((Should we move to the Durem thread and Quinny can just drag Mirror along, or do you think we should wait for Storei?))
"Alright. Its settled then. And Akiya, if you could let Eilonwy know that we went to Durem... I told her I'd stay close and I'd hate for her to worry." She thought a moment, "Maybe I should send her N'rris... in case she needs me quickly..." she trailed off at the end and was obviously talking more to herself that to the angel.
With a renewed sense of purpose, she made her way through the casino and out into the rain, bee lining for Therin before making her way to Durem.

((I dunno I think it'll be good to bring Mirror along to Durem and then maybe wait to see if Storei shows up...))
"Will do then. I'll deliever your message... but if they don't wish to come, then I won't force them either." Inclining his head and wishing them a safe journey, he headed out himself, his wings flaring back into being and taking flight. Good, maybe he could get something to drink along the way.. or spy Koniryu or Reika...
He had so many things he needed to do.. but he couldn't go to the Druid's Grove so that ruled out one thing he couldn't do. Muttering to himself, he flew as best he could through the rain and hard winds back to the tavern. He'd so need to soak in steaming hot water after this...

Speaking of Koniryu, he was still fast asleep within Hayaharu's residence as the Geisha rose to tend to herself. First she took a quick bath and then with a brief drum of her fingers upon the maid's door she summoned the girl to her quarters - granted they could not achieve the same spectacular style that she had previously worn but they could at least present an 'up-do' to the public.
It was therefore no surprise that as the curtains were open, she bound her hair back before placing cloth around the fringe and proceeded to apply her make-up before she even considered her hair. It seemed that at the moment Chu was too drowsy to otherwise cause mischeif and thus she did as she was told until at last the make-up was done (within a matter of minutes).
Following the make up the cloth around her fringe was released and under her direction, Chu began to bend and twist the lucious locks of black hair into shape...

The deity was still rather passed out on the bed presented to him, his hair splayed a bit over his face, though it shifted as he breathed. Maybe he had been a lot more tired than he thought if he slept in longer than Reika, who had already proven herself to be a rather heavy sleeper at times. The small Elysian yawned cutely, Yue kupoing in his sleep before he promptly rolled off her bed, which jolted him awake, making her crawl to the edge to look down at him. "Are ye all right?"
"Ku-u-u-po..." Was the faint reply to that.
And so, Reika got down and helped her friend up, cuddling him as best she could to soothe him. "Awww, me poor Yue hurt himself!" Kissing his forehead, she made him feel better before she noticed that Koni was still out like a light. "Well... this is most definately wrong..." Koni never slept in this late! Ever! Something had to be definately wrong with him! Was he sick?! Fretting and worrying, she set Yue down before she climbed up to the slide and slid down. Oomphing as she landed, she hurried over to the bed from the nightstand and jumped, terribly afraid but doing it anyway. Almost falling because trying to find balance on a bed was hard, she hopped.. well, she had no choice there... over to Koni and tapped him on the nose. "Koni-papa?!"
The deity only snorted faintly but didn't wake up. This made Reika worry even more so she climbed up over him as best she could to get to his ears. Though she wouldn't like this too much she had to get him up. Taking a deep breath, she screamed as loud as she could. "WAKE UP!!!"
The Elysian was sent flying onto the next pillow as Koni jolted to his feet, his hearing rather sensitive and that was enough. "What?!" His ears flicked back and forth before he looked around. "What... time is it?" Hearing Reika trying to get up, he looked over at her. "Why are ye over there? Are ye all right?" He carefully scooped her up in his bare hand, stroking the top of her head.
"Ye need to sleep better, Koni-papa. It's way late in the day, i think.. and ye were still sleeping!"
The deer blinked slowly at her before he shook his head. That wasn't good at all. Thanking her for awakening him, he set her down so he could get out of bed and straighten himself up as best as he could, fashioning three long locks into braids just below his right ear.

