the choice of liking himself or Celestine better he'd have to pick Celestine just because he was so darn cute sometimes, so he couldn't really be all that upset.

Nanashi smiled warmly when LaRae agreed and kissed him back. Once she'd said that she loved him, too he nuzzled his head against hers again and smiled. "Then nothing else matters. Don't let him worry you." he said softly. He hugged her tightly and then lightly kissed her forehead, right on top of one of her stubby little horns that he seemed to think were so cute. "Don't let anything worry you, alright? It will be alright in the long run, I'm sure."

Aamori watched as Marius headed towards the fountain and then shook her head a little when she saw how Celestine had tagged along behind him. It was almost a little hard to believe that just a few minutes prior to Marius arriving they'd been practically eat each others throats over a little hair pulling and now... well... he was being so cute. It almost made you want to ask if he'd hit his head or something. She turned back to look at Hisako. "You have to tell Lady Levana about this too?" She asked, though she was sure she already knew the answer to that. She started to step back towards her and smiled slightly. "...Since you're going out ...can I talk you into going to Sanura's?" She asked. "She's got a coat that I've been meaning to pick up for Nanashi." She said with a sigh. She'd meant to pick that up a lot sooner but she just hadn't found the time and it was kind of convenient to ask Hisako to do is since she was going out anyway.

Hisako looked at Celestine as he followed after Marius and chuckled quietly as she glanced back to Kanone to hear his comment. "Yes. I believed you before but I guess now I've seen it with my own eyes." She paused. "It's... a little strange seeing him like that considering how he usually acts around people." She shifted her attention slightly when Aamori started talking to her and then nodded her head slightly after the first question. She did need to let the Elder know. After all, it'd be terrible for Marius to be here and Levana not even know about it. She listened to Aamori's request for her to go to Sanura's and nodded again. "I guess I can. I'll stop by on the way back." She said as she started to move back to the door to open it so that she could get on her way if no one else had anything else to say.

LaRae smiled after he hugged her and then shook her head a little when he kissed one of her stubby horns. She still didn't think there was anything cute about those silly stumps but he seemed to like them. She wanted tell him that not worrying about Renzo and related things was probably as hard as him not letting what others thought of him, effect him. But she didn't bother saying anything since she was almost certain that might ruin the mood a little and she liked the way things were at the moment. She nodded her head a little for now, at the very least willing to not let it worry her for the time being and she couldn't even be sure how things would be in the long run so she couldn't really say otherwise. She smiled a bit. "You're probably right." She said quietly.

Kanone chucked again when Hisako said that it was hard to believe considering how Celestine usually acted around people. "Yeah...I bet if you said anything about it he'd deny it completely." he said with a soft laugh. He glanced over to Aamori when she started talking and then smiled slightly. He just shook his head slightly and sighed, "You know that was one person you probably could have informed earlier, it's not like Cel's going to be talking to her any." he said with a soft laugh.

Marius glanced down to Celestine for a moment and chuckled softly before be glanced back to Aamori again. He smiled when he heard Levana's name mentioned and then realized that she apparently didn't know that he was here either. He smiled and shook his head with a soft laugh, "If it wouldn't be too much trouble, would you care to tell Ms. Levana that I said hello?" he called over to Hisako. He would have just dropped by himself, though he wasn't entirely sure he was allowed or that she even really remembered him. He had met all of the elders from every clan but the fire clan as their elder had sent a representative with the elder's authority when they met to sign the letter of passage that Kyran had been given. He had probably spoken to Levana more than anyone, though he didn't do much talking to anyone at all. He didn't even know if Levana would even remember him, but he thought he may as well send his regards. He certainly remembered her; she was very pleasant to look at.

Celestine looked over to Marius and tilted his head slightly when he asked Hisako to tell the Water clan's elder hello so familiarly. "You know her?" he asked curiously.

"Yes, we've met." he said simply, "Once." he said with a soft chuckle.

Nanashi just smiled warmly and leaned his head against hers again. "Of course." he said with a soft laugh, "Everything is always alright in the end... It works itself out, even if it seems bad." He nuzzled against her once more and then raised his head slightly. "...At any rate...I've had you cooped up in here for days... Do you want to at least go out to the courtyard for a little while?" he asked. "Of we can stay here...I don't really mind either way." he said softly. He knew that Kanone was still wanting to say hello to him and he hadn't really ventured out of the room at all since then, so he thought now was probably about as good a time as any if LaRae wanted to come.

