Kyran glanced over at Celestine just about the time that Hikari had started to say that he was going to roll off the bed. He just stared at him for a moment after he'd rolled off and then shook his head lightly once he saw the reaction from him. "...I assume that you are alright, Celestine?" He asked while choking back the urge to laugh.

LaRae looked back to Marius once he spoke again and nodded lightly. She glanced back towards the hall when she heard the thud too, then looked at Marius again. She sat there for a moment before she started to get to her feet. She thought she might go see what that was. She lingered for a second before she wandered down the hall to the bedroom. She paused just before the door and then finally peeked her head around the frame to look inside and see what happened.

Hikari put her hand over her mouth to hide her grin when she saw the way that Celestine reacted when he saw them. She shook her head and chuckled softly before she lowered her hand. "Well...your leg is better." she told him with a smile.

Celestine's face was still rather red but he just cast an annoyed look at Kanone and threw his pillow at his face. "Would you shut up, it wasn't that funny!" he said before he looked over to Kyran and nodded slightly. "...Yeah..." he muttered quietly. He looked at the door for a moment and blinked when he saw LaRae standing there. He stared at her for a second, a bit surprised since this was the first he'd seen or heard of her since they'd been here. He looked away after a moment and rolled his eyes at Kanone. "Oh give me a break... I'm out of things to throw."

Kanone was still laughing, though he was trying to stop until Celestine threw the pillow at him, then he just started to crack up all over again after it bounced off of his stomach. "Hahahaha! I can't help it! Hahaha you look funny and your aim sucks!"

"Thanks!" he muttered, rolling his eyes again before he laid back down.

Marius smiled slightly and shook his head when LaRae got up to go see what was going on. He thought about getting up, but that room was already probably getting cramped so he stayed put for now. He could hear Kanone laughing all the way in here though so he guessed whatever it was couldn't be too bad.

Kyran nodded slightly once he heard Celestine. At least he wasn't complaining about being in pain or anything and if he was able to throw things at Kanone then he must have been feeling a little better. He shook his head lightly and looked over at Kanone. "That's more then enough." He said lightly.

LaRae continued to stand there for a moment though she did look away when she saw that he was staring at her. She glanced back briefly and then stepped away from the door frame. "...Marius and I heard a thud, we were curious to know what happened." She said quietly. She assumed it mustn't have been anything too bad since Kanone had been laughing, but it didn't hurt to ask.

Aamori by now was already in the lake. She'd taken her holster and skort off and left them on the ground beside the boulder. She swam around a little but for the most part was now just floating in the water. She'd already had the time to think about what went on with LaRae and she wasn't really even upset anymore. She did however really hope that after that LaRae had changed the way she was talking to people.

Kanone took a deep breath and tried to stop laughing, but he was just having one serious case of the giggles. Every time he thought he was done he pictured the little flailing motion that Celestine has made as he was going over and started laughing again.

"Would someone gag him? Celestine muttered as he shook his head and propped himself up on his elbows again. He glanced over to LaRae for a second then looked away. "I rolled off the bed." He muttered.

Hikari just shook her head at Kanone and smiled slightly. "Either he is in a really good mood, is really easily amused, or he's just lost it." she commented lightly.

Kanone backed up and held up his hand. "Hahaha I'm...ahaha. I'm fine." He said with another laugh. He took and deep breath and then shook his head. "Ow...my side hurts." He shook his head and straightened himself up again. "Anyway... mom caught me on the way out, but she didn't notice the clothes so you're safe. I do however have an errand to run now." he said as he rolled his eyes. "She wants me to run other to the next village and pick something up from one of her friends."

Celestine's ears perked up when he heard what Kanone said and he sat up again, "Kanone, don't go." he said quickly, "I um...I...uh...just...stick around here for a while." he said quietly.

Kanone blinked and stared at him again for a few minutes before he sighed. "Why?" he asked simply, "Are you dreaming again? You know you kinda suck at the whole future prediction thing. what is something going to eat me?"

"Would you just humor me?" he snapped at him.

Kanone just sighed, looking a little annoyed. "Fine fine... So what exactly should I tell mom for a reason that I didn't go?"

"I don't care."

LaRae continued to stand there quietly though once she heard that Celestine had rolled off the bed, Kanone's laughing made more sense. Though, she wasn't so sure it warranted such a laughing fit. She sighed softly and then glanced back towards Celestine for a moment once he told Kanone not to go. She looked over at Kanone briefly. "...Well, we do need someone to go look for Aamori. She took off after... well... she just left." She paused. "You could tell your Mother that you had to go look for her, it is a slightly urgent matter after all." She said quietly. "And you do know the area better then me, Kyran or Hikari..." She added lastly.

