The afternoon sun shone through the little round window above Kyou's head, casting a pillar of light in front of the pooped out Kyou. It had been the third day, the third day in a row that Kyou didn't slept at all. A large empty coffee pot and a coffee mug with a domo face sat beside the pile of Kyou's notes, drained right down to the last drop.
After the chimera hatchings, Kyou had written a long and detailed report about the chimeras. But there was one thing that's bothering him still. If the only way he could create a chimera is by combining magic and science technologies, how can chimeras in the ancient days existed? When science was so undeveloped? And since 3 days ago, Kyou had started to do a detailed research on the histories and myths on Chimeras again. And once he starts, he will be so engrossed into his researches he can't stop to rest. Not until he passed out from exhaustion.
Dark shadows had long lingered under Kyou's eyes, and he can barely keep his eyes opened, but he cannot sleep yet! Tsu will be coming over anytime soon to pick up his newborn Raevan, and he don't trust Lazarus being able to handle it so smoothly... judging on Laz's and Tsu's 'foul' relationship.
Rubbing his eyes, Kyou got up and decided to go refill his coffee pot. He opened the door to his lab and saw the new Raevan floating innocently in the middle of the lab, head turning around when he heard the doors opened.
Lazarus was nowhere to be seen, at least for now anyway.

Tsu had been taking some time off from seeing Raevans for a little bit after his last run in with Lazzie. Something about running a check up on Kyou's charge just ended up making Tsu tired and irritable beyond belief. Not to mention since he recently had stopped using the labs as a sleeping quarter as well as the office for check ups, Tsu still had a mountain of boxes to unpack and places to hide his dirty collections from curious eyes.
In fact he had been unloading another box into a back room he was currently reserving for storage when he received a page. It can't be another check up on anyone, I just cleared my schedule! Tsu moaned inwardly. He deserved some free time away from the lab and chasing bikini clad girls, right? Looking at the number, Tsu knew he couldn't ignore the call though. Direct from Kyou... something must be up for him to be contacting all of a sudden.
Picking up a light jacket, despite the warmth of the sun, Tsu decided he better run over anyway. Heading out the door, it was a quick 5 minute jog to the workplace.
Stepping inside, Tsu decided the first place to look for Kyou was the lab space for Lab 305... his brother would either be there and passed out somewhere - no doubt from not taking proper care of his body. Perhaps one day he should invite his brother to move in with him. If only for the sake of having piece of mind that Kyou was not completely destroying his health and body in one way or another.
Sliding the keycard in, Tsu entered the lab areas, and was very confused to find Kyou wasn't there. Well... maybe Kyou just stepped out...? Tsu pondered as he took a seat to wait for the other.

Somehow Tsu's Raevan followed Kyou into the storage/supposingly-kitchen-area. Maybe he was just curious? Or was it boring in the lab? When they passed the living area just now Kyou caught sight of Lazarus looking out the window, frowning. Seems to be deep in thought. That's weird, in Kyou's impression Laz doesn't seemed to be the type that thinks a lot. Maybe he had reached that stage? Kyou wasn't very sure himself.
Now Laz 'stood' in the doorway, looking instead at the blue Raevan. But he remained silent.
When Kyou re-entered the labs with a full pot of warm coffee, with Tsu's raevan trailing closely behind him, and Laz a little further away, he felt his legs gave way a little. But he was able to support himself with his arm on a table nearby. This is when he noticed someone in the labs. His eyesight were blurry at first, probably due to lack of sleep. But he squinted to refocus his eyes and recognised the familiar face. "Tsu!!"

If the pot banging against the table hadn't caught Tsu's attention, Kyou's voice shouting his name certainly did. "There you are!" Tsu called rushing over to where his brother was still partially propping himself on the table. From the look of the bags under his eyes, the slightly unkepmt hair and the fact he almost fell face first onto the ground, Tsu surmised the diagnosis long before anything else was said by Kyou.
"I take it you've been at it again. How many times do I have to tell you to get the proper amount of sleep and not take these work binges, anyway?" Tsu chided a little worriedly, helping Kyou to a chair. "I came as soon as I got your page. What seems to be the emergency? Lazarus isn't sick is he?" Looking now over at the floating raevan, Tsu seemed to do a double take. "Erm... wait when did Lazarus start wearing blue...?"
No one ever said that Kyou was the only scattered brained one around here after all.

