" That's understandable...if I was out on a job that I was assigned to when I was younger I wouldn't stop until I finished," murmurs Kire, moving to carefully look over Celestine's head injury as he sighs softly. " Gods...well perhaps we should go to the bathroom to treat that better...I wanna wash it out really well...then I get too to work on the carpet..." Kire sighs, moving as he looks at Celestine's pupils for a silent moment. " I don't think you have a concussion luckily..."

Kire sighs, standing up as he tilts his head in thought. " After this I would really like you too lay down," murmurs Kire softly. " At least for a little bit...that's my professional and non-professional opinion."

" Really?" murmurs Mizu, smiling as he giggles. " Okay then, what would you like to see me draw Simon?" Mizu smiles, picking up the sketchbook as he hums softly.

The pounding in his head turned into a dull ache, one that Celestine was familiar with. It was the shock his body went into after realizing that his wounds wouldn't magically heal themselves because the source had been cut off. Though his body was technically healthier for being regulated, at the same time it was rather against his nature as non human being to have them staved off so that he couldn't even unconsciously use them.

He shakily got to his feet and moved toward the bathroom that was connected to the bedroom he'd seldom ever used in the Caldwell estate. He pulled off his overcoat to reveal a purple-blue shirt underneath. He kicked off his shoes and sat on the edge of the bathtub and handed the spout to Kire.

"I'd do it but I can't see it that well," he said, guessing that Kire would feel more comfortable attending to it anyway.

"It's still so strange, you not reacting when you touch me or when we make eye contact," he remarked, glancing to the floor.

*****

Simon sat on the edge of Mizu's bed and though a minute about something he'd like to see.

"Hmmm. I don't really know. You should draw what you want. I'm sure I'd like just about anything."

Kire sighs, eyes half lidded as he he smiles slightly, moving to carefully look over Celstine's wound as he tilts his head in thought for a moment. " Yeah, that's gonna be a pain," mutters Kire, reaching to turn on the water in the tub as he breathes out slowly.
" We'll have to wash that really well before I can do much more for it, it's starting to get all matted in your hair..." Kire tilts his head, waving his hand as that strange bottle floats to him as he opens it, the smell of flowers seeming to play through the room, smelling similar to that moonflower on Mizu's balcony. Kire breathes slowly into the bottle, the liquid turning a strange purple as he pours abount an ounce into the running water, the water glowing for a moment before tunring a soft pale blue-green.

" There...it's not a potion or anything...just a mixture of scents and lotions and such that tends to help people tp relax," murmurs Kire as he smiles to himself. " It also seems to help with pain...so I'd really prefer you soak for a bit while I figure out the best way to fix up your head without stitches..."

" How about I draw you then?" murmurs Mizu, tilting his head as he smiles a bit, holding a pencil as he looks at Simon. " I like to draw people..."

"I'm used to it by now..." Celestine commented, wincing as he moved his hand to feel the rather large cut again. The real problem was that head wounds tended to bleed profusely which meant he'd have to stay away from...well, everyone until he had staved off the flow since the presence of his blood just made his aura more pronounced. If there was enough of it, he could actually kill smaller creatures without evening looking at them or noticing that they were there.

He found it was rather uncomfortable to sit half in the water of the tub while fully clothed and weighted down with several magical devices that he hadn't bothered removing, an oversight that Celestine chalked up to his (thankfully) not severe head injury. The water did help to soothe the wound just a bit though and he let out his breath slowly as the red of his blood blossomed out in the purple haze of the water like some strange sort of flower.

"That's the last time I make a deal with Van inside a room." he muttered.

*****

Simon blinked, surprised that Mizu would actually want to draw him. He immediately smoothed down his hair and gave the other boy a slightly shy nod.
"Sure...if you'd like to I mean. What do you want me to do?"

He was sitting on the end of the bed, but he wondered if that was an exciting enough pose.

