She yanked her arm back and shook her head. "Just get it off of me and I"ll be fine. I just have to.." she trailed off then started to shove the pile off of her but it hurt so much to move. She reached down and felt the gash that had gone diagonally up her body, from her hip up by her breast. Thank god it hadn't really cut off her breast, that would have sucked. Maybe she should let them phase her back, but first she'd see if she could get back there herself.

Jaun looked hurt that she pulled away from him like that. It seemd to him that usually she would ahve asked first. He fell back like a puppy, tail and ears drooping.
Jell was looking at his bloody clthes, her long gash. "Are you sure you don't want us to clean that, Star Flower? It might get infected..." he looked generally concerned.
Jaun put a hand on his rbothrs shoulder. "I'm not so sure she likes us anymore." he whispered.
"What?!"
"That makes me sad isnide." Little tears welled up in both their eyes.
Moonstone held her close, was careful when he went down the stairs so that he wouldn't bump Kat too bad. Outside, he walked through the few remaining, withered flowers to the wooded area out back. He set her down by a tree, and fished around for a stic or something she culd widdle. he handed her one, "Will this do?"
Warren giggled when she pulled the ale away form him. "My stomach feels all bubbly now. No, I can take more, really." But he couldn't find the mug anymore. And of course, he was pretty much dead weight in her arms. "Purdy? You're purdy."

Zahara heard them and sighed, great now she'd hurt their feelings. She cared about them, she wasn't a true Drow right? Isnt' that why she'd been kicked out of her home? Nothing made sense anymore. How could one enemy change everything in so short a time? How could one monster change her perspective. She thought she knew finally who she was and now she wasn't sure al over again. "It's not that. I just...hurt."

Kat nodded, and taking the stick she seperated it into several pieces. she took out her knife and began. She breathed a havey sigh of relieph the moment she startes. "That feels better." She quickly removed all the aprk with her trusty little dirk. "What does aelo look like?" Her voice was going back down to normal.
"Yes Warren we have established that i'm 'purdy'" But Eliot couldn't help but smile. She grunted loudly when she managed to get Warren off of his feet, she'd never get him up the stairs liek this. "you knw you can sleep by the fire tonight. Wont that Be nice Warren? To sleep by the fire?" She wondered if she'd have to make sure he didn't roll INTO the fire by accident. Look sliek she was sleepign down here as well tonight.

The two were nearly on her again, asking if she was hurt, if they could help, what they could do. At the same time, they put there little hands on her wounds, trying to help clean it, or maby ehold it closed or sometihng, but the moment they toucher here they both drew back as if they were bruned. They had both just whitnessed how she reacted the first time they had touched her...
"You still like us, Star Flower?"
"We can still have fun together right?"
"We had fun, didn't we?"
They wanted to help, and started wringing their hands and twisting their tails.
"Maybe....maybe we could bring you soem food..."
"Or bring you to the food..."
"Or amybe grow soem food right here around you, and you wouldn't have to move at all..."

Moonstone scratched behind his ear. "Aloe looks like the tenticles. Yeah, tenticles. Kind of like they are reaching out from the ground, little spines along the edge, They are very thick leaves, because they hold a sap like middle, which has some amazing healing properties." he loked aroudn teh trees. "But I don't know if it will grow without sunlight." He loked down at her knife. "What are you making?"
He laughed and almost fell over her. "Purdy, purdy." he said in a soft, fading voice. "Ooo, by the fire, where it's all dancing and warm..and...mystically dancing.." he started staring into the falmes, taking on a trance-like look, starrying, starring....but his sweet little smiled faded, and his eyes turned cloudy. "Like the way thhey held it before my eyes before shoving it down my throat...I tried to scream around the flames but nothing was working....where was I, when i finally blacked out? Where did I go? What did they do to me while Bode cried in a corner? They took things from me...." he was in a stuppor, rambling on.

Kat nodded. sounded like a pretty cool plant. And hey if it stopped the entire right side of her body from burnign she was cool with that. She looked up at moonstone and opened the palm of her hand. There was a minature of Moonstone holding her to his chest. beside her on the ground hoever was a couple roughly done of the creatures that she saw in the house that night. They weren't complete though. Only started. She didn't want to finishe them. "Just... a happy memorie, instead of a bad one."
Eliot almost froze. what in the world had this wizard suffered? Maybe lying him by the flames wasn't such a good idea. She thought he might break down so she grabbed a hold of his face. "Look at me Warren, thats it look at me." She kept her eyes on his as she talked. "Think of nicer things Warren." Not really sure what to do she popped her ears out and wiggled them a bit, like she would have done for one of the pups, "what am I warren? Common..." Keeping his eyes on her she walked him away from the fire, and towards the staris. He would have to sleep in the bed after alll.

