Nanashi tried to keep his eyes open, even though it hurt his eyes trying to do so. He nodded just a little when Kyran said that they were at a friend of Selenity's house and then again when he said it was going to be work remembering to call her Selenity here. "...Yeah..." he whispered almost incoherently. He closed his eyes for a moment while Kyran' stretched, but when he asked if there was anything he could do or get for him he cracked them open again to look up at him. He already felt bad enough making him carry him all this way and even having him take his shoes off for him, so of course he wasn't about to ask him for anything more. He just laid his ears back a little, looking a little ashamed and shook his head weakly. "...No...I'm fine..." he told him again quietly. He couldn't even really think of anything he wanted or needed at the moment, other than maybe a drink, but he doubted he'd be able to sit up to drink it right now anyway, and he didn't want help, so it seemed pointless to ask for it. He was fully ready to release Kyran of all duties involving him and let him get back to what he wanted to be doing.

Kanone of course wasn't surprised by the location that Celestine picked, and he started in that direction almost immediately. He was trying to let Celestine walk on his own as much as possibly, but he still had to pretty much hold him upright and pointed in the right direction. Once they got there he helped him get turned around and sat down by Nobu since he was sure that was who he was worried about. He looked down to Nobu sympathetically himself and then stroked Celestine's hair once before stepping past him. He stooped long enough to rub Nobu's back lightly below the scratches and then sighed. "...Hang in there, buddy..." he said softly. He glanced at Celestine again but then opted for letting him sit with Nobu on his own. He was pretty sure it wouldn't hurt anything, and honestly...he would love to go sit down somewhere and rest himself, he was still beat and his head was only feeling a little better. He made his way almost absently back to gravitate near Nero and Reyes since that was just...where he'd been for the last little bit, and he didn't seem too sure of what to do with himself at the moment. he absently reached over and rubbed the top of Reyes's head again once Nero had moved his hand. He could almsot sense the uneasiness coming from her, though his eyes had already trailed over to LaRae and the elderly light dragon as he stood there almost sleepily messing up the girl's hair. After a moment he blinked and looked back to her, giving her a half embarrassed smile as he pulled his hand back a little. He had heard what Nero had been staying to her as he'd led Celestine away, so he did know what had her upset. "...I'm pretty sure Hikari won't let anyone bother wither of you much if she can help it." He didn't really care to try fumbling names right now. She was Hikari in his mind, she'd been Hikari since he'd met her, so unless someone corrected him otherwise, she was going to remain Hikari. He smiled slightly at Reyes and then added, "and I'm sure Nemo's right, too...err...Nermo... GAH! Nero! Vengeful gods..." He shook his head and raised his hand to rub at his temples, actually looking a little irritated with himself for once. Normally he found it amusing when he messed up a name, this time he was a little irritated since he'd had it right for a while and now he was messing it up again, and wasn't even sure why. Part of it was probably just because he was so tired and had been reminded of that mix up just earlier this morning.

Celestine was relieved after he realized that Nero was kneeling down already and then felt a little silly for asking not to be dropped. He knew Nero wasn't the most gentle person, so he really wouldn't put it past him on most days. Once he had put him down and Kanone had him he leaned back against him with a sigh and then closed his eyes for a moment, or at least until Kanone asked him where he wanted to go. He then opened them just long enough to see where Nobu had gone before pointing in that direction. He side glanced over to Reyes when he heard Nero speaking to her and then sighed softly before Kanone started to help him over to Nobu. He did feel kind of bad for both Reyes and Nero being in this territory, especially since he knew the next one over was going to be nearly as bad on him and Kanone. He tried to walk as best as he could, but Kanone still had to practically carry him over to the canines, and once he was there he sat down rather quickly in front of Nobu and Esen with his back facing the porch and his knees just an inch or two in front of Nobu's face. His ears laid back as soon as he got a good look at the gashes all over Nobu and he reached over to place his hand gently on top of Nobu's head. "Oh Nobu...." he breathed quietly. It was hard for him to sit up like this on his own without anything to support himself with, but he wasn't about to go trying to lean on Nobu like he usually did. He wasn't even entirely sure when Kanone had moved away from him again, but he knew he wasn't behind him any longer and that he was over here on his own now. It was even harder looking at Nobu in such a pitiful state. It was hard for him to see any animal injured, but especially not one that he was so close to. He could only imagine what was under those bloody bandages, and the thought of Nobu walking all of the way here like that in so much pain honestly made tears come to his eyes. He rubbed him very gently behind the ears and then lowered his head a little. "...You'll be okay..." he whispered softly. Instinctively he moved his hand over Nobu's head, leaving about an inch of room between Nobu's head and his hand and he was already mouthing the words to the best healing spell he knew quietly under his breath as the wind started to stir beneath his hand. It didn't take him long to notice that it wasn't really working, but that only made him try all the harder to make it work.

Esen raised her head a little when Celestine came over and wagged her tails slightly at the sight of him up and moving...a little. She sighed softly when she noticed the immediate concern on his face for Nobu, though she wass't jealous. She knew that Celestine was very fond of Nobu, but she also knew there wasn't a lot that could be done for him, and she hated to see Celestine as upset and worried about his injuries as she was. Once he'd held his hand over Nobu's head and started trying to heal him she shook her head a little, though he didn't seem to see her. '...Celestine...' she whined softly when her voice made him cringe so badly. Clearly his head was bothering him again, their voices always seemed to cause him pain when he had a headache. She finally got up and moved behind him to give him something to lean against while trying her best to push his hand away from Nobu's head with her nose, trying to get the point across to him without speaking. Even still that didn't seem to be getting it. '...That wont work on us, dear...' she told him as quietly as possible.

Celestine cringed at the sound of Esen's voice, mostly because it again felt some someone stabbing him in the brain, but he tried to keep his focus on what he was doing, and completely ignored her for the moment. He was bound and determined he was going to get this to work. He didn't even think of his healing magic not affecting the canines, he just thought he wasn't doing something right and that Esen was just trying to keep him from wearing himself out. He cringed again at the next thing that she said, though it finally clicked to him then why it wasn't working. Of course...otherwise Hikari probably would have done it. His ears laid back again about as far as they could possibly go and then let out his breath as he sagged back against Esen, though his hand went right back to Nobu's head again and he just looked down at him with a sad expression on his face. He was trying his best to remember everything that he'd been told about the canines, but he honestly couldn't remember whether dying from injuries was among things possible for them and right now his head hurt far too much to ask. He really hoped that Nobu was going to be alright. He would honestly have to go find a place and cry if the canine died from this, and it wasn't all that often he cried over his animal friends. As he'd told Nobu, they were usually easier to not get quite so attached to, but he had managed to get pretty attached to Nobu even in the short time that they had known each other.

Kamaria nodded her head slightly once the the girl hand answered her, and she'd gotten her attention off of that cat. She looked back to her again and then offered her a weak smile. "...Well...why don't you come inside, dear... you look like you could stand to sit down for a while." She reached over to take the girl's arm gently, hoping that would help steady her a bit as they moved and she tried to guide her toward the house. She glanced over her shoulder for a moment to the remained people, but most of them seemed alright, so she was pretty sure they could find something to do with themselves be it indoors or out.

Kyran continued to look at Nanashi up until he answered his question about getting him something or doing anything for him. He sighed softly and nodded his head. "...Alright. Well, after a little while, once we're kind of settled I'll try and come back up and check on you." He told him. "Oh, and you're going to need to try and eat or drink something eventually." He added, just as fair warning. "I know food may be the last thing on your mind, but if you're anemic, it'll help." He told him. He didn't deal with anemia very often, if at all but thanks to his uncle he did know some basic stuff and he knew that one way to help with anemia was to eat foods with iron in them and drink something like orange juice, which had vitamin C in it. He figured he could double check that information with Hikari just to be sure and then they could figure out what exactly to try and do for him. He looked down at Nanashi once more before he started to head for the door. He paused just inside the door frame and turned very slightly to look back at him. "Are you sure there's nothing I can get you right now?" He asked once more. He wasn't sure when he would be back upstairs so if Nanashi needed or wanted something now he hoped he would ask or else he was liable to be waiting a little while.

Reyes glanced up at Kanone momentarily when he felt the hand to his head. He just continued staring since he could already tell Kanone was messing up his hair. It was in two perfect, tight braids before and here he was messing it up. He nodded his head lightly after hearing him say that he was pretty sure Hikari wouldn't let anyone bother them if she could help it and then lifted his hands to his head to try and smooth out his hair a bit. He was pretty sure that it would have to be completely rebraided now, thanks to Kanone. He felt a little better but that was about it. It was just so unnerving being in enemy territory and around light dragons. He and Nero were going to stick out like sore thumbs once they got to a more populated area. He sighed softly and tried to push it aside for now. He glanced back to Kanone and tired not to laugh and failed miserably after hearing him screw up Nero's name like he did. Not only did he screw it up once, but twice. He figured it hadn't been an intentional mess-up but it was still kind of funny hearing 'Nemo' and 'Nermo'.

Nero looked over at Kanone when he approached and wound up saying something to try and help with Reyes' uneasiness. He started to lift his arms up to cross over his chest lightly and then sighed softly. His ears twitched a few times before he stared over at Kanone since he had screwed up saying his name again and even added a new one. 'Nermo'. He sighed heavily after seeing him raise his hand to rub his temples. He obviously hadn't done it on purpose. Even with that he still wouldn't mind punching him in the arm or something but the fact that he wasn't quite up to par was saving him from that. "You should go sit down or something, Kanone." He told him quietly.

