Mizuki smiled "He did hey" He said lightly before passing the glass of water over to Thalion. After that Mizuki sat there with his head dipped thinking about everything that had taken place "Hey...Thalion" He asked not looking up from his folded hands in his lap "Do..." He paused for a moment. Mizukmi was not sure if he should continue but there was something on his mind that he needed an answer to.

"Do you regret what has happened?" He asked lightly before turning to look at Thalion. "I mean...we were drunk and everything" He said "I...just want to know if you regret it" He said slightly before looking back down at his hands "I mean I dont....it was one of the best moments of my life" He said with a s smile "Would make it better if the fear I had was gone" Mizuki said slightly

[Rosekitten]

Only Thal would wake up and his first thought being that he was insulted the night before. Though h sighed a little as Mizuki agreed with him. That was probably pay back for all the times he had gotten the poor human when he got smashed after two or three drinks when he was younger.

He was looking at the glass for a moment as he continued to wake up. Though after Mizuki seemed to start talking. He glanced at him as he waited for him to finish asking what he was trying to say. At first he wasn't sure what he was saying. Though when the other finally got it out Thal noticed he seemed to actually be worried about it.

Though the moment he mentioned the drunk part Thal had to laugh a little. "No you were past drunk... but no I don't regret it. Even whatever was said last night..." He shook his head a little before sitting the water down and moving to pull Mizuki back so he was laying on the bed again. "So stop worrying already." He said before kissing the other.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki let himself be pulled down and smiled as he was kissed "Very well...I would hate to have to kick your ass" He said with a smile before leaning up and kissing him again before moving away. Sitting up he got up and walked over to a shelf that had his herbs on it and collecting some he went about to make a tea "I know the perfect tea to make it so we wont feel anything of this blasted hangover" He said witha groan rubbing his head.

After a moment or two he had the herbs boiling in a kettle over a fire off to the side. Walking back over he paused for a moment. Not paying attention to what he was doing he didnt notice Thalion get up and starting on things that needed to be done. Now he watched as the male began to get dressed. After the pants were placed on Mizuki pouted "And here I was liking the view" He said before walking over.

Rapping his arms around the males waist he moved closer smiling softly into a dark face "I could get used to this...waking beside you every morning" He said with a smile before leaning down and kissing Thalion on the lips soft and slow before he moved back a little "Seems like a perfect life to me" He said softly.

[Rosekitten]

When Mizuki mentioned he had something for hangovers Thal laughed a little before shaking his head. "Well some advice.. don't go drinking with dwarfs. I think you and Felix both would be dead by morning." Wasn't that the truth.. if they thought they had hangovers from that cheap stuff. Not that he wasn't going to say he didn't have a headache but it wasn't nothing compared to ones he had in the past.

After Mizuki left to fix the mixture Thal thought it was a good idea to get dressed. They still had work to do and with Felix recovering from last night it was probably going to be a long day. Though he was going to get the human back for that comment he made the night before. As soon as he got his pants on he heard the comment from Mizuki as he glanced at him. "Well as much as I'd love to stand here all day..." Though in truth Thal hated not even having a shirt on, for whatever reason. Probably something to do with his past that he never told anyone.

It was about that time Mizuki walked over to him wrapping his arms around him. "Perfect.. save the fact we're in a tent on the edge of the battlefield." Let alone closer to his hometown than he ever wanted to be even if it was a few days off. "Maybe after things are settled here we'll get some time to ourselves." A thought he didn't see happening for whatever reason but it was a nice thought.

The thought of peace was short lived as someone outside the tent said that there was a message for Thal. He sighed before kissing Mizuki and moving to grab the rest of his clothes. "And thus the work of babysitter is never done." He couldn't help but laugh a little, thats how he looked at it at least.

[Pinkie]

"Hmmm time to our selves....that sounds so nice" He said with a smile "Though I doubt that would happen until all of this ends" Mizuki said with a nod of head. Giving another kiss he pulled back and walked back over to his tea that was ready. Taking a cup he poured some before moving over to the table that had maps of the cave layout.

It was an old map one from the king himself. Mizuki was tempted to fallow it to make sure any way into the cave was protected. Though with the map being as old as it was Mizuki didnt know if half of the tunnels could be accessed. Sighing he took a sip of his tea.

Just as he placed the cup down to turn and talk to Thalion there was a voice at the door "Come in" He said not looking up from his map until he heard a groan. Looking up he looked right at Felix "Well well...hangover?" He asked and got a grunt from the male before he flopped into a chair.

