Hikari laughed softly and smiled as she wrapped her arms around his and stood up trying to tug him with her. "Yes please, I'm starving."

Nanashi's cheeks when red when he felt her lips against them and he glanced over to her shyly with a wear smile. "...I'm glad." he said quietly as he continued to rub her back.

(Omg skip)

The next three days were relatively boring and uneventful. Celestine was steadily getting better and could now at least open his eyes and talk as he well as move around a little, though he still hadn't tried to sit up or get out of the bed and was complaining with a massive headache that still hadn't gone away. That burn had increased as the numb feeling went away, so as he regained the ability to move he commonly took to clinging to the bed sheets or someone's hand for dear life. Luckily, that was starting to go away as well.
Nanashi had been siting to LaRae like glue and almost never got out of her sight. he was still obviously worried about the mark on her back and had been pretty quiet since after he went to talk to her, but he still hadn't thought of any way to help her other than to try to keep her from overusing her powers any more.
Hikari had been doing a good job of not pestering anyone. She'd only asked LaRae one more time if he was alright and if the mark growing meant anything, but beyond that she didn't bombard her with questions. she had gone to sit with Celestine a few times, but she had trouble saying anything to him since he seemed like he was in so much pain and there wasn't a lot that she could do for it. When she wasn't with Celestine she was usually with Kyran or occasionally trying to tack down Nero to offer him food.
Marius has still been spending the majority of his free time sitting in with Celestine, though he had at lest finally started to go to bed at night rather than sit up all hours.

Aamori spent the majority of her time in the room with Celestine, over the course of the three days that had passed. She rarely left the room and when she did she wasn't gone for very long. She still hadn't said a word, or rather she hadn't tried to. She started to get used to no sound coming out every time she tried to speak. Seeing that Celestine was steadily getting better, at least lightened her spirits a bit. When the next morning finally rolled around she was asleep sitting on her knees like usual with her head leaned against the side of the bed; Which was how she'd spent the last couple nights.

Nobu hadn't left the room too much either over the days that passed. Though he spent just about as much time on the floor as he did on the bed, making sure that he got up to stretch frequently. Once morning came he was awake with his head rested on Celestine.

Kyran had gone to check on Celestine a couple times over the course of the days that passed. Though he never really went into the room, he mostly stood at the door way and looked in. There seemed to be more then enough of them that actually sat in the room with him, he didn't think he needed to, too. When morning came he was still very much asleep up stairs in one of the spare bedrooms, curled up slightly on the bed.

Nero had been trying to keep to himself for the most part over the days that passed. Though he couldn't seem to escape Hikari when ever it was time to eat. At the last night he finally decided to just up and leave for a little while. He spent the night outside off somewhere that he thought was far enough away that they'd all leave him alone. Though, when morning did roll around he wound up on the porch outside of Marius' house. He was sitting there like he usual did, relaxed and being quiet.

LaRae finally did end up giving in and explaining everything to Hikari, that she'd explained to Nanashi. She only did it because she knew Hikari had been holding back trying to talk to her about it and thought telling her was better then having her continue to ask about it. At least she assumed Hikari would ask a few more times if she didn't get an answer and if not her, then surely Kyran was bound to inquire. The aching in her back from her marking subsided completely after the first night and she was fine, as if it had never happened. When morning came she was asleep of course, in one of the other spare rooms.

When morning came, Celestine opened his eyes again and blinked a few times when he realized the sun poured into his eyes. He slowly raised his arm and rubbed his eyes slightly to clear them. He glanced over to Aamori for a moment and then looked at Nobu. He sighed and rubbed the top of Nobu's head. He swallowed a few times, finally starting to realize how thirsty he was. He hadn't really had anything to eat or drink since he got here since he couldn't hold it. He gently pushed against Nobu's head and finally started to try to sit up. He was so tired of laying there and he was pretty sore from not moving around a while lot. His shoulders cracked loudly when he put his weight on them and he gritted his teeth a little as he forced himself up to a sitting position. Once he was up he leaned forward and gasped for a few moments ad if just that little movement was enough to wear him out. He didn't want to wake Aamori up, and he really just wanted to get up for a while before he went crazy laying there.

Hikari was curled up in the bed with LaRae with her arms wrapped around one of her arms. She had ended up sleeping in there with LaRae since Marius seemed to have a think about girls and guys sharing a room. She didn't really mind though, she liked LaRae well enough, of course she was probably getting tired of waking up to her clinging to come part of her.

