 Saix had been wandering around ever since his last encounter with Nahira, searching for answers in both the physical world and his soul.
He looked around, realizing where he was. "The glen...?" He spoke, as if there were someone next to him. He sighed. She probably wouldn't still be here. he thought to himself...just as he did he heard a scream from near by. "NAHIRA!" Saix gasped loudly, he'd recoginize that voice anywhere. He'd never forget it.
Upon reaching a small pool of water and a very...odd looking figure that looked somehow familiar Saix paused. "...Nahira?!"

Whats... going on! Where did these wings on her back come from, they where not there the previous day, also... why did she now have two tails? And... She thought the one halo was annoying enough, but this one took the cake! for it was friggin GLOWING!
"Whats.. going on, what happened to me." Nahira shut herself off from the outside world for the moment. She couldnt hear... and couldnt think, her mind was blurred. She didnt know what was going on. The only thing she could feel, was the pain. Saix was standing near her, but she didnt realize it. Rocking back and forth she mumbled, recalling back what happened. "Noise... all i remember was that noise. It was such a pleasent melody.. i was curious. Next thing i remember was pain... it felt like my body was twisting itself in two.. what happened!?" During the process of rocking back and forth the wound from the newly grown wings on her back re-opened, and 'red water' started to free flow out of it once again... staining her back even worse then it already was.
Hissing softly as it did, the new level of pain brought her back to her normal state of mind. Sensing a presence behind her for female wheeled around. "Sa-Saix!?" What was he doing here! Did he do this!? Nahira forgot that she, herself had told him of this place.

He jumped back as she said his name. Was he not supposed to see this? "Nahira what happened to you?! You're a mess...and...you have wings and two tails?!" What the hell was going on here?!
"Hold still, you're bleeding." He bent down, cupping some water between his hands. He moved behind her. "Let me clean you up, or you'll end up more brused than you already are." He had a growl in his tone to make sure she wouldn't move. "Now, you're going to explain what the HELL happened to you and you're going to start explaining now!" He slowly started to pour the water out of his gloved paws and onto Nahira's blood soaked back.

He couldnt have done it... why would he? What would he have to gain? Besides... what the hell was she now? A Angel? Sence when did she do anything to classify herself as a 'holy angel'. Either that or this is someones idea of a sick joke.
" I dont know what happened to me Ok!" She replied to the first initial questioning with a soft growl.
"..." She was going to say something to argue with him, but never finished. She didnt even realize the wound was open once again. Sighing heavily she watched him out of the corner of her eye. She HATED the feeling of helplessness, but in the pain she was in she could barely move without feeling like she had a knife digging in her back. There was no point in arguing.
"Demanding arnt you?" She mumbled with a 'heh' under her tone. "I already told you i dont know. I wandered here like i usually do and i heard something. So i stupidly lowered my headphones and i investigated. Wont make that dumb mistake twice. Next thing i knew i had the pain, then.. nothing. Come to think of it i could have sworn i heard someone speaking... but its blurry. I passed out soon afterwords. And woke up with-" She moved her arm and pointed towards her back. "These." She then lowered her arm.

He bent down to get more water to clean her up. But it was hard with all these flowy clothes. "b*****d robe!" He stood up, threw it off and took off his gloves. Bending back down and picking up more water and slowly poured it, little by little, removing the blood from her fur.
"Consider yourself lucky. You're alive, that's what matters at this point. And besides, think of the advantages you have now compared to before." He was...trying to make light of a bad situation? Helping someone? What the hell was wrong with HIM should have been his first question, now what was wrong with her.
"Nahira...about when we first talked...did you honestly mean that I could find my emotions again?"
He watched as the blood water dripped down her back, she was clean now, but still, where the blood had come from looked sore. He grumbled. "Hold still this'll hurt." He grabbed his robe and draped it over her back as lightly as he could, covering up the soft spot, however, the robe was heavy, definatly not the most ideal 'bandage', but it would have to do.

Was this a compliment and or a sign of gratitude it didnt take her life? She wondered to herself, it seems Saix has grown a little sence there last encounter/discussion.
"Advantages huh? Heh.... thats one way of putting it i guess." What was her advantages? Flight and a portable night light? Oh yeah.. and another tail-bell to worry about. She wasnt really in a mood to reason with anyone... but the pain was starting to recead at least.
Wincing nahira did something she hadnt tried yet, and that was move her folded wings away from her back to give more-space for the other. They ached as much as ever, but at least this time when she moved them her back didnt seem to bleed. Well she couldnt really tell if it did or not.
"If i didnt believe it was true i wouldnt have said anything." Was her responce to the question. "Im not one to give false-hope, so... yes. I really do think you can."
The natural reaction of the weight of the coat came out as a growl, but it sounded more like a hiss. She didnt say any words of anger to him... Saix was just trying to help. Though she still felt horrible... the feeling of helplessness wasnt one she particulary enjoyed.
Lifting her arm she placed her paw on the collar of the coat, to help keep the 'bandage' in place. "Thank you..."