Mizuki laughed "I would take that as a yes" He said before standing and walking over to the tea that was still hot. Taking another cup he filled it before walking over and placing it infront of Felix "Drink that and dont complain about the taste if you want that hangover gone" He said with a smirk before looking over to Thalion who finally joined them.

[Rosekitten]

Thal could have guessed Felix would have shown up sooner or later. He chuckled a little seeing as Felix was complaining that they were loud. "Tempting sometime to switch out that cheap stuff you get for something real." Felix glared at him a little before Mizuki told him not to complain of the taste.

He noticed the smirk from Mizuki before he shrugged. "Don't look at me, I'm not the one complaining." Though if he really did switch out what Felix normally drank the poor guy might pass out after one, probably less than that.

The taste was only half of it seeing as the smell could drive someone away from drinking it. Though at the same time Felix had little choice seeing as there was work to be done and being the state he was in there was no way he was going to be useful. Though after nearly gagging he could admit it did help though there had to be a way to make it taste remotely better.

After a moment Felix managed to recover himself before saying what he really had come here for. "Oh.. right that message. For starters the commanders here." That directed at Thal as he seemed to sigh a little. "I can only imagine why." Thal said having a good idea as to why. "Also that pretty dragonkin that is normally around you is here." He meant Luna, she probably tagged along with the dwarf to find Mizuki.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki looked to Felix at that. Luna was here...that was interesting he thought to himself before he nodded. Finishing the last of his tea he stood and putting his cloak over his shoulders he grabbed his staff. "Well then...seems the day begins" He said to really no one as he moved to leave.

Walking past Thalion he wanted to smile and lean over to kiss the male but after the night before he was not sure if that was the greatest thing for Felix at the moment. So instead as he walked by he brushed pail fingers along a dark arm with a smile as he walked past and left the tent.

It did not take him long before he found the dragonkin and when he did he had arms around him before he could speak "Oh god" She said "I swear if you leave me alone in a palace with a bunch of morons again I will kill you" She said stepping back with a smile "Didnt enjoy your time away I see" He said "Not when I get reports of a cave in then an attack!" She growled "You should of let me come...missing all the fun" She said crossing her arms with a sigh.

Mizuki laughed a little "Oh yes...getting covered in rocks, fighting a pissed off nesting female dragon then getting attacked in a matter of what...3 days was it" He said being cocky "Yes three days...if you want to call that fun your crazier then I thought" He said with a smirk and she growled but smiled none the less.

[Rosekitten]

After Mizuki left Felix stood and sighed saying that might as well get started. Though not before Thal punched his arm. "Be happy I didn't catch that comment last night." Felix had to think a moment before laughing. "Took you that long?" "Do it again see what happens." Felix smirked a little but got the hint.

After Felix left Thal walked out in search of the one Felix spoke of. Though he ran across him soon enough. "Commander-" Thal started before the dwarf stopped him. "Did you forget ye were promoted already? "Force promotion... thats nearly gotten me killed twice." The dwarf shook his head a little. "I heard, I also know somethin else that ye may be forgetting about."

[Pinkie]

Mizuki sighed as he spoke with Luna "I know but in all reality what could of been done?" He said with a shrug of his shoulders "I was lucky that Thalion was there with his rune otherwise im sure I would be dead right now" He said with a little laugh before he heard a huff "Yes so its offical...im not leaving your side again" She said with a nod of her head as she crossed her arms over her chest.

Mizuki looked at her "Oh come now a cave in could of happened to anyone" He said with a nod of his head though it seemed to him that she was not buying it. That was how the day went. Mizuki talking with Luna as she fallowed him around to everything that he did. It was good to have her around again.

It was not until later that Mizuki actually had a chance to sit down. He was now back in the large tent with Luna looking over the cave papers. Mizuki did not want to try going through them alone so he figured a dragon was great to take with him. Not only that but he was almost sure that Thalionw wouldnt let him go it alone either.

"No no no I dont care what you say" He said to her in a growl "The smartest way to get to each of these openings is by taking the east passage" He said looking to Luna "Its the shortest and smartest way" Mizuki said with a growl but sighed as she began to talk again "No I say the south chambers are the best bet. Travel along the edge of the caves and check them not right through the freaken thing!" She growled raising her voice.

[Rosekitten]

Thal had his own issues to deal with and one of them was avoiding the dwarf bringing up something he had hardly forgotten about. Though it was the main topic that Baalrock seemed to keep prying at. Either way he had things to take care of and he was making sure that no one was slacking off if there was something they could be busying themselves with.

