Blink. Did the Raevan just ran through the wall? Lazarus stared wide eye at the spot where he last saw the young Frei. Turning off the stove, he moved slowly towards the wall where the other Frei just disappeared into. With a weary hand he touched the cold concrete curiously, as if making sure that the Frei just went through a solid wall and not a hidden door or something. He moved his hand across the wall, it's really a solid, that's for sure. But the other Raevan was solid too, he was just holding onto his wrist just now. Is this that Raevan's ability? Laz thought curiously. He must admit although he had seen all the Raevans before, he had never seen most of their abilities. The only Raevan power that he remembered clearly was Roux's. He froze the lab over when he gained consciousness.
First thing that came into Laz's mind then, is running to the cafe door immediately and opened it to the corridor. If he really did ran through the door, he should be in the corridor right now. "Hey, are you there?" Lazarus cried into the corridor's darkness. The only light illuminating this place was the very dim light shining through the reception area glass doors and Laz's rune. With limited lighting, he couldn't see very far.

There was a pale minty colored glowing hue at the end of the corridor. The newborn frei was trying to figure out where to go next and he looked confused and scared. From what his barely coherent mind could piece together from what he had just seen, the newborn concluded that...
LAZ AND THE FIREBREATHING MACHINE WERE IN LEAGUE TOGETHER.
Now he just wanted to get to the doctor, who was the only one who didn't seem like he had any connections to the machinery. Jumping as Laz's voice called out, the young frei gave a weak yelp and vanished through the nearest wall.

A tiny flicker of green. Laz squinted at the further side of the corridor. He thought he saw a faint green light flickered and vanished. It's probably the younger Raevan! Damn, with that ability of the Raevan it'll be hard to track him down. Laz grumbled as he exited the cafe entirely, floating still in the corridor now. He thought he saw the light flickered and vanish to Laz's right, that means he's probably ended up in Tsu's office now.
One thing he knew for sure is that he won't be going back into the lab on the left.
Letting out a sigh, Lazarus floated towards the door that leads to Tsu's office. As quiet and as cautious as he could, Laz turned the doorknob, thankfully it wasn't locked. A tiny streak of light escaped into the otherwise pitch black office of Dr. Tsu. And sure enough, he saw a green light illuminating a dark corner of the office.
Lacking a name to call the runaway Frei, he called out as quietly as he could at the Frei, as if scared that he may run away again. "Hey, why are you hiding in here? Don't be afraid of me, I mean you no harm..." he said through the little crack between the wall and the door, not daring to enter unless the Frei runs away again. From the corner of his eyes he caught sight of Tsu's computer sitting nearer to him. Glancing wearily at the computer and at the younge Frei, he's worried that he may found out that there were more electronics here compared with the kitchen. Thank God all of them were turned off.

The newborn frei gave a soft whimper and he was curled up at the corner of Tsu's office, floating awkwardly near the floor. Looking at the crack of the door where Laz peeked through, the raevan muttered softly, "Monsters...Fear...Wh...happen...?"
Glancing up the young frei looked like he wanted to go back to Laz. Maybe being alone in the corner of a dark room wasn't as safe as he thought it was. In fact, he found himself more frightened. Edging slightly towards Laz, the newborn muttered another string of incomprehensible words.

Monsters? He meant the electronics? Laz thought curiously. Could it be that he thought the stove earlier was a 'monster' as well? Lazarus always treasured the stove as his energy source, maybe that's why the thought didn't occured to him earlier.
"Don't be scared," Lazarus spoke with the most gentle voice he could muster up. Words flowing through his mind, trying to find the correct words to use so that he wouldn't terrify the young Frei. Damn, this is so frustrating. "I'll bring you to somewhere that doesn't have any monsters." And damn right he will, and he'll remove the radio from that room too. He suddenly felt like a dirty old man trying to kidnap little kids. He saw disgusting middle aged guys did that on the television before, cheating little kids with lies of sweet treats and false safety.

