Anthony
"Captain Anima, Seigi, and Xiao Ore can confirm this. Like I said, I do not lie. And although his punishment came early and rather one sided, his words were insubordination as it was."

*The man sighed placing a hand on the boy's shoulder, looking at him*

"From the beginning I knew, but my suspicions were never confirmed until I confronted him after my Coma. Although your brother was said to be a good man, he has treated me and Seigi like dirt from the beginning, because he was territorial"
Clarence
*Looked away from him and felt ashamed, he didn't know how to respond to this he felt very weak the hatred in his heart was still there as his master placed a hand on his shoulder he spoke*

`"What if he was able to change? To be the person that I seen him as or at least he showed to me you all could have met that nice person if he was possibly given a chance to change but it was taken from him..."`

*It was naive young ignorant words coming out he didn't know any better after all he just began to accept his brothers death now must live with his brothers murderers...*
Anthony
*Cheong Myeong shook his head at Yenio's words*

"As much as I wished to try, he himself didn't want to. If someone refuses to change, change will not happen."
Clarence
`"Then how do I deal with the feeling of hate in my heart I don't know how one can not give in to such temptation to do evil master I don't know what to do."`

*His fist clenches again this time a little bit weaker then the last*
Anthony
"How? One must breath and process it, live through. Meditate and focus on the Taoist teachings, going with the flow. All life stems Tao, Dao is the equilibrium and origin."

*Cheong Myeong smiled lightly as he sat on the bed gesturing to go into the lotus position with him*
Clarence
*Felt skeptical of this for a few moments but it was better than doing nothing and wallowing in his sadness he sniffles softly and wipes his eyes with his sleeve weakly, and slowly moving into the lotus position his face had gotten red from all the anger and crying he had done his eyes were red and hurt however he took a soft breath and closed his eyes each movement felt like he was lifting a hundred pounds from how weak he felt but to get better sitting down and waiting wouldn't make him feel better.*

`"What is Tao Dao...?"`

*He asked with a soft shaky voice.*
Anthony
"Tao or Dao is the natural order of the universe. Becoming an immortal and following the path of Dao is a life we must follow is Taoist Swordsmen, along with the path of the sword"
Clarence
`"What would happen if one were to stray from the path of taoism and lose there path."`

*He asked as he tried to control his breathing but it was extremely hard fighting the tears and his emotions it felt like a war inside his chest his chest tightening almost feeling like he was suffocating drowning in his own pit of despair.*
Anthony
"Then may one find Taoism once more and continue their journey to immortality. As long as one keeps their mind and soul intact, only will they be able to live a life befitting themselves"

*Cheong Myeong nodded as he began to breath*
Clarence
`"My chest feels so tight... I feel so weak master my anger was getting the best of me... It made me use to much energy I feel so very weak and so very tired..."`

*He was starting to relax whilst in this position*
Anthony
"Then rest, take each day step by step."

*Cheong Myeong nodded*
Clarence
`"I can't not until I see my brother for the last time... I want to be the one to bury him."`

*He said taking a breath as his sadness began to come back into him.*
Anthony
"You must give yourself time. Let the others handle his body and the procedures. Only when you are ready, will we allow you to bury him"

*Cheong Myeong continued to stay in the lotus position as he was beginning to circulate his qi while talking to Yenio*
Clarence
`"I will not be robbed of this master I will not bury bones, I will bury his body now while still warm."`

*His voice cracking and breaking he was much calmer there was no anger behind his voice as he had calmed down.*
Tony
*She would still be passed out on the chair close to the two snoring away*

.((im off to work now so be back in 8 hours
Anthony
"You won't be, but you need time to digest it and allow for his body to be washed and prepared for a proper funeral? Let us not rob the dead of at least proper preparations"

*Cheong Myeong sighed, standing up then walking to the door as he wished for Yenio to allow himself some tkme to think properly*
Clarence
`"He deserves to be burried by me and me alone his funeral will only have me and no one else... Please don't go... I'm calm master I swear please don't leave me alone I don't want to be alone..."`

*He broke his character it was like a child looking up to there father as there father was leaving he felt fear flood his body he didn't know why he said that he couldn't control that but he felt comfort in his master's presence his eyes looked up towards his master.*
Anthony
"Disciple Yenio, you are too young to shoulder the burden of adults. Rest, he deserves a proper funeral. And that is final."