Nanashi was asleep in the room with Kyran, though he had come up there later than Kyran had, as usual, and was sleeping in the floor. There was enough room for him int he bed, but he didn't want to invade Kyran's space too much. He felt awkward enough just rooming with him, but he beat the heck out of rooming with Nero. He was just stretched out on the floor well away from the bed he wouldn't be stepped on when Kyran decided to get up. He probably could have stayed downstairs on the couch and been a lot more comfortable, but he didn't want to be int he way if he woke up later than the others.

Marius was still in his bedroom asleep, this time with the door closed. He had stayed up fairly late the night before sitting with Celestine, but he went to bed sometime in the wee hours of the morning. He would probably still be asleep for a few hours yet.

Aamori stirred slightly when she heard the loud cracking noise and then felt something moving on the bed. It didn't take a whole lot to wake her at the time, she'd mostly been half in and out of sleep every time she tired to sleep anyway. After a few moments she started to lift her head up from the bed and then started to rub her eyes lightly before she even bothered to open them and focus on anything. Once she lowered her hand back down to her lap she glanced over at Celestine and smiled slightly, pleasantly surprised to see him at least sitting up.

LaRae probably would've stayed asleep longer, but she tried to roll over away from Hikari and couldn't seem to get her arm free; Which wound up waking her up. She woke up a little groggy and took her free hand to rub her eyes softly before glancing over at Hikari. She shook her head lightly with a faint smile on her face. She didn't know how Kyran could continually put up with Hikari's clinginess when she was asleep. She was at least thankful that Hikari hadn't clung to her tail, she could have just seen it. She'd go to roll over onto her side and roll right off the bed and have her tail pulled in the process. She gave a soft sigh and continued to lay there quietly; Hikari was bound to wake up sooner or later.

Kyran woke up after not too much longer and as he sat up he of course looked straight over to the floor to see Nanashi asleep on it, yet again. He shook his head and then started to get up, stretching his arms out over his head before he started towards the door quietly. He slipped out and then wandered down stairs to the living room and straight over to the couch to sit down.

Celestine turned his head slightly to look at Aamori and smiled weakly as he tried to catch his breath. He pulled his knees up slightly under the cover and rested his elbow on his knee as he leaned his head forward to rest in his hand. His head was still hurting and after doing without sitting up or eating for three days he was a little light headed on top of it. He shifted his wings slightly, trying to stretch them out a little. He looked over to Aamori again finally and reached over to place his hand on her shoulder. "...You're...still here?" he asked quietly. His voice was still a little hoarse, but at least he sounded better.

Nanashi didn't wake when Kyran left the room, he was still pretty tired, and the sun hadn't reached him yet to make him stir. He just nuzzled his face into his arms a little more when Kyran stepped out of the room.

Hikari only slept for a little while longer. Finally she opened her eyes and then yawned. She nuzzled against LaRae's arm for a moment, obviously not realizing what she was holding, and then opened her eyes again. She blinked when she realized what she was doing and her cheeks turned a light shade of pink before she let go. "Oh... I'm sorry." she said as she rubbed the back of her head slightly and offered her a weak smile.

Aamori gave a nod of her head. '..Yes ...But I can leave if you want me to..' She mouthed, then averted her eyes. It wasn't showing but she was rather angry that she still couldn't seem to get her voice to work, even now when she wanted to be able to speak the most. She had really hoped to have her voice back by the time that he was able to speak himself, so of course at this point she wanted to just rip her vocal cords out.

LaRae moved her arm as soon as Hikari let it go and then started to sit up. She glanced over at Hikari and shook her head lightly. "It's alright." She paused. "No harm done." She said quietly. She swung her legs over the side of the bed and then lifted her hands up to gather her hair and pull it around in front of her. She gave a light sigh as she started to run her fingers through her hair trying to straighten it out and get rid of the tangles she acquired while sleeping.

Kyran continued to sit on the couch for a few minutes before he ran his hand through his hair then stood up. He started walking towards the room where Celestine was, thinking he'd check in on him while there weren't too many people awake to check on him. He came to a stop at the door, like he had been the past couple days and leaned against the door frame with his arms crossed lightly over his chest. He was a little surprised to see Celestine was sitting up, but that was a good sign at least. He smiled a little and looked from Aamori to Celestine briefly. "How are you feeling today?" He paused. "Think you can stomach something to eat, or drink?" He asked knowing full well that Celestine hadn't had either. Now that he was thinking about it, Aamori hadn't had much of anything herself the past couple days.

