LaRae stood there for a moment just staring at her shirt before she took a few steps away from the close line and then carefully sat down. She was a little more uncomfortable outside in the dress, she was afraid of getting it dirty or something. But she didn't want to go back inside right away either. She'd been cooped up in the house for practically the whole day. She also planned to sit here at least until her clothes were dry enough that she could put them back on.

Aamori startled when she felt someone touch her shoulders and nearly jumped out of her skin. She relaxed right away though seeing that it was only Kanone. She glanced up at him for a moment since he'd asked what she was doing and then looked away. "...I'm just sitting here." She paused. "I thought that much was obvious." She said with a sigh. "...And what are you doing?" She paused. "...Don't tell me you came out here just to find me..."

Kanone just grinned and flopped down on the ground beside her, bracing himself by putting his arms out behind him. "Alright. So um...what should I tell you?" he asked with a chuckle. "I haven't noticed you back around the house since this morning, I thought I'd best come out and make sure nothing tried to eat you." he said lightly. "So what's up, anyway?"

Celestine was finally starting to rouse himself a little. He groaned quietly and finally rolled onto his back, releasing his hold on Nobu. A few moments later he opened his eyes slowly and yawned as he raised his hands to his eyes to rub the sleep from them. He turned his head and glanced over to Nobu, as usual unable to really tell if he was awake or asleep. "...Thanks, Nobu..." he said softly with a weak smile before he finally set up again. He was rested for now at least, though he could probably still stand to sleep through the night.

Aamori glanced over at Kanone once he'd sat down next to her she shrugged slightly. "Well, you could've said you were out walking and just happened to notice me." She said quietly. She shifted slightly and looked back down at her feet. "Make sure nothing tried to eat me huh?" She paused. "The only thing around here that's tried to hurt me in anyway are those stupid flowers... and I doubt they're going to grow legs and come all the way up here to get me." She paused and gave a sigh. "And the sky is what's up." She said just as she was lifting her hand and pointing up with her index finger.

Nobu didn't budge until Celestine had let go of him. Once he was released he lifted his head slightly. He was awake, and had been for a short while. '...I should be thanking you.' He paused. 'I got to sleep in a bed twice and this is so much nicer then the basement I used to sleep in...' He commented. '...But you're welcome.'

Kanone just rolled his eyes. "Alright, I was out walking and I just happened across you." He said sarcastically. He shook his head and rolled his eyes at her after her last two comments. "Well you never know those plants can be pretty ferocious this time of year." He said with a laugh. "And alright, miss technical, I will rephrase 'what's up' to 'why the heck have you been sitting out here by yourself all day?'"

Celestine smiled slightly and reached over to rub the top of Nobu's head again gently and then slowly started to get up. He blinked and glanced down to Nobu again, tilting his head slightly. "...Have you eaten at all since yesterday?" he asked him, though he had a feeling that when he was outside he hadn't left the porch. "Hold on, I'll get you something." he said as he rubbed his head again. He slid off the bed and started to head for the door. He thought they had to have some form of fruit in the house somewhere. He could probably stand to eat an apple or something himself.

Aamori continued to just sit there staring down at her feet, watching the water running over them. She probably looked like she wasn't even paying attention to him, she was... just barely. She was quiet even though his little plant joke and hadn't bothered to look over at him even once. She finally moved slightly, turning her palms up in her lap; She glanced down at them for a moment. "Kanone..." She paused. "...Have you ever ...killed ...someone?" She asked in a rather saddened tone while still staring down at her hands.

Nobu looked at Celestine. 'No, I haven't.' He watched as Celestine got off the bed after he rubbed his head again and then headed for the door. '...You don't need to get me anything.' He called after him. Sure he hadn't eaten since the previous night but he didn't think he needed to trouble Celestine for anything to eat. He could just go pester Kyran for awhile until he got the hint.