"I don't." Laz proclaimed a little irritably as he too emerged into the lab areas. "That's your Raevan." Laz spoke as he pointed a finger at the blue one that was a little obsessively following Kyou.
"Yeah, actually I paged you because of him." Kyou nodded at the un-named Raevan as he sat down. "You placed the bottle and vial into one of my empty machines a while ago remember?" He was thankful that Tsu cares so much for him, but his bad habits would take a century to change. And he wasn't ready to move out of the labs for now anyway.

"Oh." Tsu started with a hazy look in his eyes, "ohhhhhhhhhhhh!!! You mean Zavier's ready?!?" After first making sure Kyou was stable where he sat, Tsu wandered over to the blue raevan and circled him, looking at him closely up and down a little in awe. Reaching out a hand gingerly, Tsu touched Zave's hand feeling the smooth skin and looking at his Raevan in the face for the first time... smiling that he really had him finally.
"Nice to meet you Zavier," Tsu started, "I'm Tsu. You'll be living with me."
Obviously Zavier was getting used to his surroundings still and felt a little odd about this new man named Tsu moving in so close to him at first. Even though he was only gently touching the hand and looking at the raevan... there was something about this newcomer that he didn't trust.
"Zav... ier..." The raevan said, sounding out his name for the first time. Trying to get used to it. Then moving onto the other two names he knew since he first opened his eyes. "Kyou... Lazrus..." looking at the man sitting down first and then at the floating raevan. Finally he looked at the stranger and repeated, "Tsu." He had already seemed to get used to his voice and was taking less pauses in between sounding words.
Although in the end, something about the one named Lazarus seemed more appealing. Something that looked similar... but at the same time a little different. Thus Zave slowly floated over to where the other was sort of 'standing' and stopped a few inches away. Personal space had not been quite understood yet.

"It's Laz-a-rus, you missed an 'A' in there." Lazarus frowned and said in an irritable tone. But somehow he don't really felt too annoyed with the newborn raevan, there's something about him that reminded him of himself. Lazarus couldn't make out why either. When Zave inched closer though Lazarus backed away a little, he isn't too used or comfortable to being in such close contact with other people/Raevans other than Kyou and Sevilin.
"Your Raevan seems to be an interesting one..." Kyou said as he observed Zavier. "Lazarus doesn't seem to hate him as much as he hate or dislike the other Raevans, I can see that pretty clearly." maybe Laz and Zavier could be friends. Although Kyou might seem to be a bad parent at times, but he had been worried about Lazarus for a while now. Laz seems to be rather unfriendly to the other Raevans, except for Sevvie that is. A Raevan friend would do good for Lazarus. He's finally growing up! Kyou thought as he held back a tear that's forming at the corner of his eyes.

"Lazarus." Zavier repeated softly outloud once... and mentally a couple more times. Lazarus, Lazarus, Lazarus Unused to people pulling away from him, Zave hesitated to get close again. He wanted to know more about this other raevan... but if it meant the other kept backing away, then it was best not to get too close, he decided. Floating there he cocked his head to the side, "Why do you move away?"
Tsu marvelled at how fast Zavier was picking up on things. He was rather curious... and his questions seemed to come to a point when they were finally asked. "Yeah... it's a good thing they are at least willing to sit in same room without something going wrong. After all, it would be hard if I couldn't work in same labs as you if our raevans didn't like each other...." Tsu recalled the incident that happened with Rivener. He had only heard the crashing noises and smelled the smoke. Thus guessed what happened. "Hopefully Lazarus will be willing to play with Zavier once he gets more used to the other Raevan."

