`"What do you mean he actually had a pulse? Are you saying that he is now dead? To answer your second thing it isn't the worst thing we can do but we can never know he is so unpredictable. One moment he's happy second moment he doesn't care, next he's happy then angry... Bipolar i say..."` *She would nod as that would describe his emotions best* `"Well... Let us wait for tonight leave him alone...? If not we must talk to him now, but the way you talk is very unique and complicated to someone that basically was a peasant... He may not understand such high levels of vocabulary or even know how to read or write..."`
Alice
*She had grown fond of her. They were very similar in this regard.* "Ah, no, no, no. It means he had a heart. As in... He was kinder, softer.." *Averting her gaze to the floor, she bore a small smile.* "He was a little clumbsy, but he genuinely felt warm. His eyes were... So.." *Blinking back to her senses, the blood rushed to her cheeks to turn them a deep scarlett.* "Eh? Am I rambling? I apologize.." *Covering her face with her hands she shook her head to focus.* "So he cannot understand me... Then will he understand you?" *If he could understand her but would not listen to her, then there was only one thing left to do.* "Teach me how to communicate on a level in which he will understand me... Please" *She'd request with a nod. Either that, or she'd have to play as a translator. She didn't see how Faedon had such trouble... Ysildea understood her just fine.*
Charles
*Slowly stands up with a soft sniffle finally regaining some of her composure.* `"... Then it wouldn't be good if we came at him with anger either... Anger against anger is like trying to put out a fire with more wood, and more oil."` *She would say looking down slightly before back up to ai seeing her face turn a deep scarlet. She tilted her head and poked ai's cheek.* `"Are you ok are you feeling sick or anything...?"`

*She became slightly concerned as her face turned red out of nowhere. However this was many questions she needed to answer them accordingly.* `"No your not rambling ai don't worry it's ok... It will probably be hard for him to understand me as well, I can read write, dance, I learned everything I could on my own or through the elder Esiyae to be the best possible servant. Even if he understood me, would he listen to me... I don't know... If he sees me as nothing but a servant and not a friend I won't be of much help..."` *She lowered her head disappointed but she rose a finger as something came to her head* `"I do know how to speak like a commonner or a regular... So I can teach you that... But I think he is emotionally immature... Like he doesn't know how to understand his emotion's? How to process or show them? So he acts impulsively this probably stemming from some trauma as a child possibly abandonment? Physical or mental abuse...? Sorry just throwing thoughts out there I don't know his past but post people that I met that have emotional problems have backgrounds that are... Not the best..."`
Alice
"Sick? Ah, no. I blush when I get embarrassed. I felt I was talking too much, and that made me a little frazzled.." *But because of that, she wasn't so much angry anymore as she was collected. Hearing her words made her protectively hug her head in her arms and pout.* "You are a friend. You are my friend.." *Although she was flat chested, this position may or may not have played a factor in her ability to talk.*

*She'd release her after her protective demeanor lightened up a bit* "Well what is it we are trying to-" *People often dreamt of their traumas. What Ysildea was saying was very much true.* "There might bea way for you to reach a deeper understanding of all this... And convey what we are *Both* Trying to say... But you may not like it..." *She could send her into his dream world where anything could be portrayed and expressed, and the best and only place to delve into someone's psyche to that extent outside of therapy.*
Charles
*Thought for a few moments but she said she felt embarrassed oh! Oh! This meant! That her face going red could be the similar thing to faedons? As she was brought into a hug she made a umpf sound as she didn't expect it.* `"Oh!"`

*She was surprised but didn't mind it she felt happy from the hug as she was released she spoke with a soft smile as she looked at ai* `"Well then would it be better for you to try this with Faedon to give you a better understanding... Well us... A better understanding of his past? Or Faedon...? Or would it be bad to make him relieve his trauma?"`
Alice
"I can only control the dreams of two... Not three. I'd be sending you into his subconscious, and letting his past trauma paint the picture. He has... Nightmares sometimes. I think if you were there to save him from himself, he'd open up to you more... Like I do." *And that would open the door to an easy transition into communication. Ai was a couple hundred years old... She had already had two centuries to figure herself out.* "But its the only idea I have" *She'd give a small nod as she awaited her reply. I mean... They could ask Hunald but that might be a little too much.*
Charles
`"So you want me to go into his mind... Is there a possibility that I can get stuck in it? I would be able to save him...? From his own nightmares...? We would have to wait until he is asleep."` *She would nod she wanted to know the risks before doing anything.*
Alice
*She'd shake her head* "No, not at all. You won't get stuck. Its a dream... And if it gets too bad I'll wake you up. We'll just need a safe word... Like a kill switch." *Anything can happen in a dream, and with Ai in control she will be able to give Ysildea the attributes she'd need. They'd be working together.* "When you do talk to him... Tell him I-" *What... Did she want to say?* "Tell him that I just worry for the sake of his happiness..."