Kanone just sighed and shook his head since she wasn't really paying attention to him. He was about to just get up and head back to the house when she finally spoke. He blinked and stared at her for a moment. "That's...an odd question..." he said softly, though he could tell by her tone that she was serious. "...No...not yet." He said softly, "Though I'm sure that I will someday..." He said softly. He held out his arm to show her the silver bangle that he wore around his wrist. "See...this is a warrior bracelet." He said with a weak smile, "My father fought to protect the village when it was in danger so... that's what I do. So far I've been lucky but...eventually luck will run out." He looked down at her hands again and noticed that they looked a little raw. "...Why do you ask, Aamori?" he asked as he reached over to take one of her hands.

Celestine glanced back to Nobu and shrugged. "...I was going to get me an apple or something anyway. It's no more trouble to carry a coupe more." He told him before starting out into the hallway. He left the door open in case Nobu didn't want to stay in there and just started for the stairs. He glanced around the living room when he reached the bottom of the steps and shook his head. Well at least he didn't have to say anything to anyone in here; the ones who weren't sleeping weren't even paying attention to what world they were in. He just started for the kitchen and glanced over to Sonia. "...Is there any fruit?" he asked simply.

Sonia glanced back to him and smiled. "Oh, good evening dear. Did you sleep well?" she asked as she pointed over to a basket on the edge of the counter that was full of apples. "I just picked those a couple of days ago." she told him, "They've already been washed."

Celestine just nodded to her when she asked if he slept well. When she pointed out the apples he just went over to grab a few, getting one for himself and three more for Nobu.

Sonia blinked when she saw how many apples he was getting. "...Are you hungry, dear?"

"These aren't all for me." He said simply as he started back toward the hallway again, "Thanks."

"Um...anytime, dear..." she said a bit unsurely. what in the world was he feeding, everyone else had just eaten not even an hour ago.

Aamori still sat there being quiet even when he started to answer her question. She gave a sigh though, when she heard him say he hadn't yet. She glanced over briefly when he held out his arm out to her and she looked at the bangle on his wrist for a moment before her eyes fell again. She gave a slight nod after listening to his little story behind the bracelet and then went quiet and motionless for a little while; Not even bothering to look at him when he took her hand. She hesitated for a moment not sure wether or not she really wanted to answer his question. She heaved a heavy sigh. "...Because..." She paused and nearly choked when she took a breath. "...I-I ...killed someone..."

Nobu was still laying on the bed when Celestine left to get some food. He was half tempted to follow after him but now he had a whole bed to himself; Even if only while he was gone. He moved towards the center of the bed and sprawled out, taking up a great deal of space.

Kanone stared at her for a moment when she finally answered his question. Did he hear her right? He shook his head and raised his other hand to her face. "Whoa...whoa... Don't just say that." he said gently, trying to get her to look at him by applying a little pressure to her cheek with his hand. "What happened? I know oyu didn't just out of the blue up and kill someone for no reason..." Or at least he hoped not...and he really hoped that the someone wasn't someone here.

Celestine just held the apples gathered in his arms as he mounted the stairs again and walked down the hallway. He laughed softly when he saw Nobu sprawled all over his bed and just walked over, dumping all of the apples but one onto the mattress. "Here." he said simply as he sat on the edge of the bed.

Aamori still hadn't looked at him though it was inevitable when he put his hand to her cheek and moved her face. She looked at him for only a second before dropping her eyes off to the side. She really didn't want to look anyone in the eyes right now she was having a hard enough time trying not to cry about it so making eye contact wasn't going to help matters. "...I-I ...d-didn't mean to..." She mumbled. "...I-I made ...a geyser... it.." She paused and choked again. "... ...I-It ..burned him... alive."

Nobu looked at Celestine when he came back into the room and didn't bother moving. He tilted his head slightly to the side when the apples hit the bed and he looked back at Celestine. 'You mean I don't have to beg this time?' He was only poking fun. He moved slightly and snagged one of the apples off the bed and tossed it up into the air a little before jumping slightly at it and eating it whole. He couldn't help the way he ate apples, it was a force of habit from years of Minako tossing them into the air and making him jump for them.

