Hikari half smiled at Kyran when he wondered off the the kitchen and waited patiently for him to come back and give his answer. "I see... Well...I'm not really sure where we are going next." she said honestly. She crossed her arms and shifted all of her weight onto her left leg.

Celestine looked up to Kyran for a moment and sighed. He saw Nobu move, but he didn't pay attention to where he was going or what he was doing. He shook his head slightly. "From here Caledonia is a two day walk to the north...or one day if we fly, I suppose." He offered up. "I know the way back...there isn't much that you need to do." he said simply. He did not look or sound happy about this at all. Really, he half sounded like he was talking about walking back to go to his own funeral. He did want to go home, but he didn't want to go home, look for this stupid relic and leave again.

Nobu continued on his little mission to find the object that smelt so good, he was pretty sure it was edible and if it wasn't then he'd find out soon enough; That is if he could get into the bag. He kept pushing his nose to the bag trying to get into it. He was clearly having a little trouble. Though he was definitely getting a good whiff of the thing he was after. He finally pulled his head back slightly and opened his mouth before reaching for the bag again. He'd decided it was too difficult to get into the bag while it was next to Celestine. He gently set his teeth into part of the bag and started to jerk it back with him as he backed up a little.

LaRae listened long enough to hear Celestine offer up his territory as the next place to go. She sighed softly and stood up snatching the bowl while she got back to her feet. She'd been watching quietly to what Nobu was doing; Though she didn't bother saying a word. She was pretty sure Celestine would catch on soon enough, that is if Nobu didn't yank him off the couch. She'd heard all she needed to for the moment and stepped around the corner headed for the kitchen. Once she walked in she went straight over to the sink and started to wash out her bowl. She then glanced back over to the breakfast nook to see Nero had moved a little, he was now leaned forward on the table with his hands placed one over the other and then his head right on top. She shook her head lightly as she set the bowl aside after it was clean. She half wanted to go over and wake him up and have him go somewhere a little more comfortable but considering the fact that he was still a little annoyed with what she'd done to a friend of his she was half afraid to even talk to him.

Kyran glanced over at Celestine when he offered up Caledonia and nodded softly. "Alright..." He paused. "Are you sure you're ready to go back? You sound a little skeptical." He asked slightly curious by the way He spoke. His eyes eventually trailed down to Nobu when he noticed the jerking motion. He lifted his hand slightly and pointed at the bag Nobu was trying to get. "...I think you have something in there that he wants." He pointed out just by the off chance Celestine still hadn't noticed Nobu.

Hikari stood quietly, listening to Celestine, though Nobu caught her eye nudging the bag. She half smiled when he grabbed onto the bag and started trying to pull it away from Celestine. Her eyes then went to LaRae as she got up and started back to the kitchen. She glanced down to the bowl of half eaten food on the table and then back to Celestine after he finished talking to Kyran. "Are you finished with that?"

Celestine ignored Nobu for a moment, long enough to answer Kyran. "...Technically I am never ready to go there, but I have little choice in the mater. To save time we need to go in some kind of order, Caledonia is the next closest territory from out current location." he said simply, "I have a good idea where the relic is located...my only concern is making it there without too much trouble." He glanced down to Nobu about the time that Kyran pointed him out and sighed, "I can see that." He said as he took a hold of his bag and pulled back the other way. "Lay off." he said unenthusiastically as if he was trying to protect something that he didn't really care about. He glanced to Hikari and nodded slightly. "Yeah."

Hikari nodded and picked up the half empty bowl, taking it back to the kitchen. She smiled at LaRae when she saw her and sat the bowl down. "That boy certainly doesn't eat much."

Nobu didn't let go of the bag right away, though he loosened his grip on the bag when Celestine started to pull it back. His ears perked up, practically standing straight up when he heard Celestine tell him to lay off. He pinched his mouth together a little tighter but didn't let go, then started to pull back again slightly annoyed. 'Just give me whats in the damn bag and I'll 'lay off''. He transmitted straight to Celestine. Though he didn't expect to hear a response, not many could really hear him unless they were blessed with the same gift. He continued to tug on the end of the bag.

