He was barely alone for another moment before Kire was back. Celestine blinked, unaccustomed to someone just dropping back in so soon after they'd left, but then he was beginning to understand how strange Kire was. He moved his gaze to the chest that the other man held and he remained sitting at the edge of his bed, looking at the other man as he opened it and extracted the clothes he had been wearing before.

He sensed his blood and saw that it was in jewel form, mostly contained in a jar.

"You should be careful about how you use those. The could amplify your power and though it's not as potent away from my body, it might make someone sick if they touched my blood."

Celestine took back his clothes without complaint and stared at them for a long moment before he realized he was supposed to be saying something in return. He really must be off.

"T...thank you. You could have just thrown them out. I can always get new ones..." but he had been fond of the coat at least. The white shirt and black pants were pretty standard for his wardrobe so he wouldn't miss them. He was so busy staring at his restored clothes that it took a moment for him to realize that Kire was handing him a box.

He opened the top of the box to find that there was a silver bracelet with odd jewels contained within. He ran a finger over it, a bit surprised that his skin was met with a subtle warmth that emanated from the crimson-violet jewels.

"What is this? Some sort of magical device?" he asked, raising his gaze to meet Kire's.

*****

Simon cocked his head to the side curiously and glanced toward Gami. Was it him? They seemed friendly and he was sure that it wouldn't be Celestine or Kire that Mizu liked...and the humans they both knew would probably be out of the question.

"...Really?"

" I'm not planning on using them," murmurs Kire, setting the jar down by Celestine as he smirks. " They're for you. I would think it would be easier to keep a necklace of vemonous blood close at hand then to just slice yourself open when something goes bad..."
Kire smiles slightly, eyes half lidded as a strange expression plays at his pale face, thinking for a moment.

" You're welcome Celestine. It's no trouble," murmurs Kire, the healer stretching a bit as he watches Celestine with the braclet, smiling as he sighs softly, walking over as he holds his hand out toward the bracelet, it glowing softly, a gentle singing being heard in the room as a glowing can be seen from around Kire's neck. " I'm from a long lived species of demon...it's almost inevitable that we'll have more then 1 lover throughout or lives...but if you truly find someone you want to spend your life with, you hold onto them as tightly as possible...and if they die...we generally will turn their blood into gems...it makes them feel closer to us..." Kire sighs, reaching into his shirt as he pulls out a slim silver chain with a spiralling blood crystal hanging on it, glowing softly.

" And it's tradition that if we are blessed to find someone else after that trauma that touches our hearts...we give them whatever we've made with those gems," murmurs Kire, a nervous smile on his pale face. " So that's what that is...it's got alot of protective magic woven throughout it...and as long as you have that...I'll be able to find you...and you'll be able to find me as well..."

***

" Don't look at me kid, I have no claim to Mizu's heart," murmurs Gami, smiling as bit as Mizu blushes, the spirit fidgetting as he smiles at Simon.

" It's you," murmurs Mizu softly.

He drew back a bit when the jewels suddenly started glowing and singing echoed from seemingly everywhere around him. So they were connected intimately with another person. He'd encountered a number of artifacts made from a deceased person's spirit, or blood, or tears, and they tended to either hold their memories, feelings, or even like this one have some sort of connection to someone who had passed on.

"Your lover must have been powerful...either that or he had a very 'present' spirit in order to elicit this sort of reaction," he muttered, running his fingers lightly over the blood jewels again.

"It's an odd tradition...almost human to keep a momento of the person you loved," he trailed off, wondering for half a moment why Kire was offering it...but then there was mention of how he'd touched him somehow. Did that mean? He removed his fingers from the offered bracelet and looked uncertainly at Kire.

"Y...you barely know me. You can't honestly mean that you know that you'd like to spend...however long we have to spend with each other?"

*****

Simon looked in surprise at Gami. Either he was rather transparent (likely) or he had somehow read his thoughts. He blinked and then laughed.

"Well I guess that means I'll have to think harder about it."

" Everyone always said he had a bright spirit," murmurs Kire softly, eyes half lidded as a smile plays at his lips. " I know someone once compared him to a light spirit and he got rather...pissed off...telling them EXACTLY who and what he was...he had his pride in being from the tribe he was from and he made certain others knew just that..." Kire smiles, a strange expression on his face as he breathes out slowly.

