Mizuki smiled at that. He knew that he was going to get a reaction like that from Thalion thast why he went about it the easiest way so that the other male would not protest. It was simple really just a replacement healing spell...though to tell the truth it was the last thing Mizuki should of done but he didnt care Thalions life was more important then him being asleep for days on end.

"You would have....just left it there..." Mizuki said reached a hand out and touching where the spear tip had been. Mizuki knew that Thalion would of left it there he wasnt stupid and with Thalion being Thalion he knew it wasnt going to get better any time soon unless he took action.

This is when Mizuki looked to THalion with have lidded eyes "You said you wouldnt leave me..." Mizuki said almost sadly. The first time he had been awake in days and Thalion couldnt even be beside him as he awoke. Mizuki sighed a little before his eyes closed. He was suddenly aware of his tieredness.

[Rosekitten]

"I wouldn't have.. it would have to be removed sooner or later." He was just more or less putting off what needed to be done and he knew that. Sure he had to admit the wound already felt better, at least he could breath without wincing each breath. Though that didn't mean he was happy with Mizuki doing this, he would have rather the other waited till he was recovered more to do such a thing. Aside from that he disliked the idea of magic altogether. Even if at one time he did tell Mizuki he'd have to learn to control whatever powers he had.. to tell the truth he dreaded that day more then having to deal with all of this.

He never said a word when Mizuki spoke reminding him that he said he wasn't going anywhere. Though that also means he didn't tell him that he was pretty much forced and dragged to leave his side in the first place. No instead of making up a excuse as to why he wasn't there he just said that he was sorry.

Sure he could explain that it wasn't his choice but still he didn't see the point in fighting it that much. Not after Mizuki just pretty much saved his life.. again. Though he was glad the other seemed to be going back to sleep when he noticed that his eyes were closing. That was a good sign at the least.

[Pinkie]

After the events of that day and only being awake for a short time caused Mizuki to pass out again. If there was one thing Mizuki hated was being in a pure state of weakness. Never knowing if something was coming to finish the job off. Thats why he often asked someone to stay with him to state his fears but when he awoke and the one he asked to stay was not there it hurt.

The days past by slowly from there. Little bouts of wakefullness fallowed though they didnt last long before he fell back into a sleep like state. It has now been a week since the war ended and Mizuki was stirring again. Slowly light lavender eyes blinked open and he looked about the room giving a little frown when no one was seen.

Closing his eyes for a moment he took a deep breath before pushing himself up into a sitting with his back against the headbored. Mizuki sat there and thought to himself on how long he was alone. It was one of his biggest fears, being alone. After everything that had happened he was even shocked to think he still had the fear but it seemed he did.

Mizuki sighed as he raised a hand up to his hair that seemed to still be loose and his eyes widened. Long pale fingers brushed through long locks and he suddered and the feeling of his hair. It felt like sand paper and bringing it around over his shoulder he found out why. His hair was still covered in dirt and blood from the war. That was it.

Throwing the sheet that covered him over to the side he moved his legs so his feet now rested on the cool floor. Looking about for something to help him walk Mizuki was greatfull that he saw his staff leaned on the wall beside his bed. Counting to three in his head Mizuki pushed off the bed and was greatfull he was able to gather his balance before he fell to the floor.

Standing up right Mizuki reached over and grabbed his staff with a light smile on his lips. Using the staff for a brace Mizuki began to slowly walk out the door. Making his way through the halls with skill he was not seen even as he slipped out the door and around the medic building.

This is where Mizuki began to walk around noticing the repairs being done and people running about doing different chores. The damage from however long, Mizuki couldnt remember, was now getting slowly fixed. That made Mizuki smile as he made his way to a hopefully still standing house.

The trip was long and by the time Mizuki reached the house he was panting hard and sweat licked at his forehead but he didnt care 'Just a little more' He thought to himself as he moved up the little steps and opened the door. Entering he looked around and noticed he was alone, this caused a sigh to his lips but perhaps it was for the better. He wanted to get into the bath and rested before a pissed of Neimi or Thal barged in.