Truth be told of it all Baal was there to talk about what the King had said. There were more than enough rumors going around how the stories weren't true or that it was a fools quest among other things. But seeing as he was there and he knew of Thal's slight problem he figured he might remind the quick tempered drow that he needed to watch himself, that or figure out some new means of binding his magic.

After a while they ended up back near the tent that him and Mizuki ha been sleeping in. Though they never entered, instead it turned into a bit of a heated talk outside of it. "I know that.. ok" Thal sighed finally wishing he wasn't reminded. "I know it broke, but that happened not even a week ago." "Aye and it was weakening before that. Yer playing at a dangerous game here elf. Runes and tonics aren't gonna solve the problem forever." Thal knew that too but he needed time to figure out what would solve it. If it was solvable even. Hell if he knew, he had questioned Felix about it seeing as he did a lot of reading but there was next to no information on what he was asking.

Personally the last thing he wanted was for Mizuki to over hear this. Sure it could be explained but it was nothing the other wanted to hear. Baal only knew of it because well.. after a hundred some years it was hard not to know. It wasn't like it was putting anyone in danger at the present time, though from his experiences it could in the future if just let go. Plus using binding magic often enough reacted badly against any natural magic someone might have. Not like he went into templar training with the intent of killing himself. No at the time he had no signs at all of magic. Though in more recent years it seemed to enjoy making itself known.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki sighed "look I dont care what you say" He said with a smile "We are taking this way and your going to deal with it and thats that" He said with a nod before standing. "You cant do that every time!" Luna growled and Mizuki smiled "Wanna bet?" He asked though he already knew the answer "Yeah yeah" She said waving her hand and started mumbling about stupid elfs and death wishes.

Shaking his head Mizuki stood there for a moment before he heard footsteps come up to the tent but that is where they stopped. Twitching ears moves to pick up the conversation that seemed to be brewing between who ever walked up. Though the voices told him exactly who was there.

Listening Mizukis brow creased. "I know it broke, but that happened not even a week ago." "Aye and it was weakening before that. Yer playing at a dangerous game here elf. Runes and tonics aren't gonna solve the problem forever." What problem was it the male had? Mizuki knew that the only reason some one would willingly take toxins and use runes was if they were binding magic...

Mizuki thought for a moment. Was that why Thalion didnt or rather couldnt use magic. Mizuki also knew that constant use of these things together could do more damage then good if used over a large amount of time. Why wouldnt Thalion mention something of this? I mean it was something that Mizuki maybe able to help but the meer fact that he knew nothing of this made his blood boil and he grew angry.

Walking over he grabbed his staff and cloak as well as a bag. Putting the cloak on he gave Luna the beg "Lets go and do this then" He said briskly before walking to the entrance of the tent and leaving. Just as he did he stopped infront of Thalion and the dwarf "Next time you feel like keeping something to your self..." Mizuki began before looking to Thalion with a glare "Make sure its none life threatening" He said before turning and walking away.

Luna stood there for a moment looking at the three of them and the fastly retreating back of Mizuki. Stopping Thalion as the male turned to go after him she shook her head "You may have knowen master Mizuki longer then me but trust me when I tell you if you fallow him it will make matters worse" She said letting go of his arm before fallowing after Mizuki silently as she ignored the curses of Thalion behind her.

[Rosekitten]

He wasn't thinking that Mizuki was going to be in the tent, it was early into the afternoon still. Normally he was too busy to bother being here. Of course the one time he was counting on that and it wasn't true. Thal was just about to tell the dwarf it wasn't going to be a permanent fix he knew that but it needed to be a fix until this matter here was settled. But he never got the chance to as Mizuki walked outside.

About the time he opened his mouth he noticed Mizuki and the expression on the others face. Crap was the first thought that came to mind. Though Mizuki's words said it all as he spoke before walking off. He wasn't going to keep it to himself forever but at the moment they had enough to deal with without adding to it.

Though when Luna stopped him he glared at her as she spoke. "Like hell I'm letting him just walk off pissed either." He said before pulling free of her and going after the other anyway. He couldn't... even if Mizuki was ticked, he couldn't just let him walk off like this.. not again. The last time it had taken a hundred some years to repair leaving well enough alone.

He followed the other for a while, at this point they were rather deep down one of the tunnels. Though Mizuki's pace said he wasn't going to stop. "Mizuki." He figured it was worth a shot but soon gave up on it. "Damn it would you just stop and listen to me?!" Like they needed to be out here when there was a chance of the enemy being out here with scouts, among a number of other things but still.