Aamori watched as Hisako nodded in acknowledgment of Marius' request and then started out the door. She glanced over to Kanone once Hisako had left and stared at him for a moment. "It kind of slipped my mind." She said quietly. "It was far too late for me to let her know the night that Zale was sent. Then the following days were kind of busy, I just... forgot." She admitted. "It shouldn't be a problem though, Lady Levana can be easy going sometimes and I don't think she'll be upset hearing that another Elder is here so suddenly." She paused. "I think she might find it a little trivial to get upset over such a thing." She commented and then started back into the courtyard. She made her way back a bit closer to the fountain and smiled a bit. "I'm a little surprised you remember Lady Levana, or that you know her, honestly." She paused looking to Marius. "I mean.. you never mentioned knowing her those times we talked." She said as she sat herself down on the ground a couple feet from the fountain.

LaRae shook her head slightly after he said that he had her cooped up in here for days. She was aware that she could have left the room at any point that she wanted, she chose to stay in the room with him like she did. She smiled. "That's fine with me." She paused. "I'm just glad that you're feeling better and enough that you actually want to leave the room." She said and then smiled. She really was happy that he was already up and moving like he was. She wasn't really sure how long it took to recover from well... dying, but she wouldn't have been surprised to have him out a lot longer than he actually had been.

Kanone smiled slightly at Aamori and then shook his head slightly and shrugged. "Haha, you really have a one track mind." He said with a soft laugh as he started to follow her back over to the fountain. He looked up at Marius and smiled slightly before he glanced over to Aamori and took a seat beside her on the grass. "Yeah, when did you meet her? You pretty much...never go anywhere."

Marius chuckled softly seeing how surprised they were to hear that he knew her and remembered her. "Well, I don't really know her, per say... but I have spoken to her, and not too terribly long ago. I don't forget someone that quickly." he said with a soft laugh. "...All of the elders gathered before the festival, well all save Lady Akane from the fire clan, she sent a representative. So I have met them all, but Lady Levana did stick out a bit." he said with a soft chuckle, "She is pretty like you. And we did speak a bit; she was one of the few whom I actually spoke to." he explained. "Honestly, I would be surprised if she remembered me, I don't think I made that much of an impression. I just thought I would send her a hello."

Kanone grinned and snickered softly. "Sounds like gramps has a crush." He said playfully, mostly just joking about the way that he said that the elder was pretty.

Marius laughed softly and shook his head. "Can I not think someone is pretty without being attracted to them, Kanone? I believe I am a little too old to be developing crushes."

Celestine tilted his head slightly and half smiled before he shook his head a little. It did sound like Marius was a little fond of this Lady Levana, though Marius usually seemed pretty fond of anyone who was halfway decent so he didn't think that much of it. He was only usually grumpy around trouble making kids. "Well maybe she will come and say hello to you or something if she remembers you." he said simply.

Nanashi smiled slightly and shook his head as he started to release her and get to his feet again. "...I'm still a little tired out, but...well as comfortable as this bed is...I'm about to go stir crazy laying in it." he said with a slight smile. "...I think some fresh air might do me some good anyway, don't you?" He hand his hand out to her to help her up, though he knew she didn't really need it and then glanced toward the door. "Besides...didn't you say that Kanone has been waiting until I was up and moving to say hello?"

Aamori glanced to Kanone briefly when he sat down beside her and then looked back to Marius once he started talking. She hadn't even thought about the Elders gathering before the festival, so of course that meant that Marius had met Lady Levana. Now that she thought about it for a moment she was a little surprised that all of the Elders were able to get together long enough to accomplish anything. I mean, she couldn't imagine a room with them all in it and everyone coming out unscathed considering that not every clan got along. She smiled at Marius when he said that Lady Levana was pretty while completely ignoring that he'd said 'like you' after it. She looked over at Kanone when she heard what he said and chuckled quietly. She shook her head slightly. "Lady Levana, to my knowledge has never bothered with relationships." She paused. "She focused mostly on her job as an Elder and taking care of the people, everything else was... well.. not important." She told them. Levana really hadn't bothered with the whole dating thing, or being interested in guys when she found out she'd be the Elder. She thought at the time that it'd be a distraction and she preferred being single so that there was nothing to take away from her job. Even now she didn't really bother putting herself out there with guys, though that was mostly because she thought she was too old for that stuff now. "Lady Levana has a pretty good memory." She stated. "Though, I'm not sure if she'd take the time out of her day just to come say hello."

LaRae took his hand when he held it out and got to her feet. She smiled a little once she was standing and released his hand. She did think that some fresh air might be good for him and thankfully he didn't really have to go very far to get some. That hole in the roof of the building was actually kind of useful, at least in this instance. "Oh yeah.." She paused. "I guess Kanone is still waiting to see you." She kind of forgot that he was still waiting, though that was mostly because she hadn't seen Kanone a whole lot since he'd been here. She spent most of her time, if not every second of it in here with Nanashi while he was resting. "I wonder if he even remembers that he's waiting to see you."

