Nanashi glanced up to Kyran again when he straightened up and smiled at him, telling him that he would be fine. He sighed when he hunched over again and then shook his head and moved his hand to Kyran's shoulder. "...I am, anyway..." he said quietly when he told him that he didn't need to apologize. He thought he did, big time. He couldn't help but glance down to Kyran's midsection again and then sighed, "...You should...probably go sit down or someth-ING!" he yelped as he jerked away from whatever touched his cheek. He shivered and then glanced over to Aamori again as he raised his hand to his cheek to rub it. "...S-sorry....that was cold..." he said quietly. She had managed to clean off most of the blood, but he'd just gotten the rest himself while trying to warm his cheek back up. He blinked when he realized what she'd been doing and then sighed softly. "...Um...th-thank you..."

Hikari watched Kyran and sighed softly when he hunched back over. She knew he was trying to play it off that he wasn't really hurt, but he was failing miserably. She was a little concerned about him, but that still didn't override how pissed off she was at the moment. She couldn't help feeling a little protective of Nanashi. After all, he was smaller than Kyran and as far as she she knew physically weaker than all of them since he was half human, plus he was screaming like a frightened little kid while Kyran was after him. She didn't say anything while Nanashi tried to make up for nailing Kyran in the gut, though part of her was almost tempted to say he deserved it. He certainly got what he was asking for at any rate. Finally, after Aamori had caused Nanashi to flinch away again she smiled weakly and shook her head. She placed her hand on Aamori's shoulder briefly and then stepped around her to stand beside Kyran, "Come on, take a seat," she said finally as she gave his free arm a little tug. She was a little surprised that Nanashi had taken that so well after the fact. He didn't even seem to be angry at Kyran at all, he was just worried that he'd hurt him. In all honesty, she'd expected him to make a run for it as soon as he got an open break.

Celestine remained where he was until he saw Aamori reach for Nanashi's bloody cheek to clean it, he assumed. He sighed heavily and shook his head before he moved closer after she was done. She never seemed to learn. Well, he at least wanted to be close enough to stop her if she got into one of her scrubbing frenzies. He came to a stop close beside her and looked over to her quietly before glancing down to her hands. If she started he was just going to grab her hand and drag her over to the fountain or something.

Kyran looked at Nanashi when he moved his hand to his shoulder. He sighed softly when he said 'I am'. If Nanashi was going to be anything he thought it should have been angry, or at the very least upset with him. He started to nod his head a little when Nanashi said that he should probably sit down or something. He stared for a moment since Nanashi had yelped at what Aamori did. He looked down at Hikari when she spoke then smiled weakly before she gave his arm a tug. He really didn't want to move very much right now so as much as he knew he should sit down he really didn't want to. He sighed quietly and took a couple steps away from where he'd been so that he could sit against one of the spaces between the arches. He put his back to the stone and then winced while he slid down until he was sitting down again.

Aamori immediately put her hand behind her and balled up her fist so that she couldn't see the blood that was on it. She had at least remembered that after she cleaned blood away like that it was usually left on her hands and she knew she didn't want to look at it. Though, knowing it was there wasn't helping very much either. She looked at Nanashi when he apologized and shook her head a little. "It's okay, I know it's cold." She said with a small smile. "You're welcome." She said with a nod. Of course after that her mind was right back on her hand and she was doing her best to keep it behind her and not look at it. She glanced over to Celestine when she noticed that he'd come over. She finally gave in and watched to see just how badly her hand was coated. After all.. she could get lucky and not have any still be on her hand, right? She slipped her hand around to her side and opened her hand a little so that she could look down at it. Her eyes widened slightly when she saw that there was indeed still blood on it and she immediately crouched down and began rubbing her palm against the grass to try and get it off.

Nanashi tried to smile back at Aamori when she smiled at him, though his attention shifted over to Kyran when he started moving. He sighed softly as he watched him go take a seat and then glanced back to Aamori again when she started crouch down. He guess she was probably going to wipe her hand on the grass, though he didn't think anything of it really. After all, there wasn't much else around to wipe it on. He walked over to Kyran again and sat down on his knees beside him while looking him over with that same concerned expression. "...Are you sure you're alright?" he asked softly, that almost child-like concern. This was another of those situations that he didn't really know what to do with. He still felt bad for causing him pain. He had one of those urged to hug him, but he knew that would only end in Kyran looking at him like he was a nut.

Hikari followed Kyran over to the wall and watched him set down with a soft sigh. She was waiting for a good time to tear into him over his recklessness, but Nanashi wasn't really giving her a good opportunity since he wouldn't clear the area. She shook her head and finally just sat down on the other side of him while watching Nanashi worry over him. She half smiled and shook her head again as she leaned her shoulder against the wall beside Kyran and crossed her arms. It was kind of cute the way Nanashi was acting, even if she thought he was strange for it.

