Luke physically jumped. "What?!" he seized the older wizard by his shirt collar. Not in a threatening manner, though, but the wolf shook Jethrow some. "No way! You're pulling my leg! Please tell me you're pulling my leg! Yanking my chain! Anything!"

"I will have my revenge."  Demetri had about the same reaction as Luke, the demon, aside from that he was sitting, tied to a chair. "You're lying!" he shouted, though he could feel heat prickling his cheeks, neck, and the tips of his ears. Damnit, where the hell is this coming from?! he thought angrily, struggling in his seat. There is much to learn in this world. To learn it, you must realize you know nothing.  Jethrow was surprised by Luke's reaction, his eyes popping wide open as Luke shook him by the collar. "Why would I joke? I'm utterly serious. He's denying it to himself, but it's there."

Luke groaned deeply, running his fingers through his red hair. "Luna-chan's not going to like this..." he said, rubbing his head, contemplating her reaction.
"I'm not going to like what?" Lunora asked from the door, her brother almost jumped out of his skin. She had discarded her plain outer kimono, in favor of wearing one of her oriental kimonos and obis, leaving her figure out in the open. She could care less about now. Demetri had seen her almost naked, so might as well ditch the layers.
"L-Luna-chan! N-Nothing!" he said, trying to cover Jethrow and himself. And maybe Demi as well. No one deserved to suffer at her hand. Seriously...

There is much to learn in this world. To learn it, you must realize you know nothing. Jethrow was, frankly, surprised by Luke's reaction. He'd half expected the wolf demon to unleash a can of whoop-a** on Demetri, or try to kill him for falling in love with Lunora. Something like that. He had not expect Luke to freak out. He even started to add the honorific 'chan' after Lunora's nickname, which showed just how worried he was about his sister finding out about Jethrow's brother's condition. After so much hype, even Jethrow jumped as Lunora appeared, dressed in only her inner kimono for the first time in a while, if Jethrow remembered correctly. "Lost in this world of love and war." As Luke said that Lunora wasn't going to be happy, Lunora herself showed up at the door. Demetri felt all the color run from his face, and he strained his arms to release himself from the chains. Luke was clearly worried, which only worried Demetri even more. Thank you, stupid mind, for telling me about this, he thought to himself darkly. It had been dragged from his mind by Jethrow; was it fair for his brother to know about this before he did? Not at all. Not to mention, now he would be lording this over him for a long...long...LONG time. "Yeah, not gonna like nothing," he muttered, looking at the floor and narrowing his eyes.

Lunora watched the men curiously. Her brother and Jethrow were rather wigging out over something, and Demetri was turning red. What was up with them today? It was getting rather annoying as they avoided really answering her. Boys....
Luke was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect her to be up, about, and out of her room so early. Usually she sulked around for a while before reluctantly coming out. Man this day was getting so weird.

"Lost in this world of love and war." Demetri looked from Jethrow and Luke and sighed. "So, let me get this straight. None of us are telling her for fear of our lives, yes?" he asked. If everything were as it seemed, life would be a dream.  Anya rolled her eyes and shook her head at the three men. "You're acting like children who believe in cooties," she said jokingly. "C'mon, Lunora. Let's leave them to their craziness," she said, giving a look to the fox demon that told the other that Anya would fill her in on what was going on.

Lunora looked to the faerie and nodded. "Boys...." she muttered, following Anya out the room, closing the door behind her.
"You wanna keep your life, or better yet, your family jewels?"

"Lost in this world of love and war." Demetri immediately got Luke's meaning, and he gulped. "Count me in for staying the way I am... As soon as I'm unchained," he hinted, shooting a look at Jethrow. "She'd really react that....Violently?" he questioned, looking at the door that had only moments ago closed behind Lunora and Anya. "Are you sure that's not just your overprotective older brother syndrome showing its symptoms?" Then, he remembered how Luke had had to hold him back when Lunora had come out of the hot springs. His expression paled and turned to one of horror. If she was that violent when he was just sleeping on her floor in an unbuttoned shirt, then...Oh god, he was doomed. If everything were as it seemed, life would be a dream. Anya led Lunora down to the gardens, a little smile on her face. She actually thought it was sorta sweet...Technically, Lunora had just saved a damaged brothers' relationship. Demetri had clearly left that dragon's side because of the fox, and that meant he'd be nice to Jethrow, and the two would no longer be at each other's throats. And people like me won't get caught in the middle anymore, she thought to herself. She wasn't quite ready to let Demi off the hook for that mind control stunt he'd pulled. According to Jethrow, she'd even tried to kill him....multiple times. "Alright," she said to Lunora as they came into a section of roses. "Before I tell you what's going on, you have to promise me you won't shoot the messenger, i.e. me. Luke seems to think a violent reaction will result from the news, and I don't wanna be caught up in it."

