Demare carefully made his way through the darkness, slipping past soft glowing eyes while he made his way toward the exit. Lately, the shadows had been growing faster than he'd expected them to be. It was as if they were feeding off of something, and they were becoming more and more independant each time he visited. Was Demian really losing control of them, or was he just being paranoid with his trust issue...? Nevertheless, ever since he'd damaged his arms nearly two weeks ago, Demare's hold on things had been slipping drastically. It wasn't until the other day when the child had nearly lost himself inside his own realm that he decided he needed to get his mind off of things for a while. He needed to hang around someone that didn't really make him think a whole lot... Karan seemed like just the kid. He'd promised to help him out, anyway, nearly two months ago.
"Remember what I told you..." Demian sighed heavily, closing his two red eyes, "No telling him anything."
"Can I tell him what happened to our arms...?" Clare asked, taking control of the body before it slumped to the dark floor. "It'll be a little hard to ignore that one, especially with the right arm still in a sling."
"Whatever. Just don't go into details about it, all right? It's... not any of his business to know."
Clare didn't respond as he continued forward, stopping at a small hole of light. Placing his left hand on the fragment, he slowly stepped forward, disappearing from the shadowy world, and walking right into the real world. ...Something wasn't right, though. The real world was a bit too leafy.
Looking down, Demare immediately began to panic, his two wings spreading out as far as they could and stiffening while the child tried to keep his balance. He'd stepped out into the tree?! Demian did this on purpose!! At least he was at Karan's house... but how was he going to get down with one arm?

Sirius, one of the resident Talaye, yawned from his spot on one of the tree's thicker branches. Not much had happened lately. But then, that was normal he supposed. Aside from helping with deliveries and the occasional ride or tasting duty, life was simple. He liked it that way. Complications led to bad things, which always seemed to be scary, and always seemed to result in him losing consciousness. And even though being unconscious was generally less frightening for the duration, he wanted to keep his head straight, at least until his son returned.
Unfortunately for him, normality would have to wait for a while.
He closed his eyes and let out another great yawn, then opened them again. What was that, a falling branch? Sirius twisted to avoid it, but soon realized it wasn't falling. Nor was it a branch, but a person. With wings. Who smelled faintly of blood.
The mysterious stranger could have been manageable on its own, but the fact that he had appeared from nowhere in a tree- his tree- was a little too much for the always phobic Tala to bear. His blue eyes closed again, and he slipped off the branch, hitting the ground with a loud thud and a slightly less audible crunch.

Demare backed up along the branch carefully, his wings twitching and shifting to maintain his balance, until his back bumped into the thick trunk of the tree and he slid his small body down into a sit. Goodness... That wasn't something he was expecting at all, and it was rather frightening to think of what could have happened had he fallen out of the tree at that height. He could have broken more bones! If his right arm wasn't enough all ready...
Taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down, the child's ears twitched slightly as they picked up the sound of rustling leaves and branches, followed by a rather loud thud and a soft crunch. What was that...? Turning his bi-colored eyes toward the direction of the sound, the large orbs caught a glimpse of a familiar blue mane and black fur. What was that creature?? And where had it come fro--
"Crap." The child began to panic again, realizing that the large creature must have fallen out of the tree when he'd appeared. Was it hurt?? Was it okay?? Quickly, Demare began to search for a way out of the tree. He couldn't climb down with one arm... That would be impossible from where he was. He couldn't fly down, either, since the branch didn't extend far enough outward for his wings to properly expand enough for "flight". Then, how...?
"Oh, for Christ's sake. Jump, you fool!" Demian hissed, tired of listening to Clare's silent questions.
"B-but, Demian... the ground is kind of a bit far..." Clare protested, more worried about the landing than anything. If he didn't land right, he could cause quite a bit of harm to his legs. Or worse, he could not even land on his feet and hurt his arms even more.
"You wanna be stuck in here forever?"
"N-no..."
"Then move your a**... AND JUMP!"
Clare whimpered a little bit as the demon screamed at him, lifting his left arm as a reflex to cover his head. Wait... Demian couldn't hit him while he was in the body, so what did he have to worry about? Staring toward the ground, the child bit his lip softly as he considered the options once more. While jumping wasn't the wisest (or smartest) idea, it seemed like the best one at this point. Great... and of all the luck, he was the one to be feeling the pain, too.
Demare, with the help of his left hand, used the trunk for support as he carefully stood up once more, a rather frightened expression washed over his face as he stared out toward a good enough opening between branches to jump through. He'd be feeling this one for a while, he knew... Hopefully no one would be too mad at him for it. The last thing he wanted to do was make Karan's guardian upset and sending him home. Or worse, having her end up calling Domonic to tell him what he'd done. Good thing Neko wasn't back yet... He'd REALLY let him have it, then. Extending his good arm, the halfling child made his way closer to the end of the branch, trying hard not to listen to the eerie creaking sounds from the tree due to weight being added to weak parts of the branch. He was so close... just a couple more steps and he had a good shot of jumping right out.
Unfortunately, gravity had decided he'd gone far enough. In fact, it decided he'd gone too far, and part of the branch snapped right behind him. Demare didn't have much time to react as he began to fall, not even getting to really cry out as he landed quite hard on his stomach two branches down, knocking the wind out of him. He never thought he was that heavy, but the tree seemed to think so. With the combination of the force of the fall and the weight of the child, the branch once again broke from the tree and allowed the child to plummet downward further, causing him to fall right onto his back with a loud, sickening crack. It was as if the tree wanted to make sure he was out of breath, AND in pain.
It didn't help that Demian was laughing inside of Demare's head.
"T-that... *wheeeeeze* wasn't.... *cough* funny..." he struggled to get out aloud, his head spinning while his body just tingled with pain. At least that crick in his back was gone now... Thank the gods that nothing was broken this time.
Demare shifted his head, his strange eyes searching for the creature he'd seen from the tree while he tried to catch his breath. Spotting the blue mane not too far away from him, he waited for a long moment before trying to call out.
"Hey..." he managed to say, wincing as he tried to roll himself over. "...Hey! Are y-you okay...?"

