Kate had spent the night outside for most of the time. The other part of it she had spent sitting up in the hay loft. She hadn't felt like sleeping anyway. The atmosphere in that country home had brought up bad memories for her.
She didn't say anything to Che as she heard him wake up and leave the barn to head into the house. The Eternity Owl simply shrugged when he called out to her to get ready to leave. She got to her feet and began climbing down the ladder to the ground floor of the barn. After exiting the barn, Kate went back over to the house to wait outside for Che.
====
Erin had stuck with Noel and everyone as they arrived at what appeared to be the home of Amara's parents. She didn't really understand fully of what was going on though. The night passed uneventfully though as everyone had gone to bed soon after their arrival at the safe-house. Erin had tried to talk to her sister about what exactly had happened to change her appearance into that of a machine, but Elle was strangely putting her off and not wanting to talk about it. Erin was worried about her.

((UNS - Will))
The devil hadn't made much conversation after things got a bit awkward as Roulin's words to Cecilia were projected to every single one of the Great Four. Everyone had dispersed for the time being, and the Great Four members would lay low for the moment.
Will had turned his attention back to Anya and dragged the Poison Owl into the building as she protested the whole way in. It was safer for her in the mansion, and Will would rather her not wander around out in the town. While he could prevent any of the town inhabitants from harming her, he couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't be driven crazy by the sights and appearances of the town and its inhabitants in the dead of night. To Anya Newton, he offered her the best "guestroom" in the mansion. It was really the Mistress's quarters, but Will didn't tell her that because he knew her reaction. Will himself, naturally, took to the Master's quarters.
Bailey and Morgan took the two rooms next to each other while Nikolai had the room further down the hall on the second floor. Johan's was in the middle somewhere. Sebastian informed them of the facilities in the mansion, none of which were on the third floor, which the guests had been warned to stay away from. As requested, Sebastian attended to any needs to the guests and prepared snacks. Then, everyone retired for the night. Almost everyone. Will had made a visit to the third floor to greet the other three who had come to visit, and then stayed awake to do whatever it was he needed to. He didn't need much sleep. The night was pretty uneventful except perhaps for Morgan having the sensation that the place was haunted...and she was haunted by a certain spirit who was bored. Anya was safe from any harm or disturbance, and almost the same could be said for Bailey, Nikolai, and Johan. It would have been different for Johan if Will somehow knew of the man's constant plans to kill Anya.
The next morning, Will allowed whoever to sleep in if they wanted to. Either way, breakfast was warm and ready. The guests were allowed to use the facilities and even explore the town, which was normal at this time. Lunch was also provided at the mansion.

Aeon's eyes opened slowly as the sun had came up. She closed her eyes, taking in what was going on around her. She soon sat up as she straightened out her bed hair. Walking towards a shower that was outside she turned the dial as water began to pour out. It was a perfect temperature as she cleaned herself once more. Her and Moli had definitely had a memorable night. Once the shower was done she reached for a towel and dried herself off as she went to go find some clothing for today. She finally found an outfit that was to her liking. She slipped it on and combed through her hair as she began to look for some things to cook for Gaeta and Moli.Amara woke up in a room at the deserted monestary in hidden in the mountains. They had arrived late that night and by then Vincent had been well asleep. It gave her and Lucien enough alone time to catch up. No matter how he made her angry she still loved Lucien. Amara then went to a shower and she washed herself up and then looked for some women clothing. Luckily for her she had found some but they were traditional wear. Shrugging she put on an outfit that was cute to her. She then proceeded to go look for something that she could cook for the boys. A part of Amara felt bad because she remembered the people who lived at this place...she had killed them...not intentionally but she still had murdered innocent people none the less.Elle had awoken as she stared out of a window. For some reason she had been really distant from her sister Erin. Erin had tried to communicate via their hive mind but Elle shut her mind off from her. Erin couldn't possibly understand what was going on with her sister and her mutation. Perhaps she could warm up to her and talk about it but as of now...she didn't feel she could. Sighing she continued to look out the window.