Nobu hadn't bothered to pay too much attention to everything around him once he had laid down and gotten as comfortable as possible. He was tired and worn out on top of being extremely sore. His ears did perk very slightly at Celestine's being sat down near him though the motion would probably go unnoticed easily. He didn't budge, nor even wag a tail. His ears did lay back a bit though when he heard him say 'Oh Nobu'. He knew that he had been cut up pretty badly and in all honesty he was kind of hoping that Celestine wouldn't have had to see him like this but unfortunately he just didn't heal fast enough to save Celestine from seeing this. He hated to worry the kid, especially since this did look a lot worse then it really was. Then again... a normal animal could probably die from wounds like this if left untreated so of course it looked bad. He felt it almost immediately when Celestine started trying to heal him and he almost instantly felt worse. He wanted to tell him that there wasn't anything that he could do to heal the wounds but he was too tired to try and speak to him right now. He did catch when Esen tried to talk to him and noted that Celestine's head must have been bothering him badly if Esen's speaking to him bothered him. Perhaps it was better that he didn't have the energy to speak to him. He laid his ears back to the point they were practically pinned to his head seeing as Esen was having a little trouble getting the point across and making Celestine stop. He was relieved however that she was able to get him to stop. He just felt terrible that Celestine was so worried about him like he was. He really wished the healing process would speed up a bit so that he could keep Celestine from looking so sad.

Aamori had still been sitting with Zale, which wasn't that far from Nobu to begin with. She'd watched Kanone leave Celestine with Nobu and sat quietly as he wound up trying to heal Nobu. She felt bad, especially since she knew that wasn't going to help. She hadn't gotten to say anything though because she had been too busy listening to Zale. He was telling her a few things that she should say to Celestine to try and make him feel better, especially since it appeared that the canines talking to him was going to hurt his head. She sighed softly once Esen had finally gotten Celestine to stop. She started rubbing Zale's head lightly before looking at Nobu. "Zale says not to worry." She started quietly. "Nobu will heal on his own... he won't die, not unless his blades are broken." She paused. "...and our healing techniques, they just aren't powerful enough to work on things like that. He said if it was a small cut, a graze, then you're healing would help..." She sighed softly. "...I'm sorry he got hurt..." She added in a near mumble.

LaRae started to nod her head a little but paused part way through the motion. "...Alright..." She could stand to sit down and rest a little. She had been sitting before, riding on Kyiri but a nice stable, non-moving seat would be lovely... especially while her head was still hurting. She didn't bother putting up any resistance when the woman took hold of her arm, in fact she tried her best to practically cling to her. She was a little wobbly and hadn't been walking at all for at least two hours so she was afraid she may fall, or stumble, or something. She did have better balance then before but it wasn't perfect. That should at least work itself out soon, or at least she hoped. She didn't want to feel like this any longer and she was tired of needing help. She also wanted to get a look at her face. It kind of stung a little every so often and she was totally hoping that it wasn't going to show that she had been hit a few times. That would of course only make people worry, especially Nanashi and she didn't want that evidence stuck on her face for long.

Nanashi nodded again weakly once Kyran had said that he would try to come back up to check on him later. That was fine with him. Honestly, they could leave him up here until he was able to get up and move on his own and he wouldn't mind. He turned his eyes back to Kyran again when he said that he was going to have to eat or drink something eventually. He really wasn't in the mood to eat right now, but he knew that he was going to have to eat eventually, so he just nodded again weakly. "...Okay..." he agreed quietly. He just sighed softly and then closed his eyes again, more than ready to get back to sleep. He slowly opened his eyes again when Kyran stopped again to ask him if there was nothing he could get him now. "...I'm alright..." he answered again quietly, "...thank you...."

Kanone sighed softly and shook his head again when he heard Reyes laughing at his screw ups and then glanced over almost apologetically to Nero. He knew it annoyed him when he messed up his name like that, but he couldn't really help that he couldn't seem to talk right. He nodded a little when he told him he should go sit down and then sighed heavily before he glanced around. Well, there was a rocking chair out there on the porch...but he really didn't want to sit in something that was going to move. Finally he started to move away from Nero and Reyes and moved back to the porch. He pulled the swallow from over his head and leaned it against the wall before he just sat down slowly on the porch and leaned back against one of the the house off to the side of the door a little ways. He didn't really feel like invading this woman's house, so he figured the porch was good enough. He just closed his eyes and then leaned his head down onto his knees and tried to relax a little.

Celestine kept his ears laid back as his hand gently ran over the side of Nobu's face. He was trying his best not to touch the scratches on him. After a moment he leaned forward a little and gently slipped his hand under Nobu's head while his other hand brushed against the side of his face. He would have loved to have just picked Nobu up and hugged him if he was able, and he really wished there was something he could do for him. He glanced over to Aamori slowly when she started talking to him and then just sighed heavily. The news that their healing abilities weren't strong enough to help honestly didn't make him feel any better. He was glad that Nobu wasn't going to die from this, but at the same time, he looked even more tortured that he couldn't do anything for him and the poor thing was going to have to lay here and be in pain until his wounds healed on their own. He looked back down to Nobu again and scooted a little closer to him, trying to move so that he was sitting closer to being beside him than in front of him. He then just resumed the motion of gently rubbing his ears since at the moment that was all he could think do to. He couldn't even come up with a good response for Aamori, so he didn't bother to say anything. Even if he couldn't really do anything for Nobu, he still had every intention of staying with him. After all, when he was poisoned by that Hydra Nobu hardly left his side.

Kamaria smiled a little when the girl seemed to be trying to cling to her and just moved a little closer to her to make it easier for her. She helped her up onto the porch, since it was only one little step and then wrapped her arm gently around her waist as she walked her to the door at a pace easy for her to keep up with. Once they'd both managed to get inside, she led her through the kitchen and dining area, which was at the back of the house, and into a small sitting room which only had two chair and a couch with a coffee table in between. There wasn't much else in the room except for a fireplace and the staircase the led to the upstairs. There was another door beside the stairs case that was closed off at the moment. She led the girl over to the couch and then slowly let her go so that she could get turned around and sit down. She smiled at her warmly once she'd gotten down and then reached over to push her hair back a little. She blinked when her finger brushed against something hard and kind of rough on her forehead, and he had to do a quick double take of the girl. She did catch sight of part of something that looked like a horn from under her hair, so she guessed the girl wasn't a halfbreed as she'd originally thought. She shook her head a little and then looked at her cheek for a moment. "Well, is there anything i can get you, dear?" she asked softly.

Kyran stared over at Nanashi for a few moments and then nodded his head lightly in response to his saying that he was alright and then saying thank you. "You're welcome." He paused. "Someone will be up to check on you in a little while." He told him with a slight nod before he turned away from Nanashi and started for the stairs. He paused briefly when he reached the bottom of the stairs and looked over at Kamaria and LaRae. He was a little glad to see that she had been brought inside. At first glance she looked like she may have been fairing a bit better then she had been earlier though the redness to her face bothered him slightly. He was curious as to how that happened but for now wouldn't question it. He wanted to make a quick check on everyone else before he started to settle down and try to really talk to anyone. He started to walk away from the staircase, into the kitchen and headed for the back porch where everyone else was. Or at least he assumed that was where everyone else was since he only saw LaRae inside with Kamaria and no one in the kitchen.

Nero watched as Kanone went up to the porch and took a seat off to the side of the door. He continued to stand where he was for a few moments before looking down at Reyes and touching his head again lightly. He motioned his head off towards the house and then started to move that way himself. Rather then move to sit on the porch like Kanone had be walked around to one side of the house and started to sit down and put his back against the wall. He didn't really want to sit right there were the majority of everyone else was, which was normal for him but he did stay within earshot this time. Considering how much he would stand out against the whiteness of the house he really didn't care to be too far from the others though he'd never really admit to that.

Reyes just kind of stared up at Nero for a moment after he had touched his head and motioned towards the house. He then watched him start over to the side of the house. He glanced around a little and eyed Celestine over by Nobu and the other canines. He was tempted to go over there but he was getting the impression that it was probably better that he didn't. At least judging by the atmosphere over there. He sighed softly and decided to head towards Nero. At least he could sit there with him quietly and rest his legs from the walking that they had done today. It hadn't been quite that much walking but it had been a considerable amount on top of all of the stuff that had gone on today. He continued right around the side of the house and walked up beside Nero before planting himself relatively close to him.

Aamori continued to sit where she was, steadily patting Zale. She felt terrible about all of this and wished there was something more that she could do. She could change Nobu's wraps but she'd have to find some bandages first. She supposed she could get up and do that but it might be better to let Nobu rest for a little while after doing all of that walking. She glanced down at Zale momentarily. "Zale says that you really needn't worry, they have expedited healing processes and he should be good as new in a day or two." Of course the only obvious part of that which was left out was that you needn't worry, unless the blades were in danger. But since they weren't, there wasn't really a problem.

LaRae accepted the help into the house easily and was kind of glad for it. She let out a sigh of relief once the woman had helped her get over to the couch in the sitting room. Sitting on a couch certainly was better then sitting on a massive cat that was moving. She lifted her eyes slightly when the woman had tried to push her hair back a little. She was kind of used to the different reactions when people found out she had horns, or well, had had horns. She may have had a headache and not quite been all there at the moment but she knew well enough that the woman had spotted her little stubs. "...They were sawed off when I was young." She mumbled quietly and left it at that. She lifted her hand to her head and started to rub her temple lightly. She glanced back to the woman when she asked if there was anything that she could get her. She almost hated to ask, especially after the woman had helped her into the house and to the couch too. "...Some ice ...would be wonderful..." She answered quietly.

Nanashi closed his eyes again once Kyran had told him that someone would come to check on him in a little while and then nodded a little. "...Okay...," he said quietly. He continued to lay where he was for a few moments after Kyran had walked away and then slowly turned himself over so that he was laying on the side that hadn't been sliced open and facing away from the door. He curled up a little and nuzzled is head against the pillow a little before he closed his eyes again. He did of course want to know how LaRae was doing, but hew as pretty sure everyone else would take care of her for now. He knew he wasn't in any shape to try, and he wasn't too sure he was too mentally equipped for it now either. He still wasn't quite over what had happened earlier and he still wasn't in much of a mood to do much more than curl up. He really didn't want to be left alone either, but he knew that Kyran had several other people to worry about now, and he's occupied enough of his time. There wasn't too much that could be done for him right now anyway, he just didn't really want to be left by himself where he had nothing else to do but think about what he'd done earlier.

Kanone was just sitting by the house with his head down for now, though he glanced up once when he felt Kyiri come to curl up beside him and then again when he heard Kyran come back out of the house. He looked up at him for a few seconds and then dropped his head back to his knees with a sigh as he closed his eyes again. His head was still bothering him, so as long as he could get away with keeping it down and out of the light and away from too much movement and loud noises he was going to be happy.