He needed to explain things to Mizuki before he let the thoughts sit for too long with the other. He was going to tell Mizuki, but after this. When things were settled a little. It's not like there had been too many side effects so far because of it. He knew the dangers he had looked well into it before even trying something as he did.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki ignored the male as he walked. No he didnt want to talk to him and get an answer that he may not like. No instead it was easier to walk away and calm down before emotions got the best of him and he did something that he wouldnt like later. This was his plan but it seemed that the plan would be foiled as he heard his name behind him "Mizuki" Nope. He was not stopping. He needed to get away and he needed to do something.

This was going to be what he was going to do but the moment Thalion spoke again he stopped and turned. Mizuki glared at Thalion "What...what is there to listen to?" He asked lightly "once again I find you keeping something from me and something that could claim your life no less" He said "When were you going to tell me Thalion?" He asked as he tilted his head "What...a day from now...a week....another 95 years" He hissed out.

Mizuki dipped his head down as his ears bent back "Again you dont tell me....what...is it that you dont trust me? Or is it that you dont think I could handle it?" He said looking back up with a tilt of his head. Though when Thalion went to speak he cut him off "You have no idea what I can handle" He said "What dark secrets I keep locked away in the back of mind" He said lightly "And you couldnt even tell me that something may one day take the life of the man I love and all because he was to stubborn to explain maybe ask for help" Mizuki said with a glare.

[Rosekitten]

He figured that Mizuki wasn't going to stop but when the other did he knew he was going to get it. Though for the moment he let Mizuki say what he felt like he needed to. Though it seemed like Mizuki wasn't going to stop when he did try to explain things. It was about than that Thal finally decided to say what he needed to say.

"There's plenty to explain. But like it or not there isn't a fix for it. I figured it might go away hell if I know why all of a sudden one day I can use magic that I was suppose to have my whole life. I can't use the binding runes and have magic, it doesn't work that way. Templars are not suppose to have magic and as far as any test results go I don't have any." He breathed out a little knowing Mizuki was probably too ticked to honestly care.

"As far as it taking my life I wasn't going to carry things along that far. If you must know my plan was to keep it bound until after this little quest we were sent on. I can't use the magic so its useless to me in a fight anyway." He should have probably stopped there but he didn't. "It had nothing to do with if you could handle it or not, it's not something that is normal in fact all of the books and scrolls i've been through say its impossible. But hell I know you your still going to be mad no matter what reason I give." On the note there was a lot of things Mizuki didn't know about Thal's past, though no one knew those things maybe save Verdia.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki sighed at that as he dipped his head. It was true though everything that Thalion was saying. "Its true that its not fixable but bindable yes and by the sounds of it your seal is weakening and fast" Mizuki said "What...you didnt think to ask maybe I could do the seal better?" He asked with a tilt of his head "Or that I maybe able to train you so you didnt have to bind it?" He asked slightly "No the only thing that crossed your mind was what you felt you had to do" He said with a shrug.

"I mean why on earth would you tell me" He said with a shrug of his shoulders. "I mean it took you long enough to tell me you were joining the guard and even then it was not you" He said with a shake of his head "Both times I find out from other things but from you" Mizuki said with a little laugh. "Is...this all a game to you?" He said lightly "Do you intent to get me close then shove me aside as some personal gain?" He said in a hurt and angry voice "I knew it was all to good to be true."

[Rosekitten]

He saw that being brought up again, he could have seen that from a hundred miles. Why couldn't Mizuki bring up the thing that happened so many years ago. It was probably true, Mizuki probably did know how to bind the magic better or he could train in it. But the thought went against everything he had been doing over all of these years. Besides the very ability he was binding was the reason he ran from home in the first damn place. He wasn't about to just accept it because now it decided to show itself.

Though Mizuki's next words hurt more than anything, though seeing as Thal had a quick temper it was more of a mix of emotions. "Yeah thats exactly it Mizuki. I have some personal gain from shoving you away." He shook his head a little. "Maybe your right it was too good to be true. Here's a thought I'll come seek you out again once I figure out a way to fix it. Or maybe better for you it'll kill me in the process." He shrugged a little, he knew his temper was causing this sudden change in tone but he didn't care at the moment.

With that he didn't even give Mizuki the chance to say anything as he moved and walked past him. He could go quite a ways in these tunnels only a few had been effected by the cave in days ago. Aside from that he didn't need light to travel with either. But he knew returning to camp for the moment wasn't a good idea not till he calmed down again and he didn't feel like listening to what Mizuki had to say. He needed to calm down though he felt the same effect from when he had fought Sanders and that wasn't a good thing.
