Oriana's eyes shot open and after all the black dots faded away she saw what she thought she'd never see again. she quickly uncoiled and shot out of bed, opposite of Auren, but then fell to her knees cursing her leg, "Wha- What the hell.... just........ how?" she shivered, shoved into the tiniest corner of her room, "...... You died... What the.... Oh hell, I'm hallucinating!"
Oriana's head rested against the wall and she chuckled, "I'm so fricken tired I'm seeing my dead lover.... Great. I'm injured, Dehydrated, Tired, and Hallucinating... and i have a headache... a really really bad headache."
she started to cry again, and shook her head, "What next..."

Auren sighed. "Yeah, I died. That sucked." he muttered as he slid off the bed.
Heading to the door, he looked back at her. "What would you like? Asprin and a gallon of water or so?" he asked her softly, resting his hand on the handle.

"Water, My lovely hallucination, Water would be lovely..." she smiled.
After he had slipped into the hall to retrieve the water she used the wall to push herself up and in a hobbling fashion, sprinted down the hall in the opposite direction, to take a left and enter the master bedroom of the house.
Oriana shot into the room and dove under the covers trembling, whimpering, crying. She clung tight to her father and whispered, "Papa.... I'm seeing things.... He's in my room... well getting me a glass of water now, but he's dead..."
Damir, hardly stirred from his deep slumber, mumbled something about some girl, and his wife not telling him...
Oriana paled and slipped out of his bed with a funny feeling. like walking on air, and her stomach leaping up into her throat... or butterflies... she walked back to her room in a daze, but when she turned the corner she noticed him coming up the stairs at the other end of the hall and smiled.
He is back.... she thought as he smiled grew to a stupefied grin. setting these odd feelings aside, and pushing the memories of today back under icy lock and key, she limped the rest of the way to her room and snuggled herself back into bed.

Auren shook his head as he saw her thought process run through her head. Chuckling softly as he went into the bedroom and set the water on her nightstand, he lay down next to her and took her into his arms.
He may be a servant of the Valkrja but damned if he was gonna let that get in the way of spending time with his love.

feeling the warmth of his arms around her was enough for her. it was enough to keep everything locked away. oriana nuzzled into him and kissed his shoulder softly, "I love you, and i'm so glad you're back."
After a few light sobs she fell asleep with ease.

The next morning found Oriana's bed berefit from Auren's prescence. His armor was gone as well. No notes, this time, for Oriana's benefit.
Meanwhile, in the Kitchen, Auren was busy raiding the pantries and coldboxes, and had all the stoves going. He was going to make a breakfast the likes no one else had seen before. Keeping an eye on the Valkyrie through means he wasn't sure of, she hadn't stirred all morning.
Ah well, let her sleep. Probably dragging him back from the dead was a tiring process.
Setting the table with speed and precision, he looked out the window to see the sun slowly rise. The odd thing was, by Auren's own internal clock, he had slept two? three? hours and felt as though that were normal and he got plenty of sleep.
Oh well. More time to think on things.