Kire sighs softly, looking at the wound as he waves his hand through the air before him, a small bottle of glowing silver powder appearing in his hand. " Well...in this realm I know they use some sort of powder to help coagulate blood," murmurs Kire, looking at the small bottle in his hand. " We use similar stuff in my realm...slightly stronger and quicker actting...as we've tended to have rather large wounds...and rather heavy bleeding ones..."

Kire sighs, looking at Celestine as he tilts his head in thought. " We should probably get you out of those clothes and such so I can get a better look to make sure there aren't any more hidden injuries other then bruises," murmurs Kire as he smiles slightly. " Plus then once I treat your head wound you won't have powder and blood on your clothes..."

***

" I wouldn't have said so if I didn't," murmurs Mizu, smiling as he tilts his head, eyes half lidded. " How about out on the balcony...with that sunflower..." Mizu smiles, watching Simon as he sighs softly in thought. " I wonder how long Kire and Celestine are going to take..." Mizu sighs slightly, blinking as he notices strong shadows in the corner of his room, speaking once more of Gami's stronger presence. " You're invited to the party Gami...it'll be at night so I hope you'll attend..."

" Your adult guests give me headaches," murmurs Gami softly as Mizu blinks, looking over toward the shadows, seeing those red eyes glowing. " They're aura's...counteract against mine...but I'll do my best to attend...I'll just have to put my shields up stronger..." Mizu nods, eyes half lidded as Gami smiles slightly. " Kire's got a strong connection to my realm it seems..."

" The dead don't always fall silent," murmurs Mizu softly, a strange smile on his pale face as he sighs softly. " And one like Mikal most certainly wouldn't fall silent just because his bodies dead..."

Celestine didn't like the thought of getting out of his clothes. He didn't really live in the Caldwell estate and thus all the clothes in the room actually didn't fit him. He'd checked out of curiosity the first time he'd entered the room to find them mostly little boy clothes. Either a remnant of the unsavory master of the house's old habits, or else he had a young guest visiting in the past. Besides, no one but his brother and father had ever seen him in less than his shirt, pants, and shoes and most people didn't even get to find Celestine without some sort of jacket or overcoat. He was a very clothed person by nature, probably because it felt like he could contain his odd aura that way.

"It's alright. I'll go out and get something else later. Even if you didn't do anything my head would heal eventually. But I don't have any other wounds than my head and and. My back's a bit bruised but I don't think any of the wood broke the skin. He would have noticed blood running down his back after all.

Celestine gave Kire an uncertain look, pushing his sopping wet bangs away from his face. Without them to mar his forehead, his eyes seemed to become brighter.

"Why are you so insistent on helping me anyway? I suppose I can understand the basic tenet behind not being able to just leave someone, but surely you can sense that I'm going to be fine even without assistance..."

*****

Simon nodded and jumped off the bed when Mizu suggested he sit with the flower. He moved his way onto the balcony and leaned against the railing, his face turned toward the bright, yellow petals. The sun caught the brighter strands in his hair and it was then quite obvious that the boy was a creature of the light.

"I'm sure Kire and Celestine will be back down eventually...well maybe not Celestine since he seems to be wary of being around me."

As Simon spoke, his eyes, hair, skin, and aura straightened in direct sunlight and he smiled as though it was literally energizing him but Simon was soon distracted by Gami's words.

"Mikal? Was that Kire's lover? What about him?" Simon asked.

" There's no need to," murmurs Kire softly, a slight smile playing at his lips as he sighs. " Plus going out in your state isn't exactly going to be in your or anyone elses best interest Celestine..." Kire tilts his head, looking at the head wound as he tilts his head in thought.
" Well...for now I'll at least wrap it up for you..." Kire sighs, waving his hand as a strange, long glowing clothe appears in his hand as he carefully moves to wrap it around Celestine's head as he hums softly. " It's a silver thread clothe...your blood shouldn't damage it..." Kire smiles, finishing wrapping Celestine's head, blinking at the others words as he raises a pale eyebrow.

