Mizuki gave a little sigh of releaf as Thalion spoke of the subject. Yes it was true that he had to give Neimi and Raden time though knowing how Neimi is she would agree for the soul fact that she didnt loose anyone. He also had the feeling that Raden would fallow just for Neimi, it was cute if you thought about it.

Moving his legs around so he sat facing Thalion now he stood with a little stumble "Help to bed...?" Mizuki asked a little raising his head looking at Thalion with a soft woren out smile on his lips. All Mizuki wanted to do right now lay down and be cuddled by a warm chest of the man he loved.

He was still questioning on where they'd even go, let alone what they would do once they found a area. Sure between four of them they should be able to figure out someway to make out. Well if they still had four after Neimi and Raden were told. Though knowing them two one would follow the other and Neimi was for sure not willing to give up what she called family.

He had to laugh a little before shaking his head and going over to Mizuki to help him. "Like I said, 10 minutes." Though he was just picking on the other now. He knew that he had pushed himself just to walk this far alone, though for a bath Mizuki seemed capable of doing just about anything. Aside from that Thal hardly minded helping the other. After all of this that they had been through.. yeah it was almost relaxing to know everything was going to be more or less fine.

Mizuki didnt pay mind to any taunt that Thalion gave. He just wanted to get into the others arms and go to bed thats what he wanted to do. So as soon as she reached the bed and he sat down Mizuki began to do the same thing he did every time, braid his hair. Slowly he wove fingers through his long locks abenstly humming to himself.

When he was done he saw that Thalion had moved up into a sitting/laying placement at the top of the med. Moving he brought the sheets up with him as he half laid hale sat but cuddled into Thalions chest. He gave a little sigh then as everything began catching up to him and he began to doze off. "We will find a place..." He said and paused a moment for a yawn "Im thinking south..." He said sleepely.

After Mizuki was sitting on the bed and going about fixing his hair. He was rather content with Mizuki going about things like they use to be. Even if he knew the other was still weak and in need of rest it was just comforting to see that everything was going to be ok in the long run.

Though he didn't get to watch him much longer as the other seemed to move after he had finally found a spot that was comfortable to lay in. The one wound on his side bothered him a bit depending on how he sat. Though that was getting better as each day went on. When Mizuki moved to lay against his chest he smiled a little before moving a hand to rest on Mizuki's side lightly.

"South huh?" He repeated the one word thinking about it as the other stayed resting against him. "I can't complain, at least it should stay rather warm there." He found it funny, though he didn't expect a reply from the other, not seeing as he seemed to be asleep already. Though at the same time he didn't mind, he had missed having Mizuki close like this.

Sleep came to Mizuki easy that night as he found safety and comfort within the arms of Thalion. His night was a peaceful one with no bad dreams of screams and blood. They all were filled with smiling faces and happy cheers. Mizuki stayed where he was for most of the night though when he awoke in the morning he was curled with his back pressed into a strong chest and a warm arm around his waist hugging him close.

Mizuki smiled and stayed where he was. He loved the feeling of being safe and content though his thoughts were interupted as the door opened and someone walked inside. Mizuki kept his eyes closed as the person went about the room. Finally he opened his eyes when the noise of moving feet stopped and peered upon a softly smiling Neimi.

Mizuki groaned a little hiding his face from her "What do you want Neimi..." He said softly turing his face towards her once more. Now the soft smile was gone and her arms were crossed as a small foot tapped the floor. This is where she went on about how it was fine and dandy he was home but he hasnt eaten and bandages needed changed. He truthfully ignored her until Thalion began to speak.

For the past few nights sleep was easy to come by. Just everything going on and the recovery process took a lot of out Thalion. He could handle recovering but he didn't want to think about losing anyone. For a little while he kept questioning if Mizuki was ever going to wake up fully. Though tonight he was content with the other sleeping close.

No one had to tell him that Neimi would give them both hell in the morning. But till then he didn't care. Sadly that morning came sooner then he wanted as she woke up to Neimi laying Mizuki out. He sighed finally moving a little as he looked at her. For the moment he let her go on about a few things till she got to why she was really complaining.

