Onsei watches as the girl figures out rather quickly that he indeed take her voice. She obviously isn't very happy about that, but who ever said he actually cared? He doesn't, by the way. However as she crouches and covers up what dignity she has left, which he doesn't think there's much, and yells at him, he waves her anger off. "I'm a demon who controls SOUND," he states simply and then points to his ears, "I can hear a lot farther than even most demons, Princess. You do the math". Basically, hearing a kilometer away from him is like hearing someone when they're talking right into your ear. And on top of that, turning off this skill is something that both takes concentration and is something he never feels like doing. Still, he smirks and makes his way closer, ignoring the fact that his lower half remains drenched for the time being; he'll have to dry himself off at a later date or just deal with it. Whichever comes first. "And you, little element witch, have a lovely voice," this is probably the first he's ever honestly complimented her. "If I were stupid and weak, you could tame me with that voice of yours". Unfortunately for her, he is neither. "As it were, the best you can do is seduce me with a voice like that," he grins and steps forward, not even caring if she wants him to leave because she's naked, "Sing it again. Honestly he yearns to hear her sing again. It's always so hard to find someone with a voice like her own. That, and her song is very new to him. Such new and lovely music is hypnotic to a sound demon such as he.
Aislin in the mean time focuses on stumbling this way and that to stay out of the children's grasp. She absolutely refuses to draw her dagger or even lash out with her hands and feet to keep the children at bay. Them being just piled up and left to rot was bad enough, but this is utterly terrifying. "Please! Don't touch me!" She wails. Her tail is tucked closely to her legs and her ears are practically hidden in her hair as she dances around frantically. She would try to smell a source of air flow with her nose, but not only is she too scared to try, but also the smell of decaying bodies doesn't allow her to. In dancing around, she's pushed away from Malek, and stumbles her way into a wall. Whether it's fortunate or unfortunate, the wall cracks and breaks away from her weight. She yelps and stumbles back. Where as she thought that she had found a way out, in fact she had triggered an old trap of the labyrinth's. The floor begins to crumble and crack, until finally it gives way, causing not only Aislin, but the mobile corpses and Malek to fall into the depths below. The fall isn't too long, however it's by sheer luck that Aislin is not impaled on a stalagmite as she crashes into water instead. With a panicked gasp, she ends up with water in her lungs, but manages to surface before it can do too much damage. She's left sputtering and with her instincts kicking. Knowing no other way to swim, she doggy paddles her way to one of the stalagmites and holds on to it so that she may hack her lungs out. She looks around, eyes refusing to look up even as old blood drips down the pikes and into the water. The corpses still move, she can hear them, another reason why not to look up. "Malek?!" She calls, heart beating heavily. Please tell her he's okay!!
The white clad man laughs as he takes Aelita's bait, but chooses to come closer to her than to Sora, realizing with skilled eyes that she is the weaker of the two. "My beasts will kill you all in no time," he taunts as he dances around any and all arrows headed his way, using a wolf snake as a shield here and there if need be, "In both this world, and the real one, that is! That's right! I've set it up that anyone killed within this labyrinth is killed in real life! You're welcome!"
Sora's eyes widen and then narrow, "Some of your victims are said to have been children from my own world," that is, reality, "How dare you?!" It's hard to kill all these beast with just one hand, but he refuses to stop or even slow down. If anything, his movements speed up with his rage. The boy in his hold shivers as he feels Sora's body tremble with this new found anger. However, something unexpected happens.
The maniac laughs as he draws ever closer to Aelita, one of her used arrows in hand. He plans on using it to kill her. However, he stops suddenly as his shoulder is bitten down upon. Above him is a massive creature, that of a giraffe's size at the least. It is another wolf snake, but seems to be the leader or mother of whatever next the maniac thought he had control over. His shoulder is torn from his body, leaving with nothing but a bloody strip of his arm left attached to his body. The rest as been consumed. With the maniac's scream and this new beast's roar, the rest of the wolf snakes flee, back into the holes in the walls as though afraid to defy their largest of kin. The maniac falls to his knees, and looks up, "What?! I don't understand, I killed you!! I killed you!" He repeats even as the massive wolf jaws of the beast snap down onto his head, instantly killing him instead.
The beast roars again, and lashes out at nothing in particular as though on a battle high. However, it's large enough to trigger the trap that's just like the one in Aislin's and Malek's room. The floor gives way, causing Sora, the boy and the beast to fall with a gasp or a scream or a surprised roar. Unlike Aislin and Malek though, the fall for them is long, and it takes some time before Sora hits the water like a cannon ball. Not after going and getting his leg cut by one of the stone pikes first, however. His pained scream echoes before he hits the water with a grunt. Sora looks around from under the water, only just managing to push away the new found pain in his leg to the side as he pulls himself and the kid to the surface. "Are you okay kid?"
"Your leg!" The boy cries as he had noticed, despite his fear, that the man had gotten hurt.
Sora smiles, "I'm okay," he lies. Thank god this isn't the real world or he would be worried about bleeding out. The pain is still there, however. "Are you okay?" The boy nods, "Good! I'm glad," he beams before looking around. A little ways away from them, he can just barely make out what seems to be a strip of land. Slowly but surely he makes his way to that strip and makes sure the boy gets on there first before hefting himself up. "Aelita?! Where are you?!" He calls, should she have not revealed herself to him already.

Hana can only send a venomous glare to her stalker as he explained his acute hearing. She thought to herself, he still didn't have to track her down like the pervert he was. She retreats into deeper water, bending down so the water laps over her vulnerable body. The glare on her face doesn't let up. "You could've asked when I got back to camp." She says this to his request to sing again. Though now her expression is compromised with a bright red blush scattered along her cheeks. It's not common for her to receive compliments, least of all from this brute. Golden eyes slide down to the water at the reflection of the moon. Minutes pass and it seems that she wouldn't peep another word. Finally, a soft hum escapes her mouth, and with a rather timid voice, she starts her song once again. It's scary knowing someone is listening to her sing, honestly.
Malek kept track of Ainslin at all times. He fought with out harming the children to get close to Ainslin again. It's truly disturbing that these, basically they're zombies, just had to take form of children. Even knowing they've already died, big bad Malek muses morbidly how someone could lose their sense of humanity if they weren't careful. His keen senses noticed the crumbling of the ground under their feet almost immediately. "Ainslin, brace yourself!" Is all he could cry before they're dropped below. He had to twist to avoid being skewered himself. Once in the water, he looks immediately for his partner and swims to her. "Are You slight?" He asks before looking for some way out, be it a climb back up or a crevice where they can get into another room.
Aelita narrowed her warm brown eyes at the maniac as he closes in on her. She leaps away, keeping herself with always having at least 2 escape routes available. She continues to bait him, though. With his attention on her, it could help give Sora an opening to attack if he can get the wolf spider things off... Or were these wolf snakes. I don't remember lol. Either way, she jumps back when she sees an even bigger beast bust into the room much to the lunatic's and Aelita's surprise. She leaps out of the way lest she get trampled over and lets the thing fight their opponent for them. Might as well. Though, she didn't expect the floor to cave in on her. She squeaks in surprise as they plummet down into the dark level below. She hit the water hard, but she was unharmed. Well, that is until one of the stray rocky debris struck her over her head. She comes up and grasps the strip of land unknowingly as her head spins around. Blood trickled down from her scalp. Only once her vision came into focus again did she notice Sora calling for her a little ways down from the same strip of land she was holding herself up on. "S-Sora!" She cries back.