" I've come to learn that even if someone's physically alright after getting injured you should not leave someone in that state alone," states Kire softly, a strange expression on his face. " I am a healer...a doctor in my homeland...I don't leave someone until I'm quite certain they're alright...and also certain no one else is going to show up to damage my patient further..." Kire breathes out slowly, a strange smile on his pale face, looking at Celestine for a silent moment. " Plus...I feel like I shouldn't leave you alone..." Kire smiles, waving his hand through the air, a chest appearing near him as he tilts his head. " Now to get you out of those bloody clothes so I can was them..."

***

Mizu smiles, looking at Simon as he starts to slowly sketch the other, leaning against the balcony railing, eyes half lidded as he hums softly. " Kire will be back when he feels able to leave Celestine alone," murmurs Mizu softly as he hums softly. " Which may take a few hours..." Gami smiles, watching from the shadows as Mizu sketches Simon.

" Yes...Mikal was Kire's lover," murmurs Gami softly, a strange expression on his face as he breathes out slowly. " Those with strong attachments...don't really...come to my realm fully...they sort of float between my realm and whatever realm they feel most attached too...generally...in Mikal's case...he's between my realm and whatever realm Kire's in..." .

Celestine considered a moment and came to the conclusion that if he got rid of the jacket then perhaps Kire would be satisfied. When his head cleared he could look to finding clothes to change into, but as such he'd merely be sitting around in next to nothing and that wasn't his ideal social situation.

The man shrugged out of his overcoat and put it aside before he bowed his head over his knees, now pulled against his chest. Celestine opened his eyes and looked critically at the other man.

"Nnnh...I admit that the head wound is actually a bit worse than I originally thought but it bothers me...to have you so close to me like this. I feel like if I let my guard down you'll be dead the next instant." He closed his eyes momentarily, like a long hesitant blink, and then addressed the other man again.

"I know I can't hurt you but it's easy to forget, especially with the way things are now...When I'm in and out of consciousness I let out more of my power. It's not as bad as it could be because of the limitation of my powers..."

*****
Simon paused with playing the petals of the sunflower and glanced toward where Gami was speaking.

"So...he's dead but he's not completely gone to another place? Doesn't that mean that if Mr. Kire had the necessary skills, he could still communicate with him?"

He wondered what that meant for any relationship between Celestine and Kire, even more so if he knew the two of them better. Simon could really only operate on how he felt they were like, not on real knowledge.

((Sorry it sucks so much D: ))

Kire sighs, watching Celestine carefully as he smiles gently, setting the others overcoat to the side, happy he's at least making some progress in getting the other out of the bloody clothes. " If I get a yukata for you too wear for the moment would you consider wearing one?" murmurs Kire softly, worry on his face as he sighs, eyes half lidded as he breathes out slowly. " You're not going to kill me, don't worry..."

Kire sighs, waving a hand through the air carefully, a dark blue yukata appearing as it falls into Kire's hands gently. " I really want you too be able to rest for a bit...I wish I could do more to heal your wounds Celestine," murmurs Kire softly.

***

" Kire can speak with him," murmurs Gami softly, eyes half lidded as he sits in the shadows, breathing out slowly as he smiles slightly. " Though I think it's because Mikal worries over Kire's mental health still that he's still around...if this relationship works out then Mikal very well be able to move on..."

" He loves Kire still, but he wants to see him happy," murmurs Mizu softly. " Kire's from a long lived species of demon...he's still got half his life ahead of him as long as nothing untold happens..."

Celestine wasn't surprised that only a moment after Kire mentioned a yukata he suddenly found one in his lap. He wrapped his fingers around the soft blue material, strangely more gentle to the touch than most of the clothes he wore. That was one of the biggest personal irritations that he'd come across after Celestine had started going to the earthly realm more and more often. Human clothes were horrendously uncomfortable and harsh against his skin. It all felt like sandpaper and, at best, rough, but the garment that Kire provided reminded him of the clothes he got from home.