Celestine stared at Aamori for a few moments and then shook his head. "...I did not understand a word you just said." he said bluntly, "I can't read lips or minds right now." he told her with a soft sigh. He offered her a weak smile and looked away. "...You're diving me insane... It's not natural for you to be so quiet...for this long." he said softly. He raised his head when he heard someone else approaching and looked at Kyran when he spoke. "...Better..." he said quietly in answer to his first question. He simply nodded to answer about the food and drink. He pulled the cover away from his feet and turned himself until his feet were handing over the bed and then stopped to take another breather before he started trying to push himself up. He didn't know if he would be able to stand, he didn't expect that he could since he could barely sit up, but he at least had to prove to himself that he couldn't. He just wanted out of this bed for a while.

Hikari smiled slightly at LaRae when she sat up and watched her try to straighten out her hair. "I have a comb." she told her as she got up and slipped off the bed, going to the other side of the room once her feet hit the floor. She pulled the little ivory comb from the front pouch of her bag and then walked back over to LaRae and held it out to her. She smiled when she sat down beside her again. "You know... I never did get around to braiding your hair." she said with a soft laugh. "Would you like me to?"

Aamori looked back over to Celestine when he said that he didn't understand anything she'd said. She gave a heavy sigh after listening to him say it wasn't natural for her to be so quiet. She stared at him for a minute before throwing her hands up in defeat and just falling onto her back. It wasn't like she was purposely not talking and she couldn't figure out what to do to bring her voice back. She was just so sick and tired of not being able to talk. She continued to lay on the floor not really paying attention to anything else and she had a rather annoyed look on her face and she was clearly running off at the mouth but again, no sound. Though, one probably wouldn't want to hear the words that were coming out of her mouth anyway.

Kyran stayed by the door after hearing how he felt and then acknowledged his response about something to eat, and drink. He watched as Celestine moved his legs over the side of the bed and then glanced down to Aamori. He quirked a brow seeing how fast her mouth was moving, but he wasn't able to understand very much of what she was saying. Though after catching a couple words he'd come to the conclusion he didn't want to know. He shook his head lightly and then looked back over to Celestine. "...Don't strain yourself too much."

LaRae's hands came to a stop briefly when she heard Hikari and she glanced towards her. She watched her go to get her comb and then slowly pulled her fingers from her hair. She looked at the comb when she held it out to her and then reached out to take it. "..Thank you." She said quietly. She looked over at Hikari after what said said and gave a light sigh. "That was only because at the time I didn't want to share the mark on my back. I was almost certain that you'd ask about it if you sat there able to see it while messing with my hair." She paused and then held the comb out to her. "...But you know about it already, so I guess you can braid my hair now."

Celestine glanced over to Aamori when she fell backwards and stared at her for a moment before shaking his head. He glanced up to Kyran and sighed softly. "...I've...been laying here for...I don't even know how long... I just...want to get up for a while..." he said as he finally got to his feet. He kept his hands braced on the bed to steady himself and took a few more deep breaths. He was extremely sore, both from where he crashed into the stone wall days before and also from just not moving for that long. He tried to take a step toward Kyran, but as soon as he put all of his weight on his left leg he yelped loudly and it just gave out from under him. Before he had time to grab onto anything he'd fallen right on top of Aamori. Apparently, he had badly injured his leg when he collided with the wall, he he was in so much pain at the time and so preoccupied with get thing the relic and getting out of there that he barely notice. He definitely noticed now that he'd tried to walk on it again. He gritted his teeth as he tried to push himself up off of Aamori. It was a good thing for her that he was so light.

Hikari smiled as she took the comb back and moved back on the bed to sit beside her. "Heh...you were probably right." she said with a soft laugh as she gathered her hair back behind her again. "I suppose I do ask too many questions. I used to drive my teacher insane asking so many questions. He said that he could never get a lesson in edgewise." she said with a smile. She started at the bottom of LaRae's hair and slowly started to pick her way up it with the comb. "I love your hair, I wish mine would lay down like this sometimes. Mine always just wants to go 'FLOOF' and curl and wave everywhere." she said with a smile.