Mizuki then walked right for the bathroom it was the second thing he did. Filling the tub up with steaming hot water he added scented oil and smiled as the smell of cherry blossoms filled the steamy room. Hissing a little Mizuki pealed the medic gown off of his body before moving and carefully sitting in the steam.

Right away the sigh was out of the lips fallowed by a shiver as his body took in all the warmth expelling the cold. After a few moments to just bask in the heat Mizuki dipped his head under the water. Long thin fingers brushed through his hair removing the blood and grime of a war past. After that he sat back up and laid there. His hair floated now clean around him like a silver halo as he rested in the warmth half asleep.

[Rosekitten]

Of course Mizuki had to wake up the one time Thal was dragged away. Though to be fair saying he was going to go mad if he sad around any longer was a understatement. He was never one willing to sit around unless he had to. So even though he was forced to leave Mizuki, at the same time it was a rather good excuse to get out of the room that he found himself enclosed in for almost a full week. Sure a few of the deeper wounds still needed to finish healing, but so long as he didn't push himself it wouldn't matter too much.

Though after finding out why he was dragged off in the first place he wasn't sure why they had bothered to grab him. It was talking about what to do now, things would still take a while to calm down but the war was over. The fighting didn't have to continue any longer. Some suggested that they build the area they were in up a little and turn it into a official town. Though Thal had no real thoughts on this decision. In truth he wasn't sure what he wanted to do now that everything was over with.

Sure he still had Mizuki and Neimi and Raden to give him a excuse to stick around. But at the same time something kept telling him he shouldn't stay here. What would he do here anyway. Ok there were a few talents he had managed to keep hidden over the course of the war, as well as a bit of his past that he had a feeling would soon come back to haunt him. But still staying here and living a 'normal' life seemed almost boring after all of this happened.

Either way after this so called meeting was over with he left to check up on Mizuki. Though he was stopped by one of the medics who said they had no idea where Mizuki had run off to. Though Thal had a good idea, if he could managed to walk that far he knew Mizuki was at home taking a bath. Any time he went missing it seemed thats where he could be found anyway. Sure he should get mad that he left he medical ward but he wasn't going to do that.

Instead he went about heading home to check to see if he was right. Of course once he got there he knew he was. It was almost funny to him. Though he still went about checking to make sure Mizuki didn't drown himself in the process. He never bothered to shut the door so Thal just stood there leaning against the door frame before he spoke. "You couldn't have waited 10 minutes?" He was already expecting hell from Mizuki for not being there, but hell he couldn't help when people seemed to drag him off.

[Pinkie]

"Ten minutes..." Mizuki said with a little sigh before he opened his eyes and looked at Thalion that leaned on the door frame to the bathroom "If you had been there when I woke...this wouldnt of happened" He stated with a little shrug of his shoulders but the moment that Thalion began to prosted was the moment Mizuki growled a little "I know I know...You were dragged off" He said slightly before closing his eyes again "You always do"

Mizuki was in sour moods today it would seem but with this being the first time out and aobut he gave a sigh before looking to Thalion once more "Im sorry..." He said slightly "Just...grumpy' He said a little before moving a little to sit up a hiss escaping lips as relaxed muscles were forced to move.

Looking over to Thalion he tilted his head a little looking at the state of the male before him. It seemed to him that Thalion also needed a bath but he kept his thoughts to himself as he shrugged his shoulders a little "It dosent matter though" He said turning his gaze back to the water before him watching as he made little ripples with his hand "Im used to it..."

[Rosekitten]

He sighed a little, the way he said it made it sound like a excuse. Hell he protested to them forcing him to go along. "Would have rather just stayed.. they were debating on turning this area into a town. Not sure why I had to go along for that I don't care either way." He shrugged a little. That was his thoughts on the matter. Though of course he knew what Mizuki was thinking without him saying a word. But Thal would worry about a bath later, as well as changing clothes...

"Eh.. don't be sorry, thats not like you to say that you are." He wasn't expecting him to say sorry, of course he'd be grumpy. being forced to rest from the state he was in, probably even though he said it was fine he was still cross with him for not being there.

