Waking Taller
Luthor felt as though he were moving through water as he started to come to and for a moment he thought that he had gone blind... then realized that he was just curled under the pillow. He was laying on his side and was feeling rather relaxed and comfortable... he reached a hand over his shoulder to poke at where he'd felt the lumps on his back before... then blinked as small appendages fluttered against his hand and he sat up quickly, looking over his shoulder to stare at them. He gave a breathless sound, "Wow..." He murmured, wings... the wings had come in... and they were kind of small weren't they? He found himself starring at the fluttering wings... they weren't quite something that would help him to fly but they were so pretty!
He shifted a bit as he looked over at Ciaran and smiled as he saw his friend was asleep with him, he hadn't left just like he'd promised he thought before he crawled over, for the moment not noticing that some time recently that the pants had gotten a bit on the tighter side, much shorter then when he'd put them on as well. It didn't occur to him that he'd grown, his body's response to the changes in it, the trauma of having wings come in. He leaned over to press a kiss against Ciaran's cheek, careful not to poke the sleeping spawn with his horn as he didn't want to hurt him.
Feeling so warm and comfortable as he thought it wasn't all that bad sharing a bed. It had been a time consuming time to make sure that Luthor's wing were clean of blood when they did finally came in and to make sure that the scabs around his wings were starting to heal. He had been so tired and hope that Luthor wouldn't mind.
Half knowing that his friend was stirring on the other side of the bed and also felt one of the covers come off and get a little cold. Still a little sleepy one of his hands when in searching for the blanket to get warm again. When he felt a kiss to his cheek and he thought that felt nice and opened his eyes and was a little started. Then he smiled big and put his hand up to Luthor's face to make sure he was seeing things right and giggle a little too. "That was nice and I see that you have grown as well," he said as he purred too.
Luthor blinked, "I what?" He asked, sitting up and looked his arms and hands over, down along the rest of him, he could see, then ran his hands over what he couldn't see. His friend hadn't been joking, had he? It was then he seemed to notice that his pants were exactly fitting as well as they had when he'd put them on. He shifted in place a bit before he sat back. Wings first then growth? He'd gotten a lot bigger... well at least taller, he still looked pretty light and on the lithe side. Even younger then him both Pepper and Ciaran seemed to have more in the way of muscle he thought, doing his best not to pout.
"Wow... eventful sort of nap." He murmured, pausing to touch his hand to his mouth. Even is voice was different, wasn't it?
Ciaran just had to giggle at the reaction Luthor to have grown. Sitting up as his friend checked himself over and looked over to see what time it was and seeing that it was early afternoon and wondered if Sokan was around. "That is true, but it was a good one," he replied as he giggle some more as Luthor touched his mouth. "It happens to everyone when they get older." he said as he knew that he would change a little once he grew and spotted there was something on the chair not to far from the bed with a note on it stating these were for Luthor. "Well it seams that Sokan had some for site and got something for you," he stated and pointed to the chair that had a note on it with a larger pair of pants on it.
Luthor glanced over at the chair and gave a bit of a smile, "Good, these are a bit on the tight side." He said as he slid out of bed and rose up to his new height, he looked down then gave a whistle, "A lot taller." He murmured, he'd be taller then Almas by now though he supposed that wasn't saying to much as he was on the short side. So... this meant he would be taller like that other idiot who's blood he shared? He didn't like Vampy but he wouldn't complain over the height since it was nice.
He walked over to the chair to scoop up the pants, looking then over before he moved to get changed seeming to still be oblivious to the fact that it wasn't the social norm to change in front of others given he was a little out of the loop when it came to some rules.
Seeing that his friend was taller as being taller did have its perks. "Well if I need anything that I can't reach now I know who to ask," he said in a teasing manner. "We should go shopping for some new clothing for you. As nothing that will fit you anymore." he said he also got out of bed and started to stretch. Blushing slightly and turning to give Luthor some privacy, but Ciaran was starting to get use to his friend doing that and knew that he just grew up differently than he did. Now just aware that Sokan knew that they were awake as he started to smell something baking downstairs.
Luthor gave a bit of a laugh, "Sounds good, I don't mind being useful in that way." He said, looking over his shoulder at Ciaran who was looking in another direction after he was all dressed in his new pair of pants, "Do I look alright?" he asked, lifting a hand to scratch at the scales around his shoulder which were looking to be gleaming like gems at the moment. They were pretty weren't they he thought to himself wondering where they came from... his mother didn't have them and he didn't think that Vampy did.
"New cloths... hrm... it sounds nice though after that I think I need to go home." He murmured, sounding as though he were torn on the idea. He wanted to go home to see and talk with Pepper, he was a little nervous about it at the same time because of Vampy's presence.
He still had to giggle at that reply and turned around to look Luthor over. Seeing that his scales glittering in the sun and Ciaran wondered what it would be like to have scales. Shaking that thought from his mind as he took one more look. "Yes you do and you look better being taller." he said as he thought to what store would be best to take Luthor to. "I know a good place to take you shopping and its also on the way back to the labs as well." he replied as he was a little sad that Luthor wasn't going to stay longer but knew that it was best if he did go home.
"Thank you, Ciaran... for everything. I really means a lot to me." He murmured, walking over to his friend to close the distance between them. He didn't really want to go, rather like hanging out at such a calm place that had such a nice atmosphere to it but there was a lot he had to do at home, some people he wanted to see. He gave Ciaran a smile, "We will go whenever your ready." He said, unaware for the moment that food was being prepared.
"Your welcome, Luthor. You also did a lot for me as well when I was at the labs and you mean a lot to me as well, you saw me at one of my worst points in my life." he replied as the smell of bacon was getting more prevent to his nose. "You can come here when ever you the door is always open to you." he said as he thought of the gift he was going to give Luthor that was currently hiding downstairs. "We will go once we both have something to eat. As I can smell Sokan making up something," he said as he offered his hand out to Luthor were they could go downstairs.
Luthor slid an arm around Ciaran, hugging him tightly close then smiled, "Well if you ever need me again you need only to just call, alright?" He told him, Ciaran did so much for him, offered him so much, he wanted to do the same though he doubted he could do enough to make up for all his friend had helped him with. He withdrew when his friend said they would head out after they ate and he gave a nod, "Sounds good."

Breakfast and Shopping
Ciaran just purred as he got a hug from his friend and thought it was very nice as he like the close contact. "All right but you have to do the same thing as well. I don't want you to wander around alone again." he replied as he thought about how he help him become sane and he knew there was nothing he could think of to repay Luthor for that. Ciaran took Luthor down and he had been right as Sokan had just make them some breakfast, eggs, bacon, toast and hash browns. As Sokan set the last of the plates on the table. "At least my timing is good. I was wondering when you two would come down. Eat all you want," he said as he put fish on his plate and sat down.
Luthor's little wings gave a flutter as he approached the table, looking over everything that had been laid out for them and he gave Sokan a grateful look, "Thank you very much, for this and for everything else." He said to the snake man, his tone one that was very thankful. These two had been nothing but kind to him and he didn't think he could thank them enough for allowing him to stay here and rest here, were he somewhere else he didn't know what might have happened to him when his wings came in.
He took a step at the table, looking everything over and seemed to be trying to figure out what he wanted first since it all looked amazing.
"Your very welcome, its nice to have others over," Sokan replied as he cut up his fish and started to eat. Ciaran gave Luthor a little nudge for him to sit at the table as Ciaran was also trying to decide on what he wanted to eat first and then spotted that there was ketchup on the table too and decided he wanted to eat some hash browns first.
Luthor moved to settled down into his seat, taking a moment to get comfortable given he was new to having wings and not exactly sure at first how he was supposed to sit. Once he'd found a good position he set to filling his plate, taking some of everything before he began to eat finding that he was feeling a bit ravenous, as though all the changes in his body now had it demanding food! It really didn't take him long to clean his plate and he seemed to barely be chewing as much as he was inhaling. He blinked when he realized there was none left and he glanced between Ciaran and Sokan, "Ahh... Can I take a bit more?" He asked, not wanting to take Ciaran's share as well but he still felt a bit hungry.