Erin had already eaten lunch and was considering making something for Elle. She really was worried about her sister, and it was even more worrisome that Elle wouldn't even talk to her via their hive mind. And since it seemed that Elle was pushing her away, Erin decided to leave Elle alone from now on. She figured that Elle would talk to her when she wanted to. But the mere idea made Erin concerned and sad that her sister quite possibly wanted nothing to do with her anymore for some reason or other. It also seemed to her that when Elle had met Jaylin, she was being pushed to the curb of Elle's life now. It wasn't that Erin resented Jaylin in any way. She was just sad that Elle was taking her for granted now.
As she was thinking, Erin made Elle a sandwich and carried it on a plate towards the room, the sisters had shared last night. She knocked on the door lightly, hoping her sister was in there. If she didn't get an answer, Erin would just leave the sandwich and the plate on the floor next to the door for Elle to find later.
====
Johan had woken up early, as he normally did. The Mirroring Owl didn't seem to be bothered in the least by their recent stay at Will's 'safe' house. He was still ticked off that he was stuck here with Anya and he couldn't really do anything about it. He'd spent most of the day in the main living room of the house, reading a book he had found in the mansion's library.
Of course, Anya had been dragged into the mansion by Will despite all her protests against it. She had been all but tossed onto the bed in one of the nicest rooms in the house. Not that Anya really cared about what room she stayed in, but she was sure that Will was only giving her that room for some end to get her to like him or something. She had tried to get out of the room, but the door had been 'conveniently' locked by either Will or Sebastian to keep her in there. Of course, Anya had been pissed off about it at first. But she soon calmed down when she had felt sleep overtaking her.
She had awoken the next morning refreshed, but in slight pain from her reopened wound on her side. Will had tried to get Sebastian to offer her a first aid kit, but those attempts were quickly shut down as soon as they were offered. However, at one point, Anya opened her door to find the kit sitting on a table in the hallway. She took it and restitched her wound and bandaged it before replacing the first aid kit before Sebastian could notice it was missing. That was how Anya had spent her day. Basically turning down any help or meal or what have you from Will or Sebastian.

"Oh yeah, I'm fine. Just messing with my ability is all. I've learned quite a few things about my powers. Things it should be taking me weeks to understand." Roulin replied to the formally dressed owl while he splashed his feet in the jacuzzi like a child. In the center of the warm, bubbly pool, a whirlpool swirled. The lights at the bottom of the pool refracted and reflected from the pattern in the jacuzzi giving off spectrum of colors. "Heh. You see? I can freeze the water, but I can't manipulate ice too. And...I can heal myself using it. See?" Roulin lifted his arm to give view to a purple, tender patch of skin. The painful looking bruise ran down his side and stopped just where his ribcage did. Using his telekinesis, he brought the water up to the bruise. The cold sting of the water made the young healer quiver. The sensation was almost tickling. Now, coupled with his ability to heal, he used the water's properties to aid his power. The bruise was gone within seconds leaving Roulin still kicking in the jacuzzi. Looking over his shoulder at his well dressed girlfriend, he laughed, then clapped once. "Ta-da! Of course, now that I know this, I need to be around water to heal people. Now, if you'd be so kindest as to hand me my clothes my dear, I can get dressed for this mission/investigation I'm not being paid for."
~~~
Soliel gave a smirk to Lorna as she crossed from the bed, to the dresser, then to the bathroom. The volcanic man soon arose in the bed. He walked across it's length then stepped off and continued to the draped window. He pulled the drapery appart, then took in the evening sun. For Soliel, the rays of the massive ball of fire had almost a recharging effect on him. Calmingly, he exhaled removing the tension that had built up while he slept. What was on his mind now was getting downstairs to greet everyone, then speaking to Raven. After gathering and getting into a dark red shirt woven with silk and a pair of burgundy slacks, he combed his blonde hair back until each end curved at the back of his head. He didn't need shoes. Any rocks or rubble beneath him would be melted down upon contact. Grabbing hold of coat which was only a shade lighter than his pants, he knocked on the bathroom door to get Lorna's attention. "Think you can get the elevator for me Lorna? I can take the stairs if you don't feel up to it."
