-Rave appeared in the keep and made her way to the bathroom, seeing the empty tonic bottle roll across the floor with a hallow echo as her foot touched it. She giggled slightly and closed the door behind her, Cleaning and changing before she came back out. her hair was twisted into a dripping ponytail as she rolled her towel up in her arms. A slack-ish pair of dark silk PJ pants and a dusky sleeping tank. She yawned faintly, flashing her fangs like a little tiger as she shook her head. She couldnt stand the water on her ears. Her tail was already completely dry and as poofy as a kitsunes. She couldnt stand that either. She felt like a powder puff.. ~.~;
-She Sat down on her side of the bed and opened a book that rested on the bed stand, flipping to page 501. The cover read Cry Wolf by Tami Hoag. She couldnt wait to finish it... Rave slipped her legs under the covers and propped her back up against the pillows. She tried to read as much as she could before she heasitantly fell asleep; the book slipping from her grasp to the floor beside her.

Xol appeared in is chambers and yawned loudly, clapping his hand over his mouth as he turned and saw Raven already asleep. "Heh...whoops." He grinned, rubbing the back of his head nonchalantly, making his way over to her bed side.
A few steps later, he smacked his foot into her book that was laying on the ground. "Son on a bi~..." He grimaced, picking up the book as his eye began to twitch, and tossing it onto his dresser drawers with flawless accuracy. Bending over slightly and smiling, he trailed his hand on the outline of her face, "So beautiful." He said matter of factly, leaning in and kissing her gently on the lips.
Xol made his way over to his side of the bed where he stripped down to his boxers, turned off the lights and crawled under the covers. He scooted over to Raven and snuggled close to her, wraping an arm around her waist and falling asleep.

-Raven slipped from the bed at dusk and dressed silently in the soft light that loomed across the room from a dim lamp. For a while she just stood by the balcony door and just studied him, as an artist might study a subject before putting brush to convince, taking in everything about the man, the mood. The light from the lamp seemed the color and consistency of fine sand, golden and grainy, and it didn't quite penetrate the shadowed corners of the room. Xol lay sprawled on his belly taking up most of the bed, his face buried in the crook of his arm. His bronzed back was a sculpture of lean, rippling muscle. The sheet, a drift of white, covered only a section of thigh and hips.
- Raven memorized the way he looked in that moment, this first morning when she truly accepted everything about him; spurning away any second guesses or worries. She didn't want anything else but to be there at that moment. She smiled and turned away, slipping on her cloths before stretching her arms as she walked out onto the balcony. The breeze was so real, and the moon light felt just as calming... she almost forgot this place was below ground. She laughed at herself and shadowed; leaving the keep to visit on a few things around BC.

Raven appeared back at the keep, at the foot of the bed before she dropped her coat to the floor. She sat down heavily on the edge of the bed, feeling like a rag doll. Her boots slid off and she fell back, griping the covers and the pillow; managing to yank a blanket and a fist full of sheet over her shoulder half way. She groaned, too tired to even turn the bed side lamp out, her ears and tail were as limp as the rest of her. She let out a long sigh, her eyes shut tight as her mind flickered to a standstill till dawn... or late afternoon in this case. Feeling like a ton of bricks told her she needed some well earned rest.

Irvine reappeared at Xol's Keep. He actually transported himself into Xol's room. It was large with onyx floors and a large bed. Irvine was kind of curious as to how he made it here. He hadn't intentionally come to this room. Though Irvine had some idea of what kind of connection Xol had to his room. He walked over to the bed and rolled Xol off his shoulder and on to the bed on his back. Then standing up he turned towards him and shook his head.
"You'd better not die you b*****d. Mastema's not the one whos going to end your life. I am..."
With that, Irvine disappeared in another white flash from his blue flames. Where he went was anybody's guess.

Xol crawled from his bed shortly after Irvine had teleported in his master bedroom. It had been him using the last of his power to guide Irvine to his Keep, more specifically his chambers. After roughly 30 mintues of crawling through darkly lit dank hallways and struggling to stand up to activate security system overrides, Xol made it to his lab.
He was having enormous trouble just focusing, so the process of activating his rejuvenation chamber too much longer than normal. When he finally got the tube open and the settings for the process to last for the required time, Xol crawled into the tube. It sealed around him and flushed with a red liquid, making gentle hissing noises as the pressure was increased.
His eyes were nothing more than slits as they stared out into the expanse of his lab.
Mastema...

*Phi had run through the forest til she found the cave and angrily pushed the vines and foliage away, walking down the passage then stoping at the wall, pounding on it* XOL! LEMMME IN DAMMIT!

Just as he was about to doze off for the long recovery ahead, a silent alarm was tripped at the cave entrance. Small red emergency lights popped out of the ceiling as a flat screen motitor slid out from the wall a short distance from his rejuvenation tank. On the screen was Phia, pounding on the wall of the cave in a furious manner. He was tempted to ignore her, but knew that because of the nanites still in her blood that something could be seriously wrong.
Bubbles escaped from his mouth from various curses as the liquid drained and Xol stumbled out. The red healing liquid had dissovled away his clothes so a quick stop to the bathroom was in order to grab a towel. Tossing it over his waist and tying it tightly, he teleported into the cave where he stumbled slightly and cleared his throat.
"This isnt' really the best of times Phia dear..." He growled as sincerely as possible, clutching his side that had the most damage from the rocket strike of Mastema's firing squad.

"Must you scream...ugh..." Xol groaned leaning into her slightly as she took his arm. It took him a moment to fully register what she had said.
"Thanks...and what are you talking about? I did no such thing! Perhaps they activated when sensing I was close to death...I believe that was a built in mechanism. Easily solved..."
Within that same moment of him saying "solved", they were in his lab. The full extent of his damage could be seen now in the labs harsh lights. Holes, big and small covered his body, chunks of flesh and divits scarred it as well. Bruises, cuts, scrapes and scortch marks littered his body too. He was taking in ragged breaths and his eyes were slightly glazed over.
"Sit in that chair over there...this will only take a moment." He grimaced, pointing behind him to a chair right by Phia.

"I'll be fine, don't worry about me!" He snapped, pushing her down into the chair and moving two large machines over to her. One on each side.
"Sorry...didn't mean to snap. Just, don't worry about me...besides you're in more danger anyway." Xol said with a feeble smile, rolling up both of Phia's sleeves before swabbing the crooks of her arm. "This is a common procedure in human patients with kidney failure. I'm sure you've heard of it...dialysis. I'm going to remove your blood, filter out the nanites and return the filtered blood back into you. Unlike other methods, this should only take a few minutes..."
He coughed, sloutching slighty before regaining his composure and slidding a needle into both of her arms. The machine clicked on and started to draw blood out one side, filter it and return it in the other.

"Sounds like fun..." He winked, walking over to an opposite chair and sitting down. It wouldn't take much longer now, probably in the last stages of filtering already. Xol handn't even planned on killing Phia, just scaring D into a corner where he wouldn't fight.
"Fine, you can try and fix me up if you wish...you'll find everything you need scattered about my lab. Just concentrate on one that at a time though...that being, your health first."
