Liliana looked both concerned and relieved, and truth be told still very tired. The human pulled Lily into her lap as Edward sat up still being quite drunk and wanting someone to snuggle. Peter arched a brow as he felt Trel's minor use of kinetics to help in the lift & sniffed questioningly in Keyna's floppy ear. The pregnant kyunru lightly shook her head. *We shall speak on it later. We are all far too exhausted now.* Which was true, for all with telepathic ability that had taken part (Aiden of course had Theron & Ambar elsewhere) looked worn out from their efforts. Except for Trelweny who giggled in her inebriated state. "whoops. Must've done it again." Still giggling she pouted. "Sheems I can take down anyone's barriers but my own."
Keyna looked demurely away but Bellar chuckled softly in amusement. "Except when you're drunk..." Across the room Mirage giggled, causing her sister in the main room to frown both visibly & through their twin-link.
Looking at her friend curiously Liliana touched her nose to his. "That's good... isn't it?"

Terasu blinked as everyone seemed to settle down. Head tilted curiously as Ed claimed to regain memories. His eyes swept over to the photos, wondering what he would use with the memories now. Pawsteps caught his attention, and he peeked over his shoulder to see Setsumi settling behind him. "Hey ma."
Giving Terasu a pat on the head, Setsumi glanced over the new automail. "So, it's all over now?" Ed seemed to be adjusting them well; the mechanics had done a great job. And he had some memories restored, question was if that was a good thing.

Atae felt a shock of sympathy pain in shoulder and hip when Ed screamed and winced. Sometimes things like this effected her, sometimes they didn't. Like when Khael was around she always felt like she couldn't move right. She didn't think anything about it, of course, because it wasn't really a regular occurance. She felt slightly dizzy afterward and her joints ached so she remained sitting for a moment until it subsided and then trotted over to Edward. She pounced at him and tugged on his braid gently before backing up. "C'mon... walk around! And maybe you can look at that... merthal? you guys were talking about before while we're here too?"
"Wha?... Oh... no... Just wondering how Lili and Atae are doing..." Her second set of questions brought Lili drifting across his mind again. Why?... He shoved it to the back of his mind. "Nobody special... not like that..." He frowned slightly and then shrugged. "Lili's not the only one working on the... making friends thing..." He half-smiled at Ginny a bit wryly. "I dunno if you can tell but I'm not really... comfortable around a lot of people... 'specially if I don't know many of them." He trailed off and sort of stared at the floor. "I had to make sure Atae and Lili and their friend were ok... y'know?"
And then the scream happened. He didn't really hear it... or even really feel it... but he stiffened none the less. "...What the hell was that?" He immediately trotted to the door and thumped one of his forepaws against it a couple of times. "Lili? Atae?" Was everything ok?

Truth be told.. Edward wasn't the most touchy feely Kitsu about, and thus certainly didn't mind as Liliana got snuggled instead. He looked tired, all that over stimulation having worn out the poor little teen. His nerves still feeling a bit frayed and dully aching, but it would soon pass... most of the pain was gone thanks to Trel.
Edward smiled as Liliana's nose touched his and he nodded gently, "Of course its good..." although truth be told, many of the memories weren't pleasant... but many were as well. Naturally, he wouldn't say anything of that.. he didn't want to worry anyone. "Yeah.. its over" he told Setsumi reassuringly, despite his groggy look. He then gasped in surprise as Atae pounced him and tugged his braid, "Heeey." She was right though, and Edward forced himself up and hopped off the couch. He walked about, testing the automail as if trying on new shoes. "Its great.. you did a good job" this compliment sent to the mechanics who had so graciously offered to fix him. It wasn't Winry's work, but it wasn't bad by any means either. The familiar tug and weight of the automail was somewhat reassuring.. for he didn't like the pity and such that came with lugging around a couple stumps.

