The elder quirked an eyebrow looking at the two crying on the floor then to Nobuo “They have been hurt” he said as if stating a blunt fact as he walked over to them. Moved to his knees “Separate please” his voice was the same, emotionless but Rie knew better than to try his patience and moved away from Arata but, at the same time moved her hand into his and closed her eyes allowing the man to check her over, feeling his cold hands on her skin she shook and clenched her brother's hand tightly as for support

Once satisfied Rie was fine he stood dusting his robes off before taking the half pace to Arata and knelt once more to check him over. Once again satisfied he moved onto a side pouch and brought out a cinnamon stick each for them. Slowly Rie's hand went forward hesitantly for the treat almost as if she didn't actually want to take it, this was shown in the fear in her eyes. Taking the treat her head drooped “Th-thank you master Xashino” she whispered

Standing once more after the rewards had been taken he dusted off his robes once more and looked to Nobuo “If you know they are important then you should be more careful with them” he stated, his voice cold, but his eyes showed understanding on how he would understand the boy knew they where different and the treatment was to be expected.

The elder tilted his head on hearing that he had asked people on the location of the two children “Now you are lying, no one but the elders know of this place...” he then sighed a little understanding he was being a little to brash not listening to every word “My apologies..” he bowed his head slightly “I did not hear all words.” he finished as he raised his head “Yes, they can be a handful at times, but show me any child be they high born, tarnished or even those like these two who are not flighty when they are children” for the first time he smiled.

He watched as the children where yanked to their feet “Careful” he stated once more watching as their free hand remained holding to the others, though he gripped Nobuo's sleeve to prevent him walking off.
