((Yes, she is highly amusing. *coughCRAZYcough* xD;;; ))
"Why, of course!! I mean... well, it would be difficult in your condition, but I have everything needed.... Not a regular bath, no.... It would be difficult for you to lay down and get up without opening up your wounds, but... we have a very nice open air bath which would be very easy to slip into. THat would be best, obviously, so I'll set you up with that," she concluded happily, not even asking for the other's input. Of course, she would just have to wake Alti for this.
((xD;;;; Have you ever seen bunkun's (from DA) art? Allora is just like Lo's mom.... xD;;;;; ))

"What exactly does...'open' entail?'" He asked, realizing that straight out answers worked best with the woman. The word conjured up a few things in his mind and he hoped that it didn't mean he had to get naked in front some group of...storm people. How would a bath of air get off all this blood anyway?
Scratching at his hed with a frown, Haar sighed heavily, still muttering under his breath for some sort of deliverance if the bath was what he thought.
[[No, but Lo's mom must be crazy. 83]]

SonataBlue Dark eyes moved over to look at the boy behind him before returning to the puddle at his feet. His fingers tightened over the cloak in his hand and he nodded, backing away. Leading the way, he exited the room and started back up the stairs, checking over his shoulder frequently to make sure that the diplomat was still right behind him.
"Sayael!" he called urgently, reaching the deck. "We've got to tell you... there's water in the cabin!"
But I did reply in RAGE. ><
If I'm a bit scatter-brained right now, I apologize. I am currently writing my final exam paper for history while baking a pie and doing this... xD;;; ))
Sayael turned as the young death prince came running up the stairs. "Water wha--?!" he began, but was cut off as the boat emitted a loud screaching noise. He cringed at the sound, stuffing his fingers into his ears. He tried to mutter out a spell to quiet the sound. But it didn't work... at least, not entirely. True the sound did quieten, but it didn't stop.
And it was at that moment that they passed through the mirage of the Wall.
Jillian followed Faryn up the stairs to find himself confronted with the glowing image of the Wall. His hands gripped the rails with unneccesary force as they neared it, his entire body tensing. He didn't want to go back; he couldn't go back. It was wrong. It was bad. It... His eyes squenched together as the Wall loomed ever nearer.
And then they were entering it... and past it. But something strange was happening to the boat. It seemed to be... crumbling.

"It means an outside bath, of course. I don't expect you'll have taken one before.... After all, they're native to the Storms Kingdom.... THey're very relaxing, though.... But don't worry," she said, smiling, almost as if she had read the other's thoughts, "You'll be toweled and it will most likely be empty because it is the royal open air bath... or, actually, one of them because we have many.... ANyway, I doubt anyone else will be there."

Haar winced at the thought. At the very least, he'd be alone-- and that as all he wanted. "Nnm, I guess it couldn't hurt to take a bath," he murmured, his features almost reddening as he lowered his head to stare at the floor.
[[Lol, actually I have seen that. XD Lol, his mom is yaoi obsessed? D: ... XD]]

((Yep. x3
Ohyah. Annnd. Happy almost-to-page-one-hundred. :"D ))
Allora gave the young man an approving smile, her hands placed on their respective hips. "Right, I'll get everything ready for you," she said happily, making a mental note to wake Alti and prod him into taking a bath. If Haar and Alti weren't madly in love yet... well, she would just have to make it happen!! (xD;;; )
She exited the room with a last departing smile and began to make the preperations for an empty open-air bath... empty until Haar (and then Alti) entered, that is.
A knock sounded on the door as a servant, no doubt sent by Allora, came to pick the Fire native up for his bath.

[[Omg, Haar is going to spazz. XD]]
Scrambling to pick up the clothes Allora had left him, and still be quiet enough to allow Alti to sleep, Haar rushed for the door to open it with a frazzled look. Even if he was going to be aloe, he was still more than a little unsure about this whole open bath idea. It wasn't the most pleasing idea ever but...he didn't want to disrespect the woman by declining her offer. Besides, maybe he'd learn a bit more about how the storms people lived if he tried something out that originated there (and was obviously still a popular practice).

