As the petal falls, Aid will be given

[Hikaru]

It had taken several weeks for Hikaru to cross the vast desert and reach his destination. Central City. He was lucky to hitch a ride from trader's and now he was in the home land of his mother. But before him he had arrived in an area that crawled in filth and people lay in the street's unable to care for themselves. His feet clacked along the street as he looked round the low town on central. The home of the poor, forgotten and forsaken.

He wanted to help. There were people who were wounded or dieing. They needed a healer. It took him several days but soon the small shack was made for him. After much talking he found people where quick to help when they realised his goal. Free treatment. People donated spare furniture and sheets. It didn't take long till the shabby clinic sat ready for help and a queue of people outside ready for help. Tying up the silk wings round his head and tying back his sleeves he went out and beckon the first few in. A child with a laceration to his side that was infected. Using herbs he had brought with him and some of his Alkhestry the child was on his way out with some ointment and instructions. Hikaru smiled. Finally he had use.

And she found herself in central, eventually and naturally. Naturally, for the north is the goal and aim and eventually, as she was making this long range sweep testing the waters, sniffing the air and hearing what was here and there. Days not long ago, she was at this bakery shop where she learned some interesting information that didn't get yet to the level of facts though she will accept everything just the way it is. However, upon arrival to central she found herself being followed and on the contrary to any other Kunoichi, she let herself followed seizing the opportunity with fullness.

She led them to an abandoned warehouse to court them the way she saw fit, her courtesy powered by curiosity payed off well. It came her to her knowledge by then that they were one and same who followed the late Shisu ken second in command. Upon very forceful, persuasive and intimidating techniques of questioning from those who survived her shadowy onslaught. It came to light that her predecessor managed to elusively run away and keep her tracks clean. Of course, the survivors didn't remain alive for long after...

Still, she acknowledged the fact that there were specialized squads trained to detain and neutralize oriental insurgents whether they are came from the south or the far east. So in central, more she decided not to linger. But not far away from the warehouse, a district that harbored those poor, forgotten and forsaken came to the sight of her disguised eye. A place to rest for a while indeed.

She was wounded, one of those fools who tried to capture her in his attempt of stabbing, he injured her left hand -as she blocked- piercing through. That maddened her to a greater extents and that one guilty of such disgraceful action against a true royalty served his sentence, for she shaved his neck severing the head from body. Usually she doesn't go that far as when she fights, she dances with elegance only filling her foes' nostrils a small bit of her deadly fragrance, deadly enough to kill.

She applied first aid and through the means of white sheets she stopped the bleeding but her wound to her mind with time complained, she needed to heal what was needed to be healed. And luck was an ally at her side as it guided her to someone who has knowledge in the ways wounds soothing and the lulling of bodily pains and complaints. Of course, unintended by her own side she stumbled into someone, that one has special features of blonde and gentleness of a woman though being male. Seeing his outfit, she decided to ask for his help as she thought to herself people of Aerugo should help each other in the times of need. She shall make sure to repay him later.

"Would you please bequeath your compassion over this afflicted and let the pain die and wither away" she would address like an burdened actress over the stage then she showed him the ailment in her left hand.

If he looked at her, he would see an hourglass skin girl with a late night hair with one of her eyes patched and the other remaining gleamed somehow red. Dressed in black school jacket beneath it a white shirt and at the top of it's neck, a ribbon was well tied. Down below, a long and loose skirt hid her legs and the socks that reached her knees. Down at the bottom, a classic leather feminine shoes would be seen. He wouldn't see any of her weapons as they were concealed, only her innocent peaceful looking parasol held by her right hand would be noticed.

[Hikaru]

He had been helping a girl with a nasty fracture and cut on his arm. He had given her some soothing tea to ease the pain and used his alkhestry to stitch the wound together. The cell's stitched back together in a soft light and glued back leaving no trace or scar. Smiling as a small boy pulled on his kimono his bright blue eyes connecting with Hikaru's Azure ones.

