Welcome to Gaia! ::

After getting them a room and then struggling to find it, Lucia opened the door to there given room and looked around with a light smile, it was cozy and was painted with warm colours, two single beds and she found a couple of her things had been taken to the room, she looked back at Inukai soon stepping in so he could come in also, she spotted her medicine bag with her equipment and walked over to it.

Picking out a bluey, greeny powder and carried it to the closest source of water and gulped it down, it was a medecine she made to help with a servere headache, she sighed in realief and placed a hand on her head at least now she wouldn't have to go to bed with a pounding headache, so much had happened within one day, it was then she also realised the burnt skin which had blistered on her wrist.

It would hurt to pop but she didn't want to leave it in case she slept on it. She ran some water and grit her teeth and she decided to clear up the blister. Removing the raw skin she then went back into their main room and went back to her medical bag where she place a patch on the blistered skin, she got out some bandages and looked up at Inukai, she was able to do it herself but she thought it would be a way to make conversation.

"Kai, would you mind giving me a hand?" she asked raising the roll on bandage and sat down on a bed. Then again she didn't want him to feel uncomfortable. As she looked at him she wondered how hard it could be for him to clean his own wings, it couldn't be easy so she would offer his help if it would help.

Lucia smiled as she saw the curiousity in Inukai as she took the medicine. She looked down at her equipment and her bag and then back at Inukai as he agreed to help her with the bandaging, she tilted her head slightly and looked up as she thought of when she got burnt by the over spilt water from the boiling hot pan when she was rushing around in Heyen's kitchen.

"uh, i helped Heyen out in the kitchen with some cooking and just got a bit busy" she shrugged slightly as she then looked back at Inukai and watched him bandage her arm for a moment. He was careful, she didn't think he would know how to bandage very well but he seemed alright at doing it. She remembered about his wings.

"thank you" she smiled and placed her hand on his head as she got up, she grabbed a bowl from her equipment stuff and walked into the small bathroom, filling up the bowl with hot water and grabbed a cloth. Stepping out and back into the room she placed the bowl beside him on the side table. "the cold water on your wings isn't good for them". She dipped the cloth in the water "do you mind if i help?" she didn't want him to catch a cold and it was the least she could do since her sheltered.

She felt the slight movement under her hand as she plaed her hand on his head. Maybe he wasn't used to it...Lucia smiled as he curled his wings round so she could help him. She rinced out the warm cloth and gently brushed it against his delicate feathers, removing the dirt from the rain and the cold that would have sunk it. She made sure every stroke was with care, his wings were a gorgeous colour, she seemed pretty focused not to harm him or cause any discomfort.

Lucia glanced up at him with curiousity hiden in her eyes from his question. It sounded like he was refering to himself but didn't want to ask it straight out, a calm and warm smile crossed Lucia's lips and she spoke warmly as well. "demons are just other creatures of this world...hungry...tired...living, they live just like humans just in different ways, it doesn't matter who they are or what they are, they should be treated the same, so i think it's fine for a demon to be close to humans Kai..."

Lucia wasn't really a fan of demons because of her past but she believed everyone at least deserved a chance, she knew there were bad demons who should be left alone but in Inukai's situation she thought that humans would probably fall easy for his looks in his humanish form and the wings would probably be another accessory that the humans would like, Lucia was just worried that some people may take advantage of Inukai. She continued to clean his wings and brush away the dirt and cold with smooth gentle strokes.

His slight movement to look over his shoulder slightly at her made her look up at him and caused yet another smile on her face. Her gaze returned to his ebony wings, the colour coming out more as she cleaned them gently, she had then soon came to a finish and she placed the bowl on the side, as Inukai asked her if she would mind if he was a demon she gave him a side glance and then sat down on her bed.

Sitting opposite him she leaned forward slightly, she knew Inukai wasn't human that was pretty clear. Humans didn't have wings for one thing and he had a completely different energy. She shrugged lightly "why would i...you're you right? It doesn't matter what you are..." she enjoyed Inukai's company, it made her feel more relaxed then most people. So even if he were a demon she didn't see how it should bother her.

"don't worry Kai...i won't run away..." she smiled and got up and went over to her bag, kneeling beside it. "maybe you should get some rest...i have a few things to do." she smiled as she started pulling out some herbs, a large cloth and readying her equipment, she laid out the cloth then put out her equipment. She wanted to get some work done and doing it before she went to sleep wasn't exactly the best time...but it needed to be done, plus she enjoyed making her medicines and solutions.