Celestine didn't say a word as Aamori looked down to check her hand, though as soon as he saw the blood there he sighed, already knowing what came next. He watched her rub her hand on the grass for a few seconds and then reached down to grab her wrist and tried to pull her up. "Come here," he said an an almost stern tone in case she was resisting. He nodded his head toward the fountain, hoping she'd get the idea without him having to drag her over there and wash her hand for her.

Kyran sunk down a little where he was sitting so that he wasn't sitting up so straight. He looked over at Nanashi when he started to come over near him and then watched as he sat down on his knees beside him. He shook his head when he saw the way that Nanashi was looking at him and the question that followed. "Yes Nanashi, I'm alright. I assure you, now... can you stop looking at me like that?" He was a little surprised at how concerned Nanashi was over him. Even after being chased around with two sharp blades he still managed to worry more over someone other than himself. He glanced over to Hikari for a moment. He had to say that he was a little glad that Nanashi was over here. He was almost positive that she was going to lay into him about what he'd done to Nanashi and he assumed that she was refraining from saying anything to him since Nanashi was right here. For time being it looked like he was saved from her wrath.

Aamori continued to rub her hand on the grass at least until Celestine had taken hold of her wrist. She was only focused on getting her hand clean so she barely even heard Celestine so she didn't budge much at all. She pulled back a little wanting her hand back so that she could continue to rub it on the grass, clearly not getting anything that he was trying to get her to do. Once she didn't think she was getting her hand back she lifted her other one and immediately started trying to rub her hands together.

Nanashi blinked and then tilted his head to the side a little when Kyran asked him to stop looking at him 'like that.' "...Like...what?" he asked quietly, looking a little uncomfortable. He sighed and lowered his eyes again since he wasn't too sure what Kyran wanted him to stop looking at him like. "...Um...sorry," he said quietly. He glanced up again to look at Hikari and then sighed softly. He could tell that she was still kind of angry so he offered her a weak smile, "Um...Hikari...you're not going to yell at him as soon as I go away, are you?"

Hikari just smiled back to Nanashi and shook her head. "Oh, don't worry, I'm not going to yell at him," she assured him, though there was a slight edge in her voice. That didn't mean that he wasn't getting a firm talking to. Nanashi was a sweet boy but a little quick to forgive. She was going to make damn sure that Kyran didn't pull anything like that on him again. She blinked and looked past Nanashi when she heard Celestine and saw what Aamori was doing. She raised an eyebrow and then sat up and started in that direction, though by the time she'd stood up and taken a couple of steps Celestine had already started dragging her away. She just stopped and stood there looking a little confused. "...???"

Celestine stared at Aamori for a moment and then growled and grabbed her other wrist and pulled her hands apart so she would stop rubbing them. "Would you knock it off!?" he snapped as he pulled her up to her feet forcefully, "Stand up and walk, stop scrubbing your hands raw! Vengeful gods, if you do this ever single time you get bloody I'm going to start slapping you." He jerked her forward and literally pulled her other to the fountain before he shoved both of her hands under the stream of water and gave them one quick swipe with his own, not that there was too much blood left to begin with. "There..."

Kyran shook his head slightly. "Just stop looking at me with such concern." He stated. "It isn't the end of the world and I'll heal just fine, I'm just really sore at the moment." He tried to assure him. He glanced over to Hikari after he heard the question that Nanashi had posed to her. He gave a heavy sigh hearing her response to what he had asked. He had kind of wished that since Nanashi seemed to be alright with him for now that Hikari might not feel the need to chew him out. But that was probably wishing for too much. He glanced back over to Nanashi and smiled weakly. "She wouldn't yell, that would draw too much attention to herself." He paused. "She'll just chew me out in a not so nice tone once you leave and aren't in ear shot." He told him and then tried to laugh quietly. Though his laughing was rather short lived since the action itself hurt a little. He was just barely paying any attention to what else was going on so once Hikari had stood up he looked up at her wondering what was going on with Aamori and Celestine. "...What's going on?" He wasn't exactly in the shape to get up and go find out for himself so he was hoping she'd be able to find and relay it him.

Aamori stared over at her one hand once Celestine had pulled her hands apart. She barely comprehended anything that he said to her but her ears fell back slightly just by the tone that he used. She didn't fight back when he forced her to get to her feet, though she wasn't much help there either. She really just wanted to get the blood off of her hands and he was currently making that rather difficult. She startled slightly when she felt the water on her hands and she just stared at her hands for a moment after Celestine swept his over them. Now that her hands were clean she had started to come around. She pulled her hands closer to her and sighed quietly already knowing that she'd gone into a fit and had been scrubbing her hands. She glanced over at Celestine very briefly and then averted her eyes. "...Sorry." She mumbled, since he'd obviously had to stop her and clean her hands for her.

Nanashi listened to Hikari's response and then what Kyran said afterward and smiled weakly at him as his ears fell back a little. "...I'm sorry..." he said quietly, "I'm a pain..." He knew that whole incident would have been avoided if he had just done as he was asked in the first place and took a few swings at Aamori...or him, either way. He blinked and looked up to Hikari when she got up and walked away and then looked back to her since she seemed to be a little preoccupied. He heard Celestine snapping at Aamori and something about blood, but he had no idea what in the world they were talking about. "Huh?"