~~~
Che finished up his culinary duties and marveled at his own work. He'd made enough eggs for every one including Thomas. That was a mistake, but he didn't care. There were at least sixteen pieces of bacon left. Che, on his plate, had about four. Ms. Rutherford had long given him access to the bread. Happily and with a growling stomach, the mastering owl locked his eyes on the breakfast sandwich he'd constructed using almost a half a pound of eggs and bacon. He didn't take into account the weight of the bread, not that he needed to or cared. After attempting to say a prayer and finding that he couldn't due to the large picture of Christ over the sink against the wooden cabinets, Che ate the sandwich in record time, then let out a sigh of fullness.
Placing his dish in the sink for the working man Thomas to clean, he exited the house. Kate was outside waiting for him. Smiling at the down emo, he approached her, heavily draping his arm over her shoulder. He needed the force to jar her from her daydream. "Well now, I think you don't like being in that house. Trust me, I don't either. Let's say we talk about it, eh? What's on your mind sport?"
~~~
Lomoli awoke from his sleep with fluttering eyes. He was first greeted with the sound of birds chirping and singing as a cool breeze rung the many wind chimes L had around the island. This was more than just peaceful Lomoli thought to himself. A few days on this island could easily show anyone that Gaeta wasn't exactly lazy. He was simply perpetually relaxed. This island seemed as though it could do that to even the most busiest of bodies. Getting up from the bed, Lomoli dressed himself, then perfomed his morning duties. Many toothbrushes lay in the cabana's bathroom drawer. Only one of them were his. After leaving the room, he proceeded around the sandy beach in search of either Sakura, L or his girlfriend Aeon.

Vincent woke up as he stretched and yawned. He had to admit the mountain air was refreshing and not waking up to the stench of Thomas made the kid happy. He sniffed himself, he would have to shower now but first he'd have to find some clothing. He looked around and found something that looked straight out of a japanese anime. Walking to the bathroom, Vincent looked at his face and his hair and tried to wet his hair. Climbing into the shower, Vincent let the warm water hit his skin as he relaxed. He was happy that Amara was here, maybe it was a school boy crush or maybe because she had been a mother figure to him.
When he had finished he dried off as he looked at the clothing. Inhaling he decided to put on the traditional outfit. He had to admit the hat was kind of cool. He soon smelled the smell of food being prepared but he wanted to train himself. He found a garden/courtyard outside as he found several planks of wood. "I have to figure out how to crystalize and do that other thing I did" he said referring to the multiple combustions he was able to do at once.Elle heard the knocking on her door as she walked to it and saw her sister, she had made her a sandwich. "Thanks Erin" she had replied simply. She knew there was a strain in their relationship and she could sense it from her sister. "I'm sorry how I have been acting...it's just...." she said trailing. "It's just this mutation...Erin, I'm scared and what if I become a machine...unable to feel emotion...." she asked her sister.Jeannie had awoken from her room as she began to get things in order for the day. Perhaps Amaya, her and Itachi could all train or go to the lake that rested outside of the house. She showered and then toweled off as she put on a cute little outfit and began to brush her blonde hair. She was thinking about Lucien and how she missed him. She then went towards the kitchen as she began to cook pancakes, bacon, eggs, sausage and biscuits for her guest. She then made some homemade orange juice.

