~:Chapter 13: Solo Meta RP - Conversations:~ They had finally left the lab and Hazeline took a deep breath as her hands gripped the steering wheel of the car. Xiu noticed that her hands were shivering. “Hazeline…,” said Xiu quietly as he extended his hand to hold hers. It was cold. Concerned blue eyes stared at the guardian before him. Hazeline seemed really distraught. “I’m sorry, Hazeline,” said Xiu softly as he kept his hands over his guardian’s. “I-I should have protected you better,” “Don’t be silly, Xiu,” said Hazeline with her eyes staring straight ahead. “There was nothing that you could do. I mean…he is a Sigel after all…,” the hands on the wheel gripped tighter. “Why, Xiu?” “Hazeline?” “Why did you go to him? Just…what is Lazarus to you?” asked Hazeline in a soft and almost trembling voice. How could you side with someone who has just…just…done that? was the unasked question. “Hazeline…?” “No, just…forget about it, Xiu,” said Hazeline with a shake of her head. “I was being … inquisitive,” “Hazeline…,” said Xiu as he gently lifted his hand away from his guardian and folded them neatly in front of him. “Lazarus… he…means a lot to me and…so do you,” “But why?” asked Hazeline, still refusing to believe the frei’s words. Lazarus was important to Xiu? How? “You do remember how…I spent my first night in the Lab, don’t you, Hazeline?” asked Xiu patiently. “Yes, I couldn’t make it on the day the phone call was made…,” replied Hazeline a little guiltily. “Well… Lazarus, he…took care of me. He was the first and only living being to help me out of the tank and…helped me pass the night in what would surely have been a confusing ordeal,” said Xiu. “Call it what you will, Hazeline but that…surely it warrants some kind of respect at least?” “I guess…,” said Hazeline grudgingly as she finally started the car and began easing it out of the parking lot. “You always had that loyal-protective streak in you…,” “Perhaps…it is my nature,” replied Xiu with a smile. --------------------------------------- Upon reaching home, Hazeline had immediately made her way to the bathroom; no doubt for that shower Alex had talked about. Xiu wondered about this. Perhaps it was some kind of hydro therapy? Well…as long as Hazeline was all the better for it, Xiu had no complains. Floating to his room, the white frei flared his wings and winced. Perhaps being thrown into the cabinet from Lazarus had dome some damage after all. Tentatively the white frei flared his wings once again and the pain returned. So much for having wings of stone… Flopping onto his bed, Xiu stared absently at the stack of books that were piled rather neatly on his bedside table. The frei yawned and wondered if he should have a sort of pre-nap read when there was a soft knock on his door and Hazeline entered. Surprised, Xiu sat up and stared at his guardian. He had not heard her coming out of the shower. And… “Why are you holding a basin of water, a towel and…a bottle filled with rice wine?” asked Xiu quizzically. “Did…something happen?” “No, Xiu. But I figured that that encounter with the cabinet must have hurt,” said Hazeline as she sat beside her frei and uncorked the bottle of rice wince. The slightly fragrant and alcoholic smell of the wine filled the room. “Turn around and let me see you back, Xiu,” “Wha-Hazeline, I don’t understand,” said Xiu looking confused. “Rice wine, it’s said to be good for bruises,” said Hazeline. “The towel and warm water is there just in case there are wounds that needs to be cleaned up,” “But there aren’t any,” mumbled Xiu still reluctant to turn around. “I’m fine,” “Don’t be stubborn, Xiu,” said Hazeline levelly. “Now, let me see your back and lie down,” Reluctantly the white frei turned around and with a slowness that was almost deliberate, began to undress. Once this was done, the frei lay down with his back to Hazeline as instructed but it was clear that the white frei was tensed. Hazeline shook her head. For someone who had only been a year old and…a