Welcome to Gaia! ::

If it where not for her worry she might of flustered over the fact he kept chanting her name like he was just now learning it. It hurt her to see him so much in obvious pain. Even though he tried to hide it. She nearly chuckled when he collapsed and bounced right back. Stubborn as hell. Again..if she had not been so worried.

She scolded softly as her hand reached out to touch his chest, something she would not do so bravely any other time. There was no push. No shove. More like a soft press of her fingertips to urge him to sit. "No I will not let you heal me Taizen. It nearly took all you had to heal Taikai. And..I do not want you to collaspe from over exhausting yourself. You are doing more then enough of that as is. Now sit down and off of that leg! If you don't.. I will go check on Kurai and Fulgar while Nayll takes care of your wounds." Hahhahaah a threat! Though she did not exactly know what happened between Fulgar and Taizen, she still kind of feared going near Kurai and Fulgar. But...she still needed to make sure they where okay. That they where being treated. She didn't know..nor realize that Taizen wanted her away from them..away from danger. She didn't realize that Cain had been 'unleashed'. About everything that had gone on between Cain and Taizen. She just figured that Fulgar had been..as brutal as Kurai had been. After all..he was Kurai's teacher.

"Ah..ahem..M-Miss Niima.."

She turned away from Taizen quickly when hearing Nayll, her cheeks nearly going crimson red. She smiled sheepishly and scurried over to Nayll, taking the tray of items she had requested. She was very careful not to spill the two bowls of water though she had to literally balance the tray on one hand. And apparently..forgot about hiding her back from Taizen as well. But her long, titan hair helped conceal part of the marred flesh.

"Thank you, Nayll. I'll take it over from here. You go rest.."

Nayll seemed to reluctantly release the tray to her one hand. But hey..she was good at balancing so the tray was no problem! He would nod and retreat, closing the door behind him. Her head tilted and she sighed faintly. Eventually she turned and moved towards the table and chair in the room. Using her hip she began to move the chair across the floor, trying to be as quiet as possible. Once the chair was near Taizen's bed she would settle the tray down on the seat. Digging through the stuff she would find the small container of salve. Dipping her first finger into it she drew the ointment across the cut on her eyelid, closing the flesh with the ointment so the bleeding would stop. Once done she would carefully wipe the blood away from her eye so she could use both to see what she was doing. She sighed a bit, knowing well by now Taizen had seen some part of her back and had a hint of how bad it was. She also knew he would more then likely flip out if he knew about her broken arm. What to do...

Eventually she would look over to Taizen and smile almost..pleadingly. "Come on..lets get you tended to so you can rest.." She knew..very well..he was still going to give her a hard time about it. And truthfully she wasn't sure how much longer she could say 'no'. She wanted to be strong and help him..but at the same time he wanted to help her..someone was going to eventually have to give in. But she was determind to tend his wounds. To see his pain eased..

(Have you been reading my thoughts? I've been planning on a Raven and a Wolf as familiars, I dropped the Raven though. xd )

In truth she was pushing herself but despite her pain and exhaustion she was determind to help him. He said he would protect her and alothough she knew he pretyt much didn't mean it, she still wanted to alteast be able to help him. She had plenty of pain in her past and she would do like she had always done...burn herself into collasping. Specially when it came to him. She cared for him which in a way..worried her. Everyone she ever cared for died because of her. What if the same fate happened on Taizen and Taikai? Maybe that was what pushed her to be so stubborn at this moment. A worry of losing him. And it was a strong force of will.

"And your leg.." She pointed out as he tried to lie about his arm being the only wound. Her eyes softened as she looked at him. Somewhat from being tired and the other part being..she didn't want to fight him at this moment. A small smile crept to her lips. "Alright. How about this. I will let you heal me..alteast as much as you can. But you cannot pass out. And when you hit that brink you will stop and let me tend to your wounds..okay?" It sounded fair right?