Kyran smiled slightly, holding back a laugh. "My that was a mouthful coming from you." He said quietly. He nodded though in response to what Celestine had said, it did make sense to go to the next closest place. "Okay then, we can head out tomorrow. Whenever you're ready to take the lead." He said simply. He continued to watch Nobu for a few moments longer, tempted to call him back to his side but figured that if Celestine really wanted Nobu to leave him alone then he could get Nobu to leave him alone. He'd decided that he might have to bring Nobu with him on this trip so long as he took Mati and Ajara. So it was best for a couple of the others to try and gain some authority over Nobu. Though if Nobu didn't leave him alone after too much longer he'd have to step in.

LaRae glanced up when she heard Hikari say something. She then looked at the bowl she had set down and smiled weakly. "...He is rather small, perhaps he's just got a small appetite to match?" She said as she took the bowl and started to clean it out. She was done washing it in no time and had set it next to hers to dry. She then turned back around and leaned back against the edge of the sink as she dried her hands off on her jeans.

Celestine blinked when he heard a voice in his mind and released the bag for a moment, though his shock quickly turned to annoyance. He grabbed the bag again and pulled back again, looking at Nobu with a stern and agitated gaze. "I will give you what is in the damn bag when you release it and ask! I am not rewarding you for snatching it out of my bag." He said stubbornly. "Now let go and sit down."

Hikari smiled slightly. "Perhaps... I don't know." she said honestly. She stood there for a moment and then glanced over to where Nero had been sitting before, barely able to see him in the dark. She half smiled and shook her head before walking over to him and putting her hand on his shoulder. "Hey, why don't you go find a beg somewhere to sleep in?" she said as she gave his shoulder a gentle shake. Hikari really didn't care if Nero liked her or not, she'd still talk to him just as much and as easily as she did everyone else.

Nobu let go of the bag mere seconds before Celestine had told to him to. He was nearly as surprised as Celestine must have been; It'd been quite some time since he'd met anyone who could hear him. He just stood there for a moment having taken his head away from the bag completely, and then tilted his head to side as if asking if Celestine had really heard him. He finally sat down and just stared at Celestine with his head still tilted to the side. 'Now, do you expect me to beg like a dog or can ask like the intelligent creature I am?'. He asked still staring at Celestine; The only part of his body moving were his three tails that kept smacking lightly against the floor one at a time.

Kyran relaxed slightly when he saw that Nobu sat down finally like Celestine told him to. He smiled faintly thinking that Celestine wouldn't have any trouble with commanding Nobu. He moved back over to the chair that he had sat in earlier and leaned back, taking the last couple bites from his apple. What ever was in Celestine's bag that Nobu wanted must have been better then an apple because usually Nobu would be all over Kyran right now trying to eat that apple.

LaRae sighed lightly and then watched as Hikari started to head over to Nero. She started to open her mouth to say something but stopped when the words wouldn't come out fast enough. She shook her head lightly and merely stayed where she was, just keeping an eye on them.

Nero's ears twitched slightly when heard the voice closer to him and then shifted slightly when he felt someone shake him gently. He had been out cold so he didn't wake right away. It took a moment for him to come around, when he did he opened his eyes a crack but didn't lift his head. "...Ka..na...?" He mumbled quietly, still half asleep and not realizing where he was at first. He started to lift his head and look around, he noticed Hikari right away and blinked a couple times. "..." He lifted his hand and ran it through his hair roughly for a moment before turning slightly in the chair he was in. "...W-what'd ya say?" He asked in an oddly soft voice for him.

