A day out in the sun

[Katsumi]

Chesna held his soul gingerly, with the delicate touch that one would expect from some one like her. Gazing at it, she gently returned it to Damian's hands. She looked at him, her eyes filled with sincerity and caring. "I am honored, and I will cherish it forever, but this is something that you shall keep. I'll always have it, as long as you wish, but you should keep it with you. It is yours, after all, and no one could care for it better."

And she looked at the boy again. He was a nuisance, watching them. How incredibly rude! "Do you mind?" she muttered, trying to get him to leave. He bothered her, and worried her at the same time. He knew her mother's name. Any one who knew her mother's name couldn't be up to any good; she knew that from personal experience.

~The orb entered his body. This was different though,this time it was a shock to the system. It was as if something had been transfered to him. This had never happened before. Had something been passed to him through her touch. The feeling wasn't bad, it was as if he had found nervana, The pull he felt torwards her was stronger than ever now. The scent was to.~ As you wish...." ~He fainted in her arms.~


~The boy looked at her~ "You truely are her daughter. I knew her, and your father, before you were born." ~He gave her a slight bow, with his arm at his stomoch.~ "I ams Alastor Evans. One could almost say I am your God-Father." ~He returned to a up-right postion.~ "How is your mother? I still owe her for all those years ago."

[Katsumi]

Supporting Damian, Chesna shot a glare at the boy. "You really must be mistaking me for some one else," she spat, her tone suddenly evil. This 'Alastor' didn't deserve her sweet siren tones; he would get the harpy side that her race was also famed for. She returned her attention to Damian though. Carefully, but with more strength than some one of her size should have, she hoisted him up and held him in her arms. She couldn't help but let a smile cross her lips. He was handsome when he was unconscious. But, her expression changed as her eyes left Damian and returned to Alastor.

How dare he approach her and try to say he knew her parents? How dare he even mention the name Reza to her? And just what did he owe her for? In her mind, she was telling herself that she should just deafen this little nuisance now and end it, but something made her curious. How could a child this young, who was so obviously younger than Chesna, know of her mother? And dare he insult her by suggesting that her mother would have allowed her to have a god-father? Chesna had listened to her mother ranting for years about how males were absolutely worthless, especially as child-rearers.

[Chibi Ryuzaki]

~Alastor stared back at her.~ "She gave me those same eyes when we met. But needless to say she helped me when no one else would, and I owe her for it." ~Damian gave a slight moan in is sleep.~ "Will he be ok?"
~Alastor turned around and started to walk off.~ "If you ever need anything, I will glad to help you."

~Damian woke up in Chesna's arms, his body was numb, and his vision blured, but he was still able to make out he beautiful facial features.~ "What...what happened?"

[Katsumi]

Chesna glared at Alastor for another second before her expression transformed and her compassionate gaze returned to Damian. She was relieved he was alright. "I gave you your soul back, and then you passed out. You really worried me," she said, still holding him. "Do you think you can stand?"

Her mind was wrought with thoughts of that little demon Alastor. She gave him those same eyes? Shows what he knew: Chesna's eyes were obviously a trait she inherited from her father. Her mother's eyes were blue. She was both curious and hateful toward the little imp. But, she had more important things to worry about, such as the boy in her arms. Yes, much more important.

[Chibi Ryuzaki]

~Damian was confused, he heard footsteps leaving. But his body was still numb. What had happened. It was the first time a soul fragment had done that to him.~ "I'm sorry that I worried you that I am. If you like you can lay me down on the ground, I still don't think that I can stand yet, my body feels numb." ~He was silent for a moment, then he remembered the footsteps.~ ~Was...was there someone else here?"

[Katsumi]

Chesna was extremely delicate as she laid Damian down. Not wanting him to be uncomfortable on the ground, she sat down with him and rested his head on her lap. Looking down at him, she smiled softly, as if to say that she was sorry. She was curious as to why his soul would do such a thing to him. "Don't worry, Damian. I'll stay with you until you're well again," she said. It wasn't an offer, it was a promise.

"Yes, some one else was here. Some little child. He thought I was some one else, but I told him that I wasn't who he was looking for." She smiled brightly, adding, "It was no big deal."

[Chibi Ryuzaki]

"It is strange, that was the first time my soul fragment has ever been touched by another gifted, it felt as if something else was passed along with the fragment." ~With what little strength he had he lifted up his hand to look at it, His vision still a little blury. He then looked up at her, even upside down she was beautiful.~ "Do you feel any different?" ~he thought for a second.~ "That boy, was his name Alastor by any chance.?"