Taking the seat next to Luthor and took what he wanted of the hash browns and bacon. Getting all that he wanted and started to eat. He wasn't half way through his own plate when Luthor asked for more. "Go right ahead. I have all I want and I can always make more toast if I want," he said and knew that Luthor needed it as he had just grown and Ciaran knew that he had gotten enough and poured Luthor some juice to drink as he filled his own glass.
Luthor glanced over at Ciaran's plate, feeling a bit like a pig for eating so mucj but he didn't hold himself back when he was told he could have more. He was soon happily munching on his second helping of food seeming to be able to eat more slowly this time around and enjoy the food instead of having to gulp it down to take the edge off of his hunger, "This is all really good, better then what we have back home." Not to mention half the time it meant battling it out with the techs to get anything close to good at the Labs...
"Well I'm glad your enjoying it, Sokan make very good breakfasts. I'm also learning how to cook too. But I'm not that very good yet," he said. "But you will be with practice and when you think your good enought you should have Luthor come over to eat," Sokan added as he finished his own plate of fish as Ciaran finished up eating is own. "Ciaran don't worry about cleaning up I will get to that. The both of you go and have some fun and do take care of yourself Luthor," Sokan said as he took his own dishes to the kitchen to start cleaning up the dishes he had use to make the breakfast.
"I look forward to you cooking for me very much." He said, hoping to encourage his friend. He was quite curious to see what Ciaran was learning to make as well. He finished up what was on his plate quickly to catch up with the others and rose to his feet, "Thanks again, Sokan. And I will see you the next time that I visit." He told the older male before he turned his attention to Ciaran, giving him a smile.
Blushing a little as he knew his friend was giving him encouragement, but knew that it was bad now and he knew it all took practice. "Thanks, it will be something good. But I don't know what that will be right now," he said. "Your welcome and I look forward to that," he replied and turned to doing the dishes. Ciaran smiled and took Luthor to the study real quick before the left. Getting into the desk and taking out a slim box and handing it to him. Inside that box was a key to the house and on the key chain was several glass beads, one blue, one gray and purple, one that was purple and the last one was white and blue. With a few of Ciaran's feathers attached to it as well.
Luthor glanced down at the box that he was handed, looking for a moment confused before he opened it up and his eyes went a bit wide, "Ahh... are you sure?" He asked, a little surprised as he withdrew the key with its very pretty and decorative key chain. He lifted it up to swing it back and forth in front of his face before smiling, it was a wonderful gift he thought to himself before he looked at Ciaran, "Its... wonderful, thank you so much."
"Yes I'm sure, how else are you suppose to get into the house if by chance we are not here, silly. We lock the house up when we are not here so others don't try to take stuff from the house." he said and smiled. "Your welcome and we should go out now before there are too many people out and about," he said. Taking his friends hand and went out the door and to a very nice clothing shop not all that far from the Labs.
The white haired spawn was purely in awe of such a wonderful gift, that he was allowed to come here and not only come but to walk in with this key even if they weren't home. It was... amazingly generous of them to allow. He tucked it away carefully into the box once more and the box into his pocket, "I will take very good care of it." He promised, then laced his finger together with those of his friend and gave his hand a squeeze as they headed out to were the clothing shop was. He looked into the window first before they headed in before smiling, "Such nice things in there." He murmured, spotting several things that were blue that he rather liked, a few gold things, and one red thing that was nice and reminded him a bit of Pepper's coloring that he liked too.
Ciaran just smile as it was a gift enough for him just to be with his best friend and doing things together. There were a lot of very beautiful things in the clothing store as it was locally owned and for the fact that it also had other things inside and just not clothing but most of it was. "There is," he replied as he took a look around for himself. Lets find you something beautiful to wear," he said as he also looking around for something for him."Also it might be nice to get something for Pepper too," he added.
Luthor looked over at Ciaran before giving him a smile, "I think Pepper might like that though... he never seemed a bit fan of wearing clothing." He said with a little chuckle, that he'd even been wearing pants when they met in the dream he'd had was a surprise to Luthor given for the most part his friend had been a bit of a streaker, "Maybe we can find him something though." Something to make up for the hurt he'd caused his friend.
Ciaran smiled too as the pair Pepper was wearing were a little tattered, but then thought that he just might like it that way and didn't know that he didn't like them. "Well if clothing aren't his thing then there had got to be something here that he might like." he said as he thought of some ideas. "Well we could get him a scarf or a trinket of some kind,"
A soft giggle came from Luthor as he tried to picture Pepper in a scarf and thought he might end up trying to strangle both him and Ciaran with it, "Maybe, let's hunt around and see what we can find for him." He said, finding the idea of seeking out a gift for Pepper as being the ultimate challenge.
He also giggled too as he also tried to picture Pepper in the scarf too and it didn't look all that good. "I think that's a good idea," he replied, looking around that Pepper might like and the shiny caught he eye. "How about something shiny?"
"Hrm, maybe." He murmured, wondering what the other spawn would think of a shiny trinket as a gift. He gave a nod, "I think that he might like it... though something that was closer to the skin, he runs around so much something that was loose might get snagged and pulled off of him."
Thinking and looking over all the different type of jewelery in the case that was something that was close to the skin and shiny. His eye caught his eye was a bunch of different types of metal arm bands. "How about a metal arm band that has some nice design in it or some stones," he offered as he found a few things he liked as well.
"Ohhh, that could work rather well actually." He murmured, looking inside at the armbands, "They would suit him actually." He was sure that Pepper would look really nice wearing something like that and might actually wear it as well if it were something tough looking he mused to himself.
"That's cool," he replied as he thought about the materials that would be the toughest and would look better over time and look good with dings in it. The he spotted some pure copper armbands with a nice hammered finished to them. "Then gold or silver wouldn't be the best. But I think he would look good in silver, but I think that copper would be the best and it looks good with some tarnish to it," he said as he pointed to the said armbands.
Luthor looked the armbands over before he nodded, thinking on the colors that Pepper sported on his body before giving a smile, "Those would look good on him." He said, sounding almost childish in his excitement over them. Then again given he'd just grown to this size he still was pretty naive about a lot of things. He gave a rapid nod before he saw the price attached to them and gave a little sound in his throat, "Ahh... hrmm... I don't really have any money, especially not that much." He said, tapping a finger against his chin.
"That is good, I think we should get those then," he said as he looked around for a worker. Then Ciaran had to giggle at what his friend had pointed out how much they were going to cost. "Well its not as bad as the silver one," he said pointing to the ones that were in silver and more decorated. "Don't worry about the price I will get them and that just means you have to hang out with me more," he said as Ciaran would pay anything to hangout with his friend and had fun.
Luthor looked over at his friend before he gave him a smile, "You don't need to buy stuff for me to get me to hang out with you though... that is nice of you. Hrm... I really think that Pepper will like them." He murmured as he looked the copper bands over again before nodding. Somehow he could almost picture him running around the Labs with just those on terrorizing the Techs. The odd thought caused his cheeks to flush slightly though he wasn't sure why he blushed at the idea.
"I know, but I didn't want you to worry about the prices of things. As money is just money, but best friends are forever," he said as a worker got out the bands and he told her that there was more things they were getting before they would get those. She nodded and went back up to the front with them. Ciaran did see his friend blush and wondered to what the thought was and then told himself off in his mind that was a stupid thing to ask himself. "So now we just need to get you some clothing and then off to the labs." he said. He still didn't want his friend to go but it would also be nice to see Pepper again and he was also going to make sure bad things didn't happen to Luthor when he returned.
