Mizuki growled at Thalions words. He was not that stubborn...okay maybe he was but Thalion loved him anyways so what did it matter? As he tried to get Thalion into the bed he tried himself to get into the tub though he failed as he almost fell face first. He was greatfull that Thalion did not listen to him as he helped Mizuki into the tub.

Sighing at the hot water he closed his eyes before sinking into the tub a little "Oooohhhhhhh yeah...." He said with a sigh "That feels good" He said with a smile. Though he opened his eyes as Thalion spoke again and got into the tub "Why should I have to ask?" He asked with a tilt of his head as he watched Thalion get in though he gasped a little as he was pulled into a dark lap.

Sighing he moved to rest so his back was pressed into a dark chest. With sore pale hands he brought his braid forward and undid it letting the white strands flow in around him. Sighing Mizuki reached and grabbed the cloth on the edge of the tub. Dipping it into the water he rung it out before lightly brushing his chest hissing as he started to clean it. "You know..." He said as he sighed "I am glad your alive" he said pausing in cleaning the cut as he let his head fall back onto Thalions shoulder.

The day was long and with being as sore and out of energy as he was this simple act in itself took alot out of him. "So much fighting in one day" He said with a sigh as he turned his head before lightly kicking a dark cheek "Thank you...for your help" He said lightly as he reached his hand up and moved to start cleaning the wound again.

[Rosekitten]

"Because you saying it's not fair isn't telling me what you want now is it?" He had a point, Mizuki never said he wanted the other to join him. Not in a direct way. No he had to go on about how he was going to go do it alone and all of that. That and he wasn't a mind reader, let alone good at relationships in the least. Though apparently he caught on rather quick.

He hated seeing Mizuki this worn out, he could hardly move. Though it was his own doing in the last few spells he had forced out. "Who knows... If I wasn't than maybe you wouldn't have nearly died so many times in the past day and a half." He had a point there, odds were Mizuki wouldn't have been noticed by the king in the first place or at the least he wouldn't have been sent out here because of some old saying the King had heard.

"Still as glad about it?" He smirked a little knowing the answer was the same. He sighed slightly knowing today was nothing compared to what the actual fight was going to be like. "And it's only just begging..." What was this attack over anyway? Land? Who knows, maybe a relic of something, not that he really cared so long as it ended sooner rather than later. Moving a little he placed his arms around Mizuki's middle before resting his head against the other's shoulder. "You'd have done the same.. So I don't see why your thanking me." He said before kissing the bare shoulder once. Why couldn't things stay like this.. just for a few moments not having anything to worry about.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki smiled as he felt the arms around him. Turning his head he turned it into Thalions neck witha sigh "I could say what I want...but can you handle what I want?" He asked with a smile on his lips as he kissed Thalions neck. He couldnt help it he was a pervert at heart. Even with what he said Mizuki didnt let Thalion get a moment to say anything as he cut of the words with a nip to the neck.

"Tonight was a close call" He said lightly as he went back to cleaning the cuts he had as the cloth turned pink from crusted blood "I wounder why it even happened" He said with a little sigh "Not here more then a day..." He lightly shook his head then hissed as he brushed to hard against his chest "That hurt..." He said in a wince before moving and sitting up careful of Thalion under him.

Even though the movement gave him ideas as Thalion didnt let go of his waist he couldnt act on them. Not after something like that just happening the same day. No he would rather that be later when nothing else would rest on his mind. Bringing his hair over his shoulder he ran his fingers through his hair to clean the dirt from it. With out even knowing he began to hum a song from the olden days softly.

[Rosekitten]

There was a thought, what did Mizuki even really want? "Thought you had what you wanted already." He teased a little though he stopped that thought as he felt Mizuki's lips on his neck. Tease... was his first thought though he never voiced anything for a moment. He hated and loved it at the same time, something so simple.

Breathing out a little he sighed slightly hearing Mizuki speak of today being close. "I ask that about a lot of things. Maybe they felt threatened, or they were testing our forces. Enough got away to report damage and what our numbers are." Thinking on that ... they should have hunted the fleeing ones down.