"Whuhappnd?" Sirius' eyelids slowly rolled back, revealing that the blue orbs were somewhat disoriented.
Then, as he remembered, he rolled to his feet. "You! What on earth do you think you're doing, just appearing in my tree and scaring the living daylights out of me? Didn't you bother to think that there might be someone there who was just relaxing, minding their own business, and who might, just might be disturbed by someone interrupting their rest? What were you thinking?"
Scolding finished, the Tala remembered what might have been a more important question, and helt relieved that his fur would hide any traces of a blush.
"Oh... and who are you, anyway?"

Demare cringed as the tala scolded him, relieved that the creature seemed to be okay. With a closer look, he even remembered who it was: Sirry, the tala that took him and Karan to the park that one day. Wincing, the child sat up slowly, pain tingling throughout his back for a moment as it lifted off the ground.
"I'm glad you're all right," he said, sighing lightly. "I was a little worried when I heard that crack. I'm sorry about scaring you. I didn't mean to, honest!"
His wings stretched and spread themselves out as he turned his bi-colored eyes to the creature, smiling like nothing was wrong with him.
"My name is Demare. It's been a few months since I saw you last, Sirry."

As soon as he heard his nickname, Sirius blushed again. Who did this kid think he was, calling him by his nickname when he didn't know him? He just appears and scares the living daylights out of him, and then calls him by the name that only DS and Miko would use? When he didn't even know-
Then again, if they had never met, he wouldn't know the nickname. And he did apologise. That was always welcomed. Perhaps it really was an accident.
"I'm quite alight," he finally harrumphed, shaking himself out just to make sure before looking the boy in the eye. "Have we... met?"

Demare nodded a little bit, keeping his innocent smile. He didn't expect to be remembered, because he felt there was no reason for anybody to remember him, but he had grown since their last meeting. Had he been a baby and this happened, things would have been very different in many ways.
"A few months ago, Karan's guardian had asked you to take me and him to the park," he explained, moving his hand to rub his right shoulder a little bit. "It was a lot of fun, really... Getting to actually fly like that. Since I was still a baby, I couldn't properly thank you for the ride. So, even though it's belated, I thank you for that flight. It was greatly appreciated."