"They'll get changed, calm down." He sat up a little before speaking again. "The medics already know he's here, I told them where he was yesterday when they lost him in the first place." She still seemed annoyed that he was here and not somewhere where he could recover properly, then again she knew this was a lost battle if Thal wasn't on her side.

Sighing she shook her head a little. "I swear.. you two are a handful.." She left it at that before she walked off for a few moments before returning with a small box and sitting it near the bed. "Just be sure it gets done? He can't afford to get a infection.. though on that note neither can someone else in this room." She glared at Thal knowing he knew what she meant. And that was for him to tend to his own wounds as well.

Mizuki sighed as he listend to Neimi rant on about everything. In truth he kind of didnt care. Though the mention of changing bandages Mizuki grunted a little. He hasnt seen them at all so he didnt know the state of himself to be honest. This is where he slowly pushed himself up off the bed "Dont worry Neimi.." He said softly "I will make sure its done" He said with a little nod of his head.

Mizuki then looked to her "You and Raden need to have a sit down With Thalion and I...we all need to have a conversation...as a family" He said before looking to Thalion getting an approving look and nod. Looking back to Neimi he spoke again "Now....please excuse Thalion and I for a little please"

In truth Mizuki just wanted to have time alone with Thalion. After everything was said and done Mizuki was glad that they were both living and breathing. He wanted to Show Thalion that in different ways today. one mainly the time spent together.

Neimi tilted her head a little when Mizuki said they needed to talk as a family. "um.. I'll go track him down." She seemed to think a moment. "He lives up to being a half blood elf thats for sure.. never around when you need him." She was only teasing, though the boy was a half blooded wood elf... so finding a place to hide away in was probably nothing for him.

She shrugged a little before telling them both to behave as she left the house. It'd take her a while to find Raden if he didn't want to be found and she knew that. At the least she did manage to get them both to agree to tending to the wounds, she knew Thal was never one to worry over them too much. Though someone had to at least...

Thal looked at Mizuki after Neimi left. Though he moved a little again to sit up fully before he sighed a little. "You probably worried her with saying we had to talk as a family." He smirked a little finding it funny. She probably never thought she'd hear those words out of either of the two of them. He never questioned why Mizuki wanted to be left alone, he figured he just wanted the time alone. It wasn't like they didn't just live through hell and all that. In truth he couldn't blame him for wanting time alone, he certainly wasn't going to complain about it.

Mizuki smiled a little "Oh its okay...im sure she knows nothing bad will happen" He said before removing the clothes he slept in to sit on the bed in nothing but the wrappings of his wounds "Besides you and I both know if we only asked her Raden wouldnt have a choice" At that Mizuki laughed a little though that laugh turned into a cough from a dry throat and lack of water for a week.

Mizuki hissed and cringed as he sat back up right after he hunched over from the cough. The last thing he wanted or needced right now was to get sick that would surely be the end for him. Sighing Mizuki raised his hand and felt the back of his neck. It was hot, he wasnt going to say anything as he removed his hand but it was to late as he felt another hand on the back of his neck...busted.

He sighed a little agreeing with him. "Least he listens to someone... though I think she's beat him up enough times." It was rather funny that he followed her every word, though he did think it was because she had knocked the crap out of him on a number of occasions. "I some how doubt he'll care either way." Was his final thought on the matter.

About the time he was going to settle down and just enjoy the quietness of the house he noticed Mizuki act a little odd. The cough was the main thing that caught his attention. Though after a moment he noticed Mizuki touching the back of his neck. Seeing as he paused he decided to see something, he figured the other was hiding if anything else was wrong.

Mizuki nearly flinched when he touched his neck, though it was rewarded with a glare from Thal as she started to speak. "You were just going to go about the day and not say a word weren't you?" He shook his head a little. "You called me a stubborn ass and your going to sit here sick while still recovering and act like nothings wrong?"