Onsei laughs as the girl states what she does, "What's the point of doing that? You would have denied singing in the first place, or said that I couldn't hear that far as it were". He'll admit that she's cute with that little blush on her face. But cute is all he'll give her. He's pleased to hear that she's complying to his demand, however. At the same time, he's displeased. Why? Because she's timid. While her voice is still literally music to his ears, he's not nearly as impressed as he was the first time through. And when I say impressed, I mean impressed and turned on. "Heh," he states as she finishes up, "Looks like a Princess like you is only at her best when she thinks she's alone. I'll have to keep my ears open from now on". He wades his way to the shore, and once there wrings out his clothing. Deciding that that's not enough, he eyes the elemental woman for a mere second before disregarding whether she'll approve of his next actions or not. If she doesn't like it, she can leave. He strips, hanging his clothing on near by tree branches so that everything may end up dry. By the time he's done, he's naked. And upon seeing Hana's reaction, he rolls his eyes, "What are you, a virgin? You got my clothes all wet, so they've gotta dry and I'm not gonna sit in the dirt while wearing them and waiting for them to do that. Besides, I need a bath," not that he did much to get dirty, but no matter. He sits in water deep enough to cover what's important and lets out a long sigh. For about ten minutes, all he does is sit there and lean back on his hands. However, at minute number eleven, his fingers poise themselves on the water before tapping it, a piano note coming out with each different finger tap. That is until he actually lets his fingers dance and play the song I mentioned. Feeling like challenging himself a bit, only an undertone that he can hear is released. Two undertones, actually. One that causes a portion of the stream to still- or river, whatever it is- and the other that creates a picture by influencing the water particles themselves. The picture is that of surprisingly detailed fairies dancing to his little song. While he cannot make these fairies actually dance on the water, he can make it just detailed enough to make it seem like they are. He doesn't care if Hana watches him play, as where as most of the time he's a complete asshole, her singing has put him in the mood to use his ability for something other than killing. Moods like these are rare.
In the mean time, Aislin looks around until finally Malek comes to her. She sighs a sigh of relief. "Thank god you're okay," she smiles to her friend. She really was worried that somehow he had gotten hurt. Even if he could give Onsei a run for his money, she had worried. She looks around before pointing, "There's some land over there, let's go and collect ourselves," well, mainly she needs to collect herself. As such, once they've made it and once she's gotten rid of what water she could, she offers the oni a small smile. "Thank you for protecting me back there. I know it's kind of pathetic to say but I just couldn't bring myself to fight," an honest truth. She's also grateful that he had not harmed the zombie children- which by the way are still trying to get to them despite the fact that most of them are impaled and the others are at the bottom of the body of water- as Onsei would have gladly turned them into mincemeat. Once ready to go, she stands and points again, "I smell a draft in this direction," she tells her partner, "Maybe that's our way out".
Sora can only sigh in relief when he hears Aelita call out to him in return. He stands, ignoring the twinge of pain that runs through his leg upon putting pressure on it. The possibility of bleeding out may not be there, but the pain definitely is. As such, he sheathes his blade and puts the boy down so that he may limp his way forward easier.
"Mister, she's over here!" The boy calls, having spotted Aelita first and limped his way to her.
Sora limps faster himself, and notes that in the dim lighting of the place they're in- the lighting being given thanks to the mass amount of glow worms- that her head is bleeding. "Are you okay?" He questions, leaning down to help her out of the water and onto her own two feet. "You're not badly hurt, are you?" Hopefully no more than the head injury. Once she's on her own two feet and stable, he looks around, "It's lucky that that guy died and that we're out of that place, but where the hell are we?" Like Aislin, when he inspects his map, he doesn't even see the little blips that would normally depict their position.
The little boy shakes his head, "I don't know mister, but my arm really hurts. And I'm hungry and tired and I want to see my parents again. You're gonna get me out of here, right?"
Sora silently thanks god that the child is not some pathetic brat and that he actually has manners, "Yea," he assures the boy that seems to be maybe nine years old, "We'll get out of here. Don't you worry".

Hana grumbles choice names under her breathe as she continues to look at the moon's reflection in the shallow river. Jack ass. Jumping people while they're naked in the night is of course gonna make me wanna sing to you, she thinks this sarcastically in her mind. Once she's singing, she trails off when Onsei has to insult her. She puffs her cheeks and looks away, no longer singing since he decided to insult her again. Curiosity makes her eyes roam back towards him when she noticed movement on his part, though she'd wish she hadn't. "Ah! What the hell, Onsei?" She screams as she spazzes and turns her back to him. "I'm not a virgin!" She lied. "I-I I just don't care for you stripping and getting in the water where I was CLEARLY trying to take a bath ALONE." She sinks lower and huffs, making the water bubble since her mouth was under water. She remains tense and frozen until she heard the trill sound of piano key being struck. Reluctant golden eyes look around back at the naked old pervert behind her. A piano made from the water? She observes the familiar melody. It's actually one she likes well. Though she won't admit to that or that he plays the piano well. Though, being Hana, she can't help but follow along with the chorus. "We are maverick kyuusai..." She mutters in tune to him. Though she gets a little louder and more confident by the end as the singing helps the little demoness relax.
Malek nodded. "i couldn't let you get killed. Not everyone needs to be barbaric brutes all the time. There would be far too much stupidity." He smiles to her as he too works to ring out his own clothing with out stripping himself unlike a certain pervert violating Hana's space lol. "I can't say I'd like anyone who in good conscious attacked them, even if they were our enemies." He says this about the children, staring at what he can see of them with a great deal of pity. He could only imagine what the humans found. Hopefully it wasn't so morbid as what they found. "Let's get out of here, then. There's obviously nothing here for us except inspiration for nightmares." He heads in the direction Ainslin pointed out, cautious of his footing since the light was dim enough to make any possible ledges or traps obscured.
Aelita nodded to Malek. "It's only my head. I was dizzy, but I should be fine," she assures. Her eyes trail down to his own leg. "We should at least bandage you up," she mutters. She has nothing but her bow and the clothes on her back. She was almost tempted to use her own shirt. Almost. She stands up and staggers a foot away so she can gain her own balance once more. Her eyes glance to the child. "We should get out of here in case that giant monster decides to come after us as well. It's safe to say that man is dead, so the mission is done." Her eyes roam the dim cave for some sort of way to get out, and goes which ever way they all find. "I wonder how those two demons are doing," she wonders aloud. Did they die from those monsters? That would be nice. Especially if it's that fortune teller. She's kind of annoying. Of course, she doesn't say these opinions aloud

Onsei laughs as the girl responds to his question about her virginity the way she does. That kind of reaction only solidifies the thought that she Is one. Wouldn't surprise him, seeing as she has absolutely no sexual attractiveness about her. and he voices these thoughts. "Really? Could have fooled me with how you reacted. Most Women would love to take a bath with a man as hot as me. Or perhaps it's just that you prefer little boys rather than men". Still, he plays the song as mentioned, and only momentarily notes that she actually seems to know the song. When he lifts his fingers from the water, the 2D fairies stop dancing and even disappear while the water goes back to normal. For a moment, he looks off in the direction the others wandered off in. As he stares in that direction as though spacing out, he suddenly smirks. Oh, he really should have gone with the others it seems. What a shame. He shrugs and leans back onto his elbows before eying the naked element woman. "How do you know that song?"