"Oh... OH!" Faint memories wove together a picture from the past that made him slightly dizzy. "That was you? You were so much, eh, smaller then. You're quite welcome, of course. Anytime."
It was an offer Sirius meant, as he had long ago conquered his fear of heights and now enjoyed flying almost as much as sleeping in the tree. And he figured he owed something for being so harsh on the visitor. Who did, now that he thought about it, so resemble the babe from that trip months back. He briefly wondered if his parents felt as old as he did from such a sudden group, but let that thought slide.
Considerably relieved, he let out a sigh. "So, I take it you're here to see young Karan?" As he spoke he started walking towards the house. "I'm sure everyone would love the company. So quiet around here lately, you know. Good for naps, but bad for good conversation."

Demare put the offer aside in his mind, making sure to remember that for later. He couldn't fly very well himself, so being with someone would be nice. As he asked about his being here, the child nodded, taking in a deep breath before trying to stand.
Oh dear GOODNESS his back was sore. Hopefully, the pain would die down throughout the day. Exhaling slowly, he turned to look at the tala, adjusting his black tattered scarf a little bit.
"If he's home, then I'd love to see him," he said, his wings fidgetting a little. "That is, if it's all right. I don't want to disturb anyone."

The Tala shook his head. "Oh, no trouble at all. In fact I-"
"Sirry? Sirius, are you okay?" DS hurried across the lawn (while mentally noting it needed a trim). "I heard a crash."
"Just the tree." Sirius looked up at it, finally seeing what damage had been done. If nothing else, he'd have to be very careful in the lower branches for a while. "We have a visitor."
"So we do," the woman said, eyeing him. After a pause she smiled. "It's nice to see you again, Demare-kun. Karan's inside. Unless you came for some of my famous chocolate pie?"

Demare blinked a few times, his head tilting to the left a little bit. Chocolate... pie? He'd heard of pies before, but Neko wouldn't let him try it since he was so young. ...And since his growth, she wouldn't let him try sweets for one reason or another.
"I've... never heard of chocolate, ma'am," he finally told her, using his left hand to rub the back of his neck while the fingers of his right twitched in the sling a little bit. "I've never heard of a chocolate pie, either. Does it taste good?"
"You're going to have some of this... pie," Demian decided, his two red eyes opening slightly.
"But... Neko said we shouldn't have sweets," Clare protested mentally.
"He doesn't have to know, stupid. If the lady doesn't tell him, and Domonic doesn't find out, then we're the only ones who'd know about it."
"That's wrong, though! I don't want to break his trust!"
"But you want to try it, don't you?"
"Well... it DOES sound pretty good..."
"Then just try a little bit! What harm could it do?"
"What if there's a reason we're not supposed to have it, though?""
"We won't know until we try it, now will we?"
"... You... Well, you have a point, oddly enough. Logically, if we don't try it, we'll never know WHY we aren't allowed to have any."
"So try it."
"I don't know..."
"Stop bein' a baby!"
"M-maybe... I could try some a little later?" he stammered, trying to block out anything else Demian might try to tell him. "I wanted to help Karan, first."

"Oh, of course. It's still cooling anyway, but I'll bring some in for you kids once it's done." Holding the door open for the guest, DS tossed her apron onto the kitchen table as they walked through. It was a fairly short walk, as Karan's room was near the kitchen, and she left Demare next to the open door. "Have fun."
Inside, Xue was bouncing a familiar plushie on the bed.
Dragon is hungry! Dragon wants food! :E
Karan clapped his hands, though they made no sound as both slapped a plushie in his lap instead of eachother. He was leaning back against the wall, and the ratty old box was on the floor, barely together. A newer, stiff looking box had been shoved into the corner, seemingly untouched.

Demare bowed his head a little bit as DS made her leave, his reddish hair falling over his face somewhat. Brushing the one long lock of hair behind his ear, he watched the happenings inside the room for a long moment, a slight smile on his face. It was that... doll boy. The one that had scared him when he slept over that one night. He found it a little silly, actually, that he was even afraid back then, seeing the boy in the light. But at least Karan had "protected" him.
He rested a hand carefully on his damanged arm, waiting outside of the room for the time being as he spoke. "Am I interrupting anything?" he asked, his wings folding behind his back a little bit.

Xue hadn't forgotten that incident either, and backed up a little.
Is wing boy still mad at Xue? Xue is sorry... sad
In contrast with the Porcelain's actions, Karan leaned forward happily, the toys completely forgotten. "Dmah! Dmah!"
In his hurry to see his friend he forgot that he wasn't in his box and leaned forward a bit too far. Though he was only on his knees, the lack of balance caused the Legend to sway dangerously near the edge of the bed.
