Irvine, who was still believing what Isdra had told him, was staring at the crystal. It still amazed him. "'etty," he muttered as he handed it back to Halcyon, a bit sad. He liked the 'etty thing, but Ishie would get made if he didn't give it back to Ite. "'ank 'ous.."
Paen arrived shortly after they had and spotted Irvine. "Irvine! How you're sis'?" Irvine kind of shrugged since he didn't know the urgency of the situtation. Turning to Cordain he asked the same thing to him, "She ok?"
Yawning from the stuff they had numbed her with, Isdra made a loud entrance. No wheel chair, no help, just her. "I'm fine, Pops. See?" She held up her stitched and wrapped hand in the air and grinned. Turning she also pointed to the side of her face which also had a large bunch of stitches going up it.
"God kid! Don't freak me out like that! Do you know how many tickets I'm probably getting from the trip here?!" the bickering continued, but it was obvious that the two of them were quite relieved to see one another.

"You won't be getting tickets, I'll simply explain to the police the situation and they'll let it drop." Cordain said after they had finished speaking. Halcyon looked up at Cordain and smiled at him, "You've done dirty work for the police too?"
There was a cough, a moment of silence and Cordain cleared his work, "...I let them use my hotel for free when they require extra beds or when police or officials from out of town are in the area."
Halcyon nodded his head, he knew that was one way he got some pull in the world, but Halcyon also knew about Cordain's other jobs. Hard to keep such from a kid as bright and observant as him. He gave a smile and looked at Irvine, "Maybe I can find something crystal for you and Isdra later and shape it when I'm better into something the two of you would like?"

Paen glanced over at Cordain and chuckled, "Thanks." Walking over, the brunette man offer a hand out to the other adult. "Paen. Paen Mize. Nice to meet you. Thanks for keeping my ditz of a daughter from bleeding all over the ice rink." His greeting was matched with his daughter's thanks and offer of a hand.
"Thanks for keeping my player of a Pops from being put in debt from all the laws he just broke," after a smirk and a laughter, Isdra turned and sat next to Halcyon, "I'm sure the little fur-ball would love that, wouldn't 'ya?" she questioned the smaller child, who happily nodded. "What do you say then?"
"'Esh pease..."

Cordain accepted Paen's hand, "Cordain Vinataro, the pleasure is mine Paen." he bows his head as he shook Paen's hand briefly. It was plain as day that he was a dark elf, and he was getting looks from quite a few nurses as a result.
Halcyon smiled at Irvine before he looked at Isdra and spoke quietly to her, "Yours won't be as big but...I am sure I can find some way of making them mountable so you can wear it on a necklace." he then sat back and looked thoughtful, "...Or maybe...if I practice...I could make earrings of diamond..."

Isdra waved her hand infront of herself. "Dude, don't work about it. I'm not worth a diamond, I mean, look how much crap I just made you guys do for me. Really please don't worry about it," pausing, she need he was probably going to insist, just like every person who wanted to give someone something did, "...but... If you must, then just make something out of something cheap. I'm a really ditz and I'd feel bad if I lost something expensive.... What kind of stuff do you like?" Isdra questioned, changing the subject.

Halcyon closed his eyes for a second before opening them and smiling at her, "I like...well...I like learning new things...and crystals...anything crystalline..." he held up the one he always carried around with him. "This one is special...it woke me up from my sleep and brought me into my father's life...I...get an odd pain when I'm parted from it though."
He looked up and then back to Isdra, "I remember a girl...a plant girl named Papina mentioning something about me seeing...Nara was it? Whoever normally awakens children from their scrolls. We've yet to get a response from her or so my father has mentioned a couple times."

"That doesn't help me much..," she muttered to herself, but snapped out of it when he mentioned Nara. "You haven't talked to her yet? Hmm... Here. Here's the address for the library. Ask for Professor Aziza, heh... Mr. Dude, anyway... Ask them for him and explain to him you're a scroll. If he doesn't believe you, then tell him that I sent you, if he still doesn't believe tell him this. 'Mr. Dude! MR. DUDE! You're my favorite teacher.' He'll believe you then, for sure." The teacher chuckled at the image she got of his face.
"Back to the subject I was on, though... That's very pretty," she was again distracted by something he had done, but this time it was the crystal. It was quite beautiful. Shaking herself out of her daze, she continued what she was saying before hand, "What do you like OTHER then those to things? I can't quite mold crystals like you and not much I can give other then a book to teach you things. I want it to be a gift of equal value. Something I have to make! Something I have to put effort into."

