Shadow pulled off his gloves and started to wrap a burn covered hand in ointment and bandages. "You look just as tired as I am." He said, looking up at her, "Are you all right, Mrs. Uehara?"

As he had tried to achieve, a falcetto of a smile graced Ellie's lips. "I am indeed tired. One cannot bare to sleep when her husband is out almost-getting-killed all of the time." said she, hands on her hips in an authoritative way. Dropping her hands loosely to her sides once again, she shook her head. "Just couldn't sleep well.."

Shadow paused, still keeping his eyes on his hand. After a long pause he said, "He hates being called away all the time." He said before continuing to wrap his hand. He flexed his fingers a little and set his hand on the counter as he went to tend to more wounds on his shoulders and chest. "It would break his heart to see you like this... Worried about him."

"Not nearly as much as his wife's heart would crumble apart, seeing him tend to important matters, and the wounds that followed after.. To see how distant he became after everyday of perilous fighting, and heroic duties. How tired he was when he was home, or how much he .. How much he tried to impress her when he thought that he could fix it all with one dinner!" Ellie's voice could not help but crescendo the farther she had gone into her honest complaints. With her last word, she slammed her hand down onto the bar, and 'marched' away with strong feet, and out the front door into the muggy warmth of the late evening. Walking away was how she had decided to end her rants before they turned personal, and cruel. It hadn't gotten too bad, and perhaps it better to end now rather than later.

Shadow finished off another bandage and sighed, "'You'll always be my hero, Baizou,' that is until you get called out at the wrong time." he muttered quietly as he ripped his mask off. "Least you could do is decide if you approve or disapprove." He continued as he threw it on the floor and perked his ears up. His hair faded back to red.

Ellie managed to quickly hop up into a tree, and wipe at her teary eyes. 'Of course I cannot tell him that I hate him being a superhero. He wants me to approve, so I do.' she thought, looking out through the branches at the muffin. "Do not make this about you. It is about us, Baizou. Shadow. Whoever you decide to be today." Ellie could not help but think that Shadow was just a metaphor of the ravine that was being created between them slowly, distancing them.

Baizou peeled his suit off, having started wearing a thin outfit underneath so he could undress at any time. It was just a pair of shorts and a muscle shirt, but it was decent enough. He crumpled it in a ball and just tossed it in a corner as he fixed two cups of tea. Calmly, he carried both of them outside and looked around. He spotted Ellie in the tree and stepped forward, standing at the base. "Tea?" He called up, holding one mug up to her level. "I promise it is not poisoned or anything."

Her slender hand reached down to take hold of her cup, and brought it up to her lap. Of course he would bring her something. It was not him to apologize! But he would anyways. When would he just get with the program and act like a normal person. Ellie was sure that with the right word choice, she could walk all over any of Baizou's decisions.. But she did not want to! Letting her feet dangle, she sipped at the cup, and looked out to the orange tinted sky.

His aching muscles begged him to fly, but he knew it would be more than a little tactless. He handed Ellie his mug as well and began to climb, careful not to injure his bum hand on the way up. He sat down beside her and took his tea back before taking a large breath. "You are right." He said once he was situated. "I am tired of getting hurt all the time. I am tired of being out all night. I am tired of seeing strangers more than I see you. I should have stopped the night Ricc..." He hesitated, deciding not to finish his sentence. "But... I did not." He looked down at his bandaged hand, "These wounds... They are nothing compared to the pain I see in your eyes every day." He looked up at her, "I know it is not nearly enough to heal that pain, but... I am sorry. You have no idea. If I could have anything in the world, it would be the time I stole from you."

"Baizou," started Ellie with a large in take of air. "I spend more time when you are gone thinking of all the things that could go wrong. I count every second that you have not returned. And when you do get back, you are wore out. The time I do get to spend with you is when you are exhausted, or trying almost too hard to make me feel better about it all.." she explained, still absorbing what he had said. "And I also think about when you are gone, if I will be protected... I feel alone when you are not around. I dont' even know hwere you go! And, what if ther were more guests at the Muffin like.. him." Ellie finishe,d fading off a little as she did.

"I know, I know." Baizou agreed, hanging his head a little. "You will always be first in my heart, Elisan. I love you... And I will always love you. Even..." He bit is lower lip, having to swallow a lump in his throat at the though, "Even if there was a day when you stopped loving me." He swung his legs a bit and took a sip. "I completely understand if you do not accept my apology. I would not... But the next time Shadow is called out will be his last time. He is going to die."

"Are you meaning the alias of Shadow, or.. " Ellie looked up a little, but again looked away, sipping at her cup. "Is something going on...?" she finished, and sighed. " I cannot stop loving you. That's all. "

Baizou smiled a little, "I will be fine." He said, pulling his knees up to his chin. "One of my powers is that I can make decoys of myself. They are quite obviously that up close, but they are the perfect tool for faking one's own death." He looked into her eyes, smile never breaking. "After that, I will find a way to seal away these powers and Shadow will live only in newspapers and stories."

Ellie made a magical 'disc' to serve as a table between them, and set her mug on it. She wrapped her arms around him, and just smiled. "You do too much for me sometimes, you know? ... I love you for it, though."

"Nooo! I am a horrible nasty awful man!" Baizou protested, ears limp as he leaned into her and set his mug down. He sighed and kissed her neck, "But I love you, too..." He swung his tail up and hung it over the section of branch next to her as he pulled a piece of paper from his pocket. "Tomo gave this to me yesterday. Did you want to go?" He asked, handing it to her. It was a flyer for a couples' dance on Friday. Of course, Tomo, being the twisted little boy he was, made it a 'Gender-Bender Dance' in which the men wore dresses and the women wore tuxedos.