Hikari glanced back over her shoulder at Kyran for a moment and then shrugged, still looking a little bemused. "I...have no idea..." she just watched while Celestine was cleaning off Aamori's hands and then shook her head, "I...think Aamori was scrubbing her hands raw over something...maybe..." she said a little unsurely.

Nanashi blinked and then raised his hand to the cheek that Kyran had cut open and groaned softly, now knowing what the blood comment was about. He just closed his eyes and sighed as he dropped his hand to his lap again.

"Celestine just dragged her over to the fountain and wiped her hands down," she said with a shrug. Finally she started to move forward, "Hey, is everything alright?" she asked as she looked at Aamori, and then to Celestine.

Celestine sighed softly as he slung the water off of his hands and wiped them down on his shirt. "...Whatever..." he said quietly, "That's starting to get pretty annoying, you know... if you're going to keep doing that, then stop intentionally touching blood." He glanced up when he heard Hikari and then just sighed and gave her a shrug in response. "Ask her," he said simply. It was Aamori's phobia, he wasn't going to go around telling everyone, though he had a feeling it was one they were all going to want to know sooner or later.

Kyran shook his head slightly and looked over at Nanashi. "It wasn't your doing." He paused. "I shouldn't have gone as far as I did with you, so if she's going to chew me out... I probably deserve it." He admitted. "Although... I'd love to avoid that at all costs." He said with a slight smile. He looked over to Hikari when she was telling him what she thought was going on. If Aamori was scrubbing her hands raw he was curious as to why. He continued to look at her while she continued to tell him about Celestine dragging her to the fountain. He tilted his head slightly and then watched as she started over that way. Right now he was hating that he couldn't just get up and follow her without being in pain. This just flat out sucked.

Aamori started to look back over at Celestine once he started to say that it was starting to get annoying. She couldn't help her phobia or the reaction she had to seeing the blood on her. She also couldn't help that she didn't always think before she went to touch blood. The past few times that she had done it, it was to clean the blood off of someone and that was usually done without thinking at all because she was trying to be nice. She sighed quietly. "...I can't help it ...why don't you just ignore it ...let me scrub my hands until I get it off ...then it won't annoy you when you wind up helping me." She muttered quietly. She shifted her glance briefly when Hikari came closer and asked if everything was alright. She shook her head lightly after Celestine had said 'ask her'. She looked back over to Hikari, a little embarrassed. "...I developed a phobia." She paused. "...Blood on me ...it freaks me out ...a bit." She admitted as quietly as possible.

Nanashi sighed softly and then offered Kyran another weak smile after Hikari had finished with her explanations, "Well...I guess I'll just get comfortable for a while...and hope she forgets," he said quietly. "I think the staff said enough on the matter." He sighed again and then glanced back to Hikari when she started walking off and then back to Kyran, seeing the confused look on his face. "...She had my blood on her hands," he said quietly, "That's probably what she was scrubbing at. I guess she doesn't really like blood." He had gathered that just from what he'd heard and what he already knew. It didn't take very much most of the time for him to add two and two together and come out with four.

Celestine huffed softly at Aamori's response and looked over at her, "If you just scrubbed it off, I would, but you don't stop," he hissed back under his breath. He sighed when she answered Hikari and then shook his head. "A bit?" he retorted before he just shook his head and sat down on the edge of the fountain.

Hikari stepped a little closer as she listened to Aamori, barely even able to hear her as she spoke. She glanced at Celestine when she heard his retort and shook her head, "Oh hush, Celestine," she said tiredly. She was a bit ready to gripe at anyone right now. It was way too early for all of this drama in her book. She looked back to Aamori and tilted her head slightly, "...When did this happen? I never notice you acting this way before..." she said softly. Aamori had gotten a little bloody around her before in Radha and she hadn't freaked out like this, so he guessed that it must have been something more recent.

Kyran laughed softly after hearing Nanashi and gave a slight nod of his head. "I hope she forgets too." He agreed. The staff had said plenty in his opinion as well and it was going to leave a nasty bruise so it wasn't like he was going to forget what he'd done right away. He looked at Nanashi when he said that Aamori had her blood on his hands. He then glanced back towards the others as Nanashi continued. "...I guess that does kind of make sense." He said as he looked back to Nanashi. He was a little curious as to if that was something new. He hadn't remembered Aamori doing anything like that before, well, that he knew of. "...Has she ever done that before?" He paused. "The scrubbing thing?" He asked wondering if maybe Nanashi had seen her do it before.