"Err.. because I want to?" Lazarus said bluntly. "I don't feel too comfortable with you being so close, when people talk, they keep a distance." Lazarus pointed a finger at Zavier's chest and motions it towards his, to and fro a few times. "This is called distance." One thing Laz is grateful about this new Raevan, is that he's not as aggresive as Rivener, and certainly seems to be smarter.
"True..." Kyou's voice trailed off a little as he felt a headache emerging. The steady throb at the sides of his head makes him feel a little nauseous. He leaned on the table beside the chair and rubbed his hand to the throbbing area.

"Kyou!" Tsu called out alarmed all of a sudden as his brother once again looked like he crumpled up a bit from exertion or something. "Are you okay? Can I get something for you? Why don't we help you go lie down..." The worry creeped into his voice again as he leaned over and touched Kyou's back gently to try and illicit a response out of his brother. Little did he know that Zave had turned and watched the little scene with mild interest.
Turning back to Lazarus, Zave responded, "I think... I understand this distance thing. When Tsu came close to me at first... I didn't know what to do. It felt... odd... like I wasn't comfortable... or being looked at oddly. Is that what you mean about needing distance when talking? But... why do Kyou and Tsu go with no distance? Are they... not same?"

"Whoa!" Lazarus gasped, impressed. "That was the first time I heard a newborn Raevan spoken so much! And something more intelligent nonetheless!!" Laz is starting to like Zavier already, he's surely smarter than the other Raevans he know, or at least got to talk to. Looking over to both the humans, he frowned. I knew Kyou is going to collapse if he keeps up this kind of lifestyle. Laz thought.
"Kyou and Tsu are brothers, they are related. They care for each other, so they can be closer." Laz explained briefly, trying to keep his words simple for the new Raevan. He's starting to feel like an older brother himself, or a teacher of some sort, teaching Zavier new things.
"I... I think I'll be fine, I just needed some water and maybe pop some pills." Kyou said as he shut his eyes tight, trying to shoo the headache away with his failing willpower. Which of course doesn't work. "...I still have a book I need to read..." he tried to stand up as he spoke, only to fall back down again due to wobbly knees.

"The words are hard to form though." Zave admitted sheepishly. "but... I guess I know the feeling more. That's why I can say these things at all." Zave looked at Tsu and Kyou. So those two are brothers. Somehow they didn't look identical. Just like Lazarus and himself. They hold some of the same... but some of the not same. I have so much more to learn... Zave thought, wondering slightly if Lazarus and him would become brothers.
"Brothers. I see. I wonder what it is like to have a brother. Maybe I will find out some day." Zavier pondered aloud, despite wanting to.
"You're in no shape to finish that book right now Kyou. It's time to get you into a place and you need to lie down. Lazarus? Zavier? Can I get some help here please?" Tsu's concern took over and he was not about to let Kyou go on any further with forcing himself. Even if he had to ask Lazarus to stand guard and knock Kyou out each time he tried to move away. "Maybe it'll be better if we let Kyou get some rest on the couch, Zavier. Once he's on the couch, we should head home as well. Please bring that book over there that he seems to want, Zave. After that thank Lazarus and say goodbye to him for today."
After Kyou was put in place on a couch with a blanket over him, and the research book by his side. Tsu patted his brother's head and told him to get some rest after he finished reading a bit more.
Zave turned and faced Laz one last time for the day. "Thank you for talking to me... and telling me about all these new things. I must go home with Tsu, I guess. Goodbye." and with a small wave, Zave floated back over to Tsu and the two left the labs together, taking in the late afternoon air - they made their way back to the apartment.

Kyou laid there staring at the book. Maybe he's right, it's probably about time Kyou rested. His eyes were drooping close when he heard a little voice calling to him. "Read me, the answer you seek is within me... you know you want to read me..." With a fling of his arm, Kyou knocked the book off onto the floor with the back of his hand. Curling up and pulling the blanket a little higher, he closed his eyes and went to dreamland.
While Lazarus snuck into the storage to read some indecent magazines.