"Strange..." he muttered before he decided to be obedient (for once) and he slowly got to his feet. The world spun for a moment but Celestine, far too used to taking care of himself, only clenched his fists and found his center of balance again. He unbuttoned his shirt and discarded it before pulling the Yukata over his lithe form. Celestine made sure it was securely around him and then quickly shed his pants as they were quite wet as well.

"What?" he asked, realizing that Kire had said something else. He shook his head when the words suddenly made their way past his momentary confusion and managed a half-smile. It couldn't be called jovial, but more of a neutral expression, but his features were less constricted by pain as he looked at Kire.

"Don't worry about it. There's nothing else you can do short of finding work for me to unlock my powers so I can heal on my own."

*****

"So he can speak to him..." Simon started. "But...say that Kire and Celestine became quite close...wouldn't that bother him?"

He shut his eyes, taking in the sun, and then addressed Gami again.

"Or do you think he and Celestine won't have that kind of relationship?"

" I was a well know seamster in my home realm," murmurs Kire softly, smiling at Celestine as he looks at the yukata. " I can't stand this realms clothes, the fabrics and fibers just don't do anything for me. That yukata's from my realm so it should be pretty soft and comfortable. If you want I could make you some more clothes with different fabrics from my realm if you want..."

Kire smiles gently as he tilts his head, moving carefully as he reaches out, carefully straightening Celestine's obi as he hums softly. " It's a combo of demon silk and silver water threads mostly then a careful dying process to get just the right blue," murmurs Kire softly. " The softest yukata's I've found are from that blend...a cotton silk blends okay for normal clothes though, soft but hardy...so if you want I can make you some clothes out of some material of that blend..."

Kire tilts his head, sighing softly as he looks up at Celestine, a strange expression on his face as he smiles, a slight blush on his face as he shifts, kissing Celestine's cheek quickly before moving to pick up the others bloodied clothes. " I'm going to get these cleaned for you Celestine, rest for now. That's not a request," murmurs Kire before disappearing in a swirl of light, intent to clean the others clothes.

***

" Teutin's aren't a species known for monogamy," murmurs Mizu softly, smiling slightly as Gami sighs. " They're a rather polygamist species, usually having many lovers and such. I'm sure Mikal would understand...Kire did all he could to save Mikal...MIkal's not going to regrudge him his happiness..." Mizu smiles, finishing his drawing of Simon as he tilts his head in thought.

" I wonder what we should do until Kire returns," murmurs Mizu as he shrugs, moving as he sets the sketchbook down, moving to lay down on his bed as he stretches.

Celestine sighed and ran his fingers over the blue fabric he was currently wearing. Though it stayed in place, it crawled under the press of his fingers a bit, sliding like it was touched by wind, or perhaps somewhat enchanted itself. That was really the difference between something crafted from supernatural materials versus the rawer ones that humans used because most of them weren't nearly as sensitive. If he had been exposed to it earlier then perhaps he wouldn't have such an irritating time adjusting, but that was neither here nor there.

"Don't worry about it. I have plenty of clothes were I say and I manage with them pretty well," he explained.

The young man started when Kire kissed his cheek. His own skin colored and he stumbled away.

"W...what was that for?"

But before he could really say anything more, Kire was gone. Celestine sighed to himself and pressed gently at the bandage on his head. Still hurt. He slowly made his way out of the bathroom and into the bedroom area. Celestine glanced at the sheets then, uninterested in sleeping on harsher fabric, but he couldn't think of anything more to do so he ended up laying down after all. The next moment he had lost consciousness.

*****

Simon himself couldn't understand wanting to have many lovers. He knew that Caldwell certainly did, and many of the servants brought in other men and women at their leisure, but Charles had always kept in mind the first woman he loved and had barely seen any others after that point. He couldn't imagine falling love at his age, but Simon always hoped that he could find a single person to share his life with.