Aislin nods with a smile on her lips as Malek answers the way he does. Se really does like him much better than Onsei that's for sure. Still, she is silent as they walk. It's not too hard for her to walk around this dimly lit place. Then again, that's all thanks to herthex demon blood that runs through her veins. There doesn't really seem to be an end to this thin pathway, though it twists and turns which makes her think that there must be a way out. It really would be a shame if they starved within this labyrinth. Suddenly her eyes widen and her small frame stops in its tracks. She stands stock still as a familiar feeling washes over her. The dim scenery she had been walking through with Malek turns into something completely different. An extravagant room with a smooth wooden floor, polished to look like a mirror. Men and women dressed smartly chatting or dancing, enjoying their evening with one another. Her eyes skim the room, looking for her counterparts. She doesn't see them, but she can only assume that they're there too. Instead she spots a young boy with neatly kept brown hair holding the hand of a beautiful woman with elegant done up purple hair and lovely green eyes that match the boy's own. On the boy's other side is an average sized man with wild brown hair and the lightest blue eyes Aislin has ever seen. She can only assume that these two adults are the boy's parents. The man spots her looking her way and smiling, mouthing his thanks to her. She was going to smile back, however suddenly the man's face turns into a look of terror. The room turns into that of a place that reminds her of a church, stained glass, an alter and long benches included. At the base of the alter, is a large pile of bodies. She sees multiple men and women that had been dancing and having fun seconds ago, dead. Standing on the alter is the little boy, a crazed smile on his face. "This is for you, Lord Bhunevelze! I give to you this virtual world! Take it with you when you recreate reality!" He stabs himself in the gut with a dramatically decorated blade and slumps, falling off the alter, down the mound and stopping there. The walls and floors light up with formerly invisible writing of some sort. The light gets so bright that her sight is taken and the vision ends. She comes back to the dimly lit area with a gasp and falls to her knees. What? What was that all about? Why? Bhunevelze again? Should Malek ask her, she tells him of her vision but admits that she doesn't know what it means.
Over with the group of humans, Sora nods once, relieved that his archer friend is.okay despite the wound to her head. He eyes the wound on his leg and shrugs, "I'll be okay I think. You okay kid?" The boy nods once as he and the adult male hobble alalong, "I would like to get home though. I miss my parents". He's very calm for a boy that's gone through what he has. Dora nods before pondering himself about the other pair within the labyrinth, "I'm not worried at all about Malek," he admits, "He could handle anything that comes his way in this place, I think......Aislin though I do worry about". As they walk it takes about another half hour before the path widens into a large stone room. It looks almost like a church, what with the long benches, the altar at the front and even the stained glass window that leads to absolutely nothing. ".....A dead end?"

Hana's cheeks puff out as she pouts. How dare he question her! "No, I'm just not some slut you can fool around with, and even if I were, like I'd enjoy bathing with a perverted old alien line you." She sticks her tongue out at him. Once he starts singing, though, she continues as I mentioned before. And after he trails off, She sinks deeper so only her nose and eyes appear above the shallow river, glaring at the intruder with a venomous stare. He seems to be aware of something she can't see, but she doesn't want to ask him. She rises her head out of the water to speak when he asks her, "It's a song they played in my own home a bit. That's all. I should ask you how you know it yourself. Were you stalking my home before all this?" She sinks back down so the water covers her mouth once more, glaring all the same at the stupid old demon.
Malek is content to walk in silence beside his new friends as they slowly pick their way through the dim tunnel to hopefully find an exit. Surely these dungeons were designed with a possible out at the end, right? He sure hoped so. Still, he walks on casually, though he never really drops his guard. It'll be their luck more of those zombie kids pop out of the ground or something. What he doesn't expect is that Ainslin will be struck with what looks like another vision. He sticks close to her in case she's about to lose her balance. Indeed he catches her so she doesn't drop too harshly to her knees. Compared to Hana, she seemed rather fragile, so he worried about her breaking like a human would. Seriously, Hana woulda been allowed to drop off a cliff. She wouldn't be hurt too badly. No doubt Ainslin is tough, but she's nice and he kinda wants to be sure she doesn't get hurt a all. "What did you see?" He asks her cautiously once she seemed to focus again. "That's a strange vision. Once we get together with everyone, maybe they'll have an idea of who those people could've been." He smiles. "Do you think you can continue?" He stands up, ready to march forward and hopefully track down the humans if they didn't get themselves killed.
Aelita shoots Malek a small smile when he mentioned he was happy to see her ok. Though his own leg concerns her a bit. She looks to the kid and nods to him. "We'll get you home, I promise." She puts a hand on his shoulder for comfort before they march forward again. Once they enter the church, she keeps an arrow at the ready. Last time they arrived at a spot with this much space, they were attacked by that man and those monsters. She scans the room cautiously before looking to Sora. "I'm not finding an exit. Surely a place like this has a means of getting out, right? The exit is probably just hidden."

"Hey now, I'm friends with every slut I've fucked, okay?" Onsei mockingly defends himself. An old alien? Really? That's the best she's got? Please. "They're all amazing people. I'm sure there's many of them that wouldn't mind teaching you not to be a prude," he then taunts with a mocking grin. Still, he raises a brow as she demands to know whether or not he's ever been in her home town. He tilts his head, "I dunno where you're from so I can't answer that question. I learned it in a little town where an old lady taught me it.....Maybe if you jog my memory I can tell you if I remember a little bitchy element girl being in town while I was there". However, he finds his eyes drifting off to the side again, hearing something she cannot. A grin spreads across his face, highly amused though he doesn't tell Hana what he's hearing. Instead, he can only chuckle to himself. Who would have thought that things would get so interesting so quickly? Must be a result of them all finally getting together.