Hali skipped downstairs, lured by the smell of many different breakfast foods. Ham, steak, eggs, pancakes, toast... she shivered thinking of the things her family was cooking.
The only odd thing that was odd, is that she was usually the first person up, so who would be up at this time?
Hali creaked the door open a crack and peeked inside to see Auren Shiro... the dead man... cooking breakfast.
suddenly becoming overwhelmed by fear and confusion she stepped away from the door and dashed up the stairs to her parent's room, where she snuggled inbetween them whimpering, "There.... There's a dead man..... In our kitchen.... And he has both arms.... And... And....."
"I thought we went over this Oriana." Damir growled as he sat up, "He was standing in the entryway and said that some chick down the hall brought him back... now, git!" he looked down and saw Hali snuggled up to him and shivering, "Goodness Hali, What's wrong, And where's your sister?"
Hali's large tear-filled eyes met his and she whimpered, "Savarti brought him back?!"
"Sure.....?"
Hali slid back out of bed and silently left the room.
Damir scratched his head laid back down and went back to sleep.
~~~~~~
Oriana sat up and tried to stretch, but found her muscles too tight to stretch. curling back up into the ball she slept in she found herself nose to nose with her sister, "Hali...."
"mmyesh?" she purred, obviously having a good dream.
Oriana shook her head and slid out of bed, replacing her body with a pillow, which Hali quickly wrapped herself around. She felt a sharp pain in her right knee and looked down to see a bloody bandage wrapped around her leg. she stole her first aid kit from her drawer and replaced the bandage, and cloth, then limped behind her dressing curtain, and got dressed for the day.
Slipping down the stairs, she entered the kitchen and slid into a chair at the table, "Good morning, love."

"Good morning, love." he answered while putting a few crepes on a plate and the plate in front of her.
"Breakfast isn't entirely ready yet, so it'll be a bit. Here are a couple of crepes to tide you over until then."
He turned his attention and seemed to be looking through the walls. "As my mistress hasn't awoken yet, I'm free until then. She doesn't seem to know what she's doing so..."
Auren shrugged and turned his attention back to Oriana, smiling. "How're you feeling other then hurt?"

'Mistress...?'
"Oh, tired... but i didn't want to get attacked by my sister, so i got out of bed..."Oriana grumbled as she rubbed her eyes, "thank you for breakfast... Do you need help with anything?" She asked as she used the table and the back of the chair to rise to her feet.

"Nope. You sit right there and enjoy your breakfast snack. Would you like anything to drink?" he asked her. Seeing that brief flicker of confusion, he decided to clarify it.
"Whatever she says, I feel like I'm compelled to obey. Don't ask me how or why, I just am so... Whatever she says, I go and do. Make sense?"

Oriana nodded, understanding what he was saying, but not entirely sure who 'She' was.
Oriana settled back into her chair and smiled, "No, I'm alright... Maybe some water though... " she picked up her fork and cut out a corner of the crepe, swirled it in the strawberry sauce oozing from the inside and ate it, "C'est bien, mon amour."

Auren placed a glass of water on the table next to Oriana and went back to cooking, occasionally attempting to stare through the walls and was successful every time it seemed like.
Checking everything once over and ensuring nothing would start a fire, he came around the table, gave Oriana a tight hug before leaving the kitchen with "The Valkyrie is stirring, so I am going to tend to her. I shall be back."
Walking down the halls in the early morning, he slipped into Savarti's room, where the Valkyrie slowly awoke.
Upon sensing his presence, she sat up stiffly and looked at the Einherjar at attention. "What.... Auren, is it?" she muttered.
"Aye, m'lady. What are your orders?" he asked her softly.
"Take me to whatever you smell like..." she muttered and got out of bed.
Auren led her back to the kitchen where the armored and disheveled Valkyrie looked at Oriana with a blank, red-eyed stare. To be perfectly honest, she just looked like a winged, bleary eyed soldier, not a warrior of the Aesir.

"Good.... Morning?" Oriana gave her an odd look and smiled, "So you're the one who resurrected Auren... I thank you very much."
' So you're the one sharing my lover... Odd how these things turn out, huh...'
Though she wasn't exactly pleased with the fact that she had to share him with another woman she was glad it happened to be this particular one... At least she could intimidate her.

Savarti nodded once "You are more then welcome, I know a bit about your... separation. And trust me, once I figure out how to release him... I will." she said and sighed.
Auren brought her a few crepes as well, along with apple juice before returning to his kitchen duties wordlessly.
Savarti stabbed her crepe and shook her head and took off her helmet, set it aside, and began listlessly eating the crepe while lost in her own vision. Looking around in her implants, she looked at Auren's back and didn't see anything come up.
Sighing, she shook her head. "I'm out of ideas." she muttered and stabbed another Crepe.

Oriana drank a bit of her water and finished half of the crepe by the time her sister shuffled downstairs.
Hali was clinging to a pillow with her hair messily braided in a long french braid. her eyes were half open and she sat at the table opposite of her sister, "Good morning everyone... Wow... I haven't slept like that in what feels like ages... Kaiser's so mean... Making a sweet little princess like me do drills and stuff... Forcing me to put on a strong front."
Her lazy eyes drifted over to what Savarti was gnawing on and her nose flared, "That smells good... What is it?" she grumbled sleepily.