Charles
`"Hm... What if it gets to bad for him...? Will we also... Need his consent...? Or will we be doing this without his consent...? Well I think you should talk to him with me I'll be behind you I think we should do it without his consent so I can see what's in his past so we can get a better understanding... Of his past..? But keep it between us?"`

*She would throw ideas out to her it wasn't for anything else but to help Faedon and to understand him better to help ai and her to try and adapt to help him change from being so angry and emotional.*
Alice
"If it gets too difficult, then you can let me know. I'll either shift the dream... Or wake you both up. My only concern is... He won't even talk to us *Now*. If he won't express himself to us openly, I doubt he will do so by asking cordially... But you're right. It could make things worse... And then we'd be back at square one.." *It was sad, but it was comforting to know that they had each other in all this.* "Without?..I doubt he'll find out. He cannot blame us for what happens in his dream after all..." *It was a solid plan, and their intentions and hearts were in the right place so she had faith.* "We've got some time until sundown... Be sure that when you do sleep, to sleep in the same room. I'll have to be able to see the both of you." *She wasn't at the level where she could control their dreams if they were too far apart.*
Charles
`"Alright I will, if it goes sour wake me up so I can collect myself then wake him. Ok that seems like a good plan yes yes..."` *She nods agreeing with ai before smiling with a happy expression* `"Until sundown I'll make sure to not wake him tonight what should we do until then?"`
Edward
*Eventually relying on his wings a little bit the large Dragon man would finally carry the small blood covered boy to the outer village forts, looking remarkably unharmed and actually pretty teed off as he held the boy and walked having already landed calling the boys stupid under his breath.*
Alice
"Well, we've got to secure a safe word... Maybe poppy? Or dawn? Something very easy and simple to say. Otherwise, we cou-" *Lifting her eyes to the ceiling, she'd smell the air briefly before looking at Ysildea* "There is blood.." *But not her blood, or the blood of anyone she knew. She walked over to the raiking to peer down at the entrance to wait quietly. Her ears picked up on all manner of things which she directly reported back to her.* "I believe someone to be injured... I do not recognize this smell. It is a creature I have never come across before.." *She whispered, waiting with curiosity as her thin little fingers curled over the rail as she leaned over it just a bit.*
Charles
`"That works for me! Dawn is what I'll say."` *She rose a finger to show it's what she wanted as ai said she smelled blood she put on her battle attire, and grabbed her sword, as she made her way downstairs* `"Come ai the mages are out for today you may be able to step inside the sun for a few hours again Hunald put them up to it we can't leave the village though as there is a range to it."` *She made her way outside with a soft smile as she walked outside she saw a bloodied up Faedon drawing her sword as she spoke an enchantment* `"Nãr Calta!"` *Her flame caught ablaze in a blood like fire as she prepared for battle.*
Edward
*Seeing that there were people outside he would completely disregard that they were in battle gear, before bounding over there and holding faedon up to them to see if they could help.* "Ahhh, hello is there anyone around who could help heal this very small very stupid child who cut himself open trying to kill me?!"