In the mean time, Aislin looks to Malek when she finds him supporting her and nods her thanks seeing as she has a dry throat. Then she tells him about the vision and agrees. "It was really weird. It was also very....Foreboding," a slow shiver runs down her spine. "I can continue," she states honestly and begins to walk again. The path continues to weave this way and that, going so far as to zig and zag sharply at times. It seems like they've been walking forever when a stroke of 'luck' hits her. Her foot sinks into a section of the pathway, the sound of stone grinding against stone and then a dull 'click' resounds around them in the silence. "That couldn't have been- AHHHHH!" She screams out her surprise, scrabbling at the air and reaching for Malek too late for either of them to connect hands as she falls and hits what feels like an earthen slide. Her jaw snaps shut as she rapidly slides down for a good five minutes, harshly hitting into various sides that she doesn't see coming along. Next thing she knows, something ahead of her opens bringing her into another room. With a yelp, she crashes into a solid body that grunts as together they crash to the ground. She groans for a moment, where she had run into the walls sore from the impact but even so she stands and brushes herself off. "What the hell?" She growls to herself. "First zombie children trying to kill me, then a vision like that and now THIS? My luck sucks right now". She whirls around upon hearing a familiar voice behind her and suddenly smiles, leaping at the man that she had apparently fallen on to. "Ah! Sora you're okay!" Well, kind of. Then, she looks around and a shiver runs through her again, "....We need to get out of here. Badly". When asked why, she shortly gives to them the info about her vision and nods to Sora's comment. And then the search begins. She doesn't find anything within the first five minutes, but hopefully someone else will.
Sora sends the young woman a bright childish smile in return towards her much smaller one and then agrees with her. "There's no way we're gonna stay in here forever," he vows. And thus the walk begins. He purses his lips at Aelita's mention of a hidden exit. "A hidden escape? Why is this place here anyways?"
"Mister," the boy tugs on Sora's arm, brows furrowed and a look of worry in his lovely green eyes, "I want out of here. This place is creepy".
"I know kid," Sora agrees, patting the boy's hair gently before hobbling his way forward in an attempt to find an escape route, "Let's start looking," he suggests after tumbling the alter in hopes of finding something secret and wonderful under it. His brows furrow, though suddenly he hears the sound of stone grinding against stone. He looks up only to barely miss feet slamming into his face; instead they hit his gut as he realizes who it is and attempts to catch her. His body collapses mostly due to his injured leg, and she ends up straddling his chest with him on his back. It'd be a rather nice view if this were a bedroom; unfortunately it's not. "You okay?" He never gets his answer questioned as he slowly stands to his feet once the girl is off his person. Instead, he wraps his arms around the half fox demon as she leaps at him in glee, "Yea, I see you're okay too. I'm glad," a light blush dusts his cheeks as her breasts press flush against his chest. He doesn't get it, "Why is it so bad that we get out of here?" Though the run down of what vision she's had sets him on edge. They're in a place with an alter and what not....Could this be the place? "....Let's get looking then," and sets back to what he had been doing before he was landed upon.

"But you admit they're sluts," Hana insists. "And you probably gave them all every kind of STD known to demon-kind." She blushes as he says they could teach her to not be a prude. "I'm no prude! I'm just not gonna let some asshole like you do what you want. I'm not a whore like any of them." She mutters into the water, "I really pity that Ainslin." She looks to the bank of the stream, longing to get out with out this pervert to stare at and grope her again. "Nah. It's not really worth knowing," she tells him, assuming that he was trying to feed her some weird pick up line, however true or not that may be. The gold in her eyes seem to glow in the dim light as they narrow at the old demon. Is something happening? She hopes he'll speak about it, but assuming he remains silent, she finally pipes up. "Onsei," she whispers. His name sounds weird in her mouth. Gross is actually a better word for this innocent little demoness's opinion of him. "What are you hearing?"
Malek walks along side Ainslin in silence after her newest episode of sorts. Any hope of an exit seems to grow dimmer by the minute. Every minute felt like an hour. It's only when Ainslin steps on something that Malek finally speaks up. "What the- AINSLIN!" Dark red eyes widen as he sees her fall down a surprise hole. He reaches out to try and grab her, but it's no good. Fuck! He doesn't want this girl to get hurt. Hana would use the curse on his arm at its maximum, and he fears even Onsei having his future little bride killed like this. He looks desperately around, but both the way he came and the way he was goin was as dark and never ending as it's been. "Ah the hell with it!" He leaps after her, and grunts as his butt hits the hard slide below. Ima say both Ainslin and Sora are out of the way unless you just want them both crushed by him. She's a small fry, but yoi might as well drop a mountain on their heads in comparison to her. He gets up after the long slide and rubs his poor ass that hit the hard floor. "God damn, that hurt," he mutters. He looks to the others, relieved to find his little charge unharmed for the most part. He greets him with, "this dungeon is too damn long." He looks to the church around them and sighs. Of course. That vision had to be now. He settles for helping them looking for an exit. He looks at any of the books, be they hymns or bibles or anything else.
Aelita smiles a little brighter to the boy as she silently afirms Sora's promise. They will get out. No way in hell is she staying here forever. Even if it means she has to claw a way back out the way they came, she WILL NOT stay here. Still, she keeps walking, and she keeps a sharp eye on Sora as he walks since she's aware of the injury to his leg. Any sign of limping or pain leads to her asking once again if he's really ok, even offering to support him if it's bad enough. Still, once at the church, she helps to investigate the church. She scans the walls that run parrallel to the pews, looking for any crevice and behind any banisters strung up to find a possible way out. This area most of all gives her the creeps, so she wants out as fast as possible. She whirls around at the sound that grows louder and louder until Sora is flattened by a familiar little fox demon. She laughs at what happens once Sora and Ainslin both appear fine. "If only ou could do that to that brute that supposedly pitched camp instead of indulging in this job with them. The jack ass. She looks to the asshole that agreed to tag along as he appears a few minutes behind Ainslin. At mention of the vision, she asks the vixen, "Is there anything you saw in your vision that could have acted as an exit that isn't here now?"

"That doesn't mean they're bad people. They've gotta make a living too ya know. I just helped them out". He grins, "And I got a reward for doing so". Onsei tilts his head, "STD? Hell no, I'm clean. If I had every STD known to demon kind, then wouldn't I be dead. Even demons of my caliber can contract AIDS you know". Still, bored with soaking and finding himself to be clean enough after scooching deeper into the water and dunking himself under the water, scrubbing and then dunking once more, he stands. He wades his way to the shore and crouches to check his clothing, not caring whether or not she freaks out or not. Which she probably does. Never the less, he doesn't talk unless she asks, which she ends up doing just that. That is, by the time he's got his pants on. His eyes shift in the direction their compatriots went off in and then back to his clothing which he continues to slip on until fully dressed. "The others are having lots of fun in that labyrinth. Seems they're stuck in some weird place under the labyrinth and little miss vixen had a vision". He didn't know that just by her spreading what she's seen, but also through her heart rate. When a vision hits her, he can hear her heart slow upon entering the vision, and then sky rocket upon exiting. "Sora and that archer girl got themselves hurt a bit, but they'll apparently be fine. They even found the kid......Oh, and right now little miss Aislin is scared shitless".
