Pale silver hair flooded into this young boy's sunlit face as he stared out the window. Boooriinnnggg Renhei thought, glancing back towards the board for a brief moment. He had thoughts like this so often. Private school studies were not nearly as interesting as the darker forms of magic and science that his Grandfather dabbled in.
A loud crack of wood against wood and metal jolted him forward in his seat. It sounded like something had just broken, and it had. A wooden ruler. "Don't go all dazed in my classroom!" His teacher strictly advised him. "You have a phone call waiting for you in the office." His teacher huffed, shaking their head and pressing two fingers to the temples. Children were easy sources of headaches.
Renhei replayed the events from about an hour ago in his head excitedly as he walked into the waiting area just inside the door of Lab [305]. He was overjoyed, eager, and nervous. He had to rock back and forth excitedly on the tips of his toes. No one was coming out. It always seemed very quiet here.
Finally, he spotted a small voice intercom on the wall and dragged a chair over to it to press it. "Helloooo? I'm Renhei Wanajima. I'm here to pick up my raevan." He called into the box, releasing the button afterward.

The laboratory was quiet due to the fact that Chloe is currently on vacation. Kyou asked Lazarus to handle the reception, but apparently Lazarus doesn't have the patience to stay at one place for long.
The glass doors leading to the lab casually slid open as Kyou walks out a few minutes later. He was not in perfect shape though, there's a very obvious large brown stain in the front of his labcoat; coffee stain. "Damn... this coat is really expensive..." Kyou muttered as he rubbed helplessly at the brown stain in an attempt to rub it away, but of course he's making it worst. He was nodding off earlier in the lab when the intercom sounded out, and in shock he accidentally spilt the cup of coffee onto his labcoat. "I thought I remembered telling Lazarus to come in and wake me when anyone comes in, not using the intercom..." he continued to grumble as he walked into the reception area.
Finally giving up on it, he sighed heavily and lifted his eyes to meet with a pair of green ones; bright green eyes that belonged to a young boy. "Uh, hello there." Kyou spoke in an uncertain tone as he looked at the boy. "...are you uh, lost or something?" he took a quick glance around the room to look for signs of anyone, or even Lazarus, but he see none other than the boy. If it wasn't Lazarus who used the intercom, then was it this boy that did?

Renhei's shoulders dropped visibly. LOST? He thinks I'm lost. "No! No, I'm not lost. I was told to come by and pick up Nu--- tangible dream. Did I get the wrong message?" His excitement faltered for a moment. Renhei immediately doubted that his grandfather was responsible enough to deliver a decent message.
His eyes flickered to the coffee stain. "You should use ice water on that." He said, pulling his mind off of how upset it was getting." He scanned back up to the other's face. He had legs, and a lab coat. So he wasn't a rae-- Oh! The name tag said his name. "Y-You're Dr. Kyou! Y-You are the one who sent the vial to me." Renhei pointed dumbfoundedly. This is Dr. Kyou?! Renhei thought he didn't need to mention the intercom since someone had obviously come out. Maybe this was the way the office was always run, because it was hard to get someone the last time he came by as well.

Now that clicked Kyou back into reality. "Tangible dream? You're from the Wakajima... or was it Wanajima household??" It's typical for Kyou to mistaken or forget names, and he was not particularly good with long Japanese names either. "But the person that answered the phone was elderly, I didn't thought a little boy would come to pick him up..." Kyou muttered almost to himself as he cocked his head sideways, staring at nothing in particular. "Anyways, yeah I'm Dr. Kyou, owner and lead scientist of the lab!! Sorry about mistaking you as a lost child earlier!" Kyou grinned sheepishly.
Taking note of the advice the little silver-haired boy gave, Kyou gave him an acknowledging nod. "Thanks for the advice, I'll try that later! But right now you must come and see your Raevan!" He said excitedly as he turned around, gesturing for Renhei to follow him. With bold footsteps he walked through the sliding glass doors and from his inner lab pockets, he fished out a card and inserted it into a card reading device next to another pair of doors to their left. The lab doors slid open and revealed a confortable living room inside, with a window that has a nice view of the bustling people outside, a comfortable white couch and a television set right opposite it.
But none of this attracted Kyou's attention at the moment, his gaze was fixed on a single door to the far right side of the room. "Come with me", Kyou said once more as he walked forwards. "Oh by the way, I haven't caught your name yet."

