Welcome to Gaia! ::

"No no no! It's not... It's just..... I've never seen someone with ears like.... that and i..." she blushed and shuffled closer to them. she reached one hand up, and ran her index finger down the back of his ears. they were so soft and fuzzy that her face instantly turned a bright red, and she jumped back. after a few seconds of getting past the fact that she just touched them she went back and got a good feel of them.

She giggled at the feel and smiled, "They're so... soft, and cute... and... I feel really odd for doing this... and I'm sure it's no better for you... sorry." Hali pulled her hands back and curled them in her lap. she bit her lip and mumbled, "Should i be taking you to an infirmary?Or...."

~~~~~~~~~~

Oriana's temperature dropped low enough and the ice absorbed into her body to keep her cool. she collapsed to the ground from exhaustion and began bleeding from her paper thin skin.

Hali's eyes got all big and she continued to palpate his ears. there was a childish smile growing on her face and her cheeks were a soft pinkish color, "Awwwww, Auren can we keep him?!" she giggled as she proceeded to massage his head.

as she moved to the back of him to get a better angle she noticed that Auren was holding Oriana... in her human form, "OH god!" she screamed as she jumped to her feet..."Uh uh... Water! We need to get her in water... you and Kaiser can find an infirmary and I'll go get mom and dad..."

She got up to begin dashing off, when she turned around, hugged kaiser and cuddled into him, then ran off again,

-hours later... after auren finds water and gets kaiser and himself to an infirmary.-

Hali Damir and Vienna returned with a group of water nymphs, to begin healing Oriana.

Damir took this time to sneak away and head to the infirmary with the men and check up on his daughter's fiancee. It didn't take him too long to find Auren. He was sitting in the corner, a cup of coffee in hand and his chest all bandaged up. Damir approached him with a calm smile on his face, "I'm surprised you're still in here... What happened?"

"She's got two incredibly large deep bruises from where you carried her, her arms knees are badly bruised from falling... her knees, she has a small bruise on her face...I'm assuming you kissed her or something... She'll be fine..." Damir glanced over at the cat sitting on the chair and tilted his head, "A friend of yours?"

Damir shook his hand and nodded, "The one Auren killed before you raped my daughter...." he frowned slightly, then sighed, "Ah, no since dwelling on the past now... Oriana will be fine Auren. Basically what happened was her body became too cold, and so it shot the cold outward in a protective form; that ice demon thing. when her core temperature dropped it pulled back into her body to maintain it's normal temperature."

Damir clapped his hands together and smiled, "Well, if you two are done here, maybe you'd either like to get your room set up or pay Oriana a visit." he looked at one, then the other and turned away, "Well, You coming?"

They get back to find Oriana floating just above one of the lakes in Enthelda. four water nymphs as well as Vienna are in the process of healing her.

Damir saw Hali passed out in the shade of a tree and ran to her, "Sweetheart, Are you alright? Do we need to take you to the infirmary too."

Hali's eyes opened slightly, but her eyes were lulled back, "I-I don't know what they would do for me..."

Damir scooped her up and sighed, "Well Auren, I'm going back to the infirmary... Maybe they'll have a few things i need to make a basic energy potion... I'll return soon."

Damir came back in holding Hali in his arms. he explained the situation to the woman trying to keep everything somewhat organized, and they got her in a bed and hooked up to a IV that gave her small doses of a potion to boost her energy. Took a seat and sighed, "Why does it seem that every time i leave one of you, you end up getting hurt... " he sighed heavily and closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Vienna stopped what he was doing and left the other four to pick up what she wasn't putting into the healing and Joined Auren, "Are you doing alright?" she asked while offering him a glass of water.