Mizuki sighed a little at that and he knew what Thalion said was right but he didnt say anything on the matter all he did was hung his head "I wanted to have a quite day...not a day filled with worrie" He said "Besides...its not that important...I dont want to be a bother" Before Mizuki could double think the words were out and he knew that he was going to get the fifth degree from Thalion.

Mizuki just sat there and listened to everything Thalion bitched about. Mizuki sighed a little but complied as Mizuki lightly grabbed his arm and started removing the bandages that rested there. The only time he flinched was at the end when the scabs wripped off with the bandages causing his arm to bleed."Sorry..." He said though he was not sure why he said it or why he was sorry...

Of course he gave him the fifth degree. After everything they had gone through he was still too weak to not take proper care of a cold. Even if it was just a minor one. "Stop being sorry over it.. your not a bother either.." He said with a slight sigh before getting up and getting a small cloth and wetting it before going back to Mizuki.

"It's not going to be filled with worry." He said as he went about cleaning the spot that was wrapped on Mizuki's arm. "Besides we're still getting to be alone aren't we? also we're both still alive." He finished cleaning the arm before he went about getting some new wrappings for it so he could cover the wound again. He did have a few points. He didn't care what he was doing, at least they were both alive through it all.

Mizuki kept his head hung as he listned to Thalion speak beside him. It was true everything the male said but Mizuki count not help feeling the way he did. It seemed to him that no matter what after everything was over and said with he was the one causing the people he loved around him the most problems and thats what bugged him.

"Im....just useless" Mizuki muttered under his breath his ears falling back into semi loose hair. That was the way he felt. He was in no shape to do anything around the camp for the recovery as it was he was getting sick to top everything off. He was useless.

Keeping his head bowed he avoided Thalions stern look until the other male got off the bed and moved before him begining on his chest wrappings. Mizuki wanted to beleive everything that Thalion said but he knew it was just something your partner was suppose to say so in turn it made him all the more sadder the more he thought of things.

He sighed a little before moving to work on the other wrappings. At first he didn't say anything, there wasn't a point to. Mizuki got like this once in a while. "You know your not useless." He finally said after he got to the point where the wound was cleaned and he could apply some fresh salve on it. Why would he even think that after everything that happened?

"If it weren't for you how many do you think we would have lost that day? Let alone I'd probably be in worse shape then I am." As he started to wrap the fresh wrappings along the spot he went on a little. "Aside from that if you were useless I doubt there would be people who look up to you. Without you being here we wouldn't have gotten the mages." There were a number of other things that wouldn't be possible without Mizuki there.

Once he was done he looked at Mizuki and made the other look at him. "Someone that is useless doesn't have a family as you called it earlier." He knew none of this would probably change Mizuki's mind but still.. he could try at least.

Mizuki looked to Thalion when he was forced to. It was true everything the male said but in the end he still couldnt help to think the way that he did. It was just something that he could not escape. Ture he had a man that he loved with every thing he had, a girl he saw as a daughter and a male...well he was yet to find a place within Mizukis heart but he knew one day it would be there.

Mizuki sighed alittle as the last of the wrappings was removed from his chest and for the first time he saw the gash down his pale skin and he cringed just from the look of it. How did he get so careless during that fight? "Even so...in the end im the last to recover" He said almost absentmindedly. "Im just a burden..." He said softly turning his head away from Thalion.

He shook his head a little when Mizuki said he was the last to recover and was a burden. "Should I remind you of that stunt you pulled? Who would have been the last to recover then, and thats if I had lived after the shard was removed." He had a point, if Mizuki was so damn useless then why did he commonly seem to be saving his life..

"Stop thinking like this.. your not a burden. If I thought you were you know damn well I'd say so." He had a point there as well. Thal might say some things that Mizuki wanted to hear but he was still rather blunt about his thoughts. Moving he sat next to Mizuki. "if anything I'm the burden, always making you worry each time a fight happens." It was almost funny that Mizuki though he was the burden and no the other way around.

Mizuki shook his head as soon as the words left Thalions mouth "No...you have saved so many things and you will see whos name is remembered" Mizuki said before looking towards Thalion "You were and still are ment for great things" Mizuki said to him with a little smile on his face "Im just fallowing for the ride..." At the look he got from Thalion Mizuki decided it was better to change the subject at hand.