Aamori still hadn't been paying attention to much, she was still too busy running off at the mouth quietly. Though it was impossible for her not to notice when something fell on top of her. She made a small squeak of a noise and started flailing her arms around a bit before opening her eyes to look at what fell on her. Once she saw it was only Celestine she felt rather silly for reacting the way she had. She paused and took a breath. "...Um ...Are you alright?" She asked quietly as she averted her eyes. She wasn't hurt or anything but that did definitely startle her and she'd even blushed very lightly seeing as he'd fallen on her. She also had yet to even notice that she'd actually spoken, she had been so upset about not being able to say anything that she completely didn't notice.

Kyran gave a nod to Celestine. He could understand wanting to get up and move about. No one liked to be stuck in a bed for that long. He watched as he got to his feet. He kept watching and then glanced away momentarily when he saw him falling straight for Aamori. He shook his head lightly and pushed himself up from the door frame and stepped into the room a little. "I'd say I told you so, but I think you already got the picture." He paused when he heard Aamori speak and smiled slightly, maybe it was a good thing he fell on her if she managed to get her voice back. He stood a couple feet away and watched as Celestine tried to push himself off of her. "...I assume from that display that your leg hurts..."

LaRae rested her hands in her lap once Hikari had taken the comb back and started to gather her hair. She sat there quietly with her head tilted down slightly. "...I don't really think there is a problem with asking questions. I just think there is an appropriate time to ask certain questions." She commented quietly. She couldn't help but chuckle a little at her comment about her own hair going 'floof' everywhere. She smiled slightly. "...My hair only lays flat once it's been brushed. After I've slept on it, and slept really well.. my god.. it's a giant nest for small animals." She paused. "...And you wouldn't believe how many small twigs and things one can pull out of that lump of hair your messing with." She said with a soft laugh.

Celestine pushed himself up slightly off of Aamori and nodded weakly as he pushed himself up. He felt his eyes watering both from pain and embarrassment. "Y-yes..." he glanced back to Kyran for a moment and then just sighed as he fell over against the bed. 'I've been laying in a bed for days after getting slammed into a stone wall everything on me hurts!' he thought as he nodded in response to his comment. He didn't really want to be a complete ass...even if he did half want to throw a lamp at Kyran right now. He guessed no one had thought to check him for broken or fractured bones until he was awake enough to complain about the fact that he couldn't walk. He absently moved his hand to the area on his lower leg that hurt and closed his eyes. All he'd wanted to do was get up and get out of here for a while. He could only stare at the same wall for so long. This was complete torment for someone who didn't even like to be indoors.

Hikari smiled slightly at her comment about there being a right time to ask certain questions. "I have to ask whenever I get a shot because usually by the time I get the one out I've thought of about three more." She laughed softly after her comment about her hair. "Oh, I could believe it." she said with a soft laugh as she pucked a few small twigs from LaRae's hair that had apparently been stuck there since she collapsed in the forest. She she finally got all of her hair straightened out and then began parting it as evenly as she could manage in two places before she laid the comb down and started twisting it together in a lose braid.

Aamori waited until Celestine was off of her before she started to sit up. She looked over at him once he was against the bed and then shook her head with a heavy sigh after picking up on his thought. "If everything on you hurts then why the hell did you get out of the bed!?" She paused after she said that and lifted her hand to her mouth lightly, having only now realized that she'd spoken. She was relieved that she'd found her voice; It was so hard communicating with anyone without it. "...When did you hit a stone wall?" She asked quietly, feeling a little silly for asking. She honestly hadn't seen when he hit it and was too out of it to even register anything that happened after she saw the hydra yank him out from in front of her. She started to get to her feet and then glanced over at Kyran. "...Maybe you should see if Hikari is awake?" She paused. "She'd know best what to do."

Kyran watched as Celestine got up and then leaned back against the bed. He acknowledged the nod and then looked over to Aamori wondering what brought on what she'd said. He was pretty much clueless since he hadn't picked up on Celestine's thought. He tilted his head slightly at her question of when he hit a stone wall. He hadn't seen it either, sadly. He shook his head slightly when he heard Aamori say that he should see if Hikari was awake then gave a nod slightly. At this point he was almost wishing he'd just stayed on the couch, rather then get up to check on him. He gave a small sigh and started out of the room and towards the stairs before anything else could be said to him.

LaRae continued to sit there, as still as she could while she waited for Hikari to finish with her hair. "...Well, I guess that makes sense." She said quietly. She was just glad that she didn't have very many other things that Hikari could inquire about. The mark on her back was pretty much the biggest thing she tired to keep secret. She gave a soft sigh. "...So how many twigs this time?" She asked curiously.