*He was being very blunt one because he didn't really have many social skills when it came to people and two because he didn't exactly care that they had drawn their battle gear and let their sword on fire.*
Alice
*She would follow her of course, but stop short of the doorway. Clutching a hand nervously against her chest... She would start with a single foot. No? Nothing? No instantaneous burning that would melt away her flesh? Oh good. Then it was alright. She felt a little sad for them... She hoped they didn't have to stand there all day just on the off chance she'd go outside. She'd have to thank them properly later, however the sight before her was... Not anything she could handle. Taking a step behind Ysildea, you could distinctly tell who the fighter was here. 

As this stranger ran up to them she braced her- wait a minute. Wait a minute that was Faedon he was holding!?? What th- but wasn't he in the room??? She looked from the window, to him, then to the window again. He snuck out? The math wasn't mathing. He... Attacked him? For why? What in the eight moons- shakibg her head she would run back inside to fetch Hunald.*
Charles
*Rose her sword and lifted her shield however didn't instantly run out for combat she didn't want to risk killing Faedon in the process of trying to get him back.* `"Give him to me or die."` *Raising her sword towards the man walking forward he was a giant of a man... Part dragon...? Faedon really tried to fight this monstrous man no wonder the state he was in! That idiot! But she didn't know if he started the fight walking over she would put her sword into the ground and extend an arm* `"Hand him over the person who walks the path of the blood flame is not stupid you shall not insult him Infront of the blade of esiyae guardian to those who walk the path of the blood flame."`
Rafael
*Was cleaning his axe with a cloth still doing his best to get the stained blood off of it as he would see ai coming in a panic and would speak to try and calm her down* `"What's wrong miss ai? How many I help?"|
Edward
"... With all due respect Miss I wouldn't call dragging a dagger across your forearm and letting your blood spill out simply so you can try and pound against someone who has skin harder than most metal I wouldn't exactly call that smart... I do not mean to insult the boy it's simply for the fact that I did not try to hurt him yet it seemed for all intents and purposes that he wanted me to kill him for some weird reason so he continued attacking me despite I think knowing it was going to be a fruitless endeavor..." *I wouldn't resist simply sliding him down into her arms, however not leaving as I wanted to make sure that he was okay before I left.*
Alice
*She didn't exactly know what she was describing so she spoke with her hands a lot.* "There's a- well he's- well he's got wings and-" *The poor thing was struggling to explain it.* "Faedon was in an altercation, and this individual has brought back his mangled and bloodied body.." *Never a days rest. Not one day and she felt awful about that.* "I can continue to clean your axe if you would tend to the matters outside.." *But alas, he couldn't scold her this time no, because she **Did** Alert him to the troubling matters as she had come across them. Faedon was probably going to get lectured though.*
Rafael
`"I will go to the door and greet our new guests I can not lift the axe as I am now, leave the axe here and come with me."` *He gently grabbed her hand with his as his other arm was completely useless, he tried his best to calm her* `"It's ok let go figure it out together miss ai."` *He smiles and shifts his form into his more bulky and muscular form lifting ai to his shoulders with his arm he stood at 7 feet five inches walking outside he bowed his head through the doorway and made it outside* `"So what is going on now."` *He witnessed the bloody boy what was it? Injured when he came in... Drunk... Now injured again he had a headache a vein pulsing at the top of his forehead.*
Charles
`"I need his side of the story before I can believe a word a stranger may spew, with all due respect."` *She spoke back with venom in her words* `"He isn't one to want to off himself! I doubt he would do such a thing meet sir Hunald, i would ask you to come inside the tavern with us so we can get this figured out. Seems fair? If I find out your story seems different or if you lied I'll kill you."`
Edward
"I mean I can almost repeat what he said to me basically word for word to be quite honest with you, but if you must make sure then by all means I'll come inside." *He shrugged his shoulders the scales on his shoulder having already grown back as he pulls his coat over them, walking past hunald hardly noticing his presence as he walks into the building actually rather excited to be inside of a new tavern.*

*He would sit down on one of the chairs and sharpen his blades which coincidentally didn't have any blood on them.*
Alice
*She scurried after Hunald but a few paces behind him as he held her hand.* "Could... The mages not recover your arm completely?" *She had a favor to ask Ysildea later... The two would need to go on a small endeavor.* "I apologize... We've been nothing but trouble to your peaceful inn..." *She smiled fondly as she rode on his shoulder, placing her hands neatly in her la- Oh god the sun!!! Oh wait- that's... That's right. Exhaling a sigh of relief... She didn't think she'd ever get used to that.