He seemed to have a few thoughts on his mind, though at least just staying here with Mizuki was helping with keeping any stress levels he had at bay. Over all he felt like if he had done a better job Mizuki wouldn't have been in danger at all. But it was a bit late for that now. but those thoughts left soon enough as Mizuki started humming, he vaguely remembered the song, least the tune of it.

[Pinkie]

When he was done washing his hair Mizuki smiled as he turned a little and looked at Thalion with half lidded tired eyes "I dont know about you but...I think a bandage then bed is the best idea...besides you" He said with a smirk before he went to get out. That is when he paused and turned to look at Thalion. Leaning down he kissed the male with a smile "Help me?" He asked "I...dont think I could get out alone" He admited.

It was weird coming from Mizuki but it was the truth. He did need help and if he wanted Thalion to change some things then he should be willing to change as well. If Thalion wanted him to ask for help, it would happen...once in a while.

With some help and some grunts of pain Mizuki was out of the tub and dried. His chest was wrapped up and his hair was braided again. Sighing he sat on the edge of the bed. Looking up he sat Thalion just standing there looking at him "Come to bed my love..." He said lightly.

[Rosekitten]

Sounded like a idea to him. "You forgot to add if none of the idiots bother me in there." Mizuki didn't have to wake up if something did come up, he knew very well the other needed rest. Though he wasn't expecting Mizuki to openly ask for help to get out. Not that he was going to let him try to do so on his own anyway.

Helping the other out and getting dry. Though seeing as Mizuki was letting him help he also took care of the wrapping. Probably a good thing seeing a Mizuki was falling asleep while sitting there almost. Though he still had the energy to braid his hair. It wouldn't be Mizuki otherwise. When Mizuki said come to bed he was about to but paused as he heard something outside before someone questioning if either of them were awake still.

"You asked me why I tossed pants on.. now you know why." He had gotten half dressed almost right after they were out of the bath. Reason why... he knew someone was going to bother him before he got the chance to even touch the bed. Either way he told Mizuki he'd be a moment getting the other to lay down.

It was Felix and the woman from before as he told them to come in. Though Thal was standing there still without a shirt and his arms crossed. Felix knew right away he was annoyed. "Better have a good reason for bothering me at this hour."

Though from the sounds of it there were just a bunch of small issues, and the woman had insisted that they give the report. "I tried to warn her-" Thal sighed a little. "Look you don't have to give me a report every time someone breaths. Really it's only needed for the more important information. She tried to protest but stopped as she nodded understanding. She had been shipped over from a different group and apparently their leader wanted everything to be reported under the sun.

After that was settled he got rid of both of them before shaking his head a little. "It's worse than looking after children I sear to it." He said before getting into the bed next to Mizuki, who of course wasn't asleep yet probably over hearing most of the conversation or forcing himself to stay away one or the other. Pulling the other close he breathed out a little just wanting to have things go back to normal again, and not the way they currently were where they could die tomorrow.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki sighed as the sound of some one there reached his ears. He didnt bother placing a shirt on as he laid back in the bed covering his naked lower half with the sheet. He was to tired to go and find pants at the moment not to mention the fact that some one was here.

Listening he sighed and agreed with Thalion as he spoke. Yes they did not need a report every hour and by the looks of it she would have done just that if not told otherwise. Sighing he laid back and listened as the two left and Thalion began to walk over. Now that he was coming to bed Mizuki thought it best to get up and find those pants.

Just as Thalion sat down he stood. Taking a moment for his balance he walked over to all the trunk. Digging through it for a moment he didnt care how he looked bent over tired and sore until he found what he needed. Mizuki then took a moment or two to pull them up and on but when he did he sighed bore walking back over to the bed.

Mizuki all but fell into it and into Thalions arms when he made it back. The day was long and he was sore as sore could be not to mention physically drained. Sighing he curled into Thalions side his hear resting part on the males chest and part on his shoulder with one arm thrown over a dark chest he sighed. "Night...." He said softly though that was all he managed to get out.

[Rosekitten]

After Mizuki seemed to come back to bed and settled down he smiled weakly as the other barely was able to say night as he normally did. He had told the other night as well but as passed out as the other seemed to be at the moment he doubted the words were heard.