Celestine turned his head slightly to looked at Aamori when she spoke, again revealing that she'd been hearing his thoughts. "...Because...I was tired...of laying there..." He muttered quietly, "I've been hurting...ever since I've been conscious, and t-that's...not even including the bones." he muttered quietly. He shook his head slightly when she asked when he'd hit the wall. "While I was flying through the air...after that thing released me..." he answered bluntly. Was it really that hard to figure out when he'd hit? He didn't really expect that anyone had noticed him hit, but he'd at least thought they could figure out when he hit. He really wasn't sure he was up for Hikari coming down here, but he didn't complain. If she could make it to where he could get up he would almost kiss her right now.

Hikari glanced down to the bed and laughed softly. "Seven." she answered lightly as she finished braiding her hair. "Hmm... Oh shoot I forgot to get a hair tie. Here, hold this." she said as she passed the braid around to the front and waited for LaRae to get it before she got up and went to get in her pack again. She found a small black hair tie and went back to LaRae again to tie off the end of her hair. "There. I think it looks pretty good on you." she said with a smile.

Aamori watched as Kyran left and then looked back down to Celestine. She was quiet while she listened to him, then gave a sigh. She really hadn't known just how badly he was hurting since he hadn't voiced it. Let alone what exactly was hurting him. She looked away when he answered her question about when he hit the wall. She was quiet for a moment. "...Well I apologize ...for not witnessing that." She paused. "...But after that thing grabbed you ...I thought you were ...d-dead." She paused again, obviously a little saddened. "...I was a little too busy ...crying ...because I thought I ...lost you..." She mumbled quietly. By the time she finished her last sentence she'd turned herself around so that she wasn't able to see him.

Kyran continued down the hall and straight to the stairs. Once he'd scaled them he wandered over to the door to the room the girls were staying in. He paused at the door and knocked on it. "Hikari, are you awake?" He asked through the door. He assumed that she must have been since he could hear a little talking through the door. "I'm sorry to bother you, but Celestine could use some help." He added lastly.

LaRae looked over at the end of her hair when she handed it to her and took a hold of it. She waited while Hikari searched for a hair tie and then looked at her when she came back and tied off her hair. "Thank you." She said lightly before glancing over to the door when she thought she heard someone knock on it. She smiled slightly when she heard Kyran's voice, of course asking for Hikari. She was about to open her mouth to say something but paused when she heard him continue with something about Celestine. "...I wonder what's wrong..." She mumbled quietly.

Celestine's ear twitched slightly and he looked back to her again, only to see the back of her head. "Aamori..." he said quietly, shaking his head. "...Is that...why you were being...so quiet?" he asked quietly. He was straining to talk without giving away that he was hurting; his legs was throbbing after he'd put pressure on it and it was only just starting to let up. He pulled his hand away from his leg and reached back to her, gently resting his hand on her back. "...You shouldn't cry over me... we...don't even like each other...half of the time." He tried to smile at her, but she wasn't looking so he gave up on that. "...I don't die...very easily... That's twice now that I should have." he said quietly.

Hikari smiled at LaRae and nodded slightly. "You're welcome." she said lightly. She looked back to the door and smiled when she hears Kyran, but her smile faded when he said something about Celestine. "Yes, Kyran, I'm awake." she called to him before she glanced back to LaRae again. "...I don't know." she said quietly as she started for the door. She hoped that he hadn't' taken a turn for the worst; he'd been doing so much better. She opened the door and looked up to Kyran. "What's wrong with him?" she asked as she backed up and went to put the comb back in her bag. Once she'd put that up she just grabbed the whole bag since she had a feeling that she might need it and didn't want to have to run all the way back upstairs.

Aamori continued to stand there quietly for a few moments before taking a couple small steps forward so that he couldn't touch her anymore. She still hadn't turned around or even looked back at him. She sighed and lifted her arms up to cross them over her chest lightly. "...I guess you're right." She started. "...With as much as we fight..." She paused. "I don't know what came over me." She said quietly and rather calmly. She let her arms back down to her sides and then she reached for her holster and started to untie the ribbon before turning slightly to walk over to him so she could hand it to him. "...Here."