Marius shook his head slightly and then looked at Aamori and chuckled softly, "No I don't suppose that she would. I'm sure she is a lot busier than I am, if she could find the time, or the want for that matter, to come and see me, I would be rather surprised." He shook his head and then sighed, "Though I suppose considering that this is her territory it would be more proper if I went to see her...if she wasn't busy, though I wouldn't really want to bother her with a social call when I have no real business here." He wouldn't mind seeing her again, but it wasn't really important so he didn't see why he should bother her. "And what is all of this talk about relationships? I barely know her. Stop trying to set me up with people, Kanone." he said with a laugh.

"Hey, hey I wasn't doing anything!" he responded with a laugh. He shook his head and then looked over to Aamori again and snickered. "But wouldn't that be cuuuute?" he said playfully.

Celestine shook his head and sighed before he glanced away. "Don't be ridiculous Kanone." he said simply. He didn't really even like the sound of Marius and whoever this woman was together. It was just weird to think of him with anyone other than their grandmother, and he was pretty sure Marius felt the same way. Otherwise he would have been out looking for someone who was a halfway decent cook.

Marius looked over to Celestine and sighed softly before he smiled and placed his hand lightly on Celestine's head, almost as if he'd picked up on a few thoughts the others hadn't heard. "Don't worry, Celestine. No woman alive will ever compare to your grandmother." he said with a soft chuckle. "Why even look?"

Nanashi chuckled softly and shook his head. "Well...if he doesn't, I suppose it would still be nice of me to say hello to him, wouldn't it?" he said as he started toward the door and pulled it open. He waited for LaRae to get into the hallway before he followed her out and closed the door behind him. He took a deep breath and sighed softly before he started to walk toward the court yard, though he paused when he got to one of the arches and looked over to the fountain. "...I thought you said just Kanone was here..." he said as he glanced back to LaRae again.

Aamori was fairly certain that Lady Levana would want to come and say hello, so long as she didn't have other things she needed to be doing. She wasn't even really sure that she was as busy of a person as she was always told but it was easier to believe what she was told than to be skeptical of it. She looked at Marius when he told Kanone to stop trying to set him up and then shook her head a little. From that she gathered that this wasn't the first time that comments had been made like this. She glanced over at Kanone when he responded about it being cute and she chuckled though she quieted down pretty quickly when she heard what Celestine said. She listened quietly to what Marius had said to Celestine and then turned her eyes back to Kanone. "...Maybe you should worry more about your own romantic life than your Grandfathers." She commented. After all, if Marius was interested in finding someone new to be with than he could do it on his own. He didn't really need his grandson pushing him into it and it didn't look like Celestine cared for the topic too much.

LaRae nodded slightly and then followed him towards the door when he started that way and slipped out into the hall since he'd held the door for her. She smiled when he headed towards the courtyard and then paused when he did. She tilted her head slightly when he said what he did. "...Kanone was the only one here the other day." She said and then moved so that she could look where he had. She was pretty surprised when she saw Marius sitting on the edge of the fountain. She smiled a little and glanced at Nanashi. "...I swear he wasn't here the other day. Kanone came here by himself from what I know."

Kanone glanced back to Celestine when he heard what he said and Marius's response. His smile faded slightly and he shook his head slightly. "...Cel, you're such a stick in the mud..." he said with a soft laugh before he looked over to Aamori. "Aww but I am!" he said as he threw an arm around her and pulled her over closer to him. He leaned his head against hers and chuckled playfully.

Marius smiled at Kanone and Aamori and chuckled softly as he messed with Celestine's hair a little. Since they were all poking at him, he grinned when he saw Kanone start on Aamori. "Now, now, Kanone, go find you own girl, don't go stealing Celestine's again." he said simply. He knew how Celestine could be sometimes, especially with Kanone. He had confided in him a few times when he was younger that he liked a girl and then later turned right around and said that he didn't care for her, only for him to find out later that Kanone was expressing interesting the same girl. Celestine hadn't said anything to him about Aamori, but from the way the two acted around one another he did have a feeling.

Celestine looked up at Marius suddenly and his face burned with color. "Marius! What are you talking about, she isn't my girl, she drives me nuts!" he said quickly...a bit too quickly if anyone was paying that much attention. He looked at Aamori for a moment and then glanced away again shyly. "...."

Kanone blinked and stared at Celestine for a moment. Well...that was a rather forceful reaction. He grinned again and pulled his arm back. "Aww that's so cute... Celestine has a crush." He said playfully, on'ty to get back a very stubborn 'I DO NOT' from Celestine. "You shouldn't be so shy! You're going to run her off when you say things like that."

"Shut UP KANONE!!"

"Well fine then, I'll keep her." he siad with a snicker as he wrapped his arm back around Aamori again, pretty sure that he was probably embarrasing ehr to death as well.

