It was probably foolish of him to release the bindings for Mizuki, or the fact he did feel sorry for the man. He might be a powerful general but at the same time the guy had no real purpose aside from following orders. Though at the same time not like Mizuki could get out of this place without going through the gate keepers.. so what was there to worry about him getting that far?

Thalion had managed to doze off pretty much forgetting that he had a charge he was suppose to be watching.. let alone that it was the same man who wanted nothing better then to kill him a few days ago. Though probably about the time that Mizuki settled back in the same spot once he was finished Thalion sat up suddenly from the bed n what appeared to be a cold sweat. What ever images that plagued his mind had really gotten to him this time around.

He seemed to stay there a moment getting his breathing back under control, about the same time he remembered the damn charm still on his chest. Ok yeah that wasn't something he should have forgotten about.. not with Mizuki not having any binding and he knew damn well what damage the thing could do. He was going to blame the charm either way for the odd dreams he had been having, ones that he really didn't want to have but at the same time he didn't mind aside from the fact that they were so sudden.

After he had calmed himself down he sighed heavily and laid back down, he still wanted to rest it was a different type of resting when he wasn't bound. Though he had noticed Mizuki on the floor again.. he wasn't going to ask what happened or where the shirt the man had been wearing ended up to. "you don' have to stay in the same spot you know.. I swear I don't rig my own living quarters to kill people"

In truth Thalion didn't know what the hell to do with this guy, he should be giving him the 3d degree and a first class torturing. But really that wasn't what he did, he never dealt with the captives he either went out and brought them back or killed them aside from that he never wanted to bother. It was a hassle to toy with someones life like that.

Though he had a few plans for Mizuki but they wouldn't happen till tomorrow, just because he was being nice now didn't mean that the General was getting off with nothing at all. Though the idea of not being tortured probably stumped Mizuki, after all the hell he had put Thalion through, yet here he seemed to care less about any of it. Truth was he didn't forget about it, but being alive and knowing that he wasn't doomed to die in that damn encampment was a blessing on it's own.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki sat there and listened to everything that Thalion had said with no care in the world. Honestly he knew where they were, the southeren mountains of the west. That was not hard to figure out. It was the 'how do I get out of here' that had Mizuki scratching his head. For now it would seem that he needed to stay calm and relaxed and just did everything that his captor had told him to do.

He was told to take a bath and get clean and so he did. There was no ferther instrunctions on what he needed/had to do so he sat back down where he once was right infront of the window the moon light making his hair glow slightly.

[Rosekitten]

Seeing as Mizuki never said a word he sighed again sitting up. "geese I think I liked it better when you were threatening to kill me if I didn't tell you shit" It was getting to him that he was just .. sitting there silently. What was he expecting him to do? It's not like Thalion was really militarily trained he never was told what to do with a captive hell he didn't really care aside from a few minor tidbits of information he really didn't see the point of keeping a captive alive.

It seemed he still wasn't getting a response out of this guy, what could he be thinking about. Then again he knew damn well what he was thinking about. How to get out of this place. The gate keepers were heavily guarded to prevent anyone taking them out and even if Mizuki was at full strength it'd be a army against him to try and escape to tell this information to his Eastern army.

"tsk do whatever you want then, I wouldn't get comfortable cause your pulling your own weight tomorrow if you expect to eat." He moved again and laid back down before turning over to lay on his stomach, it was rather funny at how care free Thalion seemed to be. His mortal enemy in the same room unbound and he seemed to care less about it. Though at the same time Thlaion in most cases never fully went to sleep either..

[Pinkie]

Mizuki sat there thinking about what they were going to do to him tomorrow but he got his answer when Thalion explained to him that if he wanted to eat he would have to pull his own weight. Mizuki wanted to laugh at that. He was the general of the eastern army! He didnt do manual labour everyone else did. Thats how it was. Mizuki had learned at an early age that if captured never speak for every word that is spoken could be used against you. And it was true. Mizuki dipped his head as he fell into a slight meditated sleep. It would seem that the only way to get some rest would be this.