Brown eyes watched Endless with almost calculating efficiency. She wanted to ask about how & when he & Liliana had met -for Remus' eldest daughter had been keeping her own confidences ever since Nari had become pregnant again. Or at least when the proudly expecting parents had told their childen the news. But then the scream stiffened her & she only nodded. At least she had expected such a thing with the hurry of which the GaiaCom had insisted Trel get drunk.
"I'm glad..." Liliana snuggled back against the human with a sleepy yawn. What was that Atae had mentioned? The witch had an incling it was important. "Mithril? I think Myr has it still." Her green gaze scanned the room she did not see the GaiaCom. "Where's Endless?"
At that moment Endless' voice came through the door into the room -the magic of the door carrying his query to the right location as it picked up on his intent. It was a little slow because of the unfamiliarity between the two. "We're in here!" Lily called out tiredly but with relief, lowering her head to rest it over her wing as she sleepily looked at the door.
Locke looked up from grooming Amaryllis. "Just think of the room & open it. They'll be there."

Eyes watched curiously as the new automail was tested. Terasu gulped, thankful he didn't have to have metal limbs. He chuckled as Atae pulled on Ed's braid. "So you can fly and walk straight now. Congrats."
"That's good to hear." Setsumi glanced at Lily. The winged femme looked to tired to bother right now. Setsumi logged it in her mind to ask her later. Her head turned to the door, waiting for others to appear.

Another smile was given in Liliana's direction as Edward seemed satisfied with the automail and sat. "I dunno about flying.. atleast not with my automail." It still made him too heavy.. although regarding that mythrill stuff... he'd have to study it before even considering transmuting the steel in his automail. There was no sense in going in blind.. messing up the limbs.. and having to hobble back here.. asking for a new set. It wasn't fair either.. he needed to be careful and be sure he knew what he was doing. Alchemy wasn't magic, after all.
Pushing all concerns aside, the teen sat up an grinned broadly.. "So.. I'm starving! Didn't someone mention food earlier?" Of course his thoughts would turn to his stomach. Such a boy.

Zell looked up hopefully, blue eyes hopeful & tail wagging. [Food? Hotdogs?] Rikku & Mirage shared a glance trying not to laugh, but seeing the look in each others eyes failed misserably & bust up laughing. "C'mon. Rikku & I will bring food here for everyone so you don't have to deal with the mob. Zell, you come too. Give our guests some time alone." Rikku followed Mirage, with a glance back at Edward. "Just let me know right away if anything seems out of whack. You know that stuff better than I do." Muttering something under her breath about how it was easier to tell with a full machina if something was wrong because there was not machoism to avoid the audio Al Bhed followed the fae tala out of the room around Endless at the door.
Liliana's eyes fluttered drowsily, unknowing that Setsumi had a question for her. Trel however felt the flutter of it and raised a brwow drunkenly. "Ask an' ye shall receive..." she giggled out.

Atae wagged her tails as Edward walked around, relieved that his new appendages seemed to be in working order. Rikku and the others left the room and Endless padded in and she trotted over to him, grinning. "Ed's all right now! I think." She looked back. "You are all right now, right?"
Endless stopped when Atae ran in front of him and ruffled her hair. "So everyone's ok, then? There was a... thing. I wasn't sure what happened."

Terasu plopped down, his tummy growling. "I want some pizza!" He flicked his tails eagerly, already visualizing a nice slice of fish pizza. He pulled on a dreamy smile-though doubted that was what was in the kitchen.
Eyes blinked in surprise at Trel. Was she psychic, or was she just obvious? Setsumi gave a sheepish grin. "That's okay, I'll ask after Lily has gotten some rest." She didn't want to wear her out any further than she was.

Edward was glad as everyone's focus started to come off of him... and he jumped onto the cough again where his pile of clothing lay. His ears turning forward as he heard Atae's question, and he grinned, "Yep, I'm doing great!" Nevermind that he was tired and super hungry! His stomach growling again as if to remind him. The teen quickly slipped his clothes back on, the automail going hidden once more, while nodding toward's Rikku as she spoke to him. Soon Edward was fully dressed once more, and padded over to Lili to place his paw on hers, "Be sure and rest" his expression softened in deep gratitude and appreciation for Liliana's support. He couldn't have asked for a better friend.