Celestine glanced back over to Aamori again when she spoke though he didn't bother to move from where he was stroking Nobu. He felt Esen move over to practically wrap herself around him again, probably so he had something to lean against, which was fine with him. He sighed heavily when she said that Zale said he really needn't worry, but a day or two seemed like forever to him. "...I know..." he finally choked out dully. He turned his eyes back down to Nobu again and continued to rub on his ears gently. He didn't want to have to see him like this for another full day or more. Zale's reassurances didn't seem to be making him feel much better, he still had his ears laid back and looked dangerously close to tears. It was killing him that he couldn't do anything to help Nobu, it really was. He had a feeling the only person who would really give him a run from his money on being more upset was Kyran, but even at that it was a really close run. Nobu was Kyran's dog of course and had been for however long, but Celestine was very easily upset when it came to seeing any animal in pain, and considering how much he liked Nobu it was all the worse right now, so knowing it was going to last for at least another day and there was nothing he could do wasn't helping him feel any better. He knew it could have been worse, but this was certainly bad enough ad far as he was concerned.

Kamaria glanced down to the girl when she started to explain about her horns and looked a little embarrassed since she hadn't realized she'd even made much of a scene of her discovery. "I'm sorry, dear..." she said softly after she'd told her how it had happened. She nodded her head a little when she asked for ice and then smiled weakly. "Of course, I'll be back in a few minutes. You just relax..." With that she started to turn, though she noticed the thunder dragon leaving the house again. Her steps weren't near as lengthy as that young man's and she wasn't that fast anymore to begin with so he was already out the door by the time she reached the kitchen. She did still move with a certain grace about her even if her movements were slow and careful. She went the the freezer and pulled out the ice tray before setting it on the counter and pulling down a glass. She thought it was a rather odd request to just ask for ice, but then some people did like to chew it. She didn't really even think about ice as in the form of an ice pack, mostly because in Glenys ice packs were almost obsolete. She had other things that could be used for that, though she also didn't really think about someone from another clan not knowing about the things that they used for such things around here. Once she'd broken the ice out of the tray and put it in the glass she refilled the tray and put it back into the freezer before returning to the living room with the glass. She smiled weakly and then help the glass out to LaRae. "Here you are, dear..."

Kyran stood on the porch for a few moments, taking note of where everyone had gone. He didn't see Hikari of course which was one person in particular that he was looking for. He did notice Kanone on the porch near the door, along with Kyiri. Then of course Nero and Reyes couldn't be seen from where he was, which wasn't that unexpected. Lastly, Celestine and Aamori with the canines. He sighed quietly and turned slightly to glance back in the house for a moment. He hadn't seen Hikari when he came down the stairs but she must have been inside somewhere. He guessed he'd look for her after he checked on Celestine and Nobu. He almost hated to go over there though. He'd been keeping himself together well enough and trying not to get too upset by Nobu being hurt like he was and this was going to be the first time he actually decided to get so close to the canine. He finally stepped away from the door and started towards that end of the porch. He paused just at the end nearest the small group and stared down at Nobu for a few moments. He really did feel horrible about how badly Nobu had gotten hurt. Worse was the fact that he was there when it happened, right there and he could have done something that could have possibly lessened the damage the poor dog took. He pulled his eyes away from the blood stained wraps on Nobu and looked to Celestine momentarily. "...How're you feeling, Celestine?" He asked quietly. "Do you need anything?"

Aamori sighed almost heavily after Celestine choked out his response. Zale was at least trying to make him feel better and it was a shame it didn't really seem to be working. She wished that there was something she could do for Celestine to make him feel better but she was pretty sure the only thing that would make him feel better was for Nobu to be healed and right now that would take a miracle. She lowered her eyes back down to Zale and stroked his head lightly. She guessed when it came time to change Nobu's wraps she could let Celestine help with that. He would probably feel a little, tiny fraction bit better if he could help with that but that all depended on whether or not this woman had some bandages in her house. She lifted her head slightly and looked up at Kyran when he came to the end of the porch and inspected Nobu for a few moments before asking Celestine how he was feeling and if he needed anything. She felt a little slow right then, she hadn't even thought to ask those questions herself but she supposed she'd been too concerned with how upset Celestine looked to bother asking such things. She was a bit curious how Kyran was holding up but he looked a lot better then Celestine did. If he was torn up about this he really wasn't showing it as easily as Celestine had been.

LaRae smiled weakly at the woman when she said she would be back in a few minutes and for her to just relax. That wouldn't be too hard. She had no desire to get up or move around so relaxing was going to be a breeze. She lowered her hand from her head and started to lay it back against the couch while she waited. She had shut her eyes as well and tried to take deep breaths to relax herself. She cracked her eyes open when the woman came back and spoke. She blinked her eyes a couple times as she lifted her head a little. She eyed the glass the woman was holding out to her and smiled weakly again before taking it from her. "...Thanks..." She said quietly. She supposed that was what she got for not being specific about what she wanted or what the ice was going to be used for. It wasn't that big a deal though she guessed. The ice would still cool through the glass. She lifted the glass up to the side of her head and pressed it against her temple as she set her head back against the couch once more.

Celestine kept his eyes on Nobu now that Aamori had stopped speaking to him. He was still trying to help him the best that he could, though he didn't know how comforting sitting against him and rubbing his ears was at the moment. His other hand was still gently rubbing him under the chin. He was probably clearly preoccupied at the moment, since usually it took a lot to startle Celestine—on a good day he knew you were there when you were still a good distance away since he could hear you coming easily—and he nearly jumped out of his skin when Kyran spoke to him. His head jerked up and whipped around and he almost immediately looked sick from the motion. His head spun and he suddenly found himself leaning more heavily against Esen as his hand slipped out from under Nobus' chin. He drew his hand away from Nobu's head and pressed it to his own as he blinked, trying to get the word to stop spinning in his vision. Clearly quick head movements weren't the best idea for him right now, especially since he could barely sit up straight as it was. After a second he answered Kyran, though he didn't raise his head to look at him. "...No...I'm fine..." he said quietly. He was pretty sure it was obvious how he was feeling at this point, so he didn't even bother answering that, but he didn't need anything...or at least he didn't think he needed anything. After a few seconds he sat himself back up again slowly and started to rub Nobu's head again gently behind the ear and then glanced up to Kyran slowly. He still couldn't shake that sad, helpless expression on his face. He really did want to be doing something more useful right now, but he was doing good to even do this. It pissed him off a little that he'd let himself get hit with that dart, even if he hadn't had a way of knowing that the hunters had them or hadn't even seen it coming. He didn't take excuses very well, not even from himself; to him all that mattered was the end result and the end result this time was that he'd been nothing but useless and a pain in Nero's rear. Not only had be slept through the entire fight, but Nero had to carry him all the way here, and he scratched him for it...and now all he could do was sit here. God forbid he ever figure out that the halfbreed had hided him to get away as well. He sighed and lowered his eyes again to look at the top of Nobu's head, absently balling the hand that had once been under Nobu's chin into a fist on his leg. "...They could probably use some water..." he said quietly. He would have gotten that himself, but he would probably fall in it before he got it here. The canines had been walking as much as they had and they hadn't had a water break at all that he knew of, not that any of them had really stopped to eat or have a drink...there wasn't much to be had on the road, but now that they were stopped, he thought it was about time they were looked after. Everyone else could get their own water, the canines and Kyiri weren't exactly blessed with thumbs.

Esen raised her head a little to look at Kyran when he spoke and wagged her tails just a little before Celestine practically fell on her. Her tails fell flat after that and she looked at him until he'd sat himself up again before she sat up a little and nuzzled against him. She sighed softly when he said that he didn't need anything, then mentioned that they could use some water. Well, she couldn't deny that she was thirsty, but she wished he'd worry a little more about himself right now than having them taken care of. There wasn't a thing to be done for Nobu at the moment, and they weren't going to dehydrate if they waited until everyone else was taken care of to get a drink. She glanced back up to Kyran for a moment and tilted her head a little with a soft whine before she laid her chin on Celestine's shoulder lightly and nuzzled against his cheek lightly. She felt weird having him asking Kyran to do something like that, it was usually him making sure they had what they needed, and personally, she'd rather just wait until he was feeing better so he'd have something to be doing, though...she couldn't really speak for Zale or Nobu...though something told her Nobu wasn't in the mood for much of anything but sleeping.

Kamaria watched as the girl took the ice and then blinked when she put it to her head. She actually felt her cheeks go a little red when it dawned on her that she must have wanted an ice pack. "Oh..." she said, looking embarrassed before she smiled and shook her head a little. "No, honey, here...." she said softly as she reached for the glass with a weak laugh. "I have something for that, I'm sorry... I forgot you're not from around here. Would you like me to put some water in that for you?" she asked since she'd already dumped the ice into the glass. She waited long enough to get an answer from her and then started back to the kitchen again, this time moving to the freezer to pull out another object. This was a small blue pack that squished easily to fit the shape of whatever it was laying against. It was filled with with a gel that didn't freeze, but grew easily almost as cold as ice, though it wouldn't be quite as unbearable if left against the skin. It also gave off a subtle, soothing floral scent that would almost remind someone of honey suckles, only a little sweeter. She was fairly certain this would work a lot better than holding a glass full of ice to your head, or even an ice pack since it wasn't as hard as a solid block of ice.

Kyran was a little surprised that he had startled Celestine like he did. He hadn't expected to but he guessed that this was just proof enough that Celestine really wasn't feeling all that well yet. He just kind of nodded his head after he heard him say no, that he was fine. He continued to stand there for a few moments, mostly just staring down at Nobu. He looked to Celestine when he heard him say that the canines could probably use some water. He just stared at him for a moment before nodding his head. He didn't really think that Celestine needed to be worrying about something like water for the canines, especially when he was still recovering from a sedative himself but he didn't bother to argue that with him. He didn't mind getting water for the canines since they hadn't had any in awhile that he knew of and it was something to do to keep himself busy. "...I guess I'll go see what Kamaria is willing to part with to put the water in." He said quietly. "..Oh.. and sorry for startling you, Celestine." He added in a rather sad sounding tone. Staring at Nobu like he had, had started to get to him a little though he was trying hard not to be too bothered by it at least on the outside. He started to turn back to go to the door again after giving Nobu one last glance though he paused when he heard Aamori and looked back at her.

