Renea had climbed the spring board and dived in. Feeling the cool water as it rushed her skin. Yes, to be able to swim, even during winter was amazing. The specialty lights made it feel like a beach, along with the greenery. She surface at the other end of the pool. With long, smooth strokes, swam up to Leonis. "Oh, I think that Master Crest will take you to see the world someday. I heard a few stories from a few veteran maids that went on a few caravan's with him. They enjoyed it. I did enjoy it on my way over here. I was finally able to leave that hot city. I cannot wait to see what spring is like here." Lanna, nonshalantly cannonballed in and swam up to the duo. "In fact Leonis, if it asn't for Master Crest's kindess when he found us maids working in taverns and bars, barely wearing anything and below marrying age. He gave us half of a months pay and told us to go talk with our parents and to meet him for the travel return the next day. He wouldn't even hold it against us if we just took the money there and never showed up to leave. There a few maids who are married and left once they had a decent dowery. That is what Master Crest wants us to have. Money for our parent's, for ourselves and for our doweries. To allow us to marry into a good family." "I think in all, we are lucky to have meet him rather it was some form or another, either a good or bad situation." Renea pulled a float that was nearby and kicked herself into small circles.

ℒℯoηisLeonis turned to face the young woman who had joined him in the refreshing pool. The mentioning of spring had a smile back on his soft features. "So this place does have something more that snow! I was so unsure, I awoke here from where he'd found me I suppose.. I've never actually known where that was..." His innocent wanderings from the guarded church grounds that was part of the monasteries compound in which he was born had led him to be so lost that when he was attacked he had lost his bearings already. The injuries had him fatally wounded and he knew he really did owe his life to the man who not only aided his escape but took a stranger in when he could have been left for dead. As they were joined with a rather exaggerated splash he gave a small laugh, before murmuring, "Yes.. I know of his kindness too.. I benefit from it as we speak.." His words trailing off as he thought over another moment. "Whenever I try to get to know him though.. he draws away, gives me tasks. I wonder if the well placed errands and orders are to keep me from knowing him, I know people have need for their own secrets but I think he finds me simpler than I am not to notice his aversion.. He's only really ever sort me out when he-" The rather intimate point of Crest needing the angel had him cut off his own words. He had stumbled onto a topic he didn't wish to explore. Especially not with maids, he had heard others gossiping enough and as a male he tried not to feel too wounded at the cheap jest made at his expense.. But the naturally trusting angel had felt hurt. After that he'd sought friendship in a guard who merely disappeared from serving and after that as Crest had returned, the man seemed bored with him.. Leonis knew too he would likely be too much a hassle to be taken of the caravans. But he feigned optimism for now for the girls' sake. "Yes, I look forward to such trips.."

Lanna and Renea kept him busy, teaching him small recipes to make for a snack in the kitchen. How to keep things from collecting so much dust and the secret to shining silverware. They looked after him for Crest. Soon, they found that their orders to tell a false lie that was the truth, rang all too true for them. They knew about the gaurd that was coveting Leonis for himself, so they hung in a trio, only one keeping gaurd at knight and switching post's but stayed together through out the day. Crest had spent three days straight in the meditation room, catching floating balls. He finally emerged from the hot room, covered in sweat and hair soaking and pants sticking to his legs. His breathing heavy. His stress now washed away. The cold air slammed into him and he shuddered violently, his nerves reacting so violently that the nano bots hurried to warm him back up. He dragged himself from the training level up to his room and to his bath tub. He fell in, pants and all, and sat in the empty basin before making an attempt to plug the drain and turn the water on. His body had under went detoxicfication, his hand fumbled for the powdered mustered milk can and knocked it off, it rolled towards the door. He watched it stop. He sighed and didn't move, his muscles already screaming at him. He gave up and watched his toes instead. He only made a slight momovement to turn the water off.