Aislin started out going down the slide looking up where Malek's face used to be until he was out of sight. She tumbles down the slide as mentioned and all that good jazz. And by the time Malek makes it, they're already searching for an exit again. She beams however at the sight of the oni. Despite his ass being sore, she's glad he's okay. "Good to see you again," she greets happily despite the fact that she'd very much like to curl into a ball and hope the vision doesn't come true. There's no dead bodies, and there's no one standing on the altar, so this can't be what she's seen most recently. They search and search and search. She can just imagine Onsei hearing them doing all this. There's no way in hell he can't hear all that's gone on by now- they're not out of his hearing range as far as she knows. And with this in mind, she realizes that he'll be wanting to know what her vision was as well. Her heart hammers as she can't help but imagine her crush fretting over her in a way that Onsei would never actually do. That is, holding her close and just sitting there without mocking her. No, in reality he'd mock the shit out of her. She scoffs. Of all the people she could have had a crush on, she chose Onsei. Why couldn't it be Malek or Sora? Hell, she'd rather another GIRL over Onsei. And yet, she can't help but crush on him- even though she doesn't know why she does. As part of the ceiling begins to rumble and fall, she backs up against a wall, ears flat on her head and tail tucked. She doesn't want any part of her getting hit. Still, an exit is finally given to them. She beams and is the first up the rather long stair case, "Freedom!" She proclaims, moving faster than she has all day.
Sora in the mean time, along with Aislin, is indeed out of Malek's way for when he arrives. And damn it is he happy they were, because he would been at the bottom of that horrible mound of limbs. Malek doesn't look light at all, so it probably would have been painful. "Good to see you're okay," he offers to the being he's silently claimed as his rival- though such feelings are most likely one sided. Other than that, he goes back to searching until suddenly a shout gets his attention. He holds the child close, wanting to make sure he stays out of harm's way. "H-Hey, take your time!" He shouts as the boy goes running off after their resident vixen. The boy had been searching a wall for anything that could be what they're looking for. His hand hits an earthen knob of some sorts, making him curious. With his only good hand, he pulls with all his might, causing the grinding sound of stone on stone to resonate around them. Then the ceiling rumbles, and rocks begin to fall. He screams when one comes his way, and leaps to the side, staggering to catch his footing. He goes to Sora's side for protection, the man holds the boy close so neither of them get hit by falling rocks. However, when all the fun is finished, there in front of them, starting from the ceiling as though pulled down from the ceiling like an attic's latter is a set of stairs. "Alright!" He shoots off without a care in the world it seems.

Hana scoffs. "That's why I pity them. You gave them aids and probably never in realized it," she says with a cruel smile. He won't ever convince her that night that he truly is clean. No, her little mind is convinced he's a dirty alien old pervert that one lives to perpetuate HIV. Her eyes turn away as he decides to get out, bright blush on her cheeks. Finally. She's not exited for him to suddenly get our, but that means his back is turned to her. She leaps out of the water with surprising speed and grace. She's but a blur to the normal eye as she leaps behind some brush, snatching her clothes along the way. She looks his way almost when he finally answers her about what he's hearing. She stops and notices his pants are on. Ok. She can deal with that. She slips on her own bra and shirt as she listens to him, her eyes peering at him with their glowing gold color through the shadows and bushes. "So after all this time, they've only gotten themselves deeper into that place. Do you think we'll even see them tonight?" Once she's dressed, she looks to him, waiting for him to be ready if he's not already before walking back. Might as well so she can hear about he events passing by in the labyrinth. Of course, she lets the conversation kind of fade some. The song he played while in the river with her seemed to stick in her mind. It's annoying, but she gives a soft hum to the tune in attempt to get it out of her head soon.
Malek shoots sora an arrogant smile before continuing on as I said. He searches and searches. It's reflex thanked ps him from being struck by rocks. As he senses weakness in the ceiling over head, mostly due to sharp ears (not on par of Onsei of course), noticing the initial sounds of cracking stone. Due to their experience, he worried about falling further, and he leaps away all the same to avoid being sent further down into the ground. when it's w staircase instead, he gapes at it. "That's all it took?" He muttered. While he won't actually say it, he really agrees what Aelita says. There's no garantee this is the way out until they are actually outside. He picks up the pace only to not lose track of the kid they were charged with finding or the little fox girl. If only he could not have to worry so much... He just kind of fears punishment for failure that he'd get from Hana. She's not strong yet, but damn does this curse of her hurt. Even Onsei would be writhing in pain if only a little, so he assumes. XD
Aelita just barely escaped the majority of the falling rocks herself. One smaller piece catches on her head, making her stagger. I'm good to go brain dead here, she thinks to herself. A sneer appears on her face at her own dark humor. Once the kid takes off, she shakes it off as she shouts, "Wait! We don't know if this is even going to to us out of the labyrinth yet!" She bounds after him as fast as her human legs will carry her. She won't lose money over him being so stupid as to run off and get killed by who knows what. She won't be so hopeful until she is actually above ground, away from this forsaken place. As if to show how long it's been since she's eaten, her stomach growls a couple times along the way. A hint of suffering appears on her face. It's not like it's been that long or that she eats a lot. But she does eat frequently... And right now she starts to feel the sensation of death itself as her stomach demands nourishment. Ok. Death is an exaggeration... Not to her though.

"You don't believe me? Well....I could always fuck you and see what you've contracted. That's sure to answer a lot of questions," he grins, though it's not lecherous. Still, he continues on to explain upon hearing her question about whether they'll see them tonight or not. "I highly dou-....Maybe," he changes his answer mid-sentence as he hears the sound of crumbling rock, surprised cries and a shout or two of joy. One of which belongs to Aislin herself. "They seem to have found a way out". By now, he's begun to walk at Hana's side, matching her shorter strides to his longer ones. "Like I said, the two humans went and got themselves hurt, Sora more than the woman. He's got a limp to his stride. There should be five sets of feet but there are still only four- the kid could have also gotten hurt.....Yes. The kid's hurt, I can hear five hearts. I would expect them fairly late into the evening," he informs her. Once they make it to the camp, he settles down, leaning against a tree and propping an arm over his knee. He looks at nothing in general for about twenty minutes, sort of falling into a daze if you will. He doesn't speak until he hears a voice on the wind, calling to him. He does not bother to nod, but he does take note of the status report that's just been given to him. "They'll be here around midnight," he allows. Pulling up his main menu real quick, he realizes that it's only about eight o'clock. "Oh, and if you want to practice your cooking, now's the time. The fox says they'll all be pretty hungry by the time they get back".
"It'll be fine!" Aislin insists, "I can smell fresh air even from here!" She calls back to Aelita when she points out a very valid possibility. However, she'd rather be in a different place than that church room. She races the boy to the top of the stairs, and together they welcome the dark sky with open arms. The fresh air she mentioned about an hour ago- because that's how long the case was, it zigged and zagged a bit too- enters her lungs which cry with relief. No musty smells, no scent of decaying corpses, nothing bad. Just the stars and an open midnight blue sky. "Oh god, does this feel good!" At the boy's question, however, she purses her lips, "I don't think so....That's a question for Sora really". It's his job they're doing together after all. Once everyone's at the top, they too will find themselves at the crest of a rather tall, but ancient mountain. a long winding path luckily leads down the side. Before they take off, she pauses, "I should tell Onsei that we're headed back," she tells them casually. Facing the direction she remembers them having headed to this place from, she speaks. She speaks as though talking to someone invisible, and she feels silly for doing it but she knows that the ancient demon will hear her. "We've got the boy. We're a little banged up so it might take us a bit longer to get back than it took to get here. We're all gonna be pretty hungry by the time we get there so be nice and have food ready". That last part she doubts will actually happen.