Aamori sat quietly and kept her hand on Zale's head. She stared over at Celestine when he said he said that he was fine after Kyran had asked if he needed anything. She wasn't really sure she was surprised to hear that out of him since he was more concerned with Nobu then himself. That much was clear, to her anyway. She shook her head slightly when she heard him say that the canines could probably use water. She was so telling herself that they would've asked for it if they wanted it. This was pretty sad... Celestine was more worried about Nobu and the canines were more worried about Celestine. Or at least she thought that was because they already knew they couldn't do anything for Nobu and that he would be fine. She sighed quietly after hearing Kyran agree to get water and start to head towards the door. She wasted little time calling after him. "Kyran... could you see about some bandages too, please?" She asked and waited until he nodded his head and then watched him continue towards the door.

LaRae slowly glanced towards the woman when she started to speak. She kept the glass to her head for a moment when she asked for it and waited until she'd apologized and said she had something for her head before handing the glass back to her. She wasn't really wanting to give it up if there wasn't going to be something to replace it. She nodded her head lightly after hearing her ask about filling the glass with water. "...That'd be nice, thanks." She said quietly and then watched her as she left. She sighed quietly and set her head back against the couch again. How could the woman forget she wasn't from around here? Her scales were utterly a different color and it was so obvious. She lifted her hand to her head after a moment and already missed the ice in that glass. She hoped whatever the woman brought back for her was just as good.

Kyran slipped back into the kitchen without another word and was a little glad to see that Kamaria was in the kitchen. He sighed quietly just before opening his mouth. "Kamaria... I've got two questions." He started. "Do you have anything that I could put water in to give to the dogs... and do you have any bandages?" He paused. "...The one canine needs his wraps changed and I'm afraid we may not have anymore on us."

Celestine honestly was still a little jumpy, even though they were well out of danger's way. He wasn't so used to being sedated or having anything sneak up on him, so the whole experience today had been a little nerve wracking to him. He'd likely be over the jumpiness by tomorrow, or maybe even later today when that sedative started to leave him with a clearer head. He went right back to stroking Nobu again after Kyran had agreed to get the water and then leaned his head over against Esen's lightly since she had her head on his shoulder. He raised his head a little when Kyran spoke to him again and finally looked back to him, his expression mirroring Kyran's sad tone. "...It's alright...I wasn't paying attention..." he responded quietly. He slowly turned his head back to glance at Aamori when she asked for bandages. He didn't know why he hadn't thought about that as well...after all the ones on him were bloody, they needed changed. He honestly didn't wast to see what was under those wraps, though... He sighed as he lowered his eyes again and finally closed them while his hand continued to rub against Nobu's ears. His head felt a little better then he closed his eyes and he leaned his head over against Esen's again. He actually smiled, just a tiny bit, when he felt her tongue against his cheek and then raised his other hand to rub her neck gently for a moment before he let his hand rest in his lap again. "...Thanks..." he whispered quietly. He was grateful that she was staying so close to him and letting him lean on her so much, as well as her attempts at making him feel better. He was grateful to Zale as well, though he was having a little bit of a hard time expressing much of anything other than concern for Nobu at the moment.

Kamaria had just gotten to the sink to fill the glass with water then the thunder dragon came back through the door again. She looked at him for a moment when he addressed her by name, and assumed then that Selenity must have mentioned it to them before. "Yes dear," she asked when he said that he had two questions and then turned to face him. She titled her head a little as she tried to think of what she had around that a dog could drink out of, judging by the size of those animals, a little bowl wasn't going to be that good. "Well..." she said quietly as she tried to think. "...There are a couple of mixing bowls in the cabinet...or there should be a bucket at the well..." she said thoughtfully. She sighed softly and then glanced back toward the living room at the closed door for a moment. "I have bandages, but I'm afraid they're in the downstairs bathroom; I will have to get them once Selen, err... Selenity finishes up." She glanced back down to what she had been doing and then offered the young man an apologetic smile. "I'll be right back, dear," she told him before she took the gel pack and ice water and started to walk a little more briskly back to the living room. She paused long enough to hand the items to the girl and smiled at her. "Here, honey...I hope I think this should work a little better." She waited until she was sure the girl had the things and then smiled at her again before she turned to go back to the kitchen. Once she got there she moved over to the far cabinet to retrieve a mixing bowl, though she actually had to tip-toe a little to get it down. Once she had it she returned to Kyran and held it over to him. "Here you are. There is ice is the freezer if you want to cool it down a little more for them, I know it is hot out there today. I don't see how they stand all of that fur." She really didn't like the idea of a dog drinking out of her kitchen bowls but...well she guessed she could wash it...a few times, before she put it up again. A bucket would probably be hard for the injured one to get it's head in, anyway.

Luckily, Hikari was pretty much done with the bathroom. She had tired her best to wash her hair out without actually getting into the bath. She had used the sink to wash her upper body off thoroughly to get off all of the blood and then tried her best to wash the blood out of her hair. She managed, with a bit of difficulty, to get the red out of the front of her hair, though that left it completely soaked which of course left it stringy and her gem fully visible on her forehead again. She had taken off the top that went with this skirt and changed into the button-up tunic that had gone with the shorts Ishta had given her. as she'd thought, they didn't go together that well at all, but...well it worked. At least they were both white and blue... She started out of the bathroom and sighed as she pushed her hands back through her hair, trying to get it out of her face again before she glanced toward the kitchen and noticed Kamaria with Kyran. "...Sorry that took so long..." she apologized as she started over, "and see, I told you it was nothing..." She pointed to the three pink lines on her face while looking pointedly at Kamaria. That and all of the blood had obviously been an issue with Kamaria earlier, so she'd tried to clean herself up as best as she could and make sure that her face really didn't look that bad. The marks weren't that attractive, bit they weren't huge bleeding gashes any longer, just little pink scars, so she didn't think they were anything that needed to be fussed over...there would be plenty of that later. She glanced around again, taking note now of LaRae in the living room and then tilted her head a little at Kyran. "...How is everyone that you've spoken to?" she asked softly, obviously ready to put herself to use now that she wasn't so bad to look at. She had looked worse than she realized before after catching a glimpse of herself on the mirror, mostly just because she half looked a little demented running around with so much blood on her.

Kyran nodded his head a little after hearing a response from Kamaria. He thought a mixing bowl would probably be a good choice though after hearing her mention a bucket by the well he leaned a little more towards that option. It was kind of rude to ask to use someone dishes to water your animals, especially having only just met the person. He smiled slightly when Kamaira brought up where Hikari was and then nodded his head a little. That at least explained where Hikari had gone. She must have slipped in the bathroom sometime after he had taken Nanashi upstairs. He focused on Kamaria once more when she said that she would be right back. "Oh, alright. Sorry for interrupting what you were doing." He apologized quietly, realizing that she had things in her hands.

LaRae cracked her eyes open when she heard the woman speak again and looked at the things she was handing her. She lifted her head up long enough to reach for the glass and the icepack? Well it kind of reminded her of one. Her eyes widened momentarily at the feel of the icepack when it squished a little in her hand rather then being hard and solid. "...Thanks." She said quietly as she stared at the pack for a moment before setting it down on her thigh while she took a drink from the glass. Surprising even herself she nearly downed the whole glass. She then shifted as needed to get the glass to the coffee table before leaning back on the couch again. The motion set her head off into aching again but she ignored it for the moment and started to lift the icepack up to place on her forehead. She started to close her eyes gently, at least until she smelt something nice and had to open her eyes to glance around a little. It was a really refreshing smell to her, especially being an earth dragon and all. She lifted her eyes very slightly and eyed the icepack as best as she could. Maybe it came from there? She hadn't seen anything else in the room that would give off that sweet honeysuckle scent like that and honeysuckles weren't exactly the type of flower you stuck in a vase in your living area. She smiled a little and shut her eyes again. If these things were made here she may just have to try and get her hands on one for herself. It was really kind of nice and sure beat holding a glass to her head.

Kyran watched when Kamaria came back into the kitchen and watched her go retrieve a mixing bowl. He smiled a little after she held it out to him. He reached for it and then nodded his head a little after she had said there was ice in the freezer if he wanted to cool it down. "Thank you." He told her. "I think I may just get some water from the well, that shouldn't be too hot by itself." He added. Considering how deep most wells were and the fact that they were in the ground he doubted the heat would have cooked the water too badly all the way down there. He was just about ready to turn and head outside when Hikari came into the kitchen. He smiled almost automatically at seeing her. He was glad she had gotten a chance to clean herself up a little, being covered in blood wasn't exactly becoming. He shifted the mixing bowl from one hand to the other and focused on her when she asked how everyone was that he had spoken to. "...I haven't talked to everyone, but Nanashi said that he was alright and Celestine's practically attached to Nobu." He paused. "Everyone else is pretty much sitting somewhere off on their own." He told her. "I was thinking though... Nanashi's going to need to eat and or drink something sooner rather then later." He paused. "What do you think?"

Kamaria wasn't really concerned with being interrupted, she was just scrambling to try to get all of her new guests taken care of. Once she'd gotten back to the kitchen and passed off the bowl to the thunder dragon she nodded a little when he said that he would get the water from the well. She didn't really mind where he got it from, so long as he was able to get some. She glanced over to Selenity once she'd returned to the kitchen and offered her a slight smile. "Well now, that does look a bit better," she said softly. She turned her attention back to the thunder dragon for a moment and then sighed softly. From the sounds of it, she had a rather large dinner to prepare tonight, she didn't think what she'd originally had planned for herself was going to cut it with eight extra mouths to feed. "I'll go get those bandages..." she said finally before she turned to started back toward the bathroom.