*He said this as black and white flames floated from his palm. With a simple wave, the flames scattered around the bed Yenio slept on. It was warm with a gentle brightness, not too dark, not too bright. Though as he approached the door he stopped, turning around to Yenio*

"Rest and sleep. Be ready for the next day Hm?"

*He said this, standing there not moving*
Tony
.((don't worry once the succubus wakes up she will help!~
Clarence
*Realized his hand was reaching out for his master as his master gave his final word he took head he wished not to argue with his elder, a person he looked up to... He closed his hand and lowered it to his lap, he nodded quietly not speaking anymore as he felt the warmth from the flames he slowly layed down and rested his head on the pillow closing his eyes he didn't like this why did this have to happen to him... Why didn't his master understand what he was trying to say.*

`"Ok..."`

*Was all he could muster*
Anthony
*Cheong Myeong turned, opening the door, then closing it behind him gently. He sighed deeply as it was rather hard to see his disciple in this state*

"Captain, prepare Vashti's body for a proper funeral and burial. When ready, let me know, and only me know. I will be the one who tells Xiao Ore and Disciple Yenio when it is ready"
Reginald
*Was still outside and waiting for cheong to return once he did his eyes opened and turned to look at cheong.*

`"I can't do it alone. It is in two half's. You made a wise decision to not let him see the body in this state, I commend you on your composure."`

*He bowed his head in respect to cheong he did something he couldn't do give the boy some comfort in this time of strife the boy was going through the only thing that ate at this warrior was that he was the cause of this boys strife but he showed no sign of it bothering him.*

`"It will take a few days if you want the body to be whole again it's everywhere."`

*He looks towards the blood bones and organs that spilled out.*
Anthony
"Please hurry as I know his patience will run rather thin if we wait any longer. I would just ask that you reflect on what just happened and why it happened. Also to keep the other 'me' a secret for now as it's something none of us could understand at this moment"

*Chwong Myeong kept his head high, although he himself was rather shaken from this, it was no time for him to lose a piece of himself in the midst of the chaos.*
Reginald
`"Alright I saw nothing of your other self."`

*He said as he nodded kneeling and began the process of basically scraping blood guts and bone off the floor and shoving it back into the body.*
Tony
.((guess it was a gory death?

.((also I'm heading out now so back soon!
Reginald
*He and cheong spent some time cleaning the mess up and giving the body over to the maids so they could do there best in 'fixing' his body he was cleaning his hands and went to the bar and took a seat.*

`"Care to have a drink...? It's been a long day..."`
Anthony
"No thank you, I'll have tea."

*Cheong Myeong sighed deeply, shaking his head with all that has happened this far*
Reginald
`"I have to word my sentences better I didn't mean an alcoholic beverage I can't drink in a time like this."`

*He waves over as the maid serves cheong a tea with some cookies he ordered himself some warm mint tea*

`"How are you doing in the upstairs department it takes a toll even on the most mentally fortitude of people."`
Anthony
*Cheong Myeong took a sip of tea, taking a breathe in then exhaling... The taste of tea was something that would induce calmness and relief for hom*

"I am fine, I myself have gone through what Disciple Yenio has. For me, the way of Dao has kept me strong and allowed me to forgive even when forgiving was hard to accomplish"
Reginald
*Looks at the steam coming from his own tea*

`"He had just started learning your way of life it may be hard for someone to adapt at first. He may never forgive me for what I did that is fine. I give you my oath that if he tries to kill me I will not kill him but I will defend myself."`
Anthony
"Which is why I must slowly introduce the idea. The path of Tao will lead him down the right path. Whether I am apart it is up to his own destiny. But Captain Anima, I will say this. Disciple Yenio will hate you for some time, but deep down he will love you like you were his own family. He will not be able to kill you even if he wanted to, because you both are family. And if it comes down to it, I will stop it before someone got seriously hurt"

*Cheong Myeong explained. He took another sip of tea as he wondered if Yenio would take his words of Tao into consideration. Meditating and to process it, allowing for him to go through his course and grow from it. However if the two were to fight, he would allow for it to happen. But the moment someone is endangered, he will stop it.*
Tony
*Soon the succubus begun to stir waking up she looked around confused getting up and searching the room with haste!*
Clarence
*Looks around lifting his head seeing the women looking around the room he coughs softly*

`"Hey don't make so much noise..."`
Tony
"Huh?"

