Liam smiled and began walking back into the room...luring...luring...
Come and get the jacket...come oooon...
He felt like he was dealing with some kind of...no. Stop thinking, damnit.
"Uh..." Rabid scratched the back of her head and screwed up her face, feeling uncomfortable in her messy clothes, messy house, messy everything, "Yeah, I'm okay...yah wanno come in?" She really didn't like the idea of company, but she wasn't the only one that seemed to be suffering her self-administered punishment.
Ike perked up at the sound of Reid's sneeze, immediately recognizing the tone of his voice. He looked up quickly and folded his ears back. Reid looked as bad as Mummy...

Chao's smile fell slightly at Rabid's tone. It didn't sound like she really wanted compan-where the hell was Liam going with her jacket?! Holding it for ransom?
Making an avid attempt to look as if she didn't want to fling her shoe at Liam Chao smiled and stepped in, "sure."
Reid looked up and smiled at Ms. Morbid, "'lo Ms. Mor'b, where Ike?" he looked around and grinned at the sight of his friend, though his glow was quite muted compared to its normal reaction at seeing his friend, "Ike!"

Liam snickered and moved over to the kitchen area.
"Well, since Chao's staying for a bit..." he smirked and dropped her jacket on the table before pulling out a chair and straddling the back.
"Over on my bed," Rabid smiled and motioned for Chao to take a seat anywhere clean, "How've you been? It's been...days..."
Ike yawned widely and motioned for Reid to join him. Poor kid looked sick...or something. He, himself, had been up for the last couple of days straight, keeping a close eye on this...Liam person.

Reid quickly launched off before his mother could escort him over to where Ike was. The glide was interupted by another fierce sneeze, and on instict the fireflies' wings curled back to his back and he fell out of the air and, thankfully, onto the bed.
Giving his head a shake he crawled the last few feet to his friend, noting Ike's tired state, "Ike ki?"
Chao grimaced at Reid's even less graceful than usual landing, grabbing another of the avaible seats she sat down and placed her chin on her hands, "I've been fine. Same old routein and such. How've you been?"

Ike smiled slightly nad nodded, yawning again.
"Yuh. Ike 'kay. Just tired. Ike been watchin' Leem for all nights."
Liam shot a look toward the fuzzy boy. So that's what he'd been doing...
"Uh...fine, fine," Rabid lied, but smiled, "My throat hurts after the stunt Liam pulled last night. You told him to, didn't you?" She screwed up her face and rubbed her neck, as if it would help.
Liam, snapped back to reality upon hearing his name, laughed nervously and leaned forward in his chair. He nearly toppled over, though, and hand to grab the table for support.

Reid tilted his head, looking up to Li-man then back to his friend, "why Ike watch Li-man?"
"Stunt?" Chao echoed, watching as Liam nearly fell out of his chair with a slightly satisfied look. Karma at work! Take that jacket ransom-holder!
Reaching out she snagged said jacket quickly, tucking it haphazardly over her lap.
Turning back to Rabid her expression shifted back to curious, "what stunt did he pull? I haven't talked to either of you until today."

Rabid glared over at Liam, still rubbing her throat. Chao's wording seemed quite strange. 'Either of you'? 'Today'? Eh...
"Well, yeh see," Liam began to explain, vaguely proud of himself, "Rabid, 'ere, 'has no gag reflex. Just...shoved my 'and down 'er throat, and she bit. Aheh." He lifted his shirt sleeve to show Chao 2 scars that had quite obviously once been bite marks.
"Worst moment of my life," Rabid said before tinking, "Or best, depending on how you look at it." She shuddered to think. 'Magic blood' had a strange effect on Vampires, it did...
"Ike nu trust Leem. Mite be ebil like Jul-yin were," he whispered. Mummy didn't like hearing Julian's name...