Leaning forward he kissed Thalion lightly with just a brush of lips on his before he pulled away and looked into the eyes of the male before him "Either way nothing matters..." He said "We are both alive and still togther...thats all that matters yes" He said slightly before moving back a little "I mean...unless you wanted that to change as well" He said in a little teasing voice.

"I'd rather not be remembered.." He said thinking of something in his past, why was he thinking of this now? "I didn't want to be remembered when my clan was alive and I don't want to be remembered now. Thats half the reason I want to leave this place." Though Mizuki seemed to continue and say he was till meant for great things, he kept his mouth shut on this. He hoped the hell not, why did things seem to tie back to the very part of his life he had kept away from even Neimi.

Though a few moments later he was glad that Mizuki seemed to change the subject, it was starting to bother him that he was remembering his past and what he was suppose to be doing... something he had very well tossed to the side and said forget it to. He gave Mizuki a bit of a look when he spoke once more before shaking his head. "Nope hate to break it to you, but your stuck dealing with me. Until the day you get tired of saving my sorry ass each time I get into trouble." The last part wasn't being serious though he found it funny in it's own way.

Mizuki smiled at that "Oh yes because you couldnt save your self even if you wanted to" He said with a little laugh at his own comment 'Though thats not a bad thing" He said before turning and looking right at Thalion one more "I mean there is so many things I still want to do with you..." Mizuki then gave a little smirk as his eyes lidded down half way 'and to you..."

Mizuki couldnt help the little quip he added at the end there. It was finaly time for him to stop dwelling on things that could not be change and wrather on things he didnt want to change. Mizuki smiled a little to Thalion remembering there conversation before the war broke though that kind of thing would have to wait till they were both healed.

He shrugged a little not saying a word to what Mizuki said at first. It was true enough he did land himself into quite a bit of trouble. Thinking back to it he had been at Mizuki's mercy a number of times. Though every time he seemed to pull through, even in the times before this odd pairing had occurred. Only a few times could he think of that he saved Mizuki from some fate. Though most of them were well placed savings but still.

Though that last bit Mizuki said caught his attention as he gave the other a bit of a look. "Oh really... guess you better recover faster so you can keep to that plan of yours." He was just teasing but still, though now that he thought about it they did have a rather entertaining conversation not too long before the war broke out.

"Until then, your to rest, your sick and your wounds need to recover still." He said before getting Mizuki to lay back down. "aside from that I have my own to tend to before Neimi hangs me." Aside from that a bath, seeing as the other day Mizuki sort of kept him in the bed, not that he minded but still.

Mizuki smiled at that but gave a little frown as he was forced to lay back into the bed. It was true that he needed his rest but at the same time he wished that the other male would let him help. Mizuki just laid back and watched as Thalion removed the old wrappings on himself with half lidded eyes.

During that time the quietness filled the room and Mizuki couldnt help it. His eyes dropped more and turning his head to the side he fell into a soft sleep. Everything around him was quite and content. He had his lover near and they were safe with those thoughts sleep was easy to be had.

It took little to no time to deal with his own wounds. He wasn't as easy with them as he had been wit Mizuki, though he didn't want to hurt the other and with himself he knew how hard to press or not to. By the time he was finished it seemed that Mizuki was back to being asleep again. That was good he needed the rest before he ended up being worse off then he was.

With him being asleep he took the time o get in a bath and go about starting to fix something to eat afterwards. He figured on something light at the least. Either way he half started to question where Neimi got lost at this time. They had been here for at least a few hours surely she could have found Raden by then.

Mizuki slept soundly for a an hour or two until a shudder raked his body. This shudder was the start of a coughing fit. Curling up into the fetal possition Mizuki closed his eyes tight as he coughed. By the time he was done his breathing was heavy and his forhead was screwed in pain. "That hurt..." He said to no one in a raspy voice.

