The notice came again…. Followed by another one slightly deeper. It came at such a strange part in his dream that even Killian could not sleep thought it. Opening his eyes half way he sat up with another grown one hand went to his hair though it didn’t do anything but make it more disheveled as he tried to rub the sleep from his eyes.
He turned his head slowly in the direction of the noise, but it had stopped and so with another grown he moved his legs again and pulling more blankets to the foot of the bed snuggled back into them and into sleep his black to the source of the noise… what ever it might have been.

Seeing Killian’s eyes open slightly, Apri froze without thinking. Holding her breath like a child who was trying to hide, she waited for him to moan and close his eyes again, turning his back to her. Letting her breath out, she picked up her right foot. Turning it over, she examined it carefully before putting it down on its side and picking up the other one. They didn’t seem too bad, it just simply hurt!
Sighing, she looked over at the wardrobe where her clothes lay then over to where the washroom door was open. She didn’t really want to go thru the pain of getting dressed. Deciding against it, she turned back to the bed and gingerly climbed back onto it. Rolling so that she laid on her stomach, she kicked her feet up into the air.
Resting her head in her hand and propping it up with her elbow, she contemplated the sleeping man before her for a moment. If he was going to stay asleep, it was going to be a long morning. She had noticed how much of the morning she was able to work on her own personal things, but it hadn’t crossed her mind until now that it was simply because he was too busy sleeping…
Well that just wasn’t going to do.
Reaching behind her, she grabbed a pillow and pulled it closer to her. Getting a better hold of it, she threw it at him…

He had just opened his mouth in a wide yawn turning his head back the way it was when something hit him full in the face. Somehow… by some miracle… he still did not wake up… but that didn’t mean his body didn’t react.
Killian caught the pillow, then quickly through it back to where ever it had just come from, but the force of his own thought and the fact that he was half on the ground and half on the bed already made him fall completely to the ground. Luckily for him he took the blankets with him though they again put up an unexpected resistance.
“ow…” his hands went back to his face as he was half awake now… but didn’t want to be. So with another grown and a scowl he pulled more blankets down to the ground bunching them up around his face and head trying to go back to sleep.

The last thing Apri had expected was for the pillow to be thrown back at her. Ducking, it whizzed over her head and landed at her side. Turning to look at the pillow puzzled, she was yet again caught by surprised at the unexpected tug on the blanket. Finding herself slid to the edge of the bed, she had just enough time to look down at Killian as he grabbed the blanket again… She let out a half scream.
Finding herself falling, there was nothing she could to do stop herself as she landed heavily on top of the blind man who seemed to be doing everything in his power not to wake up. Well… it served him right.

Killian was happily drifting back into a comfortable sleep now that he was laying down and not sitting down when he was completely and very rudely awakened by a heavy weight falling directly on him.
Blankest went flying. Killian struggled to get up though his hands where still stuck in the sheets as he half crawled half rolled away from the thing that had hit him. “What! Who haw…” he was it a nearing position again holding the blankets to his neck as though to hind himself from the neck down (he normally slept topless) “who is it! Bertain?!” no his room mate new better then to wake him up but he was still out of it as his hand went back to his face running his fingers though his hair and messing it up more. “what did I do…?”

Killian was not the only one to jump away after the collision. Apri jumped to her feet only to quickly fall off of them again, but much farther away from the man this time. Picking up a foot, she bit her lip against the pain as she looked at it. The fragile scabs had been broken, but the bleeding was no where near as extensive as it had been the night before.
Hearing Killian’s exclamation, she couldn’t help but want to throw a pillow at him again. He really needed to wake up…
“Killian…” she said, almost stern fully although the disheveled look he wore made a half smile form on her lips. “Its me… Apri...”