Hikari nodded slightly when Kyran had said that Nanashi said he was fine. "That isn't surprising..." she said absently. Nanashi was always telling her that, no matter how he was doing, so she wasn't surprised to hear that he gave Kyran the same answer, not that there was much that could be done even if he wasn't alright. She sighed softly when he mentioned Celestine being attached to Nobu, again...that wasn't surprising. "Well, I'm sure Nobu is in good hands then..." she said with a weak smile. She knew Kyran had to be worried about the poor thing, and clearly Celestine was as well. She was sure he'd be well taken care of so long as Celestine was awake. She glanced after Kamaria when she started to walk away and then turned her attention back to Kyran again when he asked her what she thought about Nanashi needing to eat or drink something soon and then tilted her head a little. "...I think good luck..." she said with a soft sigh, knowing Nanashi probably wasn't in the mood for anything judging by the mood he was in earlier, nor was he going to be too thrilled if someone tried to help him. She closed her eyes for a moment, trying to think of what would be the best thing to give him. She wasn't entirely sure what Kamaria had around here at the moment, anyway, it had been a while since she had been here for obvious reasons. "Well...it's been a while since he's eaten anything...so something easy to eat, and I'd say after as much blood as he's lost..." she sighed, tilted her head as she tried to think of something that was easy to eat and would give him what he needed for now. "...For now...I think if we just get him some fruit juice and...some kind of...mmm...well chicken is good for iron...actually liver would be better, but I don't know if he'd eat it... I really don't know, I know he's tired, and I'm trying to think of something that isn't going to require much use of silverware or anything, so...I guess chicken or just whole grain...or....I don't even know what we have available at the moment... You may be better off asking Kamaria, or I may just have to just go hunting."

Kamaria returned for the bathroom just a few minutes later with a roll of bandager in her hand. "Ask me what, Selen?" she asked as she asked as she came closer and held the bandages out toward the thunder dragon. "Here," she said with a slight smile before she glanced back to Selenity again and smiled slightly. "Well now, Selen, are you going to introduce me to any of your friends or do I have to guess?" she asked pleasantly.

Hikari blushed a little when Kamaria came back and then asked if she was going to introduce her to any of her friends. "Oh, I'm sorry... Um... This is Kyran," she told her as she motioned toward Kyran, "The girl on the couch is LaRae... um...the girl from the water clan is Aamori, the two wind dragons are Kanone and Celestine, Celestine is the younger one, and from the dark clan, Nero is the male and Reyes is the girl with him... Oh, and Nanashi is the one that we had to take upstairs..." She side glanced at Kyran as if asking if she'd forgotten about anyone and then shook her head a little.

Kamaria laughed weakly and shook her head a little at Selenity's rushed explanation. "...I'll try to remember all of that..." she said simply before she glanced back to Kyran and smiled a little. "Now what are you two trying to figure out?"

Kyran gave a slight bow of his head after Kamaria had said that she would go get the bandages and watched her leave before looking back to Hikari. "You really do look better." He agreed once Kamaira had left the room. He listened to Hikari when she spoke and then nodded his head after hearing her say that she was sure Nobu was in good hands. "Yeah... Celestine's gotten pretty attached to him and vice versa... so I know Celestine will keep an eye on him." He said quietly doing his best to cover up his saddened tone. He shifted his attention slightly once the topic of Nanashi and eating was brought back up. "Nanashi agreed already that he would need to eat something and regardless of whether or not he wants to eat... he needs to. He's got to have something to help him build up his strength again." He nodded his head a little here and there as she continued and mentioned getting Nanashi something that was easy to eat, as well as a couple meats that were good for iron. He sighed softly. "I don't really think it matters at this point on whether or not he would eat something like liver. He'll just have to eat what we can get him. With him in the state he is in right now I don't think he has the choice of being a picky eater." He said quietly. "...As for easy things to eat... what about banana's or carrots?" He paused. "Even mashed up those would be kind of easy to eat... or honey." He thought for a moment. "I think my uncle said honey is a good quick fix... but not everyone has honey on hand." He sighed softly and was about to respond to her saying that maybe he should ask Kamaria when she actually came into the kitchen and responded with 'ask her what'. He automatically reached for the bandages when she held them out to him and smiled a little. "Thank you so much." He said quietly and moved to set the bandages inside the mixing bowl for now. He stared over at Kamaria a little embarrassed himself when she asked about being introduced to Hikari's friends. He hadn't even thought of saying anything about names to the woman and here he was already asking her to get him things and she didn't even know his name. His father would be so ashamed of him right now if he were alive. He was quiet while Hikari rattled off who everyone was and then smiled weakly after she had glanced towards him. "That's everyone, minus the animals of course." He said with a nod before looking over at Karmaria. "I do apologize for not properly introducing myself before, that was rude of me." He said and then bowed his head slightly. He straightened up once she had inquired about what he and Hikari had been trying to figure out. "Nanashi's lost a considerable amount of blood today and we were trying to figure out something we could feed him that wouldn't be too hard for him to eat considering the lack of energy he has at the moment while also trying to keep in mind that we don't know what exactly we can get our hands on at the moment." He paused. "Princess Selenity recommended chicken or possibly liver since both meats are relatively high in iron. I also think a drink high in vitamin C might be helpful if he takes in a lot of iron as it should help the body absorb the iron." He told her quietly, hoping that pretty much covered the basics of what they had spoken of and what he thought about.

Hikari smiled slightly when Kyran said that she really did look better and then nodded a little when he said that Celestine and Nobu had gotten attached to one another. She had noticed that already, though Celestine seemed to get pretty easily attached to just about any animal, she did notice that he spent a considerable amount of time with Nobu even after Esen had shown up. She moved a little closer to Kyran and placed her hand on his arm gently after he'd said it, that tone hadn't really escaped her. She knew that he was upset over Nobu, and she really wished that she could do something to help the poor dog, not only for his own good, but so Kyran and Celestine wouldn't be so upset, either. She also knew that Nanashi wasn't going to really have the luxury of being a picky eater when it came down to it, she'd just meant she didn't know if he could stomach eating a chicken liver...after all it didn't really look that appetizing, or at least it never had to her. She nodded a little at the idea of bananas or carrots, but then sighed. "Well, bananas don't exactly grow around here...that's more of a tropical fruit, but I'm pretty sure carrots wouldn't be too hard to find..." She thought that Kamaria might have some honey, but she really didn't know. She knew that the woman liked honey, but she didn't know if she had any handy.

Kamaria smiled at Kyran again when he'd thanked her for the bandages. "No problem dear," she responded before she'd decided to interrogate Selenity about everyone's name. She didn't know if she was going to remember all of that later, but she was certainly going to try. She shook her head a little when Kyran apologized for not introducing himself. "That's alright, dear, I don't believe I've introduced myself to anyone yet either," she admitted, "so I can hardly hold it against you. I'm not very big on formalities, anyway." She listened quietly as he started to explain to her what they had been discussing and then nodded her head slightly. "Well...sounds like he's in luck at least..." she said with a half smile, "I try to stay pretty well stocked out here... There's a garden not too far off, and I do have some meats in the other freezer, I'm fairly certain chicken is probably among them." She just smiled a little and then shook her head, "You're welcome to help yourselves to whatever you need for him...and I'll see what I can do for the rest of you for dinner. There is also some juice in the refrigerator. I don't know if he will like it, it's made from a berry that grows around here, and it's a little bitter, but it's good for you and it does have vitamin C..."

Hikari smiled warmly when Kamaria started to tell Kyran what all she had and said that they could help themselves in finding something good for Nanashi. She finally just wrapped her arms around the woman's shoulders and nuzzled her cheek against the side of her head. "Thank you, Granny," she said warmly. She really was grateful that the woman was being so helpful and good natured about all of this. She did feel bad bringing everyone to her doorstep like this, but they really didn't have too many other places to go.
Kamaria smiled again when Selenity hugged her and thanked her, and chuckled softly when she called her 'granny' again. "It's no trouble, dear. I told you before, whenever you need something..." She glanced back over to Selenity again and half smiled, "And what name are you going by this time, Selen? I know you, you haven't been 'princess Selenity' all day, have you?"
Hikari smiled weakly, and then looked a little sheepish. "...Hikari..." she said after a moment. She could see the slightly surprised look on Kamaria's face, and then added, "I needed a name, fast, and that was the first one that came to mind.... You don't mind, do you?" she asked softly.
Kamaria blinked when she had said her late granddaughter's name after she'd asked her question. She was surprised that she'd used it, though it didn't really bother her. "Well now...I'm a little flattered you would remember and pick that one off the top of your head. ...Of course I don't mind, dear." She really didn't mind, it was just a little surprising. Honestly she thought that her granddaughter probably would have found a world of amusement in the princess pretending to be her, especially since she had loved to pretend to be a princess. "Anyway, why don't you take Kyran to the garden and see what you can find once he's gotten his hands free?"
Hikari smiled again, this time looking relieved that Kamaria didn't mind her using this name. "I like her name," she said simply before giving Kamaria another hug. "And really, thank you do much, you're a life saver, you know that?" She kissed the woman lightly on the cheek and then hopped back a little and giggled softly. She really was glad to get to see Kamaria, and kind of glad the others were getting to meet her as well, though she really wished it had been under better circumstances. She finally glanced back to Kyran and smiled warmly again and then tilted her head a little. "Does that sound good to you?"

Kyran looked to Kamaria and nodded his head slightly when she said that it was alright since she hadn't introduced herself yet either. Even still he felt a little better after apologizing for not introducing himself sooner. He continued to listen quietly when she continued and told them about what she had. He gave a slight nod of his head again once she had brought of the juice in the fridge after saying that they could help themselves to whatever they needed for Nanashi. "Thank you, I appreciate your kindness." He told her. He was ready to turn and head outside again so that he could free his hands but he stared over at the two of them for a moment once Kamaria had asked what name she was going by now. He hadn't quite been sure what relationship Hikari and this woman had but after that question he assumed that they must have been close, especially if Hikari was willing to share the name she had chosen as an alias. He stood there quietly and listened to the two of them. He wasn't quite sure he was understanding who's name it was but it seemed to mean something to Kamaria. He glanced between Kamaria and Hikari briefly once they seemed to be done with the name topic and Hikari had asked if that sounded good to him, what Kamaria had said. He nodded his head lightly. "Yes, of course." He responded. "It shouldn't take long to empty my hands." He added quietly before shifting the mixing bowl a little and then turning towards the back door. He paused after opening it and holding it open for Hikari. "Thank you again, Kamaria."