When Che placed his arm over her shoulder, it did indeed jar Kate from her thoughts. A tiny frown appeared on her lips. She was a little annoyed by the fact that Che had decided to use that amount of force behind that small action. That new childish nickname wasn't helping her mood either. She wasn't exactly daydreaming either. However, Kate didn't remove Che' arm from her shoulder. "Please, don't call me 'sport'." she replied flatly. She paused before actually deciding to dignify Che's question with an actual answer. "If you must know, the atmosphere in there was rather... stifling. I don't take kindly to an old woman who thinks I am in any sort of relationship with that thing she gives the name of Thomas either." Kate stated, rolling her eyes at the memory of what Ms. Rutherford had called her when they had arrived the night before.
====
Erin was surprised a little bit when the door actually opened. She blinked, looking at her sister, who thanked her. Erin gave her a slight smile in response to the thanks. "I just thought that you might be hungry." she replied just before Elle started to apologize. Erin shook her head. "It's alright." she answered with a gentle smile. "We've been through a lot recently so we haven't gotten to talk..." But when Elle mentioned the mutation, Erin blinked again. It was unlike Elle to be scared of anything and at first Erin didn't know what to say. But she soon spoke again. "Oh, Elle... I don't think you'll become a machine... You can't..." As soon as she said that last part, Erin felt stupid for saying it because she didn't know what was really happening to her sister with this new mutation from her ability. "But think about it this way. Even if you do become a machine, I'll still love you no matter what because we're sisters. And that's what sisters do." Erin finished with her gentle smile again. Even though she had just told Elle her thoughts on the subject, Erin was also scared. Scared for Elle and even scared for herself. If Elle's mutation had become physical by changing her outward appearance, what's to say the same thing wouldn't happen to Erin as well? Or something similar?

Noel had been up discussing things with her old friends Sebastian and Evelynn. She had enjoyed her rest last night and this was as close to "normal" as she could get. She had noticed that the twins were kind of strained but she hadn't had the time to speak with the girls about it.
Sebastian had been arranging a place on the island for the young OWLs to train at and perhaps teach them some things he had learned over the years. Whether him and his wife would join them, was still a question in the air. He looked into the sky thinking about his two daughters, if they only knew why him and his wife had faked their own deaths, perhaps they could make ammends....
Aeon had picked quite the variety of fruits. Aeon then turned around as she was going back towards the simple house as she saw Moli approach. "So the sleeping LaMoli awakes" she said as she smiled at her boyfriend. "I'm glad you're up sugar, you can help me prepare breakfast" she told him. "It seems that it will consist of fruits but then again, eating healthy is all the rave these days" she told him with a giggle.

Cecilia watched with fascination as Roulin used the warm water from the jacuzzi to heal the massive bruise that went down his side and his ribcage. She'd had plenty of bruises before so she imagined that it was rather painful. Still, she smiled in amusement as her new boyfriend kicked his feet around in the water like a carefree child. He was so complex, but that was one of the reasons that she was attracted to him. He was very much unpredictable. She liked htat about him. She never knew what he was going to say or do next. When he asked for his clothing, she gathered them for him and handed them over while tucking a loose lock of hair that had fallen from her bun behind her pointed right ear. "I mean, it does make a lot of sense, since water is usually used to ease aches and pains and even clean open wounds preventing infection from happening. Well, clean water actually." She moved out of his way so that he could go into the bathroom and get ready. She lightly cuffed him on the back of the head upon hearing him mention not being paid. "Now, now. Think of how good it'll be when you've helped someone in the end. That's payment enough," she said teasingly lightly punching him in the shoulder, before smiling and briefly touching his shoulder affectionately before she walked over towards the bed to make it. Lorna was getting ready in the bathroom when she heard a knock on the door and Soliel's voice. Of course he would need her help with the elevators since they didn't work on their own. "Sure, hold on just a sec," she called from inside the bathroom. She put her brush down, allowing her emerald hair to fall to the middle of her back in layered tresses. She then walked out of the bathroom to greet Soliel who looked very good in his dark red silk shirt and burgundy slacks. Of course, she thought he looked much better without a shirt on and was sure that before the day was over, he would lose it. But now was not the time to think about that. "Right then, time to go bug Raven," she said in a light carefree tone as she walked out of the room, waiting for Soliel before she closed the door behind her and walked towards the elevators. She used her abilities to open the doors and stepped inside, waiting for Soliel before she began to bring the elevator down. "I imagine you'll want to talk to her alone, so I'll just wait somewhere while you do," she said as the elevator finally reached its destination and the doors opened once again allowing the two of them to walk out. Bailey spent most of the night awake, unable to sleep. It wasn't that she was scared of the house that she was in, but so many thoughts ran through her mind, making it impossible for her to get the rest that she needed. Half of the night was spent worrying about her comrades, especially Luca and Daryle despite the fact that Daryle often got on her last nerve. She grieved for Armand whose life had been lost, finally shedding the tears that she had struggled so much to hide in front of the others. When she finally fell asleep, it was around five-thirty in the morning. The next afternoon, she awoke at around two o'clock. She wasn't exactly hungry, so food was the last thing on her mind. After searching through the closet and finding nothing that would fit her, she was resigned to the fact that she would have to go around in the same clothes until she found something else. Instead, she made herself as presentable as possible before leaving the room and heading down the rather long corridor in search of someone else who was surely awake.

