{Hey everyone, really sorry about the delay in this post. Life's been descending into chaos leading up to my graduation from college and in the wind down since, first break I've had}
Lucien kept a passive face as the three decided on their course of action, Miss Shiro and Fuyuki both displaying an interesting sense of affection for Tarvainth, despite his past. That will need dissection later, it'll offer an interesting insight into these two people. But, that can wait for a later time Lucien took the time they presented him as they made their decision and sat down in a small chair directly in front of them, so that he could keep them all in sight as he questioned them. A brief observation showed him that Fuyuki was trying to rally his energy for this and for that he gave small more genuine smile "I'll do my best to keep this brief then, as courtesy." He said softly before clearing his throat. "I suppose I'll start with the beginning: Do have any notion as to why this... er, Porath... would choose to kidnap you? Do you have recollection of a man by the name of Aoi Zaya? He was reported as being first on the scene, alongside Ollor." Lucien asked, his voice coming out much more clipped and sharp, far unlike his usual wind-like manner.

Fuyuki patted Tarvi-kun's head, not patronizing him, but because his friend could be so strong. It amazed him. Yet that thought vanished when he remembered Tarvainth did not understand why neither he nor Miss Shiro wished to speak in-depth about what happened. Tarvi-kun most likely had PTSD and didn't know it. I'll stay by your side until you can stand on your own, he silently promised to Tarvainth. It was a selfish promise, self-centered and reckless. His family would not approve, but it wasn't like they needed his approval when they decide his fate. It's not like I won't marry the Kami's familiar when the time comes...it's not that I can't abandon my friend. His first friend outside of his family's influence and history. A good, kind friend who needed a friend. He has Miss Shiro as well, so things will turn out well.
Fuyuki glanced at Mr. Tokeran and rallied as much energy as he could to stay awake. "Well, it was my own fault. I guess...I wanted to do something on my own, so I selfishly decided to rescue the purple dragoness, which is how I got captured. I don't know what motivated Zaya of all people to become involved..." Fuyuki trailed off. It not due to his fatigue. His was lost in his own thoughts. "...Maybe Zaya did not wish to see another life enslaved. Whether dragon enslaving humans or human enslaving dragons, it may not matter in the end. You'll have to speak to him, if he'll speak. The stories told by my family suggest he isn't found of wind elementals or spirits, which is understandable given his circumstances." Fuyuki shrugged and allowed Mr. Tokeran to decide his own course of action.

Shiro glanced at Tarvainth, keeping a careful eye on him to make sure she noticed right away of anything they said seems to be harmful. Luckily, his breath seemed to be steady and slow. She would have almost thought he was asleep, except she knew he hardly ever slept without nightmares that made his breath short and covered him in sweat, until she woke him. His years of imprisonment and torment couldn't be erased anytime soon, if ever, but Fuyuki seemed to give him strength.
For the moment she sat near the bed, listening, watching and waiting for Lucien's questions for the dragon to be done, and see if he had anything to ask of her.
"That wasn't selfish, Fu." Tarvainth mumbled from where he was laying against the other dragon's chest. "You saved me."

Lucien listened attentively as Fuyuki spoke of how he had became captured in the attempt to save another dragon. While that was delightfully noble of Fuyuki, it did raise the question as to the first dragon was kidnapped in the first place. And then there was all the injuries dealt upon Fuyuki, as well the small latticework of scars that could be somewhat seen on Tarvainth's body. The man seemed fond of brutality, but why? "I'll make sure to bear that in mind if I choose to speak with the man." Lucien replied, speaking of this Aoi Zaya, noting that Fuyuki's family seems to have a long history of dealing with him, which means he may be an immortal or otherwise a creature of abnormal longevity. Must have their respect too, which means power. Keep to yourself on that one. Lucien brooded, as he mulled over the information. At last he cleared his throat. "Very well just a few more questions, though a few may be more difficult and I will not hold it against any of you to wish not speak of it. A rather powerful flame, one report even stated it was a lava elemental, was reported in a fight between Zaya and Porath. Ollor mentioned it was an Enslaved creature. After its release Zaya departed and Ollor was forced to gather back up. During this time a storm spirit was Enslaved. Tarvainth if you will, could you explain to me the presence of this fiery creature?"
"Additionally, Lady Shiro, it is to my knowledge that you and your two sisters were both present. It is understood that you were working in collusion with Fuyuki's brother Tachibana, your sister Okami was brought by Ollor to assist in the peaceful settlement of this. However, once Kuro arrived, multiple things happened I'm unsure of that resulted in my current predicament. I'm not putting anything on you sister, in fact I desperately hope that this was just coincidence, but could you tell me what Kuro's involvement was in this?" Lucien asked of her, his face completely placid and almost placating.

When Tarvainth spoke, Fuyuki smiled and felt a tad bit better about his actions. Yes, he did save Tarvainth, or at least helped save him. He would make sure his friend continued to live free, as any creature should. "Is that what was in the sword...Oh, wait! I forgot to mention, but Miss Lizbeth, the red dragon from the ball, was also at the mountains to save the purple dragoness. Ah, sorry for interrupting you." Fuyuki blushed, feeling ashamed of his rudeness. "But she left not long after I managed to sneak into the cave. I had originally planned on just scoping out the place, but I ended up freeing the purple dragoness and getting captured instead, which was around the time when that freak storm ended." He looked meekly down at his hands, which meant he was looking at Tarvi-kun. Again, he blushed because he was being rude. He needed to hold his tongue better. Maybe it was his exhaustion that made him behave so rudely? Fuyuki would have to think on it for awhile.