"If you sure about that." He murmured, he didn't understand to much about money and the only time he really had run into it while working at the Labs was that there was a need to have some to get things out of the vending machines. The difference between what they wanted for snacks and drinks was greatly different from what they wanted for clothing and jewelry he thought to himself as he stepped closer to Ciaran, "Lets go look around then, see what we can find. There were some really pretty things that I saw from the window." He said, his wings giving a flutter... as though recalling they were there he looked over his shoulder at them. Would be a bit tough to find shirts now, wouldn't it he thought to himself.
"I am as money is common and worthless compared to that of a true friendship which is more valuable." he said as he didn't know what he would have done if Luthor hadn't been there. He might have spent the rest of his life in the labs not truly living. Smiling, "That sound good," he replied as he spotted Luthor looking at his wing and he thought to what his friend might be thinking about his wings and shirts and giggled a little. "Don't worry, I know they can alter clothing for your wings, as I have seen other people around town that have wings too,"
Luthor gave a happy sound as Ciaran seemed to be reading his mind and assured him of the one thing he'd worried about, "Wonderful!" He said, moving along to looking through the clothing, running his hands over the various fabrics, and all but purring at a few things that he found particularly nice. So much nice stuff! As he went about inspecting the clothing Luthor was completely oblivious to the fact that he was drawing stares, the fact that he looked as he looked was rather lost on him. He saw the beauty in other sure, but never looking at himself in that same manner since he had just been looking at himself. His walking around in just the loaned pants didn't help matters any.
"What do you think of this one." He said, holding up a particular gold colored shirt that had caught his eye.
Smiling as his friend was having fun looking and feeling all of the clothing and that is all that really mattered to to him. Ciaran knew they were being stared at and he just didn't care and he stuck his tongue out to a few of them just to get them to stop starring as he love how Luthor looked even if he was a little lost and stuff. Ciaran never really thought he was beautiful, he thought he look ok but not beautiful. Ciaran looked the shirt over and smiled. "I think that is a great choice and it will look very good on you,"
A happy look appeared on Luthor's cheeks before he held it against his chest, "It is nice." He murmured, checking to see if it went with the pants that he had borrowed or if he would need to find some that went with the shirt. It didn't look to bad he thought to himself. Then again given the color of his hair, skin, scales, horn, and wings he was nearly a rainbow anyway so did it really matter if his clothing match perfectly? He didn't think so... he smiled.

Finishing Up and Heading Home
A happy look appeared on Luthor's cheeks before he held it against his chest, "It is nice." He murmured, checking to see if it went with the pants that he had borrowed or if he would need to find some that went with the shirt. It didn't look to bad he thought to himself. Then again given the color of his hair, skin, scales, horn, and wings he was nearly a rainbow anyway so did it really matter if his clothing match perfectly? He didn't think so... he smiled.
Ciaran's tail waged as he was happy. He thought for a second and looked around to see if there were any pants that would match the shirt that Luthor picked out. "Well maybe pants in a light blue color?" he suggested.
He gave a nod of his head, "Sounds good." He murmured, draping the shirt he picked out over his arm before he set to searching around for for a pair of light colored pants that would along with the pretty, golden shirt. He looked over at Ciaran, "I wonder if I should avoid red clothing, I think I would be almost a rainbow if I did." He said with a bit of a chuckle.
Giggling slightly as Ciaran thinking his friend in rainbow colors as it was bright but not bad looking in what Ciaran was thinking as long as the colors weren't bright colors. "I think you would look good in red, or a more muted version of the color. I think bright red is just not your color. I think copper color would look good on you," he said as he thought on what colors he thought looked good on him.
Luthor gave a smile, "That does sound like it would look nice." He said, thinking on the armbands they had gotten for Pepper. That color was one that he found he rather liked, he wouldn't so much mind wearing something like that as it wasn't a bright red that would be the last color he'd need to be a walking rainbow, "Mmm, how about these pants?" He asked, picking up a nice pair of smooth, light colored pants and held them up to himself with one hand and the shirt to him as well with the other hand.
Ciaran never thought too much to what colors would look good on him as he thought that some colors would look weird on him with his gray skin. "Yep, next time when we both have more time we should have a shopping trip and try all different type of things on," he replied. Ciaran looked over the pants that Luthor held up to himself and Ciaran thought it was a very nice choice and looked good with the shirt as well. "I think they look good on you and they look nice with the shirt too," he replied with a smile and a small wag of his tail.
Luthor gave a happy sort of sound, "Alright, I think it would be fun for us to go on another trip when we have more time to just wander around." He said, he would have to see about getting some money of his own somehow as well so that he wouldn't have to make Ciaran pay for everything. He couldn't say he was exactly sure how to make money but he would figure it out. He looked around before turning back to Ciaran, "I want to thank you again Ciaran, for everything." He had been very well cared for since he'd gotten picked up by Sokan.
Ciaran just smiled at the prospect of hanging out with his friend and just wandering around town and it was also Ciaran's plan to help his friend find his way around town without getting lost. So there were going to be many trips like that and Ciaran couldn't wait to do all of them. Listening to what his friend told him and his tail started to wag. "Your welcome and I want to also thank your for what you have done for me too." he answered as Ciaran knew he might still be insane if Luthor hadn't help him come to his senses.
Luthor nodded then leaned over to press a kiss to Ciaran's forehead, carefully so as not to poke the other spawn with his horn before he turned to start toward the counter so they could pay for these items.
A blush run across his face and very confused to what to think, but tried to hide his blush and let the feelings be pushed deeper in his mind for a later time. Gaining some composer he followed Luthor to the check out and talked to the lady up there about having the bands wrapped up in a present for there friend.
Luthor gave a smile as things were taken care of, taking the bag that was handed to them, "Do you think I should find somewhere to change into this? That way I can give you back the clothes that I borrowed from you." He said, not wanting to keep them in case these cloths were some that his friend liked and would miss.
Ciaran giggle a little as he remember that there was a bathroom they had passed when they had just walked into the shop. "I saw a bathroom when we walked into the store and I don't think they will mind if you change and don't worry about giving the other clothing back you can just keep them. I have enought clothing," he replied as he stared Luthor to were he had seen the bathroom.
Luthor glanced over at him for a long moment before giving a nod, "Ahh, if your sure I would like that." He murmured, giving a bit of a smile as Ciaran gave him yet another kind gift. He really had to figure out a way to pay him back he thought to himself. He wasn't sure what but he would figure out some sort of gift. He looked toward the bathroom that was pointed out to him and went trotting forward so he could change into his pretty new clothing.
Just smiling at his friend as he was happy and Ciaran didn't want it to end. But he knew that all good things had to come to an end but there will always be lots of other times they could hang out with each other. "They also look good on you, so no worries," he replied to Luthor as he waited outside for Luthor to change into his new clothing.
Luthor smiled as he worked on changing into what he was wearing. When he was done and turned to look himself over in the mirror before he turned to head out of the bathroom once again with the bag in hand that held what he was wearing previously. He looked at Ciaran before he held his hands out to the sides, "What do you think?" He asked, not really one that cared to much for his personal appearance but found himself curious about what Ciaran thought of the clothing now that it was on him.
Ciaran looked Luthor over once he had come out all changed into the new clothing. "I think they look great on you and the colors are also good too," Ciaran replied as his tail gave a wag. "I think Pepper is going to be very surprised to see you and happy to see you too,"
Luthor couldn't help but to chuckle, "Surprised... maybe, shocked too. Poor guy, he was so happy that he finally caught up to me in growth. I am sure he will forgive me though since its not my fault exactly." It had been a bit of a surprise to Luthor himself that he'd grown as his wings came in, or maybe it was after... he wasn't certain himself since he'd slept through it all. He smiled at Ciaran, "Alright, shall we?"