Saix flinched as she hissed and growled. This was causing her a large ammount of pain, he knew this because Nahira didn't seem like one to just whine about any simple pain.
He stood up and walked over to a near by tree, sitting against is he sighed. "Well...whatever made you change, it seems to have left now. Atleast for a while anyway." He kept his eyes on her. "Besides the obvious advantages, you do have another tail bell I can make fun of." He laughed under his breath before he knew what he was doing. It must have been the lack of sleep that made his laugh. He hadn't slept at all since his last chat with Nahira, it was draining on him. He rubbed his eyes with his paws trying to stay coherant.
"I've been trying to change. But I still see myself as evil, I know I have a short temper, that's just who I am. But I know that I am not evil, I just can't help the feeling that I am though."
He paused as he heard her 'thank you'...she was thanking him? He thought back...yes, there was no doubt, this was the first 'thank you' he had heard in a long long while. "You're welcome...I couldn't honestly leave you here like that."

Oh yeah.. it did leave didnt it? "God damn b*****d thing... if thats what made me change... ill ring its bloody neck once i find it."
Whats this.. a laugh? Her ears pricked up a bit at the laugh he sprouted. Interesting... he has changed. The female couldnt help but snicker. "Well, you saying i have all the more freedom to tease you about you laughing?" Nahira grinned back, her tone was a joking one. ".. Oh... wait.. Hey! No joking my tail bell! I SHALL train myself to where it doesnt make noise!" She exclaimed forgetting he was teasing her firstly. Almost on cue, the bells gave a lil 'tink'. "...... damnit." She said glaring down at her tails.
"Well if having a short temper is who you are, and unless you wish to change it... then why change? I mean, other emotions are great to have but..." She hoped he got what she meant. She was trying to say that having a wide range of emotions was great, but people usually stick to one dominant one.
"Evil, you? Naw." Feeling a new strength come to her legs she hoisted herself off the ground. Her legs where not the injured part of her body afterall... she just couldnt bend over or move her tails without the pain increasing.
The sun was almost gone as of this point, the moon was already present. Afterall... the mood was visible during the day sometimes too. Nahira turned her nose towards the sky and gazed at it for a few seconds, before looking back down to earth.
"Besides, if you where evil... more then likely you wouldnt have helped me."
She too noticed something different about him... was it his fatique she noticed, or something else?
"You seem to be tired." Nahira said looking down at him.

Saix's ears quirked as Nahira made a threat against...whatever it was. "Chill out. If you want revenge you have to be calm and wait. I'll stick around with you, so if it does come back, I can actually do something about it. Given your condition, you're about as useful in a fighting circumstance as someone without legs." He snorted.
He lowered his head and coughed. "That wasn't a laugh...I don't laugh, ever. And I'll make fun of you and your-" there was a tink from Nahira's tail bells then. "Ha! That's probably how you got yourself in this stupid predicament in the first place, you and those stupid bells."
Cracking his neck, Saix grumbled. "I want to be better then I am, I always wanted that, but I always thought my mind meant strength, getting constantly stronger. Guess I was wrong about myself...you were right before, very right. I kept myself from feeling, I don't want that anymore."
He almost said something as Nahira told him he wasn't evil...but then she got up. He nearly spang to his knees to make sure she wouldn't fall over, but cought himself once he realized she was indeed able to stand without too much of a problem. "I helped you because you helped me Nahira...I owe you."
His sarcastic nature returned with Nahira's next statement. "And you seem to have two tails and a pair of wings. If we are having a state-the-obvious contest here, I think I have you beat."

"Do you blame me?" She said in a harsh tone towards him at the first part of the initial statement. "... Saix you know as well as i do i can take care of myself." Nahira didnt mean for it to seem as harsh as it proberbly did, but was was angry... and she didnt like to be treated like a helpless little child.
"De-ni-aaaal~" Nahira replied in the most sarcastic tone she could muster up at that time. "You do laugh~" Lifting up her arm she waved off the fact that it was the bells fault.
"Mmm... people whom get too strong tend to become unintelegent meatheads. Not saying you are... just from past experiances." She snorted loudly and shook her head. Then again... she views a lot of others as uninteligent. "Well the first steps to everything is realization."
Nahira's eyebrow quirked at the last part. "Oh.. so... if i didnt help you earlier you wouldnt have helped me tonight?" That statement kind of... hurt her.