"Please can we have a story later?" Hikaru couldn't help but smile and nod. "Let me see to the other patients first and then we can sit round and share stories." The boy shuffled back to his mother who was heavily pregnant cuddling up with her swollen belly. Just as Shizuka entered.


"Would you please bequeath your compassion over this afflicted and let the pain die and wither away." His ear perked at the soft Aerugese voice. He at first wondered how she knew until he looked down and noticed his outfit. Chuckling softly to himself her turned and smiled.

"Do not fear my lady I will see to you now." Inspecting her wound he took her to a table and and gathered a bowl of warm water under her hand. Gently running the warm water over the wound to flush out any dirt or toxins before he gently padded it dry with a soft towel. "It's not deep....it won't take much to heal." In a quick movement he flicked the metal medical bracelet over and over half his hand so the cold metal sat on his fingers. Gently placing it over the wound a warm glow enveloped the limb spreading a tingling warm up her nerves as the wound moulded together and sealed like it had never been there in the first place. "There we go." He smiled softly.

Before he would tend to her wound, he was attending to someone else. A child heavily injured, that truth shined like the sun above them and was quite observed by Shizuka's disguised golden marbles. A wound cut open with the bones barely visible, this was an advanced stage of fracture where it should be treated within a hospital still the amestrian-looking dressed in a very traditional Aerugese garments proved her wrong as before her eyes, the wound was healed being stitched leaving no trace whatsoever behind.

The treated asked the healer for a story to be told but he the one who released the pain delayed the storytelling for the sake of the next patient that was Shizuka. The child returned to their mother who was pregnant. That's when he the blonde and long haired which some of it was visible under his headdress turned to her after the stage act.

After chuckling after this certain revelation that sparked in his mind, he reassured the disguised Kunoichi that would see to her and already commenced by inspecting the wound, cleaning it then wrapping it with a towel. Good news, the wound was superficial. He quickly let out a bracelet to his fingers directly over the wound where it glowed making it a bit hard for the eyes to see the skin growth and revival process but her nervous system reported back well transmitting this soothing feeling of warmth all along her organs to the mind.

And when the glowing ended and when her iris retracted and widened growing accustomed again to light, she found the wound to be completely healed. Shizuka folded the healed hand from a palm to fist then unfolded. Quite happy she was, for being able to use freely the wounded hand. Though, she found it strange for Aerugese Amestrian to heal a stranger without even asking from where she got the wound. It was obvious to a certain degree that it was a stab of sorts, a noble gesture indeed.

Domo arigatou gozaimasu. she bowed and said again in a very theatrical manner rotating around with her skirt like a flower blown by a slight breeze while intertwining her hands to be one for a plea when facing him

Ouji-sama, can you tell us a story?

OOC:

I know that you know but it must be done.

Domo arigatou gozaimasu: Thank you very much.
Ouji-sama: Prince

[Hikaru]

He blinked at the strange antics of this girl. Before he couldn't help but blush. "Prince...I'm not a prince...." He shook his head side to side. "Also...please if you can speak it speak Amestrian...it's rude to the others to speak a language they may not understand.." He spoke softly before moving to the circle of children waiting for him. Chuckling as one was staring at his hat in awe he removed it gently letting the long blonde hair cascade out and gently placed it on the child’s head much to the boy's amusement as he now had floaty wings.

Long blonde hair now around him like a golden river he taught for a second before smiling. "How about I tell you about the brave rabbit?" He smiled and closed his eyes for a brief moment taking in a breath. Before opening them.

"A rabbit and a tortoise decided to have a race to the top of the mountain. Everyone knew the rabbit would win but the rabbit was over confident and took a nap in the war sunlight. And as he awoke he found he had overslept and had lost the race."

He smiled softly gathering breath before continuing. "The rabbits from his home were angry and disgraced by his actions so banished him. As he left to find a new home he overheard birds twittering about a dreadful wolf who prayed on the village demanding that 3 females rabbits be brought to him or he would kill every rabbit in the village. Racing home he bargained with his village. If he could get rid of the wolf he would be allowed to live there once more."