Sora isn't all too appreciative of the arrogant smile, but doesn't say anything about it. Still, as the boy and the excited fox girl climb the long stair case, he takes his time, not really having the ability to go any faster due to the wound on his leg. He limps his way up step by step, using his blade as a walking staff and one of the walls to support him step by literal step. Still, he manages somehow to not get left behind by anyone, and also welcomes the fresh air with a grin. "You seriously think he'll hear you?" At Aislin's nod, he shrugs. That demon never stops impressing him, it's a wonder he still doubts his abilities. None the less, he waits for Aislin to finish talking before heading down the trail first. God forbid he trip and send everyone tumbling or something like that.
The child laughs and runs around the flat area that he and the fox girl appear in at the top of the steps. Or, he runs around as best as his busted self can. It hurts to let his one arm flop around in the wind and as such it's tucked to him, but even so. He stops his frolicking for a moment to look to the pretty half human. "Can I go home tonight?" Though he's displeased by the answer. He really would love it if he got home tonight. He was hoping stronger people would have saved him. Like that Oni and the fox girl. They both look strong; why did the swordsman and the archer have to be the ones to find him and save him? He huffs. Still, as Aislin kindly gives him a piggy back ride, he speaks up to the limping male. "Hey mister," the boy calls, "Can I go home and see my mom and pop tonight? I really really miss them". But the answer isn't to his liking once more. He's left to pout.
Sora looks over his shoulder only for a moment, "No. You'll be camping out with us for the night. I'm injured and so is Aelita; we both need medical aid before we do anything else. Don't worry, we'll keep you safe the whole night through. Besides, we'll have really tasty food waiting for us when we get back to our camp".
"And," Aislin pitches in, "Maybe my friend will play some music for ya. You do like music, right?" She doesn't dare tell the boy that that's most likely a lie. Why would Onsei make music for a child? Out of the good in his heart? Ha! What good?
"Yea!" This brightens the boy up a bit.

Hana burns a bright red at the mention of him turning on her. "Y-You don't have a chance in hell!" She stutters. The thought of this disgusting, horny demon trying to have his way with her makes her skin crawl. She'd of hurled her dinner if she ate anything. Still, she strolls back to the camp, her cheeks puffed in a silent protest as Onsei walks beside of her. At least she won't be caught naked here. She won't be shedding her clothes again until she knows Onsei is distracted by his little fiancée. All the while, she had been listening to what he reported to her. Once he's done speaking, she starts constructing a makeshift best of soft leaves under a tree at the camp site. "Well I might be asleep. At least they managed to complete the objective." She curls up on her small bed, and her head rests on a flat-ish root that arched up and over the ground as it moved away from the trunk. At the mention of cooking, she snaps with, "Like hell in cooking again! If they want anything from me, they can eat what I already made!" She turns away from him to hide her embarrassment as she's reminded of her failure. She remains tense despite stubbornly insisting from then on that she was sleeping.
Malek reaches the outside with the others, and a relieved smile spreads over his face. "Finally! We're outside!" He jumps and and cheers with the kid, losing his composure as he soaks in the long-missed moonlight. It's only been a few hours, but as far as he's concerned, it could have easily been a week at least, maybe even a month. He looks to ainslin as she decides to give a report. His jumping around stops so he can focus once more on the mission. They're out of the dungeon, but until the kid is returned to his home, their mission isn't over. "Let's get back to camp then. The sooner we do that, the sooner you can convince Onsei to play a song, and the sooner we can look at our injuries and fill our stomachs. No doubt we can all use some food about now." A thought occurs to him and he cringes. "Ask Onsei to cook for us. I'd rather starve than eat Hana's cooking. I hope she hasn't tried to already." That's right. She's tried before for him. Her food of all things nearly killed him. No thanks. "Or at the very least I'll find something if he can't find it in his tiny little heart to give us food after going on a mission while he sat back and napped."
Aelita looks to the sky once they're outside. She isn't jumping around like a giddy fool like some certain demons and children. No, she remains calm and alert. Her eyes wander to Sora once he's out, and she gives him a bright smile. "We're finally out!" She says to him. She'll be happy with the person she just worked with at least. At the mention of a report and getting back to camp, she stares oddly at Ainslin. It makes sense since he seems to be a demon with a strong command over sound. What little she saw in Hana's attempted fight with him has shown her that much. If still astonished her to be extent of the demon's skill. The astonishment lingers a fleeting moment. Hunger and her light-headedness return her mind to getting back to camp. "let's go before it's too late. I need food," she tells the group. Still, she sticks by Sora with his limping self as they walk to keep an eye on him. He's strong, but even strong people may have struggled when injured like he is. "I don't care who cooks," she insists to the Oni. "Just make sure food is ready." She doesn't know quite what she is asking, but she could care less at the moment.

Onsei chuckles, "I like the kind of girl that plays hard to get," he teases the elemental mistress. In reality, while the girl is very beautiful, he doesn't plan on touching her. For now. Besides, he's gotten his fill of feminine touch by having his hands on her body and from those kisses. Those are enough to last him a little while, though not nearly enough to keep him away from the female gender forever. Her pouting is actually very amusing, but he's much too busy giving her information to mock her. Instead, he settles for the embarrassment that rolls off of her in waves when he mentions cooking, "I could always teach you, you know," he offers with a Cheshire grin as she turns away from him. Being reminded of her first failure makes him howl his amusement. Once he's settled down, he realizes that he actually has gotten hungry. Looking at what she's made from nature for cooking, he pulls forth actual food from his inventory. About ten rabbits are what he pulls out and sets to skillfully skinning. Eventually, as in like half an hour or so, he has the rabbit meat boiling in the water with some carrots and other various ingredients he happens t have laying around in his inventory. The smell of the meat cooking makes his mouth water, and once it's ready he begins to eat. However, he pauses, and tosses a twig at Hana's head. Should this not work, he smirks and stage whispers. "Well, I guess this is my chance to cuddle up to her. Sleeping girls can't say no after all". Hopefully that'll get her attention. And, if it does, he grins and pushes a make shift bowl towards her. "Eat. Can't have you being weaker than you already are after all. I promise I didn't poison it or anything".
Aislin laughs at the demon and the child when they begin to jump and shout at the sight of the outside world. She can't really blame him. After checking the time much like Onsei had, she can't help but notice that surprisingly enough it's only been a good few hours. Not a day or anything that Malek fears. However, she blinks at the mention of Hana cooking something. "Is she really that bad? You'd think that since she's a girl, she has some sort of skill at that. At the very least I can teach her". She's only half serious about the girl thing, but no matter. "I don't know if Onsei really will play a song for us; he rarely ever does it for anyone but himself. Last time I heard him play was....I can't exactly remember when". It may have been when she was pretty damn sick and had trouble sleeping a year or so back, but like she said, she can't really remember. "I'm not THAT good of a cook," she denies when Sora speaks of her skills. The walk back to camp is definitely not short, but it's not lively either. She's silent almost the entire way unless someone decides to speak up. Eventually, they do make it however, arriving just a little after midnight. She feels her mouth water even more than it had been, as about half an hour ago she started smelling cooked rabbit stew. Her Stomach rolls hungrily as she sets the child down gently and takes the bowl that's set out for someone. "Onsei, did you make this?" At the demon's nod, she lightly blushes, her heart fluttering despite her not wanting it to. He'll hear it after all, and she doesn't need him wondering why it did so. Too late though as he gives her a curious gaze that doesn't last long. "Onsei, will you play us a song?" Aislin's eyes widen at the demon's reaction. She hasn't seen this part of her crush in a while actually. She had been hoping it was a fluke that she saw it that one time, but apparently not. "Please Onsei? We could all really use some relaxation too. You've just been lazy off your ass all day, where as Sora and Aelita both got hurt even". But her pleading does nothing.