She would stay quiet, and listen. That was the best way to discover increpencies. Silver hues gazed towards the stranger from beneath a curtain of white bangs. She looked down at Hunald, then to Ysildea... Was she the only one who hadn't seen this kind of being before? What... Was he?*
Charles
*Held Faedon in her arms with a serious expression seeing his sad state, she could almost see his bare knuckles down to the bone itself and there was a burned scar along his arm along with a bruise on his stomach probably a broken rib she began to leave as she left heading to one of the room as she made it to the room she decided it was best he be in a smaller room for the time being so she could just take a few steps and be beside him instead of taking two dozen she found a room on the first floor and opened the door and went inside gently setting him on the bed and closing the door behind her she set her bag of healing supplies down as the door was closed and locked her face turned to a depressed and angry one as she clenches her fists* `"You idiot! Why are you so dumb."` *She said to him as she held onto his shirt with balled fists*
Rafael
*Looks at the massive man and welcomes him to the inn with a smile no one was his enemy even if they harmed one of his patrons if they came in peaceful they would be treated with respect* `"Welcome to my humble inn I do hope you enjoy your stay. This is ai the angry lady is Ysildea she is faedons guardian of sorts that's what I gathered at least. Would you like some food something to drink we can talk about what happened over a meal?"` *He spoke with a welcoming gesture seeing he wasn't a threat he had no need to be threatening at all.*
Edward
"I would love to have something to drink and talk about this over a meal, and I do assure you I did nothing to actively hurt that boy and even if I did it was as an act to calm him down not out of spite." *He smiled glad that someone was willing to meet him without hostility upon first meeting him, sliding a pile of about seven gold coins across the table towards him and sliding his swords back onto his back.*
Alice
*At her introduction, she floated down from Hunald's shoulder and lifted the corner of her dress to curtsy. While food was being prepared and drinks were being arranged, she'd take a seat in the couch chair by the fireplace. She'd lift a book left by another patron to read but in actuality she was being nosey. It was here she realized the book was upside down and she'd flip it. Hmm yes... So interesting was the material within... Must look focused. Not eavesdropping at all.*
Rafael
*Waved the man over as he slowly began to shrink into a small little hobbit once more being only 4'8 foot exactly he waved him over to a seat he would fit at before climbing up the seat with one arm in the other side to speak to him* `"Oh ho! I don't doubt it at all. If you wanted to you could have just left him there wherever you had your fight and left him to die. So I have no reason to doubt your intentions, would not make much sense if you wanted to kill someone but bring him to a place where he can receive medical attention. Hahaha!"` *He laughed heatedly bringing out a smoke pipe and taking a few puffs* `"How did the young lad end up like that? Looks like he is worse for ware then I've ever seen him."`
Charles
*Left faedons room and went to grab two buckets quietly filled them with warm water and then began to walk back towards the room grabbing clean white rags along the way. As she entered the room she gently dipped his left hand into the bucket to clean it seeing his knuckle bone she had to improvise... She looked at whatever skin was left and covered his knuckles with it so it would heal over applying medical paste to his left hands knuckles gently before wrapping it as tight as she could, then she did the same thing for his right hand it was the best she could do. She could heal him... And fix his hands she hated her teeth moving close to his neck as her four fangs showed her teeth gently gliding across his neck but she didn't.