The small boy blushed a bit at Dr. Kyou's grin. He opened his mouth to say something, but excitement soon filled his own face. He was so nervous suddenly. It must have been like a older person's first date or seeing a present on Christmas.
"Renhei. Renhei Wa-na-ji-ma."He explained, wondering briefly if Kyou had made a mistake in addressing the essence to him in the first place. Well, it didn't matter! I cared for it... It's mine. He mumbled in his own head, stepping after Dr. Kyou and into the other room.
A hovering mass slid across the room on the opposite side of the right lab door. A swirl of sky blue sleeves floated and hovered behind him as if they were slight bits of cloud or gas. He floated 'sitting' on the other side of the door, absolutely enthralled in the midst of watching a movie on the television. Something one of the few networks got, a horror. A Nightmare on Elm Street. His knowledge, and even his advanced forms of speech came from the various dreams that his guardian and others around his vial had. Even pets. He knew what they dreamed of -- mostly food. Speaking of, the frei was rather hungry, but it seemed like nobody was sleepy.
Noise. A brown ear twitched, the chimera-like creature moved towards the door closer, pressing an ear to the surface. Still faint noise. Mismatched eyes narrowed in intense concentration. He knew that voice. The Doctor. He had rather strange dreams.

"Renhei... right." He remembered that name, he DID sent a soul bottle and the tangible dream fel essence to a person with that name, although it was quite a while ago. But strangely from his memory, he vaguely recalled that Renhei was 20 years old! Not 12! Kyou thought as he scratched his chin, it was always one of his bad habits when he found something peculiar about situations. But he couldn't remember why he had the impression that Renhei was older to save his life. Curse his goldfish memory! But it doesn't matter, being able to catch such a unique soul and had taken care of the bottle and the fel essence so well, this little boy proved to be someone that's quite capable.
Arriving in front of the door, Kyou grabbed a hold of the knob. Before he turned it though, he looked at Renhei with a twinkle in his eyes, an excited grin spreaded across his lips. "Are you ready to see your Raevan?" he spoke excitedly. "He's quite a sight to behold!" And indeed it was, the image of the Raevan gracefully floating around played in Kyou's mind.

He. He said he. So his raevan's gender was male. Excitement began to well up and he nodded his head several times, his ponytail bobbing behind him. "Yes!"
That was exactly the point where the knob turned within Dr. Kyou's hand and the door swung open right into his nose. A blood curdling scream echoed out of the lab where the movie was still playing. Two sky blue eyes immediately dropped down to the boy, disregarding the smooshed doctor behind the door.
But instead of something quite so scary, there was a floating figure there. What first struck Renhei's eyes was a lot of violet, teal, and blue - nothing dull - but something quite like what he always saw in the essence. His eyes scanned up the figure, floating rather high so that he stood around the height of a normal person. Kimonos.. that Renhei recognized. Before Gaia, his family came from someplace that wore things like those all the time. The sleeves, though, for a brief moment, caught Renhei's attention. They looked like they faded like heat did on a road where it was a rippled illusion instead of fabric.
Renhei's eyes scanned higher and brightened even more. He walked straight up to the frei, reverting back to his childlike personality and started to look over him. "Doctor Kyou, is it alright that his wing looks like this? AH! He has two different color eyes!" Renhei was too short to peer into them directly. His eyes scanned a bit higher. "Nue has ears!" He pointed a bit up, leaning back to look up where Nue towered before him. Renhei giggled excitedly, almost unable to contain himself to one spot. He had to inspect that Nue was actually there.
One ear flopped to the side in contemplation, a feeling that Nue was still trying to sort out and understand. For some reason, he had a lot of memories that he really shouldn't have. He had never experienced, or at least -- they weren't his dreams or memories. He pointed back to the short boy before him. "Renhei." He knew that name. He could recall it clearly among a dozen dreams. A tiny bell jingled at the tie of Nue's waist as he realized that he couldn't quite see the boy clearly at this height and he lowered about a foot so that he was only a little bit taller. "Nue has...?" He reached up to his own ears as Renhei poked them and blinked in realization. "My name is Nue?"

