Melethia had made it back to her home. She walked inside and took off her robe. She shivered a little bit. It was a little cold inside. Not as cold as it was outside but it was cooler than she would have wanted it. Good thing the outside of her house was made of something that could retain heat well. She took a look at her fire place. Some of the wood was burned, but not all. She grabbed a few more pieces that were in a pile on the side of the fire place and placed them into the fire place. She then lit a match and placed it into the fire to get the fire going. She wanted to get the place warmer not only for herself, but for her guests. She knew Roy was coming and she knew FD was following her by the fact that his scent was going into her nose by the wind.
She then wrote a note to FD.
FD, I'm really sure you are going to come in here to make sure I'm ok. It's fine just make yourself at home. I will be most likely showering when you read this. If Roy gets here before I'm done just tell him he can make himself at home too.
-Melethia
She then went and stuck the note on the outside part of the door that was the one that led outside. Melethia took off the heels and tossed them to the side.
"Damn I hate those things!" She said, "Why did he make me wear them!" She was kinda doing what Roy told her to do, pretend she did make it home last night. She walked her way to her closet to get something to wear that was more of her style. She also made a mental note to burn the sparkle dress ASAP. She then made her way to the bathroom and closed the door behind her as she took her shower and try to cool off.

Fire Dragon had arrived at Melethia’s house. There was a note on the front door:
FD, I'm really sure you are going to come in here to make sure I'm ok. It's fine just make yourself at home. I will be most likely showering when you read this. If Roy gets here before I'm done just tell him he can make himself at home too.
-Melethia
He decided to leave the note on the door in case Roy arrived, so he would know to come in. FD entered, sure to shut the door again afterwards to keep the heat inside. There was a fire going in the fireplace, with a stack of more wood for it on the side. FD could hear the sound of the shower, just as Mel’s note had indicated. The dragon took his scarf off and plopped himself in a chair by the fireplace.

Melethia had washed her body and hair and now was letting the hot water hit her face. Her mind was stuck on a certain subject, Roy.
"Just because I'm excited for Roy coming here, doesn't mean it's going to be good for me."She thought,"Who knows what we are going to talk about. Roy just may not like me or maybe he will, I'm not sure." She turned the water off and grabbed a towel before coming out from behind the shower curtain. She came out with the towel wrapped around her body. She looked at the mirror which was covered by steam. She grabbed a cloth and wiped some of the steam off just enough to see her face. She saw herself and frowned.
"But what if I'm something Roy doesn't want. I'm not exactly attractive. Not with all these scars. It's a sign of my age or at least the fact that I'm older than I look Then again alot of those kids don't know what it's like. What it's like to have scars and have the memories that come with it!...Wait why am I talking like this?" She shook her head and got into some clothes. She put on a black gown that were long sleeved, some black socks, and some black fingerless gloves. Why the gloves you ask? She was hiding the scars on her hands. She then brushed her hair. It looked better now that she's done something with it. She got out of the bathroom and put her dirty clothes in a basket meant for them.
She then went back to the fire place and saw FD. She smiled a little. She had a feeling he was going to be here.
"I figured you were going to stay here FD." She said, "I don't know why, but I was sure you were going to do this."

“I can’t say that I know why, either, actually,” FD replied to Mel after she entered the room, having finished her shower and changed clothes. “But as many worlds people seem to come from into this world, we do seem to be the only two fire-based dragons around these parts. And not even from the same world,” he went on. “I don’t know… it’s just, knowing how I feel about Kaoru, if I had found him and never gotten to express how I feel about him, I don’t know what I’d do. You know?”
FD was hard pressed to figure out what exactly to say to Mel. He didn’t know what was going on with her and Roy, in fact, he wasn’t sure if they knew what was or wasn’t going on between the two of them. But Melethia was his friend, and Roy was family – he cared about them.
"So... how are things?"

"I feel better," She answered. "It's just I don't know what Roy's going to tell me. I'm kinda scared that he's going to tell me that he loves someone else." Melethia looks at the window. She was looking to see if Roy was coming.
She then walked to the kitchen to hopefully find something to eat. She saw some cans of soup. Guess she was having soup, so she opened some cans of the same soup and put it in a pot. She came back with the pot and put it over the fire. Melethia added in 2 more logs to the fire and let the soup start to hear up.
"I don't know what to do if it's something that won't feel right with me." She said.