*She looked over confused she didn't realise someone else was in here, she walked over and tilted her head*

"...Where am I?"
Reginald
`"I understand. You became apart of his destiny the very moment you accepted him under your wing your destinies will now be forever intertwined. Besides this gloomy situation you do know there is a whole bunch of adventurers wandering about that wanted to follow you."`
Clarence
*When she looked upon him she would only see a sad young lad who had bags under his eyes and was wounded with bloody cloth around his waist.*

`"Your in my masters in.."`
Tony
"Ooh? You have a master? What's wrong with you?"

*She sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him leaning down her chest was rather in his face at this point~*
Clarence
*Felt embarssed as she got to close he moved his head back into the pillow looking away as she was so close.*

`"I got hurt... While looking for something that may help my master so she didn't have to go searching for herself and in the process got very hurt."`
Tony
"Ooh I get that, you must like your master, mine wasn't very nice, would you like me to help you feel better?~"

*She looked at him not moving any closer or further just remaining where she was*

"What were you looking for?..."
Clarence
*Winces as she got closer as she was pressing on his injury he gasps softly.*

`"Ow ow..."`

*He shifts uncomfortable moving his body to the side in a more comfortable position.*

`"My master is my savior and my creator she brought me back to life. In return I follow her... Honestly I don't remember what I was looking for..."`

*He looks down to his hands.*
Tony
"Mmm... You didn't answer my first question~"

*She giggled, now that he had moved over she laid next to him looking to him side by side even if she was slightly off the bed she was on!*

"This master sounds awfully nice, can I meet her?"

*She pushed her chest together and pouted*

"Pretty pleaseeee?~"
Clarence
`"Ok... If you can help me feel better... But don't hurt my wounds... You can meet my master... Her name is Orestis she is currently in the dojo cleaning.."`
Tony
"Oh? Is that far? Which way is that?"

*She remained still blowing her hair out of her face*

"...I take it she's a magic caster of some sort? Or something similar?"
Clarence
`"It's uhh when your in the main bar you take the first door to the left and walk straight until you see the dojo... She is a magic caster! All she knows how to do is use magic but I think master cheong will be teaching her something to help with that..."`
Anthony
"Ah yes yes yes, I was going to bring them in soon. Perhaps I'll have to teach Yenio at an accelerated rate, ha ha ha. It would've been ideal if my core disciple had at least learned the equilibrium sword, then the 7 plum blossoms swords. If they are willing to learn the way of Taoism, patience will be a key to most things"

*Cheong Myeong chuckled nervously as he had kind of forgotten about those adventurers, especially with all the chaos going around*
Tony
"I see... What's your name?~ mine is raizen I'm a succubus~ but don't worry I won't do anything, you are helping me after all. I was lost a moment ago now I'm not."

*She smiled*
Reginald
`"Don't push him to hard if there is any training for controlling one's emotions he should definitely be taught that. He's a good lad."`

*He smiles softly*

`"Just needs a push in the right direction."`

*He stands slowly and stretches*

`"Where is master at?"To
Anthony
"Well, I'm afraid I will have to push him in terms of training. The mental of others grow at different rates, introducing Taoism will lead him properly. And I think Xiao Ore is inside the training grounds if I'm not mistaken"
Reginald
`"Care to accompany me to go see master I have to talk to her about a few things it would be nice if your present? Also! Call seigi! I'll meet you at the dojo..."`

*He begins to slowly walk towards the dojo.*
Anthony
"Em, well there's a problem..."