"Oooohhh," Chao murmured in understanding, giving a small shudder, not at the thought of Rabid drinking, the woman was a part vampire, but rather at the idea of a hand going down a throat.
"Thank gods for no gag reflex then," she turned to Rabid and quirked an eyebrow, throwing the thought of further beating around the bush out the window, "is that why you've gotten some color back?" was she still starving herself?
"Li-man good," Reid stated confidently, "no ebil."

"Yeah," Rabid laughed, but stopped abruptly, "Yeah...that's the colour." She grimaced at the thought of her near-perfect punishment. She made a mental note to not repond the next time Liam randomly called her name.
Liam rolled his eyes and shook his head. Rabid had refused to explain why she wasn't eating, and that certainly didn't make matters any better. His blood probably wasn't the best thing to put in her, being technically poisonous to Humanoid bodies and all, but she was hal--oh, bloody effing Hell...
"Chao? D'ye still have yer stabbity knife?"
"Kay. Ike trust Reid," Ike yawned and curled up again, closing his eyes momentarily. He still wasn't sure about Liam, even if Reid liked him.

Reid smiled slightly and made a strange noise between a yawn and a sniffle. Lying on his side but not quite going to sleep, he felt too sniffly to go to sleep, he contented himself to just looking around the room.
Chao tilted her head, "so does that mean you're digesting properly but are refusing to eat because of some other reason?"
Eyes flicking to Liam she blinked, "erm, yes? What of it?"

Ike subconsciously flopped an arm around Reid and snuggled close. He wasn't quite sure where Skelly was, and he was a bit too tired to go looking. His tail twitched and spasmed, flying over Reid's legs.
Rabid opened her mouth to reply, and was quite relieved at the sudden subject change. She didn't want to explain anything to anyone. They didn't have to know. They'd just worry and tell her it was wrong, she knew.
"Give it up...now," Liam warned and held his hand out, "It's been poisoning ye ever-so-slowly every bloody time it comes within a foot of ye." Damn his bad memory. Damn it to Hell!

Reid blinked as he was suddenly plushieified, a warm blanket of body heat coating him and Ike's form obscuring his view of the room. He yawned again and snuggled up against Ike's fluff, not willing to distrub his friend but not quite asleep either.
Chao started at that news. She couldn't say she'd been feeling off, well, no moe off than going back to school after a vacation would warrent, but Liam's tone had left little room for doubt. She quickly kicked off the boot she'd been wearing and, taking out the knife and sheathe, she placed it in Liam's hand.
"What happened to it?" she asked after she'd backed away a few feet.

Ike's tail twitched once more, and he opened one eye. Seeing no protest from his friend, he smiled and sighed, trying to fall back to sleep. He was so horribly tired, his eyes hurt badly...so badly, they almost prevented him from sleeping. What a vicious circle it was!
"Ectoplasmic, undead blood is very bad for you meatpuppets," Liam said seriously as he took the knife, "I wasn't quite alive when I used it on myself. Look." He waved his hand over the blade, causing translucent blue liquid to rise from within it and solidify on the surface, "That, there, is Liam goo. You don't mind if I keep it for a while? You know, clean it properly and whatnot." Oh, yay...more stabbity pain, self-inflicted for the sole purpose of helping another. Why did his morals have to be one of the things that stayed with him through it all?

Reid's wings gave a slight twitch, the only sign except a muted sneeze that the other toddler was still awake.
"Oh, Liam goo, lovely," Chao made a slight face, that just brought back loverly childhood memories, didn't it?
At Liam's request she blinked and shrugged, "if it's too much work don't bother, s'just a knife," a knife she wasn't particularily clingy too either. The only thing she was possessive of that she kept with her was her jacket and she had that back with her, keeping her legs all nice and warm....

"Well, I don't want it poisoning anyone. Wouldn't want anyone else to go by my hands...err...goo."
"Thanks." Oh, the irony...
"Yeah. Any time," Liam said, and turned his eyes to Chao, staring directly into her forehead.
Satisfied?
He cringed in pain. Telepathy wasn't his forte. It was like a telegram. You paid per letter.