He awoke to the early morning orbs making their way to the cave roof to give lighting to everyone within the camp. It would seem that camp life started early early here. Mizuki cracked his neck with a sigh. It was going to be a long day and Thalion still slept.

[Rosekitten]

"Thalion!" a voice rang from outside of the room, it sounded like the little girl again. She called out his name again before sighing and screaming louder with her next statement. "Thalion get your ass up!" Thalion never moved a inch, sure he heard her but he wasn't moving.

She sighed before picking the lock and opening the door as she walked in, though she stopped short seeing Mizuki. She drew back a little and let out a slight whimper staying close to the door. Thalion heard the whimper and sat up to see what the issue was. though about that time he was reminded that Mizuki was even still there.

His ears went back a little as he looked at the girl "who taught you to pick locks?" She smiled a bit before speaking though she still clung to the door. "you did.. remember" He thought a moment before groaning "damn it.. I'm fixing that lock later, see if you can get it then" he hissed a little knowing there were a few that were next to impossible to pull that stunt on.

She still held onto the door determined to not move from there as she spoke again "I'm suppose to tell you that your working in the depths today, and that your not to slack off just because you were missing for three days." She left after she was done speaking, Thalion was about to shoo her off anyway.

He sighed a little before getting off the bed and walking to grab a shirt throwing it on. "damn what'd I do piss him off?" he laughed slightly before looking towards Mizuki. "your coming too, I expect you can keep up it's just a little digging." Though he forgot to mention it was through rock.. nor did he really know that Mizuki never worked really .. things here were different compare to the Eastern camp.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki looked up as the little girl entered the living...shack? His light lavender eyes locked with her scared ones before he lowered his head again as if nothing had happened. He knew that the little girl infront of him was mortified that he was still there but in away Mizuki figures that he had did her a favor. The worl was full of evil being and people...though his name was said to be one of them. Mizuki shook his head lightly before he stood and walked over to the bathing quarters where he left his shirt. Placing it upon his back he stretched sore muscles as he left the room and stood beside Thalion. The other made a comment that he didnt listen to he meerly just fallowed the other out of the shack and down a road way.

This road way lastest a little ways before finaly ending at a entrance. The sounds of breaking rock, grunting and swearing could be heard from the dark shadows of the cave. It would seem that they were expanding the cave back, which would meen digging through rock, dirt and anything else that maybe within the walls of the cave. Great it was going to be a long day.

Before Thalion could say anything Mizuki walked over to a shovel that was propped up on the wall with many others and took his leave into the dark cave. Do to his abilities the darkness had no effect on him and he saw it clear as if day was upon them. Picking a spot that held two men at a time he began to shovel and dig loading up the cart behind him. There was no one working beside him at the moment. He slightly wondered if Thalion would take that place.

[Rosekitten]

He shrugged a little seeing as Mizuki started working without saying a word. He was about to do the same but was stopped short as a human walked up behind him and spoke. "didn't kill him yet? Guess working him is as good as anything" Thalion flinched a little before turning to see the owner of the voice. "You said do whatever I wanted he was my problem so why the hell kill him if I can make him useful" He snapped a little before getting a pickaxe and walking to start working on the rock next to where Mizuki was.

"your right I did say that, figured you'd just kill him" The man laughed a little, apparently this was the so called general of the Western army, it was odd that he was just a mere human or at least from looking at him it seemed to be the case. The man said carry on before walking away to attend to matters elsewhere.

"tsk.. just don't over work yourself cause like hell in dragging your ass back" Thalion hissed towards Mizuki, he'd gladly leave him here maybe a rock shift would happen and kill the guy then. Though he doubted he'd be that lucky. It seemed this was for expansion purposes, they didn't care about the ore or any gems in the ground. Then again when this was all you had why care about such things the luxuries could be done without.

This went on for hours upon hours well into the afternoon before the little girl walked near where Mizuki and Thalion were, at first she just watched the two but then she spoke knowing that Thalion would just keep going if she didn't go fetch him. It wasn't that he was a drone or anything but he didn't know the word break when it came to tasks that needed to get done. Besides that they both looked like they could use a breather.