Tail wagging slowly behind Ciaran as he tried to envision that set of reactions from Pepper and just smiled to what he had come up with. "I think your right, he will be glad to see you in anyway." he replied as Luthor growth had even been a shock to Ciaran as well as when his wings had come it he was still the same size as Ciaran was, but it was a nice shock as Ciaran thought he might grow sometime soon too. "Yep, its not too far of a walk from here," Ciaran said as he led Luthor to the gates of the Labs.

A talk with Sokan
Wandering around town he did wonder to what love meant. I really couldn’t remember to what it had been like in his childhood as those were fuzzy times and filled with the most pain he could remember. As when he was insane that was one of the thinks his mind did to try to forget to why he was there so a large part of those memories were locked up deep inside his head not able to surface. Ciaran had looked up the meaning of the word, but then thought that it could mean other things to others or have special meaning to just them and the one that did share the same feeling. In general Ciaran was confused with his feelings and how he could share some of them with others as there were things that he didn’t even admit to himself that he didn’t want others to find out.
Watching all the people that walked by as he sat down on the park bench as he thought about what he knew. He knew that to really love someone that they had to feel the same way about you. But then you could feel it and the other person didn’t have to. Another one that you could love things as a physical since. This was just too confusing he thought to himself. He just didn’t want to go up to some random stranger to ask them what love meant to them. So getting off the bench and started to head home as maybe Sokan might have an answer to his question.
Sometime later as Ciaran finally got home and put away stuff in the closet and when searching of Sokan. It didn’t take Ciaran long to find Sokan as he found the other in the office reading some of his books. “Sokan there is a question that I need to ask you?” Ciaran said as he walked into the room.
Sokan had heard Ciaran come into the house but was very surprised that Ciaran wanted to ask a question. He had been reading up on a lot of parenting books to make sure he could answer the questions that he was asked and not be awkward moment about not knowing the answer. So putting down his book and not really asking to what Ciaran was going to ask as he just assumed that he was going to ask about well stuff kids his age would ask about, so Sokan was getting ready to have the talk with Ciaran.
“Why don’t you sit down, Ciaran were we can talk together better,” he said motioning to Ciaran to sit in a chair near him and Ciaran did so thinking that Sokan might have an idea of what he wanted to ask, so he didn’t say anything and was going to let him talk. “So people your age are starting to see others in a new light and are confused by them and wonder to what they are. But it’s only natural to feel those urges when you see others of gender as they too start to blossom into adulthood. Now the acts that you might be feeling or want to do are normal but its good to only do it with someone you like and they like you back…” he said.
Ciaran was a little confused to what Sokan was talking about, but then it hit him like a ton of bricks to what Sokan was talking about and that wasn’t to what he was asking and he didn’t really feel that way to anyone to even think that. “Sokan that is not what I was going to ask you,” he said with a blush on his face.
“You didn’t want the sex talk? Then what did you want. I just thought it was what you were going to ask since what age you are,” he said now embarrassed on what he was going to talk about.
“I wanted to know what love met to you. As I really can’t remember what it means except for what I have looked up,” he said with a smile.
“Well it does mean lots of different things and I think you know it can mean differently for each person but what it means to me it’s a strong emotion of affection and it can be for a person/s or in some cases it can be for objects. But for the most part it for another person. It a feeling that will never go away but only grow as you get to know the person that feels the same way as you do. It hurts when that person is away or is hurt or when they don’t tell you things. But those hurt feelings go away once you have resolved things. But for you, you are the only one that can figure out what it means for you, Ciaran,”
“Thanks, that is a lot of help and I know but I just wanted to know what others thought,”
“It’s good to have other opinions but don’t rely on them find it out for yourself,”
“I will and thanks again. Maybe another time you can give me that other talk,” he said as he got up and left the room.
“Ok till then,”

Meeting up with Adriel
Part 1
He tried to get exercise cause he was going stir crazy I the house. This round of being pregnant seemed to have dealt out bad cards. His back seemed broken, okay a bit...of an exaggeration but he still would of sworn someone broke a back over his lower back. The baby was already starting to move around inside of him...it made him feel a bit sick though he was use to it from the first go around. He....never had expected this to happen...never mind the first time but ...a second time. He was...NOT having fun. Grumpy was the nicest way to describe him. Even as he sat down heavily on the park bench he sighed. No ice cream...it wasn't the season for it. But his pregnant belly was starting to get more than a little obvious...not that he cared. He pulled his shirt down so it covered his stomach and then rested. Chii and Fuu...resumed their diligent guard of his stomach.
Out and about running for something’s that Sokan wanted or from a part of town that Sokan wouldn't go to. Hefting up the bookback that had the things that his friend needed or was looking for. Some of the items to Ciaran were a little weird and then there were some that smelled very good and he just wondered to what Sokan was going to do with them. Taking a shortcut through the park to the next place to get the last thing on the list that he had been given. Looking up from the list and looking around to make sure that he stayed clear away from others and from any females as well. Seeing that there weren’t too many people about and he knew it was because the weather was starting to get cold, but he was just wearing pants and a scarf. Getting out of the fog of making sure that he got everything he spotted someone he knew and walked towards the other. Getting closer he saw that it was Adriel. "Hi, Adriel," he said once he was over with the other spawn and then looked a little confused to the fact that he look still pregent. "But not to be rude, Adriel, but your still pregnant?" he asked not trying to offend the other but he was just very confuse and he also didn't know how long being pregent would last for them.
Adriel looked up when he heard his name, lost in his own thoughts which weren't very happy train of thoughts. He smiled though...it faded fast when Ciaran asked...if he was STILL pregnant.
The frown on his face was enough to announce he wasn't very happy person at the moment.
".....Still as in having a baby...yes...but it isn't the same one..." he muttered lowly.
Ciaran thought that he might have not asked that question if had known that it would have put a frown on his friends face as he like to have his friends happy. "Oh, sorry I asked," he said a little sheepishly as his tail slowly wag behind him. "So anyways what are you up to?" he asked as he got a little closer as he tried to think of something that would make his friend a little more happy.
Adriel gave a huge sigh, "Sorry Ciaran I am...not at my best..." He apologized though he still shouldn't of snapped at him like that. He gestured for Ciaran to join him on the bench.
"This...mostly." He explained with a pat on his belly trying to force a smile on his face. Chii hovered close as if expecting Ciaran to attack. Fuu reached out however to say hello.
"Its ok, I expect your not as it doesn't look like its a very nice experience," he replied as he walked over to Adriel, taking off his bookbag and setting it next to him as he sat down next to his friend. Ciaran looked over Adriel's belly and saw that Chii was being all guarding. But he did start to pet Fuu when Fuu came over to say hello. "Don't force yourself to smile even it you don't feel like it. I know how that feel," he said as thought of how he still felt about his mother and other things. "So do you want to do anything together?"
Adriel chuckled dryly and did just that his smile fell and he just looked tired. Extremely tired.
"Do...?" He trailed off looking at Ciaran, "Your not embarrassed to be seen with a pregnant man?" He inquired with an honest laugh, "Then yeah sure we can do something, can't guarantee I will get far..." He continued as his hand went to lay on his swollen stomach. Despite being rather...bitter about the whole experience there was still some level of love in his gesture to the unborn baby within.
Ciaran smile at the question he was asked, and thought that he would thing it would be weird to be with a pregnant women in his mind. "Nope, I could care less what other think and if they give us a hard time I can always give them a zap to make them think a little more the next time," he said giving a little smirk as he was learning a few things from Pepper. "Why don't we go and get something warm to drink and something sweet to eat," Ciaran suggested.
That...totally perked him up. He was half starved most of the time so going to get snacks sounded like a wonderful thing. Fuu went to help Adriel get up off the bench...whilst Chii barely strayed from his stomach. He gave a grunt as the weight settled back on his hips. God..it was tiring. He definitely needed to speak to Luthor about this....
"Do you know of a place nearby?" He inquired
Perhaps it was his fluxuating mood swings that suddenly had him perked up.