“Hmmmm?” Killian rubbed his face again trying to think then it all came back to him in one mighty blow and he fell straight back to the ground. Lying on his back and covering his face he groaned, “oh Apricus…I’m so sorry… what did I do? I didn’t hit you did I? I um… am not a morning person…”
he sat back up slowly running both hands though his hair trying to brush it back just a bit. She was stern but didn’t seem mad… he just hoped she wasn’t mad it was to early for her to be mad at him perhaps latter in the day when he could realize what he did but until then he just hoped she wasn’t angry but then again… “Apricus… why are you in my room?” he had dreamed many things that night one of which had him returning to his room, and he was still trying to sort thought what was dream and what had really happened that night… he needed klah…

Apri’s eyes opened wide as the man fell straight to his back, letting a thud echo to her ears. Hearing his admittance about not being a morning person, she found herself a little exasperated. “So I’ve noticed…”
Watching him sit back up, she was slightly taken aback by his next question. His room? Since when was this his room? Last she knew it was hers, at least it had been since they had gotten here to Ista…
“Umm… Killian… I think this is my room…”

Killian arched an eyebrow at the woman before his face visibly paled and he stood fast enough to make his head spin. “I’m sorry Umm” he spun on the spot for a moment before stopping and grabbing his head getting his bearings again. He reached out for something… finding the bed and feeling the corners found out exactly where in the room he was.
“klah… I need klah… do you want some?” he turned in her direction looking over her head before he remembered her feet. “You… How are your feet? Get back into bed you shouldn’t be walking… I’ll… I’ll go get some klah…” he was out of it but was slowly regaining control of his tired mind as he sorted through dreams and reality. Standing straight he breathed deeply gaining more control as he spoke again, slower and calmer. “I’m sorry Apricus… would you like me to get you some klah?”

Seeing him move toward the corner of the bed, she slid away from it careful not to use her feet. He seemed so disoriented, it wasn’t like him and Apri couldn’t help find uneasiness in it. She did not like the idea of the man who knew his way around so well he didn’t seem blind suddenly having lost his ‘sight’ again.
“Klah would be nice… thank you…” she answered still sitting on the floor. Apri found herself wondering if he even realized that he had literally pulled her off the bed, but realized from his previous questions that he didn’t. She decided it was necessary to tell him.

Killian found direction in his new purpose, get klah then figure out what in thread he was going to do… finding a bit of his old self he smiled and bowed slightly before heading for the door. It wasn’t until he got half way there that he realized that he did not have his stick… but that didn’t matter he knew his way by now. He reached for the door, grabbed the handle as though he could see it and pulled it open to revile Vinrin standing on the other side pot of steaming klah in one hand wile the other reached out for the handle from the other side. It was the blast of perfume that came with his brother’s presents that stopped Killian in his traces and crossed the blood to drain form his face…not now… why now…
“Ah Kil Kil how gentlemen of you to open the door for a lady.” Vinrin smiled patting Killian on the cheek before walking past him and into the room. As he drew level with the still stunned Harper he dropped on hand to smack Killian square on the butt waking him up from what he would later call his nightmare. Vinrin pained no attention to his jumping brother moving straight over to Apricus but stopping a couple of yards away. “Good morning Apritus,” “Apricus” “I hope you slept well?” he looked her over before spinning around quickly almost spilling the klah to put his hands on his hips and glare at his brother. “What are you doing in here Killian this is a girls room?” (it had just hit him that Killian had opened the door.) “You weren’t trying to sneak a peak at our cute little Apritus where you!?”
Killian was too stunned by this statement that he didn’t even bother to correct his brothers miss of her name, instead he gaped at him like a fish on dry land, but Vinrin wasn’t done talking, “what a bad boy Kil Kil, and a girl?” he shuttered visibly then turned his head to Apricus, “no offence my dear but… ew.” He moved back to Killian finally setting the Klah down on the ground before moving to his brother and spinning him around pushing him out of the room. “Now you go back to your own room and get dressed, leave this little flower to her own morning activities.” With Killian pushed out of the room Vinrin closed the door with a loud ‘click’ before spinning back to Apricus. “So my dear what color do you want to where to day? I have five more dresses I’m just dieing to see you in.”