Kyran shook his head when Kanone couldn't seem to stop laughing. He half thought of getting up to gag him like Celestine asked just because he knew it was starting to really annoy him. His attention however shifted slightly when Celestine told Kanone not to leave. He quirked a brow, rather curious as to why but didn't bother asking about it since Celestine obviously didn't want to elaborate on it right now. He looked over at LaRae when she interjected with something Kanone could do in the mean time. His curiosity was trying to get the best of him because he now wanted to ask what was going on with Aamori and why she'd left without telling anyone.

Hikari shook her head at Kanone and then tilted her head slightly when Celestine told Kanone not to go. She honestly would have thought that he would have been glad to be rid of him after that laughing fit, but apparently there was more to it than that. She sighed softly when Kanone asked if he had been having dreams again. Well that would make sense. She looked at LaRae when she offered up what Kanone could do and started to open her mouth to ask about Aamori, but Celestine beat her to the punch.

Celestine looked at LaRae again when she said something about Aamori and as soon as she finished speaking he asked what nearly everyone in the room was wondering. "Why did she leave?" he asked, looking a little concerned. He hoped she wasn't really that upset with him over what he'd said earlier.

Kanone just sighed. "If I tell her that then isn't she going to know that you're here?" He asked and then shook his head slightly. "Ah...never mind I just wont give her a reason. Anyway, I know where to look." he said simply as he started toward the door. He patted LaRae on the head as he started out into the hall and then turned to head back down the hallway to the front door. At least she seemed to have her head out of her butt now. He opened the door when he got to it and stepped outside with a soft sight. "I'm starting to feel like an errand boy..." he muttered to himself as he started off the porch. There was one place that Aamori wandered off to when she disappeared around here. She'd been all giddy when she first say the lake, so he was pretty sure that's where she would be again.

LaRae sighed softly. "...She'd know we were here just by walking down this way." She commented quietly. "I don't think it matters that she knows we're here, as much as it matters whether or not she knows what happened." She glanced back over to Celestine when she heard his question. "Oh.. um.." She paused and then sighed heavier. "Her and I got into a fight... Then she took off..." She shook her head lightly. "...She shouldn't have left here alone the way she was but there was no way that I could follow after her, after that." She said quietly.

Kyran shook his head when he heard why Aamori had left. That surprised him a little, considering Aamori didn't seem to argue very much with anyone other then Celestine. Then the fact that it was her and LaRae that got into it. He was a little curious about what they had fought about since he hadn't been around them when it happened but didn't think he should ask. She'd tell what they fought about if she really wanted to, or so he guessed.

Celestine sighed softly, looking a little relieved when she said that she and Aamori had gotten into it. At least that meant that she wasn't mad at him. He tilted his head slightly while he stared at LaRae. He guessed she was really the only one that he could ask since everyone else had been in there for a while apparently. "...What do you mean 'the way she was?'" he asked simply. He hadn't really noticed anything wrong with her other than she looked sad and hadn't been talking, of course he was also a little busy writhing in pain once he hit the floor.

Hikari sighed softly when LaRae said that she'd gotten into it with Aamori. She knew those two were friends, so she was a little surprised that they'd had a fight. "What were you two fighting about?" she asked softly. Honestly, she didn't really see those two fighting over much more than the way that Aamori liked to wake her up in the mornings, but she knew that wasn't it.

Kanone just started down the road at a nice leisurely pace until he got to the square, then he finally broke into a little bit of a jog. He slowed down once he got to the bridge and turned to start heading along the river to the lake. He really didn't know why finding her was so urgent, but he was looking around the edge of the river to make sure that she wasn't along here somewhere. He was still walking at a decently fast pace, so it wasn't going to be too long before he actually got to the lake.

LaRae sighed softly and glanced over at Celestine for a moment after hearing his question. She had expected someone to ask about what she meant eventually; She wasn't sure anyone else had known about it or even noticed it for that matter. "...I don't think anyone else noticed but her skin was very pale, not to mention dry and a little rough." She started. "That happens when she hasn't had enough water. Without sufficient water she can get sick... very sick..." She mumbled. "She's always been pretty good about hiding it especially if she has something else on her mind. But I spent several years around her so I can see the signs just as they start happening." She paused. "She'll need to either soak in water for a while or drink a lot of water..." She gave a heavy sigh and shook her head lightly. She looked over to Hikari after hearing her question too. "...It's nothing. Just a stupid argument. Nothing to worry about..." She muttered quietly.