"Cut it out, Kanone!"

Marius chuckled softly and shook his head. Well...that certainly confirmed that suspicion. He glanced away from the younger ones again and looked back toward one of the arches. He smiled warmly when he saw Nanashi and LaRae hovering by the archway. "Hello, you two." he called to them, trying to interrupt the flow of the argument.

Nanashi looked at LaRae and laughed weakly. "...It seems like the entire family is coming over..." he said with a soft chuckle. His ears twitched when he heard Marius speak a little more loudly, though he was almost hard to hear over Kanone and Celestine's bickering. He smiled a bit and looked back again, raising his hand in greeting. "Good afternoon."

Aamori startled slightly when Kanone threw his arm around her and pulled her closer to him. She gave a nervous chuckle and tried to suppress the color from her face though that wound up being near impossible after hearing what Marius said. Her whole face seemed to be tinted red, of course the majority of the color focused in her cheeks. She stared over at Marius for a moment about ready to smile a little since that was one of the first times that she'd verbally been given any reason to think that Celestine might like her since she'd heard from Hisako what she had. She shifted her eyes a little when Celestine responded to what Marius said and then started to avert her eyes since he'd contradicted what Marius had said. '...I drive him ...nuts?' She kept her eyes averted even through Celestine's 'I do not' admittance to having a crush. She turned red again hearing Kanone and then startled slightly once more when he put his arm back around her. She was thoroughly embarrassed now and the thought of getting up and going to her room had crossed her mind.

LaRae smiled a little and thought briefly to correct him by saying that she thought those three made up the whole family but she decided against even saying a word. She glanced back out to the courtyard after Nanashi had said 'good afternoon' since hadn't really heard Marius over Celestine and Kanone's bickering. She knew that Marius had said something but unfortunately she hadn't heard it clearly, regardless she smiled at him and then started into the courtyard headed closer to the fountain.

Marius chuckled softly when he noticed LaRae finally starting forward and then glanced to Kanone again. "Alright, Kanone, that's enough. Don't embarrass Aamori too much." he said, though he then glanced over to Celestine, noticing how upset he was getting at the way Kanone was cuddling all over Aamori like that. He chuckled, unable to resist one more little poke to his nerves. "Though I do seem to recall when you were younger and liked a girl you would say the exact same things you're saying now when Kanone started acting this way." he said with a soft chuckle. He kind of picked up on the vibe that Aamori liked Celestine as well, so he did want to restore a bit of her hope since she seemed to take his denial to heart.

Celestine gave Marius a look when he said that and then shook his head. "...Just cut it out, all of you..." he said quietly, his face still a deep shade of red. He looked up when he saw LaRae and Nanashi coming out toward them and then sighed and leaned forward, trying to hide his face behind his hair a little, honestly wanted to strangle even Marius right now.

Kanone sighed and finally pulled his arm back slightly. He looked over to Aamori and smiled slightly before patting her back and then glanced over his shoulder since he thought he'd heard Nanashi's voice. He smiled when he saw him and LaRae coming and then started to get up. "Hey, you're up!" he said happily, "I was beginning to wonder if you'd been glued to the bed." he said playfully, though he knew that Nanashi had to have been feeling pretty poor for a while after hearing what had happened.

Nanashi started out into the courtyard after LaRae had started moving and smiled slightly when he saw the way Celestine was trying to hide his face. He laughed softly at Kanone and nodded. "Yes, I'm up." he said quietly, "...Though I think I may have picked a bad time to come outside..." he said as he glanced down to Aamori. "It's good to see you two again." he said as he glanced from Kanone to Marius.

Aamori only felt more embarrassed hearing Marius tell Kanone not to embarrass her too much. That just meant that it was all too obvious and that just added to her embarrassment. She glanced over at Marius when he started talking again. Once he was finished and Celestine told them to cut it out she looked away again. Now she was right back to wondering just how Celestine felt. He seemed to deny liking her easily enough but hearing things like what Marius said made her a little curious as to how he really felt. She sighed softly when Kanone pulled his arm back and his attention had shifted elsewhere. That was a relief at the very least, now maybe her cheeks would get a break. She'd heard Nanashi's voice so she lifted her eyes briefly to look. She smiled a little seeing that he was wearing the clothes that Sanura had made for him and they looked like they fit alright. After seeing him she kind of hoped that Hisako would hurry back so that she could give him the coat too.

LaRae glanced between them all as she was headed over and couldn't help noticing the way Celestine was trying to hide his face and then Aamori, her face was noticeably still a bit full of color. She was a little curious as to what had gone on but didn't bother asking about it. She didn't think she'd get a real good answer out of anyone anyway. She looked at Kanone once he noticed that Nanashi was up and smiled a little at his comment of him being glued to the bed. She looked back over to Marius. "So.. when did you get here, Marius?" She paused. "I was fairly certain that Kanone had come on his own..." She commented lastly.