Ciaran watched as Adriel got up, getting his own stuff onto his back and stayed near Adriel just incase he needed help. He did have a little feeling for those that did carry babies as it looked like a lot of hard work. Ciaran did wonder to what a baby spawn would look like as he had never seen babies in person and was just only told about them.
"Yep its just outside of the park. It's hidden but its a very good place to eat. As it only advertise by word of mouth or if you stumble into it. That is how I found it, it a little cafe that services up just about anything and some very good pastries," he said as he walked to show were the little cafe was located.
Adriel was pretty sure he was drooling at this point he nodded his head and then looked around.
"It's good to see you outside of the facility still Ciaran. I haven’t been around the facility as of late so I feel bad that I haven’t gotten to talk to you more." he stated with a nod. He did feel bad...being wrapped up in his own little world.
Ciaran smiled as he also might have been drooling a little as it had been sometime since the last time as he had been kept bizzy. The place was just in view as the building just looking like all the other buildings around and there was just a faded sign above the door to indicate that it was a cafe as most of the window was covered by cloth to keep the sun glare out of the cafe.
"I'm glad too, its something that I don't want to repeat anytime soon. I have been to the labs recently to meet Pepper and take Luthor back to the labs after getting lost," he answered. "Its ok, I have been kept busy with finding a place to live with my friend and roommate and learning new things from him," he said to Adriel as they had gotten to the Cafe and held open the door for him to walk in.
As the name of Luthor was brought up he was reminded that he still...needed to talk to Luthor about getting himself 'fixed' after this baby was born.
"Ahh good to know he is back there...kinda need this.." His hand went back to his stomach, "little problem taken care off..." he mumbled before he looked at the cafe decided it was cute and then entered when Ciaran opened the door for him.
He walked in and ignored the looks he received and went to the counter and waited for Ciaran. He looked at the menu unsure what to order.
Ciaran didn't total know what was going on, but he knew it wasn't natural for men to have babies the way females do, but he did hope that Luthor could fix the problem. He also thought that he needs to talk with Luthor about what had caused him to go insane in the first place if he didn't know as Ciaran couldn't remember if he said.
Paying no mind to the people and there stares as he let a little of his magic make a little popping sound as it arced on the feather of his tail. Sitting next to Adriel and looked at the menu and saw that there was some hot chocolate on there and thought to start with that as he designed on what else he wanted. "Could I get a hot chocolate," he said to the lady at the counter as she when back to get it. "Everything here is good, its so very hard to choose what to get," he said to Adriel trying to deciding too.
Adriel found himself staring at the menu with no idea what he wanted. Did ...he want...the little cakes? or perhaps some cookies...the brownies looked good.
"Uh..." he started a bit distracted; "I'll have the hot chocolate too..." he started though he scanned from the list he had no idea...what else to eat. He looked to Ciaran for some help.
"Uh...any suggestions?" he inquired hopeful.
Ciaran had a thought when he was asked any suggestions as he also wanted to have so many of the sweets as they were all very good. "Why don't we order a few different type of the sweets and just share them," he suggested. "You can choose a few of them first and then I will do the same, if you want to do that," he asked as the lady gave them both there hot chocolates with peppermint sticks on the side to add to the hot chocolate if they wanted. That is what Ciaran did taking the peppermint stick and sturing into the chocolate and letting it cool a little before taking a drink.
Adriel liked the idea as it meant he could try a bit of everything. He closed the menu and nodded his head.
"That's a good idea.." he agreed as he patted his belly, " I am sure the little one will like it too." He continued with a laugh. His mood perking up greatly since food would be coming shortly.
Chii kept a guard on his stomach, though Fuu reached out to greet Ciaran again by poking him in the hand.
Ciaran put the order in for what sweets that were wanted along with a few extra plates to where they could share all the wonderful delights. "I think that the little one would as its always good to have sweets," he replied as he thought of how he would ask the burning question that he had. Ciaran smiled when Fuu poked his hand. "Its good to see you too," he said to Fuu as he started to pet the tentacle. "So have you figured on what your going to call the little one if its a boy or a girl?"
Adriel was a bit thrown by the question and he peered down at his belly as if expected it to reply for him.

Meeting up with Adriel
Part 2
"Uh...no..no I am not sure. I haven’t talked it over with Duncan yet...but we know the gender...its a girl." He replied as he stroked his taunt tummy.
Ciaran did smile shyly at the question he just asks as he knew the next one just might throw his friend for an even bigger loop. "Well at least it will be easier that you know that its going to be a girl. It would have been a lot harder if you didn't know." he said as he took another sip of his drink as his tail swished behind him.
Adriel chuckled and nodded his head, "Yes...well until Iah grew I was worried that he...wouldn't want a brother or sister...but...I was lucky in it being a girl. Iah seems less worried about being replaced.' He sighed and leaned on the table. Fuu nuzzeled against Ciaran's hand happy for the attention.
"Well its good that he knows that your not replacing but just adding to the family to were there is more love and joy for all of you," he said as the stuff they ordered and extra plates came out to them. "You can have first pick," he said as he petting Fuu some more and trying to gather his courage.
Adriel looked at all the treats before he picked a small chocolate tart and popped it in his mouth. Good god it tasted so ...goood... he made a pleased sound in his throat as he chewed and swallowed.
"Thanks... it was very good. What are you going to try?" he inquired politely.
Ciaran looked them all over as he tried to decide on what he wanted as they all looked so good. "Your welcome. I think that I will try the brownie looking one," he replied as he took the one that looked like a little brownie topped with powered sugar and then ate it as it was just so good, he would have to come back her more often. He swallowed the last of his sweet it was never to late to ask or it would bug him until he did. "So that this is an weird question, but what does love mean to you?"
Adriel gave Ciaran a look and a tilt of his head as if he had misheard.
"Wha? Uh..." he tried to think and he licked his lips nervously. What...was love? It couldn't be confused with lust...he knew he loved Duncan. But it was hard to place into words...why or how he loved him.
"It's...something you feel here.." he stated touching his chest where his heart would be. "Someone you want to be with all the times...forever and always. Despite who are you what you have done... you can forgive each other and ...move on together." He explained recalling the hurt Duncan had felt when Adriel had come clean about his...dealing with Adhara.
Ciaran really gave a sheepish grin as he really didn't want his friend to be imparsed by the question is just something he wanted to know as his own feelings were so messed up he didn't know what end he was on. So for the most part he ignored a good part of them. He listened intently to what Adriel was saying and to make sure he understood to the best he could. From his confused feelings he always wanted to be with Luthor as he was a great source of comfort to him, but it could also be that he just truly trusted Luthor but it could just be that they just had a strong friendship, stupid insanity for making things so very confusing. "Well I asked because I don't remember what love is much anymore because of going insane did and not truly remembering the good just all the pain," he said as he thought that Adriel deserved an explanation to why he was asking.
Adriel looked to Cairan a long moment. "Ohh...love hurts too. It will hurt the more the stronger the love is." He explained as he stroked his belly for moment thinking.
"Hurt so much you'd rather die sometimes...but then you remember why you love them." He explained, "And you try and make sure the good always overcomes the bad." He and Duncan had gone through a rough childhood..very rough trials...
Ciaran nodded as he made a mental note of what he was being told. "Thanks for the help, I think that I understand a little more. I hope that I didn't make you uncomfortable asking about it," he said as he didn't want the other to be upset with him as Adriel did mean a lot to Ciaran for what he had done for him in the past.
Adriel shook his head, "It's alright, I have never been asked it before...its good to reflect on." He replied as he reached for a lemon tart this time and took a bite/ It was also very good. Though he preferred the chocolate more he quickly demolished the lemon was as well. He rubbed his belly as the baby inside of him shifted a bit.
"Tell me...what do you think of this? Men...having children?"