Kitsu-chu-X ℒℯoηisAs the days trickled by the two girls became his companions, teaching him quite a few useful recipes in the kitchens. He was there when he overheard the next orders coming in, watching as the few staff there were bustling about, chattering about the master of the house himself. Apparently back in his own quarters and busy. A nearby cook was trying to sort the servants food out at the same time, the time constraint now pressing had the angel offer his help. He took up a plate of cut cheese, pickled assortments and his own warm just baked bread, a few slices cut already, the plate garnished with relish and parsley. A servant had already announced outside of Crest's room that some thing smaller was prepared before dinner would be served, in the masters room of course, the household were used to his toughened state after meditations. Leonis had put the cheese and bread board on a side table before hearing something clatter in the bathroom. He hesitated, not wanting to disturb the man before giving a soft knock to the closed bathroom door. "Sir, is everything all right in there?..." The angel unexpectedly nervous, it had been a while since he had actually spoken to the mercenary.

With what little strength Crest could muster, he cracked an eye at the door. It was a voice he hadn't heard in a while but it seemed distant, like long before time stopped for him. He just grunted, low and in pain, Somthing that sounded like, "come on" but it was barely even reconizable, only the sound of the siliables was present. This was the first that any of the servants came to acknoweldge him after meditation. He attemped for another can of powdered milk but sucsefully sent it crashing to the floor with a metal thud. He sighed, being in pain was a huge pain. Every movement sent his body into screaming pain, its was best to stay still.

ℒℯoηisThe angel pressed his ear close to the oak door, to be sure that the reply he heard was sound. cracking the door open, the meek raven peered round as he slipped into the large bathroom adjacent to the man's chambers. A blush flushing his cheeks as he realised he had interrupted his master mid bathe. "O-oh I'm sorry, I didn't realise..." The young man's eyes fell to the spilt mustard powder as he had averted them from Crest, who was oddly closed. He had heard servants whispering about the state in which he was after meditation. It made Leonis want to be of use for once so he decided to speak a little boldly on the matter. Clearing off a lidded wicker washing bin, he shifted it near to Crest's side and placed the plate down there before kneeling with dustpan and brush he cleaned up the mustard powder. "U-um.. Sir, would you care for some scented bath oils, or anything..." Watery blue eyes managed to meet Crest's amethyst ones for a moment before he lowered them out of respect. "Please, I want to be of use..." His last words uttered quietly as he felt that he was forcing his company on a man who he presumed had grown bored of his angel slave. But if Leonis was to serve for life, then he would do his best where he could, one could blame his kind temperament.

He just pointed at the muster powder, the slight movement shocked him. He could talk via mind messenger but he clearly saw that Leonis wasn't wearing his communicator. His pants floated about his legs and he began to regret not trying to take them off in the first place, they began to bother him. Crest would furthur detox in this bath. He sighed as his stomach groweled. Three days of no eating was on its way to get him and his head dropped to the edge of the tub as he quietly watched the Angel.

ℒℯoηisAs he cleaned he saw the man wince, the tense line in his jaw and fatigue wracking him. So leonis decided to act bolder than before. He chose a few baths scents from the cupboard back with a mirror, taking out a handful of tall vials with coloured oils. "Chamomile and lavender should help soothe your muscles and relax you a bit.. i-if thats okay.." His voice a little timid as he waited for an approving nod not wanting to seem rude, once given he poured a little into the bath at the side, looking over the man's clothed form. "I'm going to help take you shirt off, if thats okay.. If it hurts anywhere let me know.." He lean't in, sleeves rolled up and began unbuttoning the shirt, fingers a little shaky as he was trying to help but feared that the man might think him presumptuous. Once done he helped the man's arms out and slipped his hands under Crest's shoulders, so that the man didn't have to put any effort into the movement before slipping the shirt off of him. The winged raven drained the shirt in the sink before lying it over the drying wrack. "I-I don't mean to offend, but would you wish for me to help you out.. out of.. um.." His shyness took over as he tried to finish his sentence. Despite having been intimate with this man on several occasions, he had never taken his clothes off for him, not to mention the distant feeling with him. But Leonis innocent nature shone through, he was only trying to help, and waited for any sign of confirmation.