Kanone just looked at her and his ears fell back slightly. He could tell that she was really upset. Normally he would have probably shied away from the situation since he really wasn't the overly sensitive type, but he couldn't bring himself to. She apparently needed to get this off her chest and he was the only one around to listen. He nodded slightly when she said what had happened. Well that was one hell of a way to die. "...Okay..." he said softly, "...So it was an accident..." he repeated, basically telling her what he gathered. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders lightly, "...Who was it, Aamori? It's alright.... you can tell me what happened."

Celestine glanced back to Nobu and shook his head. "Not unless you want to." He said with a half smile. He watched him toss the apple and catch it in his mouth and then laughed softly again. "I suppose you prefer doing trick to begging." He said simply. He reached down to pick up one of the other apples and tossed it into the air a little ways just to see if Nobu would catch it.

Aamori shook her head slightly. "...I-It wasn't a complete... accident..." She mumbled. "...I-I was... conscious of what... I was doing.." She added then balled up her fists slightly. She really wasn't sure that she wanted to talk about this, but she needed to stop mopping around out here and couldn't think of any other way. She'd hoped that he had at least killed someone before, to comfort her based off personal experience. She took a deep breath and then released her fists a little. She hesitated when he asked who it was; She was still a bit embarrassed to be this torn up over killing a human and a hunter no less. She turned her head away and stared down at the ground. "...It ...was a ...hunter ...a human..." She mumbled then her ears fell slightly.

Nobu tilted his head and watched as Celestine went to take one of the apples. Of course his tails had started to wag a little and the instant that Celestine tossed it into the air Nobu jumped up and snatch it before it even started to come back down. He swallowed that apple whole too and then looked at Celestine. '...I blame it fully on Kyran's sister... Years of silly little tricks and I can't help doing them..'

Kanone stared at her for a moment and then nodded slightly. "Ahh... I see..." he said softly. He was quiet for a moment before he finally pulled her a little closer with his arm. "...You know...it's natural to be upset the first time you ever kill something..." He said softly, "I can't tell you from personal experience but... well the first time my father ever had to kill a hunter...he went and tossed his cookies in a bush." he said with a weak smile. "Just...think of it this way... It's no more than what he would have done to you. I've always been told there is one divine right in life and that is the right to protect yourself, your family, and the people that you care about. That's all you were doing." he said softly.

Celestine shook his head at Nobu and picked up the other apple with a slight smile. He seemed a little better spirited now that he'd gotten some sleep. "Well, it is interesting to watch." he admitted and then waved the apple in the air. "So...you you fetch, roll over, and play dead, too?" he asked playfully before tossing that apple up as well.

Aamori gave a sigh then dropped her head lightly against him. She couldn't say she felt completely better about it but there was some relief in at least saying what happened. She shut her eyes and was quiet for a moment. "...That wasn't the first time..." She said quietly. "...I-I helped the others kill before..." She paused. "...It was a creature that time.." She mumbled and then went quiet again. "...I did a poor job of protecting myself in the first place..." She muttered quietly after the last thing he said. She gave a heavy sigh. "...I'd probably be... dead... if it weren't for Celestine..." She said quietly. "...I-I.. just froze.. when I saw them..." She went quiet yet again and didn't say anything else. She was already starting to think she shouldn't go into too much detail about any of the stuff that had happened and already she'd said a mouth full.

Nobu stared at Celestine, it probably would have looked more like a glare if his eyes had been open. 'I'm glad you find this interesting...' He half muttered. 'And yes... Unfortunately I do fetch, roll over and play dead...' He didn't move until Celestine had tossed the last apple into the air and repeated what he had before making sure to eat the apple whole before sitting down and looking over at him again. '...Though of the three I think I've had it with fetch...' He commented referring to the relic he was asked to fetch.

