Frowning, Calysta nods as she feels her own half stir "It seems we both must part. And just as we were having fun." leaning in she brushes her lip over his "This will not be the last Vartoon, you will see me again soon." slipping from his lap, she moves back to the side of the bed she knew Tinania was on.
Laying on her side, she looks up at Vartoon sighing for a moment. Closing her eyes, she smiles as she thinks of the fun she'll be having once again. Slipping back over to sleep, she allows Tinania to take control once again.
Her breathing steady, Tinania winces as she rolls to lay on her side. She didn't want to wake just yet.

Vartoon did not have quite as easy a time of it, his other half not so much gently waking as forcefully kicking him back into the void of their mind where, at least for the moment, he knew no more.
Zhane awoke with a start on the floor of the bedroom, from a bizarre nightmare he couldn't recall as he quickly took inventory of everything around him. The first thing to strike him was that he was sore. He ached, he stung, he burned....all at once.
Biting his lip, he moved to sit up, giving a pained grunt. What had he -done- to himself? Had he really hit the floor that hard and somehow not woken up...?
Using the edge of bed as leverage, he pulled himself up on watery legs that threatened to buckle out from beneath him and dragged himself back onto the mattress where he collapsed unceremoniously beside Nani in a heap.
Ow...

Wincing from Zhane's movement, Tinania opens her eyes as she glares at Zhane. Pulling the blanket over her head, she grumbles as she rolls away from him. With her back facing him, she attempts to fall back asleep her. She was so sore it was crazy. She didn't do that much last night, as Zhane still wanted to be careful, and she agreed.
Along her back were fresh claw marks that drag from her shoulder blade, just under her wings to the lower part of her back. They were raw and red just like the bite marks on her shoulder.

As she muttered and turned on her side away from him, he reached out to stroke her back soothingly, to wordlessly apologize for the intrusion, but he hadn't exactly meant to wind up on the floor and--
He blinked, his fingertips meeting an irregularity in the smoothness of her skin and making him look to see what it was. His eyes widened.
"Nani...??" he whispered, forcing himself to sit up. What had happened? Was she all right??

Shaking her head, she yawns before she frowns again. Wincing as she rolls onto her back, she opens her eyes as she looks up at him "Hmmm?" wincing again, she decide to lay on her side facing him. "Zhane why does my back feel like its on fire?"
She just wanted to go back to sleep, as she felt like she hadn't slept at all. Closing her eyes, she sighs before she attempts to sit up. That however see to hurt even more.

"Because you're all--" Gored he wanted to say "--scratched up." he settled for instead. It sounded less alarming. She didn't look like she was bleeding at least....
As he reached out to more closely examine what looked to be a bitemark at the base of her shoulder, his eyes fell to his own arm, on which there were several criss-crosses of scratches, nearly identical to the ones on Nani's back.
They didn't look like they had been done by animal claws so much as they had been done by fingernails....
His mind raced, trying to recall their activities before sleeping. They had been careful. They hadn't wanted to take chances. So what, in the HELL explained this?

Tinania blinks a few times before she looks at Zhane, then down at his arm. Lifting her hand, she brushes her fingers over the marks as she shakes her head "I did not leave any marks on you, least I don't think I did." she tries to think back to last nights events.
They were gentle with each other, not once did that scratch each other. Shaking her head, she moves her hand to her stomach as she suddenly felt very sick.

He screwed his eyes shut, bringing his fingers to his temples to rub at them, the gesture moreso to keep a grip on himself than the idea it did him any good.
"Do you think maybe we just...." he fished for the right way to word it, but realized it would sound stupid no matter how it was said. ".....don't remember it or something?" It was unlikely that BOTH of them would have attacked one another in a fit of sleep-induced passion. It was even more unlikely that roughing each other up wouldn't have awoken them.
....god he was tired.

Tinania shakes her head as she frowns, finding what he said foolish. She remembered last night very well, and knew she left no marks on Zhane. Chewing on her bottom lip, she frowns as she laughs to herself "No way..." she mutters under her breath before she looks up at Zhane.
She falls quiet as she seems to seek within herself, towards the other half of her. When she finds her asleep, as she should be she takes another deep breath. This soreness was all to familiar now, but she was sleeping.
Shaking her head, she lays back against her pillow as she looks up at the ceiling "Maybe you're right, maybe we forgot..?"

Zhane rubbed at one of the webs of red lines on his arm, wincing a bit as he did so, though he quirked a brow at her in curiosity. Her body language only a moment ago seemed to suggest she was going to argue with him before she'd simply just resigned to agreement.
Did she know something he didn't...?
He reached up to brush sweat-matted hair from his eyes, his forehead immediately exploding in agony as he did so. The skin around the rune there was angry and red, making him yelp to even touch it as he jerked his hand away.

Tinania eyes widen as she sat up, bringing her hands to lightly touch his cheeks in worry. Looking over his face, she frowns as she eyes the rune. Frowning, she slips off the bed as she moves towards the master bathroom "I'm gonna run a shower for you, and while you're in it, I'm gonna look something up in my books. Maybe I can find something that can heal these cuts we have, and take the pain off those runes of yours."
She knew she shouldn't be worrying, as it was stressing her out. However, Zhane's reaction just now woke her up, and made her realize that she had to do something.
Turning the hot water on to full blast, she runs her hand through it as she adjust it witht he cold water.

"Nani, its all right. I can--" but she was already out of the room. He sighed, sitting up and scooting out of the bed to stand. His muscles sang in protest as he crossed the room and he found what he really wanted to do right now was curl up, sores be damned, and try to sleep it off.
But that wouldn't do him any good at the moment if Tinania was awake and worried.
Before leaving the bedroom to put himself in the shower she was preparing, he stopped to eye his reflection in the dresser mirror. His entire forehead looked sunburnt, exactly the way it had when the runes had first been applied to him.
What had happened...? His mind working furiously, snatching at the tails of answers that hung just out of reach, he backed away from the mirror, shaking his head as he ducked into the bathroom.

Sitting on the edge of the tub, Tinania glances up at him as she frowns alittle "I wasn't sure how you like the water, so I set it to what I normally take a shower in." Standing slowly, she continues to look at his forehead frowning. She didn't like how it look at all, and frankly it was worrying her more then her own scratches at this point.
"Maybe I have some Witch Hazel, it might take the red off of that Rune." turning towards the door, she pauses as she shakes her head "Zhane...I'm sorry if I did any of that to you...."

A hand reached beyond her to test the spray with his fingertips, finding it an agreeable temperature. As she spoke again, though, to apologize he turned from the shower to blink at her in confusion.
"You're just as marked up as I am." he said. "So I've got just as much to be sorry for."
He didn't need her blaming herself. Especially when they didn't even know what it was, exactly, that had happened. He gave her a smile that tried not to look as drained as he felt, choosing a spot on her shoulder that was not marred with teeth or nail marks to lay his hand on.
"It'll be fine, okay...? We'll figure it out."

Tinania nods alittle before she lifts her hand, to run it through her hair. Without saying a word, she slips out of the room as she heads back into her own. Shaking her head, she looks around the room for a moment, only to arch a brow at the vial laying at the foot of her bed.
Kneeling down, she picks it up then stands again. Turning it in her hand, she feels the color drain from her face as she reads the label Pennyroyal and Evening Primrose. Moving her hand to her stomach, she shakes her head as she drops the vial to the floor again.
Covering her mouth, she swallows the bile that rises quickly. The vial was empty, as she glances towards her cabinet she feels herself trembling as she drops to her knees.
She couldn't have....no she wouldn't have...
