Now he had to know. Neko had mentioned something about the stones coming from death, after all, and if Karan had the same thing... Maybe it meant something. How he wished he could really talk right about now...
Nodding a little bit, he dropped his pendant back down, the gold charm landing on top of the dark dragon since it was in the way. ...That twitch... Did his pendant bother Karan? Thinking for a moment, he placed his hand over his own bi-colored eyes, then removed them, as if to make a point.
"See okay?" he asked, wondering when the blindness had cleared up.

He thought he'd explained that already, but... "Yuh. Awh bettah." A cheesy smile accompanied his affirmation, disguising the last remnants of discomfort.
They were the same though... there were lots of same things about them, Karan thought, not for the first time. He wished he could ask about them too, but he had trouble forming ideas, much less words... but neither of them was going anywhere. He'd ask someday.
The door creaked as DS pulled a thick fluffy quilt into the room. "You've caught us by surprise, Demare-kun. Hopefully you won't need much, but you should stay by the wall..."
Shaking the quilt out, she bunched it around both infants, using it as sort of a shield. "Now, go to sleep before I call the police on you."

Demare blinked a few times, eyeing the blanket that was being stuffed around him. Sleep? She was ordering him to sleep?? ...Well, it was getting late, and he was getting tired... BAH! He took up the dragon plushie Karan had loaned him for the night and hugged it to his chest, wondering why he needed to keep to the wall. Instead, he rested his back against Karan's box, his eyes resting upon the guardian again for a moment.

Heaving a tired sigh, DS headed to the dresser in the corner, pulling a squashed pillow from the top drawer. It was sorry looking, with a few feathers peeking out through a hole in the corner, but it was fluffy and big, which was what she needed. She fluffed it up a little, then placed it on the floor next to the cot.
"Sleep well, you two," she murmured as she exited.
Hrm. She'd never done that before... oh well, no matter. That wasn't what bothered him anyway. But sleeping? NOW?
Karan glanced at Demare, curious as to what he intended to do.

Demare's eyes followed her every move, even to her exit, before he leaned over a little bit to glance down at the pillow. ...Why was the pillow on the floor?
His narrow eyes peered up at Karan questioningly, as if expecting an answer to the event.

Just as clueless, Karan shrugged. Maybe it was because he was here or something.
"Sleep naw?" He didn't want to, but if the other boy did, he'd try...

Demare had to think about that for a moment. He hated being ordered to bed, and something about it made him uneasy. He'd go to bed when he was ready, he figured.
Shrugging a little bit, he pulled some of the blanket off of himself. "You wan?" he asked, his wings fluttering and flapping once to free themselves from the quilt.

"No." Karan's answer was clearer than most of his speech had been, and it wasn't entriely due to its simplicity. Even with all the light out, he didn't want to sleep yet. That he knew for certain.
But then, what would they do? Just sitting was boring. That wasn't why he wanted a friend to come home at all, to be bored.

Demare began to look around the room for a moment, but his eyes kept falling back to the pillow, and so the sleeping person across the room. Who WAS that, anyway? He pointed at the figure, looking back to Karan for a moment, hoping to find out at least that much while he thought up a plan.

Following Demare's hand, Karan looked across the room. Oh, that one. He still wasn't sure he trusted him...
A feeling of annoyance mixed with curiosity invades the minds of both boys.
So, Kar has a visitor tonight? No wonder Xue woke up... whee
And there was the reason why. Trembling a little, Karan looked back at Demare, wondering if he could feel it too.

Demare's eyes widened at the voice, his wings stiffening at the intrusion. T-that wasn't Clare...
D-D-D-Demian...??? Clare piped up, his voice squeaking with fright. W-what was that?!
I d-don't know! I... I'm not sure where it came from... Demian replied, Demare's hands tightening around the dragon plushie.

The figure in the other bed sits up, boucing a little. Head resting in his hands, which in turn are supported by crossed leggs, he looks over at the others.
Xue didn't mean to scare anyone... he just wanted to see who was there... sad
His distress was nearly infectious, and his hands scrunched together worriedly.
"H-how...?" Karan himself wasn't sure what the end of that sentence should be, but he had to ask something. Reaching behind the pillows again, one hand tightens around the charm on his waist, the other roots around searching for someting.

That voice wasn't his... IT WASN'T HIS!! Why was it there?! Demare's bi-colored eyes frantically searched the room, seeing nothing but the odd child across the room. That kid wasn't TALKING, though... And the voice didn't belong to Karan, either.
"WHO?!" he demanded. Who was talking to him??

Owww... the kid doesn't have to yell! Xue may not have ears, but he can hear just fine! gonk
And he's right here! Not talking, but... well, close enough.
To make sure there's no mistake, he waved one hand at them.
Still nervous, Karan edged towards the far side of his box, trying to get as much distance between the kid and him as possible. He knew who it was, that didn't surprise him... but the how was another story altogether.

Get out of my head... Demian hissed, Demare's hands coming up to grasp at his ears. GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
"S-stop it..." he whimpered aloud. He was... scared. For the first time since his death so many years ago, Demian was afraid. He closed his eyes tight, his wings wrapping tightly around his body. What was talking to him...? It was strange... And it made him very uncomfortable.