Mizuki was content in his curled up state with his eyes closed until he felt a hand on his leg lightly brushing it. Opening his eyes he peered at Thalion who seemed to have a worried face "Im okay...' He said before he un curled his joints cracking as he did.

Of course he was worried, he knew why he was sick. This happened every time there was a larger battle. He pushed himself too far each time and would end up being sick. there wasn't too much Thal could really do aside from try to be there. "If you do that many more times I'm going to get a medic." He hoped it wasn't that bad but it would be needed if he was coughing like that.

Moving a little he sat next to where Mizuki was laying before speaking again. "Think you'll be able to drink or eat a little something?" It was a fair question, he figured the other might not be really hungry after that spell or from not feeling well but he still did need to eat. It wasn't like they were immortal or anything and eating wasn't really needed.

Mizuki sighed a little at the mention of the medic "The day I faint or collaps is the day I want to see another medic' Mizuki said slightly and it was true. He was so sick of medics that the mention of one made him almost sad. Though his thoughts stopped as Thalion continued to speak "Drink please..." He said softly "Not sure if soilds would be a good thing...'

With that thought Mizuki began to think about different teas he could make to help himself. The only thing was half the things he needed he was out of. With that thought he turned his head into the pillow below him. The last thing he wanted was to throw up.

"Heh.. I don't blame you. But they know more about what to do then I do.. my parents were not herbalists." Though he was going to leave it at that, he personally didn't want to get into his family history, not when recently he had been having thoughts about that said past coming back to bite him at some point.

Either way he did get up and get Mizuki some water like he wanted. When he came back he spoke again after sitting down again. "Thats why I made soup and not something heavy.. though if you don't think you can handle it now you can always try later." He would have to eat after a while. Though knowing Mizuki he'd wait till he had to..

His mind did come across thinking about some of the herb mixes Mizuki always swore by, though he figured there was a reason he never mentioned any of them. At the same time if Neimi was around she did have some basic knowledge on such things.Probably from hanging around the medics when she wasn't training. Though he'd leave it in his thoughts, Mizuki probably had whatever idea made up in his mind and it was a lost cause to try and change it.

"And I know more then the medics...' Mizuki said. And it was true not only from healing magic but to herbs as well Mizuki knew alot. Though his knowledge was vast he still did not know of some things that he wished he did. Sighing a little he shook his head though the comment on Thalions past made him think a little. Or alot wrather. Mizuki when it came to Thalion knew really nothing and that brought a tiny frown to his lips.

Though it left as Thalion returned, Mizuki nodded greatfully as he was brought the water. Taking a small sip at first he wet his mouth down before taking one that was bigger. Judging by the way his stomach gurgled when the water hit it he was not sure if he wanted to eat or continue to drink for that matter. Placing the cup on the stand by the bed Mizuki looked to Thalion "No...I would rather not risk it" He said slightly to him.

As far as his past, Thal rather keep it to himself for whatever reason. Personally seeing as his clan was dead he saw no purpose in really bringing any of it up. Plus he was never proud of his past anyway. Though it wasn't like he had a choice in the matter. In fact when his clan was destroyed or rather destroyed itself he was rather damn glad. It saved him a ton of trouble.

He nodded a little at Mizuki. "Maybe later then." At the least he was drinking something, that was a good sign. Though thinking about it after Mizuki was better it might be half a idea to get some information from him as far as his little teas and potions went. Least then he wouldn't feel completely useless if something like this happened again. Though on that note he'd rather something like this not happen for a long while.

Mizuki just laid there and watched as Thalion got up and began to finish the work around him. He was contest cuddled into the thin sheet of soft pillows watching the man he loved going about like nothing was wrong. Mizukis atention was then brought to the door as it opened and Neimim and Raden stepped on.

Neimi looked wrather upset and Raden seemed almost in the same boat. Okay there was something wrong here "About time you guys showed up" Mizuki said in a little bit of a raspy voice "I was thinking that I was going to have to send a search party of blood hounds to find you" He said with a little snicker but it was cut off as he got a glare from Neimi.