"Well, Roy is from another world, so it’s possible he has feelings for someone from there." FD was saying. "But he's here now. We're all here now. We need to build our lives in this world;" he continued, "I mean, it's not like any of us have plans to go back where we came from any time soon.” Not that the dragon would return to the world from which he came if ever the opportunity presented itself. This new world had been kind to him: he’d found Nils, a community that didn’t judge him for his being, irreplaceable things…
"I worry about him sometimes. And I KNOW Kaoru worries about him a lot." He went on. "Maybe it's because Roy has family here, which is a good thing – don’t get me wrong. I mean, his mother's here, and his uncle’s here, and I might not be related to him by blood, but he’s still family to me. And there are so many people he knows from where he came that are also here - he’s always being presented with reminders of where he comes from. He devotes so much of his time to searching for his father, did you know? It’s almost as if he’s looking for more links to where he came from, trying to carve a way back,” FD mused.
“And maybe I’m the one who’s wrong to think that he can’t find his way back if that’s what he wants. And it’s not like I know what he does or doesn’t want. But…” he paused, “you can’t dwell on the past, you know? We’re both old enough to know that, actually, aren’t we?” FD smiled at his last comment. He and Mel had to be the oldest members of FEF, he thought. Actually, he realized Roy and Mel were arguably the most age-separated two people he could think of. No, wait; Rei was younger, he remembered. Not that age mattered in the dragon’s eyes. “What about you, though? Haven’t you loved someone else before?” FD asked. He realized that might have been too personal a question to ask after he put the words out, but what is one to do when one can’t take back what they say?

"Roy maybe thinking of going back to where he came from?" Melethia's eyes started to water a bit. She didn't want Roy to leave. "If he left, I might just end up going back to the way I was, hateful and bitter at the world." She wiped her eyes a little bit and calmed down a bit.
"I know I'm old compared to everyone else here." She said, "I know somethings, but some other things made me uneasy. There were savage battles going on somewhere in the world I came from. A lot of it was just members of the Dagon family fighting each other. The Dagon family is big. I don't know how many siblings I have but it's a lot. When you have a bunch of people who are descendants of the man they called the God King, for some unknown reason, (He was kinda powerful) there were bound to be fights somewhere. So the peace was making me uneasy at first." Melethia didn't know why she said that but, she did.
"As for love, I did love someone before." She turned her head to look out the window. "He was an ice dragon by the name of Kunzite. A lot of people didn't like me marrying him. Then again a lot of people didn't like ANYTHING I did." She paused a bit. She need to get the rest of her story out. "But he died in battle, not long before I came here. It's kinda bittersweet that I came here though. I would have ended up being killed by a family member, but" She paused again. There were tears coming down her face. "I left behind my son. My only child. Pyrrhus."

So Melethia had been married before, and had a child, and her husband had died before she came here and had to leave her own son. FD realized he’d have absolutely no idea what he’d do or where he’d be or how he’d go on if he lost Nils. For her to have been able to fall for Roy meant to FD that she really had been able to move on with her life. Her story made him sad, but at the same time, gave him the impression that whether or not things would work out with Roy, she’d be alright.
“Well…” FD began saying, “I don’t know what’s up with Roy, but if he’s honest about himself, and you’re honest about yourself, then things will turn out the way they’re meant to. And you have to be ready for whatever that is.”

"Thing should work out then." Melethia said. "It should work out well."
"Because if it doesn't I might as well being a bitter person." She thought, "So it won't sting as much. There wasn't much room in my life for love anyway and when I did love, it stung so hard when it was gone! When Kunzite died I felt that there was no room for emotions like love and I left the area. I ment to see if I could go back to the way I was. This wasn't exactly what I ment when I came here. Poor Pyrrhus. He's with out either of his parents." She started to wipe her tears. She then checked the soup. It was getting warm. Melethia went to the kitchen and came back with bowls.
"Would you like some soup FD?" She asked.

"I'd love some, thank you." FD replied to the question. Soup sounded great, considering the weather and that he hadn't had breakfast.
(pathetically short post is pathetically short)

Melethia made a small smile as she poured some soup into a bowl for FD. "Here you go FD" She said as she handed it to him. She also made sure she gave him a spoon. She then poured some soup for herself. She ate the soup quietly as she looked outside, waiting for him to come.
"I'm waiting for you Roy."

"Thank you," FD replied to Melethia in receiving the soup. As he had his first taste of it, he let some of the liquid linger on his tongue before finally swallowing it completely. Simple, tasteful food. There was no substitution for it. "It's delicious, Mel," he made sure to tell her before having more. He glanced at the same window she was standing by, for sign of Roy showing up any time soon.

There was a short note scribbled under the note Mel had left on her door for Roy. It read:
Sorry Mel (and Uncle FD, if you're here too), but it seems I won't be able to show up today. Something's happening in Estarcia, and it looks like they NEED our help. Funny, considering from what I heard, THEY didn't help us during Easter.
If you really, really, REALLY need to talk to me Mel (or if you and FD wanna burn some things), you can find me at the Guard house. Hurry though. I doubt we'll be there for long.
Roy.

Melethia didn't say a word as she ate her soup and looked out the window. She frowned, she was wondering if he was coming. Did Roy forget all about her? Was he still trying to sort out his feelings? Or was it something else? She went and took another spoonful of soup as those thoughts swirled in her head.
She then heard something hit the door. She got up and opened the door. There was a note from Roy. She wasn't going to let this pass her by. She had to say what she wanted to say. She ran to her room and changed her clothes to something more battle appropriate. She grabbed an Elfire tome and ran out the door. She ran where Roy said he was going to be. She wasn't going miss this chance. Though FD isn't going to know what's going on seeing as how she took the note with her. She also may have shoved him or anything that got in her way. Well, that's proof that Melethia's emotional again.