Aamori's ears fell back after hearing Celestine. She was kind of glad that Hikari had come over and told him to hush. Had she not she knew he'd just have more not so nice comments to make. She glanced over at Hikari once she had asked when this happened. She stared at her for a moment and then averted her eyes. "...Um..." She thought about it for a moment. She wanted to answer her but she didn't want to go telling her what had actually happened. She had just wanted forget all about that and it kept being brought up every so often. "...I ...don't ...remember." She mumbled quietly while hoping that would suffice. She tried her best to keep her face from showing that she was lying and knew exactly when it happened. Though the distressed look creeping onto her face wasn't working in her favor. Her and Celestine were the only ones who actually knew what had happened, well, Kanone knew too but she didn't want to go spreading around that she and Celestine had killed human hunters in Radha. She didn't think either of them had meant to kill those humans but it still happened and she preferred to try and forget about it.

Nanashi shook his head slightly when Kyran asked him if she had ever done that before. "I don't really know," he said quietly, "Celestine would probably know better than I would, she doesn't spend a lot of time around me. I was just guessing, that may not even be the problem." He glanced back over his shoulder again and then looked back to Kyran, "I just heard Celestine mention blood, that was all I could assume." Aft er a moment he shifted positions and got off of his knees so he could stretch his legs out and then turned around to lean against the wall so that he was sitting with his back toward Kyran's side.

Celestine stared at Hikari when she told him to hush, but he could tell by her tone that id he didn't he was going to get an ear full, so he shut his mouth. When Aamori started to answer Hikari's question he sighed softly and then looked away, absently crossing his arms over his chest while he stared at the grass. He knew very well that Aamori was lying, and he could tell by the way that she spoke that she was doing a poor job of it. Nosy as Hikari was he expected there to be about 500 questions following.

Hikari stared at Aamori for a moment and then sighed softly and reached out to place her hand on her shoulders, "Aamori..." she sighed as she raised her other hand to place on Aamori's cheek. "...What is it? You must remember or you wouldn't be making that face," she said gently. "It's alright...you can tell me," she coaxed gently, "If you want..." she added quietly. She could tell already by the look on Aamori's face that whatever it was wasn't all that pleasant to think about, though that only made her all the more curious.

Kyran leaned his head back against the stone and sighed quietly. "...Yeah. She doesn't spend a lot of time around anyone but Celestine." He commented. "...With as much as they fight, that still surprises me." He added quietly. He looked at Nanashi when he mentioned having heard Celestine mention blood. "That's a reasonable conclusion to come to." He paused. "I guess we will know for sure when Hikari comes back over."

Aamori stared at Hikari after she'd put her hand to her cheek. She was uncomfortable and didn't want to say anything. She hadn't even realized that there was anything really off about her face so she was a little surprised when Hikari brought it up. She averted her eyes again and stood there quietly for a moment before she shook her head. "...It's nothing." She insisted. "It just caused me to have a silly phobia... that happens to annoy a certain someone." She added quickly. Out of everyone in the group that she could talk to about the whole thing she wouldn't mind talking to Hikari, especially since she was a little uncomfortable with bringing it up to Celestine. She just didn't want to talk about it; at least not right now. They had more important things to be worrying about than what causes her to go into a frenzy when she ends up with blood on her. They still had a relic to go find and that obviously should take priority, in her eyes anyway.

Nanashi smiled slightly and chuckled softly, "...They like each other...at least a little. Celestine' just going out of his way to pretend he doesn't care..." he said quietly, sounding thoughtful, "...Kanone likes Aamori, too... From the way Marius was teasing it sounds like those two keep eying the same girl and Celestine always comes up disliking her later." He had already gathered just from listening to Marius the kind of relationship that Kanone and Celestine had. He was pretty sure either one of them would give up something that they wanted if it would make the other happy, even though those two fought constantly as well.

Hikari looked at Aamori and sighed softly before she rolled her eyes a little and glanced to Celestine, "Well, a certain someone can just get over it," she said simply. She blinked when she sat nearly the same expression that Aamori had on her face reflected on Celestine, though his eyes were glues to the grass and he was balling his hands into fists in his lap. Apparently he knew what Aamori was thinking and he didn't want to talk about it any more than she did. Finally she just nodded and moved her hand down to Aamori's shoulder. "Alright...But if you ever do want to talk, you know where to find me," she said with a slight smile.

Kyran looked at Nanashi after he had said that Aamori and Celestine liked each other. He'd guessed that Aamori liked Celestine but with the way Celestine acted and all he wasn't really sure that he even liked her back. He had gathered that Kanone had liked Aamori. He was pretty sure that both he and Hikari had come to that conclusion the other day. He sighed quietly hearing the last bit of what Nanashi had said. Since he hadn't been around here when Marius was visiting he was unaware of any of the teasing that Nanashi spoke of. "If both of them do like her... I don't think I'm going to look forward to the time when either pair of them decide they want to have a serious relationship."

Aamori nodded a little after the last thing that Hikari had said. She did know where to find her. She was usually attached to Kyran. It really hadn't been that long since she got to talk to Kanone about it so she figured sooner or later she'd want to talk about it again. She was at least glad to know that Hikari would listen when she was ready. She glanced to Hikari briefly and tried to smile a little. "...Yes, thank you." She said quietly. "...And ...thanks for not ...pushing the topic." She added and then looked away. "I think.. I'm going to go to my room." She paused. "After Kyran is feeling a little better... and the others are up, we can probably go."