*He said this sighing deeply as he activated his divine sense to see where everyone was. And low and behold Orestis is gone...*

"You know... I don't know if this is your quirks, but seemingly like to disappear without a word..."
Reginald
*Stopped in his tracks as a vein bulge on his forehead as he turned to look at cheong.*

`"She usually doesn't do this I don't disappear without a word unless your referencing to master?"`

*He placed his fingers in the bridge of his nose angrily.,z
Anthony
"Xiao Ore is gone... And well before her Yenio disappeared too..."

*Sighing deeply as it seems that he can't catch a break. Perhaps this man should embark on his own journey disappearing without a word as well...*
Reginald
`"Well don't worry to much about it. I'll handle it. Take some time for yourself I can handle everything else around here."`

*He placed a hand on the back of his head not knowing what to do he felt like his master was like a child it was fustrating.*
Anthony
"I... I will trust in you Captain Anima"

*Cheong Myeong sighed deeply as he began heading towards his original room. First he would meditate and circulate his qi, then prepare himself to embark on a journey. But before that he must teach Yenio the sword techniques first, but he'll do it with a much different method*
Reginald
*Waves him off with a smile he finally took a deep breath and then a seat alone in the back of the empty bar he looked at his hands quietly*

`"What to do... How to make master listen..."|
Tony
*She walks in looking around for a man in a white robe someone who looked like a master...*

"Hello?"
Anthony
*Cheong Myeong paused, turning around to the woman behind him*

"Hm? Are you in need of something?"

*He asked*
Tony
"Oh are you yenio's master? He was asking if he could go outside for a while, also... Are you annoyed at him?"

*She tilted her head*
Anthony
"Yes I am. And if he wishes to, someone I know must accompany him, otherwise it will be a no. Reason being he's wandered off all by himself, then we had to run on a goose chase. On top of this he needs to rest with his wounds and a recent unforeseen tragedy."

*Cheong Myeong sighed as he would wish for no other problems to occur because of the troubles he has gone through to solve thus far*

"And no I'm not annoyed at him, what makes you say that?"
Tony
"...He thinks your mad at him, and we just met so you know me now, I'll go with him, I won't do anything bad... And you seem like a good master so he's lucky... But, perhaps you should re assure him at some point that you are not mad."

*She put her finger to her chin as she spoke thinking as she did trying to use normal words it's hard for this lewd demon not to say something lewd~*
Anthony
"I would rather Ms.Iferia, Captain Anima, or Seigi to go. Although we knew each other, I don't know you well enough. It may sound rude with what I am saying, but please understand that I know nothing about you. As his master I'd rather feel at ease with someone of his family going with him"

*Cheong Myeong said and bowed respectfully as he didn't want some kind of misunderstanding happening. So he had hoped his words were straight forward. And he still didn't know of who this woman was. No name, no history, nothing is known about her to him. That alone he couldn't trust, even if she may be a good person. If his Core Disciple's life was left in the hands of someone who was practically a stranger, that wouldn't allow for him to breathe at ease*
Tony
"..."

*She had a long pause thinking for a moment it was clear she was thinking as her wings were fidgeting*

"Okay... I'll let him know, is there anything you want me to tell him? Like I am not mad and that I'm proud of you? You know masters do wise stuff and say wise stuff."

*She raised her eyebrows at him and waited for his reply*
Anthony
"Well tell him to think about the words I said. The way of Dao is the origin and natural order to all things. Look through the book I gave him, last page"

*Cheong Myeong then turned and began walking away towards his room*

"By the way, if you try to sneak him out or if I notice that he's gone from the building, there will be major consequences"
Tony
"Okay, well if he needs you im sure I can find you."

