Tosten frowned at Silva's response and tilted his head to look toward the newest arrival that he had fail to notice before. This juvenile didn't care... well, he could accept that. Not all feien's were nice.
"I think so. Ah, I should try looking somewhere else. If you see him could you tell me, maybe? Thank you, byebye!" He said in a rush and lit to the air. He fluttered by Halo, pausing and giving a friendly wave before darting out of the tavern to do his Merrimack hunt elsewhere.

Silva nodded, shrugging slightly at the hasty retreat. So what was he supposed to do? Even if he DID care, he had never met the kid, didn't know where or who he liked to hang out with, other than what the blue guy had told him. Hell, he didn't even have his "scent."
Running out and looking for him just struck him as idiotic... But he WAS interested in finding another feien. The white one that knew everything. He scowled, cursing himself for a fool for not having asked the blue guy if he knew where to find him. With a muttered cuss he dropped down from where he was and ran out the door, looking for the blue feien that had just left.

Celaien woke slowly, his brain all fogged-feeling and kind of painful. Not very, but a little. He was still in the chair by the hearth with Ian on his lap. He smiled gently at the younger feien's sleeping face, nudging him with his nose. "Hey... time to wake up, sleepy head," he said softly.

Ianios' blue eyes fluttered open, and he groaned, nearly pitching backwards. His head pounded. Oh flaming dragons, what had he drank last night?? Even the light that streamed in was too much for him. He leaned his head over on Celaien's shoulder. "Gah....what happened?" he muttered into his shoulder.

"I think you might have had a little too much to drink," Celaien said softly. "Does your head hurt?" *Now* he remembered what Tsuki had said about sake... It was alcohol, so too much and you'd get something called a hangover the next morning that hurt like nobody's business. He ran his fingers through Ian's hair gently, trying to make him feel better.

Ianios nodded, enjoying the touch. "Yeah...whole hell of a lot." He closed his eyes tight, using the shadow of the red feien's shoulder for protection. Now he knew why Rynn told him to avoid the alcoholic drinks, like wine and beer. But she hadn't mention sake. "That feels good."

"Poor thing," he said, nuzzling his forehead gently. Celaien looked around for somewhere shady - Cele certainly despised the light whenever *she* had a headache, and from the looks of it, Ian was feeling the hurt too. He put his free arm under Ianios's legs, and using one of his wings as a light shield, stood up and started carrying him to a nice, dark corner.

Ianios leaned on Celaien, and once he settled into the darkened corner, he relaxed more. But his head pounded something fierce. Would it ever pass? He sighed, reaching up to rub his temples. He liked Celaien, that was for sure. "Thank you." His whole head felt as if it'd come off it hurt so much. The warm feelings were gone and what was left made him feel all terrible. He wanted to curl up and die he felt so awful.

"Here, let me... face the corner, hmkay?" Celaien ordered gently. Keeping his large red wings up to make the corner as shady as possible, he scooted up behind Ian and started to gently and methodically massage his neck and shoulders, between his wings and back up to his temples and the back of his neck. He learned a lot from his housemates through observation, and whenever Dae's head hurt, this was what Tenan or Cele would do.

Ianios visibly relaxed, sighing softly. He nearly purred, and tried to rumble as Rynn had once when she was pleased, but neither sound came out quite right. He leaned back against Celaien's hands. "You're good at that."

Celaien smiled. "I take it you're feeling better, then?" he murmured into Ian's ear. "That's good." He gave the feien's shoulders one last knead, then wrapped his arms around Ian's waist. "So what's wrong, that made you so upset last night? If I'm prying, you don't have to tell me."

Ianios leaned back into Celaien's arms. "Had been thinking, really. What if I'm not good enough for Nero? His father certainly dislikes me. I'm trouble, seem to get most hurt around me, though I try not too. I get the feeling the others don't like me, Nero just trying to please me." He sighed deeply. "Shalafi spoke of gemstones, merging with one. I think I'd be better off doing that than breeding. No one needs more of me running around." He rubbed his eyes for a moment. "The sake just helped bring it all up to the surface. It's a fear...that no one will want me."

Nero? And... Ianios?? This was news to him, but then, he hadn't been around the shop much lately. Something that was going to change, and right now. He tightened his hold on Ianios just a little, nuzzling his shoulder gently. "Ian, you're good enough for any feien you choose. You're a wonderful individual, and don't ever let anyone, not even Arturo, convince you otherwise." He took a deep breath, trying to gather courage, and the right words. "Ian... even if nobody else does.. *I* want you here... You... you're special... and.." he paused, blushing slightly and pulling at his reserves of determination. "And... if you chose me... then... then I would choose you back." He waited, frozen but almost trembling, for Ian's response.

Ianios turned his head quickly and whimpered. Too fast! Gods, that hurt badly. "You would?" he asked as that stab of pain past. He blinked, turning so he could see Celaien better. His hand came out, brushing his cheek. "Seriously?" He was torn. He did like him, he did, but he liked Nero as well. But Celaien wasn't forbidden to see him. He had no intention of hurting either, but maybe he should let Nero go. Perhaps it'd be better. Oh lord...he was torn between them. But hey, he could love more than one! Who said he had to choose one? He tried finding the right words. "I..I'd be honored. I don't want to hurt either of you, but I'm honored." Was he messing this up? He hoped not. He was feeling all warm again, but this was a different warmth. "Celaien, I dunno how good I am, but I'll do my best by you. And Nero as well."

Celaien flooded with relief, letting out a breath he hadn't been aware he'd been holding. He hugged Ian tightly, pulling him closer to him, and kissed his forehead. "I understand. And I can live with that." He leaned his forehead against Ianios's and smiled gently. "As long as you love me, I can live with that quite well."