It would be better if he couldn't fight! It would help him... Also help them her and ai be able to get through his thick skull whilst he isn't able to do anything stupid! Or fight or anything! She smiles nodding and begins to help his right arm. Twisting the bloodied rag over the first bucket as it had became a dark disgusting color she shook her head. Picking up the second rag dipping it into the bucket with sploshing water sounds she began to gently clean his face with gentle pats and dragging it along his cheeks and forehead.*
Edward
"You may not believe me when I say this, but I was flying over this random patch of buildings and forests with him standing in the middle of it shooting out these red blood attacks left and right I have no idea what he's doing, it looks like he's hurting himself so I swoop down I try to figure out what's wrong I try to help him out and he engages me in a fight saying something along the lines of...``why don't you want to fight me I'm trying to kill you you should be doing the same thing to me``... Or something along those lines I did not understand what he was saying because it sounded stupid no offense." *I smile reaching over and clutching the drink in my large claws, mind you they were probably bigger than the cup before taking a small sip.* "Mmmm~ okay that is pretty good, but back to the story after all that fighting a lot of ice lightning and flaming blood being thrown around, I was finally able to rip the sword out of his hand only for him to pull out a dagger drag it across his forearm letting out more blood than I've ever seen a human actually have, and then just start throwing punches at me trying to punch through me but he just kept hitting my scales thus why his hands looked like applesauce when you actually saw him.."
Rafael
*Gently strokes his beard this was a alot to listen to hw knew the boy was young but nothing much about his abilities... Thinking a little bit he knew he used blood magic. As he said what Faedon said to him he nodded taking everything in before replying and taking another puff of his pipe* `"Hmm he isn't the best in social interactions he is emotionally unstable maybe even mentally unstable. It may sound stupid to you because of different upbringings I can make an assumption here based on my experiences and traveling the world, most people who would say such a thing have only experienced evil and evil done to them and evil they brought upon other's. Like I'm nature kill or be killed he may have lived in a place where that had become the norm. To us it may seem outrageous but to him it is real. His ability is based around blood he probably has to sacrifice some of his own blood to gain more power from... What is it called... Flame? Blood Flame something?"` *He shook his head as he took another puff from his pipe* `"I don't know of the boys background but if something made him suicidal it could be that he finally snapped mentally and emotionally it happens more often then you think to new adventurer's that experience traumatic things on there first adventurer's or journey's. Some take it better then others some become evil, some quit, some the few strong and mentally fortified stay to keep going and some for coin. It is unique to any individual the boy needs guidance I thank you for not killing him you have my undying gratitude."`
Edward
"If I can be completely honest with you even after he started trying to kill me I did not feel hatred or resentment towards this child... I was worried because he was hurting himself I wanted him to stop and if fighting me was enough to take it out of him then I guess he could fight me... There was literally no reason for me to kill him it would have been a waste first of all, second of all I got even more worried because when I knocked out that little sadist he smiled... Let me repeat that when I knocked him out he smiled!!!" *I would to drop the drink making sure not to spill anything doing the extra courtesy and putting it on the coaster before voicing my confusion with my claws.*
Rafael
`"It takes a lot of patience to not kill someone who is trying to kill you. Then again there is no reason to bare any hatred to someone who is obviously weaker then one's self. But you have your own reasons I'm certain. Why would he smile? Did the boy want to die or something? From your fight do you think he truly wanted to die? Or do you feel something deeper was going on inside the boys head?"` *He asked taking in the severity of the things that was said no sane person smiles like that no one... The kid is something else... But it wouldn't deter him from trying to help the kid it would make him feel pity for the boy there was visible confusion on his face as well all he could do was make assumptions bounce ideas back and forth.* `"Ai I know your listening come her and give use your input another mind working with us may bring some clarity afterall you are his friend."`
Edward
"I was able to very mildly glimpse what was inside of his heart I saw sadness, self-loathing, inner turmoil, things that I couldn't even see despite having experienced them myself, that kid is not well mentally he needs help and not just help with being healed he needs actual therapeutic help..."