Aamori was still in the lake, just floating around in the center. She was laying on her back in the water not moving at all. Her eyes were shut and her ears were under the water; So she wouldn't respond if spoken to. She was still breathing but it was slowed because of how relaxed she was. At first glance one might assume she was either asleep or unconscious.

Celestine sighed softly and shook his head. "...There is a sink right down the hall..." he muttered as he rolled his pants leg back down again. He finally laid back down again and just looked up at the ceiling. He really hadn't noticed, of course if he'd known what to look he might have noticed. He didn't understand why she would sit here all of that time and let herself get like that when they were in a house with running water. It wouldn't have killed him to see her leave for a few minutes to go get a drink.

Hikari nodded slightly when LaRae said that it was nothing, so she didn't ask anything more. She sighed softly and shook her head slightly when she heard what was wrong with Aamori. She knew that water dragons could get sick if they were away from water for a while, but she'd thought it would take weeks, not days. Apparently they were going to have to keep a better eye on Aamori and make sure that they stopped near water occasionally.

Kanone sighed when he finally came to the area where the river ran into the lake. He walked over to one of the large boulders and looked out at the lake for a few moments before he finally noticed Aamori. "Hey, Aamori!" he called to her. He stood there for a moment, though he started to get a little worried when she didn't answer him. "Aamori!?" he called again. He finally opened his wings and jumped off of the rock, flapping his wings a few times as he flew out of the water, swooping low to get to her. He sank down even lower and reached into the water, grabbing onto her to pull her out of the water. Even up close he couldn't really tell if she was conscious. "Aamori!" He said again now that he had her half out of the water. he was just hovering over the water the best that he could while hanging onto her, though she was a little heavy with that thick wet mop of hers. "Are you alright?" He asked as he looked at her.

((haha that'll get her up in a hurry. XDD))

LaRae sighed softly and then looked back over to Celestine after hearing mention of the sink down the hall. "She obviously was more concerned with your well being, Celestine. So much so that she ignored her own. Which is why her and I got into a fight..." She said while shaking her head lightly. "...I can't explain why she didn't just get up and get some water. I wish I could." She said quietly. She was quiet for a few moments longer before opening her mouth again. "She'll be alright, she wasn't too bad off when she left. At most I could see her passing out from the dehydration... She won't get sick right away, thankfully that does take a little longer." She added lastly with another sigh.

Aamori of course hadn't responded the first couple times that he had tried to get her attention. She had been asleep. She was quite comfortable and relaxed just laying in the water. However as soon as she felt something touch her and lift her up her eyes started to open, slowly at first while she registered what was going on. Her eyes shot open the rest of the way when she heard her name called finally. She startled terribly when she saw Kanone and absently shook slightly, she felt like her heart was going to burst out her chest all at once. She had forgotten where she was at and what she was doing and suddenly there was Kanone. It took her a moment to start to relax again and then she started to glance around a little to refresh her memory on where she was. She took a deep breath and then looked to Kanone. "...W-what do you need ...rather... what are you doing here?"

Celestine just shook his head again. "...Well that's good at least..." he said quietly after she said that Aamori wouldn't get sick right away. He glanced over to her again for a few moments and then looked away again. He supposed he did owe her a thank you, but he really didn't want to get into that with Hikari and Kyran in here to watch. He closed his eyes and sighed softly again. He hoped Aamori hadn't passed out anywhere.

Hikari smiled weakly. "...I'm sure Kanone will find her." she said simply as she started to get up, "And I'm going to go find another apple, I'm still hungry." she said as she started for the door and then headed down the hall toward the kitchen again.

Kanone relaxed a little when Aamori woke up and then sighed heavily. "...You scared the living daylights out of me, I thought you'd passed out of something." he said as he let her down into the water again. He continued to hover above the water, keeping his feet drawn up away from it. "LaRae told me to come and find you....said it was kind of urgent or something. I don't know she seemed pretty worried about you."

Kyran started to get up finally, just after Hikari had. He'd just been sitting there listening quietly. He started to follow after her without much of a word to either Celestine or LaRae. He sighed softly and followed out into the hall and towards the kitchen. "...I guess maybe I should've just made something for everyone to eat." He said lightly. Just after hearing everything that he had, he assumed that LaRae probably wouldn't feel like cooking anything anyway.

