"Yup. He's always doing that. Quite annoying really." Wren answered shortly, continuing with his basic check of Skye's reflexes and to see if he was still moving right. After Skye reflexively hit Wren across the face, not enough that Wren moved in the slightest but that it hurt, he stepped back. Lightly fingering his now red cheek, which would soon have an impressive bruise, he determined that there wasn't anything visibly wrong with him, nor were his movements hindered. All in all, nothing that Wren could find out and therefor could do something about. So only time would tell if the injection did something other then what it was supposed to the young boy, who was looking incredibly confused. Skye stood as well, which given that he was hardly that tall didn't make much difference, lightly touching the forming bruise on Wren's face. When his fingers touched the skin, they both reacted explosively. The two boys stepped back so quickly with surprised and startled looks that they nearly tripped, both the dazed boy and Wren alike. Then, after a slow moment, Wren turned to Ari but offered no explanation for what had just happened. Making his breath slow and relax, trying to make himself not tense, he answered the question as if nothing had happened. "I doubt it, since it's from his mind being cleared out. Stopping that would probably stop the injection from working, even if I knew what to give him." Looking away again, then at Skye, who wasn't in any shape to calm himself, his blank eyes wide. Who knew just a touch could do that, but given what the two boys had gone through the past seven years, just the faint memory would be enough to cause such a reaction. Wren had done the same as him, after all. Yawning slightly both out of tiredness and an attempt to make himself relax, he quietly told Skye, in German of course, to relax as well, that nothing ha happened. As always offering no translation, Wren sat back down onto the sofa with another, less-contained yawn, on the opposite side that Skye was on as not to scare him further. "I need sleep. Haven't slept for about two days now. Think you can watch him for a few hours after I give him the next thing of meds?" Wren asked tiredly, not liking the idea of leaving anything to Ari, but well aware he would collapse at that rate.

Ari didn't actually think it was annoying. He could understand the wanting to be in the center of the universe. Or at least your universe. Ari watched confusedly as Wren kept doing his odd little....tests for whatever on Skye. A sudden burst of laughter erupted from him when he saw Skye hit Wren on across the face. He attempted to contain the small giggle fit that came after words, and just stared at Wren as he stepped back and lightly touched his cheek. Ari bit down on his lip but still couldn't keep from laughing. He didn't know what that was so funny. It just was. "I really think you should continue doing those little tests." He then told Wren, trying very hard at an attempt to be serious and have a serious look on his face and tone to his voice. Which was failing quite miserably. He watched as Skye stood too before reaching out and touching Wren's face. Ari saw nothing wrong with that, before suddenly they both had sudden attacks. Ari of course stepped closer to Skye, not about to let him fall or trip, with himself ready to quickly catch or hold the boy if needed. However, nothing happened and Ari saw Wren turn to him, looking as though he were forcing himself to relax. Which he was. It was slightly amusing to Ari, so he just pasted a small smirk on his face. Although if he thought about it, they had good reason for doing that considering their pasts. Ari nodded as the other Lithius spoke. "Ok." Was his simple answer, before he also turned back to Skye. Poor boy looked scared half to death. He heard Wren mutter something in German, and Ari shot him a faintly annoyed look. Why did he keep doing that? Of course it was to annoy him. But still...it was....annoying. He then saw Wren give a yawn, before sitting down and giving another yawn. "Of course." Ari replied with a slight sigh. He had been watching the boy for quite a while now, and yes Wren had for longer, but still. "And I know. Get you if something happens, all that stuff." Ari said quickly before Wren would be able to, if he had even been going to.