Though Thal never voiced his thoughts on what else was on his mind, like what to do now. Sure they could stay. But.. he had no real reason to. He was use to traveling before he got roped into this whole war. At the same time he didn't wan tot go back to the other life style he had with the bandits either. He had half a mind to ask what Mizuki wanted to do or thought about doing now, but he never did speak up about it.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki shrugged his shoulders at Thalions comment before he moved and began to drain the water from his bath. Kepping a grunt to himself Mizuki pushed his way up so he was sitting on the edge of the tub. Grabbing the towel that he placed near by he began to dry his hair.

This whole time Mizuki had a thought on his mind one that he was not sure the other wished or not but with his back towards the male Mizuki spoke slowly "Now that...the wards over" He bagan before he paused a moment "Did...you possibly want to...um' Mizuki stopped a moment then continued "Take Neimi and Raden and...leave this place?"

In truth Mizuki wanted nothing more then to leave. Yes this place held good memorys but the bad ones are the reason he wanted to leave. There was to many close calls and almost deaths that he didnt want to think of for the rest of his life. But when he got no answer from Thal he spoke again "Or we could stay...if its what you want"

[Rosekitten]

Well that made that easy. He didn't have to ask if Mizuki did it for him. "Not sure if they want to leave.. "He started but thinking about it he shook his head a little. "Then again both of them are old enough if they want to stay they can do so, not like they have to go anywhere." From the sounds of it Mizuki didn't want to stay but he was giving the option to do so anyway, he swore that he needed to think about himself more instead of others.

"Personally I never liked this area.. though I'm not sure where to go exactly." He sighed a little, why was he bothered so much and wanting ot leave this place. "Though I guess we don't have to leave right away, maybe it's a good idea to bring it up with Neimi and Raden then let them have time to think things over." Really for some reason he saw Neimi at least going with them, she couldn't stand the thought of being alone. Also she cared greatly for this mishap of a thing they called family.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki gave a little sigh of releaf as Thalion spoke of the subject. Yes it was true that he had to give Neimi and Raden time though knowing how Neimi is she would agree for the soul fact that she didnt loose anyone. He also had the feeling that Raden would fallow just for Neimi, it was cute if you thought about it.

Moving his legs around so he sat facing Thalion now he stood with a little stumble "Help to bed...?" Mizuki asked a little raising his head looking at Thalion with a soft woren out smile on his lips. All Mizuki wanted to do right now lay down and be cuddled by a warm chest of the man he loved.

[Rosekitten]

He was still questioning on where they'd even go, let alone what they would do once they found a area. Sure between four of them they should be able to figure out someway to make out. Well if they still had four after Neimi and Raden were told. Though knowing them two one would follow the other and Neimi was for sure not willing to give up what she called family.

He had to laugh a little before shaking his head and going over to Mizuki to help him. "Like I said, 10 minutes." Though he was just picking on the other now. He knew that he had pushed himself just to walk this far alone, though for a bath Mizuki seemed capable of doing just about anything. Aside from that Thal hardly minded helping the other. After all of this that they had been through.. yeah it was almost relaxing to know everything was going to be more or less fine.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki didnt pay mind to any taunt that Thalion gave. He just wanted to get into the others arms and go to bed thats what he wanted to do. So as soon as she reached the bed and he sat down Mizuki began to do the same thing he did every time, braid his hair. Slowly he wove fingers through his long locks abenstly humming to himself.

When he was done he saw that Thalion had moved up into a sitting/laying placement at the top of the med. Moving he brought the sheets up with him as he half laid hale sat but cuddled into Thalions chest. He gave a little sigh then as everything began catching up to him and he began to doze off. "We will find a place..." He said and paused a moment for a yawn "Im thinking south..." He said sleepely.

[Rosekitten]

After Mizuki was sitting on the bed and going about fixing his hair. He was rather content with Mizuki going about things like they use to be. Even if he knew the other was still weak and in need of rest it was just comforting to see that everything was going to be ok in the long run.

Though he didn't get to watch him much longer as the other seemed to move after he had finally found a spot that was comfortable to lay in. The one wound on his side bothered him a bit depending on how he sat. Though that was getting better as each day went on. When Mizuki moved to lay against his chest he smiled a little before moving a hand to rest on Mizuki's side lightly.