LaRae stood there quietly and watched as Hikari started to get up and leave the room. She nodded lightly when she said that Kanone would probably find her; She was sure that he would. Once Hikari had left, and then Kyran soon after she felt more then a little awkward just standing there. She started to turn back towards the door. She stared at it for a moment before she inched closer to it. She glanced back towards Celestine briefly. "...Well..." She paused. "...I'll leave you alone." She said quietly and then started for the door again.

Aamori went right back to floating in the water once Kanone had let her back down. She looked up at him and shook her head lightly. "...You scared me too..." She said quietly. "And... It may have started out as me being passed out." She mumbled. She continued to float there for a moment before she turned slightly and started to swim back over towards the edge of the lake. She gave a sigh and started to pull herself out onto the boulder that she'd been sitting on previously. Once she was sitting again she took hold of her hair and started to wring it out a little. "...LaRae is just overreacting. I'm fine and she's worried for nothing." She muttered.

Hikari looked back to Kyran when he came into the kitchen after her and smiled slightly, "It's alright. I don't really think anyone expects you to cook for us." she said lightly as she snagged another apple and bit into it. She didn't really care to try to peel it or wait for it to be peeled. "I was mostly just looking for an excuse to scurry out of there."

Celestine blinked when Hikari said that she was still hungry and watched her go with Kyran right on her heels as usual. He was half wondering if he'd been sending mind messages again. He looked at LaRae again and sighed softly whens he started to inch toward the door. "...Wait..." he said quietly and then turned his eyes away from her. "...Umm...thanks...for the other day." he said simply. At least this time he didn't sound like he was choking on his words when he thanked her like he did when she gave him the food at Kyran's house. "And..." he started and then paused. "...never mind." he said quietly. "...Go on." he said, apparently deciding against whatever he was about to say. He wanted to ask her how she knew that his mother liked violets, but that answer was kind of obvious. Sonia liked to talk a lot.

Kanone sighed. "You know, the middle of the lake isn't the best place to pass out...even a water dragon can drown." he said simply as he flew over her back to the rock. Her landed on the ground beside her and watched her try to wring out her hair. "Well at least your friends worry about you." he said simply as he leaned against the rock, "You can't get mad at them for that." He looked out over to lake for a moment and then glanced back to Aamori again, "So why were you passed out in the middle of the lake again?"

Kyran looked to Hikari and smiled slightly. "That's a relief then, I really didn't want to cook for everyone." It wasn't like he wouldn't cook, if he was asked to then by all means he would. But he, like most people didn't care too much to be critiqued on his food; Or listen to people not like it. Plus it was just easier to pawn the cooking off on LaRae. She did like to cook after all. "Did you really need an excuse to leave the room?" He shook his head lightly. "You could have just left without saying anything." He paused and moved to lean against the counter. "So, why were you wanting to 'scurry' out of there?"

LaRae paused briefly when she heard him say wait. She glanced back for a moment, almost wondering if he meant her. Obviously he must have since she was the only one still left in the room. She looked at him and smiled faintly hearing him thank her. She shook her head. "You didn't need to thank me." She said quietly. "It was the right thing to do, so I did it." She added. She stood there for a moment longer waiting for what he was going to say next, though she nodded lightly when he told her to go on. She continued to the door and stepped out into the hall. She was just about to head back to the living room but glanced back into the room. "...Are you at least feeling better, since then?"

Aamori finished wringing out her hair the best she could and then tossed it behind her. It was still awfully wet, but at least it wasn't dripping buckets of water now. She looked over at him for a moment. "...I'm not mad at any of them." She started. "LaRae is just overacting and getting all worried and worked up over nothing." She said rolling her eyes slightly. She gave a soft sigh when she heard him ask why she was passed out in the lake. She couldn't say for sure that she had or hadn't passed out but since she hadn't remembered where she was or why she was there when he woke her up, she assumed she must have been out cold for a few minutes. "...It's nothing really. I just got dehydrated, that's all. When I don't have enough water in me, I can pass out momentarily." She said as she looked away and towards the water.

Hikari smiled slightly and shrugged as she sank down in one of the kitchen chairs. "Eh, I don't know. Celestine and LaRae were actually speaking civilly to one another; I just wanted to see if it would last if we left." she said with a soft laugh, "I was pretty sure you'd come too if I left. And I really did want another apple." she said simply as she took another bite.