Kyou did realised the doorknob was turning on it's own, chain of thought lead to the idea that someone was opening it from the other side. But Kyou was a little too late when he realised that the door was going to slam into his face. It came too abruptly, so sudden, that Kyou didn't had a chance to shield himself.
Crack.
As he stood there smooshed behind the doors, face flat, he felt something cracked. Or at least he thought he heard something cracked. Letting out a groan as the pain sank in, he slowly pushed the door away from his face. The sting on his nose came all too sudden, it must be quite numb for a moment just now from the impact. "Guh..." he moaned as his hand came up to his nose, he pulled his hand away and realised that his nose was bleeding. The impact broke his nose!
Outraged, he raised his eyes to see Nue behind the door. "Y... you...!!" Kyou mumbled as his hand came over his nose again, even simply talking hurt his nose so much. "Ugh..." he groaned again as he squeezed his eyes shut. The pain was too overwhelming that he couldn't concentrate on what was happening before him. Staggering to the side, his legs hit a table side. Using one hand he steadied himself, the other covering his face as the blood continued to drip from his nose. He needed to do something, but what??

As the doctor presented himself, Nue peered from the boy to the bleeding figure. His ears tilted quixotically as he began to speak. "Why were you standing behind the door?" He asked bluntly, less care in his voice than there should be. Nue had been privy to some rather interesting dreams of Dr. Kyou's and respect for him was gone about five seconds after the raevan's birth. In short, that man is weird summed up his thoughts on the doctor.
Renhei cringed at the bloody nose. He understood that it had hurt quite a bit, but he'd never experienced it and he didn't know how to fix it. He was just a kid! "I'll... uh.. I'll get a doctor.. wait.. you're a doctor, aren't you?" Renhei flailed about in panic.
Just then, a firm hand squished down his head, patting him in a foreign motherly gesture and his Raevan glided passed. Nue stopped in front of Kyou and peered, something akin to curiosity crossing his face as he poked a finger forward and swiped up a bit of the blood. "I don't know this, yet. What is this?"

It was hard for Kyou to speak, even little movements of his face muscles are enough to cause pain to his broken nose. He peered over his hand at Renhei and Nue, how was he going to ask them for help if he can't even speak properly? Focusing was a little hard as the pain hit him pang by pang, he hated getting hurt, he hated physical pain, even little cuts that made him bled will upset him very much. Now the only thing that he wanted to focus on was stop the bleeding.
Kyou winced as the Frei swiped some of his blood, but he couldn't answer to his questions due to the pain. So instead he just shook his head weakly, pointing at the blood on Nue's fingers, trying to tell him that it isn't something good.
His mind raced as he tried to figure out how to stop the bleeding. Think logically Kyou, although you didn't excel with human body biology, but you were decent at it. Now how to stop the bleeding? Maybe reducing the blood pressure may help?? Struggling a little, Kyou sat up straight on the table he was leaning on. What next? Maybe applying some pressure from inside the cavity. He did this several times before when he was having flu and his nose was dripping, he would stuck some tissue up his nose to try to stop it from flowing, and at the same time absorbing the liquid up. Yes he needed some tissue. He glanced a little to his right and saw one box sitting nicely on a low shelf. With one hand still pressing onto his nose, he pointed towards the tissue box, urging Renhei to get it for him quietly.

Renhei finally realized what had happened and what Kyou needed after a few moments. He reached over and plucked up the box of tissues and handed it to the wounded doctor. "Eh.. here you go." Ren bit his lip a little, worried even though he hadn't been the one to do it. He had seen tissues work before, and Dr. Kyou wasn't demanding to go see, well, another doctor.
As if he already had some foresight, or just thought that these words would work as they did on television, Nue spoke up again. "He'll be okay." He turned back towards Renhei, one of the feathers on his darker wing glooping down and falling off as he trailed back over to the silvery haired boy. He seemed to silently urge him to go.
Nue pulled up the finger smeared with a tiny bit of blood. "What's this?"
Renhei looked at it and frowned. "It's blood. It means someone got hurt." He took Nue's hand and started to wipe it off. "I don't like blood."
Nue tilted his head a bit. He decided then, he wasn't going to like blood either, and he floated close behind taller than Renhei on his way to the outer lab door. "Feel better, doctor."
Renhei looked back as the door was closing. "Ah! Bye Doctor Kyou! I hope your nose i--" And the door shut. Nue was in some kind of hurry to leave, obviously.

Kyou stared in silent plead as the both of them exited the lab. Making up his mind that he doesn't really like Nue right now, he proceeded to use the tissue for his nose. If his memory serves him right, Nue is probably the third Raevan that gave him problems right after they were born. The first was of course Lazarus, then the next was when Roux frozen the lab, and now this.
Wincing as he hurt his nose a little more, he decided to have it treated by another doctor. Hopefully Tsu was still in his office right now...