" Well, I don't know where it came from, but it's been around for a long while now," murmurs Kire softly as he smiles a bit. " The royal crown that my sister wears it a blood gem crown...and..." Kire sighs, drawing his sword, a red gem flowing in the handle. " This was my mothers...my birth mothers that is..." Kire sighs softly, a strange expression on his face. " My fathers is back at home...it's a ring..." Kire blinks at Celestines words as a shy smile plays at his pale lips .

" I've always been told that even if you've only just met a person, if your hearts pulling you towards them then you shouldn't fight it," murmurs Kire, blushing as he fidgets. " I mean I don't know what the future may hold, but I like your company and I can survive your blood so you don't need to worry about hurting me..."

***

" What's there to think about?" murmurs Gami, giggling as he looks over toward Mizu who is really bright red at this point, fidgetting as he smiles nervously. " The one crushing on you is Mizu..."

Mizu blushes, nodding as he continues to fidget, being obviously nervous at this point.

Celestine watched as Kire showed him the various jewels that belonged to his family as well as the mentioning that his sisters wore a blood jewel crown. Did that mean that if he died one day that Kire would wear something of his? Unlikely. Not that he'd wear it, but that Celestine would be allowed to die. But then did simple death count?

He looked at the bracelet again when Kire mentioned that if one's heart was pulled in a direction then they shouldn't fight it.
"I assume it's a rare thing for someone to move you then..." Or else he'd probably be dripping with the jeweled remains of the people who had come before him.

"...I see," he finally said, and closed the box that held the bracelet. "I won't refuse your gift but I don't feel quite comfortable wearing it...I have nothing to give you in return...but...if you'd like..." his cheeks coloured slightly as he messed with the clasp on the box. "You may call me Celes."

*****

"W...what?" Simon asked, eyes widened and looking back at Mizu.

He couldn't mean? Simon shook his head and smiled at Mizu, seeing his nervousness.
"I...I'll take that as a compliment. I like you a lot too Mizu." He couldn't be in love...he was thirteen after all. Simon's mind seemed quite pleased to draw this conclusion as he hadn't really thought of all that could come about if he admitted out in the open how much he was drawn to Mizu in return.

" It's a rare thing for people to move me too the point where they've ended up in my arms," murmurs Kire softly, a strange expression on his face as he smiles slightly. " So far it's only been Mikal..." Kire watches Celestine a gentle smile on his pale lis as he stretches slightly, just watching Celestine for a moment.

" You've given me more then enough in returen Celes," murmurs Kire, blushing himself as he fidgets with a strand of his hair, tilting his head a bit as a strange expression plays at his lips. " It seems as much as I'm being pulled toward you...Mizu's being pulled more so toward Simon..."

***

" You heard me, I didn't stutter," murmurs Mizu, smiling shyly as he blushes, sitting on his bed as he fidgets with his hair. " I think it's gone past the point of like on my behalf..." Mizu smiles nervously, a strange fuzzy feeling playing through him as he fidgets. He'd never felt like this before, he just felt drawn to Simon.

Celestine didn't think that children could really feel the same depth of emotion that adults could, but he didn't deny the fact that the two of them were being drawn closer together. It's not that it wasn't love, it appeared to him as an attachment unique in and of itself that could grow along with them. Someone he never thought could happen to him.

"Yes. They do seem quite close. Which is good for the both of them. Mizu has seen and experienced too much while Simon seems to think he's worth less than an amoeba."

He pushed his bangs back with a hand and grabbed at the green earring that was well concealed by his hair. It was a small drop earring with a shining orb at the end. Celestine liberated it from his ear and as he fell into the palm of his hand, it was apparent that what seemed to be a jewel from afar was a hollowed out piece of magic with a sparkling bell at the center. It made a soft sound and he held it out toward Kire, too embarrassed to do more than look at the ground.

"You can have half. These earrings open the gates of heaven...well the region that I'm from anyway. Normal beings cannot get there without an invitation."

He wondered if Kire would be aware of the magnitude of his gift. Sheer embarrassment made him hope not...at least not yet.

"I guess it means I'm sort of drawn to you as well. I've never met someone who was so eager to be around me that wasn't family."

*****
Simon moved to sit right beside Mizu and he grabbed the other boy's hair, leaning against him and looking at the sketch that he'd made.

"It's okay. I...feel really happy when I'm around you Mizu and I think that's enough for now."