For a split moment her mind wandered. What did he look like with his hair down? Without even realizing she reached forward and tucked a few of his bangs behind his ear, trying to get a better view of his face. He definately didn't look as if he had been tossed in the ground as much as her. She probably looked much like a street rat at this point..When it did hit her what she was doing her hand retreated, fingers curling into her palm. She looked over toward Taikai, making sure she hadn't been 'caught'. Knowing the old man he would cheerfully point it out. She would look back down to Taizen after a few moments, awaiting his answer.

Kurai entered the room and tipped a glass to his lips. He choked on it for a moment before swallowing. He took his eyes off the boy for a moments time to look at Kurai, "you need rest too, Kurai, please dont exert yourself on my account we have nurses here to tend to me. And you." He grabbed the cup from her hands a shiver going through him at her brief touch. Pathetic, he was.

(uggh.. short.)

Fulgar let out a small laugh his face squeezing shut from the pain in his sides, "you said your name just before I lost consciousness." He explained smiling kindly, his smile failed before he began to explain further "you can tell I am not Cain now by a few subtle differences," pulling down his lower eye lid he continued, "my eyes would have changed from brown to a rather striking, and rather frightening lightning blue, and I would more than likely have a smile on my face that reflects my madness." Fulgar's smile returned a warm radiance came from his obviously pained features. "Killing you would have solved nothing! Nothing at all! Cain cares about no one but himself, and trying to satisfy his unquenchable thirst for carnal experience, killing you would only excite and provoke him there is no cause to what he does."

Lifting an arm slowly he turned it into a fist and a flame erupted above it flickering then dieing "I am a firebender, as is the beautiful Kurai, here." He tried to flick his head to point to her but it hurt to much so he simply turned his eyes and hoped the boy would understand. "My name is Fulgar Acheron I'm 21 years of age and I am, if I may say so, a rather powerful bender"

Fulgar noticed the boy stand up straighter and put his hands behind his back "you need not do that, questions are good, ask away! Cain Ira will snap your neck, not me."

After Lee had rested and began to walk around the temple. He was fascinated by the architecture and all the life around the temple. It took so long to get to the temple that Lee hadn't spared with another bender for a while. So he thought that maybe one of the monks here would train with him. "Hello. Is anyone here?" Lee yelled.

She really didn't want to let Taizen heal her, knowing fully well that he was already exhausted from his fight..and his past healings. Her smile wavered as he promised. She was obviously still worried...

Like a good lil patient she stood waiting for his attempt, her mismatched eyes watching every movement he made. It still amazed her that he could heal. She watched the water form around his hand, craddling close to his flesh like a glove. Almost jealous of his show of bending. Why couldn't air be so easy to show off?

Silently she begged him not to push himself as he took up her hand. Such gentleness she was not expecting but even so she flinched somewhat as he moved her broken arm. A crimson shade crept to her pale cheeks as she watched in a sense of awe as the water shined so brilliant..none like she had ever seen. She did not feel her wounds mend, mostly because..well..she was focused on the warming sensation. It was..comforting. Like the arms of someone hugging you close. Protective...

And though her wounds would act on accord, healing as Taizen willed, her attention went square focus on Taizen, expecially when her eyes rose to his face to aknowledge her awe of his artful bending. To see his eyes..glazed over like he was in lala land..Is he daydreaming while healing me?! That can't be good..It was a worry that his healing could backlash and make things worst. And it was when he started panting that she tugged lightly to retrieve her hand from his grasp, awe replaced with pure concern. "T-Taizen stop." Her eyes began to water in guilt. She had hurt him with allowing him to do this! She felt a lump in her throat as she quickly sat down on the bed next to him and grasped his hands, hoping to bring him into a better focus of being. "I'm sorry Taizen..Please..Please ..rest now..?" She was cursing away at herself for allowing him to exhaust himself so. To the point..he was barely able to draw breath. Could he kill himself healing? Oh gods! Did she almost kill him?! Wanna see Niima have panic attack..well she surely was having one now.