Celestine looked at Nobu evenly and sighed. "That's better..." he said as he pulled his bag back to his side, slipping his hand beneath the flap to feel around inside. "How about both so that Kyran does not think I am insane for talking to you like you can understand me." He sent back to Nobu. "I assume he cannot understand you... It was a lot easier talking to Nobu this way than Aamori since he didn't have to strain to listen to what he said back to him.

Hikari smiled slightly when Nero finally realized who he was talking to. She half wondered who Kana was, but decided not to ask. "Sorry to disappoint you." she said softly ad then added, "I said why don't you go find a bed or something to lay in instead of sitting up at the table all night. I believe we are leaving tomorrow, so you may as well enjoy having a bed at your disposal while you can." she said as she pulled her hand back to let it hang at her side.

Nobu pawed at the ground lightly while trying to sit still and not dive into the bag again while Celestine dug around inside of it. 'Pull out that thing that smells so good and then I'll think about lowering myself to begging, just to keep you from looking like you're crazy.' If Nobu could smirk, he would be right now as he still stared at Celestine. 'He can't hear me, yet.' He paused and pawed at the ground again lightly. 'Only those with the gift can understand me.'

Kyran finished off the apple and left nothing more then the core. He set it down on the end of his leg and watched Nobu. He could tell how impatient he was getting, he was rather surprised at Nobu's restraint. Of course he thought it was a little strange, it seemed like Nobu understood exactly what was being said to him. He shook his head lightly, that wasn't possible; Was it?

Nero shook his head lightly. "No, I'm sorry for thinking you were someone else." He said quietly, still in that same soft tone. He'd had a pleasnt dream and a decent sleep, so he was a little more friendly at the moment. Though that would change as soon as he was fully awake. He glanced back up to her for a moment making sure he understood what she had said about tomorrow, by repeating it to himself quietly. "...Alright. The rooms are upstairs right?" He asked, though he was pretty sure thats where they were. He stood up from the chair and stretched his arms over his head for a moment before letting them drop back down to his sides. He smiled faintly and passed by Hikari and went straight into the living room, going right past LaRae without a word. He stopped in the living room and looked from Kyran to Celestine to Nobu and then continued on up the stairs again with no words. He scaled the stairs with a slight tired wobble and then stopped at the top. He glanced around at the doors, he didn't want to walk too much farther he was still pretty tired so he ruled out checking the last two rooms and looked at the one to his immediate left. The door was shut, obviously occupied. He looked to the right and noticed that door was open. He moved over to it, peering inside for a moment. When he didn't see anyone inside he stepped in and then shut the door behind him. He'd taken the guest room, which was technically the only available room with a bed anyway. He moved over to the bed and didn't bother moving any covers he just laid down right on top of them, on his stomach; Burying his head into the pillow. It wouldn't take him long at all to fall back asleep.

LaRae looked over at Hikari after Nero left the room and shook her head softly. "Well, he was awfully nice for once..." She said quietly before walking over to the doorway to the living room. She stopped and smiled lightly. "I think I'm going to follow his lead and go up stairs to sleep. If we're leaving tomorrow I want to take advantage of that bed for one more night." She said with a soft chuckle as she continued out of the room and to the stairs. She didn't bother stopping or looking at either of the other two and continued up the stairs quickly. She noticed the guest room door was shut as she passed by it and assumed that Nero had taken that room. She walked back into the room that Nanashi was in and smiled softly before shutting the door behind her quietly and creeping over to the bed on her toes. She stood there for a moment just watching him before she actually sat down on the edge of the bed.

Celestine felt around in his bag for a moment and finally found the fruit, guessing by the way he went after the apples earlier that it was what he wanted. "You call this a gift?" he thought as he withdrew his hand from the bag. He held the fruit up and looked at Nobu, "Is this what you're after?" he asked simply as he waved the fruit around a little. "What do you say?"