*Yes. Everyone is as okay s to be expected.* A drunken giggle both mental & audible followed Trelweny's strong thought and Bellar rolled his eyes while Keyna only shrugged lightly in a helpless gesture.
This drunk, yes Trelweny was pretty much psychic. It was hard to keep thoughts out -which might account for part of why she had such inhibitions on her talent to begin with. Bad enough she sporadically picked up on thoughts daily, but to hear them all & try to filter through them on a daily basis while learning... that was something that when sober terrified the human too much to even try. Now however she smiled goofily at the kitsu mother so much that her nose crinkled cutely. *As you wish* In this state Trelweny could probably pull the question from one & the answer from the other but that would be impolite & a definite breach of her standards. So she smiled happily down on Remus' eldest daughter as her little kitsu friend touched her gold tipped paw with one of his. Liliana smiled softly to see Endless in the doorway & then brought her head around to smile softly at Edward. "I will. Now I know you're okay." With a small yawn she moved her head to rest on her paws, her cheek touching Edward's paw briefly as she settled down to sleep.
It was not long before the two females in matching sunset scarves trooped back with loads of food. A few trays floated behind them, and the sounds of playful bickering from identical twin wizards in the kitchen seemed to follow them as well. Piles of falafels, kibbies, lamb-rolled pitas, and sauces for each were on the trays the girls carried. On the floating ones where two "pizzas" - one had crumbled falafel on top of a tahini sauce, the other spinach & chicken over a plain white sauce that looked to be plain unflavored, unsweetened yogurt. Both were liberally scattered with crumbled feta cheese. Rikku winked as she cleared a spot on the workbench & everything was set down. "Someone wanted Pizza? Trel passed on the word..." The audio rhetoric laughed to see Trelweny try to look innocent while grinning like a loon at her drunken, tricky cleverness.

Terasu's mouth watered and his eyes glistened in dramatic tears. "Pizza!" He hopped over to the floating trays, and bounced under them to try and view the delicious food. He followed the trays like an eager bunny waiting to recieve a carrot. "Thank you thank you thank you, THANK YOU!"
Setsumi rolled her eyes. Yep, that's Terasu for ya. She moved to lay beside Lily, and rested her head on the floor between her paws. She layed still, her eyes and tails the only thing moving. She was too deep in thought to even consider eating right now.

As Terasu bounded off for the pizza, Edward wasn't long to follow. But not first without a smile and a gentle nudge to Liliana. Leaping off the couch, Edward's wings flapped a bit.. and he was airborne... for about a second before he flopped to the floor due to the weight of his automail. Gah. But did that slow him down? No! He was driving by hunger and quickly picked himself up and ran after his 'brother' towards the bearers of the foodstuffs. Joining Peacock in the eager droolfest over the pizza and other delicious looking entrees.

Atae followed the boys right over. She didn't have the appetite typical of most males (or at least that seemed typical), but she was a teenager. Those were famous for having appetites too. Though honestly she was looking more at the other foods than the "pizza". Food was one area where she was not at all shy about trying new things. "Didja bring plates?" She didn't want to just eat straight off the trays everyone else was getting food from...
Endless padded over to check on Lili, figuring he could get something after the kids were finished... if there was anything left, anyway. He stood and watched her for a moment. He wasn't sure if she was quite asleep yet but he didn't want to disturb her... she looked peaceful at the moment and peace was something she probably hadn't had much of for the last few days. Instead he walked over and nosed at Trel's shoulder. "Do you think Ginny could keep something aside for Liliana to eat when she wakes up?" If she was asleep for very long the stuff in here would be cold... if, of course, the kids didn't eat it all. There was a lot of food, but still... never underestimate hungry teenagers, especially when one was recovering from... stuff.