Over the course of the next few days things slowly managed to get back on track and there was no sign of any more attacks in the near future at least. At least something was finally going right for once. Most of the wounded were healed by this time as well and any damage was close to being finished as well as the enlargement of the camp well in progress.

Thal was going over a few maps checking some of the tunnels that the scouts had come across when he had a odd feeling that his peace for the moment was about to be interrupted. One of those ever get the feeling something was going to happen no matter what you said sort of deals.

Sure enough Felix burst into the tent but before Thal could say a word he had placed the dragon egg they still had for whatever reason on the table he was sitting at. Thal's ears went back a little before glaring at Felix. "Do you ever take time off?" "Yes when I sleep and it gets disrupted by the countless idiots we have... your one of them."

Felix shrugged a little before holding up a few bottles he had in his other hand. "That may be true... but if you ask me you both need some time off. The camp won't fall apart if you two relax a night you know." He shrugged a little before he started to act like he was leaving, not that he was going to let Thal get off that easily. Normally he wasn't this busy so he knew damn well he was not enjoying all of the planning and work he had to do now. "But if your both just going to be workaholics... Maybe i can get Tina to drink with me." He grinned a little, Tina was the female lead they had here. "You know I'd almost pay to see you try that... but I know the out come already and we don't need you in the medic tent."

Felix figured Mizuki would say no though he also knew Thal normally didn't turn down a few drinks. Though for the moment he seemed to not say anything as to if that meant he was agreeing or not. Given the way this human acted it was probably amazing to think he was even a high rank let alone alive.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki was going over some different herbs that he had and mixing some of them together just to make things easier down the road. Though as he continued he was about to turn to Thalion to tell him he needed more of one herb before Felix burst through the tent door.

Mizuki raised a brow at the dragon egg but didnt question anything but the moment the bottles came into view Mizuki tilted his head. From where he was sitting the male had wine in his hands and a couple bottles at that. Even though he had a point that the camp wouldnt fall apart Mizuki was second guessing it.

Shaking his head Mizuki stood from where he was and walked over to Felix with out saying anything he grabbed one of the bottles and looked at it "Eh...could be a better kind and year" He said reading the lable "But beggers cant be choosers right?" He asked before placing the bottle on the table. Mizuki then removed the dragon egg and put it aside nicely before grabbing three glasses and sitting back down.

When he did sit down he noticed that the two of them were looking at him like he was crazy "What?" He asked "Do you know how long its been since I relaxed and had a drink?" He said with a tilt of his head before he pourd a glasses for the three of them. Picking one up he smiled "To friends and more battles to be won" He said with a smile

[Rosekitten]

When Mizuki seemed to give in to Felix's little plan Thal was almost dumbfounded. Though he wished he had dropped the egg honestly. Felix had been bugging him about it for a while saying even when they first collected them Thal never once got near them. He replied with he had his reasons. Ones he wasn't about to own up to but still reasons none the less.

Felix seemed to shrug off the fact Mizuki insulted the drinks. but least he redeemed it with the next statement that they couldn't really be picky. Though after he spoke again Felix smirked before saying anything. "See thats what I'm talking about." He said before looking at Thal as Mizuki was fixing the glasses.

"Your a bad influence you know that?" "coming from the elf that lived with dwarfs for how many years was it again?" Thal sighed knowing he had lost this fight, he use to go drinking all the time with Felix and a few others till things got out of hand so to say. "One than I" "no your not getting away with one, your going to skip work for the night and thats that. You can't plan out the battle anymore than what you've already done so deal with it."

It was probably because he was tired he was even protesting to this as the other two seemed to be waiting on him to join them in the glass raising. "your both bad influences.." he said weakly. Though Felix waved him off knowing after a few drinks he's calm down a bit.

[Pinkie]

After the cheers was over Mizuki smiled and took a drink "Oh come now we all know you need to loosen up a little and relax for once!" Little did he know that those words would come back to haunt him.

Now it was later in the night and all three of them were laughing and joking with each other. The table before them was covered in cards and empty bottles. Mizukis head was spinning and he knew he was drunk but he felt as if the night needed to continue. It was rare for him to have some fun in times like this.