" Given time once they're old enough I'm sure that attachment will grow," murmurs Kire softly, eyes half lidded as he smiles slightly. " I though personally hope they take their time...with Mizu's past and all...I'd like them to really get too know each other. Simon obviously doesn't recognize how truly amazing he can become..." Kire blinks, watching Celestine with the earring, tilting his head a bit, blinking again as he blushes.

" You're sure?" murmurs Kire softly, taking the earring tentively as he reached up to his left ear removing a hanging silver shell earring as he carefully puts the green earring in, smiling shyly as he holds the shell earring out to Celestine as he smiles shyly. " Here...
if you're splitting up your pair, it's only fair..." Kire smiles nervously that silver shell glimmering and flickering in his hand.

Kire smiles slightly at Celestines words as a pale blush plays at his face. " Your aura comforts me," whispers Kire shyly.

***

Mizu smiles happily, showing the sketch of Simon and the sunflower to the other. " And I'm happy to be around you," murmurs Mizu, noticing Gami's presence disappear as he tilts his head, eyes half lidded. " I think Celestiene and Kire are better now..."

"They don't ring unless you wish for them to..." he mentioned, just in case Kire was wondering how he could sneak around the way he did with bells on.

He looked up when Kire said that it was only fair for him to give his other earring. He took it without another word and replaced it where the earring that now hung from Kire's ear used to be. The weight was slightly different, it was almost as though he could feel Kire's spirit through it, which was odd since he was wearing something Kire had made yet the earring felt more alive to him.

"It does?" he asked, wondering how his aura could possibly calm anyone. "Oh...well sorry about the way I've been acting. Being hit in the head makes me seem a little off...and...I'm still not used to the idea of being around someone else for long. But you can stay as long as you'd like."

Which was a real sign that he was warming toward Kire.

*****

"They are?" Simon asked. He leaned forward, still brushing through Mizu's smooth hair with his fingers, and he looked at the lines that made a shape he recognized.

"Wow. You drew it so beautifully. I can't really believe it's me."

" Well that's good, wouldn't be good in my line of general work to have bells ringing all the time," murmurs Kire softly, a strange expression as he shakes his head, watching Celestine for a silent moment as he smiles shyly.

" They're...altered blood gem earrings," murmurs Kire, fingers going to brush his fingertips against the one still in his ear. " My sister made them for me when I was very young...she altered the color and such of the blood...it was after my first job and I came back...with a rather pretty injury to my neck..."

" As for your aura...I think most people it would probably push away, but it draws me in and makes me generally happy," murmurs Kire, smiling shyly at Celestines words. " I'll stay around as long as I'm wanted..."

***

" Yeah, so we may get a visitor soon enough," murmurs Mixu softly, smiling at Simon as the other looks at the drawing. " I did my best. I hope you like it."

"That would explain it," Celestine said. He laid back on the bed then, listening as his remaining earring rang almost as though it was trying to get into contact with its lost mate. He'd had them for so long it was odd, the different sensation in his other ear. Not totally uncomfortable, just new. He'd have to think more about this when his head wasn't doing such funny things to the rest of him.

"Oh...actually." he rolled onto his side so he could see Kire from where he was. It felt like too much trouble to push himself all the way up.

"You could heal Simon, the kid's wound that was made by my blood. Then at the very least I wouldn't feel like his life was in danger nor would he every time I stepped into a room..."

Simon's overall health was of more concern to Celestine than his own. After all, he knew his limits, but a child's were different. He shouldn't have had to have the burden in the first place.

*****

"You did a wonderful job but I guess I'm just not used to seeing myself...I can't imagine looking so bright. Is that weird to say since you didn't use color?"

((I will has another character *crappy* picture soon. I'm working on it now because inspiration randomly hit))

" And...they provide a direct link to my quarters in my sisters castle," murmurs Kire, smiling shyly at Celestine as he smiles a bit. " Well, I brough comfier sheets for your bed, they're in the chest if you want them...and a comforter...I just thought perhaps having some things not human made would help you heal faster..."

Kire blinks at Celestines mention of Simon as he smiles gently, eyes half lidded. " I was planning on going down to do just that as soon as I was certain you were alright for the moment," murmurs Kire, a gentle look in his eyes as he watches Celestine. " I'll do my best for your nephew Celes..." With that Kire disappears from the room in a swirl of silver and purple light before appearing on Mizu's balcony.