Halcyon tilts his head, "Hmm...Oh we've already met the old man, or my father did. He came there to find out what I was and I guess I accidentally awoke." He sat back and looked at Isdra. His mind was working, working hard, what was it that he wanted.
Then he thought about what he read in his books, and then something his father had done previously and then it struck him what he wanted. He looked at Isdra and with sudden motion, he was up and kissed her. It wasn't a skilled kiss, it was the first kiss of a boy that was nearly a teen.

Liking him or not, that was much to forward for Isdra's tastes and she most defintally made that obvious. There was also the fact that she was still incredibly self conscious about her skin ailment. The stating of too forward came in the form a loud smack across the cheek, leaving a large red hand print. A right handed hand print. "Kid," this was also the first time she'd call him kid in the whole time she'd known him. Kid was almost like a new name for most people she just met. "Patience is a virtue. Learn some. Excuse me while I get my hand re-stitched up, since I just ripped about 3 of them out. I expect an apology when I get back, weather you give me one is your choice," that was all she said before she stood and walked back to up the nurse who sighed and took her into another area.
Blinking in shock for a moment, Paen was most defintally shocked. "Damn... I guess that's what happens when you grow up with a prayer for a dad..." He muttered to himself as he turned and walked toward Halcyon. "Normally, I'd be hurting you, but I think you just got enough pain and shock for the moment. You ok?"

Halcyon nodded his head slightly, "I'm fine." he said, he looked like he could tear up at any moment but his expression remained flat. He folded his arms as he looked up at Paen then over to Cordain, "...Player...Player...So does that mean he's like you father?" he asked, changing the subject.
Cordain gave a smirk and shook his head, "...I have to say that yes, I am a player...It's hard to break century old habits, especially when you out lived...three...four wives and children?" he tilted his head. He gave it a shrug then knelt down as he looked Halcyon in the eye.
"You think long and hard on your apology to Isdra, any woman worth being with, is a woman worth apologizing to properly." He stood and smiled at Paen, "Isn't that right Paen?"

Paen nodded, "It's true... I may never have had a wife, but there was a girl I liked quite a lot when I was a teen. We'd know each other since we were kids. But we got in this huge fight about how fickle I was with women and didn't make up for years, mainly because I never had the balls to apologize. When we did make up, it was much to late for me to tell her I'd liked her. She was married and had two kids..." Paen spaced out a minute, but shook himself back. "Sorry, I guess I got sucked into my story. My bad."
After about 15-20 minutes, Isdra walked back in the room with an extremely pained look on her face. Paen rose an eyebrow at the girl who seemed to be in a decent bit of pain. "They couldn't numb me. I seem to have bad effects from the numbing stuff, like, I fall a sleep from it and I still have some in my system, so if they had given me more I would have been knocked out. So hand hurts a whole ******** lot." The pain was to a piont where she didn't avoid swearing, but soon regretted that. Paen gave the girl a smack on the shoulder, hard enough to hurt, but not enough to do any real damage. The teen looked down, knowing she shouldn't have sworn with her brother around. "Sorry..." she muttered quietly sitting in a chair in the waiting area, away from Halcyon, Irvine, and both fathers.
The youngest child, who was confused about what had just happened, wobbled of his seat and walked toward his older sister. "Ishie k?" the toddler questioned, but his only answer was to be picked up and set on his sibling's lap. Though she had picked him up, she didn't really pay attention to him. Irvine was, for the first time, agravated by this and changed his mind quiet abruptly, moving and going back toward his father.

Halcyon watched Isdra return before he walked over to her and looked her in the eyes, "...I won't apologize to you for what I did until I can do it properly." he said to her before he walked away. He looked very serious on this subject. Cordain gave a blink and smirked at Isdra, "...If...I understand that boy as much as I do...you might have just ended up with someone who would throw himself in harm's way for you..."
He stretched and nodded to Paen before he gave a faint smile and rubbed a shoulder, "Boy's starting to remind me of myself when I was young...kind of scary." he muttered as he made his way towards the door, following Halcyon's path.
"Take care Isdra, you and Irvine should drop by the penthouse sometime!"