Shiro nodded her head, protectiveness for her sister in her heart. "Kuro did what had to be done in the situation. She may have done it differently then I would have, she always had had a bit a a rougher side them me," She explained, "but we are in charge of protecting New Shiro with all of our power. I don't believe my sister's actions were the cause of your predicament however, Lucien, that would be Porath." Shiro's eyes darted to Tarvainth to make sure that her words and speaking his old Master's name had not hurt him. He was still breathing soundly and she suspected while he looked as though he could be sleeping, he was not.
"However, if there is anything in my power I can do to help you, I shall do my best." She spread her arms in an offering gesture.

Lucien gave an easy smile when Fuyuki answered for Tarvainth regarding the fire elemental. It appeared to have been an Enslaved fire held within a sword, perhaps the one the giant had been swinging around at the ball during his fight. If that was true, then Ollor must have felt the Enslavement on the poor creature and rushed to help, most likely by this freak storm Fuyuki mentioned. That must have been the primary reason Ollor got involved, after that he must have felt obligated to help when he saw another creature had been Enslaved because of it. He did note the presence of another dragon with mental sigh, his list seemed to be growing ever higher. He merely waived the apology Fuyuki gave "Relax child, whatever you can give me in information, whenever you give it, is more than welcome. No need to apologize, in fact interrupt me more often. We winds tend to get well, long-winded when we speak"
His eyes, so briefly it was almost nothing more than a flash, narrowed as Lady Shiro spoke of her sister. It was most curious the way she seemed to be covering for her sister. It seemed to be a consistent thing: the winds would never dare speak ill of Kuro, but occasionally he would hear small things that would tell him that Kuro was no angel like her sister Shiro. It was an important matter to Lucien though that he learn what it was that she did in that cave, but it was clear that the present company would not be suitable for such a conversation. He gave a light stretch, glancing and making a double take when he saw the light creeping into the window. Is it already nearly morning? I hope Mikora is well now. "My goodness the time! I promised you all that I would only spend a few moments with you, but here it is nearly morning. I do apologize sincerely." He exclaimed, getting up and opening the window to listen to the birdsong that was beginning to start its morning chorus. "I feel the winds have enough information at the moment to spread throughout itself, move along all of you, let the rest know." He said o nobody in particular. All at once the air within the small hospital room nearly rippled with force as all the winds occupying the room rushed out the window like a vacuum. Lucien gave an apologetic shrug as the room settled. "If you feel like you've missed anything and would like to inform me, please just say my name and that you request an audience with me. Anywhere is fine, we winds will hear it and I'll be there shortly. But for now, I thank you for your hospitality and may we meet again in better circumstances. Farewell." he said, giving a deep bow to the three of them.
Afterwards, Lucien slowly dissolved into mist and departed through the window, leaving nothing but a light fragrance of mountain laurel.

Fuyuki had no way of responding to Mr. Lucien because he was already gone, dissipated in the wind. Then again, he was still recovering from shock when the room rippled with the invisible force of what he could only assume was caused by the wind spirits of Kuro Shiro. For him, it was unsettling to know he and the others had an audience during the whole of their conversation. "Somehow, we stayed up all night and into the morning. Tarvi-kun, Miss Shiro, please go and rest," he requested. "I must sleep as well to properly recover."

Shiro nodded to Fuyuki, when his words drew her eyes away from where the wind elemental had been a moment before. "Yes, we all need rest." She walked over to the side of the bed and tried to lift Tarvainth, but his little human hands clung to the other dragon.
"Can we... can we come see him tomorrow?" Tarvainth asked her, as he let go of Fuyuki.
Shiro's eyes softened as they often did for the big dragon. "Of course Tarvainth. You're free now, you can go wherever you wish in Kuro Shiro. And I will come back with you." She looked at Fuyuki, hoping that was alright that they came back the next day.
Tarvainth relaxed into Mrs. Shiro's arms as she replied that they could see Fu again tomorrow. He felt responsible for Fu's injuries and wanted to make sure he was getting better. And he was his friend. "Thank you..." He muttered, feeling exhausted. Even being in his magically induced smaller form, he wasn't fully recovered yet.

Fuyuki nodded to Miss Shiro, then lightly patted Tarvainth's head. "You are always welcomed to visit me, Tarvainth," he said, punctuating his words with a yawn. "Like Miss Shiro says, you are free to travel wherever you want, and do whatever you want. Visit me whenever you want..." His words trailed off as he finally lost his battle against sleep. Within a moment, Fuyuki was in a deep, much deserved sleep.
[Bss, Loiiy, it's Kuro Shiro...not New Shiro...]

[Thanks Snow, fixed it sweatdrop ]
Tarvaith watched as Fu fell asleep and felt happy for his friend. He could get a small reprieve from pain in sleep, as Tarvainth knew well. "Fu is a good dragon." He muttered to Shiro as she walked out of the room with him in her arms. He felt Shiro run her fingers softly through his short hair and he settled against her, hoping he wasn't heavy.
"Yes, he is. And you are a good dragon too Tarvainth."
Tarvainth had never received a praise like that before Fu and Shiro and it still jolted him a little. I am good? He had killed and hurt and captured anyone or anything Porath had told him too. He was a monster. Except Mrs. Shiro and Fu had both told him he was. That Porath was at fault for those deeds, not him. If a good person said you were good, did that make you good? Or did it just make them generous? He fell asleep in Shiro's arms, thinking that idea over.