[Katsumi]

"No, I feel completely normal. Well, a little be shaken. You really gave me a scare. I'm sorry if I... messed up your soul, or whatever I could have done. I'm sorry!" she said quickly, looking down at him. Her eyes were heavy with apology. She wondered what she could have done by touching his soul. Had she given him a part of her? What about her powers? Were they in tact? Very quietly, Chesna hummed a small tune. She sounded the same, almost as if she was a chorus in herself. It was all the same. When he went on to say the name 'Alastor' though, Chesna looked at him oddly. He knew that annoying little brat? But, she hesitated before she answered. "Alastor? ...yes, I think that's what he said it name was. You know him?" she asked.

[Chibi Ryuzaki]

~He was glade to hear that she was ok.~ "I am so glad to hear that you are ok, that I am." ~His thoughts then turned to Alastor for a moment.~ "Alastor Evans, born in Britain. Age roughly 2073 years of age, give or take a decade, records from that time period or inconclusive. He has two abilities, one he is immortal, never ages,rapid healing and regeneration. Tow he can sense the presense of other gifteds. He is a good person, it is just that he has been alone for most of his life. So please don't hate him for any rudness he might have shown, truefuly he really doesn't know any better." ~There was a small twinge of pain in his legs as the feeling started to come back. He then looked up at Chesna and asked.~ "Chesna, may I please hear you sing again?"

[Katsumi]

With a smile, Chesna nodded. So, Damian did know about Alastor. He was immortal? That answered some questions, like how it was possible for him to know her mother's name, and how he could know her mother's name and not be dead. But, Damian had requested a song, and a song he would receive. "I would be happy to sing for you, Damian." He knew how to make her feel better, definitely. Chesna loved to hear that he enjoyed her song. So, she began to sing. This wasn't her siren language any more, though it definitely still wasn't English. Because Chesna had traveled every where in her training, she knew so many songs in so many languages. This particular tune was French, soft and beautiful much like herself.

[Chibi Ryuzaki]

~Damian didn't particularly care for french music, but Chesna's voice made it beautiful. The sun was setting now, aside from being immobilized it had been a most perfect day. A tear form in his eye, as he looked up at her again.~ "Truely you are a Goddess." ~He song ended to soon for him, when it did, he tryed to sit up, failing a few times in the process. On the forth try or so he made his way up to a sitting position, and turned to face her. He still couldn't tear his eyes away from hers.~

[Katsumi]

"Oh! Be careful!" Chesna said, helping Damian as he tried to sit. When he finally succeeded, she was a little bit calmer. She smiled when he looked at her; she had never quite effected a boy like she was effecting Damian. She couldn't help but keep wondering if she had done something else by touching his soul, but she didn't ask him. He was still healing from whatever she had done. She glanced away though for a moment. It was hard for Chesna to accept a compliment, and Damian had called her a goddess. "No, I'm really not. I'm just... a girl, who can sing," she said, peachy blush spreading across her cheeks. 'Goddess,' that was a new one. She had heard angel, banshee... all sorts of things, but now she could add 'goddess' to the list.

[Chibi Ryuzaki]

~Damian placed his hand on her cheek and rubbed it slightly with his thumb and looked at her with caring and compasionat eyes.~ "To me you are a goddess, that you are." ~He then started to stand up. His arms hung down at his side, his knees buckled inwards, and his head faced the ground. He was breathing heavely now. His body was stiff, if this was the way all gifted would effect him he was in trouble. What had happened. He didn't feel complet, something was missing. Even though he he was with her, something was missing. He held out his hand and formed a large orb, it fluctuated wildly and gave of electro-static discharges. It then re-entered his body.~ "That is it then, a fragment is missing, but how? When?" ~His eyes met Chesna's again and he was drawn in again. He then held out his hand to take her's so he could help her up. The sun was almost set at this point.~ "Well what now?" ~He gave her a warm smile.~

[Katsumi]

Chesna took his hand very softly, mostly using her own strength to raise to her feet. Standing from a sitting position with no help was a basic skill for dancers, and she didn't want to draw on Damian's strength when it seemed to be dwindling. She had been too focused on Damian's fainting and their visitor, Alastor, to notice him loosing any part of his should. She now regretted that; she could have been more help if she had paid a bit more attention. She only hoped that it wasn't the part that he had given her. That would have been depressing. "Maybe... maybe we should try to find that piece of you soul, Damian. I don't want you to faint again. What if you get hurt?" she said, worried about him. Damian was very kind, but Chesna returned the feelings. She didn't want anything to happen to the poor boy who seemed so fond of her.