guy at that, Xiu was being positively bashful. Hazeline wondered where such a conservative attitude came from. “See? You are injured,” said the guardian gently as she applied the wine to her hands and began massaging the frei’s back. “There are a couple of bruises here and there but nothing serious. Anywhere else, Xiu?” “My wings, they hurt when I move them,” said Xiu as he tried to see what Hazeline was doing. “And, I feel like…I’m being marinated,” “Silly raevan,” said Hazeline as she applied the wine to the wings. They were hard like stones but…nevertheless, they were alive. The phrase ‘living stone’ came to mind. “Alcohol can kill bacteria, you know,” “Hmmm…,” “And, I don’t know, relieve blood clots as well, I think,” said Hazeline giving Xiu’s wings a final rub down with alcohol. “No that I know if it’ll work on wings such as yours,” There was no reply from the white frei. “Hah, he’s asleep,” said Hazeline with a soft laugh as she got up. She’d let Xiu rest for now and wake him up later. “I just hope he does not catch a cold, sleeping like that,”

~:Chapter 14: Solo Meta RP - Justified Anger? :~ “These are the new orders, Hazeline?” enquired Xiu the next morning as he watched his guardian signing on a piece of paper. Beside her were a couple of heavy looking boxes. “Need some help?” “Yes, I would like that, Xiu. Thank you,” said Hazeline with a smile. “You feeling alright today?” “Yes, I feel fine,” replied Xiu with a slight nod of his head. “Although…there is a lingering smell of rice wine about,” “It’ll wear off,” said Hazeline in a matter o’fact tone. “First we need to get these into the office,” “What kind of books are they?” asked Xiu as he hefted a box off the ground. Funny, it certainly feels lighter than it looked “Some kind of young children’s book; the next big thing, apparently,” said Hazeline as she kept the door open for the frei. “I’ve got people placing orders before the book’s due to be out so uh…yeah, were are stocking on them,” “Hmmm,” “By the way Xiu, are you sure that these boxes aren’t too heavy?” “No, odd isn’t it Haz-,” Blue eyes stared hard at something across the street. Curious, Hazeline followed her raevan’s gaze to see… “Two dogs?” “That was a very dishonourable thing to do,” “Do what, Xiu? I don’t see anything-,” “That dog, it took the bone that rightfully belonged to the other dog,” “Uh…so? That’s what dogs do don’t they? Fight over stuff like bones, biscuits, slippers…,” “It is bullying the weaker dog,” “Uh…dogs do not have the same sense of right and wrong like we do, Xiu,” “Then it must be taught,” said Xiu with what could possibly be a trace of a growl forming. “Xiu…just….come here, alright?” said Hazeline half shoving the white raevan into the bookstore and closing the door behind them. “You are not to talk of something so…weird like that, alright? It’s not normal,” “But…,” “Listen, human laws…they can’t be applied to animals okay? Some things are just sort of like instinct and stuff and…by knowing how to control these…base instincts; we are different from common animals okay?” said Hazeline as she gave her charge a worried look. “Sure it is wrong but…your temper, it was unnecessary,” “The strong was picking on the weak. My anger; if such a word were to be used, is justified,” “Maybe it is, but the magnitude of your anger was starting to get a little overwhelming,” said Hazeline anxiously. “Listen, let’s just help me unpack these books okay?” added Hazeline in an attempt to shift her raevan’s anger to something a little more productive. “Alright, Hazeline,” replied Xiu looking appearing to have calmed down a little at his guardian’s request. “Let’s see to those books,”