Wren grimaced as Ari laughed, his hand still on his hurting cheek. Even when not trying, Skye was strong, and the blow hurt. Already the skin was beginning to turn black and purple, forming a large and impressive bruise. The urge to hit Skye back was incredible, just because of instinct. Naturally, he didn't, knowing it wasn't the young boy's fault. Still... he wanted too. Like previously said, it was instinct for both of them, and it was hard not to want to send Skye flying. "Note to self: even like this he reacts normally. Joy." Wren muttered more to himself then Ari, yawning for a third time. Damn. Forty hours without sleep was making it hard to think straight. As someone said in some paper, after thirty-five hours of no sleep, every hours was like getting more and more drunk. And it had been nicely longer then that for Wren, who was beginning to see the point of that paper. Still, he had to get the next batch of meds into Skye before he could catch a few hours of sleep at last. "Good to hear. I need sleep. Try to calm him or something, cause I'm about to traumatize him again." With that, Wren made himself stand, and exit the room. Skye's gaze followed him, but made no move to get up, before looking up at Ari in confusion. Headache+unexplained violent reaction+Wren vanishing+just about everything=confusion. "Why...?" Was all he said, no indication of what he was trying to ask. Skye could have meant just about anything, as he failed to understand everything that occurred. The dazed boy wasn't really expecting an answer, so as usual his face quickly blanked as he settled back into the void. In the other room, Wren was attempting to read the labels on the various medicine bottles, which for right then might as well have been in Spanish. He never really learned to read very well either, having ended schooling once bitten. Groaning, he grabbed the ones he knew he would need, and a small water bottle. Draining the bottle, he put in a few tablespoons of a liquid medicine, and two pills. Looking at the concoction with a sick expression, no clue at all as to how he would get Skye to drink that, he hastily shoved it into a pocket. Grabbing the label off one of the bottles and holding it tightly in a hand, he reappeared into the room where Ari and Skye were, walking right up to Ari with an annoyed huff. Holding out the label, making sure his voice had no tone, he flatly asked: "what does that say?" He knew it was something about age and how many of the pills should be taken for children of what ages, etc. He did need Ari to check, as he did not want to overdose the young boy. But it was written in what Wren called 'higher English', meaning medical, and Wren had not gone to enough school to be able to read that, even if he wasn't as tired as he was. So sadly it was up to Ari to tell him.

Ari's laughing quickly faded as he took a closer look at Wren's face. Ouch. But just when it had happened...it was funny. Just seeing Skye randomly smack someone across the face was just...amusing. Not so much randomly...but it was still amusing no matter. He saw Wren grimace, which also had put an end to his laughing. Ari himself would have wanted to hit Skye in return as well. He sent a hard look over at Wren, pretty much reading his mind. No. If Wren laid one finger on Skye like that Ari would have a major fit. True...not long ago he had been the one raking a claw across the younger boy's chest....but...Ari gave another amused laugh as Wren gave himself a note to self. He didn't always react normally. Like...Skye had just held his hand....and...he had chased a butterfly...but then again smacking someone across the face was a tad different. Ari smiled softly at Wren as he yawned again. Something about that was cute. Why was everything that happened so 'cute' to him? He was weird... Ari gave a nod as he said that he needed sleep. Yes. He sure did. Ari then frowned slightly as Wren told him to keep Skye calm. Way easier said than done. Ari's gaze also followed Wren before flicking over to Skye to see him looking confused. Such a surprise. Ari just gave a soft smile at the younger Lithius, not bothering to say anything for the usually reasons. Plus the question didn't exactly....make sense. Why what? So many things that could be a why. But then his face blanked over, and Ari just shrugged it away. He could hear faint sounds of Wren doing something...whatever he was doing. Ari then watched as Wren reappeared with something in his hand, and he walked right up to him holding it out. Ari looked at Wren for a moment before gently grabbing it out of his hand and nodding. His eyes flicked over the label several times before looking at Wren. "Skye's fifteen right?" Ari didn't wait for an answer, because he already knew his love's age. He had just been asking because...well really no reason. He looked over the label again. "Um...let's see...Age fifteen...of these he shouldn't take more than two at a time." Ari looked at Wren feeling slightly bad for him. He couldn't read. He hadn't finished schooling, because of Adelle. Ari then held the label out for him his eyes going to the boy's cheek. With his free hand he reached over, doing the very thing he knew he shouldn't do but for some reason...did, and very gently touched it. Wow. Yup. Now he felt bad for laughing.