Crest let the angel work around him and at least removed him of his thin shirt. If he could chuckle, he would but pain surged even at the slightest of movements. With just a slow blink for an answer, Crest let himself sink into the tub till his chin was to the water. The hidden spa tub in the bathroom floor would have made it an easier place to be, with its water jets and changing lights but he opted for the bath tub instead. He let Leonis remove the offending clothing. It was an article that you wrapped the sash around your waist many times then it pulled free with ease.

ℒℯoηisCrest's subtle inclination to accept the angel's help was enough for Leon; he carefully pulled off the man's clothing, wrung each piece before hanging it on the dryer. Once finished he pulled up a stool beside the bath. He cut small slices of the cold meats onto the a cracker with pickled egg on some and a slice of cheese. He took note as to what the man liked by asking the kitchen staff before. Leon carefully helped his master eat and took care not to spill anything in the bath tub. Once finished he left the man to himself after leaving a towel on the side. Leon thought over his time so far with his new master as he made the bed, sure there were maids for such a thing, but the angel pitched in where he could; despite being only a 'pet' to the android mercenary. He'd become oddly loyal to the blonde man which was less surprising considering the consistent state of turmoil, the man's mood swings had him constantly on his toes; but for some reason through occasional compassion, cruelty and kindness he'd wanted to please the man who had saved him. The only thng he struggled with was the sudden distance Crest had put between them, a creature of companionship, the duodecim found it difficult to be alone for so long with two maids who he knew would rather be elsewhere but were forced to babysit the angel. The raven slipped on one of his thicker shawls and took a step onto the balcony, the snow drifts had lessened and it was once a clear day. The chilly bite of crisp air was refreshing.

Crest's motion detector went off, someone had opened a door to the outside world but the weather display was a slight snow drift. He let it pass. It was going to be a long winter and he wasn't about to get a case of cabin fever so he began to work on sumulation drills for his staff. He could see that Leonis still needed more practice with the gun but he wasn't needed for the drills. But there was one nuecense that was edging closer to his own demise. Crest began to set up plans about what to do with him. He fell asleep in the hot water.

Kitsu-chu-X LotusCurtiss Umm.. Leonis isnt that mean, I meant to imply with what I'd put in my previous post, that he helped Crest eat. Maybe that wasnt clear, so I edited my post a tad to make it more obvious. fixed mine

ℒℯoηisLeonis took a moment to appreciate the softening winter winds. Having lingered enough in the white chilled air, the angel headed back inside, brushing snowflakes from raven hair that had captured a few when it had been tousled in the wind. Leon headed back quietly through the room, picking up a few furs that were draped over the rugs and floor, and folded them draped over the end of the bed. As he passed by the ajar bathroom door, he saw, there, sank in steaming water, his master who had slipped into sleep. Feet moving quicker than his mind and the previous embarrassment forgotten, Leon found himself rushed to the side of the blonde man, hands turning the sides of his face from the warm waters of his bath, keeping it facing up. Bracing one of Crest's arms about his slim shoulders, he shifted the naked man up from the bath waters, most of which spilled in almost silence onto the cool tiles bar the sound of their contact. The angel managed to bear the weight of him enough with both his hands looped under Crest's arms holding onto his chest. Pulling him along until the humanoid rested atop his bed, where Leon diligently slipped him under the sheets while humming a tune he'd been taught many years ago, the soft simple melody stuck in his head.

Crest woke the next morning, staring at the ceiling and not at the far wall of the bathroom. He attempted to move an arm. Pain stung him, but not as nearly painful from last night. He rolled to the floor and got onto his hands and knees. Yes, the hidden floor hot tub was eaiser to get to. He made his way to the clean bathroom, by passing the tub and to the rounded glass cornor. Putting his wieght onto one arm, he reached up and pressed a button. A panal of flooring moved, revealing a wonderful pond of hot water. The water jets on full blast and L.E.D. light's changing color. He rolled into it and just floated on his back. It did feel good.