Celestine looked back to her again when she said that he didn't need to thank her. He didn't say anything more to her as she went out the door, though when she asked if he was feeling better he nodded slightly. "Better, yes. ...Well, not really." he said simply. He still felt pretty lousy, but he was feeling a whole lot better than he had been before. The burning sensation was pretty much gone, but he still had a whopper headache that falling out of the bed hadn't really helped and he still just felt tired and shaky whenever he tried to push himself up or something like that. He was hoping that he would be over that soon. He really wanted to go bathe and change clothes.

Nanashi had been out of the bath for a while now, but he was still hovering around upstairs. He expected that LaRae was still sitting outside pouting so he just wanted to stay out of everyone's way. His stomach was starting to get ready to eat itself though, so he finally came back downstairs again. His hair was still damp, as was his bandanna; obviously he'd left it on again, but he was drying off pretty quickly. He had to admit that he was really enjoying being able to bathe with soap this often; normally he was doing good to get the dirt off of his face with water from a creek or something. Once he reached the bottom of the stairs he paused when he saw LaRae in the hallway.

Kanone smiled slightly and shook his head. "...Well, you look okay to me." he said simply. "Are you hydrated now, or should I put you back in the water and come back in an hour?" he asked with a soft laugh. He hopped up on the boulder beside her to sit down and snickered, "You know, I could really get used to coming ot the lake with you, I'm wracking up on pantie views."

Kyran nodded lightly. "I have to say I was a little surprised that the two of them were even talking to one another. But, then again, it was about someone they both obviously care about." He paused. "Had the topic been anything other then Aamori, I'm half afraid they wouldn't have said a word to one another." He smiled slightly. "And how is it you're seeing if the conversation lasts after you leave if you're no where near the room to hear them?"

LaRae nodded her head and then again started to turn like she was going to continue to the living room but stopped. She sighed softly and looked back into the room over at Celestine. "...Is ...there anything ...I can do to ...help?" She asked quietly before glancing away. She wasn't sure what she could possibly do to help but it couldn't hurt to ask. And this way she was at least putting forth some effort to not be so cold towards him. She was however finding, at least at this moment that talking to him wasn't all that hard and not nearly as difficult as she was foreseeing. Though she wasn't sure how long that was going to last.

Aamori glanced back towards Kanone. "I'm fine." She said simply before shaking her head lightly. She probably could stand to be in the water for a little while longer, but for now she'd at least regained her usual color and her skin was soft again. She really hadn't been that bad off, LaRae was just making it sound worse then it was. Then again, had she passed out on her stomach rather then her back she probably could have easily drown. Her cheeks tinted light red after hearing his last comment. She hadn't really been paying attention to it but he was getting to see her in her panties a lot since she'd been here. She shook her head lightly. "It must be nice to see some other girls panties, other then your mothers that is." She said with a soft chuckle. She wasn't quite as embarrassed being like this around him, compared to the first time. Though that was probably only because he had seen her like this a couple times, and even seen her bare bottom. It couldn't exactly get too much more embarrassing then that. "And you know... You can't get used to it." She paused. "Once we can leave again I'm headed back to Kairava. Which means no more panties for you to look at."

Hikari smiled slightly and laughed. "Well I'm sure if it turns sour then we will hear them screaming at one another. If not then I'm sure we'll probably hear about it later." she said as she took another bite of the apple. She sighed softly and then stretched her legs a little. "I wonder where Nanashi got to. He's been all but glued to LaRae since we've been back."

Nanashi smiled slightly when he heard LaRae talking to Celestine and then almost silently slipped by her and continued down the hall to the kitchen. He half smiled, "I thought i would give her a break and take a bath." he said simply in answer to Hikari's statement since she said it right about the time that he got to the door. He sighed softly. He'd kinda hoped that no one was in here so he could just grab something and get out with it and hopefully not be noticed. Marius had already gotten onto him twice for asking him if he could get something from the kitchen instead of just getting it himself. He hadn't gotten onto him harshly, but he had told him that he had two arms and legs that probably worked better than his did.

Celestine glanced back to LaRae again and half smiled. "...I doubt it." he said honestly. "I just have a headache." he said simply. He slowly pushed himself up again and sighed softly as he looked over to his clothes for a moment. "...I do...kind of want to get upstairs, though..." He said finally. Now that his legs was healed he didn't see why he couldn't go walk around and get upstairs. He didn't think it was helping him too much to keep laying in the bed all the time. He more or less just wanted someone to make sure that he didn't roll down the stairs backwards or something.