Kamaria smiled warmly at Kyran and then shook her head a little when he thanked her again. "You're welcome, dear...just let me know if you need anything else and I will see what I can do." She watched for a moment as the two of them started to head out of the house again and then sighed softly and made her way over to the counter again. She guessed she may as well go ahead and start figuring out what to do about dinner. She knew that she had plenty of ingredients to work with, but she had no idea what everyone would want or what would be the easiest to make. She was leaning toward some kind of stew but that would take a while, and would requite her making a trip tot he garden as well. She sighed, deciding for now to just wait until Selenity got back from the garden to see what she brought and try to decide from there. Once she'd decided on that course of action she just turned and walked back to the living room slowly and sat down in one of the chairs across from the couch with a soft sigh. This was a lot more excitement than she was used to in one evening, that was for certain.

Hikari smiled slightly when Kyran agreed and then nodded to Kamaria again before she started toward the door herself since she noticed Kyran was holding it for her. She offered him a slight smile as she stepped out onto the porch again and sighed softly. "Thanks," she said quietly before she glanced around a little. She already noticed the absence of Nero and Reyes, which wasn't all that surprising to her. She assumed they were still around nearby, just trying to stay out of sight and out of mind. She glanced down to Kanone for a moment and smiled a little before placing a hand on his shoulder. "...You can go inside, you know, Kanone..." she reminded him gently before she glanced over toward Aamori, Celestine, and the canines. She sighed softyl upon seeing the way Celestine had practically glued himself to Nobu's side and was rubbing his ears.

Kanone raised his head slowly when Hikari put her hand on his shoulder and then offered her a slight smile when she told him that he could go inside. "...Yeah...I'm fine here," he said quietly before he put his head back down again. "...Thanks though...," he said tiredly. He could probably doze off here like this pretty soon given half of an opportunity.

Kyran waited for Hikari to exit the house before stepping out behind her and closing the door quietly. He nodded in response to her saying 'thanks' and then stood on the porch for a moment. He glanced down to Kanone briefly while she started to speak to him and then glanced towards Aamori and Celestine. He sighed softly and started off of the porch and over in that direction. In the process of heading that way he pulled the bandages from the bowl he was carrying and held them out to Aamori once he reached her. "I hope that will be enough." He said as she took them. He looked down at Nobu momentarily and sighed softly before shifting the bowl again. He really did hate seeing Nobu like that and part of him wanted nothing more then to sit there and cling to Nobu's side like Celestine had. He had other things he needed to be doing though and Nobu did have Celestine to look after him and Aamori had been pretty helpful so far, at least with the bandaging and all. He turned slightly and looked back towards Hikari before motioning towards the well. He wasn't sure if she wanted to accompany him or not but he did need to head over there. The faster he got the water for the canines the sooner he and Hikari could do something about Nanashi. After motioning towards the well he went ahead and started walking towards it.

Aamori glanced towards the door momentarily when she heard it open and watched Hikari and Kyran come out. Hikari had washed up, that was good. That reminded her... She sighed softly and turned her hands over a little to look down at them. She hadn't gotten the chance to wash them before and they still looked a little red. It wasn't noticeable that she had had blood on her hands but you could still tell they weren't their natural color. She lifted her eyes from her hands when she heard Kyran as he held out the bandages. She smiled weakly and reached up to take them from him. "This should be fine." She said and then paused to look at the bandages. "...Might even be more here then the other ones, so I might be able to get all of the wounds this time." She said quietly before looking over at Nobu. He looked to be asleep, or at least she assumed he was since he hadn't really moved at all except for the noticeable fact that he was breathing. She turned her eyes back to Kyran momentarily and watched him as he moved away towards the well with a large bowl in hand. She sighed softly and then started to shift so that she could stand up since she was going to need to get closer to Nobu in order to change his bandages. She stared at Celestine for a moment and then smiled very weakly. "...Do you want to help me?" She asked as she waved the bandages in her hands.

LaRae had relaxed quite considerably while no one was bothering her and had really enjoyed the smell from the icepack. She could easily have fallen asleep and wasn't too far from that to be honest but she shifted slightly when she heard someone come back in and sit down. She waited for a few moments before moving the icepack and lifting her head just enough to see who it had been. She smiled for a second when she saw who it was and then set her head back and then returned the icepack to it. She stayed quiet for a couple moments and then opened her mouth. "...Do all of the little packs like this smell this nice?" She asked curiously. "...It's really nice..."

Hikari nodded slightly in response to Kanone when he told her that he was alright out here. She wasn't going to make him go inside, so if he was fine there, she'd let him stay there. She just patted his shoulder again lightly and then glanced at Kyran when he started off the edge of the porch and over to Aamori and slowly started to edge in that direction as well. She really did feel bad for Nobu, and everyone who was really close to him. It hurt her to look at him like that, so she could only imagine how Kyran and Celestine were feeling right now. Once Kyran had motioned toward the well she nodded slightly and then started off the porch and over to the edge of the yard again as well. She glanced over to Kyran again and then smiled slightly and reached for the wooden bucket, which was already attached to the rope, and then carefully started to lower it down into the well. She thought it might be a little faster if she went ahead and got it for him since he only had one hand at the moment. Granted, he could put the bowl down, but she didn't care to get the water out for him anyway. Once she felt the bucket hit the water she pulled the rope a little, trying to make sure the bucket tipped so that it could start filling with water and then once it started getting heavy she started pulling back on the rope again and hauling it back up carefully. Once she got the bucket to the top of the well again she leaned over a little to snag the handle and pull it closer to the edge where she sat it down and glanced back to Kyran with a slight smile. "There you go."

Celestine glanced back slowly when Kyran came back and passed the bandages off to Aamori before he lowered his gaze again. He didn't even look back far enough to see Hikari. He let Aamori and Kyran discuss the bandages, he didn't really have any input on that. For now he just continued to stroke Nobu's fur gently and tried to be as comforting as possible. Once Aamori had addressed him he looked over to her and eyed the bandages a little. His ears laid back slightly, he already knew that meant they were going to have to make Nobu get up. "...Sure," he answered quietly before he looked back down to Nobu sympathetically. He stroked his fur a few more times and then sighed softly as he glanced back up to Aamori again. "...What do you want me to do?" he asked quietly.

Kamaria glanced over to LaRae when she spoke and then smiled slightly. "Yes, most of them do have some scent to them...it depends on your preference. I like flowers, so I usually get ones with a floral scent." She chuckled softly when she said that it was really nice. "I thought you might like that smell...I have another that is scented like mint leaves..."

Kyran continued over to the well and was fully prepared to sink the bucket himself and haul the water out so he was a little surprised that Hikari got to the bucket first and fished the water out for him. It didn't really bother him any though it did lessen the things he had to do and in this case he wasn't sure that was a good thing. He smiled briefly and started to kneel down to set the bowl on the ground near the well. "Thank you." He responded as he stood back up and reached for the bucket. He could have balanced the bowl on the edge of the well and filled it but it would have been his luck to lose this nice woman's mixing bowl to the bottom of the well. He lowered the bucket from the well and started to pour the water into the bowl. He didn't fill the bowl completely but he did fill it about three fourths of the way so that it would be a little easier to carry without spilling any. Once the bowl was filled he returned the bucket to the edge of the well and started to carefully lift the mixing bowl from the ground. Once he was back on his feet he looked back to Hikari and tried to smile a little more sincerely. "After I drop this off we just have to go to the garden, right?" He paused briefly. "Any idea what you think we should fix for him?" He asked mostly for conversations sake and then started to head back towards the house.

Aamori sighed quietly after seeing the way that Celestine's ears had laid back before he answered and then the way he looked at Nobu afterward. "...Taking care of this now will help him feel better." She said quietly. The wounds did need to to be cleaned again since they had obviously bled and it probably wouldn't hurt to let them get a little air since he had been walking for that two hours, give or take. So if anything he wouldn't have to stand up right away. She started to move over to the opposite side of Nobu and knelt down, setting the bandages in her lap before looking at Celestine again. "...Well, you could help get the bandages off so that I can clean the wounds again." She answered. "Then when I'm done, you could help bandage him back up. It'll probably be quicker this time around if I'm not doing everything by myself."

LaRae smiled slightly. "I like flowers too... but then again given the type of dragon I am it could smell like dirt and I'd probably still like it." She said and tried not to laugh since she knew it would only aggravate her head. "I really like the scent of this one, mint is nice too but I think it would probably be a little too strong on the nose when your head hurts like mine does." She said quietly. She was quiet for a few moments more before opening her mouth again. "...I've never really seen anything like this thing before ...would it be hard for me to get one?" She did really kind of like the little icepack and the bonus was the way it smelled. Since she had never seen one before she wasn't so sure anyone outside of the light clan ever owned one so she wasn't sure how easy it would be for dragon from another clan to get one.

Hikari watched as Kyran poured the water into the bowl and then glanced at the bucket as he put it back. There was still a bit inside, so at least it would make for an easy refill once they'd drank it down a bit. She turned her attention back to Kyran when he had started to pick up the bowl and asked if they just had to go to the garden she nodded her head slightly. "Yes, for the most part," she answered as she started to follow after him. She thought about his other question and then sighed softly. "Well...not yet... I guess we'll just see once we get to the garden, I really don't know what she has planted out there right now that's ready to be eaten." She sighed softly, knowing that Kyran was mostly just trying to keep himself preoccupied. She didn't really know what to do for him, so she was just trying to stay with him and keep him company for now and if she could help him keep his mind off of this for a bit. She knew he was upset about Nobu, but there was nothing any of them could do to speed up the process so she really didn't know how to help at the moment other than to focus on other matters.

Celestine sighed softly when Aamori said that taking care of this now would help him feel better. "...I know..." he said quietly. He just wished the process wouldn't be so painful on him. He continued to rub Nobu's ears until Aamori had given him some rather obvious instructions. He just nodded his head a little and then glanced down to the bandages again. After a moment he reached down and carefully started ripping them one at a time. He knew he could have just done it once and unwrapped them, but that almost seemed a little redundant, it was easier to just tear it apart from the side so that it could just be pulled away and slid out from under him. Surprisingly it didn't take him all that long to have the thing shredded into several pieces and completely open on the side. It would have taken him less time if he'd had a knife. He knew he had his blades with him, but he wasn't about to get his blade that close to Nobu, especially not with his current state of uncoordination. Once he had finished he glanced to Aamori again and sighed softly. "...You can slide them out from under him front that side..."