Kanone laughed softly at what Nanashi said about picking a bad time to come outside. "Nah... We're just pestering Celestine and Aamori a bit." He said with a snicker when he glanced back to Celestine. He smiled and put his hand on Nanashi's shoulder lightly. "I'm glad to see you're feeling alright. LaRae wouldn't let me come in." He said, sticking his tongue out at her playfully. Of course he hadn't tried to come in since she'd said that Nanashi would rather he wait. "By the way, nice outfit." He said with a smile. He could definitely tell that these clothes were new, and they looked a lot better on him than the ones that he'd had on before, even if they were about the same.

Nanashi smiled at Kanone again and shook his head slightly. "...I think you've done a good job of embarrassing them..." he said quietly. He glanced down to his hand when it was placed on his shoulder. He raised his own hand and placed it over Kanone's for a moment and then lowered it again as he looked down to Aamori. He smiled at her when he caught her glancing at him. "Thank you for the clothes, their fit perfectly." he said quietly.

Marius smiled and nodded to Nanashi before he glanced over to LaRae. "I haven't been here that long...a half hour at best." he said simply, "Apparently these two thought that it would be a good idea to send me a very uninformative letter to get me here and then surprise me with a much appreciated vacation." he said with a soft laugh as he motioned to Kanone and Aamori in turn. He glanced over to Celestine and smiled slightly, "And to surprise this one, though I think by now he already wishes I would go home." he said with a soft chuckle, seeing the way that Celestine was still trying to hide. He didn't even offer to look up at his comment.

Aamori smiled a bit, rather happy hearing Nanashi say that the clothes fit perfectly. She was glad that they fit as well as they did. "You're welcome." She said and started to lower her eyes again. She thought for a moment and then glanced back to Nanashi. "Oh... the clothes, they should be made of a similar material to my wetsuit." She started. "They aren't a hundred percent water proof... but they won't retain water easily or as much as normal clothes would." She was kind of glad to have something else to preoccupy her mind with so suddenly, or else she'd probably still be sitting there embarrassed and trying to hide her face. Thankfully though after explaining about the clothes Sanura made the color in her face had faded considerably.

LaRae glanced over to Kanone for a moment when he said that they were just pestering Celestine and Aamori. Well, that much was kind of obvious. She looked over at Marius when he started answering her question. "I'm kind of glad to hear you haven't been here that long. If you'd come when Kanone had, I'd hate to think I was so unobservant that I didn't notice you." She said with a slight chuckle. She glanced between Kanone and Aamori when Marius motioned to them and then shook her head slightly. "I guess it doesn't really surprise me coming from those two." She commented after hearing the uninformative bit. Aamori had a tenancy to do with out thinking most of the time too, so once she got an idea and ran with it there was no going back. She glanced over at Celestine briefly when Marius brought surprising him up. She smiled a little and looked back at Marius. "It must have been a nice surprise to see you here." She paused. "I assume he was none the wiser to you coming?" She hoped at least that he hadn't known. Surprises were always nicer when they went as planned.

Hisako did hurry as best she could finishing up the things she set out to do and made sure that she stopped by Sanura's on her way back as well. Once she made it back to the training building she stepped inside and shut the door behind her. She had the coat draped over her arm and was headed back into the courtyard looking for Aamori and to let Marius know that it was alright to head to the island whenever he was ready. She came to a stop once she made it over to the group. She glanced at Aamori and held her arm up a little showing that she'd gone and gotten the coat like she wanted then glanced over at Marius. She waited to open her mouth so that she wasn't interrupting anyone. "It's all set, you can go to the island whenever you like."

Kanone smiled at Nanashi again and then dropped hi hand back to his side and glanced over to LaRae again while she was talking to Marius. He laughed quietly and then glanced away and shook his head slightly. He just snickered and then backed up a little to get out of Nanashi's way since he was talking to Aamori now.

Nanashi listened to what Aamori had to say about the material of the clothes and then smiled. "I see.... Thanks, that will really help a lot." he said brightly, obviously pleased with the find. "...I can't tolerate water that well...or at least now when it's cold..." he explained and then smiled again, "Really, thank you very much. I really appreciate the trouble." he assured her. He could probably stand there and thank her all day and it not be enough. He glanced toward Hisako when she returned, barely noticing what she had draped over her arm before he averted his eyes and lowered his head again. He hadn't really spend any time around Hisako and hadn't talked to her at all, so she still...intimidated him a little.

