(( blaugh ))
She watched with a smile as he turned from her, only to look back at her. She stopped patting his face when he reached up to her, Lura flinched softly when his fingers brushed lightly against her cheek. She looked down at him, slightly confused at his behaver.
"Agaio..." he continued to caress her face with his warm fingers. She didn't know whether to pull away or sit still. What had come over him?
"I'm either dead...or in Nirvana..." he muttered. Lura's mouth almost hung open in awe. Was this the fever talking? Or Agaio. She tried to speak, only to have his thumb brush over her lips. She looked him in the eyes, they seemed differant.
"You're deffinatly not Dead." she stated, her lips moving under his thumb. She gently took hold of his wrist and led his hand down to his chest. "And you're not in Nirvana, sorry to say. You're just tired, and you have a fever." She leaned over him to pull the blanket up to his chin, his one arm still out from under the cloth. She was nervous now, and talking made her feel better. "Is your leg alright?"

(( Haha, he's going to regret this so bad when he wakes up completely. XD ))
Agaio smiled weakly at the feel of her lips moving beneath his thumb. He was disappointed when she pulled his hand away. The room shifted oddly, and her voice seemed to be coming from too different directions. He heard her words, but barely comprehended them. He only understood her tone, gentle and conversational. When had been the last time someone had spoken to him like this? It felt like forever. He wasn't used to kindness, though he felt he rather enjoyed it.
He realized quite suddenly that he recognized her. At least, he had a name for her. He tried it out, relishing the way it rolled off his tongue. "Lura..." She leaned over him and his heart sped up, impossibly fast. He liked being close to her. He could feel the heat coming off her body as she held herself over him. He desperately wanted to kiss her.
And what the heck. Why not?
"Your name..." He mumbled distractedly, then made an effort to sit up. He pushed himself up onto his elbow, the blanket sliding down to his waist. He wore no shirt, revealing a handsomely muscled chest with a few scratches and scars scattered over his flesh. "I know you..." He babbled distantly. He was cold suddenly. She could warm him up. Dazed, but purposed, he reached for her, drew her closer, and pressed his lips softly against her own, completely wrapped up in his own fevered fantasy.
(( Ah, poor guy. XD He's lived so long being hated by everyone that her first show of kindness has him twitter-pated. XP ))

((lol, poor delusional Agaio...he'll be so confused.))
Lura cocked an eyebrow when he said her name. "Yes? Is there something wrong?"
"Your name..." and weakly he sat up. Normaly Lura would have been flush red at the site of a mans bare chest, especialy Agaio's, all scarred, muscled and toned; only thank god she had gotten over it the night before as she had tended his wounds. "I know you..." he said weakly, dazed, dilusional. She sighed.
"Of course you know me, we met days ago, now lay down." she comanded sweetly, gently pushing him down by his shoulders. Only he caught her by surprise as he took her in his arms and pulled her toward him, pressing his fevered lips against hers.
Lura was in shock, she sat still, puzzling what had just happened to gether, it took her moments to make up her mind and attempt to pull away. "Agaio..." she gently pushed him down to the bed and sat up. "Please behave yourself."

Again, her words flew over his head. He heard only her tone, which was still gentle, if slightly admonishing. He lay for a moment with his long black hair splayed out on the pillow, his chest rising and falling rather heavily.
"No..." He moaned childishly, feeling slighted by her pushing him away. He attempted to reach for her again, desperate for the comfort and security she was offering him. He wanted to feel her against him again, real and warm and kind. He was obviously subconciously starved for comfort and companionship, and in his ill mind that translated to hunger for romance.

Lura tried so hard to refrain him, and controle her nerve racked pounding heart. What was going on with this guy? It had to be the fever, he had only days before struck her, treated her terribly, and now he's pulling her toward him and kissing her.
He was breathing heavily, acting childishly, reaching for her. She was slightly scared, the fever was taking over. "Agaio just behave and let me treat you." she didn't know if she was being smart, to continue to sit beside him and pat his fever ridden body down with the damp cloth, while he was topless and in this ill state.
To her thankfull heart, the pot on the fire with the boiling water began to boil over. She quickly sprinted from the chair and Agaio's arms to the soup that she had made. With a second piece of cloth, she pulled the small pot from the fire and placed it on the cold floor beside the fire to cool. She knelt there, wondering if returning would be smart, only to walk back and sit beside Agaio and placed the damp cloth on his forhead.
"I can't believe...this is happening." she muttered softly under her breath.

