"Fine," he mumbled, just so he could have the last word. Lyrus really wasn't sure what he was going to do now. He didn't want to just leave. It was a pretty long walk from Moo's house to Noya's. And Kilah would come begging for forgiveness sooner or later. That thing must've warped her mind while he was gone. Yeah, that was the only reason Kilah had yelled at him.
Still mentally reassuring himself that Kilah didn't absolutely hate him, Lyrus decided to just walk around the house a few times. It was something to do, after all. So he started towards the building, lost in his thoughts, which altered between worrying that Kilah would never speak to him again and reassuring himself that Kilah had been at fault, not him, and would soon be begging for him to come back.
"See what?" Banda asked, frowning. What was going on? Something was wrong with Noha...er...Noyama's eye? Still frowning faintly, the SM took a small step towards her, tilting his head to the side. "What's going on, Noya?"

The toddler paused, indicating she might've heard Lyrus. Probably not, considering it was more likely she'd yell back at him if that was the case. They were just too much a like when it came to things like that.
When the noise stopped, she was just a tad annoyed. Not scared, annoyed. Lyrus must be trying to scare her, she decided finally. Stupid boys. "Very funny, Lyrus. You better quit it..."
When Noyama spoke, it clearly wasn't what her sibling had expected, and it only took one word to make everything quiet again. "Sister..."
Growling in disgust, "Noyama" (for the time being Noharu) had never had shown such an angry look. "Shut up."
Turning around, she stormed off, as Noharu often did...almost.
Twila had remained dead silent through the whole deal, but when Noharu reached her, the babies hand reached out and grasped around her ankle. With a giggle, she lifted her free hand and pointed up at her. "Haaaaru!"
The only response was, "Er-"

And...walking around houses was easily the dullest thing Lyrus had ever done. The toddler soon grew tired of it and simply plopped down to sit on the grass, absently pulling up a few blades. Kilah was probably talking to Momoro right now... AH. That's why she had yelled! Kilah liked Momoro more now! Even though that thing had bitten him!
Banda was so very confused. So, so very confused. The artist watched Noharu go...or try to...the turned back to Noya, raising a hand to rub the back of his neck. "Um...? What's going on, now..?"

She was unaware of such, but Kilah had walked quite a ways before stopping. Far enough none of them back at the house would've her heard sudden scream.
What happened had been simple. She'd heard Gizmo, and her guard immediatly went down. Silly griff sneaking up on her. But then...he was growling? Then something had jumped at her, which she'd known only by the rush of air.
Gizmo, in turn, attacked whatever that was, and it apparently ran away. But when she finally found his feathery self, there was something to warm to be water. Blood. Not being able to see the injuries, she couldn't tell how bad they were. "Ooh s**t. Don't die, please don't die!"
The griff looked at her questioningly, glancing over at the cut on his leg. It was bad alright, but it wouldn't kill him. Far from it. "Wark?"
Noyama had failed to respond at first, watching Noharu intently. She seemed to have a sudden sympathy with her sibling, but wouldn't put it past her to kick Twila or something for daring to touch her.
But she didn't. Just nudged the baby to the side and continued on her way.
Only when she was out of sight did Noyama acknowledge Banda's question. "Saw things...bad things."

....Right, that was enough of that. Lyrus climbed to his feet and started back in the direction Kilah had gone. No, he wasn't going to apologize. He had no reason to! But maybe Kilah wasnted to apologize by now and just didn't know where he was. Yeah, that would be it. Silly blind girl. Lyrus was being really quiet. Kilah wouldn't be able to find him. So he would come back, and she would apologize, and they could be friends again.
Awkward silence. Well, more eerie than awkward. Even more so to Banda, who couldn't hear it to begin with, and simply stood there turning from one sister to the other, waiting for someone to say something. He remained tense even after Noya...er...Noharu had gone, confused by the whole situation. In the time he had know the pair, Noharu had never just...left. Finally Noyama spoke, and Banda was lucky enough to catch her words, though they only confused him further. "What d'you mean? Bad things..?"

As if understanding him, Kilah's voice became cold again. "Oh, you're alright then?"
Gizmo nodded even if she couldn't see it. "Wark!"
"What was that?" While asking this, she reached out toward one of the roses, careful not to get another thorn caught on her hand as she pulled off the flower and began ripping the petals apart. The fact she was taking her time was the only sign she was thinking about something, and thinking a lot.
The griff didn't know, so just watched her in silence.
"I can hear you," she said loudly. It was times like these she actually found a use for that stupid 'ability'. Positive whatever that thing had been hadn't come back with Gizmo there, she knew right away it was either Lyrus or Momoro.
----------------------
"Bad things..." It seemed to be the only explanation she had. Instead of providing a good answer for his question, she had one of her own. "How you not mad, Banda?"

"Yeah, now you can," Lyrus snapped, pausing a short distance away from Kilah. He vaguely noted that Gizmo was bleeding, but the griffon didn't seem bothered by it, so he made no comment. Instead, he scowled, refolding his arms across his chest. "When you didn't know who I was. Funny how you can hear footsteps but not shouts."
"Mad?" Eh, and now Banda was confused again. He blinked, then raised a brow, frowning faintly. "Mad about what? I'm sorry, Noya, but you've completely lost me."

He was pushing it. It was almost creepy how calmly she answered, how flat her tone was, and how she continued to take her time with this rose, pulling off petal after petal as if unwrapping a Christmas present. "My hearing is better then yours, and hearing people who try to be sneaky-like you-is my ability."
-----
"Mad," she repeated. It was normal for people to get lost when speaking with her. She still didn't speak English as well as she'd have liked. Would've made things either. "Mad about...no hearing."

"I wasn't trying to be sneaky. I just came to see if you were gonna apologize yet, seeing as I didn't do anything. Stop being a b***h, Kilah." He scowled and dropped to sit on the ground, amusing himself with pulling up one grass blade at a time. She could kill roses, he could kill grass.
"Oh.." He fell silent for a moment, then smiled faintly and shook his head. "Not really... I was really upset...but not mad... I went most of my life without hearing. I dunno... At the time, I was more worried about the loss of the headphones then how they had been lost. Does that make sense..?"

In that flat tone,"Nope."
He'd have it hard in life if he kept always expecting a sorry. Not just from her, but from everyone. Would that thing that hurt Gizmo say sorry? No. There wouldn't always be a sorry, even if someone was your friend. Besides, he'd just called her a b***h, so she most certainly wouldn't say anything NEAR 'sorry'.
-----
At first, one might think her shaking her head met she didn't understand. And while that was probably true, the motion wasn't answering him. "No, not what I mean. I mean, all the time. Kilah angry she can't see. Noharu...angry people hurt her. But then you hear nothing, and not angry. I..don't understand."