Marius laughed softly in answer to LaRae and then nodded his head slightly. "Yes, he nearly tackled me back out the door when he saw me." he said playfully. He glanced over to Celestine and laughed softly before giving the still slightly grumpy looking bow a one armed hug. "Are you going to sit there and pout like that all day?" he asked lightly.

Celestine blushed again when Marius said that he'd nearly tackled him back out the door. "I wasn't that excited." He said defensively as he crossed hsi arms and loosed away again. He sighed when he felt Marius' arm around him and heard him ask if he was going to pout like that all day. After a moment he sighed and gave in, leaning his head over against him a gain. "You're all a pain..." he said simply.

Marius chuckled softly. "Only because you're so easily flustered." he said playfully before he realized that Hisako was back. He smiled at her and nodded slightly. "Alright. Thank you very much." He said politely.

Aamori smiled when he thanked her again. "I thought it might." She said in response to him saying that it would help a lot. She made sure to ask Sanura for certain things when she asked her to make the clothes. Anything that might help him keep the clothes nicer and last longer. She also made sure to ask Sanura to add what ever she thought might help him which of course meant she had to mention a couple tidbits about Nanashi. It was kind of hard to make something for someone you knew absolutely nothing about after all. She shook her head a little when he thanked her again. "It wasn't any trouble, Nanashi." She paused. "Some new clothes was the least I could do to help." She said quietly. She'd walked into everything that was going on that night a little after the fact for lack of better words and there wasn't anything she could do to help. So after thinking about it, new clothes, well... she could help him that way. She shifted her attention to Hisako when she started to come back and then started to get to her feet quickly when she saw the coat draped over her arm. She rushed over to Hisako and smiled happily when she reached for the coat. "Thank you for going to get this for me." She set the coat over her own arm for a moment and felt the sleeve of the coat. "She really out did herself..." She commented quietly before turning so that she could take the coat and hand it to Nanashi. "Here. This is the last piece ...I hope you don't mind that it's red." She paused and then smiled a little. "This coat, it's special too."

Hisako nodded her head slightly when she heard Marius say thanks and then glanced to Aamori as soon as she saw her get up and come over. She smiled as Aamori took the coat from her and watched as she looked at the quality of the coat and then nodded again. "Yes, I was a little surprised after Sanura told me about the coat." She said as she looked down at it for a moment before Aamori started to take it over to Nanashi. "The coat is special, mostly because of what it's made out of." She paused. "The red side of the coat is fire resistant. Then if you reverse the coat, the black side is water resistant." She explained. "Sanura said she left the black side plain on the off chance you didn't care for the gold details on the red side." She said lastly.

LaRae chuckled quietly to herself when she heard Marius say that Celestine nearly tackled him back out the door. Just the thought of that made her want to laugh. She kind of wished that she'd been around to see that because she just couldn't fathom Celestine showing that much happy emotion. She shook her head lightly when Celestine said that he wasn't that excited. "There isn't anything wrong with being happy to see someone." She commented. She turned her head slightly after she had heard Hisako and then Marius thanking her. Then she couldn't help watching as Aamori rushed over to Hisako. Of course now she was seeing why Aamori had hurried, Hisako had a coat in her arms. She smiled and then watched as Aamori went to give the coat to Nanashi. She was glad to see that the woman had finished the coat after all.

Celestine glanced back to LaRae for a moment when she spoke to him and blushed slightly before he glanced away again. He almost wanted to go back up on the roof right about now. After Hisako spoke he looked up at her and sat away from Marius before his eyes wandered over to Nanashi again, though he had to glance at Aamori when she went to claim the coat from Aamori. He tilted his head slightly and then smiled a little when he heard her tell him that it was the last piece of his outfit and then when Hisako added about it. That...sounded like a really nice coat.

Nanashi smiled slightly when Aamori said that it wasn't any trouble, though he kept his eyes cast low to the ground. He hadn't even registered that what Hisako was carrying was a coat, let alone for him, so he was a little startled when Aamori came over to him and offered it to him. He raised his eyes up to her face briefly and then looked back down to to the coat. he couldn't really tell much about it the way that she was holding it so he reached out to take it, expecting it to be something fairly simple. "No...I like red." he said quietly. He was in the process of unfolding it so he could get a better look while Hisako was speaking, though once he got it held up his eyes widened and he all but froze as he stared at it, his breath even catching for a moment. He barely heard the remainder of what Hisako was saying, though he pieced it together in his mind after a few moments. He started to speak, but when he went to make a sound his mouth just fell open a little as his eyes traveled over the golden patterns, admiring them. In all honesty the coat itself seemed almost like too much trouble to put someone through on his behalf after they'd already made him and entire outfit, but this... this was more than he even knew how to accept. It was so nice and looked really... really expensive... far too nice for him. "...I..." he nearly choked on his own voice before he shook his head, "I...I can't accept this.. I-it's too much." he stammered once he remembered how to speak.