Luckily for both of them, the fever overcame Agaio and he soon succumbed to sleep, his head rolling to his side and his chest rising and falling in slow, measured breaths. His arm rested above his head, his hair splayed out over the pillow. He actually looked somewhat peaceful when he slept, which was a big change compared to the stiff fierceness that he usually wore like a cloak around him.
Rani decided to show up in the door then, carrying a bundle of stuff. Her eyes widened at the sight of the shirtless, sleeping Agaio. He'd been a bloody mess when she'd last seen him. Now he was absolutely breath-taking. She had never seen anyone so handsome in a rugged, wild sort of way. She stood there in the doorway, mouth slightly agape and cheeks bright pink. "W-wow." She stammered finally. "He's hot."
(( Remember that he's like her ideal prince charming. XD And she's about 16, but obviously acts a lot younger. XP ))

Lura looked down to see a peacfull Agaio, she sighed in relief. She studied him, he looked so angelic, if only he could be like this when he was awake. She brushed her fingers against his cheek, taking the now warm cloth from his forhead and dampening it again. It was then Rani walked in.
"W-wow." she stammered. "He's hot." Lura turned surprised to see Rani walk in, almost forgetting about the little sprite in the first place. It was like she didn't exist, yet deep in Lura's mind she knew she did.
"He has a fever, he's going to be hot"Lura said with an almost naive smile. "Hello Rani, you're back. What do you have with you?" she asked sweetly, almost taking an older sister like role over the girl. She stood after placeing the once again cold cloth on Agaio's forhead and walked over to the fire. She took the soup pot and brought it over to the two person table with the metal dishes that would serve as their bowls and placed it in the center.
"Come eat," The soup wasn't bad, but it wasn't good. It was plain, with what ever vegitables were in the back storage room and some salted meats that were only a week old. They were perfectly preserved, but Lura over cooked them before putting them in the soup, making sure they weren't unhealthy. And taking the salt and any remaining flavor out of them.
Still the soup was satisfying. Lura saved enough for Agaio to have seconds as well as his origional serving, and placed the pot just over the fire to keep it warm.

Rani rolled her eyes at Lura. "Well, yeah. I meant that he'd very good-looking." She explained with pink cheeks. She moved forward and opened the cloth she held in her hand. Inside were nuts and fruit. "Emergency supplies." She explained light-heartedly.
When Agaio awoke the second time it was without a fever and in a much better presence of mind. He remembered vaguely awakening to see Lura leaning over him (but not much else about his first awakening), so discovering her presence upon waking the second time was no major surprise. What was a surprise was Rani.
"Hey, you're up!" She stated exuberantly, bringing him a bowl of some sort of soup. "You need to eat." She instructed him, glowing with so much energy that he found her rather alarming. "Do you need me to feed you?" She asked, boisterously.
"No." His low voice had a quiet, low tone to it, but otherwise it was his usual Agaio voice. He sat up and noticed the little fey girl blush rather openly at the sight of his chest. He pulled the blanket up for the sake of her modesty and took the bowl and spoon from her. "Thank you." He felt weak and dizzy, and had to lean against the wall, but he was at least in his right mind now.

Lura watched Agaio wake, she didn't walk over briskly like Rani did, she remained by the fire only two feet away. She was bent over inspecting the fire's coals, thinking of how much more wood and coal she would have to go search for to keep them for a few days. She didn't know how long they would remain here, she didn't even know what to do.
Lura saw Rani's blush and softly smiled, she was such a child, and then she herself blushed at the recolection of only minutes before. She turned back to the fire, so her blush would either go un noticed, or be excused as having her face in the fire to long. She turned and walked to the small closet to the left of the fireplace and took one of the clean shirts from there, she was greatful that the people who once occupied this town didn't take everything with them.
With a strange attitued, Lura tossed the shirt to Agaio, not looking him in the eye, undoubtably he wouldn't remember his fever dream, but she didn't know how else to act. "Here, put this on." she said as she turned back to the table with the nuts and fruits. She took the nuts and washed them in a pot of cool water, and the fuits next. Placeing them in the last metal dish that remainded in the set of four. She kept herself busy, draping her newly found cloak which covered her whole body but her ankles and arms about her body. "Eat the soup..."