"H-hey hey...I got an Idea" Mizuki said with a smile "We need to do..s-somthing" He said with a smile. Then his eyes lit up as he looked at the two of them "T-truth...dare" He said with a smile looking at them "Unless your b-both chickens!" He said with a laugh

[Rosekitten]

They were probably both right. He had been a little in over his head from the moment they set off on this journey. Lack of sleep and everything else was starting to get the better of him. Though in the long run he was glad he gave in though out of the three he might have been the calmest.

Though Felix even plastered still was whipped both Mizuki and Thal at any card game they could come up with. About than was when Mizuki said he had a idea and blurted it out. Was he serious? Though the chicken comment sealed the deal as Felix and Thal looked at one another. Though Felix had the big mouth as he agreed to it. "Wellll it was yer idea." More or elss saying Mizuki got to go first.

It was amusing on its own hearing the two struggling with words. Yes by now Thal was pretty out of it himself but he was more of a calm drunk than his friend he hung around with. Actually he had little to no temper in this state oddly enough, other emotions were another story altogether.

[Pinkie]

"Alright alright" Mizuki said thinking about what he could do. That was when he got a smile "Alright...Felix...truths or dares" He asked and the male smiled giving some cocky answer of truth. Mizuki smiled "St-starting with truth" He said before he thought of it.

"Okay...there has been...s-somthing I have always wanted to know" He said slightly looking at him "You talk...big but have you...ever andi-i mean ever...had sex?" He asked looking towards him. Mizuki knew that alot of men who talked the way that he did talked and that was it. "I...dont know if y-you have" He said with a smile.

This was when he looked over to Thalion with a smile "W-what do you think Thal?" He asked with a smirk "Think...he had?" He asked with a laugh before taking another sip of the drink he had before him.

[Rosekitten]

Thal shrugged a little he never really thought about it to be honest. Hell on that note... "with his luck? No." He laughed slightly having lost count of how many times Felix had been shot down or slapped if not worse from time to time. Yeah he could see him being the one who just talks a lot.

Felix crossed his arms sitting back in the chair a little before sighing. "Even Thal .. wow some friend you are thinking that. Coming from someone I've never seen get near a woman no less." Felix smirked a little afterwards knowing his answer. "Of course I have.. I was due to be married at one time er anotherr..." He waved his hand in the air a little knowing that was some time ago now. Five years might be nothing to elves but for humans that was a good amount of wasted time.

It was funny that Felix would say something like though. Of course he didn't try to hook up with females... he loved someone else. not that he had any plans of telling Felix this, or at least he thought he didn't..

[Pinkie]

Mizuki looked at him "Married...really?" He asked before shaking his head "To be honest...n-never would of guessed that" He said with a smiled before looking to Felix again "Well...Mr...to be married" He said wtih a nod of his head "I do think it is your turn" He asked lightly with a nod of his head.

Mizuki didnt know who or what the male before him was going to ask but he made it up in his mind that he was going to say or do what ever it took to win this game of truth or dare. Only because of his drunken state did he think the way he was. Oh yes give him anything and he would do it.

Looking to Felix he sighed and smiled as the male just sat there not yet choosing any one or anything. "Awee come now!" He said with a smile on his face before leaning back in his chair a little causing his braid to move over his chest "Dont just s-sit there" He said with a smile.

[Rosekitten]

Felix nodded a little, though he was thinking a bit and in his drunk state that was probably bad. Over all seeing as he worked in this field it was probably for the best he wasn't married. But his luck with women did seem to be cursed that was for sure, that or he failed on purpose one or the other.

When Mizuki spoke he shrugged a little knowing exactly what he was going to ask. "As tempting as it is to force Thal to tell his dark little secrets .. there is one thing I've been wanting to see." To admit Thal was curious of this, Though odds of Felix remembering this in the morning was probably rather slim with how much slurring was in his speech, over done didn't come close.

"Mizzzuki.. I dare you to let down your hair." He seemed content with that as Thal looked at him a little oddly. "That was your big dare?" "Yeesh.. he never wears it down." Well if he was happy with it so be it.