Kanone stood a little off to the side of Nanashi while he unfolded the coat, curious to see what it looked like since he'd been pretty impressed with the half finished version. He stared at the coat for a moment and then glanced to Nanashi for a moment, a little amused by his expression. "...Damn, Aamori, I think you threw him into shock." he said quietly with a soft chuckle just before Nanashi said that he couldn't accept the coat. "...Well if you don't want it I'll wear it." He said with a slight laugh, obviously only teasing.

Nanshi blinked and looked over to Kanone briefly, "No it's not that! It's just...I...s-someone will mess up if I wear it..." he said sheepishly, his ears falling back slightly, "It's nice, I really love it it's just.... she must have put so much work into this...I..." he glanced back down to the coat again and shook his head again. He really wanted to put it on and see how it looked, but he was almost afraid to. He shook his head again and looked back Aamori again, his eyes actually watering a little as he pulled the coat a little closer to his chest. "...I really don't know what to say..." he said quietly. Not to mention it was a bit awkward standing here with the others watching him when he was so choked up.

Kanone smiled again and leaned a little closer to Nanashi while holding up his hand as if trying to keep the others from lip reading, though they could probably still hear him. "...By now...just say thanks and put it on." he whispered, apparently eager to see how it looked actually being worn.

Nanashi continued to stand there for a second and then finally started to open his mouth to thank her, though before he even got the words out, or thought for that matter, his lips turned up in en exhilarated smile and he practically pounced at her, throwing both arms around her tightly while still holding the coat in his hand. It was probably easy to tell just how much he loved the thing from how tightly he was squeezing her. "Thank you!" he finally managed to get out. It was almost sad how excited a piece of clothing could make him, but this really was a lot more than what he was used to receiving.....and especially a lot more than he would ever expect from someone in the water clan. He was pretty sure that whoever made this must have known what clan he was from, so he was honestly surprised at the care that had gone into making it, and that just made it all the more special to him. He continued to hold onto Aamori tightly for minute before he opened his eyes again and then blinked when he realized what he'd done. He let her go and almost jumped back quickly. "Um...s-sorry." he stammered, as he glanced away again, his cheeks suddenly turning a nice shade of red. Well....that was....a lot embarrassing.

Marius sat quietly on the edge of the fountain and watched Nanashi's reaction to the coat with a smile. He chuckled softly when he had finally seemed to realize that he was still holding Aamori and let her go, looking rather flustered. "Well, Aamori, you seemed to have made someone's day." he said lightly.

Aamori was glad to hear that he liked red, she was going to feel a little weird if he didn't. She had just kind of assumed red was okay, well, considering the color of his scales and his hair. Besides, red was a bit nicer than white. It didn't get dirty quite as easily either. She smiled a little watching as Nanashi took the coat and got a look at it. She worried slightly when he didn't say anything right away and when he did finally say something, it wasn't quite what she had expected. She stood there for a moment and then smiled again slightly looking at him. "You have to accept it. It was made especially for you, after all." She paused. "It won't look very nice on anyone else." She said as she glanced toward Kanone briefly. She continued to stand there and wait for him to just put the darn thing on. She sighed softly when the next thing he said was being worried that someone would mess it up. She shook her head a little. Honestly... it was going to take a little effort to mess the coat up too badly and as long as they were here where Aamori could get to Sanura, she could always have it repaired. It wasn't like it was the end of the world if the coat got messed up anyway. There were ways to fix it if you knew how to sew. Sanura had put a lot of work into the coat, mostly because Aamori had expressed that the coat needed to protect him a little better than average clothes. Had Aamori not said anything than Sanura wouldn't have gone into their clans special fabrics to make the coat. I mean, just how many clans could say that they had both fire resistant and water resistant fabrics? She smiled again, a little happier hearing him that he didn't know what to say. That was better than saying he wasn't going to accept it and judging by his eyes she was almost certain he wasn't letting the coat go anytime soon. She startled a great deal when he suddenly pounced at her and tried to relax when all he was doing was hugging her, or well, squeezing. She smiled considerably after he said thank you. "Y-you're w-welcome." She practically squeaked out since he had been squeezing her so tightly. She had to admit it was a little weird getting hugged by him, considering that he was from the fire clan; Half of him anyway. She waited until he finally let her go and then smiled again when he apologized. "It's okay." She told him. That really wasn't the type of reaction that she had expected from him but at least she was well aware of how happy he was with the coat. She was really glad that he liked it. She glanced over towards Marius when she heard his comment and smiled a little. "Well... I'm glad I could make someones day." She said quietly.