The shriek was enough to cause even Hayaharu to glance up midway between slipping the pearl earrings into her ears. Her lips pursed briefly and after a few moments and the occasional tug of her hair she became aware that Chu had finished the style which (although not ornate) sat rather well atop her head and even held her ornaments with sufficient grace - she made a mental note to commend Chu on that talent, she may not have been Geisha material but there was a chance of a hairdresser.
"Very good." She murmured to Chu as she slipped into her kimono and tied a small silk rope around her waist to hold it in place, there was then the revelation that they had encountered a slight issue...the Obisash which needed to be bound around her waist was nearly the entirely length of the room and would require a strong hand as opposed to that of a maids when it came to placing it around the Geisha's waist.
"Ah." Chu voiced the Geisha's thoughts and flicked her tired eyes up to the woman who was admiring herself in the mirror. It seemed she was also stuck in deep thought and then at last she seemed to come to some form of conclusion as she motioned to the rolled up Obi Sash.
"Pick it up." She instructed and the maid obeyed, politely following after the Geisha as she left the room and approached Koniryu - he was the tallest person in this house with the exception of herself and thus he was perhaps one of the only ones capable of tying her Obi Sash for her - she would just have to give him continuous instruction.
"Koniryu-san?" She enquired as she knocked gently on the door, "Might I ask for some assistance?"

Motioning Mirror to take a seat behind her on the massive Aziraphale, Quinn waited for Odilen to gather her chocobo before setting off for Durem, doing her best to lead Therin under trees and overhangs to keep them as dry as possible.

His head was ringing still from Reika's shout, shaking his head a bit before he made sure that Reika was all straightened. He would have to ask Sah if he had finished making her wardrobe when they got home. Akiya's mate was way too eager to spend all his time making the tiny clothing for her... and Koni had been too tired to argue the issue. "did ye sleep well?"
"Aye!" Giggling, she bounced a bit on his hand before he deemed her decent and set her back on the nightstand so she could do her normal morning stretches. Then she'd dance for awhile, as was her custom. The knock caused all three of them to look over at the door but he made sure his robe was secure even as he went to the door, leaving the rest of his hair, which had grown quite a bit since he had arrived in Gaia, down. "Assistance? I have no problem with helping ye out..." was spoken after he had opened the door to let them in. "To what do ye need my help..." He was looking her over and then noticed she was without her obi and stopped mid-sentence. "Ah, ye need help with yer obi, aye?"
Oddly, he had been made to help Sah, Jiro and a few others who work kimonos back home in fastening them. He was still learning and could use some more instruction, but he was familiar with them.

Ai-yah! A smile flashed up onto her painted lips as she took the Obi sash from Chu and dismissed the maid (who already had plans to excuse herself in order to make breakfast anyway). Before she had even requested his aid he had granted it and she was most impressed by it, even even seemed to be slightly more pleasant in the morning.
"Yes please. I will give you instruction on how it is to be bound but the aid is dearly needed." She gave a slightly bow before catching a glimpse of Yue and Starlet who seemed to be otherwise perky which was a sharp comparison to her drowsy maid who was now banging and clattering about down stairs with pots and pans.
"I would like the sash to take the form of a butterfly," She explained as she stepped into the room so that she would have more space for him to move about in, "But unlike a male Obi it needs to start from the waist and the final bow arch has to reach my shoulders, if that makes sense." She smiled a little more as she motioned to the gold Obi in her hands, it complimented her now green kimono and the gold ivy stitching upon it rather well...
"Thank you in advance."

He always felt better when he got a good amount of sleep and it was even ebtter to ask him things when he first woke up, because he was always in a better mood for a few hours... and then his typical behavior would settle in. Usually after he was allowed to eat something. Akiya had found this out through some trial and error.. though denying Koni food for too long was always a bad idea. Scratching at his ear as she smiled and wondering why she seemed happy when he saw no problem in helping her, he watched the imp of a maid scatter off to cook... hopefully she would this time.. and he took the long length of fabric from her.
"Yer welcome... tis not something that's a problem for me..." As she continued to give him instruction, since he had seen the shape she was speaking off once and had been amazed that it could have been done, he took special care with what he was told and made the form that she wanted. When he felt he was done, he straightened and looked it over, fixing a few things that he felt were out of place. "Is this correct? Tis not too tight for ye, is it?" He had made sure to ask if it was secure enough for her a couple of times but it never hurt, in his book, to ask again really.
"Oooh ye look so beautiful, Lady Hayaharu!!" Reika's eyes were shining as she watched everything that was happening while she continued to do her stretches. She was such a morning person... sometimes.