Lunora nodded as she sat in the shade of a large tree. "I promise Anya." she said. She'd rather not kill Anya. Or she'd be pretty much alone in a sea of testosterone...
Luke looked to Jethrow. "He's got a bit of a point. He shouldn't be a real danger for the moment." the wolf said before looking back at Demetri. "Afraid not. I may exaggerate sometimes, but not with my sister. She's... What's a good word here... Wild, I guess would be the term?"

"Lost in this world of love and war." Demetri sighed in relief at the idea that he wasn't in immediate danger. All I have to do is get over this stupid little slip-up and I'll be safe, he thought, with a pang to his heart. But he ignored it and sighed again as Jethrow released the chains. He looked down at his too-small clothes and the robe Jethrow had created, waving his hand and smiling a little at the black pants and shirt that he found himself in. He felt much better wearing clothes he liked. Then he frowned at Luke's description of his sister. The same girl who had cried to a child about killing her own mother was wild? Well, she certainly was violent, but wild...Debatable. If everything were as it seemed, life would be a dream. "Alright then," Anya said, smiling at Lunora and shaking her head. It was absolutely ridiculous that nobody wanted to inform the fox demon of this. "So, I have inside info on this, because after Jethrow swept Demi's mind, I kinda listened in, too. Basically, when Demetri first escaped and turned into a child, it was to infiltrate here and get me back to his side. His dragon, Fester, told him that he'd found you, and they followed you to that...temple... Well, you know how he got into the castle, and he tricked Jethrow with good, fake memories. Turns out, Fester is this impressively powerful mind-controller. Demetri was hurt when Jethrow left him, and Fester took that little bit of hatred and turned it into this monster. That was what led to Jethrow and Demetri getting into their magical fight. When you weren't around, Fester would climb into your window and Demi would become his normal form again, and they'd talk about plans to take over and such. At some point, Fester found those bells and he and Demi pieced together that your mother...was dead. Fester wanted to make you suffer for it, but Demetri kinda felt sorry for you and didn't like the idea. After you sorta spilled to him, he felt really bad for you. Fester came by while you were sleeping, and Demi had a fight with him where the dragon suggested killing you. Demetri got really defensive and he told the dragon off, but didn't know why. After that, Fester decided that Demetri was too weak...So he relinquished his hold on Demi, and then he fell asleep, this morning's fiasco happened, and Jethrow swept Demi's new, clean mind. As it turns out, there was a reason he fought Fester on killing you..." Anya paused to get her breath and inhaled slowly. "The reason being that Mr. Tough Guy, Demetri von Dante, has fallen in love with you."

Luke decided to leave the wizards alone. He headed back to his room and transformed into his wolf form and laid back down in front of his fireplace. This was so exhausting....
It took a moment for Lunora to absorb all the information, before laughing heartily. "Love? Me? Wonder what possessed him to think those things." she said, laughing off probably a very serious topic. She wasn't used to having someone vying for her favor so she mainly saw it as a joke.

If everything were as it seemed, life would be a dream. Anya smiled a little, shaking her had at Lunora. "I'd be careful before you laugh this off," was all she said before she head out of the hedges, trailing her fingers over a few dead flowers and restoring them to their beauty. She had never realized how much hindrance the block on her demon powers did to her faerie powers. Searan, sensing she was no longer with Lunora, came bounding down the steps of the castle and Anya knelt down by him, patting his head. I've missed you much, Healer, he said, and Anya hugged his neck, returning the feelings. [OOC:] They needed a sweet moment in here...

[OOC:]Awwww....
Lunora calmed her laughter and watched Anya go. Was it something she had said? Though it didn't matter now. Lunora got up and stretched, heading back inside. She was tired just like her brother. Such a big day...

Willow sat on her bed, yawning. She'd gone and taken a nap after helping Jethrow take care of the faerie girl, and she'd just woken up. Stretching her arms over her head, she looked around in the darkened room, since the curtains were drawn over the windows. I should probably go talk to Jethrow about lessons, she thought to herself, pulling the covers off her legs.
Zuuko had been walking in the woods all afternoon, bored of everything else. He saw the faerie and some other girl he hadn't seen yet walking in the garden, but that was the only sign of life he'd seen from the castle all day. Bored, he started to kick a random acorn he found in his path, watching as it tumbled into a puddle.

"Lost in this world of love and war." Demetri followed his brother as the older wizard led him through the hallway, looking for an empty room. The rooms had been filling up, apparently, since the siblings' classes had filled up, as well as Jethrow's. He kept his hands in his pockets, eyes cast down to the floor underneath his black hair. It was strange, being around Jethrow. He'd never really known his brother. From the way Luke acted, perhaps it wasn't so bad to have an older brother, though it would be different since he wasn't a girl...Like Lunora... If everything were as it seemed, life would be a dream. Anya put her hand on Searan's head, leading him down to the edge of the castle grounds to that same lake she'd found the little creature by. She sat down, and the dragon-hybrid put his head in her lap, emitting a little purr-like noise. She smiled, glad to have things back to the way they were supposed to be as she leaned against a tree and closed her eyes, ready for a nap. [OOC:] You're right... If Searan were human...
