He sat down in front of her and smiled, "...Well, if you need it, you can come and use it when you need to Isdra." he smiled at her, happily smiled at her, "You want to shower and wash your clothes before you go back, or do you want to head home giving people ideas as to what you've been up to?" he laughed and winked at her.
"I could cook us something to eat or we could do something else...whatever you want Isdra."

A smirk was given in response to the wink and a slight huff. "All you men are alike. Always in the gutters." Leaning forward she pulled him forward and grinned, then moved never to his ear. "Or would you just want them to wonder what I've been doing... and how I liked what I was doing? Bet you would, wouldn't you? You bad kid, you." She nipped on his ear seductivly, before pushing him over and standing up.
"I think I'll take you up on that shower offer and save the people the wondering. But I do expect a good meal waiting when I come back. Now where the hell is the shower at?" Isdra demanded as she looked around for the shower. "Got anything I can wear? It'll be really nasty to go back into sweaty clothes after a nice shower." A pained expression was given in explaination as she peeled a garmant of the front of herself.

He smirked as he stood up, "Hey, you were the one worried about appearances earlier. Just taking into mind what you were implying." he stepped out of the small training room and right across the hall was the bathroom, with a shower, "If you don't mind a T-shirt and slacks you can borrow a pair of mine...they'll probably fit you better than anything my father wears..."
"And as for good food...weren't you the one who decided she wanted just cereal but ended up stealing some of my breakfast?" He tossed a towel at her and started down the hall towards the kitchen.

"Riiiiiight. Of cooooourse you were." She nodded sarcasticly and waved a hand in the air for emphasis. "Don't act like you weren't thinking it! I do have 3 brothers, I'm not stupid!" Grabbing the towel, she twisted it and whipped him in a butt with his as she walked past. "Lets not be mean now! Plus, you were the one who offered."
"A t-shirt and such is fine. Just... leave it in the hall or drop in on the counter once you get it. I can't stand these clothes any longer." Closing the door slightly behind her, but leaving it cracked, she stripped and entered the shower, screamed a bit while learning the nobs, and happy bathed.

Halcyon moved right on to making them some food, "Kill...maim...murder...destroy her...she's so easy...you could take that knife and..." the voice whispered into Halcyon's ear, the voice of his past, the voice that drove his past self to kill. Images of Isdra's blood flowing free and swirling the drain filled his mind against his will.
Halcyon shoved the knife into the cutting board and ended up on the ground curled up, he was fighting it as best as he could but, the images of Isdra dying at his hands wouldn't leave him be and tears were running down his face at the mere thought of losing her.
"Kill...maim...execute...desecrate..." the voice said, fading away, leaving Halcyon a fetal mess of tears. The meal only half-prepared, nothing yet cooking.

Wrapping the towel around herself, Isdra looked around the bathroom, but saw no clothes. "Hmmm..." Wandering into the hallway, she didn't see any there, either. "What the heck...? Halcyon usually good about remembering the little things." Looking in his room to see if he'd even made an effort, she didn't see anything. "That jerk." The pout only grew greater when she noticed there was no food smell in the big house.
It didn't take her long to wander downstairs, still clad only in her towel. "Halcyoooon!!! I smell no food! And there were no clothes! I thougtht you said you'd leave me some!" She shouted as she walked down the stairs and into the living room, looking around her the kitchen. "Your house is to big! How do you ever expe-" Walking into the kitchen, she noticed Halcyon. "Halcyon?! What's wrong, Halc?!"

At first he bolted back from Isdra in shock then suddenly clung to her in relief, "I...I said it...they...comes when...I'm awake...n-new ones too...voice from...dreams and...you...bleeding...dying..." he stammers out as best as he could. He still looked terrified, his facade of calm control completely shattered.

The shear sight of him in such a condition made her want to ball up and hide herself. "Halc.. Shuhh... It's ok, hun... I'm ok. Nothing's wrong with me. I'm fine..." Pulling him closer she didn't know what she could do for him, suddenly realized the position she put others in. Laying her head on his shoulder, she turned, kissing his cheek gently. "Shuuh... I'm fine. You don't have to worry... Nothing's going to happen to me." Using her shoulders to support him, Isdra turned and carried him into the living room. It too her a bit, but she managed to get him on to a couch.

He continued to cry and shudder a bit, the echoes of what he had seen staying with him for a bit, eventually though they faded away and he was able to regain the calm he had. He watched Isdra for a bit before he sat up and wiped away his tears, "I...I need to get you a shirt and pants...and...and then lunch." he stood up and held his head for a bit before he started walking towards the kitchen.
I'm...I'm falling apart here...I'm going to have to find this Nara woman and talk to her. he thought to himself as he left Isdra behind.
"Hmmm...You know...in all the time that he's been having nightmares...he's never reached out to anyone, even when he saw them die...He's even seen my death, at his hands of course. But he didn't reach to me like he just did to you Isdra." came Cordain's voice as he came in from outside. He watched her, "Take good care of my son, I believe he loves you more than he can express right now."
Cordain smiled as he went off to the elevator and disappeared from sight.

Isdra rose an eyebrow in the direction of Cordain's voice, listening him talk. It was a challange to deal with, let alone respond to, but she nodded when he said to take care of him. At that moment, though, she was concerned about Halcyon. "Halcyon! Stop it. You don't need to get me anything!" Running into the kitchen behind him, she grabbed ahold of his wrist to stop him. "It's fine. Tell me where the clothes are and I'll get them." Her hold what enough to get him to stop moving for a moment.

Halcyon watches Isdra for a bit, "Please...let me distract myself Isdra...I...I don't want to think about what I saw please..." he said, his tone was almost pleading, his eyes were practically stoned off at this point, expressionless prisms.

His eyes made her let go of his hand. "Halcyon..." She wanted to comfort him, but she had no clue how. It just made her hurt worse when she realized this was excatly what she had done to him. Turning, she covered her mouth as she let out a sob and went into the other room. There wasn't a thing she could do right now, she knew that. He needed to come to an understanding about it before he could even be comforted for it. Isdra stood there a minute before she even realized she was still standing in the kitchen doorway, then slowly walked back to the couch and sat down.

He brought out a fresh chicken ceasar salad before he moved to his bedroom, returning with a pair of slacks and a t-shirt which he handed to her, "You can use my room to change in Isdra...and sorry I just...I needed to move and let my head clear a bit...Thank you for comforting me"

Takening the salad from his hands, she tried a bit of it. The salad was delicious, but at this point she couldn't enjoy it. "Thank you. It's good." She gave him the best smile she could manage, but she didn't know if it would help him any. Standing up, she took the clothes and put the salad on the coffee table. "It's never a problem, Halc," Isdra muttered, giving him a quicky hug and walking his bedroom. After putting on the clothes, she looked in the mirror.
Her hands caught her attention when she looked. They were bleeding, cracked and flaking from all the punch she had done. Her shin turned out to be the same way, but she couldn't feel either. Walking out, she looked at Halcyon, "Do you have any bandages and lotion I could use? My hands got messed up from the punching bag."

Halcyon looked at her hands and knees then moved quickly to the bathroom, returning with several different kinds of lotions, and more bandages then would be required, "Ah! I should have added more padding to the boxing gloves I knew it!" he quickly began, but gently, applying the lotion to her hands and bandaging them. He looked like good old normal Hal, worried about Isdra and moving as quickly as he could to make her better.
Just like with the thunderstorm.