Hikari smiled slightly to Nero again and shook her head. "It's alright. And yes, the rooms are upstairs." she told him as she backed up to let him get out of the chair. "Good night." she called as he started out of the room. Her eyes wandered back to LaRae again when she said that Nero was being nice. She laughed softly, "Yes...I think he was still too asleep to remember he doesn't like me." she said with a small chuckle. She nodded again when LaRae said that she was heading to bed. "Alright. Good night, LaRae." she said before starting back to the living room herself. She guessed she'd be sleeping down there tonight. Her eyes went down to Nobu and she smiled slightly. "So is that what he was looking for?"

Nanashi was still curled up on his side where LaRae had left him on top of the blanket. He was already in a pretty deep sleep and didn't even stir when she sat down on the bed. She'd told him to catch up on his sleep, so it seemed that was what he was doing. He probably wouldn't wake until morning.

Nobu's ears perked right back up as soon as Celestine removed the fruit from the bag. That was definitely what he had been smelling inside the bag; It smelt even nicer now that it was out where he could get to it. Thought had crossed his mind to just snatch it away from Celestine but he'd decided against that for more then one reason. He knew he wouldn't be able to get at the fruit without biting him, and then with Kyran sitting there he'd just end up in trouble. He tilted his head to the side once again and then inched closer to the fruit. 'Ordinarily I'd say that you're no better then that girl who teases me with apples...' He paused. 'But since I'm supposed to not let you look insane...' His thought to Celestine trailed off and he was silent for a moment before he started to bark much as a dog would; Then his tails started to sway back and forth frantically while he waited for the fruit. 'Satisfied?'

Kyran shifted his glance for a moment when Hikari came back into the living room. He smiled softly and then looked back over to Nobu just about the time that he'd started barking. He shook his head softly. "Okay Celestine, if you're going to give it to him let him have it already. Before he wakes the whole house." He said with a very soft laugh. He started to turn back to look at Hikari. "...I'm going to safely assume that both Nero and LaRae have gone to bed." He paused. "Which then leads me to believe that you now no longer have a bed to sleep in." He leaned back in the chair again. "You can take my bed tonight Hikari, and I'll sleep down here on the couch." She could try and talk him out of it, but he wasn't going to budge on the topic. If he could, he'd keep a woman from having to sleep somewhere uncomfortable; And in this case there was a bed she could take.

Aamori was still asleep outside with her back to the house and her head rested on her knees. She'd been in a pretty deep sleep while trying to regain some of her energy. She started to come out of her deep slumber and shifted slightly causing herself to fall over with a soft thud. She now laid on the ground on her side with her face against the cold ground. She opened her eyes briefly, long enough to see how dark it was outside and then shut them again. She didn't bother lifting herself up or trying to keep her face off the rocky ground. She merely gave a soft sigh and started to go back to sleep.

Celestine looked at Nobu as he griped at him and was just about to toss the fruit to him when Kyran spoke. He glanced over to him for just a moment and then held the fruit down in his palm where Nobu could get it easily. "Close enough." He sent back to him. He reached over with his other hand to rub the top of his head for a second and then pulled it back and laid it in his lap again.

Hikari looked at Kyran for a moment and then shook her head. "No, Kyran, that's alright." she assured him, "I'm not taking your bed." She didn't want to kick him out of his own room and really didn't see how the couch would be much less comfortable. "Besides, didn't you put your blades in there? Nobu may not like me being up there with them without you around."

Nobu wasted no time at all going after the fruit once Celestine held it out for him. He was careful about how he took the fruit, being sure not to accidentally nip his hand while taking the fruit in his mouth. Once he had it he bit in half and then swallowed it. Surprisingly enough the bitter peel to the fruit didn't bother him. His ears laid back slightly when Celestine reached over to rub his head. He stood up when he removed his hand and then tilted his head slightly. 'Got anymore?' He asked as he ran his tongue around his mouth lightly.

Kyran shook his head lightly. "Hikari, you'll either sleep in my room for tonight or we will be up going back and forth about who uses it all night." He paused. "And as far as my blades, I'll take them out and keep them with me. Then Nobu won't be a problem." He said just as he looked back over at Nobu. He was pretty sure that Nobu wouldn't be a problem. Since the blades were shut away in the closet he'd probably just sleep in front of the closet doors so that they couldn't be opened.