Nanashi sighed softly as he listened to Kyran and then shrugged slightly, "I suppose not... but if what Marius was hinting at is true...I'd say the minute Kanone announces that he was interested in that, Celestine wouldn't be interested anymore... though...judging from what I've seen of him he would probably be about ten times more irritable than normal." he speculated quietly. He glanced over to Aamori and Hikari for a moment and then past them to Celestine. He tilted his head slightly at the expression on Celestine's face and then looked back to Aamori, though she looked like she might have been looking like that a few moments earlier. How he was wondering what in the world was going on over there.

Hikari smiled weakly and nodded when Aamori thanked her for not pushing the topic, "As much as my curiosity would like me to..." she said with a soft laugh. She nodded when Aamori told her that she was going to her room. "Alright. We'll be getting ready soon...ish...I hope." she said with a slight smile, "I suppose someone should be getting the others up soon." She pulled her hand away from Aamori's shoulder and gave her a nod, "Well, go on. I'll let you know when we're ready if you're not out by then," she assured her with a smile.

Kyran listened to Nanashi and then nodded his head a little. "Yeah, I thought pretty much the same thing." He paused. "I don't think any of us can handle Celestine if he's any more irritable than he usually is." He shook his head lightly. "I don't even want to see him get to that point." He said quietly. "If it went the other way... I'd guess Kanone would get over it. I don't think things really get to him that badly." Or at least it didn't look like they did. Especially considering how soon his mood started to improve after his mother had passed.

Aamori was happy that Hikari wasn't going to pester her for an answer just to feed her curiosity. She gave a slight nod when Hikari said that someone should be getting the others up. They couldn't very well just leave them until they decided to wake up. They could be here for hours if they did that. She gave another nod when Hikari told her to go on. She stood there for a moment and then started for her room. She just wanted to get somewhere out of the open for a few minutes. She was still a little embarrassed that she'd tried to scrub the blood off of her hands and it resulted in Celestine having to help her and it had drawn attention to her. She wanted to avoid any other questions especially since Hikari was probably going to have to fill Nanashi and Kyran in if they'd seen. Once she reached her room she slipped inside, leaving the door partially open since Hikari said she'd let her know when they were ready if she hadn't come out yet. She sighed quietly and went to sit down on her bed only to fall back so that she was laying on the bed with her legs off the side.

Nanashi nodded a little in agreement, though he added a quiet "Mhmm..." since Kyran couldn't see him. He did agree that if it went the other way that Kanone would get over it pretty quickly. He didn't want to see Celestine and more moody than he already had been lately. He watched silently as Aamori started back to her room and then sighed again before he turned his head back in Kyran's general direction again, "Well...I guess we'll know for sure what's wrong with Aamori pretty soon." he said simply, "...Are you feeling any better?" he asked softly. He hoped that he wasn't quite as sore now at least if nothing else.

Hikari sighed softly as she watched Aamori go and then looked back to Celestine again. "Celestine...would you mind getting Kanone up? We need to start getting ready," she said simply before she turned to walk back over to Kyran and Nanashi. She sighed again as she approached them, "Well...apparently Aamori has a phobia of blood touching her and she...goes a little overboard with scrubbing it off," she explained simply since she had a feeling Kyran or Nanashi was going to ask, "She said she doesn't remember when it started, which I took as code for 'I don't want to talk about it' so I didn't press. Anyway... Naanshi, can you go wake LaRae up, please? We should start getting ready to go."

Nanashi looked up when Hikari came back and started to speak, unsurprised by her answer to what was going on. He sighed softly when she asked him to go wake up LaRae. He stood up slowly and then nodded as he walked past her, though he did glanced back to Kyran and give him an apologetic look since he was...kind of leaving him along to the wrath of Hikari.

Celestine sighed when Hikari asked him to go wake Kanone and just stood up without saying a word and started off toward the archway that was closest to the door to that bedroom. He wasn't too thrilled with the job of rolling Kanone out of bed...mostly because it was so fricking hard, but he guessed he could have him out of there in about ten minutes or so.

Kyran glanced over at Nanashi when he said that they'd know for sure what was wrong with Aamori soon. "I'm okay Nanashi, don't worry about me." He said and gave him a smile. He wasn't entirely sure he was feeling any better. He was still going to be sore, he knew that much but since he hadn't really budged an inch he wasn't sure if the pain had really subsided. He'd know well enough once he stood up though. He looked to Hikari once she had come back and listened to her answer the question before it was even asked. "...Well Nanashi, you were right on the nose with that one." He commented since Hikari had just told them pretty much everything that Nanashi had already said. "I think I'm a little curious as to when it happened." He admitted. He assumed it must have been sometime during their traveling so he wondered when it happened and what caused it. He watched when Nanashi got up and walked past Hikari. When he gave him that apologetic look he just tried his best to smile like it was going to be okay. He sighed heavily and then glanced back up to Hikari. "...Does this mean you get the pleasure of waking Nero?" He asked hoping to detour anything that she had to say to him about earlier.