~:Chapter 15: Solo Meta RP - Hierarchy:~ It was morning once again. The streets were empty save for two creatures; a big dog and a little dog. The little dog had a bone and the big dog wanted it. Hackles raised, the large canine bared its fangs and growled. The small canid whimpered but kept its jaws locked around the bone it had been given; its large eyes wide with fear and tail clamped firmly between its legs. This has been going on for a while now. Every morning, its owner would give it a bone before letting it out and every morning, its bone was taken from it by its larger counterpart. It just wasn’t fair… And because of the sheer unfairness of it all, a small part of its little doggy mind clicked and the small dog released its bone. The big dog was appeased. It bent over to retrieve the spoils of its intimidation technique but stopped. Something was…just not right. Large canid eyes lifted to see a disapproving figure before it. The figure looked fairly human in the sense that it had all the right human proportions; up to its chest that is. The large dog blinked. The ‘human’ was floating; without legs. Oh well… Giving what would have been a doggy shrug of a shoulder, the large dog was about to turn and ignore the stranger when… “Stop,” A brown ear swiveled to the speaker. It was the funny human. What did the human want? The large dog did a quick wag of a tail. “No, I want you to return the bone you stole,” The big dog growled. It wasn’t that the dog actually understood the words spoken but…somehow, the message of those words were crystal clear. Not that it meant anything. The big dog was used to chasing choice humans from time to time and this being; although male, had no legs to kick it. It was a sure victory on the dog’s part. With the bone still firmly lodged between its teeth, the dog bared its fangs, raised its hackles, went stiff legged and all in all, exhibited the characteristics of a rather hostile canine. The ‘human’ did not seem impressed and that, to a certain point, jabbed at what could probably be a doggy’s ego. The dog deepened its growl only to realize that the human was growling as well. Confused, the dog stopped growling to eye the human. What was this ‘human’ playing at? “Bone, now,” The dog stared. The lift of the head, the manner in which the ‘human’ ‘stood’… The dog recognized it. It was the stance of…in terms of hierarchy; someone who ranked higher than it; and not only because that being was human shaped…. The dog yielded. Placing the stolen bone gingerly to the ground, the large dog turned and scampered off without a second glance. Xiu nodded before turning to the smaller dog. “It is yours,” said the white raevan gently before making his way back to the bookstore; before the rest of the family got up.

~:Chapter 16: Solo Meta RP - Halloween:~ Xiu woke up with a groan. He felt terrible! Almost as though… “It’s happening all over again…,”murmured the frei as he forced himself up. This feeling…he had felt it once before and…had hoped that he’d never feel it again. This restlessness… But…it wasn’t as though he was not prepared for it. A brief talk with Hazeline a few days ago had the both of them thinking that the probability of him feeling ill on Halloween was rather high. It was a shame really; what with Lucia sending out invites for the Halloween party. Xiu guessed he wouldn’t be going then. “Xiu?” The white frei turned to see the silhouette of his guardian against the door to his room. “How are you feeling, Xiu?” Hazeline asked stepping into the frei’s room to sit on his bed. “Alright?” “No, I’m afraid not,” said Xiu floating to his guardian. “Our guesses were correct. Halloween is not agreeing with me either,” “But…any chance it could be the vi-,” “No, Hazeline. I am sure it is not,” said Xiu a little too harshly. Seeing the stunned look of his guardian, the frei stumbled. “I-I mean…I am quite sure it’s…the same as the Hungry Ghost Month, Hazeline,” “Think you’ll be able to manage it?” “I have managed a whole month, haven’t I? A day, or two if All Souls Day is included shouldn’t be too hard to endure,” said Xiu with a nervous chuckle. “I’ll be fine,” “Alright Xiu. I am trusting you on this,” said Hazeline as she got up. “But you must tell me if you are unable to bear it, alright?” “Alright, Hazeline. I will,” said Xiu softly.