*She smiled and then left rather quickly*
Arlette
*Walks over to the table anima was sitting at she sat down speaking to him*

`"Master may have found the way home... She may be able to free our Savior."`

*She whispers to him.*
Anthony
*Eventually Cheong Myeong arrived at his room, sighing deeply as he walked to the washroom in the room and prepared a medicinal bath to improve his internal organs' strength, something detrimental for martial artists. After done preparing it, he undressed and sat in it, circulating his qi once more*
Reginald
`"I know she told us all but is it really a wise decision to free 'him?' what if he destroys there world for his idea of a utopia? These people though we have not known them long our are friends..."`
Arlette
*Shook her head and placed her hand on animas hand as she looked into his eyes with a death glare.*

`"Do not forget where your loyalties lay anima if you were to betray him... I'll ki..."`
Reginald
*Moves his hand away and looks towards the ceiling.*

`"I know you don't have to tell me."`
Anthony
*After a few hours of cultivating and sitting in the medicinal bath, he awoke from his deep state. He felt energized, the flow of qi on his veins stronger, his body even stronger from before. Cheong Myeong got out of it and dressed himself, gathering the necessary things he'd need for travel. Then made his way out as it was about time for the dragon and Phoenix competition. Those who win this will be known as a dragon if they are male or a Phoenix if they are female. This competition would ultimately yield great treasures and a single wish granted to the winner of the competition. It was time for him to go*
Arlette
*Looks up seeing him leaving she waved him off with a smile.*

`"Be safe my friend. I'll let you know when master Orestis returns I know of her whereabouts have a safe and fruitful journey."`
Sherry
*He stepped slowly to the door, watching as Cheong made his way over too. Likely before he noticed, he flipped the hood of his black cloak up, hiding his silver hair and black-pierced ears. He then stepped out, beginning his journey.*
Reginald
*Leans back in his seat with a huff he picks up his cup his hand shaking slightly as he drinks.*
Elisha
*Walks into the room looking at them all he had his sword on his back his eyes looked around he walked to the table and sat down with the others. It was seemingly time for a meeting.*
Tony
*She would walk in slowly with yanio leaning on her*

"Hello?"
Arlette
*Looks at Raizen as the others had left she tilts her head.*

`"I see you have sobered up the other have left so it's just us left. How are you feeling from your hand over fellow demon."`

*She welcomed her with open arms unlike the first time they met.*
Tony
"...Oh, fellow demon? Your a demon?"

*She smiled slightly and waved with her free hand*

"Much better, I'm sorry for the troubles I may have caused before."
Arlette
"You caused no trouble at all don't worry you are family here. We all serve master Orestis we are just starting a meeting since your a demon you can join us please sit with us and help yenio sit down."`

*She casts ice magic over the door and the entire room to conceal there presence and muffle any noise for any would be spy.*
Elisha
`"It's about time isn't it Iferia?"`

*He sighs softly.*
Tony
"Oh? A meeting? What for exactly?"

*She was confused slightly as she slowly sat down pulling a chair out and sitting yanio down*
Clarence
*Sits down beside her he leans into her shoulder tiredly he had bags under his eyes he was fighting his sleep he was half asleep as he leaned into her.*
Tony
*She smiled and put a wing around him acting like a blanket*
Arlette
`"We are the dragons humble tools to bring about a utopia to this world. We have been called here for a purpose to free any and all dark beings from prosecution and execution at the hands of light beings for souly being demons."`
Tony
"Oh... That sounds rather nice, especially with what I've been through. Demons shouldn't be killed just because of what we are."
Arlette
`"We are here because of this it is our destiny master Orestis is currently going to find her master and release him. Now that you know the basics of our goal I would ask how would you like to join our cause? Our cause may bring pain strife. Even death or murder possible genocide of light beings and those who will stand against us to make a fair peaceful world."`
Tony
"....I... I may have to think on that, maybe once u hear what you will do I'll decide, I won't repeat what you say out of this meeting aswell, so don't worry."
Arlette
`"Tell me what do you want to know and I shall answer any and all your questions truthfully."`

*She smiles softly.*
Tony
"...The killing you speak of, it's not actually waging a war against all of those not demons is it?...And how do you plan on making demons treated equally if you didn't attack or hurt anyone."
Arlette
`"We don't plan on hurting any Demon at all you got it all wrong. We only plan on securing the freedom of demons. We will have to kill it is inevitable. When we embark on our quest to free demon slaves, demons forced into servitude people will try to stop us. Try to kill us we can't just let them kill can we?"`
Tony
"...Y-yes but there must be a way to avoid any deaths yes? I have a friend she helps our kind and she's a knight... B-but I haven't seen her in a little while."
Arlette
`"Not having any death is a fantasy. No one will willing give up the power of being a king and having million of slaves that are demons serving them. They have no moral boundaries so should we give them mercy when they show us none?"`
Tony
"Yes but wouldn't killing just make them hate us more? We shouldn't get what we want by fear, it may not work for us... Look I like the idea but I don't think I can go through with the execution of said plan even though I hate them... Some are good."
Arlette
*Shook her head.*