LaRae was still asleep. She hadn't moved too much since Nanashi had left earlier. She was still half way on his side of the bed, snuggled into part of his pillow and curled up in the blanket. She would have woken up earlier when Nanashi had but she was just too comfortable and didn't want to get out of the bed yet.

Hiakri waited until Nanashi was a good bit away before she started to open her mouth, though Kyran beat her to saying anything. She stood there and crossed her arms while looking down at him with a rather irritated expression on her face. She really wanted to chew him out and it was more than obvious. "Fine," she said shortly as she dropped her arms back to her sides, "I hope you didn't get yourself hurt too badly," she added before she started under the arch around the hall so that she could get to Nero's room. She huffed irritably and then raised her fist to knock on the door. "Nero, get up." she called through the door, just hoping the sound carried through enough to be heard on the other side.

Nanashi returned Kyran's smile weakly before he continued on to the room that he and LaRae were sharing. He took a deep breath and wiped his face off with his hands again before he opened the door and stepped inside. He smiled when he saw her still snuggled into the bed where he had left her and then shook his head as he moved closer. He reached down and placed his hand on her shoulder before giving her a gently shake. "LaRae, time to get up," he said softly, "We'll be leaving soon so get ready, okay?"

It didn't take Celestine long to make it into the bedroom and find Kanone sprawled out all over the bed his his face burrowed into one of the pillows. He pinned his ears back when he heard the sound of Kanone snoring and then shook his head before he walked over to the bed and shoved on Kanone's shoulder. "Kanone... get up," he said flatly. He only received a loud grunt from Kanone before he turned his face down into the pillow and continued to sleep. Celestine growled and grabbed the pillow out from under him and smacked him int he head with it. "Get UP!" he snapped again, though Kanone just groaned again and curled up in a ball and told him to go away once before he started snoring again. He stared at him with an irritable expression and huffed. "That's in..." He muttered before he climbed up in the bed and stepped over him so that he was on the other side and then sat down, facing him. He braced his hands behind him and then placed one foot against Kanone's shoulder blades and the other on his butt and shoved him him out in the floor with one mighty push.

Kanone hit the floor with a loud thud and then groaned, "Ooooow! What the hell was that for!?" he whined as he sat up, rubbing his head. "Ahh...what'd I hit? Damn it, that hurt..." He looked up to the bed and then glared at Celestine, "What's the big idea!?"
"I told you to get up. Twice," he responded simply as he slipped off of the bed. "Listen next time. We're getting ready to leave, get up and get your stuff."
"...What? Where're we going?"
"Do you remember anything that was talked about yesterday?"
"...oh...man I thought we weren't leaving until like...noon or somethin'...geez, come back then..."
"It is noon, you idiot!"

Kyran just sat there and stared at Hikari waiting to see if she was going to say anything. He gave a sigh of relief once she walked away, glad that she had someone to wake up. Nero just saved his rear and he didn't even know it. He continued to sit there for a few moments after Hikari had left before he decided he needed to get up. He sat up a little straighter and then started to push himself up using the stone. He groaned quietly until he was on his feet and then shook his head. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to let Nanashi use Aamori's staff. That darn thing just made everything hurt worse. He didn't even want to see what state his midsection was in. He knew it was bruised and that was enough for him. He looked over at his blades that were still laying on the ground and then started to move over to them. He was at least happy that walking wasn't that bad. It seemed his midsection was really only aching when he moved it or bent down. When he reached his blades he stared down at them for a moment and then finally took a deep breath and held it in while he knelt down quickly to grab them both and slip them into his holster. Once he was standing up straight again he let out his breath and made an uncomfortable looking face.

LaRae snuggled into the bed a little more once Nanashi had shaken her shoulder. Her ears twitched slightly and she started to crack her eyes open. She continued to lay there for a few moments before she started to sit up and rub her eyes gently. She finally glanced over at Nanashi and smiled a little. "...We're leaving soon?" She paused. "What time is it? Did you do that training already?" She asked quietly. She wasn't quite sure how long she had been asleep and she'd expected to be awake when Nanashi went to start the training and since she was just now being woken up she was wondering what time it was.

Nero didn't respond one bit when Hikari knocked at the door or when she called through the door. He was still asleep of course. He'd turned the room into the darkest, most comfortable place for him. He'd tacked a blanket up over the window to block out the sun and it'd done a really good job of keeping all of the light out of the room. To add to that he was burrowed under the blanket with a pillow pressed over his head just in case that blanket didn't stay up.

Nanashi smiled slightly at LaRae and then sighed when she asked about the training. "Yes, they're done with me... and I guess it's about noon or a little before," he answered her question. He smiled weakly and then sighed heavily, "...I guess the training didn't go all that well," he said since he assumed that she would want to know, "I think I nearly broke Kyran." He shook his head and then sighed and sat down on the edge of the bed and leaned his head against her lightly. He still couldn't help but worry about Kyran, after all he had hurt Kyran a lot more than Kyran had hurt him and Kyran's injury wasn't so easily healed as his had been. He just hoped that it didn't cause problems later. He didn't want to be the reason for something happening to Kyran.