[MSN Meta PRP] = Duties = Xiu: *knocks on the Doctor's door smartly before opening it* Dr. Kyou? I am here as instructed. "Wait a moment." The scientist said as he picked up Lazarus's clipboard. The chart had not been updated since his infection. Hesitating a little, Kyou opened the door nervously. "Good morning Xiu, feeling better?" Xiu stared at the Doctor flatly and after a moment of uncomfortable silence. "I am well, thank you," Red eyes however, still glared angrily at the Doctor. "Your instructions?" Kyou took a nervous gulp. "Here, take this clipboard." He said as he handed Xiu the clipboard. "And follow me." Taking big strides, he walked towards one of the Raevan tanks. The clipboard was taken and the white frei gave the Doctor a curt nod before following him to the raevan tanks. Once there, the raevan gave the tanks a thoughtful look. "It's been a while since I've been here," said the white frei softly. Kyou nodded, feeling a little bit more comfortable now. "Since you emerged from them." The water in the tank was a muddy dark green, visual was low but a rough figure can be seen inside. Kyou pointed to an indicator at the bottom of the glass panel. "This indicates the tank's current temperature." The indicator says '10 celsius' now. "You have to note down the temperature every 3 hours." Xiu nodded. "And once I have, what do I do, Doctor?" the white frei asked; his voice taking on a gentler tone as he stared at the vague figure from within the tank. So this was how a raevan was formed? Xiu wondered how he looked like back then. "If the temperature falls below 5 celsius, you must push this red button here and inform me immediately." The scientist said as he point to a large red button at the side of the indicator. Then he walked around to the left side of the tank and urged the Frei to follow. "Red button, five degrees. Got it," said Xiu before floating towards the scientist. That was all getting rather interesting and despite not wanting to admit it, Xiu was rather enjoying this little tour of the lab. It gave the frei a chance to try his hands at something different for a change. "You see this hose here?" Kyou said as he pointed to a large hose connected to the tank. "The pressure in the tank will sometimes make the hose loose, keep an eye on it and screw it shut like this if it got loose." Kneeling down, Kyou grabbed onto the little handle bars beside the hose connection and turned it clockwise until both handles are completely vertical. "Understood," said the white frei as he observed the Doctor's demonstration. Then, floating closer, the white frei gave the handle bars a soft tug and was glad to find that it was not too difficult. He could certainly handle that. "That's all for the major things to note." Brushing the dusts from his lab coat, Kyou stood back up. "Just keep an eye on everything else and make sure nothing goes out of place." Kyou wondered if he should ask Xiu to make his morning coffee everyday, since Laz does that everyday. Laz does make good coffee. However, he glanced at Xiu's red eyes and thought better of it. "Alright, I will," replied the frei. The Doctor had then seemed undecided; as though wondering if he should add another task to the frei's set of intructions. However, after giving Xiu a worried glance the Doctor seemed to have thought better of it. Floating out of the room containing the raevan tanks, the frei gave the clock on the wall a glance. It was a little late for breakfast but… Xiu was quite certain that the Doctor had not had any yet. Making his way to where the kitchen was Xiu inspected the cabinets and was glad to find that they were well stocked at least. And there was coffee there. “A coffee person huh?” said Xiu quietly to himself. Well, he had learned a thing or two about food preparation from the housekeeper and now was as good a time as any to try them out. Fifteen minutes later, the frei appeared out of the kitchen with a cup of strong coffee (the way Hazeline drinks them when working on a dateline) and a sandwich. “Doctor Kyou?” enquired the frei as he gave the Doctor’s room a soft knock. Then balancing the cup of coffee and sandwich in one hand, the frei opened the door before placing the food on the table. “It’s not poisoned,” said the frei before floating out; leaving the Doctor to his work. “I shall collect the dishes in half an hour,” Kyou stared at the breakfast Xiu prepared for him, looking incredulous. He did WHAT?! It is truly unbelievable, but Kyou is glad. Taking the warm cup of coffee he took a sip tentatively and winced. Xiu put too much coffee and too little sugar.

~:Chapter 16: Solo Meta RP - Back Home (End) :~ The hours that followed after his awakening from the induced coma caused the medicine passed like a dream. Xiu vaguely remembered the glad faces of the doctor and his guardian Hazeline when he came to some six hours after the drug had been administered to him. The Doctor had then babbled something about checking for the virus and had drawn some blood out of him. Then, there was another period of waiting in which Xiu remembered feeling positively freezing. Then, the results were back and Xiu was discharged. The first thing that occurred after the Doctor had discharged him was him being wrapped in a deliciously warm array of blankets and Hazeline bundling him off into her car. Then came the drive back home. Xiu could not remember much of the drive save that he slept most of the time and that upon their arrival home, Hazeline had immediately sent him to bed and had seen to it that he was tucked in comfortably before heading out; probably to catch a couple of hours of much needed sleep as well. Joshua had then sneaked in a couple of minutes later and exchanged a few words with the white frei before sneaking out again. The white frei gave a soft sigh of contentment as he reached out for a book that he had left lying on the tabletop next to the bed. It was good to be back home.
