"Is she... Ok?" Valen dinally asked. "Lily?" He said lookig over. "Is Aza alright?"

"Y-yeah...she is" she said, her eyes only shining lightly. She kept looking at Aza, her face still pale, and she felt horrible...but that didn't make her soft smile escape her lips.

"I'm so sorry Lily... I shouldn't have distracted you... I should have just gone on home." He felt horrible over the whole thing.

"N-no! No, it's fine. It's my fault, really...heheh...not the first time this has happened..." Lily said, looking straight at Valen immediately. "Please, don't blame yourself. I should've gone to give her the spell before I left...even if she was mad or not..."

"The only reason you left was to show me around," he reminded her.

"Y-y-yeah! But that's...that's not..." Lily could feel her words stuck in her throat. And now she felt horrible...horrible in every single way. Her eyes became dull like before, and her grip of Aza became tighter as if she were to disappear if she did as much as loosen her grip. 'Dammit! Why today? Why why why today??' she thought. "it...it...it would've happened if you were here or not..." she bit her lip, "if I had even went out to get herbs, or to help out someone at their home, or anything, it would've happened anyway. It's happened plenty of times before. Aza has even lost control, complete and utter control, stuck in her room after getting mad at me for saying something"

Valen saw her eyes change and he regreted even saying anything. "I'm sorry Lily... I just feel bad. I didn't mean to upset you." He hung his head and walked over beside her. He looked at Aza and then at Lily. "Like I said... I bet one day you cure her for good." He tried to change the topic to something more positive.

Braux composed himself before answering. "We are trying to find a place to start over, but we've already been kicked out of three shops thanks to these two." he sighed. "I was hoping by the time we arrived, they would have some restraint to their need to wrestle." Usually one starts it and it escalates further. Admittedly he was getting wore out from it.

"Oh...if you all needed a place to stay why didn't you all come to the clinic? The clinic is also the welcome center for new people...there are plenty of houses in the area without owners. I can get you all a place to live in no time! And trust me, those two fighting isn't anything new around here, there are plenty of fights from even partners and friends here. And what shops were you all kicked out of? I can go and explain everything!" Lily said, "You three helped my sister so I'm going to help you. And it's also apart of my job...to help out all new people in the village."

"It would be appreciated, though the deli managers are not at fault. These two just have a hard time sitting still and being good in public." He said that last part pointed at them as they started to mess with each other again. "They don't hate each other, their beastial forms are of a basic cat and his is basically dog so..." Braux pinched the brim of his nose. "As far as the clinic goes, I try to avoid buildings as much as possible with these two, unless it's to eat."

"Well, the clinic's had worse. Trust me" she smiled, "it is the clinic after all...of course more than fighting has ever happened there. I'd like you all to at least try to visit the clinic if you all have any issues, either one or the both of us with greet you." Lily almost giggled, patting Aza on the back lightly. "I know just the place for you all! I'll lead you right to it." her smiled grew into a soft and warm one, whilst her violet eyes glowed a soft hue of lavender.

"Really?!" Zelph yelled happily. "A place for us?" They had been on the road for about 2 years now, sleeping mainly outside and having to cook whatever game they hunted down. Braux looked at Zelph and Diaze and his gaze lightened. Diaze had a small smile almost hidden completely by his hair. "Bathes...warm-...no hot bathes." Zelph muttered gleefully. Braux looked back on the girl, his face was expressionless like most of the time, but his sky blue eyes were portraying his feelings loudly enough.
Bed.
Books.
Bathes.
Food!
Silence! the voices were excited, but they carmed down.

Lily giggled, nodding her head as a blush dusted her features ever so lightly. "Yeah! Come along" she then turned and walked away from the field, on the path and back onto the main path going through the entire village. "It's
the least I could do than let you go into one of the inns further down into the village! Those inns are a bit troublesome, if you ask me, spent a night at one with a patient who couldn't move from the bed at the moment, they're pretty unorganized..."

(Is this still open?)

(Why yes this is!!)