Elle smiled at her sister. This was the first time she could remember that the roles had been reveresed, she was normally the thinker out of the two, being more logical and comforting Erin. "Thank You Erin" she told her sister. She began to take off her clothing as she revealed all of the cybernetic parts across her body. "Again, I'm sorry for being so distant...I just had to take time to think for myself...but now I'm back" she said smiling to her sister.
Elle had found some clothing and put it on. Looking at the sandwich she began to consume it and looked at her sister. "Thanks Erin. I have a question...what do you think of Jaylin? she asked her sister. She hadn't asked her sister and of course she wanted her approval from her. Soon they would meet up with the others and discuss the next plans of action.

L stood knee deep in water allowing the waves to crash against his skin and soak the edges of his shorts. Times to relax were becoming few and far between. "A shame to return to all that mess...I rather missed these waves." Sighing the light man turned back to cabana and his guests. He strolled up to the small house catching the sounds of Aeon's giggleing. "Good to see you two up an moving. Eat quickly though there are things to do....unfortuantley. " L lingered at the door for a moment looking between the two before smiling. He walked back out to his beach chair and plopped down. The island had always been built for two.

"Heh. Kate my friend," Che said before redirecting Kate's stern gaze by placing his index finger beneath the annoyed girl's chin, "I'll stop calling you sport when you stop getting angry like a kid. Now, buck up alright? We all know Thomas doesn't like you and that you don't like Thomas. As for being in that house, yeah, I'm with you on that. It reminds me of things I really don't want to be reminded of right now. Seriously. I've got too much on my mind as it is. Like how I'm going to keep you from getting my soul early...or ever." He only hoped that it would register with her that he was trying to cheer her up. A flash of some positive emotion would be drawn from the girl even if Che had to die to bring it out of her. Nudging her with his elbow, he winked, then started toward Thomas who was still shirtlessly tilling his hundreth line of crop. <******** Jed Clampett, I swear...Thomas! We need to talk! And for God's sake, put a shirt on before you give your old friend Ruddy a heart-attack!"
~~~
"Yes, yes, I am awake. Finally manage to wake up in the morning...feels so good." Lomoli, still dressed in golden satin pants and a white and gold robe, stopped when he noticed Aeon coming back towards the cabana. When she walked by, he placed his hands at her side and followed behind her matching her switch as they proceeded. "I think this carnivore can eat a fruits for a while. What do you need me to do lovely? I'm not much a cook like my brother and father. I can grill though...just not fruits."