Moonstone blinked. "How did you do that so fast? There can;'t be a way," he loked aroudn himself, "I've been looking at you this whole time..." He was generally confused. He sniffed at the air and loked around, but mot much really grew on this ground.
Warren looked at her, then back at the fire, which was why she had to keep distracting him. He couldn't remeber any nice things, but then..."oo, a puppy!" He kind of laughed a little bit and smiled, slumping agianst her, stumbling where she lead him. "Come here puppy, come on. Lets go play. Father never let me have pet. I was a hostage." he giggled again.

Kat laughed. "No you have not been looking at me the whole time, and besides they're tiny." And they were tiny, no bigger than her tumb, "I've been doign these for years. Its how I keep.." She sort of stuttered, she didn't like tellign people that she had problems, let alone admitting them to herself. "How i keep myself happy" she finished.
Eliot rolled her eyes. if thats what it was goign to take. she let her nose pop out, then her tail, and most of her fur to, her paws. she kept her legs and arms though so that she cuold hold him up properly. Her eyes changed to gold as well. At least this way she still had hr vouice. "Well the puppy wants to go play upstairs." She wined, "If you go upstairs then we can play!" She urged him forward.

Moosnte looked at the figureies again. "They are good." He foudn some aloe, which was small and stunted, but at least it was there. He picked whe could, bringin it back and kneeling beside Kat. He sqeezed the plant so that the goo covered his fingers, adn started to rub it onto her burns. "Why do you need to keep yourself happy?" Moonstone, whos emotions were all so knew to him, was interested in such things. maybe it would help him understand why Onyx was the way he was.
Warren doubled his efforts to get up the stairs, but he was laughing loudly and constantly, "the puppy wants to play! Wow, that is soo neat!" lauhging, his arm around the "puppy" he started to trudge up the stairs. "What are we goign to play when we get upstairs, puppy?"

Kat cringed a bit as moonstone's fingers rubbed over her burns, but the gooey stuff, it felt good, cold. 'Well... if your not happy, your sad. Working on things like this, or drawing or doing other things, keeps me from thinking of sad things." She wasn't quite sure how to put it though, "I keep busy or... or i feel sad."
Eliot didn't know what you did with a puppy, she had never been a pet after all. "Oh we can do whatever you want Warren. All the thinsg yuo never got to do with a puppy, but you have to get to your bed first." She had one foot on the stair. "Come now, you need to behave Warren so that we can play when we get to your room!" She said it as happy as she could, even laughing along with him.

Moonstone nodded, "I see," although he really didn't. The only thing he could relate to was the fact that he was bored when he wasn't doing something now. But he didn't get sad. "Well, it's good then that you've found something, isn't it?" He finsihed rubbing on the aloe. "Come on, I'll bring you back to your room, so that you can rest." he reached under her again and swooped her up, carrying her as easily as if she were a feather.
Warren laughed all the way up the stairs, so loud that other occupants of the keep were annoyed, and banging on the walls. Aella and meilikki were actually yelling at them from their bedroom on the main floor. That just amde Warren laguh more. Eliot ogt himto his bed, and he fell face down on it. His eyes were getting heavey. "Does puppy want to play?" He groaned into his pillow.

Kat laid down gingerly in her bed. "Yes, I feel sad. Sometimes i don't know why." her lids where drooping and she wasn't thinking abotu what she said. 'I used to hurt myself pretty badly, because I didn't know why I hurt. Sometimes i still do it." She put a hand to her ear lobe wear her piercings were. "But the drawings... the sculptures.. they help...and i feel better...thank you moonstone" she whispered as she fell asleep for the first time in a long time.
Eliot whispered, "Warren, the puppy wants to sleep. But It's a good puppy and will sleep here okay?" She had no idea what he was going to do, but he was tried that much was obvious.

"Oh...really?" he loked at her saddly. What had shegone through? He settled down on the floor, his amrs on the bed, his head on his arms. "You are welcome Kat. I'll be here, okay? If you need me." And he slept there that night, beside Kat but on the floor, ready to wake if she needed something. Anything at all.
"Puppy's gotagoodsidea" Warren had practically passed out face down on the bed. His breathing was deep and even, sleeping well, although he looked pale. He had only eaten three bites of food after all, and that ale would give him a hangover in the morning.

She moaned again, pain slicing through her body and she slowly pushed herself into a sitting position, shoving all the guts from the dead Sphinx off of her. She took her bloody hands and wiped them on her skirt, not that it really mattered and glanced around. Malik. She nodded to the twins and then sneered, "Come to be my elf in shining armor Malik?" she asked gritting her teeth.