"South huh?" He repeated the one word thinking about it as the other stayed resting against him. "I can't complain, at least it should stay rather warm there." He found it funny, though he didn't expect a reply from the other, not seeing as he seemed to be asleep already. Though at the same time he didn't mind, he had missed having Mizuki close like this.

[Pinkie]

Sleep came to Mizuki easy that night as he found safety and comfort within the arms of Thalion. His night was a peaceful one with no bad dreams of screams and blood. They all were filled with smiling faces and happy cheers. Mizuki stayed where he was for most of the night though when he awoke in the morning he was curled with his back pressed into a strong chest and a warm arm around his waist hugging him close.

Mizuki smiled and stayed where he was. He loved the feeling of being safe and content though his thoughts were interupted as the door opened and someone walked inside. Mizuki kept his eyes closed as the person went about the room. Finally he opened his eyes when the noise of moving feet stopped and peered upon a softly smiling Neimi.

Mizuki groaned a little hiding his face from her "What do you want Neimi..." He said softly turing his face towards her once more. Now the soft smile was gone and her arms were crossed as a small foot tapped the floor. This is where she went on about how it was fine and dandy he was home but he hasnt eaten and bandages needed changed. He truthfully ignored her until Thalion began to speak.

[Rosekitten]

For the past few nights sleep was easy to come by. Just everything going on and the recovery process took a lot of out Thalion. He could handle recovering but he didn't want to think about losing anyone. For a little while he kept questioning if Mizuki was ever going to wake up fully. Though tonight he was content with the other sleeping close.

No one had to tell him that Neimi would give them both hell in the morning. But till then he didn't care. Sadly that morning came sooner then he wanted as she woke up to Neimi laying Mizuki out. He sighed finally moving a little as he looked at her. For the moment he let her go on about a few things till she got to why she was really complaining.

"They'll get changed, calm down." He sat up a little before speaking again. "The medics already know he's here, I told them where he was yesterday when they lost him in the first place." She still seemed annoyed that he was here and not somewhere where he could recover properly, then again she knew this was a lost battle if Thal wasn't on her side.

Sighing she shook her head a little. "I swear.. you two are a handful.." She left it at that before she walked off for a few moments before returning with a small box and sitting it near the bed. "Just be sure it gets done? He can't afford to get a infection.. though on that note neither can someone else in this room." She glared at Thal knowing he knew what she meant. And that was for him to tend to his own wounds as well.

[Pinkie]

Mizuki sighed as he listend to Neimi rant on about everything. In truth he kind of didnt care. Though the mention of changing bandages Mizuki grunted a little. He hasnt seen them at all so he didnt know the state of himself to be honest. This is where he slowly pushed himself up off the bed "Dont worry Neimi.." He said softly "I will make sure its done" He said with a little nod of his head.

Mizuki then looked to her "You and Raden need to have a sit down With Thalion and I...we all need to have a conversation...as a family" He said before looking to Thalion getting an approving look and nod. Looking back to Neimi he spoke again "Now....please excuse Thalion and I for a little please"

In truth Mizuki just wanted to have time alone with Thalion. After everything was said and done Mizuki was glad that they were both living and breathing. He wanted to Show Thalion that in different ways today. one mainly the time spent together.

[Rosekitten]

Neimi tilted her head a little when Mizuki said they needed to talk as a family. "um.. I'll go track him down." She seemed to think a moment. "He lives up to being a half blood elf thats for sure.. never around when you need him." She was only teasing, though the boy was a half blooded wood elf... so finding a place to hide away in was probably nothing for him.

She shrugged a little before telling them both to behave as she left the house. It'd take her a while to find Raden if he didn't want to be found and she knew that. At the least she did manage to get them both to agree to tending to the wounds, she knew Thal was never one to worry over them too much. Though someone had to at least...

Thal looked at Mizuki after Neimi left. Though he moved a little again to sit up fully before he sighed a little. "You probably worried her with saying we had to talk as a family." He smirked a little finding it funny. She probably never thought she'd hear those words out of either of the two of them. He never questioned why Mizuki wanted to be left alone, he figured he just wanted the time alone. It wasn't like they didn't just live through hell and all that. In truth he couldn't blame him for wanting time alone, he certainly wasn't going to complain about it.
