"Really?" she smiled widely, and giggled at the woman's goofy face. Suddenly she looked shy. "Then..." she started quietly, then very quickly asked, "canIhavesomechocolatemilk?"

"Coming right up, kid." Cerri answered with a wink of her good eye, grinning. "I'll be right back with a very large glass of chocolate milk for the lady, and a napkin for the boy here." she smiled at Arlen, then headed to the kitchen, whistling softly.

Arlen giggled and sat down on the ground near the fire. He used his sleeve to wipe the milk off his face and then continued to drink from his glass.

She called me a Lady! she thought in shock, then pushed the thought away for something far more important. Almost shaking with excitement at the prospect of Chocolate Milk, Ajinaru sat down near Arlen. "Thanks," she said.

"For what?" Arlen said, setting his empty glass down.

Kaden slowly made his way down the stairs rubbing his eye having to stop to get the tears that where flowing from it to stop. "Stupid.." He murmured nursing other eyes, covering it with his hand as he walked blinking alot to clear his vision. Not seeing the others yet he stepped down and scanned walking around the counter in a nervous way. "...Erm.." He stopped holding his left eye pressing his palm to it, the red that trickled down the side of his face was still there like a line where tears would of flowed, this just dripped down onto his shirt. "...M-maybe.." He stepped back a little his fingers lightly covered in blood sniffling he turned around realizing his mistake.

"Mmmmmm..." she thought for a minute. "Well, if you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have gotten any chocolate milk," she explained.

Cerri came back out, humming now, glass of chocolate milk and napkin in hand. Seeing Kaden, however, she gasped, hurrying to drop off the previously mentioned articles before going to the boy. "Kaden, are you alright? Let me see... it looks like you're bleeding..."

"Are you sure?" Arlen asked, wiping his face and looking over at Kaden and quickly closing his eyes tight and placing a hand over his mouth.

She took the chocolate milk with a quiet 'thank you', then watched as the woman hurried over to tend an apparently wounded man at the door. "Is he okay?" she asked, turning to Arlen. When she saw his reaction, though, her question changed. "Are you okay?"

"Ah-um.." He sniffled his eye watering more, "I-I can't find Toto-san!" He said quietly scanning her slowly not removing his hand the blood under his palm seeping out the little cracks left open. " The Stitches.." He said slowly shivering a bit cringing at the small amout of pain he got from pulling his palm away a little. Then he dropped his hand to look at the red liquid afraid he did something wrong, his heart tumped hard in his chest, the Stitches that once held his eye closed where ripped out it seemed and a small scratch that was bleeding more then it should of was across the top. "I didn't mean to.."he said quietly, "Toto-san is going to be so mad!" He said tears coming back into his only eye.

"I dun like blood," Arlen said, curling up slightly and fighting the urge to be sick.

"Arlen, why don't you go up to bed?" Cerri suggested, not looking away from Kaden, examining his wound carefully. "I'm sure Lily wouldn't mind if you stayed with her again." Then she smiled softly at Kaden, laying a palm against his cheek. "Shhh... it'll be alright. I can fix up the stitches for you... River won't be mad..."

His breathing hichted he wanted so badly to believe her but her anger earlier the day told other wise, " I Can't-Cant find her!" He said sadly rubbing his watering eye keeping his eye lid closed on the other one, so she didn't have to look at his eye socket. " She's, N-not down here! Or-or on the roof!" He said even more desperately wanting so bad to be calm like Sasori to be calm and stong, but it hurt and it was hard. Kaden opened his eye a little confused at her, "Y-you know where toto-san is?..." He questioned softly the hand that had blood on it was clutching at his dark navy shirt.

Arlen nodded and stood up. "Good night, Miss Ajinaru," he said to the new girl before hurrying up the stairs, avoiding looking at Kaden and seeking comfort in Lily's arms.