Celestine looked at Nobu when he asked if he had more and shook his head slightly. "No, sorry. That was the last one I had." He told him. "There are plenty more in my territory...if you wind up coming with us, I am sure you will get sick of them eventually." He reached over and patted his head again and then stood up. "...I'm going back outside." he said simply before starting to the door again. He didn't even pause long enough to give anyone time to argue, not that he thought that anyone would. Those two were spending all their time arguing over who got the bed. Once he got outside he walked around the house to see if Aamori had ever gotten up to go back inside. He sighed softly when he saw her flattened out in the rocks and shook his head as he walked over to her. He knelt down in front of her and gently placed his hand on her shoulder, giving it a light shake. "...Hey...go back inside or something." He said softly. He knew those rocks couldn't be too comfortable to lay on.

Hikari sighed softly and shook her head before finally holding up her hands. "Alright, alright, Kyran, you win. Geez..." she half smiled and shook her head slightly as she lowered her hands. She glanced to Celestine as he headed for the door and then looked back to Kyran. "Well...since everyone else is headed to bed I supposed we should follow their lead." she walked over to Kyran and gave him a little pat on the head. "Good night."

Nobu watched as Celestine got up off the couch and headed for the door. He'd started to follow behind him but was sidetracked by the smell of the apple core on Kyran's knee. He moved over and snatched the core and then rushed over to the couch and hopped up on it, making himself comfortable before eating the core whole. He couldn't resist even though it was only the core of the apple. He absolutely loved all fruits, vegetables and edible plants. He lowered his head once he finished the core and rested on the couch.

Kyran smiled faintly when he heard that Hakari wasn't going to fight him anymore on this issue; He wasn't sure that he'd have been able to stay awake long enough to argue about it any longer. He glanced at Celestine when he saw him get up and head for the door, giving a soft nod. "...Alright. Good night Celestine." He said quickly as he watched the boy leave the house. He started to look back at Hikari just about the time that Nobu snagged the apple core from his knee. He'd meant to throw that away, though now that was impossible. Once Nobu had a hold of something like that you couldn't get it back no matter how hard you tried. He'd swallow it whole before you could even get close enough to touch it. He shook his head lightly seeing how Nobu made himself comfortable on the couch and then finally looked back at Hikari. He gave a soft smile. "Good night Hikari, sleep well." He said softly before he started to get up from the chair. He was about to walk over to the couch and force Nobu down but thought of something else. He stepped back over to Hikari and gently reached for her hand that had been burned by the relic. He lifted it up so that he could look at it and then he smiled softly seeing that the burn was gone. She'd listened to him after all and had Taro do something about the mark. He released her hand and suddenly wrapped his arms around her to hug her gently. "...Thank you for letting my Uncle look at that..." He said quietly; Nearly in a whisper. He'd felt half bad about her getting the burn that she had. It was from his clans relic after all, so he was extremely relieved to see the mark gone.

Aamori didn't wake right away when Celestine gave her a shake, though her ears twitched lightly when he spoke to her. It took her a moment to register that he was talking to her, but she finally woke up. She slowly opened her eyes and took a moment to lift herself up off the ground. When she sat up right she'd had a couple marks on her face from how long she'd been asleep on the rocks, and even a small pebble was lodged into her cheek. She blinked a couple times and focused on Celestine; Her eyes were now back to their pale blue color which meant her voice was echo-free. She just stared at him for a minute. "...Did you need something?" She asked trying to stifle a yawn.