Kanone laughed and shook his head. "Oh thanks. I'm going to have to find another swim partner." he said simply. "...You know I wasn't expecting to see you again after you left the first time." He said with a half smile, "I'm kinda glad I got another peek." He said simply. "So what do you plan to do once you get home?"

Kyran looked over to Hikari. "Yes, I suppose we would hear them if it took a turn for the worst." He was about to comment on where Nanashi had been, but he looked up when he heard him answer Hikari's question. He shook his head lightly with a faint smile. "Thankfully, it appears we don't have to tell you when to bathe." He pushed himself away from the counter and he moved over to an empty wall and then leaned back against it. He was moving out of the way, mostly to see if Nanashi would get something for himself to eat or drink; Which ever he came in here for. At least he assumed that he must have wanted something since he'd come to the kitchen.

LaRae barely noticed when Nanashi moved past her, in fact she hadn't noticed at all. She was preoccupied with seeing how Celestine was so she didn't notice much else at the moment. She was pretty much awestruck that her and Celestine hadn't broken out into an argument or something yet. "...Oh. Okay." She said with a slight nod. She watched him push himself up and then noticed him look over at the clothes on the bed. She pretty easily gathered what he was getting at just from hearing him say he wanted to go upstairs. She nodded again and then stepped back into the room. She walked over to the bed and picked up the clothes that were folded there. "...If you don't mind, I can make sure ...that you make it upstairs in one piece." She said quietly glancing over to him momentarily.

Aamori chuckled softly and looked over at Kanone. "Well, you could always swim with that little girl Yu. She seems like she'd love a swimming partner." She said with a hint of a smirk on her face. She looked back out at the water and half thought his statement was going to be something nice, at least until he added the part about getting another peek. She shook her head and glanced back over to him. "If you wanted a goodbye peek you know that you could've asked. I might have been nice enough to share." She said jokingly. She lifted her legs up and brought them to her chest and then rested her head against them. "Hmm..." She thought for a moment. "Once I get home... I guess I'd want to change first." She paused. "I've got a nice pale blue pair of lace panties with a little bow on the front that I haven't worn in awhile. Oh.. and I guess I'd put some other clothes on too.." She said laughing quietly.

Nanashi just hovered by the door for a minute before he sighed and stepped further into the kitchen. He looked at Kyran for a moment after his comment and then lowered his eyes again. "...I think I am quite capable of determining when I need cleaned." He said quietly, "I don't need someone to tell me that I stink before I decide to take a bath." He looked up for a moment at the basket of apples that everyone had been eating out of. There were only two left. He knew that Aamori, LaRae, and Marius all hadn't eaten yet, of course there was more in the kitchen to eat than apples, but that seemed like the popular item for today. Besides apparently Hikari wasn't finished eating. He just turned around again and started back to the hallway again. He could come back later and get something. Or he could just go pick his own, there were plenty of trees around here close.

Hikari looked at Nanashi for a moment and sighed softly, "Nanashi..." she started and then shook her head when she saw him turning around to leave. He really was a touchy one. "Nanashi, didn't you come in here for something? Don't run off." she said simply. She was pretty sure that he had taken what Kyran had said the wrong way. It did come off as a bit of a smart remark, but she knew he didn't mean any harm by it.

Celestine blinked when she picked up the clothes and then nodded slightly when she offered to help him get up the stairs. He guessed he could trust her with that job. He'd been hinting more for her to go get Marius or something, but this was something he guessed he could trust her with...just as long as she didn't wait until he got to the top and push him off backwards. He finally put his feet over the side of the bed again and stood up almost timidly. He was half afraid that he was going to hurt himself again. He had to hold onto the bed for a moment as he stood there. His legs were shaking badly which was making it a little more difficult to stand. After the first try at this, he was pretty much worn out, and his little nap didn't help very much. He staggered forward until he got to the chair and then latched onto the arm of the chair and sighed before he put his hand against the wall and tried to straighten himself up. Finally he got to where he was walking decently, though it wasn't exactly in a straight line.

Kanone tilted his head slightly. "Ah, so you met Yu." he said with a half smile, "...She's a strange one. Most of the kids her age don't have much to do with her. Myself...I find her very annoying." laughed and shook his head, "Hey, I never said what I wanted another peek of you dirty little girl." he said playfully, "I was just saying I was happy to see you, though the panties was a bonus. And thanks for the image, I'll have to try to picture that." He sat there and got a sudden distant dreaming look on his face, "Oh yes, very nice..." he said in a rather preoccupied voice before he glanced at her to see her reaction to his little preformance.