The sound based demon looks up from his position of relaxing. He had long since finished his meal by the time he others got back. "What? Why would I do that?" At Sora's answer, he scoffs, "Why should I play a lullaby for some brat?" The boy responds as he does, making Onsei cruelly laugh. His vermillion eyes coldly stare down the human cub. This is a side that none of your guys have seen before. Sure he's mocked Hana rather openly and poked fun at the others as well, but it was all in good fun. When talking to and about the boy, his smile is fake, the look in his eyes filled with disrespect and discontent. "So what? Just eat your food that I so kindly made you and go to sleep. Sleep off the wounds, you two," this he says to the humans, as though they can actually do that. Maybe if they had a health potion or two, yes, but not if they don't.
Sora beams to his archer friend, "We did! The fresh air is amazing!" He beams. Though then again, the fresh air also stings his wound a little. But the facts that they're free of the labyrinth, they have the boy, the enemy is dead and Aislin is no longer freaking out all help him ignore the small bout of pain. Seeing Aelita's astonishment, he chuckles, "This is something you may wanna get used to or even try some time. We're gonna be traveling together for a while after all". He has no doubt that the demon has a pretty good idea of what happened in the labyrinth either. Still, at the mention of food, his stomach growls to demand food. "Aislin, if Onsei didn't make us something, you should totally cook. I haven't had your amazing food in a while now. I miss it". At her response, he waves at her, "Yea right. You can make gourmet meals out of basically nothing! You can't deny that!" He grins playfully at her embarassed look. As mentioned, the walk isn't anything too exciting, but once they get to camp he is the first to sit in a soft spot that Hana had been so kind as to make for all of them. He takes a bowl of the stew and eats happily until Onsei decides that it's time to be a complete ass. "Come on Onsei, the kid's been through some really tough stuff. One song. That's all we're asking for".
"I said no," Onsei snaps. Unless in battle and being used to kill them in the worst way imaginable, he has only ever allowed humans to hear his music a handful of times. Why should he do it for someone as weak and helpless as a human child?
Aelita huffs, "What if I made you your favorite meal?"
"No," Onsei shrugs off, making the child frown. "Don't look at me like that you squishy little ball of flesh," he snaps, put into something of a bad mood. God, he made freaking food for them, what else do they want? He's not their man-servant after all.

All Onsei gets when she is called hard to get is a pair of middle fingers pointing towards the sky above. "You're getting nothing," she insisted. The offer to teach her how to cook makes her stumble a little in her thoughts. He knows how to cook? And he'd teach her? Bah! She sucks her head and simply says, "Maybe I'll watch you cook sometime." That's her way of agreeing. Still, she remains curled up in her little nest. She does peek curiously over her shoulder at times, though if Onsei gave any indication to noticing this, she snaps back into her "sleeping" state. The smell of the meet and carrots makes her stomach want to growl. It's only by her stubborn will that it doesn't. Maybe she'll sneak some tonight when they are all asleep. She doesn't want to admit to wanting his food. No, she will eat any left overs when everyone's back is turned. The plans to get food swirl in her head and eventually fade as suddenly she's aware of a certain demon close by. Her body remains stiff with her back towards him even as she feels the impact of the stick hitting her, though his comment manages a jolt out of her as panic seeps into her mind in that moment. Her stomach finally gives a small growl. Most wouldn't hear it, but after that incident at the river, she has no doubt he can hear it. A sigh escapes her, and she sits up to accept the bowl of food. "Thank you," she mutters in a small voice. It's actually very good: much better than Malek's simple cooking. In due time, her timid bites turned into stuffing her face with out a care in the world. The little bit she received was more than enough to satisfy her appetite. She looks to the humans, Malek, and Ainslin as they return to camp as Onsei said they would. Her greeting is aimed towards the oni in particular. "It's about time you got back." She smirks at him. Any of her childish pouting is not visible any longer. She stares at Onsei and Ainslin with a blank expression. Huh. So he won't play a song? It's not that he isn't good. He seemed kind enough to play her a song at the river, and the memory of it makes her duck her head until the rush of humiliation has passed. She won't press him. She's already heard a song. "Just be glad you're not in that dark cave any longer, kid," she tells the boy with a smile.
Malek shudders as Ainslin wonders about her cooking. "Trust me. Never accept food from her. That woman has absolutely no talent in anything that's specifically feminine. I swear Onsei can't be too far off by calling her s princess. The brat doesn't know how to do a damn thing like that." He's mostly bitter about the memories of when he first trusted her to these tasks only to be very disappointed, even astonished that someone could be so lacking in simple skills and talents. He isn't aware of her ability to sing since she usually keeps that to herself. He even assumes her singing to be as awful as her cooking. Still, once they arrive at camp, he's delighted to see a well cooked meal instead of the toxic sludge his master always manages to make up. He sends her a small glare as he's greeted. "Shoulda come with us if you were so worried about time." He ignores her from there to claim a bowl of food for himself. Still, he looks to the kid as he's denied a song by the demon. It seemed rather cruel in hindsight to expect Onsei to entertain the kid. "That's alright. Just hurry up and eat before food gets cold, kid." No doubt any food the boy received in his time there was probably close to Hana's cooking quality wise. He was curious to see if he'd hear any music to relax. He must be good if even the human boy was eager to listen. Still, he tears into his portion of the food ravenously.
Aelita looks to the side at the mention of traveling together for a while with these demons. Geez. She's slready come along this far, might as well keep going. It seems to be not too bad of a group. Well... It's not bad so long Onsei and Hana aren't here with their arrogant attitudes. Once they arrive to the camp site, she beams at the stew ready for them all. "I can help you with your leg after we eat," she offers Sora before she moved to get her own portion. The rabbit and carrots fill her stomach as she pays no regard even to her own bloodied head. She can't heal with out a good deal of food to nourish her. She glares to Onsei as he decided to insist on them just sleeping it off. "You do remember we are human, right? Neither of our injuries will be gone by the morning time." Hers will close up, but it'll still be there. Soras leg may very likely still give him trouble in the morning. She downs her food anyways. With a full stomach, she turns to Sora. She has no potions, but she can at least make sure his leg is set and clean (don't remember what exactly was wrong and don't wanna look back lol). She makes sure he's set to heal up at least some during the night before checking on her own injury to make sure it's cleaned and wrapped with bandages.