"I've actually endured tighter." Hayaharu explained softly as she drew away from him and took a few moments to admire herself in the mirror, granted he was not a professional but he had done a spectacular job of it and she smiled at even greater lengths as she gave a nod and glanced briefly at the rather agile Elysian upon the bed.
"Many thanks Lady Reika, I do what I can." The Geisha responded as she straightened her robe very briefly and then gave a bow before making her way out of the room and towards the stairwell, "Breakfast will be served shortly." She assured and then she descended, the quiet patter of her feet on the stairs dulling as she reached the bottom and entered the lounge where she proceeded to make herself comfortable.
Well, comfortable was the manner in which she sat - her mind was in mental turmoil as today she had given herself a task.
...She was going to learn how the television worked.

Watching her admire herself, he looked her over. It was amazing, the things women did to their hair. Though he doubted he'd ever understand why someone would wish to do such things, he was amazed and sometimes awed by it all. He could tell Reika was tickled to be called a lady, due to how she bowed as best she could before bouncing in excitement. Sometimes, she was really lady like.. other times... he just shook his head a bit.
"Thank ye. We'll be down shortly." He held the door open for her as she passed through and then shut it again, going over and sitting back onto the bed while Reika and Yue went into a few spins and wiggles. Yawning like he hadn't been able to before, he stretched and popped a few kinks in his back before he set about tugging and pulling his own hair into a ponytail. Might as well keep it neat.. and out of his face for once. His eyes looked over towards the window and he sighed. Still raining... how annoying. He wondered what Akiya was up to and he hoped he was all right. Maybe, if Hayaharu felt up to talking today, he would have some information to share with him.
"Koni-papa? Do you think Lady hayaharu will tell us about her city today?" She couldn't help being really curious as she was picked up and set onto Koni's shoulders as they too left the room and headed down tot he room they had been in before. She wanted to learn everything she could.. maybe fit the fragmented pieces of her dream, which she had had again that night, together properly.
"I cannot say, wee one.. we'll hafta wait and see."

The geisha stared quizzically at the television, her nose mere inches from the screen as she attempted to figure out where the 'on' button was. There were so many nobs andswitches that she was afraid to touch any of them for fear of breaking it but after a few moments she decided to select one and the screen gave a loud 'BUUUUZZZZ' and then flickered on - needless to say she gave a squeal at the loud noise but was soon gawking at the moving images on the tv, it was magic!
"Ai-yee!" She chirped delightly as she clapped her hands together, although she soon became bored of what appeared to be some form of soccer and picked up the 'remote' as the landlord had called it - it was more buttons and she stared faintly at it before giving it a shake to see what it did...so far it hadn't done anything but with that many buttons - which one did she press first?!

Koni paused at the entryway to the room when he saw Hayaharu before a large square box, looking at it in bafflement. What on earth was that thing? Since she seemed in deep concentration so he didn't say anything to announce their arrival. besides, he couldn't help being curious as to what that was.. maybe if he watched, he would learn something about it. When it came on with a rather loud noise, his ears folded in. What an uncomfortable sound! But the thing seemed to have moving pictures now... interesting. Akiya would be utterly fascinated with this thing...
Seeing her settle back with... whatever that was she was holding... he made his way more into the room, clearing his throat as he sat down and placing Reika on the nearest table. "What is that?" He just had to ask. Since she was fiddling with it, she had to know what it was... right?

"I have no idea." Hayaharu confessed as she shook the remote again and offered a smile in greeting to the trio who had entered. The repetitive shaking seemed to be doing nothing but unbeknownst to her she had hit one of the buttons and a horror movie flashed up onto the screen and with it came a girl who's head was turning around in circles.
Well, Hayaharu gave the obvious reaction and released a shriek of horror before falling over the table and into a pile of cushions that soon covered her face.
"It's a DEMON!" She shrieked through the pillows as one fell onto her hand and pushed another button to turn it onto a wild life show, "A demon I tell you!" She continued from beneath the cushions and then gave a shudder as she pushed the pillow out of her face and stared at the screen suspiciously - granted the pandas looked cute but when would the evil thing be back?
"I wonder how I turn this off..." She mused meekly as she eyed the controller again.

He felt a bit unhappy at the fact that she didn't know either, but what else could he do? If she didn't know, she didn't know. Letting Reika skip over to be closer to the tv, he wasn't surprised by Hayaharu's reaction or by the frightened wail Reika gave. he just thought it was weird but he wasn't freaked out by such things thankfully. "Mayhap tis a demon... tis a very odd contraption indeed..."
Reika was now hiding under a small pillow to try to get away from the scary looking pictures on the tv screen, ue trying to comfort his frightened friend as best he could. "Maybe if ye pushed the same button ye pushed to turn it on, it'll shut off?"