Ciaran smiled as he reached for a bit of caramel cheesecake and ate it and just purred in delight. "Ok, I just didn't want to upset you over it or something," he answered as took a sip of his drink as he listen to the question asked of him. "I think it would be a good experience despise the problems it could cause. It would make some men think twice on how they treat females if they had to experience it themselves. I think for myself it would be a fun experience and a way to get closer to the one you care for so very much and to make the relationship so much close. I truly don't see nothing bad about it even if it looks strange to others," he replied.
Adriel never considered it that way and nodded his head, " I'd never wish it on my enemy...but I don't regret having them. The 'labor' as its called is the worst part. Since ..well males can't birth children they basically thrash around trying to get out. When I was pregnant with Iah...when he wanted out..his tentacles bruised a couple of my ribs in the attempt to get out.." he stated with a worried tone.
"I wouldn't either but it would give them a whole new perspective on things." He replied and winced a little about the whole labor thing, but then he thought it might not be to bad as he did enjoy pain. "Well this one might be different as girls aren’t as physical as boys can be, but you truly don't know and for the fact that you know what to look for as well. So you might not get as thrash as you did before. So don't worry to much," he said with a smile.
Adriel smiled at Ciaran though he couldn't help but worry anyway. It had been...so scary the first time he couldn’t help but be a bit...anxious about his second go around too.
"Thank you Ciaran.." he murmured as he reached door another treat though he was rapidly finding himself not hungry.
"Your welcome, Adriel and thanks for the information as well. It was very helpful," he said as he finished off the last of his drink and didn't think he could eat another bite. "Well if you want any of the left over sweets to take home by all means. I will take a few too,"
Adriel looked to the leftover treats and nodded his head, he couldn't eat anymore for the moment. Though give him fifteen minutes.. "Sounds good. But I better be getting back before my lover thinks I fell in the park." He chuckled as he went to stand up a bit unbalanced.
Ciaran just smiled as he got some togo boxes and packed the rest of the sweets inside and making sure that Adriel had more as there were more at his house than there was at his and he also slipped money for the sweets and a tip. Ciaran stayed close to help his friend if need be. "That sounds like a good idea. I can help you home if you want and here," he said as he handed Adriel the one of the boxes that had the sweets in it.
"Your welcome, Adriel and thanks for the information as well. It was very helpful," he said as he finished off the last of his drink and didn't think he could eat another bite. "Well if you want any of the left over sweets to take home by all means. I will take a few too,"
Adriel looked to the leftover treats and nodded his head, he couldn't eat anymore for the moment. Though give him fifteen minutes.. "Sounds good. But I better be getting back before my lover thinks I fell in the park." He chuckled as he went to stand up a bit unbalanced.
Ciaran just smiled as he got some togo boxes and packed the rest of the sweets inside and making sure that Adriel had more as there were more at his house than there was at his and he also slipped money for the sweets and a tip. Ciaran stayed close to help his friend if need be. "That sounds like a good idea. I can help you home if you want and here," he said as he handed Adriel the one of the boxes that had the sweets in it.
Adriel took the box and he looked at it a bit blankly before he went about helping himself to some of the treats. He would give some to Duncan...and Iah he was sure they would enjoy them.
"Thank you Ciaran I am glad we ran into each other today. I apologize if I was a bit grumpy before."
"Your welcome. I'm glad about that too. Its alright, sometimes it can't be helped," he replied with a smile as he held open the door for Adriel and then followed after him once he was through. "So would you want me to walk with you to your place, to make sure you get there all right?"
Adriel gave a bit of a chuckle as he stood up. Even if his belly was large it wasn't impossible from him to get to point A to B.
"I am not couch bound yet. I am sure I will be fine on my own." He explained with a sage nod of his head.
Ciaran smiled. "Well ok, but you take care of yourself. Maybe we should get together again once you have your little girl. As I would like to see her, if you don't mind," he asked.
Adriel nodded his head thinking that could be a great idea.
"Yes, hopefully her one tentacle isn't as ...angry as Iah's are.' he stated with a half laugh.
"Well do hope for you as well." he said as he tried to picture angry tentacles as he had never see Iah before. "See you later then and hopefully it will be soon that we see each other," he said as he wrote down his phone number on a piece of paper that he had in his pocket and gave it to Adriel. "That is if you ever need a babysitter as well as a way to get a hold of me,"

With Luthor
Luthor was running full out, away from Vampy's office and toward the front door of the Labs, hoping that he was going to be able to catch up with his friend before he got to far ahead. He would leave the grounds if needed but he hoped that he could find him before that since he didn't exactly have the best sense of direction when it came to leaving this place. Anywhere in the Labs he could find with his eyes closed, walking backwards but put himself outside the gate and he was instantly lost... it was a true pain. He slid around a corner, grumbling about tile and bare feet not going very well together before he was once more running. His eyes widened as he spotted the one he was looking for and he pushed himself a bit harder so he could catch him before he got out the front door.
The guy reached a hand out to catch hold of his arm, "Ciaran!" He gasped out, glad that he'd gotten to him in time.
Ciaran had found this class interesting amount of information and some of it just not to his liking. But he did like that he had taken the class with his friend. He knew from looking at Luthor that something was bugging him but he wasn't going to pry if he didn't want to say. Ciaran was a little sad when the class was over and Luthor was called somewhere, as he wanted to talk with his friend about somethings that were on his mind. Walking from the classroom deep in thought and he didn't even hide as he walked to the front of the labs to go home.
He was almost to the front door when he felt a hand reach for his arm and a familiar voice attached to it. Turning to see Luthor there a little out of breath and he smiled. "Hi, Luthor." he answered with his tail wagging behind him a little.
"You... why did..." He paused for a moment, tilting his head back to work on catching breath before he tried again, "You are... going with Vampy? Why would you go on a trip with him?" He demanded, his tone filled with worry and a bit of fear. He couldn't let him go, he didn't trust Vampy any farther then he could throw the guy which he was sure wouldn't be that far were he to try.
Ciaran was defiantly very caught off guard at the question his friend had asked him and was a little stumped for words as he tried to come up with an answer. He also grew nervous as his tail stopped wagging behind him as he tried to answer the question. "I wanted to test myself to the limits of what my magic could do." he said as Ciaran couldn't look Luthor in the face right now. "I don't like the idea that Vampy is taking us, but I wanted to know what I could do without hurting those I care for. I'm not really strong enough to be a physical fighter all I have is my magic and I want to use it to be able to protect those I care for. I have very little control over my magic right now and I can feel that it has the potential to be strong. Also I would like to at least see hell once too, not many will be able to say that they have," he added not really knowing what to else to say. Ciaran cared for Luthor and he didn't want to accidentally hurt him if his own magic decided to back fire.
"Ciaran..." His hand tightened for a moment on Ciaran's arm, he didn't want for him to go, "You can't go Ciaran... you don't know what could happen." He whispered, "Going with Vampy, its dangerous... he isn't a good person, you must know that!" He wanted to go for the sake of his magic? To test himself? He took a step back and seemed to be floudering, his little wings flapping rapidly behind him. He wanted to talk him out of it, to figure out a way to get him to agree not to go along but his friend seemed so set to go despite the fact that they were going to be led to Hell...
Ciaran felt Luthor tighten his grip and felt that he didn't want him to go and Ciaran knew he had every right to try and stop him. "I know I shouldn't, Luthor. But sometimes in my dreams another me keep on taunting me on how things could happen if I don't except what I am, a spawn of the demon of Envy. To always want something that I don't have, to not always be happy with what I have and to not to always be happy about myself." he said looking at Luthor sadly. "Ever since I was little I coveted to maybe one day I would get wings, like those I have seen in those I have met. That is one of the big reasons I went insane and hurt myself, that I would never get wings...I need to know if I can work my magic to were I won't be envious of those who can." he said as he watched Luthor take a back and saw that Luthor might fall he quickly braced Luthor and have him a quick hug too. "I know its also dangerous, but its also dangerous outside of the labs too even if it doesn't look it. Also its not like I'm going alone with him I saw that there were others that signed up as well." he added kept a hold on Luthor.