"Yea, that's what you think," Onsei chuckles. Just because he's not getting action doesn't mean he's not amused. Most certainly that's not 'nothing'. Still, his smirk widens as she mentions watching him cook a meal. Obviously she's desperate if she'll take some sort of lessons from someone she hates. He knows that she's watching him. Her heart is too active for her to be completely asleep, but not active enough for her to have a wild dream or nightmare. Not that he cares that she's watching. She wants to learn after all; if that means secretly watching what he does then whatever. Still, he eats his portion of the meal, something rather small compared to what most people his size would eat. Part of it is that he only prepared so much so it's not like there's left overs to go around. The human child's pouting keeps him in a rather dark mood, but with no one else but Aislin and Sora pushing for him to make music as though he were some sort of juke box he manages to settle down a little bit. Once everyone's had at least a little bit of food in their stomachs, he demands, "What was your vision, girl?" Later in the night, when everyone is asleep if you'll allow me to ffw a bit, he cannot sleep. Not because he's keeping watch or anything as their camp is well hidden, though. Instead, his fingers and arm twitch restlessly, wanting to move. His shoulders soon begin to follow, convulsing and then settling before doing so again but in a painful manner. The pain increases steadily for about two and a half hours, reaching the point where one convulsion would easily kill a demon close to Malek's caliber. Finally, fed up with the the pain, he sits up as silently as his body will allow. Fine. He snarls at himself. He stands and leaves the camp, walking away about five miles until finally he finds himself in an endless field. There, he positions his fingers as though ready to play a piano. His arms and fingers convulse as he holds them as is, and only when music begins to ring around him does the pain begin to slowly subside. He plays the same song over and over again, not because it's the only one he knows, but it's the only one that comes to mind at the moment. I won't really get into WHY he's doing this unless someone comes along and finds him for some reason. Simply put, it's something of a weakness for him. FFw-ing again to the morning, by the time everyone is awake, he's already waiting. He's been awake the whole night, not that he lets this show on his face or in his actions. This time he doesn't make a meal, but inhales the breakfast given to him. When Sora talks about taking off, he stands again. "Let's head out then. We've got better things than to baby sit". He ignores Aislin's glare.
The girl's ears fall flat on her head as Malek explains Hana's lack of cooking skills, "....Well, if we ever need to poison someone, we know who to go to". She tries to stay at least a little positive. Though she wouldn't be surprised if Malek was right in saying that Onsei is pretty spot on when calling her 'princess'. Aislin glares at Onsei, not at all pleased by the demon's attitude. She should have guessed that this would happen, having seen this side of him before. However, she had at the very least hoped that he would hold back a little. He did, but probably only because something put him in a good enough mood before hand for him to do so. "Sorry," she offers the boy a small smile before handing a bowl to him and letting him eat. She eats in silence until Onsei demands something of a report to go with her return. Her eyes divert from her food, hand freezing in front of her mouth before she can take the bite of stew. Flashes of the vision run through her mind, a dark shiver running down her back. "It started out with me being at a ball of some sort, there were a lot of rich people there- all kinds too, but mostly human. It was a pretty extravagant one too. I guess you guys were there, I didn't see you but something tells me that you were. I saw this trio, a little boy and his parents. The boy had green eyes and brown hair. He was holding his mom's hand; she had purple hair and green eyes like him. His dad was with them too; he had brown hair and really light blue eyes. He looked at me and mouthed his thanks but when I went to reply the whole scene changed to this sort of....Church looking room. Pews and an altar and stained glass that that kind of stuff; it was all there. At the base of the alter, was a large pile of bodies. I saw multiple men and women that had been dancing and having fun seconds ago, dead. Standing on the alter was the little boy, a crazed smile on his face. "This is for you, Lord Bhunevelze! I give to you this virtual world! Take it with you when you recreate reality!" He stabbed himself in the gut with a dramatically decorated blade and slumped, falling off the alter, down the mound and stopping there. The walls and floors lit up with formerly invisible writing of some sort. Then there was a bright light and.....Nothing". A tremor rolls through her frame for a second as she tries to calm herself down. Remembering it is bad enough, but with how vivid that vision was, it was like remembering something that had already happened to her. In response to Sora's question, she shakes her head, "I don't know who they were......But you're right. The boy in the vision does look a lot like the boy here with us". She eyes him warily, though the boy had fallen asleep in the middle of her story. She really REALLY hopes that he's not the boy. When morning hits, she wakes herself up with a bath in the near by river. A short one, but one that's more than enough to get her blood flowing. Using what she's got in her inventory much like Onsei had the night before, she pulls ingredients out to make oat meal with a side of fruit. She herself eats the fruit IN the hot cereal, but that's just her. She had noticed Onsei getting up only because the memory of her vision had startled her awake in the form of a nightmare half an hour prior. She saw the tremors that ran from his shoulders to his fingers, but did not bother with asking what was wrong. He's done that before, but when she had asked for an explanation, he gave none. "I'm as ready to go as I'll ever be," she smiles to the child whom stretches his short legs, "Are you ready to finally go home?" She laughs at the boy's enthusiasm, and walks once everyone's ready to go.
The nameless boy huffs, shoveling food into his mouth though his childish pride won't allow him to admit that it's good. "Stupid old geezer," he growls, but doesn't dare look at Onsei when he says it. Half way through the story, the kid falls asleep, not having any interest or perhaps being too tired to. He beams at breakfast, pleased by its superior flavor when compared to dinner. He too eats fruit in his meal; strawberries compared to Aislin's peach slices. It takes him a little more effort than it should to stand since he too is not fully recovered from the night before, but he manages it. He beams widely to the fox woman when she asks him about going home, "I can't wait!"
"Thank you," the swordsman thanks Aelita as she offers to patch him up after food. "What a party pooper," Sora huffs, being the only one to further push Onsei to make music. They had just gotten done with a pain in the ass labyrinth and that guy won't even make some celebratory music! He listens closely to Aislin's vision, or rather the description of it. His orbs shoot to the boy whom within minutes after eating, falls asleep. "....The kid looks a lot like that description," which doesn't really bode well for them. However, he doesn't dare suggest that this kid is from the vision. Not yet at least. He flinches a little as his friend fiddles with his wound, patching up the large gash as he's still thankful that that's all it is and not a broken leg. He'd offer to help her attend to her own wound, but honestly he sucks so hard at first aid it's not even funny. He could accidentally kill her even if he were just wrapping up her head injury, that's how bad he is. Like Hana, he devours his dinner, pleased by the taste, but doesn't get his fill. Sleep hits him like a full on attack from Malek's blade, Sora falls asleep in no time, sprawled out in his spot and mouth hanging open. He's not the most graceful sleeper. When morning hits, he's managed to get a decent sleep which pleases him greatly. "You got even better at cooking, Aislin!" He praises as he basically drinks the warm cereal, popping in the handful of blueberries into his mouth all at once. He stumbles to his feet, leg not fully healed but definitely less tender than last night. "I think it's time we get going," he announces to the others, "I think it's about half a day's walk from her back to the kid's place, and I wanna make good time". When they leave, however, he begins in the wrong direction, ignoring the boy as he corrects him right away as though he were stupid.
