Hikari cuddled herself into Aidan's arms, she loved this spot, so close to him and she could hear his heart beat. It seemed a little quickened, but really that was understandable to the situation around them. She looked up to him with a smile. "So what is it Aidan that you wanted to talk about?" she asked.
At his words she blushed, she almost didn't know what to say, she was happy there was no way to mistake that much, but she had never expected this. "Aidan I...I don't know what to say..." she said grinning wider. She squeezed Aidan as tight as she could, "Oh Aidan...I love you..." she said purring loudly and reaching up on her toes to kiss him.

Aidan kissed her back, holding the girl closer. His own purr matched her own as he whispered teasingly into her ear.
“Perhaps you will be my nurse? Outfit included?” He chuckled deep and allowed himself to lift the Manx up so that she could be pressed against the wall. He kissed her everywhere, light fluttery kisses that only ended when he needed air. Dispite his brother being ill and the rest of his world bringing the barriers he built crashing down, he was content in that moment. He was content holding and being held right then. He felt loved, and it was wonderful.

Hikari laughed. "Oh I believe I can do that..." she purring with a grin on her face. She had a nurses outfit...she couldn't quite remember how she had gotten her paws on it but she had and had never quite gotten the chance to try it out just yet.
Against the wall Hikari squirmed a little under his kisses, trying not to laugh too loudly. A guilty pang hit Hikari knowing Kieran lay in the other room in pain, hurt because the woman he loved caused him had hurt him. But here she was with Aidan, he had promised he would never do anything of the like to her, and she knew she would never do anything to ever cause him so much pain.

Aidan watched her reactions and smiled to himself. He knew somehow that she was thinking of Kieran’s situation, and that brought him back out of his typical happy go lucky self.
“Come love, let us sleep for a few and when we awake we will find you something, whatever that may be, to wear.”
Ishtar looked at his father wearily, the man he had always been curious about, the one that allowed him to the life he loved now was withering in pain by his side. Slowly the boy brought his shaking hand to his face and brushed it, looking upon his father’s own. They looked so similar, and yet they would never be close, never show that father son bond that so many ranted about. Kieran had chosen to stay with the girls and Ishtar had chosen a path away from him.
“Pa pa I love you, but I wish you had actually cared for someone other than Percy.”
Kieran listened to Ishtar for that was all he could do, and raised a shaking hand to brush his sons face before falling back into that dreamless sleep.

Hikari smiled, she was still tired, and she was more than sure all of them were worn out, ready to sleep for as long as their bodied would let them and more. "It sounds like a wonderful idea." she said, "I can't wait to get back into a pair of sweat pants and a tank or something and just relax."
She felt bad still, she could sleep comfortably and happy, when Kieran couldn't. And she'd have to explain herself later one when she got back to the warehouse on where she had been and what her plans were and staying in the plaza for a while. Ammy would understand...at least she should.

Aidan merely smiled and nodded. Yeah she had to be uncomfortable in the shirt and skirt. He took her hand and led her to the other room where they would be able to sleep soundly for the night. Kieran would be safe in Ishtar’s hands he had to be. The boy was clever with medical issues, that much was certain. Both he and hikari would have to put his brother out of their minds if they planned on any sort of rest. Aidan lifted her hand to his lips and kissed each of her knuckles and released her to go make their bed.

Hikari smiled at him and went to go set up the bed, she hummed as she pulled out the blankets that had been splayed out and crumpled into a heap. She pulled it out, smoothing over the wrinkles and dug out a few pillows that had been shoved into a corner. She fluffed them as best she could and stood back to see how well she had done. It looked comfortable enough, considering who knew how long it had really been since the bedding had been used at all.
"Aidan, it's ready..." she called out to him making herself comfortable on the bed and snuggling up to one of the pillows. It felt so good, she never imagined they would still be so soft, or maybe it was just because she was so tired.

Aidan quietly took off the white tee-shirt he had on from the shower and leaned against the wall. His head had a faint pounding and his heart felt light; all he wanted to do in the entire world was crawl into the Manx’s arms and fall into oblivion. He ran his hands though his hair half heartedly and looked out the small window high in the wall. No wonder why he was exhausted, predawn light made the world look still, as though in a veil of mist. Hikari was beautiful standing there working as though she had done this several times as stray. When she said that the bed was done he was still staring at her, snuggling into the pillows and looking happy, if not calm. He followed slowly, as though the sun used the rest of his energy just to rise for the day. In a matter of what to him felt like eternity the Siberian was curled up with Hikari and holding her close, attempting to get the beautiful picture of the sunrise out of his mind… Particularly the red.