Luthor's eyes widened a little as he spoke and he closed his wings tightly against his back and felt a little guilty, he'd never wanted wings, never really considered that he might end up with them... and yet he had. Then there was Ciaran who wanted them so badly but couldn't get them despite his desires. He felt a bit bad at the strange irony in it. He felt a bit of camaraderie with him though as it seemed both of them were struggling with the magical aspect of their being. He blinked, a little surprised when he found himself suddenly getting pulled into Ciaran's arms, "Ciaran... I just... don't want to see you get hurt." He murmured before he took a step closer to his friend and wrapped his arms around him, clinging to him in a manner that was normal for him and the fact that he often forgot about personal space when it came to his friends.
"There... is there... no way to keep you from going?" He murmured quietly, his head resting on his friend's feathery shoulder so that he didn't risk poking him with his horn.
Ciaran relaxed a little as Luthor rested his head on his shoulder as he started to pet his wings. "I don't want to get hurt either, but it is a part of life. Even if I didn't go some day I would get hurt and trust me my magic does like to backfire, I have shocked myself a few times because of it." he said softly back as Ciaran didn't have a concept of personal space and like be close with his friends. "No there isn't, I'm sorry Luthor. I want to know what I can do and I think the people in town wont like it very much if I accidentally blow something up with my magic," he replied back as he held onto Luthor tighter as Ciaran always felt safer with his friend around as he rested his own head on top of Luthor's.
The sensation of having his wings pet by Ciaran had him relaxing a bit and he let his light blue eyes sink closed and he tilted his head so that he could listen to the sound of his friend's breathing before he gave a little nod of his head, "If... there is no way to talk you out of it..." He murmured, then he drew back to look at Ciaran, "If you insist on going then I am going too." He was a little ticked off as he was sure that Vampy would be laughing his a** off when Luthor went along despite his wanting nothing more then to let the guy go himself to wander about in Hell where he belonged.
A part of him didn't want this moment to end it was so nice and peaceful. He listened to what Luthor said. "You don't have to go if you don't want to. I don't want to make you go," he answered as he also looked around and saw a few techs that were watching and then trying to look busy when Ciaran spotted them. "Also is there a more private place were we can continue on talking? I see we have a few very noisy techs around," he said with a smile that he would shock them to leave.
Luthor gave a little growl when he realized those techs were about, bastards... they were no doubt going to go back to report to Vampy with the information they were gathering he thought to himself before nodding, "Yeah, we can go to the rooms I share with my Dad and Pepper." He said, turning to lead the way. He wanted to keep talking with his friend but if there were spies about the only place they wouldn't go was in his room. It was a short walk between the area near the front door to the rooms that they shared, it was rather simple and only had a large bed off to one side and a table with some chairs at the other. It was sparse but it was home, once Ciaran came inside he closed and locked the door after him.
Ciaran had a very good look at those techs and sometime later he would give them a shock for being noisy as in his mind they all deserve it. "Ok," he answered and followed Luthor to the rooms. "Don't worry about the techs, sometime I will give them there just deserts." he said to Luthor in a hushed voice with a smile added to it. Ciaran thought the room was very cute and very practical. "Don't worry about me being envious of your wings, for the most part I'm over it and find that your wings look best on you and some of my other friends." he said once they were in the room.
He looked over at his friend before walking over to sit down on the bed before he gave his friend a little smile, "They deserve it. I kind of miss chasing them with Pepper but he's been a bit out of sorts of late." He murmured, wings giving a little flutter as they became the target of conversation. He shrugged, "I... am glad, I wouldn't want to possess something that bothered you." He told Ciaran then motioned to him to come and sit down with him.
"When ever I come to the labs I make sure I shock a few of them as you are very right about that," he said as he thought of what Pepper had told him and for what they didn't do to help him and for the fact he also hid in the shadow when he did it too. "It might have when I was young, but I had a lot of thinking time when I was insane. Its something you very much don't want to ever happen," he said as he came and sat down next to his friend.
Luthor leaned against his friend and then gave him a smile, his hand petting over the pretty blue feathers that Ciaran had on his shoulder, "Your feathers are very pretty." He told his friend not thinking that Ciaran was in need of wings at all. Though as he thought on the comment it made him flush a little, "Or should I call them handsome?" He wasn't sure exactly, he didn't know if Ciaran wanted to be called pretty. He let his eyes close as he nuzzled against the feathers. He didn't look forward to the journey tomorrow, not in the least, many factors of it put him off but... he would go to look after Ciaran. He wasn't going for Vampy and he sure hoped the guy knew as much.
Ciaran purred a little as Luthor petted his feathers as it was defiantly something new feeling as his shoulder feather were still very new for him too. "Thanks," he said as he blushed a little. "Pretty or handsome is all the same thing to me, just say what your more comfortable in saying. Anyways your wings are pretty too. They are colored like your hair and your eyes," he said as his tail tip gave a small wag and not moving much as his friend nuzzled his feather. "If you want I could stay the night."
He lifted his head from Ciaran's shoulder, gazing up at him, "Would you?" He murmured, sounding a bit surprised by the offer, he did kind of like the idea, "I would like that Ciaran." It would make him better, to have a calm moment before the unknown of the journey to Hell with Vampy at the lead.
Ciaran warmly smiled back. "Yes I would." he answered back as he got closer to Luthor. "I would too, as I have yet to tell Sokan about it and I know he won't be too happy about it either." Ciaran added as he thought a quick run home to get some things and tell Sokan as Ciaran knew that Sokan wouldn't stop him but still want to wish him well. Ciaran also wanted some calm too to were his dreams wouldn't bug him.
He gave a happy smile as he relaxed against him once more, "It sounds nice... I really would like it if you stayed." He told him, wrapping his arms around one of Ciaran's arms before he let his eyes closed, "I am so exhausted... I always end up so on edge whenever I have to deal with Vampy. When I am done dealing with him I am always left looking at myself and him... and I have the things he sees and points out, things he says we have in common." He gave a sighing sound, he didn't want to be anything like Vampy but to have the guy seemed at the moment to want to make him the same.
Ciaran half closed his eyes and purred a little. "I will stay, so don't worry," he murmured to Luthor. "I bet, I don't think that I have met him, but I bet you wish that he won't point those out and just leave you alone. "Just because you might have things in common doesn't mean you the same and there is nothing he can do to change that. I like you the way you are, so kind and considerate," he said as Ciaran just wanted to make sure to comfort Luthor and to protect him too.
"That is nice of you to say, so different from what he said about me." He murmured, not liking at all that Vampy was getting to him in such a way. The guy seemed a master of mind games. He gave a smile before he let himself lay down on the bed, hands still holding onto Ciaran's arm in manner that was somewhat innocent and childish. Luthor was a bit uncertain about a lot of things and there was still a lot that he didn't understand despite his age, "I am sorry for being so grouchy with you earlier Ciaran... I shouldn't have come straight to seeing you after dealing with Vampy." Though he was glad he had as the end result was him having a friend sleep over.
Ciaran smiled at the comment. "Well maybe its because he just wants to see what he wants and not the whole picture. He might think he know you, but he is very wrong only those that are close to you know what you are truly like," he said as his tail tip continued to wag. "No worries you were only concerned. You don't want to see Sokan grumpy, he looks like he would talk your face off if you said something wrong to him." he replied with a little giggle smile. "I'm very glad that you are my friend, Luthor."
The white haired spawn relaxed a bit more and his little wings gave a small flutter behind him as his friend assured him that it was alright, he relaxed further, "I am glad we are friends too, Ciaran." He murmured, one of his two friends and one of three people he truly cared about. It scared him a little at times because he knew and cared for so few people he wanted so badly to take care of them, to push himself and do anything and everything possible to do so.