"You know you could have took a break a few hours ago" she managed to get out, though she kept her eyes on Mizuki, she didn't trust him sure she knew the world was cruel .. her parents were killed by this man's very army... He sighed a little before looking at her "probably, whatever guess now is as good a time as any. wouldn't want to kill him on the first day right?" He laughed slightly, Mizuki had a world of pain yet to go through, they'd be back after the break to do this again let alone probably the next week or so.

"come on, not sure what we have here stands up to your personal cook you probably have but you'll want to eat. Unless you plan to give up on the first day and die in a hole that is." He was trying to get anything out of Mizuki it was almost pissing him off the man didn't talk at all..

With that being said the girl lead them both out, well walked in front of them at the least. It wasn't like Thalion didn't remember how to get out of the spot they were in. "so where to then?" He wasn't really asking anyone but he figured that Neimi would speak up anyway. "I know! I wanta go to your place.. you cook better then the others.. " she looked at him trying to convice him to do just that.

"what work have you done today anyway..." She huffed a little crossing her arms "I worked! They made me help with the wash.." she made a face before following Thalion seeing as he started walking again. Though he laughed at her complaining about that "stop making faces at that, you'll need to know how at some point or another, besides it'll mean you'll be a good wife someday" He laughed harder thinking about it and she was hardly finding it funny. "I don't wanta be a wife!" she complained as she kept following him, though she kept her distance from Mizuki.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki was tired but he wouldnt let it show. This had to be the most manual work he had done in his entire life, and still they will return after a 'brake' as they so called it. Where Mizuki was from there was no 'brakes' there was only work. From morning to late night then you went and had something to eat. So this was...kind of nice.

While working beside Thalion Mizuki kept little glances at the male beside him. Noticing that rock by rock they all fell to a mighty strike. Do to the days prior of the male returning he was kind of shocked to see how hard Thalion worked even after the beating he so got. Mizuki almost felt bad for the young male before him.

Not only for that factor but for the little girl that always seemed to show up when she was least wanted. Hearing the voice and having Thalion stop Mizuki stopped also glancing down at the little runt beside them. And that led to this. Listening to the girl whine and complain about little things. Meanwhile Thalion simply laughed at her like she was crazy. Mizuki watched Thalion laugh. It was a new side Mizuki has never seen. So care free and...joyfull.

Once they reached the so called house and entered he walked over to the window and leaned against the wood crossing his arms infront of him and giving a little sigh. Mizuki stood there and watched Thalion start to cook something. Veggies, rice, and meat were all being cooked almost at the same time. Mizuki watched in silence as the male before him stretched then cursed as he dropped something on his shirt. Taking it off Mizuki almost faultered as he saw the charm still on the males chest.

Mizuki had forgotten about that completely! All this time the battle, the horse, the labor he had that thing attached. Mizukis heart for some reason almost lurched. With out thinking he pushed himself off of the wall he was leaning and walked over to Thalion. Quickly taking the knife from the counter he had to move quick. He sliced his finger and touched the spider saying the word 'release' in his native tongue the legs quickly retracted and he removed the meddalion getting ready for the blow he was sure Thalion was about to give.

[Rosekitten]

Even if Mizuki didn't show it, Thalion knew damn well the man was tired. He was still recovering from the dagger let alone being forced to do all of this. By the speed he worked alone it was easy enough to tell Mizuki wasn't use to this type of work. He never said a word, he could push himself all he wanted to was only meaning less work he had to do in the end.

"Don't be a pest" he warned the girl who was sitting off to one side of the room avoiding Mizuki to no end. Though she was only sticking around for the food, the other females would go looking for her if she stayed away too long. She still didn't want to be a house wife she was going to leave this place when she was older or thats her plan for now.

He had forgotten about the charm himself for at least today, he had other things on his mind like focusing on the work he needed to get done still. Though he was paying more attention to what he was trying to cook when Mizuki made his move.

He was one motion short of flipping the dagger out from his belt when he even noticed what the hell just happened. He wasn't sure what to really do, what was going through Mizuki's head that charm was the only advantage he had here. He stood there a moment before relaxing his arm again so he didn't have hid hand hovering mere inches from the dagger. The girl seemed a little confused over what just happened but she knew better then to butt into Thalion's business.