`"I don't mean killing all of them. That would be evil. Only the ones that want to keep us in chains. Like your friend that's a knight she helped you those people will be safe and possibly even will join a cause like ours. We haven't killed a single person out of anger since me and master stepped foot in your world. We were attacked violently without any warning without any caution they killed hundreds of us souly because I have this and this."`

*She lowered her head showing her horns and then rose her tail to show the scars all over her tail and lifted her shirt showing the scars all over her waist and back.*

`"They showed me no mercy didn't even give me a chance to show that I meant no harm."`

*He lowered her head slowly.*
Lisa
*I'm evil.. Idk what y'all on about I just want chaos.*
Tony
"...Okay okay... I'll join it but, and a big but, if I don't like how things seem to be heading I'm out."

*She relaxed slightly and sighed*

"I'm just not going to help if things get too escalated."
Arlette
*She slowly sat back down.*

`"If you don't like the way things are going we would much rather prefer you voice your opinions and try to steer us on the right path instead of leaving letting us walk down a path of self destruction and becoming no better then the people we are trying to overcome."`
Tony
"Okay, well I'll try to make sure we don't go down a path of evil."

"Anything else for this meeting?"
Arlette
`"It's also about your buddy there his brother was killed and sent him into into a deep sad state anima here killed his brother we want to give him the right to bury his brother."`
Reginald
*Scoffed and looked at her with no care in his eyes*

`"He should have kept his mouth shut he was spilling all our plans."`
Elisha
`"Be respectful to the dead anima the boy is right Infront of you."`

*He looked at him.*
Tony
"....What? You killed his brother? What did he do?? Is that what lead to him getting hurt???"

*She got slightly annoyed but didn't raise her voice as yanio was asleep/resting*
Reginald
`"His brother made unwanted advancements on our master he forced himself upon her. That is one of the reason I killed him."`
Tony
"....You didn't have to kill him, you could have restrained him? Or just disabled him and made him unable to do anything, I hope you don't plan on doing and acting like that to others..."
Arlette
`"I certainly don't plan on doing anything like that anima acted on his own I wasn't present to stop him."
Reginald
`"I could have maybe I should have but it doesn't matter now his brother is gone and there is nothing I can do to bring his brother back. One thing I shouldn't have done was let him see the blood on my spear it was a mistake on my part but killing him I feel no remorse"`
Tony
"...What were these plans? The ones you said he knew about?"
Reginald
`"Plans to bring about a utopia where us demons do not have to worry about being killed or attacked for no reason. He was saying all our plans to someone who I don't know very well or how he would have reacted to it. All I want is to live in peace when I have children they don't have to worry about becoming slaves to some rich fat king that hates demons."`

*He cross his arms doubling down on his position.*

`"Would you like to live in a world where you have to fear your children being taken from you and becoming slaves? Or be in a world where they know nothing but clear skies full bellies and smiles?"`
Tony
"....Not one ruled in fear, but the idea of peace is nice. I do think your plans may need adjusting, just if you were to kill someone any trace of a demon if found would lead to more negatives rather than positives so maybe leave killing to last resort."

*She looked to yanio to make sure he wasn't awake she didn't want him to really hear this*
Reginald
`"I understand your point of view master has made an oath to not hurt anyone and leaving it as a last resort as you say so we all must follow her word. We will do it your way and masters way but if both of your ways don't work what do you propose we do? What if they're willing to die before giving us our freedom?"`
Clarence
*Stirs slowly as he gently holds onto her his hands weakly clutching her clothing like he was having a nightmare.*
Tony
"Then... We find a middle ground we negotiate terms a place to live in peace in return goods which only demons can provide."

