"So people keep telling me," Merida said with a small smile. She turned to face Kasumi and her head tilted to the side slightly when her friend spoke quietly to herself. They only 'he' who had gotten close to any of the demons was Merrick, so Merida assumed that's who Kasumi was talking about. "If you're talking about your son..I am sure he knows, and if he doesn't and Constance is anywhere near him, she'll know." She walked over to her friend, grasping her hand. "I have the bath ready for you. While you clean yourself up I think I will grab something to eat. Call me if you need anything."~~~~ Constance nodded her head as the door shut behind Merrick. She set the things she had taken from him down and turned to face him. "Now, before we get to this delicious dessert let's take a look at that wound of yours, hmm?" She smiled gently at him. She had always been able to detect the faint scent of blood when somebody was hurt, but now since her mother had used her as a medium the ability was stronger. There was something about Merrick's blood though that made it easier for her to smell. ~~~~ "Thank you, Lorcan." Cassandra said softly as she closed her eyes. Her hand still rested over his. The fatigue took over and soon she was fast asleep, breathing evenly.

Kasumi cocked an eyebrow for a moment before she shrugged, taking a few steps into the room as she tugged the dirty, ripped, and smelly shirt off, uncaring if anyone saw her petit yet muscular body; she had no bra beneath it, however. One thing she had little of, however, was modesty. Her body was still lightly tanned even after nearly twenty years out of the sun. She sighed as she slipped into the bathroom quietly, stripping off the battered and torn jeans off of her hips and legs before she slipped into the hot, soapy water with an appreciative groan of pleasure.
Merrick tilted his head with surprise, blinking. He had only suspected he was hurt from smelling blood. "From what I can tell, it seems that my muscles and bones are denser and stronger; I may have some regenerative powers as well as some elemental ones," he said quietly,his tone thoughtful. It was clear he had some resistance to tranquilizers and likely other drugs as well.
Lorcán tilted his head as she fell asleep. He settled into the chair, finding it fairly comfortable.

Kaosujin Ryu and a Happy New year to you as well Merida shook her head as Kasumi undressed and then walked into the restroom. Her friend had always had very little modesty. She walked out of the room and began to roam the halls. Everyone was back safe and they had Kasumi back. That was a big relief. All they needed to do now was get Rosaline back and then there would be hell to pay. ~~~~~ Constance saw the surprise in Merrick's eyes and she smiled a little. She took the rest of the stuff from him and set it down before making him sit down on the bed. " It's something I have always been able to do. I could always detect the small hint of blood. Now it's a lot easier to smell the blood. I suspect I have my mother to thank for that." She looked into his eyes and grinned. "And for some reason yours is the easiest to smell."

Merrick sighed as he felt his lower body, namely what was between hoods legs, react to her voice alone. Gah...I hope this doesn't end up a regular thing with 'that' he thought add his instincts snarled to mate with Constance. "So it seems we have something in common: enhanced senses;I can smell the items you were baking with still as well as what I assume is your shampoo," he said thoughtfully. He shifted slightly on the bed to hide the bulge between his legs. He could smell the pheromones strongly in the air and assumed that his senses grew somewhat sharper with each tail he gained. He had a feeling why his body was reacting to Constance like it was, but didn't like the idea. It's obvious that one of two things are happening: either something within me has chosen Constance as my mate or my body is in a state of sexual 'heat', he thought.

"It's a blessing, and sometimes a curse," Constance said as she pulled his shirt to look at the wound. It was a shallow cut but blood still seeped from it. "I'll be right back.." She went to the bathroom and grabbed several items. Some peroxide, cotton balls and a bandage. Constance came back and sat behind Merrick on the bed as she opened the bottle of peroxide. "This is going to sting a little..." She put some on a cotton ball and began to gently rub the wound to clean it. Constance kept her mind on the task at hand as she felt something that seemed to pull her towards Merrick. She wanted to lay her hands against his skin...she shook her head, clearing her thoughts. Crazy thoughts despite the fact that they had already admitted they were attracted to each other.