"And you know as well as I do that you would have been sitting there whining and bitching about it hurting for a long while, long enough for that wound to get infected. You could easily take care of yourself, I know it, but when something like this happens it's better if you have help." He shruged off he tone, he knew she really didn't mean to cut him with her words, though she still did.
"Fine! I laugh, happy? I just don't laugh often. I don't know why, it's hard to laugh." He was sick of not saying these things, so he had decided to just blurt them out, say what had always been a problem for him, maybe Nahira had an answer to his pain.
Saix just raised an eyebrow at Nahira. Was that a compliment...or an insult? He took it as both, and huffed loudly.
His ears fell as Nahira's tone. "That...that's not that I meant...I mean, I mean I would have helped you even if you didn't help me before...but I don't think I could have done as good of a job." He sighed and rubbed his eyes. "I'm having a hard time putting what exactly I mean into words. It's...it's like I don't think I would have given you my coat, I don't think I would be here talking to you. I don't think I COULD be doing any of this...I just...I don't know."

She'd never admit to the whining part. "Heh, i proberbly would have gotten an infection... your right." She clasped the coat/bandage a little tighter.
"Hard to laugh? Naw it isnt hard. Just sometimes misunderstood." She sneered. "Weeelll... laughing usually comes when something ammuses you. Doesnt matter how dark or evil... or how stupid it is. For example, if one of the 'organization' members tripped and fell... what would you do? Would that ammuse you?"
He spoke in riddles, luckily... she liked riddles. Sighing deeply she watched towards him and gently took a seat a little distance away. She moved the tender parts of her flesh as little as possible. "Look, i helped you the other day because i wanted to. You dont need to "owe" me anything. If you want to classify todays actions as 'repaying' me, then so be it.. thats your choice. BUT, dont think i think the same way."
Removing the coat from her back. The fresh-air filled the tender area's and made them sting, but besides that it was fine. Looking down at the coat she noticed it was damp from the wet potion of her fur, and maybe a -slight- residue of the blood. Whiping away the wet area's and the blood she spoke next. "Here, i dont want to ruin this. I appreciate the 'bandage', but ive also heard that fresh air tends to help new wounds." Nahira held out the coat in her hand and offered it to Saix.
"Besides, youll need a pillow when you sleep hmm?" She didnt forget he was tired.

He sighed a bit. "I don't know. I've seen Demyx fall before, and that wasn't very amusing at all. However I've seen someone get shoved into a wall so hard by a tidal wave that the wall cracked. That was fairly amusing. Not enough to make me laugh though." He thunked his head against the tree he was leaning against a few times trying to keep himself awake and maybe to help him think things a bit better. Given it wasn't the smartest plan, but it seemed to work.
Saix stood up and moved closer to Nahira, sitting next to her. "Well then how do you see it? If it wasn't to repay a debt then why? And why did you help me in the first place, did I look that pitiful?"
He looked to her as she offered him the coat. "Keep it, I won't be sleeping any time soon. Besides, after all you've been through today, you could use sleep more than I could. If you want...you can rest, I'll keep an ear open for whatever it is that changed you."

"You do realize thats unhealthy for you." She raised a brow as he thunked his head against the tree.
"Youll find your calling for when its right to laugh." Nahira shrugged her shoulders and left it at that.
Nahira didnt move as he sat next to her, though as he stated the comments she rolled her eyes and looked back up at the sky. "No, the question is, do we all have to have a reason to help each other? What if i said i -liked- you? Would that be reason enough? Or would it have to be something else?" Her tone suggested sarcasm, but in all truths... she was being dead serious.
"The way i see it, im not the one that is forcing myself to keep my eyes open." She gave him a sly expression with a slight purr on her tone. "Im tougher then i look you know. You can sleep, ill keep watch."

"First off, if you said you -liked- me, I'd call you crazy. I don't even like me. Though I guess you do have a point there...in a very awkward sort of way." Saix looked away from her at this point, not wanting to look at whatever truth her eyes may give away.
He grumbled. She was right...AGAIN! "Damn you...fine. Suit yourself. But keep the coat if you start bleeding badly again, I'll just...sleep sitting up. Oh if that voice comes back and gives you another pair of wings and two more tails while I'm asleep. It's your own damn fault." He hunched down, getting comfortable leaning against the tree and closing his eyes. He let out a slight yawn, trying not to draw any attention to it.
In a matter of moments he was sound asleep, snoring lightly.
