Mizuki blinked at her son then shrugged, but she smiled then started eating.

"Soran! When are we leaving?Will you teach me to swim when we get to warm water? You and Mizuki? I want to learn to swim!" Rai asked Soran excitedly.

"Of course," Mizuki replied while buttering a piece of bread, she smiled at Rai then joked, "But don't look so eagar to go. You'll break my mother's heart." Naoki started giggling over her food and Gwendolyn started playing along.

"Oh Yes!" she said dramaticaly. "You want to leave me so soon Rai!?" She put her hands on her face pretending to cry but hiding her smile. Though she couldn't hide her own giggles.

OOC: ..I just wanted to say I had a dream about Soran and Mizuki o_O lol and they had a relationship break through! ^_^

IC:

Rai looked up to Mizuki's mother. "Oh..." she said getting out of her chair quickly. Rai began to trug on her clothes with a worried expression. "I'm sorry..." she said hugged her in the hopes of making her feel better. Poor Rai didn't know that she was joking.

OOC:

Ha! I had a dream about Kron once... but I was beating him with a stick in it...

OOC: haha! a stick!

Gwendolyn stopped fake sobbing and looked down at Rai then started laughing.

"Oh! Sweety I was only joking!" Gwendolyn said and hugged Rai back. Smiling, she set Rai back on her feet and looked at her. "You kids can leave whenever you want." She ruffled the top of Rai's head with her hand and ushered her back into her chair. "But, I want you all fully restored to your full health before you go running off again." She looked pointedly at Mizuki, Siren, and Soran.

Mizuki was in mid bite of her bread when she started blushing.

"I--I have no intention of going off before Me and Siren are healed completely!" She stammered around a mouth-full of bread and then continued eating. Gwendolyn smirked, knowing her daughter better than anyone else. Mizuki would start wanting to go the minute she could walk without a limp again, and she'd just say her arm was a minor injury that could be dealt with...

Soran looked from Rai to Mizuki, honestly shocked. He found it difficult to believe they weren't planning to stay here. He looked at Mizuki warily, having the sense that this was some kind of prank to get his hopes up. "You're not staying with your mother?" he asked her bluntly. The situation was so opposite to what he'd anticipated that he didn't know how to react.

OOC: Mizuki: Oh yea Soran, Like I'd really let a sexy man elf like you get away! (lol)

IC: Mizuki looked a little startled at why Soran suspected to stay here. She turned to him and laughed softly.

"Soran... I... It's just that..." she trailed off slightly, breathing slowly trying to figure out her words. "The farther these memories are from me, I think... the better off I'll be. I would love to stay with my mother but... I don't know how close I'd want to be to the Dark Angel fortress. The ttruth is I really don't know if they'll come for me again, esspecially with Blade." She stopped and looked at her mother who gave her an approving smile. Gwendolyn knew Mizuki would go either way anyway, if it were even just to follow Soran.

"I think the farther I am from them, the more safer we'd be." Mizuki finished and Blade cooed in Soran arms. Blade reached up with a tiny hand and gently fingered strands of Soran's hair. He looked amazed at his hair.

Rai went back to eating, thinking such a joke was very mean. But, it was a joke. Rai ate quite fast, her mother always said she needed to slow down while she was eating. "We couldn't leave you all alone Soran! There would be no one there to make you laugh! And that would be just sad..." she said, glancing up at him with a grin.

The rogue blinked and turned to Rai sternly. "Hmph, like I need that," he protested coolly, then turned to Blade, whose curious hands were reaching for his hair again. "And didn't I tell you you'd get your own later?" he berated the infant. "Really, you're all safe and comfortable here - none of you have a smudge of sense," he remarked, but the corners of his mouth were pulling upward. In fact, he felt extraordinarily pleased, and nothing his logic could muster would be able to explain why.

Rai's mouth fell open and then her eyes narrowed as she made a cute fake angry face. "Hey!" she said and stuck out her tongue. "Pinch him Blade!" Rai giggled. "I have sense! Mizuki has sense. But, the bad guys don't... because if they did then they would learn not to come after us because they'll always lose!!" Rai proclaimed, taking a big bite of her food.

Blade smile a toothless smile at Soran then practically crawled up his shoulder and grabbed his ear. Mizuki, who had seen Soran's mouth turn into a smile letting Mizuki know he meant the exact opposite of what he said. She stuck her tounge out at him though then spotted Blade grabbing Soran's ear.

"No Blade!" she yelped and made the futile effort the stand up but fell over on the floor. "....gaah.."

Naoki started cracking up then got up to help her friend back into her chair. She was fully awake now.

"Soran will handle you son." Naoki said, still smiling.

Siren · Post by **Siren** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 12:02 pm

For a moment Siren just sat there in her seat, drooling slightly and pondering what to eat first. She reached out as if the food might vanish from in front of her and brought some warm pancakes back onto her plate, letting out a small purring noise.

Once she had a pancake, drenched in raspberry sauce, secured with her fork, she looked up at Soran and the child again. She couldn't quite understand why Soran got a funny look on his face every time the child called out to him with a poorly pronounced "daddy." She didn't understand the concept the same way humans and elves did, and she wasn't fool enough to not know it. But at the same time, a term of endearment like that shouldn't faze someone so much, should it?

She plunged a large piece of pancake into her mouth with her fork then picked up a piece of bread and a knife, carving out a image of a person in the bread. She tied one of her own hairs around it's "arm" then muttered some words in a low voice while cupping the bread in her hands.

Letting it go, the little bread-man ran across the table and started dancing in front of the small child.

Blade finally let go of Soran's ear then looked down at the dancing bread man. At first, Blade didn't know how to re-act and at first he was a little afraid of it. He tried to burrow himself into Soran's arms. But he didn't fuss.

Mizuki though, looked at it in awe that Siren could do that, it surpressed her embarassment earlier after falling on her bottom. She looked at her son and smiled.

"Look Blade, it wont hurt you.." she said softly and Blade looked at it again. Eventually, Blade started laughing.

Siren giggled as Blade enjoyed the show. She kept the bread dancing for a while, then sat it down against a plate once she felt the child had seen enough. The magic she had imbued into it with her hair was starting to weaken and she didn't want the child to see it suddenly fall over.

She went back to eating her pancakes, a grin still playing across her face.

Soran held Blade while the child giggled at Siren's breadperson stunt. If they were going to leave together after everyone healed, that meant that there would be at least a day to just relax and hang around. "Are there any other repairs you need done before we leave?" he asked Gwendolyn, contemplating what he would busy himself with while the others recovered.

Gwendolyn thought for a moment and watched as Toby sat near Rai and asked for table scraps. She smiled.

"I'm not quite sure. Nothing to be fixed but housework chores.. like laundry.. cleaning... but I don't really want you to trouble yourself with it." Gwendolyn said.

"I'll do the laundry!" Mizuki volenteered.

"But Mizuki..."

"I finished that walking stick for her..." Naoki said after swallowing some pancake. "She might be able to manage." Mizuki nodded, agreeing. Gwendolyn sighed then nodded.

"Whatever you feel comfortable doing..."

Soran was quiet for a moment. "I'll do that as well," he said decisively, taking his plate and clearing it with Blade curled in his other arm.