***

" Hmm, you're very bright," murmurs Mizu, smiling at Simon as he blinks. " I don't think it's weird at all..." Mizu smiles, sensing Kire on the balcony as he stands up, setting the sketchbook on the bedside table as he looks toward Simon. " Just lay back on the bed..." Mizu moves onto the balcony, looking at Kire as the demon smiles. " I guess you're ready then Kire?"

" Of course," murmurs Kire, following Mizu into the room as he smiles at Simon. " Lets get that taint off your hand little one. I think it'll put everyone's minds at ease..."

((Urie))

Celestine's hand moved to his earring as he wondered what exactly it meant to have a way to get to where Kire's family was, should he ever be so inclined. In his case it was obvious to him at least, a gesture of trust since he felt he needed to reciprocate to Kire, but Kire had made his feelings apparent. Did he just feel the need to truly give him another earring?

"I'll take good care of it," he said, glancing at the linens that Kire had offered.
"I would accept but I doubt I'll be in bed all that long. Work and such..."

Soon after he was left alone in the room. Celestine turned onto his back again and looked at the unremarkable ceiling. He did need to get to work soon, especially if Caldwell or someone related to him had called in another supernatural being. It meant there was definitely something for Celestine to find.

*****

Simon started when he suddenly saw Kire on the balcony. He was about to get up and offer the man something from the table when Mizu got off the bed and addressed Kire.

"Y..you mean you're really going to do it? I well I can't express my gratitude enough, even for trying. First you help Celestine and now me again." He glanced down at his cursed hand and then held it out cautiously toward Kire.

( Urie is really cool looking! :lol: )

Kire sighs softly, eyes half lidded as he looks at Simon, breathing out slowly as he takes the childs hand into his own, his hands glowing a soft silver as he smiles. " There's no need to thank me little one," murmurs Kire, his wings fluttering behind him as he tilts his head as Mizu stands off to the side, watching as Kire smiles at Simon. " Well then, Mizu if you'd be a dear and get me a towel..." Mizu blinks, nodding to go get the towel as Kire takes it, setting it beside him as he nods.

" Okay then, lets get this taint off that pretty hand of yours Simon," murmurs Kire, reaching up as he removes his green earring, the item glowing as it froms into a small dagger as Kire smiles gently, bringing the dagger to his hand as he runs it across his palm, blood dripping along the dagger at it glows and shimmers, the purplish blood starting to turn silver as Kire looks toward Mizu. " I'll need some silver thread clothe Mizu..." Mizu nods, moving to form some quickly as Kire smiles at Simon. " I'm just purifying out all the other things in my blood..." Kire smiles as Mizu sets down a roll of silver thread clothe, the blood on the dagger turning a pure white color with a shimmering red-purple seeming to weave through it as Kire picks up the clothe, starting to wipe that blood off his dagger as Mizu watches silently.

" Now then," murmurs Kire, waving his bleeding hand as it glows, the wound starting to heal as he coats that silverthread clothe in blood, a symbol forming along the material as it glows as Kire takes Simon's hand gently, starting to carefully wrap that material around the others hand. " Once we get this wrapped it'll start the healing, then I'll make you up an actual elixer..."

"Of course I'll need to thank you," Simon started, regarding Kire with wide violet eyes. "You're doing me a favor...and Celestine too. I've gotten used to having my hand like this but I get the feeling that one of the reasons he doesn't want to stay around at all is because he doesn't find it fun to see me hurting..."

Simon wasn't one for instant attachments, but there was something lonely about his father's brother (as strange as that connection seemed to him) that he definitely sympathized with. It was something unseen, intangible, and indescribable in normal terms, but Simon felt a pull that was unlike the one he'd felt around Mizu. It was a sense of kinship, like what he felt around Charles. So he hadn't given much thought to the topic, but Simon knew he wanted to spend more time around his strange new family member.

"So you really like Celestine, Kire?" Simon asked the moment that his hand was wrapped. It felt odd, warmth and vibration radiated from the point of contact to his fingers. Odd because it had been years since he'd really felt anything at all in his digits themselves.

*****

It didn't take long for Celestine to decide that he really did need to get back to work. He only allowed himself to laze around for another minute or so before he had taken off the garments given to him by Kire and had pulled on the ones said person had laundered for him.

Celestine pushed at the bandage wrapped around his head to ensure it was securely in place, glanced at the mirror for half a second to make sure he didn't appear too alarming to human eyes, and then slowly opened the door leading to the rest of the mansion.