Kanone just let her rest her head against him and moved his hand up to pushed her hair back slightly. He listened to her quietly and smiled weakly when she said that she would probably be dead if not for Celestine. "...He has a habit of coming to the rescue..." he said softly. He gave her shoulders a gentle squeeze and sighed softly. "...Aamori...I don't know what kind of journey you guys are on...but judging by what you've said and by where you're going... There is only going to be a lot more trouble along the way." He finally turned himself slightly and raised his other hand to her face, letting her hand go. "...Look at me..." he said softly, "You're only doing what you have to...do you understand?" he said with a weak smile. "...Just remember that... and try not to get so down about it... It's alright to feel bad... but don't let it eat you alive."

Celestine smiled weakly and reached over to rub Nobu's head again. "I was only playing..." he told him. He sighed softly and shook his head, "Yes...well hopefully you won't have to fetch anything that was left in another territory again..." he said softly. He sat there for a moment and then finally just set the fourth apple down in front of Nobu's nose. "Here." he said simply. He'd gone down there and gotten the thing, but by the time he'd gotten back up the stairs he'd lost the urge to eat it. He was still pretty full from the monster pancake this morning.

Aamori didn't say anything else right away, she was listening to Kanone and trying to gather her thoughts. She gave a soft sigh hearing him say that there was going to be a lot more trouble along the way. She knew that much already. She was about to open her mouth to say something but she stopped when he put his other hand to her face and told her to look at him. Her eyes were still cast off to the side, but she did finally drag them up to look him at least for a moment. She just stared at him long enough for him to finish what he was telling her before her eyes darted off to the side again. She gave a sigh and then lifted her hands to move his away from her face. "...It doesn't bother me as much ...when it's a creature.." She paused. "..It's.. just.." She paused again not quite sure how to word it. "...I guess... people.. would be the proper term.. ... ..It bothers me.. I-I took someone elses.. life." She glanced back down at her hands. "...And... the blood..." She clenched her fists shut again. She really was bothered when it came to killing a human, or dragon like herself. Not so much when it came to animals and creatures, or Guardians like Nerian; Those were different.

Nobu glanced up at Celestine after he'd rubbed his head. '...Yeah... Thats what Minako said to me when she taught me all those tricks...' He said lightly. Minako really did picture him more as a dog then anything so of course he was trained like one. He just gave a nod of his head; He really didn't want to have to carry anymore of the relics. Having one lost somewhere inside his digestive system was enough for him. He looked at the apple when it was set down in front of his nose; As soon as he was given the okay he went ahead and tossed it into the air and ate it. 'So.. what are you going to do now?'

Kanone lowered his hand when she went to move it away from her face. He sighed softly and shook his head slightly. "...I'm no good at this kind of thing, Aamori." he said simply as he pulled his arm back. "...I know what you mean... humans have a stronger conscious than most of the things you'll come across... so that makes it harder to live with killing one." he said simply, "...but look...it's done, and there is no undoing it. You can sit around and mope about it or you can try to make up for it....somehow." He shook his head and ran his hand back through his hair again. "...You know...Celestine was there...why don't you go talk to him?" he suggested, "I'm sure he's probably a lot more insightful than I am."

Celestine smiled slightly when he watched Nobu eat the last apple. "At least I was only watching the tricks and not trying to teach them." he said simply. He sighed heavily when Nobu asked him what he was going to do now. "...I really don't know..." he said softly, "I have to get to that temple, but I'm not sure how to find it..." He shook his head and glanced over to Nobu again reluctantly. "...I may need to...sleep without your help tonight..." he said quietly. "...But you're welcome to use the bed."