~~~
When Cecilia mentioned that clean water was the best to clean wounds and prevent infection, Roulin froze with concern. This was a hotel jacuzzi placed in the center of what seemed to be once a porno set. Who knew what was crawling in that jacuzzi. "Damn it," the healer cursed voicelessly. He pulled the water from his body and with slight pain, it exited. The water was now a dark brown color. That only implied that as of recently, Roulin has been taking a beating. A severe one. Dropping it back into the warm water at his feet, he arose and paid it no mind. Rubbing his shoulder, he jokingly replied to the warmhearted Cecilia, "Ow...that sorta hurt you know? Don't waste your fighting strength on me please and thank you. Now, I don't mean to sound like my father, but....no money means we have to live in this place. I like the heart-shaped bed, but this is still a hotel. America's dog house." Roulin paused, then glanced over to Cerbs as he received his clothes before exiting to the bathroom.
"Besides, you don't deserve this and neither does Demmy there. You two deserve better than what I can give. That's why I want money. It'll help us. Trust me my dear." After sliding into a pair of dark brown pants, Roulin buttoned up a soft yellow shirt. After exiting the bathroom, he knotted a grey, white and red tie before buttoning up over that a mahoghany vest. The coat, which was atop the closet door, he placed on his shoulders keeping his arms from the sleeves. His shoes, which were the same color as his vest, had golden buckles atop them. "Well, I think I look alright. Although most of the fights I get into, I lose my suit anyway...oh well. As long as there are clothes in these drawers, I think I can manage. Now, we just have to wait for Demios I suppose. Heavy sleeper y'know?"

Now at the monestary Lucien sat his back pressed against the alter which was made to which ever deity they had happened to worship. He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. The mountain air was cool, he had unbuttoned his long black coat and was trying to relax. It was a little unconventional, and the settigns were far from what he was use to, he a boy who was raised in America for the first part of his life, then Europe was only use to Western style of living but he knew he could adapt.
He slowly let his body fall to the side untiil he was laying on the floor. He starred at the wall that happened to be infront of him. "What was it all for?" He asked himself. It was in these rare moments of self honesty that he found his mind thinking on topics that he tried to put off, such as his past and more philosophical moments. "Life.....Death, they're both so meaningless, so unintentionally cruel in their acting." he whispered to himself. In his solitude he could see the memorical ghosts of those from his past, memories played before his eyes as if they were really happening. He remembered that day, the day their elementary school was attacked by the UNS and how four members of the Night Owls saved a few of them. "Breach....Anvil?" He whispered softly, those were two of the names of the owls that saved them, he remembered that the others, their leader and a subordinate were killed by Che.
Skipping ahead he remembered that day at the White House, where their first real mission had occured, he remembered Roulin slashing open a telekinetic's head and began the cycle of Lucien's power reign, it was there infront of the president and his cabinet that Lucien began to discover the reality behind his powers, and the potential they held. He saw himself and Roulin in that field, the one near the UNS headquaters building. It was there he and Roulin fought during the Eclipse, it was there that he beat his friend down with a bat and then proceeded to killing his father and mother in an act of treacherous betrayal. "So many lives."
The ghostly faces of those he had killed began to whirl around his vision, Giovanni, the ten people he killed in Russia, Neo, Che, Felicia, and all the others who he had killed. "What was it all for? For Power? For status? For wealth? No...that wasn't it, what I wanted was change, progress, I was...I was blind." He whispered again, his voice barely audible even to him. "I've been having such wierd thoughts lately." He felt a small tired smile crawl onto his face. He closed his eyes for a moment, he just wanted to turn from the world, to let it all go and give in. "Death is so easy....Living is very very hard. So...Why..." He trailed off, he opened his eyes to see the phantom shape of his former teacher Dante standing just a few feet away.