Hisako startled a little herself when Nanashi pounced Aamori like he had. She relaxed a bit when she saw that all he was doing was hugging her. She really couldn't help her reaction, especially since the water and fire clans really didn't get along. She felt a lot better once Nanashi had let Aamori go all together. She was really impressed with the way the coat was made but she wasn't really sure that she could agree with Aamori and Sanura. Making such a nice coat, using their special fabrics and then giving it over to an opposing clan member. She'd never admit it but that didn't really sit very well with her.

LaRae laughed quietly seeing Nanashi's reaction to the coat. She was kind of glad to see that he'd shown so much emotion over getting something he liked. By the sounds of it the coat was going to be a lot of help to him too and the red with gold details was kind of a nice change from the white he usually wore.

Celestine couldn't help but smile a little as he watched Nanashi's reaction to the coat, glad to have someone else being the center of attention for a while. He was rather amused at how excited Nanashi was with the coat. Honestly that was about the happiest that he had ever seen Nanashi look at any given time. He'd seen him smile a dew times, but it usually looked half forced, and for once he seemed to just completely forget how timid he was (much like he had done earlier when Marius came in). He chuckled quietly since Nanashi had apparently embarrassed himself as well as made Aamori uncomfortable with the sudden hug, though he still found it kind of cute. Once he'd finally let her go and apologized he shook his head slightly. "Are you going to gawk at it all day or show us how it looks?" he asked lightly, a little curious himself.

Nanashi blushed a little when he heard Marius' comment and then glanced toward Celestine when he heard him speak. He smiled slightly and then glanced back down to the coat again before he unfolded it and then found the sleeves before he slowly slipped his arms into them. He tried to glance over his shoulder while he tried to get his wings through the openings in the back and then opened them for a second before folding them back down again. He glanced down at the coat again which he now realized fell a good few inches below his knees. Of course he had put it on with the red and gold side facing outward, though he doubted that he'd need any fire protection here of all places. He smiled slightly seeing how well it fit and that it actually covered all of his scars. Once he had it on he glanced up again for a moment and then glanced away shyly. For once in his life he actually wanted to find a mirror and see how he looked, though he wasn't going to go running off to do that right now. He could always sneak a peak later on.

Kanone smiled and looked him over once he'd finally put she coat on and then crossed his arms. He laughed softly and nodded to him, "It looks good on you." he assured him, though he laughed when that comment brought that red tint back to Nanashi's cheeks again. He shook his head and then glanced over to LaRae to see what she thought of it.

Marius smiled and shook his head seeing the way that Nanashi was responding to all of the attention. It was more than apparent that he was a little uncomfortable with all eyes on him. He sighed softly and finally started to stand up again, stretching his legs a bit once he made it to his feet. He looked back over to Nanashi and smiled again, chuckling softly. "Well, Nanashi...it's nice to see you smile like that. You should do it more often." he said lightly.

Nanashi just blushed again and glanced away again shyly. "Um...mhmm.." he muttered quietly. Quite honestly he wasn't given a reason to smile like that too often, though he had to admit that he had been smiling quite a lost since he let the others and got to travel with them.

Aamori looked back to Nanashi once he finally got around to unfolding the coat so that he could put it on. She wouldn't have been surprised to have him standing there for awhile just staring at it before he actually put it on. She nodded her head after hearing Kanone tell him that the coat looked good on him. She was happy that it looked like it fit pretty well too. Sanura really was talented considering she'd made everything based off of some old tattered clothes that were brought to her. She smiled a bit. "The red and gold is a nice change." She said with a nod. She thought briefly of asking Hisako to use her magic; She could form walls of water that when cold enough to turn icy became rather reflective. She glanced over just in time to catch Hisako walking away and then sighed softly guessing that idea was out of the question.

Hisako stuck around long enough to see Nanashi put the coat on. Once he'd gotten it on she started to excuse herself without bothering to say much of anything. She took a step back and then turned on her heel and started to head to her usual door to head downstairs. She wasn't mad or anything like that, she just didn't want to interrupt just to say that she was going to check on Yoichi. She'd left him down there for hours and she was a little surprised to have not seen him yet. She thought he might have come up for lunch or something. She also didn't say anything partly because she didn't want to run Celestine back onto the roof by saying she was checking on Yoichi. She didn't bother stopping at all and slipped downstairs as soon as she reached the door.

LaRae smiled after Nanashi had finally gotten the coat on and she'd looked him over. It really was nice to see him, cleaned up, for a lack of better words. She was also glad that he seemed really happy with all the new clothes that he'd been given. "You look really good, Nanashi." She told him. There was more that she would have thought of saying, like that she thought he looked handsome; But she didn't really want to say anything else that could embarrass him anymore than he already was. Besides, she could always tell him how nice he looked when he wasn't surrounded by other people. "You know... your belt even matches your new coat." She pointed out.