Hikari was about to turn to head for the stairs when Kyran snagged her hand. She looked back to him and smiled slightly while he examined it. "Yes, Kyran, I listened." she told him before he said anything. Her eyes widened slightly from surprise when he hugged her and then looked up to him when he whispered to her. "Oh Kyran..." she smiled slightly and shook her head before wrapping her arms around him as well. She purred softly as she nuzzled her head against his chest lightly before looking up to him again. "There's no need to thank me for it... It was as much for my own benefit as yours." she said softly. She just stood there, letting him hug her as long as he felt like it. She certainly didn't mind. Once he let go she planned to go on to bed.

Celestine looked at Aamori for a moment and shook his head, reaching up to rub his thumb over her cheek to dislodge the pebble. "No. I just told you to go inside or come up to the roof or something. There's no need for you to sleep on the rocks." he said quietly. He started to stand and then held out his hand to her. "You sound like you feel a bit better."

Kyran hugged her a little tighter when he heard her purr softly as she nuzzled against him. He smiled warmly, not exactly ready to let go. He held her a little while longer before pulling himself away from her slightly. While doing so he leaned down and gently kissed her forehead. "Good night, ...again." He said with a soft chuckle before letting go of her completely. He didn't want to stall her any longer then he had already so he turned and walked over to the couch and gently pushed Nobu down onto the floor, just before taking a seat himself.

Aamori's eyes followed his hand as he brought it up to brush the pebble from her cheek. She shifted her eyes off to the side and then her cheeks went a light shade of red; Slightly embarrassed after realizing what he was doing. She glanced back up to him after he spoke and then looked at his hand before taking it and getting to her feet. She released his hand and then dusted herself off a little. "Oh..." She paused, having not even noticed herself that her voice had changed. "Yes... a little." She wasn't so sure that she wanted to go back inside, she was actually a little more comfortable outside. Though she really wished there was a source of water near by, other then a tub that is. She was always more relaxed around the water. She sighed softly and then shook her head lightly. "...I don't think I'm going to go inside, and I don't want to be the reason why you're not sleeping... So I'll find someplace else to sleep for the rest of the night." She said quietly while averting her eyes.

LaRae was still sitting at the edge of the bed even now. She couldn't resist just sitting there watching him sleep. It was rather nice to see him relaxed. She smiled softly and finally decided to go to sleep. She carefully and quietly turned and crawled into place so that she could lay down. She laid on her side and then snuggled into the pillow. She wasn't completely tired, she'd slept a lot today but she relaxed pretty quickly so it wouldn't take her too long to fall asleep.

Hikari closed her eyes and smiled while he held her and just rested her head against him until he pulled back a little. She looked up to him and laughed softly when he kissed her forehead again. "Good night, Kyran." she said softly. Once he released her she turned and headed for the stairs, glancing over her shoulder once to smile at him before hurrying up the steps. She walked down the hall way quietly, pausing in front of Kyran's room for a moment before going inside and sitting on the bed. She removed her pack finally and then took off her boots before laying down and stretching out under the covers. She wanted to take a quick shower before they left, but she guessed in the morning would be a good enough time for that.

Celestine shook his head as he dropped his hand back to his side. "Stay at the house, if I get tired, I'll leave." he said simply. "...I'm not tired now, anyway...I slept practically all day..." He shook his head slightly and then glanced away. "Besides...if I'm up all night it won't be because of you..." He said dryly. "...We're leaving in the morning." he informed her, "And we're heading for Caledonia."

Kyran watched as Hikari headed up the stairs, all the while with a warm smile on his face. Once she was no longer in view he gave a soft sigh and glanced down at Nobu who'd lifted his head slightly. "...You're going to behave tonight aren't you Nobu." He said quietly, in a rather stern voice. Of course he just wanted to avoid Nobu freaking out even in the slightest because Hikari was in his room, and not too far from the blades. He lifted his hands slightly and started to unbutton his vest. As he reached the last button he leaned forward a little and tried to slip out of it. He sighed heavily when he realized this vest was going to be a pain in ass and not come off as easily as it had gone on. He finally gave up and pulled it back on over his shoulders and just left it unbuttoned for now. He leaned back and swung his legs up onto the couch. Unfortunately he didn't really fit the couch, he was to tall and his feet hung off the armrest. He did his best to get comfortable and then shut his eyes gently.