Hikari stood there for a long moment and then sighed heavily before she reached down to try the door since he wasn't answering. She stepped inside the room and blinked into the darkness. Her pupils started to glow even more brightly as they dilated to adjust to the darkness. She left the door open a crack just so she could see to get the the bed. She huffed when she saw the pile over overs on the bed and walked over to the bed. "Nero... Get up." she said again as she snagged the pillow and lifted it up to look down at his head. She tossed the pillow down on the other side of him and tapped him on the cheek. "Up."

Kanone grumbled as he stood up and then went to comb out his hair and put it back up again the way that he always wore it. He sighed and went to the corner, about to grab the blades before he remembered that he'd given those to Celestine. He sighed again and then went to grab Celestine's swallow from where it leaned against the wall. He stared at it for a moment and then strapped it over his shoulder the way that Celestine always wore it, though he wasn't all that comfortable with carrying it like that. He hoped he didn't slice his wings open on this thing.

Celestine just went to the the couch after Kanone had claimed his swallow. He reached down to get the belt that had the blades sheathed in it and then started to put it on. He sighed heavily and then looked down at the belt, quickly realizing this wasn't going to work all that well. He'd already pulled it down tot he smallest notch and it was still too loose on him. He just sighed and took it off again before he started for the door. He'd have to see if someone had something small and sharp that he could run through it to make another hole. He glanced back to Kanone briefly before he stepped out into the hallway again and walked back to the courtyard. He looked up to Kyran and saw the look on his face before he sighed and moved closer. "Are you alright?" he asked simply, "And...you wouldn't happen to have a knife or something small like that, would you?"

Kanone glanced around the room, pretty sure that Nobu was still in here somewhere. "Come on, Nobu, I'm closing the door," he told him as he waited a bit so the canine could get out of the room. He didn't want to lock the poor guy in there.

LaRae was a bit surprised to hear how late it had gotten already. She hadn't thought she'd sleep that long especially since they went to sleep at a decent hour last night. She was a little disappointed to hear that she missed the training but she felt better since Nanashi was going to fill her in. "...You think you nearly broke Kyran?" She asked sounding a little concerned. Of course now she was wondering exactly what type of training they did. She looked at him after he leaned his head against her and tried to smile a little. "...He's okay though, right?"

Nero barely budged even after Hikari had removed the pillow from his head. He groaned quietly and lifted his hand slowly then swiped it past his cheek after he felt something touch it. He continued to lay there for a few moments before he started to crack his eyes open and turn his head to see what had touched him. He'd already had a feeling someone was in the room so he wasn't that surprised to see someone was indeed in the room. Though, the glow from Hikari's eyes caught him off guard and he muttered under his breath before he pulled the blanket up over his head to hide.

Kyran glanced over to Celestine when he heard him ask if he was alright. He sighed quietly. "I will be.." He answered quietly. "I'm just incredibly sore depending on how I move." He added. He shook his head a little. "No, I don't." He paused. "...What do you need a knife for, anyway?" He asked a little curious as to what Celestine could possibly need a knife for.

Nobu was laying on the floor really close to the opposite side of the bed than Kanone had gotten up from. He didn't bother moving very much until he heard Kanone tell him to come because he was closing the door. He got to his feet and stretched a little before he started to walk towards the door. 'Thanks for remembering I was in here.' He thought to him before he passed through the door. Once he'd slipped out of the room he made his way towards the courtyard to see who all was awake already.

Nanashi nodded slightly, "Yes I...think he's alright... He keeps saying he is but... Well they were trying to get me to attack and I...wasn't very comfortable with the idea of attacking any of them and...well Kyran kind of...scared me and I swung without thinking and hit him in the stomach pretty hard...with Aamori's staff." He sighed, "...He's really sore, I know that much... I...hope I didn't hurt him too bad." He sighed and raised his head off of her before leaning forward so he could rest his chin on his hands. His ears fell back again while he thought about it. He really couldn't believe he'd actually tried to hurt Kyran. He said he didn't mean to but at the time when he'd swung that staff, he had every intention of hurting him just to get him to leave him alone. Maybe that was why he'd decided against carrying a weapon; if he had one apparently he wasn't against using it.

Hikari groaned when Nero just pulled the covers up over his head. "Nero, I'm not in the mood for this, just get up already!" she said irritably as she grabbed onto the covers and gave them a hard jerk, trying to get them away from him so that he didn't have anything else to hide under.

Celestine nodded slightly to Kyran when he said that he would be alright. He sighed when he said that he didn't have a knife and then shifted the belt a little. "Kanone's waist is bigger than mine," he said simply, "The belt wont get that small."

Kanone smiled slightly at Nobu and then rubbed the top of his head before he closed the door and started out to the courtyard as well. He had missed Celestine asking for the knife but when he heard Kyran asking him why he needed a knife and then heard his answer he sighed heavily and walked up behind him, "It's not my fault you don't eat. You're going to look like a walking skeleton pretty soon if you keep that up," he teased as he smacked him in the back of the head lightly.