Kyran sighed heavily when Nanashi started to leave and then shook his head lightly. He really hadn't meant anything mean by what he said. But then again he already knew that Nanashi seemed to take some of the things he said the wrong way. He really needed to watch his mouth, and be careful about what he said around the guy. "Nanashi, I didn't mean anything by that." He said quietly. He really hated when things he said were taken the wrong way, he always felt bad afterwords.

LaRae sighed softly and held on to the clothes as she watched him get to his feet and make his way towards the chair. She started to follow after him, pausing not that far behind him. They may not have always gotten along, but she wasn't going to just let him fall down anywhere. She would be upset with herself if she let that happen, especially since he hadn't freaked out at her offering to help him up the stairs. "...Don't strain yourself..." She paused. "...I can get someone else to help you if you need to lean on someone..." She said quietly. She would help him if he did need aid, but she figured he wouldn't want her touching him in anyway.

Aamori nodded her head lightly. "Yes, I met her. She can be a little annoying but that's only because she has no one to play with. I'm positive that if she had someone to play with her, she'd settle down a little." She commented lightly. She started to glance back over at him and wound up staring at him after he called her a 'dirty little girl' She shook her head after a moment. She wasn't dirty.. She sighed softly and was about to open her mouth to say something about his comment but she just caught the look on his face followed by the words after. She stared blankly at him for a minute before her cheeks shot red. "..." She just sat there, rather embarrassed that he'd even try and picture that. She was at a loss for words and sadly had nothing witty to snap back with. She finally just buried her head to her knees to hide the color in her face.

Nanashi paused at the door and glanced back to Kyran for a moment. "...I know. No one ever does." he said simply. He thought about what he'd said for a moment and then sighed. "...Sorry..." he said quietly. He wasn't trying to be smart with him, but he was pretty used to the ones who were trying to be discrete saying something and then trying to cover for themselves by saying they meant nothing by it when it was painfully obvious that they did. He knew that Kyran was at least nice to him but at time he still wasn't too sure what to make of him. The only one that he was really sure about in this group was LaRae and maybe Hikari. He shook his head slightly. "...I'm going outside for a little while." he told them quietly. He'd been pretty much hiding out inside the house the whole time they were here, then he went out to sit with LaRae was the first time he'd even stepped out the door since they got here. He liked being inside, but he was starting to go a little stir crazy not going out. They were near the edge of town anyway, he figured he could slip out into the woods and wander around for a little while and be fine.

Hikari sighed softly and shook her head. "D--Alright." she said simply. She's been about to tell him not to wander off too far, but he wasn't a child, she was pretty sure he knew how to get back here again. She glanced down to her half eaten apple and finally took another bite out of it. By now she's already nearly lost interest in eating it.

Celestine nodded slightly when LaRae told him not to strain himself. "...I...think I can make it." he said quietly, though he already sounded a little winded after just that short walk. He continued to hold onto the wall as he walked to the door and then slipped out into the hallway. He switched hands so that he could still hand onto the wall and then continued walking slowly until he reached the stairs, though once he got there he just stared at them as if he was about to try to rock climb a mountain and sighed. He wanted to get up there on his own, but he'd already about had it just getting to the bottom of the steps. Finally to took a hold of the rail and stepped onto the first step. He made sure he had both feet on that step before he tackled the next one. This is going to take all friggin day...

Kanone laughed when he saw Aamori's reaction and shook his head. "Ah I'm kidding, I'm kidding." He said as he put his arm around her. "I wasn't picturing you in the underwear." he said with and smirk. "Why stop there?" He joked. He shook his head. "Come on, I'm not that bad." he said softly, "I was just playing, I wasn't really picturing much of anything. I got about as far as blue hair then I started thinking about Celestine's stupid cat."

Kyran sighed after hearing Nanashi and then glanced over to Hikari briefly. He couldn't believe that this had happened again. He was starting to think he shouldn't open his mouth when speaking to Nanashi unless it was important or informative. He shook his head a little. "...I give..." He muttered half under his breath. He was already starting to tire of him opening his mouth and having it result in Nanashi going off walking somewhere.

LaRae quietly followed after Celestine once he started out into the hall. She kept a shooter then usual distance between them, just in case. She didn't mind how slow he was taking everything and tried not to make it look like she was rushing him since she had been a little closer to him then she usually would've been. She paused however once he made it to the stairs and watched as he made it up onto the first step. She'd wait until he cleared another stair or two before following up after him.