Nobu nodded slightly when Kyran asked him if he was going to behave. He understood nearly everything anyone ever said to him, but they didn't know that. He wouldn't have given any reaction at all, but he knew Kyran was tired and not really paying any attention to him other then to speak once. He figured by the way Kyran and that girl were a moment ago that should he do anything to the girl at all, it would be his head. Though, as long as the blades remained untouched there was no problem. He rose to his feet and stretched slightly before glancing over at Kyran trying to rest on the couch and then quietly started to make his way for the stairs. He went straight up them with ease, and with little to no sound at all and walked all the way to Kyran's bedroom door. He peered inside since the door hadn't been shut behind the girl; He stared for a moment seeing that she'd laid down in bed. He turned slightly and plopped himself down on the floor right outside of door with his back towards the interior of the room. He set his head down gently after looking around for a moment. He wasn't asleep, though with no eyes it might be hard to tell. He was just relaxing, guarding the room and it's contents.

Aamori glanced back up at him after he said where they were going and gave a soft sigh. "...Are you ready to head back home?" She asked softly. She wasn't too surprised that they were heading for Caledonia, it was closet after all. She knew that she wasn't looking forward to returning to Kairava, so she was somewhat curious as to how he had felt about going home. She shifted her glance again thinking to herself 'You shouldn't have to leave...'. Of course she didn't want to be anywhere near him if he was tired, not because she didn't want to have to experience his dreams and nightmares but because she hated him having to stay awake the rest of the night to keep it from happening again. She sighed softly and brought her eyes back up. "...I'm not really all that tired right now either. I've slept a lot today too." She said quietly. She was actually somewhere in the middle, she could easily stay awake and then she could easily fall back asleep if given the chance.

Celestine looked at Aamori silently for a moment when she asked if he was ready to go home. He sighed softly and shook his head before looking away again and crossing his arms over his chest. "...Are any of us when it comes to this?" he asked quietly. He just sighed and looked back to her again finally and then glanced up. "...Come on." he said softly as he wrapped his arms around her, barely giving her time to protest before he opened his wings and flapped hard a few times to lift them into the air. Moments later their feet touched down on the roof and he released her. "At least up here we can sit down without anything jabbing us." he said before taking a seat by his weapon which he'd left up here since they got here. He sighed again and just placed his hands in his lap, looking out over the barren land to the North; the way they were going to be going in the morning.

Aamori sighed lightly. "...Kyran didn't have to leave Radha and come back... Though, regardless of that little bit of difference he didn't seem that bothered by our task..." She said quietly. She looked at him when he said 'come on' and was quite shocked when he wrapped his arms around her and helped her up onto the roof. She didn't say anything right away, she was at a loss for words. She turned away from him slightly once they were on the roof and gave a soft sigh. "...You didn't have to do that..." She mumbled as she stared down at the ground. She knew her wings were weak compared to the others, but she was capable of some flight. Of course she'd struggle the whole time but she thought she could get herself onto the roof at least. She stood quietly for a moment before turning back and walking closer to him. Though she gave a decent amount of distance this time. She moved right over to the edge of the roof and hung her legs over the side. The roof was definitely a more comfortable place sit, compared to the rocky ground. She thought a little more about going to Caledonia and sighed heavily. Of course they had to be going somewhere mountainous where the use of their wings would probably be unavoidable. At times like this she really wished that she'd used her wings more often, then they'd be stronger. She couldn't even fathom what she'd have to resort to if she couldn't carry herself. She finally glanced back over at him. "...So how long has it been since you've been home?" She paused. "This is the first time I've been away from Kairava..."