Of course he was trying to act like nothing was wrong, he always tried to ignore things when he could help it. Though he wasn't ignoring them when they were still on his mind. But at the least doing odds and ends about kept him from thinking too deeply on them. Mizuki would recover and everything would go back to normal fully. Though the door opening caught his attention.

He didn't say anything though he also noticed Raden seemed upset about something, Neimi as well. Though with Neimi she could be mad it took her this long to find him. Neimi seemed cross at the moment as she walked to the sofa and sat on it. "Do you know how long it took me to find him?" She complained a little before Thal shook his head listening to her. His first thought was thats why Raden was being trained as a scout and she wasn't. She couldn't hide to save her life.

Raden seemed to keep his thoughts to himself, though he still seemed a little distant from Neimi and he didn't sit with her on the sofa. Probably worried she'd bite or something. A few moments later Neimi spoke again looking at Mizuki. "So what did you want to talk about as a family?" She tilted her head a little, it was odd for what they had going on to be called a family but she didn't mind it.

Mizuki sighed a little and it seemed his rest was really done now. Sitting up he moved so his back pressed into the wall with pillows all around him and the sheet covering his legs and stomach. "Well...as we all know the war is over and done with" Mizuki said slightly before looking over to Thalion for a second before he looked back to the other two "So this means that...we dont really have to stay here"

When Neimi gave him a confused look he spoke again "This place holds great memories but it also holds alot of bad ones" He said slightly looking down at his hands for a moment before he turned his gave back to them "Thalion and I have spoken to each other and..." He paused a moment "We want to leave this place...head somewhere quite" He said "Maybe south to the mountains" He stated.

Though he was not speaking Neimi began to speak but he cut her off "We are telling you this because we want you two to come with us" He said and watched as Neimis face changed from angry to understanding. Radens face was hard to read at the moment "We could all travel down there make a home and l;ive peacefully" He said "Grow our own food, we would have no problems at all" or so he thought.

Neimi seemed to listen to Mizuki explain himself and the talk they wanted to have. At first she thought they were trying to leave her and Raden here. But that didn't seem to be the case, they were more or less asking if they wanted to come along. Even when he was done speaking she seemed to think on it a moment before she bothered to answer with anything. "I want to go... " She finally spoke up before looking at Raden. She wasn't sure he'd want to go. He might see this as a way to finally be rid of the lot of them.

Thalion could have guessed she would want to come, though it did seem like Raden wasn't going to speak up about the matter. Whatever had happened between the two seemed to be stuck on his mind for some unknown reason. Personally Thal wasn't sure he wanted to know even.

Though after a few moments Neimi seemed to look at Raden who was still off in his own world. She spoke his name once as a question before he glanced at her and sighed knowing he'd never hear the end of it if he said no. "Did I have a honest choice in this?" Neimi huffed a little before saying no to answer him. "Well seeing as I got that answer.. guess Ii'm stuck going along with this.. no point to stay here anyway."

Mizuki gave a smile at that. So this little family he found for himself seemed to want to stay as a little family. That right there made Mizuki feel like the luckiest man alive. Looking over to Thalion he gave a light smile to him before turning his head back to Neimi and Raden "We will leave as soon as we can" Mizuki said to them.

In truth if it was up to Mizuki they would be leaving tomorrow or the day after but he knew that in his condition Thalion would refuse and fight the whole time maybe he could try his luck "Maybe tomorrow...we could grab supplies and pack out bags to go...say good bye to people and-" But his words were cut off and he looked almost a little shocked at the outburst from Thalion fallowed by Neimi.

"Maybe tomorrow my ass... your not going anywhere till you start feeling better." He wasn't talking about the wounds either. "I'll get things started tomorrow though.. but your not allowed to pack" Neimi quickly has her own five cents to the conversation as she agreed with Thal. "Besides me and Raden can pack. We'll need to see about getting horses as well Unless we were planning to hook Raden to the cart." She smiled a bit at the thought. Though Raden didn't seem as amused by this.