((Haha. Yup. xD;; ))
Allora waited about fifteen minutes after sending the servant before she hurriedly made her way, beaming, to her son's bedroom. She checked him over for a couple minutes, making sure that he was recovered enough to get up, before impatiently waking him.
Alti's bright eyes were fogged with sleep as he blinked bleerilly up at his mother. What had...? He remembered telleporting back home and then... then he hadn't felt so well and... Black. He had probably passed out... which meant Haar would have seen and... well, that was embarrassing.
A small frown touched his lips as his mother explained that, to escape the risk of further sickness, it would be best to bathe and get all those icky germs off.
"Come on," she cooed, beaming. "It'll be good."
Of course, Alti had neither the mentallity nor the energy to refuse. And a bath might be good, anyway....

Haar had just finished getting off all the dried blood from places he hadn't realized blood could've gotten to. He also had washed his hair in record timing, so it would start drying as quickly as possible. It was still wet but thankfully wasn't drenched, merely hanging in shaggy, damp strands.
Picking at a newly-found cut along his stomach, Haar frowned gently. It was in the worst possible place, a few inches below his waist line, an area that couldn't quite be called his stomach anymore... and there was no way he was going to have Allora heal that gash. No way in hell. Ceris would not be doing that job either. He'd just have to wait this one out and pray it didn't scar over.

Alti felt slightly very dazed as he passed through his unclothing and soaping and all the preliminary stuff that led up to the actual bath. Dizzy and slightly wobbly, he made his way out to the open air bath, a towel wrapped firmly around his midsection.
He didn't look as if he was actually capable of standing, let alone walking. He stumbled slightly and his hand reached out instinctively to cling to one of the rocks surroundin the pool. He frowned, the pain of a scuffed palm seeming to bring him at least slightly out of his daze.
And that was when, looking up, he noticed Haar. He did a double take, taking a step back and almost falling.
((Annnd... now I leave to go walk the dog. I'll be back later... maybe.))

[[Okey. I have to eat dinner. :B]]
Red eyes instantly flickered upwards at the sound of skin hitting up against the rocks surrounding the relatively large area. He did not usually have such keen senses, but the area...for some reason seemed to echo every little movement, so it wasn't hard to hear whoever had entered the pool. Fingers habitually reaching out for the heavy weight of his sword that wasn't there, Haar frowned as he realized he had left every single one of his weapons in Alti's room. Of course he had his assortment of daggers and such hidden away in his clothes, but those were far off in the corner of the room. Too far off to help him.
Whoever it was, they were just beyond his view, obsured by the edges of rocks and such...but they would be for long. He just needed to tilt his head a bit and-
"Al...Alti?" His mouth felt dry.
Noting the odd way the slender teen was grasping onto the rocks, Haar made an attempt to steady the boy, making sure that his own towel was very much in place before he did so. "Wh...Are you...okay?" He asked, his expression one that of concern for the other.

"Ehh...?" Alti scrabbled for a moment with the rock before his feeble fingers finally gave up to him and he fell to the ground with a soft 'thud.' His head was pounding and shrieking with pain like it was going to split down the middle. He raised an un-scathed hand to his forehead, eyes fluttering shut as he tried to regain what small semblance on consciousness he had left.
"Nnn.... Mum told me to... bathe to... get germs....off...." he mumbled slowly, his brow knitting together as he tried to make the pain go away. Unfortunately, it wasn't working.

"I don't know why your mother, of all people, would've let you out of bed," Haar mumbled with a slightly quizzical grin. Crouching down to the teen's level, the young soldier almost smirked as he realized why the boy's poor mother had given up her paranoia for a bit in order to ship her son out of her care-- even though she was probably secretly watching somehow... He swore, that woman was worse than any crushing young girl he'd ever met in his life.
"Up you go," he said in a sing song voice, helping the teen up with a frown as he noted the boy's still very sickly appearance. "Hn. Well, if she didn't want any germs I'm surprised she let you in a bath with me. I thought she was smarter than that," he murmured in a soft tone, brushing damp strands from bright orange eyes.

A weak smile formed on the pale boy's lips. "Mmm... s'pose you're right..." he mumbled. Truth be told, at the moment he didn't exactly have the strength of mind to think about the reasons for anything his mother did. Bath or bed. Those were what currently sounded most appealing (and most sensible) at the moment and, seeing as the former was closest, he settled on that.
"Anyway... a bath... sounds good... and warm," he murmured, shivering slightly.