"Don't expect me to thank you" He said bluntly after he had recovered over what just happened, when Mizuki had touched the charm he was expecting a jolt not for the thing to release it's self. Though he guessed at least not he didn't have to worry about a random jolt in his sleep..

He wasn't really sure what to do now, what was Mizuki trying to do.. removing that wasn't going to make Thalion release him if thats what he was doing. Either way he went back to paying attention to the cooking he had been doing. It was nearly done anyway, what he was fixing took little to no time to prepare. He didn't have the spare energy to really make anything else truth be told. He was still recovering himself, his legs still burned with each step he took even if he didn't show it.

After the food was done he took a bowl and fixed it before handing it over to the girl. "now get back to where your suppose to be before you get us both in trouble" She nodded a little with a slight nervous laugh before thanking him and walking out of the door. He shook his head a little before taking out two other bowls and fixing them as well.

Walking back towards where Mizuki had retreated back to he handed one to him and then moved a few steps away before sitting on the floor and sighing heavily. "glad I didn't want any damn kids.. " He laughed slightly to himself knowing he was complaining but at least it was something of a family, it was all he had anyway.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki was sure that dagger was going to end up in his chest. When it didnt he stepped back and gave a little sigh. When spoke it was exactly what Mizuki was expecting to hear so it was no shock to him. He too the charm with him and walked back over to the window all the while looking at it. Why on earth did he just do that! It was something Mizuki was pondering. It was just an impuse move he himself not even sure if it really happened. 'Well I just fucked my self over' Mizuki thought troubled.

When Thalion came back over and handed him the bowl he looked at it slightly. Mizuki was hungry but at the same time did not want to eat. As Thalion sat down Mizuki joined him placing the bowl a little beside his bent knee and his back against the wall. Mizuki then placed the charm off to his side upon the floor it was useless to anyone but him so he could care less what happened to it. After that he turned his head brought his braid over his chest to rest in his lap and then he jsut sat there. Staring at his hands.

[Rosekitten]

"I'd eat if I were you" He said making the comment only after noticing he didn't seem to want to eat. "it's all from the same damn pot so it's not poisoned" Either way he wasn't going to force the guy to eat if he didn't want to, it was his energy not his. It took little to no time for him to finish eating, getting up once more he put whatever was left away. It was a bit odd with how he acted really he didn't have to waste his time feeding Mizuki if he didn't want to but he didn't like the idea of starving someone he was making work.

"come on then we've got work to do yet." With that they both went back to where they were before. Thalion had told the truth about earning his keep. Mizuki seemed a bit slower this time around probably sore from earlier on top of everything else. Though he never complained.. then again Mizuki had hardly said anything all day. It was plucking Thalion's last nerve. At least say something complain or anything.

As the day went on to night he still never got a word out of him no matter what he said. Even during the walk back home he could tell that Mizuki was walking slower then before. 'tsk damn it complain at least, act like you have a damn soul in that body.' He thought to himself more then annoyed.

why did it bother him so much he never had anyone get under his skin like this guy managed to do... even without talking he was managing that. After getting back to where he called home Mizuki seemed to go retreat back to the same spot as before as if he didn't want to leave the spot or that was some place he declared safe.

He was really just going to sit there day in and day out? then why did he move earlier when he removed the charm? He was still a bit confused why he removed it. unless there was a hidden use of the charm after it was removed. For the moment he just stood there trying to debate if he should walk over and punch him in the jaw or not to see if he at least gets a damn reaction then.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki sat quietly and watched as he ate. Not saying a word as the male stood. After the meal they walked back to the same spot. Picked up the same shovel and axe and began the work all over again. Mizukis pace was slowing. He was getting more tired by the minute. His muscles in his arms hurt to move. Each stroke and lift of the shovel brought burning pain.