"Is this the student I trained?" The Phantom said through the ethereal light that his body gave off. "W-What?" Lucien said as he sat up with wide eyed suprise. "Where is the tenacious boy filled with dreams of changing the world? Has he gone down a path like Thomas?" Dante said as he folded his arms and smiled. "What? No, I...I mean." Lucien was at a loss for words at this time. "I trained and raised the best, you were no exception. All of you you've all made me very proud, but what you're doing, this sulking in the dark recesses of a forgotten church is slandering everythign I ever taught you. Soiling it, rotting it from the inside out." Dante's right leg and left arm began to start to fizzle with negation, it was how he had died, how Thomas had managed to gain a single window of doubt in Dante. "But Dante I-" "Stop. Just stop, stop to enjoy the world you're trying to change, there's nothing wrong with progress but to lose yourself to that progress would be to lose everything that you've achieved. You've never been a man to give up, don't you start now. Stand up and stare forward at what it is you are trying to do." The phantom Dante's continued to erode and decay until he was just a head and upper torso. "Shatter the chains of the past that bind you. Or be lost forever unable to see what you have infront of you." The negation ceased, replacing the ooze was a gentle light which radiated somewhere from behind Dante. A smiled spread across the fatherly Dante's face. "I started a family, and look where they are now, strong mighty Owls that have grown to surpass even my expectations. Lucien you will do the same some day." With that Dante's ghostly body disappeared into a spray of crimson light.
Lucien's eyes shot open as he shot up from his laying down position. "Dante?!" he called as he looked around him. "A-A dream?" He asked as he looked down at his hands. he chuckled a little to himself. "Since when do I dream?" Dante's words echoed in his mind, "Someday...I'll start a family to? Which kind though? A family like the one he had with his wife and children....Or the family he made by adopting all of us?"

Aeon looked at Moli with a smile. Then L had said they would be working so she looked at Moli and sighed. "Well dear, it seems that this will be rushed, so I'll handle it" she said. As they were now in the Cabana she began to peel and cut up as much fruit as she she could as she mixed and washed them off. Placing them into several three bowls, she gave one to Moli, held one for her and the other was for L. As they proceeded back outside she looked at L. "Here you go L, thanks so much for letting us use this place, it's like a little piece of Heaven" she said as she began to eat her fruit. Looking at Moli she smiled at him. "I hope you enjoy the fruit, it's sweet and tangy" she told him with a smile.
Amara had finally finished cooking. It was some rice, veggies, fruits and some orange juice. She had made a bowl for Lucien as she carried it to Lucien. She saw him get up and question himself. "Goodmorning sleepy head, I made breakfast for you. Vincent's outside training. I hope you like this, this was all I could cook up with the materials here" she told him with a smile.
She placed the trey by Lucien and sat near him. She wasn't sure what was going on with Lucien but he was probably struggling with demons just like she was with her own. "Last night was amazing by the way" she said with a smile as she awaited to hear what he had to say and for him to finish his meal.

Cecilia hadn't meant to imply that Roulin would gain an infection from the water in the jacuzzi, but he seemed to take it that way. The cerulean girl smiled apologetically at him before that smile changed into a smirk. "Oh you're just asking for it," she said teasingly, playfully ruffling the purple eyed owl's hair before she showed really no discomfort at having to stay in this hotel room for longer. "Trust me, this is actually a luxury compared to some of the places I've had to stay in the past. Before I joined up with you, I was sleeping in alleyways, abandoned warehouses, in the woods, you name it. There was rarely a time when I had a roof over my head. So I'm pretty used to roughing it." Still, she smiled at the fact that he wanted to give all of them a comfortable place to stay. Cecilia waited patiently while Roulin got ready in the bathroom, when he came back out, her lips curled into a smile and she nodded in approval before moving forward to straighten his tie. Her cheeks tinged pink at the thought of Roulin losing his suit, but she took a deep breath to regain her composure. After all, there was a heavily sleeping Owl who could wake up at any moment and a three-headed dog who was just a pain in the a** in general. "Tell you what, if you end up losing this suit, I'll make it up to you and buy you a new one whenever I get the chance and the money," she said sincerely before glancing over at Demios. "Poor guy had to endure Cerbs all night most likely," she said with some amusement. She looked at the clock by the bedside, then turned back to Roulin. "When do you suppose Nik'll be here? I'm surprised he hasn't already busted the door down or scared the s**t out of us with that damn shadow thing he does."