Kyran smiled slightly when Hikari opened the door and then glanced over at LaRae briefly before looking back to Hikari. "He tried to get out of the bed and as soon as he put his weight down on his left leg he fell down." He gave a light sigh. "...From what I over heard between him and Aamori, he apparently hit a stone wall when the hydra threw him..." He said quietly. "Unfortunately I don't think any of us thought to check him for broken bones, or anything like that..."

LaRae looked to the door once Hikari had opened it and smiled faintly when Kyran looked at her. She sat quietly listening and then sighed heavily at the mention of Celestine hitting the stone wall. "...Yeah, he hit over near the entrance to that temple..." She said quietly. She'd just barely caught sight of that from where she was standing. She was a little surprised that Kyran obviously hadn't known about it.

Celestine looked at Aamori for a moment while she spoke and then sighed softly. He turned his eyes back to his knees again and then looked up again when he noticed the ribbon out of the corner of his eye. He stared at it for a moment and then smiled weakly, obviously glad to see that he hadn't lost it. He raised his hand slowly to take it, but rather than just take the ribbon he took a hold of Aamori's hand from underneath. He looked up to her for a few moments before he finally shifted positions slightly and leaned his head into her hand. "...Thank you..." he whispered quietly, "...for staying with me."

Hikari cringed slightly after what Kyran told her and then glanced back to LaRae. "...I didn't see where he landed... He was walking the next time that I saw him, so I just didn't think about checking his bones." she said quietly. She sighed softly and offered LaRae a weak smile. "Guess I'll be back in a bit." she said before she started toward the door. She couldn't believe she hadn't even thought to check on that before. Of course they hadn't done a lot of things. The poor boy has been laying there in the same bloody clothes for all of that time, of course it wasn't like he had anything else to wear here. She was at least glad to hear that he was able to get up on his own, even if he couldn't walk. That was a big step int he right direction at least.

Aamori gasped when he took hold of her hand rather then just taking the ribbon. She looked down at him and then averted her eyes when he leaned his head into her hand. She couldn't help the color that had made it's way to her cheeks. She sighed softly and continued to keep her eyes everywhere but on him. "...Someone had to do it..." She mumbled quietly.

LaRae nodded weakly and then looked back to Hikari. "...I'd have said something about it, but like you said... He was walking... Then I was out cold.." She said quietly, followed by a sigh. She shifted slightly and then laid down on her stomach across the bed so that her feet were hanging off the side, and her arms were holding up her head.

Kyran looked between LaRae and Hikari and then sighed heavily. He felt badly for not noticing. Then felt a little worse for not thinking to check Celestine. He shook his head lightly and then stepped back so he was in the hall more, so Hikari could move past him. "Hopefully there won't be anything too terribly wrong with him." He paused. "I'm pretty sure he's getting irritable from being stuck in the same place this long..."

Celestine kept his head in her hand for a few moments before he sighed softly and finally let his hand side down to the ribbon. He curled his fingers around it and then let his hand drop to his side and he finally went to lean against the side of the bed again. "...I'm still glad it was you..." he said quietly. He closed his eyes for a moment and then raised his arm up to the bed and slid his good leg under him while he tried to push himself up to get back on the bed, but he gave up on the idea rather quickly and just sat back down before he got up too high off the floor. He knew if he kept trying that he was just going to hurt himself again.

Hikari looked back to LaRae again and smiled slightly. "It's alright, LaRae." she said softly before she stepped out of the room. She looked up to Kyran and half smiled. "...What doesn't make him irritable?" she said lightly and then sighed, "...I would probably be getting pretty restless if I were him, too. Especially since he doesn't seem very fond of the indoors." She started down the hallway and back toward the stairs again. "....And don't worry, as long as it's bodily hard related I should be able to handle it... I just can't do anything with poisons yet." She sighed as she reached the living room and started toward the hallway.

Aamori glanced back to him briefly when he released her hand and took the ribbon. She didn't say anything, and watched for a moment when he started to try and get back on the bed. She shook her head lightly, thinking for a moment about commenting that he shouldn't move around but refrained, then turned to walk over to the chair to sit down. She lifted her legs up into the chair and loosely wrapped her arms around them while resting her head to her knees.

Kyran gave a nod and then started to follow after her as she started for the stairs and then towards the hallway. "Even so, he's obviously not feeling back up to par... He shouldn't be up moving around too much. At least in my opinion." He said with a sigh. "Oh... and if you can get him mobile again, I think I'm stuck making something for everyone to eat again.." He said shaking his head with a soft laugh. "...Well, that is unless I could coax LaRae into making something instead."

