Haku looked to Zabuza, still seeming a bit unhappy. His eyes said, 'I still want him dead', but he gave a small nod. He pushed himself up into a standing position, swaying a little, but remaining strong.

Seeing the hard look in Hakus eyes, Zabuza could tell what he was thinking. Don't worry, Haku, I already said I was going to kill him for what he's done to you. After that, we'll take what we want.
"If you need to, you may stay here for one more night, but I'd rather you leave as soon as possible. I don't want my daughters around your type." Nasake gave Haku a sad look before turning and leaving the room.

Haku flinched at Nasake's words, but bowed his head slightly in understanding. He waited until the Lord was out of the room before falling back on the bed again. Taking a few shaky breaths, he pushed himself up again. "We can leave once I get my things together, Zabuza-san..." he mumbled, slowly shifting forwards to head to where his bag was to bring it over to the bed and pack.

He gave a nod. "When you're ready, we'll go back to the cabin and rest up. Tomorrow we'll head back to visit our employer...or should I say our new target. If you feel you have the strength for it, you may have his life."

"Thank you... Zabuza-san..." Haku mumbled. Getting his bag, he set it on the bed and moved slowly around the room, collecting his things. He seemed to slowly be recovering from the pain, as his breathing was still a bit heavy. Once he was done packing, he changed clothes with the ones he'd pulled out- his usual brown Hakama, and teal Haori, with his brown turtle-neck, and brown obi. There was a place where he'd spent the time to patch up the hole was in the chest area- the same with the turtleneck. The cloth seemed a bit worn on all of it, but it was still fit to be worn.
Haku folded the under-kimono layer he'd been wearing and put it away. Before he said he was ready to go, he put his hair up and clipped his bangs together at the sides. Picking up his pet and closing his eyes for a moment, he looked to Zabuza. "I'm ready... Zabuza-san..." he murmured.

Zabuza led the way out of the room and down the hall, ignoring anyone that happened to be around. As they passed by one room, a sitting room by the looks, Chihiru came out and smirked at them but said nothing. "When we get outside I'll grab the cart again. It's been snowing nonstop since we've arrived."

Haku nodded, but paused before he could pass Chihiru. Turning to her, the mood to the air seemed to shift a bit more. Leaning forwards, he got close enough so nobody else could hear him. "Baita*." He whispered, then continued on his way. He didn't like her, and with his current mood, he showed it. In some ways, he'd rather do a lot of things he hated to do then see her become the step-mother of the twins, but, that wasn't his choice. He couldn't do anything about it, if the Lord picked her.
Haku would've rather walked on his own, since he no longer seemed to have to pose as a high-class woman, but he still needed to recover a bit more so he would be strong enough to kill the other lord. Walking would just wear him down even more before he even got the chance to recover. He ignored the stare he got as he passed by another doorway, where the old woman looked out at him. She still seemed shocked, even moreso that he was walking. The teen eventually got to where Zabuza and the cart was, still holding his pet close, and his bag slung over his shoulder.

Zabuza opened the door to get outside and froze. While the stairs to the mansion where cleared away, everything else was not. With a frown, he walked down to the last cleared stair and stepped off, only to find himself waist deep in the white stuff. There'll be no pulling that cart through snow this deep. He looked over his shoulder at Haku and frowned, then raised his brows as Nasake joined him.
"I said you could stay the night for a reason." Nasake said as he went over to stand beside Haku. "I've had someone out here clearing the steps every ten minuets, but as you can see, it's rather useless." he turned to Haku and gave him a soft smile. "I know things have gotten rather...awkward to say the least, but I wish for you to stay until you've healed more. Someone with that kind of injury shouldn't be fighting the snow."

Haku frowned a little, stepping forwards a bit. "I've fought in the snow, before..." he murmured softly. "But... it is too deep... to travel in..." He took in a breath, and let it out, a white cloud coming with it. "What do you think, Zabuza-san? I could walk, but it wouldn't be as easy for you." He knew he probably confused Nasake there... but he didn't know he could walk on top of the snow.

"He's right. It's not safe to travel right now." This will give Haku time to heal and see what else I can get out of Nasake. He made his way back up to the stair, then brushed himself off when he was out of the snow. "We'll leave as soon as it stops snowing and some of this melts."
"I'll have some hot tea brought to your room so you can warm up. You don't need a cold on top of your other injury." Nasake gave Haku another small smile. "No one else here knows that you're a male. If you prefer for me to keep referring to you as Lady Hakuhyou, then I shall. It could make things easier for you, then again, Chihiru seems to dislike you very much."

"She dislikes me even more, now." Haku murmured, but it was almost too quiet to hear. "As long as it doesn't trouble us... it doesn't matter." He turned and stepped back up to the top level again, rubbing one of his pets' ears almost absent-mindedly. Even now... when he knows we were here to kill him... when he knows our plan, somewhat... he's still caring for us like proper guests. the teen thought, zoning out a bit.

"At least you don't have to hold your tongue now, Haku." Zabuza said with a bit of a smirk as he followed the other two back into the mansion.
"I know she's not too friendly, please have respect for my other guests." He gave Zabuza a look before returning his gaze forward again. "You may wander about the mansion as you wish, Hakuhyou, but your...guardian may not. Also...my daughters my come seeking your attention again. Please don't do anything to harm them."

"As if I would..." Haku murmured. He still seemed a bit distant, even as they walked. "And... I will remain with him for as long as we're here. I do not want to be treated differently from him." He didn't look over to the Lord, but instead, walked a little slower so he was soon next to Zabuza. "If he is confined to the room, then so am I"

"If that is what you wish. I will send someone in with some hot tea for you. Good night." Nasake then went down a different hall. He noticed the clock on the wall and gave a bit of a sigh. I must find the girls and let them know to not bother Hakuhyou and her guard.
"You don't have to stay with me, Haku. I'm not going to listen to him just because this is his house. I'm going to be looking for any extra information about his brother that I can...not that it will make much of a difference for him, he's still gong to die."

"You should rest too, Zabuza-san." Haku murmured, looking up to the older male. "We don't need any information on him... save for where he hides his money..." He gave off a slight yawn and flinched a bit. "...and that shouldn't be too hard... to squeeze out of him." He seemed to drift back into a bit of distant silence.