Killian’s jaw was not the only one to go slack as Vinrin was found at the door. Apri’s quickly closed, however, as the man/woman’s hand landed square on Killian’s behind. Hearing him reprimand Killian, she couldn’t help but feel a blush warm her face. Did Vinrin not notice that Killian wouldn’t have been able to see anything even if he wanted. But Apri did find some truth in Vinrin’s words...
As Vinrin neatly pushed Killian from the room before the grey-haired man could object, Apri quickly climbed her way back onto the bed. Something about her being on the floor just wasn’t right, although the idea of her being on a bed with a man in the room, even a she/man, made her slightly uneasy. It was, however, better than staying on the floor.
“I… Five?!?... Oh Vinrin… I really don’t feel right taking so many new clothes from you without paying you…”

Vinrin dismissed the objections with a wave of his hand as he moved purposefully towards the closet where he had hung three of the five dresses wile she was gone the other day. He would have had her try them on then and was quite disappointed that she was not there but he failed to mention that as he pulled out a burgundy, a violet and a deep blue dress laying them out on the foot of the bed and stepping back hands on hips again.
“Now don’t be silly Apritus you don’t have to pay for anything… but.” He finally looked up and saw the expression on her face; “if you don’t want to take them you don’t have to…” he seemed a little disappointed but perked up immediately holding one finger in the air, “I’ll just have Killian take them! Yes yes that way he can pay me latter and you two can share! I’ve always wanted to see that purity face of his in a dress…” he giggled and clapped his hands picking up the burgundy dress again and holding it out to Apricus, “but I know he will look good in these, with that splendid hair and dark eyes I don’t have to worry about any colors clashing but you my dear need to try these on. I’ll just go check on my dear brother wile you change.” He tilted his head still smiling expectedly until took the dress.
***
Back in the hall Killian still hand his hand out as it had bin when he held the door handle, he didn’t know what to think… didn’t even get any Klah… “bed… back to bed… must be sleeping…” moving stiffly he went into his own room from the hall and striping off his shirt he collapsed onto the bed.
Vinrin… what was he going to do with that man… woman… thing… he ground rolling over and sitting back up, there was no way he was going to get to sleep again so instead he went into his wash room and proceeded to douse his face and head in cold water waking him up further.

Apri simply looked at the dresses knowing very well Vinrin would demand her to put one of them on as he continued talking. Hearing him mention Killian in a dress, she instantly winced however. Killian… In a dress… Was Vinrin attempting to turn him into a man/woman?
“Oh please Vinrin… Don’t put Killian in a dress…” she said as she took the burgundy on from his hands, careful as always not to touch.

Vinrin had dropped the dress the moment her fingers had touched the cloth placing his hand in front of his mouth and giggling, “he dose look best in a good pair of tight pants doesn’t he…” Vinrin considered this rubbing his chin and tilting his head to look at the selling, “your right I think I like him better in mans cloths… but then again… I like men out of men’s clothes too.” he grinned evilly at the thought then spun around picking up the klah and heading for Killian’s door. He stopped there looking over his shoulder at Apricus. “But if it means you taking my gifts then I will just have to insist on Killian taking them. Then he can pay me for them, family prices of course, and you can pay him back when you get it, either way they are going back with you to the Hall so no arguing.” He shook his finger at the girl before throwing the door open and marching though to Killians room.
“Oh Kil Kil… where did you go? Oh there you are!” Splash sputter splash. “Vinrin! Don’t you know how to knock!” “Why would I have to knock its not like you have anything I haven’t seen already…” “That is not the point! Did you at least close the door to Apricus’s room?” “Um…” Killian growled but said nothing as he stomped to the still open door and closed it. Vinrin had followed him however and though he did not reopen the door he did shout though it. “Just haler when you’re done Apritus,” “ApriCus her name is Apricus!” Vinrin just giggled.