Alice
*There would not be an Ai, but rather a blipping white dotted outline of where Ai was. She had gone outside when she could no longer follow along with what was being said. She was sitting in the grass next to Aslan... Staring down at her hands in wonder. She gazed upon the paleness as she turned them around so that her palms faced the sky. She liked the feelibg of the sun... It was warm, and it helped her think.* "What do you think of all of this?" *Leaning against him, he'd give out a disgruntled huff before she smiled and gave him a couple gentle pats on his neck.* "Me too."
Rafael
*Turning to see ai had left he shrugged simply turned back to face bylin* `"What is th... Er... Therapy... Eutic? I have never heard such a word before."`
Charles
*Finished up cleaning up Faedon and leaving the room closing the door she left to go outside she had debated... Inside her head... Could someone like Faedon be helped? Or would he only drag her down with him...? You don't save a drowning a person if there trying to drown you whilst you save them, she saw ai outside by aslan she looked peaceful she lowered her head and looked away slowly not wishing to bother her and letting her think by herself, but ai came to talk to her she would be happy to converse she began to walk to some steps before taking a seat placing one hand on her cheek whilst the elbow rested on her knee... `"What to do... What to do..."` *She muttered to herself.*
Alice
*The ears of a vampire were as sharp as ever, and she could distinguish the footsteps of her allies quite easily. Her head poked up over Aslans back, and she spotted Ysildea sitting on the steps. Of course she'd go to join her. Wrapping her arms underneath her knees she pulled her legs close to her chest.* "A fang for your thoughts?" *She said with a light tilt of her head. She could already guess what she was thinking, but she was a better listener than a talker.*
Charles
*Sees Ai come over she smiles softly before speaking this time she would ask ai what was her thoughts.* `"What are your thoughts on this tell me first before I answer you on my thoughts."` *She titled her head back looking towards the sky and feeling the warmth of the sun.*
Alice
"I feel like I don't know who Faedon is anymore. I feel like he was never really honest with what was going on inside of his head. I feel like I don't know what to do going forward, and if trying to understand him is even beneficial to anything at this point." *And that was the truth of it. She wouldn't give uo their friendship, but she would definitely take a step back. She could only meet him halfway and if he couldn't strive to meet either of them in the middle, then there was nothing she could do. She only had so much of herself to give.*
Charles
*Slowly picked up her sword and lifted it towards her lap as it layed across she stared silently into the steel for a few very long minutes it would feel before she broke the silence.* `"Im supposed to guide those who walk the path of the blood flame, I am evil yes. I kill anything anyone no one is off limits, however... I won't let him lead me to a death that could be prevented. When he wakes let's speak to him, I didn't heal his hands so if he wishes to resort to violence he cannot. He should be up by now actually by the time we make it back and go inside the room we should be able to speak to him."`
John
*Stirred it felt like his head was splitting he had a headache his eyes opened what...? What as doing on...? Was he dead? Everything was blurry lifting his head up slowly as he moved his hand he winces and cries out in pain slightly feeling his hands were in agony he felt his stomach and chest in pain injured again. He was to weak to do anything slowly laying back down his eyes looked around this different room it was empty... Ysildea wasn't there... Ai wasn't there... Only the bed and a table on the right side of the room significantly smaller then the other room they had coughing softly. His thoughts wandered did they abandon him? Leave him here alone? He wouldn't blame them if they did this feeling... Felt horrible it was worse then being dead feeling of being alone, did he really upset the two so much they couldn't even be in the same room as him his eyes filled with tears as he closed them weakly gripping the bed his teeth gritting tightly together as tears rolled down his cheeks*
Alice
*She'd give a nod, and move to stand to her feet. Dusting off her dress she would wait for Ysildea to join her before heading back inside. As she did re-enter, she would whisper into her ear.* "What... Is that gentleman? I've never quite seen one like him before... I cannot decipher his smell." *No matter if she found out now or later, she'd head towards the door and stand just on the outside of it. She'd take a moment to decompress before walking inside. Holding her arm behind her back, she had such a disappointed expression on her face. She didn't say anything, no. She'd let Ysildea open the door to the conversation.*