Aamori kept her head buried in her knees for a moment longer, even after he put his arm around her. She thought at first to remind him that her hair was still damp but kept her mouth shut. After listening to him she was a bit curious as to how he managed to go from blue hair to that little cat. She shook her head, it didn't make any sense at all. Her cheeks were still tinted but she finally lifted her head a little and glanced over towards him. "...You'll have to explain to me how picturing me lead you to Celestine's cat, I'm not seeing the connection at all." She commented quietly. "...So..." She paused. "If I'm a dirty little girl then what does that make you? After all... you're the one going around pulling down panties without asking first." She started to lift her head up the rest of the way and stared at him for a moment. "Now that I'm thinking about it again, you stabbed me in the bum with those damn tweezers!" She looked away. "That wasn't very nice...."

Nanashi just started down the hall again, and went to the door without pausing, even though he noticed LaRae and Celestine near the bottom of the stairs. He opened the door and slipped outside with a sigh before he started toward the steps and headed off the porch without a word or glance to Nero. Once on the ground he just started around to the back of the house since that was the fastest way to the woods and was more out of sight.

Hikari looked back to Kyran and sighed softly, shaking her head. "I don't think he understood the joke, Kyran." she said softly. She stood up and walked over to him after Nanashi had gotten well away from the kitchen and then leaned her head against him. She nuzzled him gently and then sighed softly and straightened up again. "Be patient." she said with a weak smile.

Celestine continued to try to climb the stairs though he glanced back once to make sure that LaRae was behind him. He continued up the stairs until he got about halfway to the top. By then he didn't even know if he could raise his foot high enough to get on the next step and he was shaking even more from the effort. He finally sank down and turned himself around so that he was sitting on the step and leaned against the wall gasping quietly. "...G-give...me a.....a minute...." he said quietly. Honestly he was probably going to end up taking a nap in the tub when he got to it.

Kanone laughed, "Blue hair, blue cat? I dunno." he said with a shake of his head. "And hey, you were the one that said you wanted me to get the thorns out of your butt." he reminded her, "If you told me that I couldn't pull your drawers down to get to them then they would have just stayed in there." he said simply, though he busted out laughing when she said that he'd jabbed her with the tweezers. "Hahaha!! Hey, you can thank your lovely traveling partner for that one." He said simply, "He scared the crap out of me."

Kyran sighed softly once Hikari had come over to him. He smiled faintly after she nuzzled him and then looked to her. "I'm trying to be patient, and understanding and all of that..." He said quietly. "I'm just starting to feel like opening my mouth to talk to him is pointless unless I'm a girl. He seems to warm up to LaRae and you a little a easier and I am pretty sure he's intimated by males, regardless of how nice they are." He paused. "Well.. At least I think I'm being nice." He shook his head lightly. "I'm not even trying to be mean to him, I'm trying to watch what I say and every time I open my mouth for small conversation reasons or to make a joke it gets taken the wrong way and then I feel like crap because he gets offended and wanders off..." He sighed heavily. "I honestly have nothing against the guy and I'm just treating him as I would any other person and It's backfiring on me terribly."

LaRae glanced back momentairily to see Nanashi go past the stairs and to the front door. She was a little taken back that he didn't stop or say anything to her. She half wondered if he was upset at her for earlier, since he felt she had some things to say to a couple people. Once he'd left she turned her attention back to Celestine and watched him proceed up a couple more of the steps. She still made sure that she was close enough to catch him should he have fallen, but far enough away that she wasn't invading his space. She was still quiet and paused when he stopped and then watched as he turned to sit on the step. She gave a soft sigh. "...Just take your time. I'm in no hurry." She said quietly. She shifted the clothes she was carrying a little and then glanced past him towards the top of the stairs. "You don't have too much more to go." She commented, trying at least to sound a little reassuring.

Aamori shook her head. "I still don't see the comparison. That cat is no where near as blue as me." She stared at him blankly for a moment. "I didn't ask you to remove the thorns, you offered since everyone else was asleep!" She sighed and then looked away when she heard him start laughing. She didn't think getting stabbed in the butt with tweezers was very funny, it did hurt a little after all. Then again, Kanone seemed to laugh at nearly anything. Well, except when he was the one getting hurt. She glanced back over to him and shook her head lightly. "It's not Celestine's fault. You're the one who made the situation look bad." She paused. "I mean after all, you'd pulled my panties down and were lingering near my rear in nothing more then a robe." She chuckled softly. "He shouldn't have scared you, well, unless you were thinking about something else other then removing thorns."