Thal seemed to grumble a little to himself at the mention of horses. His thoughts went back to home at the creatures they had there, they were more sturdy then a horse.. but they'd be hard pressed finding one here. Eh it didn't matter. "Well if that settles it we'll look into getting a cart and some beasts.. " Looking at Mizuki he shrugged a little. "Who knows depending on someones condition in a day or so we could leave."

Mizuki pouted at that. He knew that he was not in the greatest of shapes but if they were to get a cart like suggested then why would it matter? He wouldnt have to walk anything or anywhere it would just be sitting or controling the cart. Mizuki though sighed and hung his head "Fine fine...in a day or to...hopefully" He said silently almost under his breath.

Even though there was talk about moving and all of them going as a make shift family Mizuki had a bad gut feeling about this or something to do about it. Though the more he thought on it the more it made him uneasy. Shaking his head lightly he huffed a little and that huff turned into a cough that raked his body harsher then before. Okay he really needed something to sooth that.

"Neimi..." He said in a raspy voice when he was able to catch his breath "Do me a favor...see if you can find mint leaves and ginger root...." He said to her. He knew that his stash was out of these things but thats all he needed to help his cough.

If Thal knew Mizuki had a uneasy feeling about this he might tell him he kept thinking that something from his past was going to come from no where and ruin things. Though he wouldn't mention such things just out of random. He'd rather his past stay just that.. in the past and dead with the rest of his clan.

Neimi looked at him before thinking a moment and nodded. "I think .. yeah I think theres some there." She was thinking aloud before she stood and said she'd be back before walking out of the building. Raden let out a heavy sigh as she left before leaning against a wall. He seemed exhausted for some reason. Though having to deal with Neimi anyone would be.

Mizuki nodded his head to her in thanks as she got up and left the room. Though now with Neimi gone his gaze moved to Raden who rested up on the wall "You know she cares" Was all he said sensing something else was hidden there then just what seemed to be on top. "If one chooses a change they must take the first move to see the ripples in the pond" He replied.

Mizuki had a feeling that it was something that Raden needed to hear but not so bluntly. He basically told him that Neimi did care even if she didnt show it but to see that she dose he needed to take the first step. Smiling he turned and loooked to Thalion who gave a questioning look and he shook his head. That was between him and Raden.

Thal would never get some of his riddles that he spewed out. Though at the same time he didn't have to. For now he left the two to their talk. He needed to clean up a few things anyway where they were gone for the better part of a week and Neimi was a almost sorry house keeper.

Raden looked at Mizuki before sighing a little. "I know she cares." He knew what Mizuki had meant. But still. When it came to her he wasn't sure how to take some of her actions. It was hard to just say she was a normal female. On the same note she .. seemed to leave hints towards certain things but he didn't see her that way.

Mizuki gave a nod of his head to Raden before he stopped though he added one more thing "Just remember that time is a harsh mistress to much or two little and the thing it effects could be lost with out knowledge" It was true every word he said though to understand him would be the trick needed.

Just as he finished speaking the door opened again and Neimi walked in carrying a little sack no doubt filled with the two things he needed. Looking to thalion he asked nicely "Could you take those and shred the ginger into some water and boil it...then add the mint leaves to it with some of the bamboos spine I have in my supplise?" Mizuki figured he would teach Thal something even if the male didnt want to learn.

Raden nodded, though he stopped when Neimi walked in. He never said a word further. Neimi seemed in a better mood then she was before as she handed the pouch to Thal. She was curious why Mizuki asked him to do it. Other then he was already in the kitchen as it was so water was right there. Either way she stayed near just to see how this turned out. Not that she had made this mix before herself but at least she knew a few things more then Thal, or at least she thought.

Though oddly he seemed to catch everything that Mizuki had told him to do. Then again he did do most of the cooking so this was hardly complicated. Neimi went and got the spines needed from Mizuki's stash before returning to Thal with them. She had timed that perfectly almost.

when it was all said and done Neimi seemed to look at Thal before getting a remark she should expect. "What? did you think I didn't know how to prepare something like this?" She made a face before saying no. He shrugged a little before finishing the process so Mizuki could have it. "I did have scholars as parents.. I do have half a brain."
