He did wish it though. To keep Mizuki and Nytria safe it seemed worth it to him. Though Mizuki said it wasn't and he would never wish it on anyone. He might not but Thalion would rather it had happened to him then to Mizuki. All of this time he had been working to help Nytria and he had tried to help Mizuki but it seemed to do little good. Even now he wasn't sure all of this was doing much good.

Though after that Mizuki spoke up that he deserved it. This made Thalion disagree. "If this was your fate I sure as hell hate to see mine when it comes due." Though he still never believed in fate and things having to be paid up as Mziuki did. If going off of this then he was going to have dues at some point or another. His blades alone had killed enough, karma didn't take into account of who's cause was just or not.

Though as Mizuki kept speaking about the only thing that had kept him going all this time. That was what hurt the most. He knew he had tried his best to get to the other but he still felt like he had failed as he didn't get there in time to prevent anything. Sure Mizuki was safe now but he wasn't sure if things would ever be back to how they were. Let alone he had pulled back from the other. He had left him alone even when he was here and safe from everything... when he should have been at his side.

After that night things did progress slowly. Months still passed but things did sort of progress to where Mizuki was being a little social. At the least was walking around the castle and not staying locked away in the room. Though things were still hardly on steady grounds.

Though this was about eight months down from that first talk they had. At the least Mizuki didn't cringe, well all of the time, when someone got close to him. Though by this time the two were just starting to even come close to acting like couple again. Though it still seemed like a distant relationship as Mizuki would still dwell heavily on the past that was burned in his mind.

By now Thalion said enough was enough. There was a constant reminder to Mizuki everyday with the body he had. He had mentioned the idea to the other on how to fix it and Mizuki had said he wanted it to be fixed but to say the least nothing came of that conversation as Mizuki was still far from ready for anything like that. Thalion wasn't trying to rush the other either.

Though tonight he had plans. Mizuki still wasn't to the point where he was doing the work he use to do, but that was fine by Thalion. Less he had to worry about as far as where the other would be. No today had been a fairly good day, he was already done with the captive male that was still being kept alive. Luna and Ryza agreed to deal with take care of anything in the later hours that Belquiri couldn't handle.

No tonight he had plans. Once more that date came around to make when they first got married. Even if Mizuki wasn't his normal self and things could still improve he was going to at least show that the date still meant something to him no matter what. Hell even if through everything Mizuki never returned to his old self he was still the same person he married back then.

He had it all planned out. Considering things he was pretty sure he had topped that stunt Mizuki had pulled that one night. Ok maybe not but he was trying and he wasn't even sure that Mizuki was going to go for any of this. Now it was down to getting Mizuki and getting him to trust him long enough to pull this off.

Seeing as it was getting to be the evening hours he knew Mizuki would be heading back to the room. It was like clockwork almost that the male would come back to the room to take that overly long bath he always took. Though he did cheat a little with Belquiri's help on getting a mixture together to help relax Mizuki. Not really for any reason but just to keep the other from maybe having one of his random moments where he would freak out.

Not only that she was so excited that she made it smell good and everything. Something that was useful and had a good smell.. yeah that was what Belquiri normally tried to do, or make potions taste good one or the other. Either way the bath was already prepared and he had gone a bit out of the way to pull this one off actually. The water being prepared already with a few rose petals in the water, though it was their color that was odd or rare rather. The rose petals were lavender in color, one of the rarest rose breeds and he had pulled a number of strings to find some just to tonight.

Though the bath was all Mizuki he knew how the other still felt about removing any clothing even in front of him. They might sleep together at night but it was mostly clothed. Not that he would be too far if Mizuki needed him.. or wanted company either or.

After the bath the plan was dinner, and in hopes that Mizuki's taste in food didn't change over the years. At the least not too much anyway. After dinner the plan was just some form of time together. Ok the real plan was trying to pull off a massage. But it didn't have to be without clothes or anything. If all went well he would settle with one night of Mizuki not breaking down . That would be a step forward to him compared to everything else.