Lucia glanced up at Inukai as he said thank you, her eyes widening slightly and her cheeks felt a slight tingle, it was the first time to see him smile like that and to know she caused it, made her feel a bit good about herself. "everyone deserves a chance Kai.." she spoke lightly as her gaze went back to her work as if she was avoiding eye contact.

As he agreed to get some rest Lucia smiled and nodded however as he continued, she dropped a piece of equipment, she didn't think Inukai understood fully what he had just implied and it certainly caused her pale skin to tingle a slight pink "uh, Kai those kind of feelings..." Lucia felt suddenly tongue tied and didn't know how to explain. He could have meant it one thing or another.

She tried to get her head around what had kinda happened. She couldn't really seem to focus and just sat there for a moment. "when those feelings are strong enough, sometimes your body and mind might want to do those kind of things with someone you cherish, really value...you will experience it yourself Kai." did she say the right thing? she felt rather slugish and embarrassed, she didn't really get into these kinds of situations.

(sorry been a bit busy...)

Lucia thought about what he had said and smiled, she guessed he must have ment just the friendly kiss to cheek, but he said when the humans mouth touched, usually that was only if the case was a deeper relationship...from the corner of her eye. Lucia watched Inukai snuggle down into his covers and basically said good night. She smiled lightly "sleep well Kai" she replied.

She began grinding up some herbs and adding a bit of water, then broke it up into little pieces where she would then roll them into a ball, her concentration was then broken by the sound of Inukai turning in his bed, a sudden shiver creeped down her spine as she felt the sudden change in the room, she raised a brow and glanced over at Inukai, suddenly a tail coiling out from under the cover and into view.

Now she was quite confused, his wings still covered his body so she couldn't really see him, but he suddenly had a tail. Lucia was rather interested but didn't want to go over just yet. She continued making her medicines as she raised random herbs to her nose to take in the scent and experiement with different herbs to make different and stronger medicines. She knew which herbs would make an effective medicine and which could turn a medication to a poison.

She tasted a few herbs making sure they were still ok to use and started grinding up most of the ok herbs, tucking her hair behind her ear and out of her face while she worked, once again the sight of Inukai's tail catching her eye the way it hung out from the covers. She thought he may have been a sleep by now and got up quietly, she thought she should leave it, but her curiousity got the best of her and she creeped round he other side of his bed, the figure in the bedding was certainly different and as she looked closer...

Lucia's eyes widened as she stared for a while, she shook her head slightly, it was quite a change and she could't really get her head around it, his form was actually rather cute and caused Lucia to smile and to chuckle lightly as a bit of hair dropped down over her face. "a dragon huh? you're so adorable Kai..." she whispered gently as she pulled the cover back a bit and tucked it under him gently and stroked the white hair back between his ears delicately, trying not to disturb him.

(when i read that i was like "AWWW i want one! lol")

Lucia didn't really pick up the smells when making her medicines because she had been doing it so long. As Inukai let out a gentle huff as she tucked him in, Lucia froze quickly and looked at him for a moment before a gentle smile and chuckle left her lips. Another suprise causing her to find rather cute and amusing, was the little humming sort of noise and his out stretched neck. She giggled lightly again and had the temptation to just sit and watch him but she knew she had work to do.

A gentle sigh was let go as she went back to her herbs and her equipment, she didn't want him wakeing up or anything so chose to leave him be, continueing with her medicine making she had made quite a bit and chose to leave it at that for now, she moved her stuff closer to her bed and put the herbs away after clearing up her equipment and blanket, she pulled back the covers of her bed and sat down, She had had a rough day, traveling, selling her medicines, helping Heyen and meeting Inukai then going off the find the residential area.

Lucia removed her shoes and grabbed a robe from her bag, walking into the small bathroom, quickly changing out of her long black dress and into her robe. She came back through after folding her dress and placing it beside her bed, pulling her hair forward and tying it up with the ribbon from her uninjured wrist. She laid down in the bed covers and snuggled down into the bed, her fringe falling down over her eyes as they closed and she began to drift off to sleep herself.

Lucia turned in her sleep, as if having a bad dream, she felt to hot and stuffy, confined and cornered, all that she could she was a raging fire, causing her confusion and shook a bit of fear into her, she wanted to wake up but she knew she would have to go threw with the dream before even hoping of waking up. She turned a bit more in her sleep, accidently biting into her bottom lip.