" Heading to the wolf's home on the mountain top. He called out to the ferocious wolf. Mr wolf I have brought the three female rabbit here. But they where so frightened of your face they could not come no further. could you look down to the valley below the mountain while I bring them closer? The wolf agreed and turned looking out to the grassy valleys below. The rabbit crept up on the wolf and pushed him off the edge to plummet to his death below. He returned to the village and lived happily ever after."

Ah, men when they blush. Regardless, he was very considerate of those who were around them for they were mostly amestrians, add to them he the half-blood and she the royal one. Of course, there was a reason why she spoke in Aerugese. It was because the blue amestrian eluded her and didn't have a full grasp of such subject and account. The healer would have to endure her broken amestrian by then for she was still a child when it comes to the native tongue of the aryan blood.

She sat beside them, children of this district, on the tops of the feet flat on the cold ground, and sitting on the soles. Sitting sieza was her specialty thanks to her many hobbies that needed such posture so it came very natural. Her disguised eyes in red observed the young children eyes glimmering and shimmering like the pure sea water reflecting sun of mid-noon in their anticipation. Indeed, stories had there allure and charm, anyone want to hear stories, fragile creatures and old ones. However any story told didn't depend on context alone but too on the story teller.

The story he told, she read too long time ago, giving her the sense of deja vu. She didn't hear it, she just read it and there was a great difference between the two. So it was indeed quite the treat for the ears to hear and certainly he had the talent of story telling, she wondered from where he learned that?

Regardless, there this wisdom to behold despite the simplicity of the setting. Never be lazy, do your homework day by day and never be late but if someone would fail people expectations, it didn't mean the end of the world. There are always other opportunities , there is always a second chance since after all death didn't yet come and all what was needed to subtly grasp it and with fullness make use of it.

But mischievous she was, that forged blade of Aerugo in the prime of her age tends to nibble those who were around her and she would start with the story teller. In her usual broken amestrian reeking in xingese.

STUPID...MR.WOLf...IS...STUPID she paused for a second "He..first..eat..rabbit" adding up later "Evil..is..gud"

[Hikaru]

Hikaru blinked as slowly stood taking his hat gently back from the child who was wearing it. Somehow in seconds he had replace it back on his head with his long hair tucked neatly under it's top and silk wings. This girl was very odd. He was about to speak when the door was thrown open banging on the side of the shack with a loud crash. "Help is the healer here?" A panicked voice cried out. "My mother is in labour! She's already lost her last child please help!" The young girl sobbed leading a heavily pregnant woman in.

Hikaru didn't falter or wait. He walked over on his long geta's as graceful as a stag and lead the woman over to a bed in the far corner laying her down. The curtain zipped forward and he set to work. Ready for the many gruelling hour's he would not rest until this woman was sat happy with a healthy baby in her arms. Getting some herbs to mix a pain killing brother and tieing back his sleeves and the silk wings. He pounded the herbs and mixed them with boiling water to make a tea. Letting it cool he offered it to the woman to drink. "It will ease the pain.." He spoke softly and set to work. This would be a long night in which he would no longer be able to afford distraction.

She was completely ignored. How heart breaking and how quite rude! the doctor apparently used to heal those physical wounds yet it seemed to her he wasn't accustomed to heal the hidden ones. Regardless, his actions would break a maiden heart however Shizuka is indeed a maiden but with no heart. So what ever he did had no effect at all, actually he was being very nice to those stricken with illness which was very admirable. He wouldn't notice her look at him as he went where he went to tend to his patients but if had looked back, he would have seen a very innocent smile that hid a greater mischief. Yes, no one runs away and break lose from her nibbling and abuse.

They are bound to meet again and she will show him how tomboy she is. Regardless, she would return back to Aerugo rather than pushing up to the north where she would dig in first about who was really the silver haired girl dressed in maid outfit.

Back in her homeland, she would find answers to her questions, answers that would uplift the veil and shed some light upon this mystery.