A large tomb lies in the golden forest, it's graveyard now overgrown and the entrance covered in vines and moss. Not to mention it's half buried in the ground, and the road which once lead to it has been eroded by time. Inside lay multiple coffins, and sealed shelves filled with the sleeping dead from an age long past. In the middle of the tomb lies a large wolven gargoyle which looks as if it is sleeping. With worn books and scrolls strewn about the place with no rhyme or reason.

That is no mere gargoyle. Furorem's eyes and heart spark to life once more, after quite a long rest after a previous venture, which he only remembers some of. The golem gets up off the ground, giving a low growl, from the unpleasant feeling of finally waking up. He claws his way through the vines and dirt and makes his way to the surface. "Golden trees... hmm." He is a bit perplexed by their strange color, but nonetheless. He makes his way out of the forest. Well, partially. He spots the town, and sticks to the treeline, trying not to be seen by the folk. "Good, a town. I'll have to see if there's a library when night comes..."

If the tomb he is staying in is going to be his home for now, he might as well snatch a few stories from the library to keep him entertained. After all, they're just books and scrolls, who cares if they get stolen?

Is it best to be put in an upscale inn where everything was taken care of? The other inns would've already been in a mess. He stayed silent as they walked, but Zelph and Diaze rushed ahead. They were just happy to be moving again, "I'm gonna beat you there!" yelled Zelph gleefully. "You don't even know where it is you dumb nut." Diaze yelled, following her closely. Braux opened his mouth to tell them to stop, but they had already gotten too far ahead. They always stayed in his sight however, and as long as they did he was okay.

With a heavy sigh Braux looked down and adjusted his glasses. He stayed silent for a moment before speaking to her," Is it okay to be put in a kind of inn that is organized than one that isn't? And mostly for us and not for other...calmer guests?" that still bothered him. He didn't want Zelph and Diaze to cause anymore damage to this town. Of they could stay here for a while and get a good rest, and even use the library for once, that would make him joyfully happy.

Lily held Aza close, smiling softly at the two as they ran. She raised a brow before glancing at Braux, giggling lightly, "Oh, no no. Unless you mean the mental ward in the clinic, I'd gladly take these two in" she laughed lightly, her cheeks rosy as her usual cheery smile graced her lips, before clearing her throat. "I'm giving you all a place to live, a home, a house. It's your own space, hell I have a perfect house that turns out to be 3 connected, I can give you that so they also have their own space." she smiled, "This village...is full of fellows like those two, honestly. I mean, when there's over 50 species living in one small-ish space, you're gonna have people like that who fight each other just to fight, or because it's their way of showing they care for one another. I've treated patients like that a lot" she looked at Braux with a large smile.

"The village has seriously had worse than them. Trust me. A dragon hybrid, with some kind of youkai...the cafe was burnt down twice and one of the inns exploded, don't ask me how.." she said, sighing as a sweatdrop rolled down her forehead before nervously chuckling lightly. "This house...is your place, and if you're the kind to travel around then you got a place to stay at when you stop on by here again or something."

Braux stopped abruptly. A house? his hand covered his forehead and a actual real smile crossed his face. Zelph and Diaze came rolling back in a cloud of dust, but the sight before them made them freeze. Braux never smiles... they looked at her like she was a hero- no a God. "W-what did you say to him?" Zelph stuttered in amazement and Diaze stood there with his mouth slightly open. Braux raised his head up at the two, his face light and almost looked as if a tear would escape down his face. "We...we are getting house." his hand ran through his pink hair. Zelph looked at Diaze with a shrug, and Diaze spoke. "So...why is that good?" Braux looked at him with an exasperated exspression. "It will be our house and We will have our own rooms." he explained with a huff. Zelph looked between Lily and Braux and if not for Aza, she would have tackled her with a hug. Diaze's smile showed his handsome features, not being covered by his onyx hair. "Lets go! Let's go! LETS GO!" whooped Zelph.

Lily giggled loudly, her eyes shimmering greatly as she then started to lead them down a path of different homes and houses, glancing back at them all with pink dusted cheeks. She then lead them down a gravel path that split off of the main road on the right, and then a large house came to view. It was a beautiful home, a 3 story, 4 bedroom 2 bathroom house. "So, how do you all like it?" (describe it anyway you want/suitable for your characters)