Celestine glanced at her when she said that he didn't have to do that. He just nodded slightly. "Then next time I wont." he said simply, since apparently she didn't want help. He guessed she needed to strengthen her wings anyway. He sighed softly and closed his eyes as he sat there in silence, at least until she spoke. he nearly jumped and opened his eyes again, looking over to her with another sigh. "...I only left Caledonia to come here... I'm not even sure why I came." He shook his head. "...But as far as home...I guess I haven't been there in...about four years." he said quietly. "...I used to live in Kimura village..." he said quietly. "...That was the place that you saw in my dream. I was...seven or eight when that happened. I only stayed there for two years after that. Then I just couldn't take it anymore." He looked away again, staring off into the distance again in silence. "...I suppose will have to stop there....or at least near there... I think I know where the relic is, but I've forgotten how to get there." He sighed heavily again and finally just fell over backwards, stretching his arms out to each side and closing his eyes. "...I dread this..."

Aamori glanced at him when he answered her question. Though she looked away again. She set her hands on the ground behind her and leaned back on her hands slightly. "Ordinarily I might have asked why you left home and have been gone for that long, but I already know the answer to that..." She said quietly. She glanced over at him briefly again. "You know, in a way that dream sharing thing benefits you..." She paused. "...You didn't have go telling me about everything." She smiled faintly and then looked back towards the ground. She knew Celestine wasn't too much of a talker, unless it was something important. So his dreams saved him a lengthy explanation. Though, at the same time she couldn't help thinking that he wouldn't have spoken about it at all, if his dream hadn't told everything for him already. She sighed softly. "...If you're dreading this, then why aren't we going somewhere else next? I'm sure we could've gone to another territory before yours." She said before sitting up straight and then leaning forward slightly. She was pretty sure the reason that they were going to Caledonia next was because it was the closer of the neighboring territories. At the same time she was nearly positive that if he'd voiced not wanting to go back just yet that everyone else would have complied. Well, at least she thought three others would've said 'ok' and they'd be heading somewhere else. She finally gave a small shrug. It was a little late now to bother trying to change what was already decided; She just wished there was a way to make Celestine feel a little more comfortable about going back.

Celestine didn't bother to raise his head or open his eyes at first. "...I suppose it would be a good thing...if I wanted anyone to know int he first place." He said dryly. He listened to her a moment longer as she asked why they weren't going somewhere else first. "...It is the closest. We are on a time limit, it would be too time consuming to dodge all around it only to have to come back to it. I am never going to be quite ready to so back..." he sighed heavily and opened his eyes. "...So we may as well get it over with now..."

Aamori nodded absently. She'd known why they were going to Caledonia next, though she'd nearly forgotten about the time restraints that were given. Given how at ease everyone seemed to be, and the past time spent here at Kyran's house she wasn't surprised that she had forgotten. She gave a soft sigh, having run out of things to talk about. She was careful about the topics she chose just because she'd wanted more then a 'yes' or 'no' answer half of the time. She finally gave up and let laid herself back on the roof and relax a bit. She didn't bother bringing her legs up and continued to let them hang off the edge of the roof.

Celestine remained silent after Aamori didn't say anything again, and remained that way for the rest of the night. He never really did get to sleep, or if he did it was too short lived for him to dream. By morning he'd finally just given up on the notion of sleep and sat up near the edge of the roof. He had both legs drawn up to his chest and his arms wrapped around them with his chin resting on his knees. He didn't bother Aamori just in case she had finally gone back to sleep. He was just waiting for everyone else to get up.

Hikari woke up early in the morning, opening her eyes as soon as the sun happened to come across her face. She sat up and stretched before yawning and climbing out of the bed, thinking now was as good a time as any to go get her shower out of the way. She moved to the door and paused when she saw Nobu laying there. She couldn't tell if he was asleep or not, but either way she tried not to disturb him and just stepped over him carefully before proceeding to the bathroom.

Nanashi was still fast asleep, curled up in the bed where he'd been the night before. He was still pretty tired and probably wouldn't wake up until nearly noon if someone didn't want him up before hand.