Kamaria chuckled softly when LaRae said that the thing could smell like dirt and she would like it. She shook her head a little and then smiled slightly. "Perhaps...I don't really use that one on my head, it's mostly for when I go and twist my ankle or something of that nature..." She tilted her head a little and then turned her eyes up thoughtfully when she mentioned the possibility of her getting one. "Well, no, dear, I don't believe it would be very hard...they're sold all over. I don't believe anyone has done too much trading with them outside of the clan, but they're not hard to come by here. They are handy little things. The gel in there is naturally cool, but putting it in the freezer helps the effect. It take some really low temperatures to freeze one of those solid, and it stays cold for hours after ice would have already melted." She chuckled softly, "That was why I was a little confused when you asked for ice...I'm just so used to these things, I thought you wanted the ice for something else, I forgot you probably wouldn't know about them. I suppose if you like you can take that one, like I said, I have another, and I can always get another one the next time I go to the market. I don't use them very often anyway." She smiled slightly at LaRae, at least glad the girl seemed to be enjoying the gel pack. "That case it's in is very...rubbery, as well. If you've hurt your wrist or ankle, you can almost wrap it all the way around, but it always eventually goes back to it's original shape."

Kyran kept his eyes turned down towards the bowl while he was walking back to the house. He wanted to make sure he didn't go spilling any of the water, especially after having just filled it. He nodded his head lightly after Hikari answered second question. "It's a good thing you had a friend out here, practically in the middle of nowhere." He commented quietly. He honestly thought that it would be near impossible to coax someone Hikari didn't know personally into letting them crash at their house, especially with two dark dragons in their group. He sighed softly. He was kind of wishing there was some way to hurry through the rest of the territories. He was pretty sure that the prejudices were only going to get worse from here on out. They really were kind of lucky that neither the wind or water territories had caused too much of a problem but unfortunately he couldn't say the same for the light territory when it came to the dark clan. When he finally made it back over towards Aamori and Celestine he paused a little closer to Zale for the time being and started to kneel down so he could set the bowl on the ground. Since Aamori had already gotten them started on Nobu he didn't bother putting the bowl anywhere that it could wind up in the way. "...There's the water. If they need more let me or someone else who has their balance intact know and we'll make a trip back to the well." He said as he started to stand up. He sighed softly and then looked over to Hikari. "Lead the way?"

Aamori sat patiently while Celestine got to ripping the bandages so that they could be removed. She was quiet with her hands resting on the bandages while she watched. Nobu still looked to be asleep, he didn't appear to budge even in the slightest. For now that was probably a good thing, especially if he was getting sleep. She lifted her eyes to Celestine when he finished ripping the bandages and said that she could slide them out from her side. She nodded her head lightly and started to reach for the first strip but paused and took the bandages from her lap and started to pass them over to Celestine. "Hold these?" She didn't really want to have them in her lap while she was trying to get the bloodied wraps off of Nobu. She waited for Celestine to take the bandages before lowering her hands back down to the strips to start pulling them out from under Nobu. She managed to slide one or two clear and work them off of the wound itself as Kyran was walking up with the bowl. She paused her actions just long enough to glance over at the bowl, Kyran and Hikari and then back to Nobu. She went right back to tugging the strips out from under Nobu which really didn't take too long since his whole back hadn't been covered, it had just been the larger of the series of wounds. She had started balling up the strips beside her so by the time she was done she had a little mound. Once she had finished with that she wasted little time getting on with the cleaning. As per usual her hands went together over the area and emitted an aura momentarily before her palms were cased in water. She went straight to work cleaning out the wounds again and honestly wasn't surprised that it barely roused a reaction out of Nobu. He must have really been sleeping. The wounds didn't look as bad as they did the first time she had to clean them but they had very obviously been torn open again from what little they had healed. She sighed softly and continued working, at a slightly expedited pace. She didn't want to take too long on this and didn't particularly want to expose Celestine to the wounds for long if it could be avoided. He was already in a depressed mood, he really didn't need anything added to it. Though she had hoped that his helping might help improve his mood a little because at least he was getting to do something to help Nobu.

LaRae smiled a little after hearing the woman say that she didn't believe it would be very hard for to get one since they're sold all over. That was good to hear. She did really like the thing and the smell was wonderful. It was almost like carrying around your own little bag of flowers and frankly, that would be great for the times when there aren't any flowers or greenery around. Not to mention with as many times as people get hurt or get headaches the little icepack.. thing.. would be useful. She listened quietly as the woman continued in her little explanation of the gel pack. She lifted her hand up to the gel pack and started to move it so that when she lifted her head up it didn't go falling. She was honestly a little surprised to hear the woman tell her that she could take this one. She smiled at her for a moment ignoring that her head was bothering her at all. "Really?" She paused. "You really don't mind if I keep this one?" She asked just to make sure. This was going to save her quite a bit of trouble. She had no idea what the schedule was going to be like now that they were here and she wasn't sure she would have the time to break away from everyone else to go shopping for something like this. She glanced down at the gel pack once more when the woman brought up that it could be wrapped around wrists or ankles. She smiled weakly and eyed her wrists. They were still kind of dark, the bruising hadn't quite gone away yet but at least they weren't as bad as they had been. Her ankles on the other hand... they were probably worse off since she had been walking on them. They hadn't gotten the same break her wrists had. She sighed softly squished the gel pack in her hands a little. She would have loved to have had one of these when she first got her wrists and ankles bruised. It probably would have helped quite a bit.

Hikari smiled slightly when Kyran said that it was a good thing she had a friend out here in the middle of nowhere. "Yes....Kamaria likes the usual peace and quiet..." she said softly, "But I like to sneak out and visit her occasionally... I think it has to get a little lonely living out here alone." She stood back a little as Kyran put the bowl down and then told Celestine that if they needed more to let someone else get it. Once he was ready and asked her to lead the way she nodded and started to walk toward the edge of the house again. The garden wasn't in the immediate yard, it was a short walk into the woods off to the side. She spied Nero and Ryes as she made her way around the house and then glanced back to Kyran doe a moment before continuing toe he edge of the clearing. There was a noticeably worn path through the trees that seemed to be kept decently cleared out. "Come on, it's this way." She told him as she started along the beaten dirt path with a soft sigh.

Celestine watched as Aamori started to reach for the bandages and then blinked whens he passed him the clean roll. He took it and sat it in his lap for now before he glanced up to Kyran when he heard him. He nodded his head weakly and then sighed. "...Thank you," he said quietly before she glanced back down to Nobu again. He watched as Aamori pulled the bandages away and actually cringed at the sight of the deeper claw marks in Nobu's back. He shuddered slightly, the sight of them actually making him hurt just imagining how it felt to Nobu, but he couldn't seem to tear his eyes away from them. He really was glad that Nobu seemed to be sleeping through this, he couldn't imagine this feeling too good if he was awake for it. He absently reached over and continued to stroke Nobu's head gently, careful to stay out of Aamori's way. He noticed that they were going to need to clean Nobu's face off as well at some point, his fur was coated in blood around his mouth. Knowing the way Nobu hated the taste of blood just made him want to stay on that immediately as well, though he didn't have much of anything to work with. He would have loved to find Nobu something he could eat or drink that would get the taste out of his mouth when he was ready...along with something more comfortable to lay on than the ground.

Kamaria laughed softly when LaRae asked her if she could really keep it. "Yes, dear, I don't see why not. From the look of you and your friends I believe it will be of more use to you than it is to me." She knew she could easily get another one, it wasn't as if she desperately needed it here when she already had the other one.

Kyran smiled very slightly at the mention of Kamaria liking the usual peace and quiet. He was used to living in the middle of nowhere, where it was quiet and one didn't have to worry about anyone but themselves. The closest person to the house he and his sister shared was their uncle which was nice but Taro still lived a good distance away. He shrugged lightly. "I couldn't say, I've never really lived alone. It's always been me and my sister, at least when I am actually home long enough to be considered living there." He responded quietly. He nodded his head lightly when Celestine say thank you and then went ahead and started after Hikari once she started to lead the way. He was a little surprised at where they were headed, mostly because he was so used to the gardens being nearer to the houses. He made a brief notice to where Nero and Reyes had seated themselves and continued to follow after Hikari. He continued following after her as she started on the dirt path. "...This is kind of out of the way isn't it?" He asked quietly. "Any particular reason she didn't just put the garden in the clearing near her house?"

Aamori continued working without stopping and finished up the cleaning fairly quickly. The wounds hadn't been bleeding as badly as they had the first time she cleaned them so it was an easier and faster process. Once she had finished cleaning the wounds out she set her hands off to the side, opposite the mound of strips and released the water from her hands. She stared down at that backs of her hands for a moment, almost hesitating before moving them towards the mound of strips. Sure they were already a little bloody but she was sure to find a clean section that she could wipe her hands off on. The process took her a few minutes but she managed to wipe her hands clean enough that they didn't trigger that crazy urge to rub her palms raw. She sighed softly and looked over at Celestine now that she was done and it was pretty much time to finish up and that required waking Nobu up, if they could get him up that is. He had managed to sleep through everything that she had done so she was a little worried that waking him might be nearly impossible at the moment. She sat there for a moment thinking about it and then turned to look over at Zale for a moment. "Is it normal for you guys to sleep like this after you've been injured?" She asked. They hadn't really tried to rouse Nobu but she really felt like there should have been some reaction out of cleaning his wounds, especially since the last time she did it it had bothered him quite a bit.

Zale lifted his head from his paws when he heard Aamori pose a question at him. He stared in her direction for a few moments before lowering his head slightly. 'I can't really say.' He answered. 'I've never been hurt like that so I can't speak from personal experiences... but I don't think it would be that hard to believe we'd sleep deeply while recovering from wounds.' He paused and thought about it for a moment. '...We do have accelerated healing abilities as it is, I guess it would make sense that they might work better or faster if one was asleep through the process... but I'm not sure.' He finally started to lower his head back down onto his paws and swayed his tail a little behind him. 'Nobu will be alright. Don't worry.'