"But that's so sad...but I do hope that Kire comes to like Celestine. I can tell he's been alone for so long."

Kire smiles shyly, having appeared in his bathroom in his home realm, the bloodied clothes in his hands as he carrefully set them in the bathtub, grabbing a strange bottle of silverish water, pouring it over the stained clothes and leaving them their for now to allow the blood to be cleaned away before he intended to fully clean them.

Kire sighs, wandering into his room, looking around as he wanders over to his closet, pulling out a set of fresh demon silk sheets that were a soft purple in shade. He next grabbed a thick deep purple comforter with silver embroidery on it, running his fingers over it gently as he smiles to himself. This room brought back fond memories of the past, but right now he was more concentrated on getting things to fix Celestines room up with. Kire smiles, the demon wandering over and taking out a small box from a drawer. Inside was a strange glowing silver bracelet with inlays of strange purplish-red jewels. These were Blood Jewels...specifically Mikal's blood jewels. It was a tradition too make something out of them and Kire had had this bracelet designed, intending to give it too the next person that touched his heart...that person being Celestine.

Kire sighs, moving back to look at the clothes, smiling as he see's the blood at leeched out of the clothes, forming into small pearl like jewels rolling about on the bathtub floor. Kire smirks, picking those jewels up, intent to make something out of them as he takes those clothes, starting to rinse them out in the sink quickly.

***

" It comes from the fact that often there's political and love marriages," murmurs Mizu softly as he smiles a bit. " And sometimes it just happens...the heart makes strange choices...kappa's are monogamists though and well succubuses don't settle down so I don't know what you'd say about them...I just know if I find love I want it too be with one person alone..."

" I think Kire's already developed a strange attachment to your uncle," murmurs Gami softly as he smiles a bit. " Tetuins like Kire...who is monogamist tend to be very devoted too those who touch their hearts..."

Celestine had been told by humans that he'd encountered after being injured that when one had a head injury it was bad to sleep. But then they were humans and each thought him the same...except clearly a very personal one as when he was wounded he was even more solitary than usual. But a few times he'd had to be around humans while wounded because his ability to not be noticed by then weakened when he himself was feeling off. But with the spike in his aura they usually left of their own accord due to feeling ill. But he'd always remembered the older woman who had said that he shouldn't just sleep in alleyways with a head wound.

He opened his eyes sometime later and sat up, realizing what he had done. No averse effects. He touched his head to find that it throbbed in response. His thoughts were still a little fuzzy but he could at least remember what he was doing in an unfamiliar room.

*****
"I hope I can see more of the both of them...but Celestine seems like a rather solitary person," Simon remarked.

"So you'd like to find just one person too, Mizu?" Simon asked. He crossed the balcony as he noticed that the other boy had stopped drawing and reentered the room.

"I hope I get to meet that person when you do find them."

Kire smiles, the demon having returned to the room he'd left Celestine in, holding a good sized chest as he tilts his head a bit, eyes half lidded. " Well I got your clothes cleaned," murmurs Kire softly, grinning a bit as he smiles. " And your blood reacts to crystalizing powder must like most of my families does..." Kire pulls out a small glass jar, partially full of red round orbs, each pierced through and threaded on a small silver thread. " Which may come in handy during a fight if I give you some anti-crystalizing powder..."

Kire smiles, setting the chest down as he takes out Celestines clothes as he holds them out to the other. " Here, they're washed and dry," murmurs Kire, smiling as he tilts his head. " I also brought nicer bedding, it might help you sleep better...and I brought you something else..." Kire blushes, shyly taking that small box with the strange braclet out of the chest, holding it out toward Celestine shyly. " This...I want you too have it Celestine..."

***

" Hmm, once Kire's able to heal you Celestine will probably be around more," murmurs Miz, blinking at Simon's words as a gentle smile plays at his pale lips. " Hmm, you've already met that person Simon..."