Aamori gave a sigh. "...I can't talk to him about this. Not right now." She said quietly. "He's got enough to worry about and he certainly doesn't need to listen to me..." She commented. She started to glance over at him and stopped, then stared at the water. "...I'd almost forgotten about all of this too..." She started. "...It all suddenly came back after I cleaned up a scrape on Celestine's chin... The blood from that was left on my hands... and it reminded me of when those hunters ended up dead... I left the area with their blood on hands..." She unclenched one of her fists and stared down at it for a minute. "...I didn't even realize when I was washing my hands earlier today.. that I had vigorously rubbed them raw trying to get blood off... that wasn't even there..." She sat quietly for a moment and then finally looked back over at Kanone. "...I know you said you weren't any good at his.. but thanks for at least listening, Kanone." She paused. "...I think I'm going to sit out here for a little longer, so you can back home."

Nobu shook his head slightly. '...That's right ...you were just reaping the benefits of me already knowing the tricks.' He joked. He tilted his head to the side when Celestine started to talk about going to a temple. He hadn't really been paying too much attention to the specifics on where they were going. He just kind of followed. 'I understand.' He paused. 'But I think I'll sleep outside since you don't need me tonight.'

Kanone looked at Aamori sympathetically an sighed softly when he looked down to her hands again once she mentioned them. He sighed softly and shook his head slightly before that crooked little grin of his crept back to his face. "...Hey, don't worry about it. That's what I have ears for..." he said simply. He looked back down to her hands again reached down to take the closest one to him again before pulling it up closer to his face. He just leaned down and kissed the area that she's rubbed raw lightly and then released her hand again. He then wrapped his arm around her again and gave her a tight squeeze. "You'll be okay." he told her finally, "But you aren't going to do yourself much good staying out here thinking about it all night." he told her before he finally stood up again. "It's starting to get late...don't stay out here too long, okay?"

Celestine sighed softly and nodded. "...Alright, suit yourself." he told him. "I really don't mind sharing the bed though, it's too big for just me, anyway." He raised his hand up to rub his eyes again and then glanced to the window. The sun was already starting to lower again. "...Heh... I just got up and it's already time to go back to bed..." he muttered quietly.

Aamori glanced down when he reached out to take her hand and watched as he pulled it closer to his face. She glanced away when he leaned down and kissed her hand. She was trying not to smile; Even when he wrapped his arm around her. She gave a soft sigh. "...Yeah... I know..." She said quietly before glancing up at him once he'd stood up. "...Okay." She paused and looked down at the water. "...Even if I did stay out here for a long time... It's obvious someone will come looking for me... er.. I mean.. someone will just happen to walk by and notice me." She said with a very faint chuckle.

Nobu looked at Celestine and shook his head alittle. 'I'd stay if I could, Celestine.' He paused. 'But if you're wanting those dreams to happen it'll be better for me not to be anywhere that I can touch you. If I fall asleep too, there is no telling... I could end up disrupting the images on accident.. and that would ruin it for you.' He then started to get down off the bed and look back at him again. 'I can control myself pretty well when I'm awake, but if I'm asleep and sense that you're restless.. and we're touching.. my subconscious would probably try to help relax you.'

Kanone smiled and nodded, "And you might somehow end up thrown over someone's shoulder while they head back to the house to get some shut eye." He said with a grin. He laughed softly and shook his head. "One hour, little missy." He said simply before walking back toward the house. It would be dark by then, so if she wasn't back he was coming out to look for her again.

Celestine nodded slightly to Nobu and smiled weakly. "...That may have been part of the reason that I wanted you to stay..." He admitted before standing up. He knelt down by Nobu again and scratched him behind the ears for a moment before wrapping his arms around his massive neck. "Good night, Nobu." he said before releasing him and standing up again.

Aamori glanced over at him briefly when he said she might end up over someone's shoulder. She stuck her tongue out at him and then turned away again thinking he'd have to catch her first. There was no way that she'd willingly end up being carried like that. She gave a sigh hearing that he was only giving her an hour. She then laid back on the ground and stared up at the sky.