Celestine looked over to Aamori again for a moment and then closed his eyes again with a soft sigh. "...I'm sorry." he said quietly. He hadn't really meant for her to get all depressed over what he said, he just didn't want her to cry, especially not because he was hurt or whatever.

Hikari nodded slightly in agreement. "Yes, he still needs to rest..." she said and then laughed softly, "That shouldn't be too hard." she said in response to him getting LaRae to make them something. She finally stepped into the room and blinked when she saw Celestine in the floor still. She shook her head slightly and walked over to him before she set her bag down and knelt beside him. "Well, you're looking better." she said with a slight smile. "So...what's hurting?"

"...It would be a shorter list if you asked what doesn't." he said simply as he opened his eyes again.
"Okay, what isn't hurting?"
He sighed quietly and shook his head. "...My horn." He said a little sarcastically. "...Most of of the things on my left side hurt...mostly my leg." he said simply before he closed his eyes again.

"Alright, alright." she said softly as she reached for his left leg. She gently started to tug his pants leg up and made a face when she saw the deep purple bruise along the outer side of his leg. It started just a little above his ankle and extended well past the point on his knee where she had stopped rolling up his pants. "...Well looks like it's swollen..." she said quietly as she gently ran her first two fingers down the front of his leg.

Celestine gasped sharply and bit his lip when she ran her fingers over the area that was hurting him. He did have a small break on his shin, probably from the way that he landed after he hit.

Hikari stopped when she heard him gasp and felt around that spot a little more before she sighed. She looked over to her bag and dug around in it for a moment before she found the bottle of the green paste that Taro had given her. She thought for a moment while she tried to remember what he'd told her to do with it and then opened the cap and got some out into her hand before she carefully stared to apply it to his leg around the break. Once she had it on the put the cap back on the container and held her hand over his leg, letting that pale glow take over her hand so she could give the cast a bit of a boost while it hardened. She could almost kiss Taro right now. She haded healing bones because it was so energy consuming.

Celestine opened his eyes again when he felt the glup on his leg and looked at Hikari oddly. He was just about to ask what the heck she was doing when the stuff started to harden and push the bone back into place. "Ahh!!" he yelped before he closed his mouth and clenched his jaw shut while he dug his claws into the bed. He closed his eyes tightly and let his head fall back as he suck in a breath through his gritted teeth. 'Oh vengeful gods and deceitful deities that hurts!!!'

Aamori continued to sit there with her rested against her knees until she heard Hikari come into the room and then noticed Kyran standing in the door like before. She glanced over at her and then listened to the brief back and forth between them before shaking her head lightly. She lifted her head finally when Hikari started looking at his leg. She was still surprised that so many days had gone by and no one had even thought to look at him a little more closely. She watched a little more closely when Hikari pulled out the stuff that Taro had given her. She hadn't seen when Taro used that stuff on LaRae so of course she was a little curious as to how it was going to help. To her it looked like nothing more then some green gunk. She continued to sit there watching, at least until she heard Celestine yelp. She really hadn't seen where anything was causing him pain but she assumed it had to be something that Hikari was doing. Her ears twitched when she picked up on Celestine's thought yet again and then quietly got up from the chair and walked straight over to the door and pushed Kyran to the side so she could slip past him. She didn't want to sit there and listen to him in pain anymore then she already had. She wandered out to the living room and over to the couch to sit down. She sat on it much the same way she'd sat in the chair in the other room but this time she'd buried her face into her knees and placed her hands over the back of her head.

Kyran came to a stop at the door frame just like he had before and watched quietly from where he was standing. He shook his head lightly when he saw the size of the bruise on Celestine's leg. Now more so then before he'd wished the thought had crossed his mind to have him get looked at. But forth most in his mind was the worry over the poison, at the time. He was quiet still when Hikari fished out the stuff his uncle had given her and was about to open his mouth to tell Hikari she should forewarn Celestine about the stuff, but she'd already applied it and started to speed up the process. He shook his head lightly after Celestine yelped and then he shifted his glance over to Aamori when he noticed her get up. He watched as she came closer to him and was about to ask her what was wrong but she'd already pushed him out of her way. He stumbled back a couple steps and then straightened up before quirking a brow as he watched her go down the hall to the living room. He gave a heavy sigh and then just went back to leaning against the door frame. If she'd pushed him like that just to get out of the room then he really didn't want to even go find out what was wrong.