( Sorry it took so long, guys... I had a migraine for the past couple hours, and I was napping... )

Lizabelle
Elizzabeth replied with a short, 'your welcome,' though she didn't come out. Lizzie gave a one-shouldered shrug, figuring she was busy with paperwork. Lizzie felt Ivy twine their fingers together once more, and she held onto her hand happily. " Fine. " she giggled softly, gently tugging her toward the door, then out into the bone-chilling cold. She shivered slightly, reaching up with her free hand to pull her violet hood up.

Tyler
Ty looked back to Adelle, his violet eyes hardening, his lips pulling down into a frown. He stepped toward them again, his towering height now becoming more apparent. Of course, he was still just waiting for Michael to poof in front of him in a cloud of Wizard's Dust and attack him. He looked at Mark, watching and listening quietly as he and Adelle spoke to each other, seeming to completely ignore him. Ty's tail twitched inside the cover of the thick, black cloak he wore. He was eager to be closer to the human boy, continue toying with his mind... And, of course, prove Michael unworthy of this boy's love, and prove himself worthy of it. What a wonderful plan. ^-^

~Ivy~

Ivy giggled softly and followed Liz. The change in air temperature was so extreme, it was as of someone had dunked her in a bucket full of dry ice. Hastily, she flipped up the hood of her velvet black cloak with her free hand, squeezing Lizzie's hand lightly and smirking. "Good." she answered. "It shouldn't take too long to get there, I don't believe..." she said, glancing up at the sky. The stars twinkled like Christmas lights, and the moon was like a giant crystal ball. She adored the night.

Wren was not in a good mood. He merely rolled his eyes as Ari glared at him; he wouldn't hit Skye back while the young boy was dazed as he was, however tempting it might be. And if he did, honestly, what could Ari do to stop him, or do in retaliation?They would probably go to the same conclusion; nothing. So Wren wasn't feeling threatened in the slightest, and was left muttering curses to himself about his hurting cheek. When Ari asked about Skye's age, Wren almost answered, but hastily realized that the boy was well aware of how old his love was, and remained silent. How the insane boy had ended up with two of this victims caring about him the world would never know, and Wren didn't understand it himself in the slightest. Not saying anything or letting any emotion show on his face when Ari handed back the label, he nodded shortly. His poor reading ability was a touchy subject, but not one that mattered during his years with Skye. As the young Lithius couldn't read or write at all, neither of them pondered it much. But Ari had more then a few more years of schooling then he had, and it wasn't something Wren wasn't slightly humiliated by. Nothing he could do about that though, and Wren would never waste the time to learn. Normally what he could make out was enough, even if his vocabulary was crap. If comparison to Skye, he was a genius in that area.
His thoughts were very abruptly cut off when he felt Ari's touch on his quickly-bruising face. Wren reacted instantly, snatching Ari;s wrist with a hand and twisting, realizing what he was doing a few seconds later. Letting go of the arm, Wren just gave him a glare, before turning so that he still faced Ari but his back was to Skye. He pulled out the bottle that the meds were in, quickly unscrewing it and popping another pill from his pocket in, before tightening the cap again. Looking back up to meet Ari's gaze, he quickly explained. "I'm going to have to make him swallow this. Just keep him from running out of the room, kay?" That was all he said, slipping the bottle back into a pocked before turning to the now quite confused Skye, who had been staring at them dazedly. Sitting next to the boy, he groaned quietly, not liking the idea of what he was going to have to do in a moment. Giving Ari a very sharp look that clearly said 'get in my way and I will kill you', he gently took Skye's wrist in his hand, which made him struggle halfheartedly. Now he just needed to...Wren didn't like the idea of having to hurt little Skye, but there wasn't another way. How enjoyable life was.