Merrick tilted his head slightly add she pulled his shirt over his head and shoulders before he felt the coolness and slight stinging of the disinfectant. A slight shift of his weight was the only sign he felt anything. He noticed that her skin seemed cooler than usual,though he suspected it was because his body temperature was naturally higher than normal. he said

Constance finished cleaning up the wound before placing the bandage over it. She smiled a little as she moved to sit next to him on the bed. "There we go, good as new." Her hair hung loosely over one shoulder. "So...you got really angry when they took Cassandra. Angrier than anyone else did." Her head tilted slightly to the side.

Merrick exhaled slowly, shifting his weight slightly on the bed. As far as he knew, the person in question didn't know or wasn't fully aware of the connection between them. "I don't know if she knows, and to be honest, I'm not sure if what I'd overheard is true or not... But I heard a couple of the monks mentioning that they'd heard, to quote their words that they heard a former passerby saying 'It seems, Cassandra, that I have no choice and leaving him with you would make you a target, and I won't do that to one of my oldest friends'," he sighed quietly. He didn't even know if he was near the right Cassandra or not, but his instincts said it was. He was sure, given his little revelation, Constance could put the connections together.

Constance's eyes widened a little. "You think that maybe she was meant to be your guardian, your godmother?" That was definitely not something she had suspected. She wondered why Cassandra hadn't said anything when they had arrived with Merrick. Maybe it wasn't her. Maybe it was a different Cassandra. She shook her head a little. "The only way to know for sure would be to ask her or your mother." She rested a hand lightly on his arm, noticing that his skin was so much warmer than her own. A slightly tingling sensation shot up Constance's hand when she touched Merrick. She cleared her throat and spoke softly. "Do you think anyone else knows?"

Merrick shook his head slightly as he concentrated.He was momentarily caught off guard as his senses expanded. He sensed Lorcán with Cassandra and sensed his mother as well; for an instant, he was thankful that his sensory talents didn't include his sight, since his mother's aura seemed very relaxed. "I wouldn't bother them now, since Cassandra seems to be asleep... and NY mother is indisposed at the moment," he said quietly. He inhaled slowly as he felt his lower body jerk subtly. Unconsciously, a low growling purr escaped him.

Constance giggled softly. "Well I didn't mean right now. Everyone has been through a lot recently." When the low growling purr escaped from between Merrick's lips Constance blushed a little and pulled her hand away. She wondered if her touching him had anything to do with that. "Besides," she said slowly. "We still need to eat our dessert." She smiled a little at him, looking him in the eyes.

Merrick exhaled hard, shaking his head slightly as images both desirable and otherwise flashed in his mind; he shook his head to force his focus off of those rather... intimate and risque thoughts and back to the present. He knew she'd likely assume from his movements that he was not interested in the dessert, though he had no intention of mentioning the other thoughts running in his mind at that moment as they would either scare her off our interest her; he, though, leaned towards the former.

Constance looked away when Merrick shook his head. So maybe he wasn't hungry. "Well, I will try to save you some," she said with a small smile. She moved over to where her cake was and began to slice it into even slices. Constance blinked and shook her head a little as she tried to clear her thoughts. Her cheeks flushed as some completely inappropriate thoughts filtered through her mind.

Merrick sighed as Constance went over to her cake before a low yet audible grumble sounded. He blushed slightly, realizing it was his stomach growling. A shiver shoot down his spine as his tails, all six of them, emerged. He blinked add am idea flickered in his mind as his eyes became slitted before an aura of bluish lavender engulfed him before an abrupt popping sound followed. He blinked acouple of times, momentarily wondering why everything had gotten larger in size before he realized what he had managed to do: he had shifted forms into a fox kit roughly half again the size of a toy chow, his fur an intriguing blend of reddish gold with silvery white accents.

Constance heard the grumbled that Merrick's stomach made and chuckled. Well obviously his stomach was trying to tell him to eat something. She took up a couple of slices of cake and when she turned back around to look at him she stopped mid-stride, eyes wide. Merrick had managed to change forms. She had no idea what to do or what to say. Finally she cleared her throat and chuckled. "Well that's a cute side of you." She smiled sweetly at him for she did mean what she said. She set the plates with the cake down as she watched him.