When it was finaly time to go Mizuki gladly placed his shovel back where he had found it and walked behind Thalion at a slow pace. He fallowed the other until they reached the house. Walking in he walked right back over to the wall with the window and sat down with a pained grunt. Bringing his braid up over his shoulder Mizuki once again just sat there in silence. The food from lunch the exact same distance from his knee as it was then.

[Rosekitten]

He frowned a bit, what was with this guy. everything about him just ate at the last nerve he had for the day. At this rate he wanted to kill him just to end this pathetic existence he seemed to have. At first he didn't say anything as he took the bowl that was still there, not that the food was any good by now.

He was trying to keep himself busy before he strangled the man. Or at least that's what he thought as he washed out whatever was used earlier and started putting everything away. This let him calm down a little but not much. Seeing as when he was finished Mizuki was still just sitting there what was he waiting for hell do something anything!

Thalion finally couldn't take it any more as he walked over to Mizuki and grabbed him by the collar bringing him off of the floor a little forcing him to look at him. "what the hell is your problem? I get your not pleased about being here but damn it you didn't even eat? Your going to be fucking worthless tomorrow and we have to go back down there." He still held Mizuki but he paused to get a breath in before he went on, it was obvious that Thalion was pissed to say the least.

"Do you really want to die here? Fuck I thought you were suppose to be the General of the Eastern army, your acting like your whipped and have no prayer of living. At like you have a damn backbone!" It really did irk him, to think this same man a few mere days ago was beating him and toying with him and now he sat here acting like he had no bloody soul.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki sat there and listened to everything Thalion did. He didnt want to do anything but sit there and keep what energy he had left. Then he was a little startelled when Thalion came over, grabbed his collar and yanked him roughly to his feet. Each muscle in Mizukis body protested the movement.

Mizuki was limp in Thalions arms until he got his footing better. After that he stood and looked at the male with dull lavender eyes and watched as his anger spiked more. What was Mizuki to do? He did the only thing that came to mind. Reaching his right hand up quickly he wove his fingers through Thalions hair and yanked the young males head forword clashing there lips together in a heated kiss.

Mizuki was shocked at his own actions! He was sure that his back was about to meet the wall as Thalions fist met his face. But if he was going to die here which he was sure he was why not have some fun first. But when he felt the others lips upon his he couldnt help but close his eyes. To him for some ungodly knowen reason...felt right.

[Rosekitten]

He was about to say a few other things just to vent his rage that was on his mind about how Mizuki acted. But he was cut off when he noticed Mizuki's hand move and forced his head forward. There wasn't anything he could have done to prevent this happening. Hell he didn't see this coming in a million years there's no way he would have expected it.

He didn't do anything at first, what the hell was he suppose to do? He just stood there his eyes wide with shock and his ears were back still showing his annoyed state though they did drop a little with this sudden action. His mind was confused beyond recovery for the moment.

When he finally managed to get thoughts back into his head he forced Mizuki against the wall and drew a hand back like he was about to strike at him. His eyes were wild at the moment with a mix of shock still in them and anger. He wanted to kill this bastard for that. Though oddly when he released his arm he merely punched the wall directly next to Mizuki's head. Though the force left a indent and a small amount of blood from his hand in the wall.

He drew back and stormed away from Mizuki towards the washroom. Why the hell didn't he just kill this guy he was fucking with him now. Yet.. why did something in his mind tell him that he had wanted that all along. that was absurd! He didn't even speak or anything normally Thalion was very vocal when something was on his mind or if he was pissed but he never said a word this time, he didn't know what to say.

Instead he figured a bath would be good, it'd take his mind off of what the hell just happened. Why didn't he just punch him he deserved to have his jaw broke for that crap. Not only that but his mind kept going over that feeling.. Mizuki's lips against his, why was that after just a brief moment almost engraved in his mind now.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki stayed where he was leaned up on the wall. He didnt even blink when the first came forward to hit the wall beside his head. He just stared at Thalion. Then the other moved and stormed off to the bathing room. Mizuki then let out a breath he didnt know that he was holding. Relaxing a little he moved back over to where he normaly sat.

Leaning on the wall he slid down it in a heep of sore muscles and a shocked mind. What was he going to do when the Drow left the bathroom and saw him just sitting there.