Hikari finally lowered her hand and looked at Celestine with a weak smile before she scooted around to the side of him and wrapped her arm around him. "I'm sorry." she said softly. "Healing bones is always painful business." She smiled weakly and moved back a little. "Here, let me check your side again." she said softly as she reached down to lift his shirt again. "We need to find you some different clothes..." she muttered quietly. She looked at his side and sighed heavily when she saw another large bruise extending over most of his side as well. She gently felt around his ribs and sighed. "There...well at least you don't have any broken ribs." she said softly.

Celestine glanced over to Hikari when she put her arms around him. "Y-you know...you could have...w-warned me...b-before!" he said through gritted teeth. He sighed when she said that she wanted to check his side and winced a little when she touched the bruise. "...Yay me..." he muttered quietly when she said that he didn't have any broken ribs. He sighed and slipped back slowly, stretching out in the floor with his injured leg still pulled up a little the way that Hikari had left it. "Uhg...just....stab me and get it over with..." he groaned.

"I don't think so. We've put too much effort into saving your tail to put you out of your misery now." she said with a slight smile. She laid her hand on his forehead and gently stroked his hair. "You'll be okay soon." she told him quietly.

Kyran finally pushed himself up from the door frame and took a couple steps into the room once Celestine had stretched on the floor. He looked down at Celestine and half nodded in agreement with Hikari. "I haven't flown like that in years, I'd hate to think I did it just so that you could give up, because it hurts." He said with slight smile. He glanced to Hikari for a moment. "Though, I do think that Hikari could've warned you about what that stuff my Uncle gave her... Hmm.. Now that I think about it I probably could've warned you too... Oh well, it's already done." He said with a light shrug. He was pretty sure he knew why she hadn't mentioned anything to him now that he gave it a little thought. "...I'd ask you how you were feeling but I think you might try to hurt me." He commented looking back down at Celestine. "...So, Hikari... How long do you think before the terror will be up and walking again?"

LaRae got tired of laying on the bed waiting for Hikari to come back so she started pushing herself up. She crawled off the bed and stretched a little before heading for the door. She paused in the hall and then walked over to the stairs and started down them. She started to smile a little when she saw Aamori, but that faded when she noticed how she was sitting. She gave a light sigh and walked over to the couch and sat down next to her before letting her head fall over on Aamori's shoulder. "...Are you alright?" She asked quietly.

Aamori didn't bother lifting her head when she heard someone coming down the stairs. At the time she really didn't care who it was and thought they'd just be going to check on Celestine. She was a little surprised when she felt someone sit down on the couch beside her and then she looked up when she felt the head hit her shoulder. She smiled weakly seeing LaRae and gave a slight nod. "..Yeah.. I'm alright." She responded quietly.

"Hey, you got your voice back!" She said a little surprised. She'd started getting used to Aamori being so quiet. "When did that happen?" She asked lifting her head up and looking over at her.

Aamori sighed softly and pulled her arms back from her legs before sitting down properly on the couch. "...Just a little bit ago." She said with a weak smile as she glanced back at LaRae.

Celestine opened his eyes again and sighed softly. He shook his head slightly at Kyran and Hikari and then glanced toward the chair and sighed softly when he realized that Aamori had finally left. He'd been expecting her to after he went and opened his mouth. He just sighed and closed his eyes again for a few moments until Kyran called him a terror. "Hey..."

Hikari smiled slightly. "If I had told him that it hurt we probably would have had to pull him out from under the bed." she said lightly. She looked at Celestine's leg for a moment after Kyran's question and sighed softly. "Well...Maybe in an hour or so for his leg, but you are probably still going to be sore for quite a while. I could try to find another of those herbs, but..."

"...I think I'll pass this time... that thing was nasty." he muttered without opening his eyes. "...So do I just have to lay here or can I move enough to get back on the bed?" He asked simply, finally opening his eyes slightly and starting to sit up again.

"Oh...yes I guess we could put you back." she said with a slight smile. She watched himself up and carefully hooked her arm around his back and the other under his knees. "Okay... Here we go." she said as she lifted him up and laid him back on the bed again. "There... now stay put this time. You may be lighter than LaRae, but you're still heavy." she said as she stuck her tongue out at him.

Celestine just sighed quietly and turned his head toward the window almost longingly. "...Yeah...sure..." he said quietly.
