"Ah..." Alice looked up at the bird lady and the cat, blinking a few times before looking to Reeve. He was out of it... who was this woman?
She frowned, letting go of Reeve;'s hand and backing away. "I'll go out the back... you seem... busy... Reeve..." She muttered before running off.

Aven flutters her wings slightly but remains covered.
"Yes, for now."

"Where is she?"
Reeve crosses his arms, feeling defensive and at the same time, vulnerable. "We saw the blood...you're okay, right?"

"She's resting still. I'm fine, wanting to rest still, but fine."
The cat meows softly and stares down at Reeve.
"She'll be fit to return in a couple more days."

"Go rest, Aven," Reeve says with an old softness. "It was enough seeing what you went through to get here last time..."

"Are you referring to the the blood on the porch?"

Aven chuckles softly.
"That wasn't from coming here. Tell me, have you ever tried to tie down a youkai or sedate one?"
She sighed again and rubbed her arm.
"That blood was from what your wife did to me."

"I figured that much. But to exert yourself while so injured..." Reeve trails off, looking up at her. "Why now? Why did you come back now?"

"Because I know how you worry. I wanted to make sure and tell you in person when she was being returned to you."
Aven's wings tightened around her some as she slouched.
"I think I'll rest now though. She'll be back to you soon."

"Thank you, Aven," Reeve says, trying not to let too much relief sink into his words. "If you'd like to rest here, the dojo is yours..."

"No, I'm not welcome there. Here is fine. Tobias will watch over me. Good night, Reeve."
The last few words were barely audible as she had started drifting off to sleep mid sentence.

..."What? Who said-"
He stops as he sees her fall asleep. Unsure what to do, he stands there a few moments, watching her.

"Who were you talking about, Reeve...?" Alice asking cautiously before inside the dojo. She had been in the building sneaking about for far too long.
"Can we go hang out now...?" She asked as she moved behind him, her eyes watching the area carefully.

Reeve takes a step back, looking up at Aven and the cat.
"I suppose...don't expect me to be much joy, though..."
