Orian shrugs. "I havn't seen Alyosha around, so it really isn't a problem." He looks a little quizzical at the 'your to nice to me' part. Where all men in this world dolts that didn't know how to treat a woman. He mentally shrugged to himself. "Id actually preffer it if you stuck around so I have someone to talk to. But if you really have to go," he shrugs a little, and stands, kissing her cheek. "Thank you for your help M'lady"

... Okay, so now she felt bad. He honestly liked talking to her and here she was fidgeting and trying to get away... but... she really ought not to be here. With all the trouble she had caused Alyosha and her embarassing alcohol incident, it felt wrong to hang around when she didn't belong in the first place.
Gah! Damn men and their wiles! As long as there was only one of them... it wasn't *that* bad. Besides, he was making such an effort to be nice...
"It's... It's okay. I mean... I left home because it was... noisy. I just don't belong here any more than you feel like you do. I didn't shipwreck here, so I really have no excuse..."

Smiling a bit, he chuckles. "I don't suppose I could sweet talk you into giving me a tour of the island, could I?" He made big puppy dog eyes in her direction, and then chuckled a little, standing up. "Please? I enjoy company, and I'd really like to have a look around the island. Besides, you seem nervious to be here, so i'm figuring you don't want to bump into Alyosha for some reason. So this gives you a chance to escape, ne?"

At this she flushes so quickly and such a deep red he can easily suspect why it is she is avoiding this man. Yes, a walk around the island suddenly seems a wonderful idea, and so taking his arm, she decides that as poor a guide as she'll make, it would do her some good. Surely by the time they take a full walk around the island it will be safe to go home or she can perhaps crash on a sofa in the centre, hidden under some blankets.
And with that, they left the centre.

Off in a dark corner, a silver flash was caught in the dim sunlight projecting from a nearby window. A silent sigh edmitted from that same corner, and then a shadow twisted. Barely visable, a dolorous face leaned forward. It was Fae; she had came in to keep eye on Orian once Aly had taken him in the room the previous day. She wanted to make sure he had a place to stay. Well it was obvious now, to her, had she only woke up at the wrong time.
The room was silent, and she sat there grimly for a moment, thinking what she should do now. She gave a heavier sigh and looked down to her abnormally warm foot. It was Pueblo- she was curled up, still asleep on Fae's sandal. It seemed her gryphon stuck by her side faithfuly. Giving a somewhat-relieved smile, a glimmer of hope, she reached down to stroke Pueblo's back gently. "Hey, girl," she whispered.
Pueblo's sensative ears flickered and stood up, detecting the voice to her keeper. Instantly, her head lifted off from the ground and blinked groggily up at Fae. Wha...where were they? Her tail wagged a little, happy to see her keeper awake.
Fae smiled warmly. "It...it's time to go home," she said in a hoarse voice. Yawning, she stretched and shook herself onto her feet. Oyyy did her back cry out for her bed. Then a faint smell made her nose wrinkle and quickly lowered her arms. "Ech...lets go take a shower while we're at it." @.x Fae started to walk out of the room, but her hand seemedto say otherwise. It rested on the frame which caused her to stop. She turned around and looked to the empty room. Shaking her head, there wasn't any hope. No hope, she decided. But at that point, it just becamse another numb feeling, and she was soon walking back to her home with her beloved Pueblo.

Syrenrei had decided perhaps a small nap was in order after giving Orian a tour. After all, she needed to have ample energy to return home and a nap would not only refresh her, but perhaps even give time for Rei and Onuris to compose themselves before she arrived.
Flopping on a large, soft couch she quickly found it agreeable, to say the least, and grabbed a large blanket to pull over herself. Curling up in a somewhat fetal position as she was prone to do, the blanket covered everything but some whisps of white hair. In her tired state she was absolutely sure that should anyone happen upon her that she was so well hidden they'd simply walk by here without noticing the blanketed lump.
This was a very, very stupid assumption made with the fatigue of a long day, of course... and due to her nature, the cat nap lasted quite a bit longer than the prescribed thirty minutes.

Slowly walking into the Center, this time clad in some dark, black jeans that had come from gods knows where, and a grey silk button up shirt, seeming not to notice the heat, came Orian. He had a far away, distant look on his face, as if lost in thought. So lost in fact, when he went to sit on the couch, he didn't notice Sy there. The moment he sat on her though, he lept up, realizing he had sat on someone. "Oh! Gods and Goddesses! Please forgive me. I was off in la la land." Pulling down the blanket, he blinked a little. "Miss Sy?"

"Mmmf." Bleary-eyed she didn't seem to really recognize the person nor what he did other than it interrupted her sleep. Without any even slightly coherent response she pulled the blanket back over her head, exposing her booted feet, and tried to resume sleeping. Not that, mind you, this was the best time or place to sleep.
What was she dreaming about again? Oh yes... chocolate-covered cherries and being massaged at a spa where she was the soul visitor and the attendents were all male. Sy had a very vivid imagination.

Orian just shrugged, and scooted her over on the couch enough so that he could sit down, and stare off into space, once again lost in his thoughts, lost in the past. He looked down at his hands, letting one, small tear trickle down his cheek, which he quickly reached up and rubbed away. No, he had to be strong. He had to keep going. He had promised them that he would. That he would be happy, for their sake.

Alyosha wandered into the centre. Somewhat boredly he glanced around, pondering what to do with his afternoon. He didn't often take an ofternoon "off" deliberately and.. well.. now he remembered why.

Lifting one hand in greeting to Aly, Orian spoke briefly. "Afternoon. Sorry about falling asleep the other day. I guess getting shipwrecked is more exausting then i expected." He gives a glum smile, before looking back down at his hands.

O_o;; Okay, so now the one feeding her the chocolate cherries was talking about being shipwrecked? Wait a gosh darn minute... he sure sounded a lot like the stranger... Damnit! >_< Slowly she opened an eye and realized that both Orian and Aly were present, which was enough to make her panic a bit... they both had a habit of flustering her, and simply thinking of them flustering her, flustered her.
In her half-conscious bewilderment, her attempt to jump up and sprint for the door in a sad excuse for an escape ended up with her hitting the floor with a resounding thud (she landed on her back no less) and completely entangled in the blanket.
Damnit. This was not how she imagined it. With a sore back she was now entirely awake and wishing she could sink into the floor without them noticing... but it was already too late for that.

Alyosha waved a little in greeting to Orian, walking over towards him a little ways before seeing that Sy was there. He was amused by Sy's attempt tp... well he wasn't sure what. Walk maybe? Run? Anyways, ending up on the floor was presumably *not* what she'd meant to do.
He squatted down on his haunches, watching her with a slight hint of amusement on his face.

Orian, seeing Sy fall, got a little flustered, and kneeled, gently scooping her off the ground, and laying her on the couch, giving her a quick once over to check for injuries. "Are you alright Miss Sy? No harm done?" Seeing that she was unharmed, he sat back down, this time on the floor, leaning against the couch, unintentionally blocking Sy from getting up without stepping over him.

If either man had ever seen the sort of look commonly called "deer in headlights," this was it. With Aly sitting there staring at her (and she was sure he was smiling at her stupidity the night she was drunk) she was already flustered... but then when Orian picked her up and put her back on the sofa she was truly and completely embarassed.
Maybe... maybe if she layed perfectly still they'd... forget her and leave her alone? Probably not... she'd best answer Orian, despite the burning blush on her cheeks.
"Nononono!" she finally gushed. "I'm fine, really very very fine. I should... eheheh... go home." DAMNIT! There was no way to get past the man. Gaaaaaaaah!