Agaio looked mildly surprised when Lura wordlessly threw a shirt at him. Her blunt command caused him to raise an eyebrow. He set the bowl of soup carefully beside him and reached for the shirt. The two of them were hardly on good terms with each other, he mused, but it was wise to obey them since they had just saved his life. He draped the shirt over his shoulders and worked his arms through the sleeves, aware that he was being watched by the young pixie girl, who was pretending not to care. His shirt still unbuttoned, he stretched for her benefit, arching his back languidly. He was right, she had been watching him. Her cheeks went bright red and she hid her face behind the cloth she was holding.
Amused, Agaio left her alone and reached for the bowl of soup. That's when, not even looking at him, Lura told him to eat his soup. He looked down at the spoon in his hand and furrowed his brow. He couldn't help a sarcastic, "Would you like me to inhale it?" Rani stifled a giggle.

Lura turned slightly angered at his last comment and Rani's giggle. She opened her mouth to say something, only to bite her lip and turn back to her work with the fruit and nuts. She was glad he had a shirt on now, her mind wouldn't play ticks on her, maybe his fever dream was just that, a dream, and maybe it didn't truely happen. She was so angered at herself, and this she realized, was very uncharacteristic of her day self.
"Rani, where did you find these fruits and nuts? How deserted is the place out there?"

Rani saw her insulted expression and looked apologetic, but Agaio had no remorse. He adjusted against the wall and resumed eating the soup with a bemused little smile. He still felt weak, but at least he could still be sarcastic. That was empowering, at least. And the soup helped a lot, and compared to what he usually ate it was quite the delicacy. Of course, he wasn't going to say anything. He was sure Lura had made it, and he wasn't about to get on his knees and compliment her.
(( He's horrible. Plenty of room for improvement. XD ))
"I didn't find them." Rani replied simply, acting as though that were pretty common knowledge. "I made them. But I found the seeds scattered around a bit, and a leaf of one or two of them, and worked with what I had. It's pretty deserted out there. It looks like whoever used to live here left in a hurry."
"With trolls like old Brutus out there patrolling the place, I can hardly blame them." Agaio commented.

Lura didn't let herself look to surprised when Rani explained one of her powers. "I see," She finished her task and put them on the table, only to find that there was nothing left to do. She looked up at Agaio for the first time and smiled.
"Do you want more soup?" she asked, trying to return to the happy woman she was before she met Agaio, it was harder then she though. With his saracstic expression and that awkward aura around him, she was past the point of no return. "There's enough for one more serving."
The little wooden doll walked along the summer lands, soon entering to spring, finding her way to the ghost town. She looked about. "Hasn't been the same since Master came has it, its quite deserted." she shushed, and heard voices from a hut only three houses away. She tiptoed off into the shadows and looked into a window. She was happy to see that all three of the Strangers were in there. She fell down to her feet and quickly started running back to Masters castle in Summer.
"I have to tell him! They're all here!" and quickly she popped into smoke and was in the castle.

Lura's suddenly happy expression took Agaio completely by surprise, but he managed a "Sure..." and held out the bowl. He jerked suddenly, turning to the side as though ready to strike at something, but there was nothing there. He eyed the window suspiciously. He could have sworn that he sensed something...

Lura reached for the bowl, only to flinch away at his sudden jerk. "What? Are you alright?" she asked worried. She looked to where his head was turned, only to see him looking out the window. "Did you see somthing?" With the bowl in hand, she walked to the window and looked out. She was in shock to see a small toddler sized human looking thing quickly running off. Lura cried out in alarm, taking the bowl and tossing it out the window at the thing, only it disappeared in a puff of smoke and was gone.
Lura wordlessly ran out of the house, and stood in the middle of the road, her nerves racing, what the hell was that? Why was she so terrified of its pressence? She walked back inside, her eyes wide in fear. She didn't know why, but she was terrified.
"I think...we have to move....now."