Celestine gave Kanone an annoyed look when he started to poke fun at his eating habits. "Shut up, Kanone..."

LaRae listened quietly while Nanashi explained. She was a bit surprised that Kyran had trained with him, she had kind of expected it to be Celestine again. She had a few questions but she wasn't going to bother asking because they weren't really important. She looked at him when he lifted his head off of her and then sighed quietly. "If he said that he's going to be alright... just believe him." She said as she worked her way out from under the blanket and inched closer to the edge of the bed near him. "You need to get comfortable with attacking others when training." She commented. "If someone tells you it's alright to hit them... it's okay to hit them Nanashi." She tried to assure him. "Besides... if they say it's alright they can't be mad at you for it later. I mean... they asked for it." She told him before she leaned over to kiss his cheek lightly and then stood up to stretch a little. "...So ...we're leaving soon?" She asked as she glanced back over at him.

Nero groaned again quietly when he heard Hikari and tried to burrow into the bed a little more. He was a bit caught off guard by just how hard Hikari had jerked the covers and couldn't keep a good grip on them which resulted in him losing his hiding place. Those covers had been covering him up well and without them he was quite exposed but thankfully he had slept in his underwear. Since he lost his the covers he groaned again and started to sit up, throwing his legs over to the side of the bed opposite the side Hikari had been on. "...Is there an off button for those eyes of yours?" He asked with a yawn as he started to stand up and then make his way over to the couch to grab his shirt and slip it on over his head.

Kyran looked down at the belt when Celestine shifted it and mentioned that Kanone's waist was bigger than his. Well, that was a given. Kanone had a healthier diet than Celestine did so of course his waist was going to be bigger. He looked to Kanone after hearing him teasing Celestine. "Go ahead and keep poking fun at him, Kanone. Here pretty soon we're not going to be able to eat like we have been so even your eating habits will probably change and you'll probably even lose some weight if there isn't food around." He paused and thought briefly. "...I think we went ...what ...two or three days before we even got to eat and all we ate was bread?" He shook his head a little and glanced over to Celestine. "Anyway... I think maybe Nero might be able to help you out." He paused. "If he doesn't have a knife, he does have those spiked knuckles... the spikes are probably small enough to put another notch in that belt." He suggested.

Nanashi sighed softly when he heard LaRae's comment on it being alright to hit people. "...I guess so," he agreed quietly, "...I'm just worried about later..." He smiled weakly when she kissed his cheek and then shook his head again, "Yeah, we're leaving soon," he confirmed before standing up again. He knew everyone was probably going to tell him the same thing as far as his inability to attack during training went, but that was one of those things that took a little more than a day to get over. He finally walked over to the couch and slipped out of his coat before he folded it up and laid it down on the couch before he picked up his weapon and removed it from it's holster. He slipped his arms through the holster and then carefully reached over his head to put the weapons back where they belonged. "There..." he sighed softly and then glanced back to LaRae. "...I'm going to leave this here for now. We'll probably be coming back for a little while..." He smiled slightly, "I just got it, I don't want to go getting it torn to pieces just yet. I don't know what we're going to find, but if it's anything like the other two...heh heh...you know..." He sighed and then stretched a little before he started to move toward the door. "...LaRae, what do you fight with?" he asked curiously since he'd only just now taken notice that she didn't really have a weapon.

Hikari blinked when the cover came away from Nero and he was all but naked, again. She groaned and closed her eyes before turning around to look the other way while he was getting up, get face already flushing scarlet. "No, there isn't," she said irritably, "They get brighter the darker it gets, it's the only was I can even see where I'm going without a light source. How do you not trip over anything in here?" She shook her head, "Nevermind...don't answer that...I don't care. Just......put your clothes on," she said with a heavy sigh as she started to walk toward the door, trying her best not to look back at Nero again. That was twice now she'd gotten to see him in his underpants, though...this time was more her fault, which was the only reason that she wasn't blowing up at him now. Was it so hard to keep your pants on while you slept?

Celestine shrugged slightly when Kyran asked how long it had been they went before they got to eat. "Something like that..." he said simply. He hadn't really been paying attention, it hadn't bothered him all that much since he'd barely even been hungry when they got the bread. He nodded slightly when he said that Nero would probably have something. "Alright, I'll ask him," he said simply before he started off in the direction of Nero's room. He usually tried not to bother Nero too much, but he wasn't against speaking to him if he needed something.

Kanone listened to Kyran and made a face, "Are you serious?" he groaned and then sighed, "Well...shoot," he said flatly before he watched Celestine wander off. He sighed softly, "I guess that's fine, but I mean he doesn't even eat when there is food. He worries me to death sometimes. His scales aren't even the right color anymore," he said simply as he crossed his arms. "Oh well..I can't force feed him." he said with a shrug. "Anyway, what happened to you? You look like someone put a boot in your gut."