LaRae smiled a little. "...Thank you." She told her quietly and then sighed as she leaned her head back against the couch and placed the gel pack on her head again. "...We do look pretty rough don't we?" She shook her head very slightly. "...It might not be hard to believe but I think we usually come out looking worse then we do now." She said quietly. She wasn't entirely sure what shape everyone else was in but she did know that Celestine, Kanone and herself were hit with the stupid darts and whatever had happened to Hikari left her pretty beat up and bloody and then whatever had happened to Nanashi. She hadn't seen that either but she knew he had been hurt. With that there had been five people hurt and four not which in her opinion could be considered a bad day.

Hikari glanced back to Kyran for a moment when he asked if the garden was kind of out of the way and then tilted her head a little. "...Not really," she responded quietly, "It's just a short walk." She giggled softly when he asked why she didn't put the garden nearer the house. "The clearing isn't that big, I suppose she would have liked to have kept some space for a yard, and a better reason...the river runs by a little closer to this area, it makes irrigation a lot easier." She shook her head a little and them motioned ahead of her. "See? It's not that far." Just up ahead there was a white wooden gate that was nearly waist high and an accompanying fence that surrounded a pretty wide portion of the clearing, one nearly half as big as the one the house was built on. The land inside was plowed and seemed to be fairly clear of weeds, and inside was a pretty wide variety of fruits and vegetables, enough to easily keep one person stocked up for a good while. There ware also one area where water flowed easily though a trench that had been tunneled under the fence and branched out in several directions to reach the different sections of the garden. Hikari moved ahead on the path and reached to unlock the gate and pull it open before stepping through onto the section that had nothing growing and had actually had stones laid out to mark the walking trails. The garden was divided up pretty evenly with different things planted in the same general areas and small paths making them easier to get to through each one. She smiled slightly as she glanced back to Kyran. "She's put a lot of work into this over the years.... It's easier on her to grow most of her own vegetables and fruits so she doesn't have to go to town quite so often. It's a kind of long walk to have to make every week or so, especially carrying things back..." This at least was only a about a three to five minute walk through the trees as opposed to a good two or three hour walk to the city and then back. "Now...let's see...." she muttered softly. She could already tell that there was plenty to choose from. There were all the usual things one would put into a basic salad; carrots, tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, and spinach, as well as potatoes, sweet corn, asparagus, leeks, brussels sprouts, broccoli, strawberries, blackberries, and a few grape vines toward the back. If one looked around the outside of the fence a bit they would likely also notice a couple of apple trees as well as a cherry tree.

Celestine watched in dead silence as Aamori cleaned up the cuts along Nobu's back. He still almost mechanically stroked the poor dog's head as he watched, and almost couldn't believe that there wasn't a response out of him from that. He glanced at Aamori briefly when she went to clean off her hands and then sighed softly and lowered his gaze back to Nobu, at least until she had spoken up to ask Zale a question. Of course, he wanted to know the answer to this as well, so was almost absently pushing to listen to the answer. Of course Zale's voice was absolute murder on his head, but he wasn't so sure how to tune out something that he wanted to hear, so he just closed his eyes tightly and lowered his head while rubbing his temples a little. He didn't know why everyone bothered saying 'don't worry' as if it was really going to make anyone who really cared stop worrying. Worrying was just about all he could do at the moment. He knew Nobu would be alright eventually, but he couldn't help worry about him at the present. Once the throbbing in his head died down a little he slowly opened his eyes and glanced back to Aamori again. "...Now what?" he asked in a quiet whisper. Even his own voice was enough to make his head hurt a little after that, but he couldn't very well communicate many other ways at present.

Kamaria returned LaRae's smile when she thanked her and nodded her head a little. "Any time, dear," she said simply. She sighed softly and her ears laid back a little when she said that they usually came out looking worse than they did now. "...Oh my..." Of course that made her worry, especially seeing as the princess had come to her doorstep in such a bloody mess of a state. "...Well...I am...surprised the lot of you have made it this far if it gets worse than this... Where all have you kids been, and who has been keeping the lot of you pieced together?"

Kyran listened to the reasoning behind putting a garden out away from the house like this and then nodded a little. The river being closer to the garden this way was just about reason enough for him. But then again he was used to the garden being right outside the house just like the small one at his house. He glanced ahead of her briefly after she had motioned ahead and said that it's not that far. Again, he nodded his head a little. It wasn't really that far but considering what he was used to it was far enough. As he neared closer to the garden he was a little surprised by the size of it and that it was as well tended as it was. He had paused by the gate, not bothering to step inside just yet when Hikari glanced back to him and said that Kamaria had put a lot of work into this garden over the years. "It really looks it." He responded quietly. He nodded his head lightly after listening to her go into a mini explanation as to why it was easier for Kamaira to grow her own fruits and vegetables. Again, he could understand that and it probably did make everything a lot easier on the woman. He really was impressed by the garden and it did show that a lot of work had been put into it. He still hadn't bothered to really step into the garden and honestly, he didn't really want to step foot inside unless he had to. From where he was standing though he could tell a little of what was in the garden but at the same time he wasn't an expert at plants so he wasn't like to recognize all of them. "Now that we're here and you've gotten a look, do you have any ideas?" He paused. "The only thing I can see that I even know is good for iron are the carrots..." He added quietly.

Aamori listened quietly to Zale and nodded her head a little in understanding. Thankfully Zale was pretty good at explaining things easily so she didn't have any trouble understanding what he said. She just wished that there had been some actual evidence of how they recovered and unfortunately it didn't look like any of them had been hurt like this before so obviously no one knew anything. Not that she wanted any of them hurt like this to begin with, but knowing for sure would have been nice. She sighed softly and then started to look over at Celestine when she heard him ask 'now what'. She hadn't been paying attention to him while Zale was answering so she hadn't gathered that he had been trying to listen in, at least not until now. She kind of got the impression he had heard that. "You were listening in?" She asked just to clarify. "...I'm not really sure..." She paused. "I suppose we can wait until he wakes up himself to put the bandages back on him... try waking him... or see about having someone hold him up a little, just enough to get him wrapped up." She answered quietly.

LaRae had her eyes shut with the gel pack on her head so she wasn't really paying attention to the expressions on the woman's face. She did get the impression that what she had said probably made the woman worry, at least a little more then she probably already had been. "...We've been quite a few places..." She started. "...Radha, Caledonia, and Kairava for starters of course." She paused. "...An underground tomb of some sort, a poisonous forest, and a strange spire." She sighed quietly. "Those were the dangerous places.. but other then that we've been to Kyran's house in the middle of nowhere, I might add... then Celestine's village, and lastly Aamori's ...well... island, I suppose." She thought about it for a moment, making sure that was pretty much everywhere they had been and then continued. "Hik... er... I mean... Selenity and Kyran kind of keep everyone together though Selenity does it physically as well as figuratively." She said with a small smile. "...We've also had Kyran's Uncle, Celestine and Kanone's Grandfather, Kanone's Mom and Aamori's Elder looking out for us in the respective locations." She paused. "We're usually pretty well taken care of if not with whoever is in the group then by someone one of us knows... which is a relief in itself at times like this." She said quietly, hoping some of what she had said might reassure the woman that they were doing alright and were taken care of wherever they went.

Hikari sighed softly as she glanced over the garden and then shook her head a little. "...Well...there is spinach..." she said thoughtfully, "...I really don't know that much about the nutritional value of most foods, I just eat it." She sighed softly and then glanced back to Kyran for a moment when she noticed that he wasn't coming in with her. Well, she didn't really need him to, but she was kind of hoping for a little more help. She thought he was being awfully quiet, and honestly, she still felt pretty bad for him knowing Nobu was in the shape he was in. She turned back around and reached over to him before taking a hold of his hand and then raising her other hand to his face. She just looked at him for a moment and then tip toed a little and pressed her lips to his cheek lightly. "...Kyran...if you want to go stay with Nobu for a while, it's alright, I can take care of this," she said softly. She was pretty sure that he was trying pretty hard not to act too bothered, but his quietness and reluctance was making it a little obvious to her at least. She smiled weakly and then glanced over to the apple tree. "...You can take him an apple or two and see if he's hungry, I'm sure Kamaria wouldn't mind." She turned her gaze back to him after a moment and ran her fingers back through his hair and then raised her arms to wrap around him tightly, nuzzling her head against his shoulder.

Celestine nodded his head just a tiny bit when Aamori asked if he was listening in, but motion made him narrow his eyes a little as pains hot through his temples. He glanced back down to Nobu as Aamori rattled off their options and then sighed. "...I don't want to wake him..." he said quietly, laying is ears back a little, "...I really don't want to make him get up again...but I don't know if anyone could hold him up that long or if that might wake him..." He sighed again, looking torn between the options. He wanted to let Nobu rest, he didn't want to move him, and he didn't want him to be awake while they put the bandages on him, so that made all of their options suck in his eyes. He gently stroked Nobu's fur again and stared at the gashes got a moment, his ears laying back even more as she shuddered slightly before he raised his eyes slowly to Aamori. "...I don't know...."

Kamaria listened quietly as LaRae explained where they had been and who had been taking care of them. She smiled weakly when she started to say 'Hikari' and then corrected herself. She just shook her head a little and then sighed. "...My...I didn't know that Selenity had taken up healing..." She had known the girl had been reading about it, but she didn't know that she'd decided to take it into practice, though from the sounds of it the girl was doing a decent enough job. Still it was hard to believe that they were doing so well with one amateur healer in their midsts, though the follow up that someone they knew was usually helping them out as well, told her a little. "Well...I suppose that is good..." she said quietly, "...I just hope your luck continues to hold out... Selen almost has to be an amateur at best in her healing abilities, she can only do so much on her own... I hope you'll be lucky enough to continue to find help along the way..."

((Blah... omg...I had this all typed out then fricking lost it...so here's the crap version of what I had before. *smites mom for turning off FF without saving the tabs*))