Muttering more unintelligible words, the raevan began to wibble wobble towards Lazarus, his red eyes constantly flickering around him to spy out possible dangers in the darkness. If it wasn't for his soft glowing rune, he would've been able to float right to Laz without a problem. However, this was not the case. The soft green glow of himself bounced off the computer monitor in Dr. Tsu's office and the newborn froze in place, his red eyes fixed upon the hunk of plastic and plasma. He made a little soft squeaking sound, as if checking that it was indeed asleep, before slowly inching around it as if he were stepping around a great sleeping lion. As soon as he got to the other side, the young frei bolted for the door and passed through it and the red raevan on the other side. Now floating behind Lazarus, the newborn pulled at Laz's arm, trying to get him away from the door so that the monster wouldn't wake up on account of him.

Lazarus felt a soft cool breeze as the young Frei floated through him. He blinked once, twice, trying to comprehend what had just happened. Not only was the Raevan able to go pass walls, he was able to go pass living things as well? Like Lazarus? He thought, wide eyed. He stared at the green Frei as the young one tugged at his arm. This could be a tricky one for Kyou. He thought deeply as he slowly led the Frei to the playroom right down by the end of the corridor. He shut Tsu's office door quietly, carefully so that he wouldn't scare the younger Frei too much. He was quite sure that the green Frei was terrified of Tsu's computer in the room.
"It's going to be okay." putting a hand on the young Frei's slightly trembling hands to reassure his safety, they arrived at the door of the playroom. Now he just needed to get in, rush to the radio and run away with it to dump it somewhere else. With a firm and slightly sweaty grip, Laz turned the door knob to enter the playroom. Getting ready to grab the radio when it got into sight. It was a rather small machine actually, sitting in a far corner of the room. It was never really used, so he didn't know why Kyou bought the thing in the first place.

The newborn floated close to Laz, looking around warily in the dark and squinting his ruby red eyes to try and peer through the blackness. Lazarus had entered the room and the young frei wasn't too keen on following him into the blackness until a light was turned on and the room was claimed to be safe. So Eiry floated lightly at the edge of the doorway, trying to see through the dark by the light of their glowing runes.
"Okay?" the small raevan echoed, mouthing his words like Lazarus did. He was beginning to feel a lot safer with the red raevan and he found himself more trusting of him. The way he moved and said things, the way his voice sounded, was soft and comforting. It reassured the raevan like the way a security blanket would. The newborn frei watched him move into the bedroom and he felt like he wanted to follow and stay close, but he was too nervous to step in after him if there would be another monster in there. "Okaay?"

"Yeah... okay..." Lazarus mumbled quietly as he floated into the dark room, half distracted. He realised it's the perfect chance for him to at least conceal the radio when the room was pitch black before the young Frei saw it. The dim light from his rune illuminated the room just enough for him to see about 3 to 4 feet in front of him. Throwing a weary look back at the Frei that was lingering in the doorway, he pretended to look for the light switch in the dark as he slowly move towards the spot where the radio is.
After a few seconds he saw it, that small old radio perching on top of a cabinet. Trying his best to conceal his movements, he grabbed the radio and opened the cabinet doors right where the radio was sitting on, and with a swift movement he placed the radio in as quietly as he could and shut the doors, concealing it out of common sight.
Now he could finally really head to the real light switches!
Crossing a quarter of the room Lazarus reached the switches on the wall, pressing on one of them, the room lit up in a light yellow glow, waking the sleeping Kaze on the table in the middle. "Wh... what's up?" he mumbled incoherently, only managed to peel one eye half open.