Nobu tilted his head to the side hearing what Celestine said. 'If you need to have these dreams then I'm not going to give you an easy out, Celestine.' He merely leaned his head against Celestine when he wrapped his arms around his neck. Which was his best attempt at returning the hug. 'After you've had this dream that you need to have, if you want to get some decent sleep then just come and get me.' He paused. '...And, good night.' He then turned and started towards the door.

Kanone sighed as he went hack to the house and shook his head as he climbed the porch steps. He glanced over to Nero again and stood there for a moment before he half smiled, "You plan on sleeping on the porch this time?" he asked lightly. He was still a little freaked out by Nero, just because the guy seemed so unfriendly all the time, but he still wasn't afraid to talk to him. As long as he didn't long a limb from it, he didn't care to do a lot of things.

Celestine nodded slightly to Nobu and watched him go before sitting down on the bed again with a heavy sigh. He shook his head and looked over to the window again. He really didn't feel like going back to sleep just yet, especially since Nobu was leaving. He finally just stretched out on the mattress and lay there staring up at the ceiling silently. He was seriously starting to think about going for a walk, but it seemed like every time he walked outside he got mobbed by crazy girls.

Nero glanced up briefly when he heard Kanone. He looked over at him and then tilted his head back down. He wasn't in a bad mood or anything, he was actually quite relaxed and had been enjoying how quiet it was. "You don't need to concern yourself with where I sleep." He said lightly. For the most part he preferred it when people just ignored him, it saved him from having to be social; Which wasn't exactly his strong suit.

Nobu made short work of getting to the stairs and descending them. Though he didn't quite make it to the door since he'd looked around at everyone else. He could probably try and get the door open himself, but then he'd stand the chance of waking those who were already asleep and he really didn't want to do that. He wandered over to the door finally and sat down on the ground next to it. Someone was bound to open it sooner or later and he'd be able to slip outside.

Aamori continued to lay on the ground for a bit before heaving a heavy sigh and rolling over onto her stomach and resting her head against her folded arms. She was at least feeling a little better then she did earlier. So talking about everything appeared to have helped a little, so far.

Kanone smiled slightly at Nero and nodded. "Okay..." He said simply, though he continued to stand there, "You don't talk too much, do you?" He asked with a slight smile. "Every time I see you you're off hiding in a corner." He laughed softly, "We don't bite too hard, I promise." He told him lightly.

Hikari sighed softly and finally raised her eyes from the ground to lean her head back against the sofa. She just happened to turn her head to glance over to Kyran when she noticed Nobu sitting at the door beside her. She smiled slightly and stood up, walking over to the door. "Hey, there, Nobu." she said as she started rubbing his head. "I didn't know you were in here."

Nero had kind of assumed that after what he said that guy might leave so when he continued to stand there, then proceed with another question he looked up again. He glanced back over to Kanone and gave a soft sigh. "No, I don't." He paused. "There is no point in wasting your breath if you have nothing to say." He commented. He just stared at Kanone for a moment longer; Did it really seem like he was hiding in a corner? No. He was just getting away from everyone. He wasn't on this mission to get buddy buddy with everyone, so he was just trying to act like he normally would. Though, the more he was around the others in a relaxed environment he'd start to notice that they weren't all that different, other then outward appearances. That was probably why he kept distancing himself from the others when he got the chance; He didn't want to wind up liking any of them. He'd never hear the end of it once he got home.

Nobu glanced up and at Hikari when he heard her speak. He stood up and his tails swayed behind him slightly while she rubbed his head. He may not have been too thrilled about having to tag along on this trip to keep an eye on the blades but all the attention he was getting was starting to make up for everything. He turned his head towards the door and stared at it for a moment before glancing back up to Hikari. He really thought trying to tell people things was a lot easier when he could just talk to them, but he wasn't going to go around broadcasting that he could speak and clearly understand everything being said around him.