*She looked down and wrapped him up in her wing and placed a hand gently on his head*
Reginald
`"What if they don't want to negotiate with that either? What then?"`

*He asks looking at her coddling yenio.*

`"Why do you cover him up?"`
Tony
"...Then... Then we find another way to settle via negotiations, we don't kill... And why? He's sleeping, he deserves the rest. And I believe humans and demons can live together freely."
Reginald
`"What if they're is no other way like your suggesting? No alternative no negotiation no trading do we accept defeat?"`

*He leaned in to hear her answer.*
Tony
"N-no... But, we don't force what we want neither do we let someone walk on us, if there is no other options then we should earn trust by working with the common folk, tuning them against there government and lead to no violence, just changing their minds."
Reginald
`"If we work with common folk and they start to like us it would lead to a revolt amongst the people and then a rebellion against the government leading to death and war either way death is inveitable in theory your plan seems nice in practice one way or another there will always be a loser, and always be a victor I won't be in the losing side."`

*He closed his eyes and leaned back.*
Arlette
*Smiles softly and palced her hand on animas shoulder*

`"Enough for now. You came here to ask us something right? What did you want to ask me?"|
Tony
"...Well I'd just rather refrain from ruining lives which have only just begun... A question?"

*She looked up*

.
Arlette
`"Oh you came here looking for someone I assumed you wanted to ask me something before we roped you into this meeting."`

*She looks at the others and they all leave. Now it was only the three of them*
Tony
"Oh, yanio wanted to go to the lake but his master won't let me take him alone, so we need you to come with us, if you don't mind?"

*She gently removed her wing off yanio so he could wake up a bit*
Arlette
`"How about I make an ice golem and tie it to your mana so I can check in through the golem so you two can have fun?"`

*She crossed her arms*
Tony
"Oh... Sure I guess."

*She stood up slowly and looked at yenio with a gentle smile*

"Do you know of anything I could do to make him smile?"
Arlette
`"I don't know maybe just having a friend with him is what he may need you have a nice personality that's upbeat so I'm sure you'll be able to get one just by being yourself around him. Oh one thing he is scared of the dark and is scared of being abandoned or left alone."`
Clarence
*Slowly woke up his golden eyes opening as he winces holding his waist again his bandages began to turn red from blood leaking through the stiches*

`"What's happening sorry I fell asleep."`
Tony
"..."

*Her face quickly turned to horror as she knelt down to see what had happened*

"I thought I took them all... Stay still, I'm not too sure got to do this but maybe if I put clean ones on it will be okay."

*She slowly unwrapped him then re rapped him with clean bandages*

"....Be careful."

*She patted his head gently*

"Iferia is going to make a golem for us to take to the lake."
Clarence
*Looks up at her as she unwrapped the bandages she would see disgusting stab wound that had stitches some of them were ripped from his constant movments, as to the blood that was leaking.*

`"Is everything ok with me what's wrong..?"`

*He looks at his waist slowly.*
Arlette
*Looks at yenio shaking her head as she kneeled down beside him as she used her magic and a sewing kit appeared in her hand she set it down stopping her from re-wrapping it she slowly began to stitch his wound shut again.*

`"It's going to hurt a lot hold his hand please."`

*She piercing his skin with the needle and began to work.*
Tony
*She held his hand and used her wing to block him seeing the wound as it was being sewn up*

"Once this is done we can go to the lake and you can have fun okay?"
Clarence
*Felt the needle and screamed in agony as he held onto her hand however Iferia was a quick worker it didn't last to long maybe a few minutes he was panting heavily.*
Arlette
*Put some green healing paste on it and waterproof bandages on it wrapping his waist and his back.*

`"There you go! It should go numb in about 5 minutes."`

*She smiles softly*

`"You can go now."`
Tony
"...There all done, let's go."

*For some reason she had completely just adopted yenio not wanting him to be in pain or see him upset she felt like she had to look after him, even if she was a succubus who from time to time did drink a lot she wanted to cheer him ip*

"So, would you like to show me the way to this lake?"
Clarence
*Held onto his waist wincing standing up slowly leaning into Raizen he nods weakly wiping the sweat from his forehead.*

`"Yes... It just this way."`

*He points to the door*