Ciaran smiled as his tail gave a full wag. He was so very happy as there weren't very many others that he deeply cared for and would do anything for them, Luthor was very much one of them along with a few others. "Well since we talk about magic, the element that I can wield very badly at is lighting," he said as he took his other hand that Luthor wasn't hold onto and made a little amount arc in his hand.
Luthor opened up his eyes to gaze at the arc of energy in Ciaran's and he pushed himself up so that he could better look at it, "Neat... my... magic, its kind of odd. I don't know exactly what it is called..." He murmured, reaching up to take the pen from behind his ear and looked it over, "This is the item that I channel the power through." He showed it to Ciaran and there was a faint, purple glow that wrapped first around the item and then the rest of Luthor, making his hair look as though it were lifting and floating up in the air slightly.
Holding the lighting for a little longer for Luthor to look at before he let it fizzle away as he didn't want it to get a mind of it own and shock Luthor. Ciaran looked the pen over and found it cool and a nifty way of using magic and then seeing the glow and hair lifting up and Ciaran thought that was very cool. "I think that is very nifty." he said as he poked at Luthor's floating hair. "Mine if used in larger quantities has a very good chance of backfiring and I shock myself too," he added.
Luthor tucked it behind his ear again before he nodded, "Yeah, same with mine. Magic sees a bit difficult at times, doesn't it?" He murmured, laying down once more before he reached a hand out to pet the feathery poof at the end of Ciaran's tail. As he relaxed and after the pen was put away the purple glow faded away and his hair settled again, "Have you hurt yourself badly with the power?" He sounded worried again.
"It does, but that just might be because we are still youngish and need more practice or we just have difficult magic that likes to stump us," he replied as it was one word that Sokan had used when he had shown his water weaving to Ciaran. Ciaran moved his tail to where Luthor could pet it when he was laying down. "No I haven't, the most it been like a stronger version of static electricity, it stings for a sec and then its over with," he replied not really telling the whole truth as there were a few times it had really hurt, but that was because he had open wounds, but he didn't want to worry Luthor about it. "I haven't used it to the amount to were it could potential hurt me. Just little doses."
"Heh, yeah. I would almost believe that magic is meant to stump people a little." He said, his hand moving over the pen in a gentle manner as though he were trying to sooth the magic in some manner. He gave a smile when Ciaran's tail got closer to him and he pet it more, "I am glad to hear that your magics hasn't hurt you to much." He said, he was rather lucky himself that his magic hadn't punished him for some of the wishes that he'd granted but it would seem that so long as he did right by his powers instead of walking a darker path like Vampy did he would be alright. Not that he wanted to push his luck...
He held his arms out to Ciaran, "Lay down and rest with me? Who knows how earlier Vampy will want us to be up to get on our way."
Ciaran knew that it would be a lot of work to get his raging beast of magic to calm down and to behave the way it should. "I am too, I wouldn't want to blow things up, but I have left a few char marks in floors," he said as he remember the first time he had used it and blew up a tree, the poor tree but it was neat to see it do it anyways.
Seeing Luthor hold his hands out to him he purred as he knew it was a little selfish to feel wanted, but to him it was a lot better than being forgotten. "Okay and I think that you are right. I can see him being a really early riser and not letting others get there sleep," he replied back. Taking one of Luthor's hands in his as he laid down as close as he could next to his friend and not thinking on much as he like the closeness and the contact with his friend. He thought it was a little selfish to be very close with his friend, but to his mind it was a lot better than being forgotten.

Dream of White
Solo RP
Jerking awake only to find himself with in a large white room all around. “This isn’t where I wanted to end up!” he screamed and there wasn’t even an echo in a large room that it appeared to be. Ciaran looked around to also find that there wasn’t even a door present at all and as he looked at himself there wasn’t a mark on his body from the explosion and wearing just his pants still. No straight jacket or any techs around that he could see, just lots of whiteness. Standing up to see if he could find something in this weird place and if there was a way out. From the last thing he could remember he was teleported back to the Hospitable ward back at the labs very wounded and still insane, but he thought to why wasn’t he insane right now as he could feel that other self as it felt like it wasn’t there or sleeping. This felt nice as he could always feel it lurking around in his head just waiting for a good time appear in his life.
Walking around to find no end to the whiteness as he wondered if he was going to get out of this place as it reminded him way to much of the room he spent a good deal of time in within the labs. Loneliness was something that Ciaran didn’t like as it always make him feel that he was forgotten. He didn’t like this room as it brought back memories that he just wanted to forget. “Will all of this just go away!!” he yelled as he just wanted something different, not to be haunted by these memories.
Then he heard some faint giggling that he thought might be coming from the comment that he just said. “Who ever is there come out!” he demanded. Ciaran wanted to know who was mocking him or to who even put him in this place. He didn’t want to be locked in here forever and be forgotten. That was one of his fears and he didn’t want to live it.
Still more giggling but it was closer now.
“What is so funny?”
“You are,” the voice answered.
“And to why?”
“This is one place that you don’t want to be because of what happened but why do you push those memories away when they are part of who you are,” the voice said with a mocking tone.
“Because it reminds me of all of what I’m afraid and I don’t want to feel that way. I want to be strong to protect those I care about,”
“But for that you happen you first have to except all of yourself to then protect those you care about. You also have to except that you do have a crazy side of yourself,”
“I don’t have a crazy side, that only happens when I get too stressed out,” Ciaran replied with a huff as he didn’t like going crazy as he didn’t know if he would resurface from it if it happened again, as that was another fear he had.
“But it’s still apart of whom you are despite you not likening it. You should embrace it as it could be lots of help when you need it,”
“I do not need help from that. I don’t want to!”
“Its still part of you and you can’t get rid of it no matter how hard to you try to forget,” the voice said all sugary.
“No its not. That only happened when I learned that I wouldn’t be getting the one thing that I wanted the most,”
“You have to truly except yourself of what you truly are in the whole to even understand to what you are capable of doing. You only know a fraction of what your power could become,”
“What you do you mean?” Ciaran asked but this time there was no reply just the white stillness. “What do you mean?!!” he yelled as he was very frustrated with this voice as he wanted to know. As he did want control over his magic and wanted to know why it was so fickle.

Guardian Entry 1
2-26-10
Well when I first agreed to take care of Ciaran it was just going to be for a little bit until I taught him to take care of himself. After that I was going to head back on my way into deeper hiding from my enemies. But lets just say that I got attached to him more than I thought I would. But I like teaching him and the one friend I met is very nice too. Tho right now I should give a piece of my mind to that kid for running of to Hell and not telling me. I was so worried to where he had gotten to after a few day until I got a phone call from him saying that he got hurt and doesn't know when he will be home. So me and him are going to have a little talk when he does. As I would like to know when he going to do that type of thing were I can worry less. I do wonder to why I feel like a parent of some sort, well maybe its becasue I care and he really doesn't have a parent type that he respects anymore. So I will be there when ever he need me, like a parent should.

Journal Entry 4
3-1-10
It has been a long time writing well I would say my Journal, but that is at home so I'm just writing on some paper I got while I'm stitting borad out of my mind in the Hostable Ward at the Labs. I don't like being at the labs but at least Aden is nice and is the one takeing care of me as I was banged up really good. I got a visit from Luthor and we had a nice talk until Aden came back with my dinner, then I saw a very angry Pepper and we talk things out. I also gave Sokan a call and he didn't seam all that happy when I called about me getting hurt and going to hell. I do know that I will be getting a talk from him as I know he dosen't or at least like some types of Demons. So I be faring well and cant wait to get out of this bed and do other things that sit here and to get out of the Labs too. Well talk with you later Journal I hear that Aden is comming back and I don't want him to read this, so laters.
~Ciaran