Confused by the voice that came out of nowhere, the young frei first glanced about himself and then down the hallway and then back into the room at the table where he heard the voice come from. Tilting his head, he stared suspiciously at the cup. Hmm...A voice? But no body? Was there another raevan somewhere? A quick turn of the head...No. Only him and Lazarus...
The newborn cautiously floated into the room, wibble wobbling dangerously as he came in. Musing his mouth into a frown, he leaned in over the table and looked at Kaze with confused ruby red eyes. When it moved again, the frei gasped loudly and opened his mouth wide in a smile. Surprised by the little body, the newborn floated wildly over to Lazarus, trying to get him to look at the thing on the table. As soon as he got to Lazarus, he gave a brief squeeze with his arms around the fire frei's shoulders. Moments afterwards he broke away and floated back to the table. The wispy frei didn't even bother to wait for Lazarus's response, he was so curious. On his way back to the table, the young frei's ruby red eyes got distracted and he wobbled for one of the toys, his arms stretched out for it.

Kaze rubbed his eyes a little and settled both his elbows on the mouth of the cup, "Is he another new one?" Kaze asked absent-mindedly as he let out a huge yawn. "He... doesn't look too stable..." he said as he raised an eyebrow at the wibbling Raevan.
Lazarus on the other hand is more relieved now that he was able to calm the Frei down. At least now he don't need to run around searching for him. Letting out a relieved sigh, he floated towards Kaze's table. "Yeah, it's a long story..." he said weakly as he shook his head. It had been a long night, first Rivener, and now this young wobbly Frei. He didn't even noticed that the other Frei was reaching out for the squeaky teddy bear plushie.
"Does he know how to play tic tac toe?" Kaze's eyes shone as he cried excitedly, obviously more awake now.

Picking up the teddy bear into his arms, the young frei squeezed it happily and then startled when it squeaked at him. Furrowing a brow at it, the raevan put the teddy back where it belonged and then floated to Lazarus. He thought it wanted to be set back down again. So he left the teddy bear alone.
Smiling, when he saw the little body in the cup, the newborn said happily, "Halloa." He pinched his cheeks up underneath is eyes in a wide grin and leaned on the table to get a better look at Kaze. Pondering at the green body in the cup, the young frei asked, "What?" He indicated Kaze with the gentle poke of his fingers.

"Hey! Don't pinch and poke me like that! I'm not a toy like that teddy!!" Kaze complained as he crossed his arms, puffing up both his cheeks. He wished he could move away further from the Frei, but being stuck in a cup doesn't give him much freedom for movement.
Finally relaxing a little as he leaned on one elbow on the table, Lazarus pointed an index finger at Kaze in a somewhat rude manner, expressing his displease with having to take care of the little kid. "He? Oh he's a drinkable kid. He was born magically from the tea." he spoke as he pointed a finger towards the green tinted tea inside the cup. "He's a uh... part of the family with me and Kyou..." he spoke as his eyes drifted away, staring at nothing in particular. He was shy at admitting and saying the word 'family', it sounded so sappy to him somehow and he's not very used to expressing that emotion.

"Sorry, Kaze."
The young frei smiled at the reaction of the drinkable and he lifted a soft gentle finger to stroke the boy's head twice before he curled his arms underneath him and glanced at Lazarus to watch him as he spoke. Interested, he studied everything that Lazarus did and tried to learn from it. Lucky for the newborn, he was a sponge and he learned quickly.
"Family? What is family?" he inquired softly, looking at Lazarus with his large red eyes.

Lazarus looked back at the young Frei with almost equally large red eyes at the question. "It's uhm..." he struggled to find the proper words for it, trying to find the simplest way to answer to that question, but apparently he's very bad at it. "When a few people stays together and, not necessarily love each other..." he said as he eyed Kaze, causing the little tea boy to frown and pout back at him. "But they take care of each other, that's family... I think..." he added, sounding not very sure himself.
Maybe there's an easier way to show the young Frei? "Like for example I take care of Kaze, and Kyou takes care of the both of us," he spoke as he motioned his hand between Kaze and himself. "We also stay together! So we're a family!" Man, he's so bad at explaining things, Lazarus thought bitterly. Hopefully the wispy Frei could get a basic idea.
Kaze on the other hand, had picked up a pencil propped up against some books and had started to draw some tic-tac-toe gridlines on a piece of paper settled on the table.