Dracal mews sadly as he looked around the place. "..Daddy?!" He felt like he had did something wrong. He wasn't sure if he could forgive him for hurting his mother like that. "Ishtar!" He is seen walking around the bushes as he didn't know where they were. He couldn't remember where the scent had gone. He lets out a small whimper, pawing at the ground while trying to find his brother's or his father's scent. "Dad?.. Daddy?" He began to shiver as it was starting to get cold for the little kitten who was not so little anymore.

The guard had been wandering around aimlessly for the past few hours; no one had tried to enter the territory today, the scent of blood scaring them all away. However, as though he had spoken too soon he had heared the quiet cries of the Toyger.
“What the hell?” he asked aloud and wandered to the kit. He observed from afar, the young one did not seem to be a threat, but to be sure he grabbed the other from behind.
“Why are you here?”
It was a mix of genuine curiosity and the periodic wonder as to why the kitten was asking for his brother and father.

Dracal looked towards the guard with a frightened mew. "... I am looking for my papa.. and my brother.. I heard that they came this way.. but I lost their scent.." He looked down with tears falling down to the ground. "... I wanted to tell my father that I am sorry for all the pain that I caused. I wanted to know what happened. I feel that it is my fault, sir.. Please, sir.. Take me to them.. please."

Hikari drifted off quickly in his arms, and his warmth enveloping her as she feel into the realm of dreams. There she basked in the warmth of the sun Aidan next to her, a quiet breeze ruffled her fur and the leaves around them. Her purring filled the air and the smell of rain came through with the light humidity, foretelling a shower to come. But she could have cared less as long as the other was beside her. When she tried to reach over and cuddle up to Aidan she couldn't reach for him, his red hair covered over his face and he did move when she called out his name, the storm clouds rolling in striking hard with thunder and lightning, and Aidan slipped away leaving her to be soaked in the rain as the impending darkness overtook her.
~~~
Hikari woke with a start, covered in a cold sweat and shivering. She turned over and sighed when she saw Aidan next to her. She looked at her hands which were still badly shaking and pushing her fingers through her calico bangs. That had been one hell of a nightmare, one she hoped she'd never have again. She laid herself back down and curled up as close as she could get to Aidan. Letting out a sigh of relief, it was only a dream and she hoped that it was all it would ever be. From the day she had first seen Aidan, to now, she never could have imagined she would be here with him, curled up in his arms, having been told he was falling in love with her. It was every girls dream. But then of course his brother had done nearly the same thing, had a litter of kittens and yet he lay in the other room in a near coma.
She shook the thoughts from her mind and contented herself by playing with Aidan's hair. She chanced a peak at the window, it had to be sometime in the afternoon, late by the looks of it, not late enough for the sun to set but just passed the heat of the day.

The kitten looked pathetic looking for his parental. The large cat sighed and ran a hand through his hair.
“Look kid, I’ve been given express orders not to let anyone in, but if your that desperate you must talk to the master of this territory… that’s the only place I can take you. Sadly you must follow me, it seems I’ve been demoted to babysitter.” He sighed and looked in the direction of the headquarters, it was not a huge problem, it was more his pride was being screwed with. He only looked back at Dracal as he neared the building.
“come now, keep up.” He sighed inwardly whilst opening the door
“Oh Aidan! You seem to have ANOTHER visitor!”

Dracal nodded towards the guard and used everything he had to keep up with the guard and more. He lets out a big hiss to show that he is stronger than he looks. He only wanted to see if he could get to his father and brother. He flicks his ears once they got into the door. "Uncle Aidan is here?!" He whimpered as he never really met the man but knew about him. He shook his head to shake the fear out of his body. He smiled gently at himself when the picture of Nyx appeared in his mind. "..I will come back, my little ballerina." He said in his mind. He looks up at the guard. "Aidan is my adopted uncle.. I am sure that he will understand.. " He turned around and began to try to get any kind of scent. "Dad?... Ishtar?.. Uncle Aidan?"
