ashton scowled at the boy. "You're mean," he said, rubbing his hand. "No reason to hit me. All you had to do was ask," he muttered. Thorn smiled, showing fangs. "Yes...what is that? You seem oddly concerned about..." he said softly.

All traces of good humor fled from Howie's features and left him looking like exactly what he was - a scared, screwed-up and screwed-over, painfully thin boy. "Don't," he gasped, terrified of Koumori far more than he was of the large man threatening him. "It's all I have-" He reached out a hand, trying futiley to make a grab for the unimpressive, water-damaged book.

A strange look crossed Thorn's features at the words "it's all i have". He let go of the boy. A look of pain came and went in his eyes. "Serena..." he whispered. ashton looked up, eyes filling with tears at his mothers name. "I miss mama, daddy..." he said softly.

"What is it," repeated Koumori, narrowing her eyes mercilessly. "If it is so important, you might be willing to trade some information for it's safety."

Howie landed on his feet and was about to go after the book when the image of the blue flames Koumori had called up flickered through his head. Surely they hadn't been real, but... his finger still trobbed from the burn. She could destroy his book in a second. "I don't see how anything I know could be helpful to you," he whispered, defeated, "But I'll give you anything I can." He was blind to the father-son pair behind him. That book had seen him through the worst times of his life - he couldn't give it up.

Thorn smiled sadly and ruffled his sons hair. "So do I, Ashton," he said. Ashton sniffed and rubbed his eyes. Then, he went next to the lady holding the book. But not to close, just close enough to watch with wide eyes.
"I'm Thorn. you don't have to call me sir," Thorn said. Then he turned back, just watching over his son.

"There's a lot of different kinds of fae; they're pretty much different in each world. These ones are mostly similar to the faerie in the book about the flying children and the pirates; Something about someone named Peter, I think. They speak in the language of chimes, they look like small lights until you look close, and they are all very vain." Chantre finally answered. "However, almost all of them, the civilized ones anyway, have a single, multi-universal language, which I happen to be fluent in."

Haruko suddenly had a flash of pain in the back of his mind. He screamed a single name.
"ARISAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA--AUUUUUUUGH!!!" He fell to his knees, and clutched his head.
nezumi ran over to him. "Haruko! Haruko! What's happening?!"

"And who might be your employer? I am Chantre," added the changeling. "Wait-I think we're here!" They stopped in front of a clearing, where a slumped figure sat under a tree. Chantre ran across to the boy, joyful tears streaming down her cheeks, but still keeping check on the fae that struggled under her grip. "Rock!" she cried, shaking his shoulders. No answer. "Come on, let's go!" The boy drooped as she let go, and felled his head on the forest floor. "No... NO!! FAERIES! I WARNED YOU!!" she cried, and squeezed the poor thing in her hand. "Zzzzzsnyrx... sh... I dun' wanna go da school..." the boy sighed. Chantre froze in mid-throttle, and threw herself on her dozing friend. "ROCK!! You're alive!!" she shouted, then fell down in giggles. Rock opened one eye, stared at the hysterical changeling, then turned over, reaching for a non-existant pillow to pull over his head.

Nezumi looked desperately at Ashton.
"I.. I think he's dying!" Tears ran down her face.
haruko's face was a mask of pure anguish

Serlina had drawn her knife when Chantre started squeezing the fairy. When Rock turned out to be alive, she start to resheath it, then decided against it. Approaching Chantre, she looked around. "I think we should head back now, don't you?" she asked.
ashton fidgited, his uninjured wing twitching. "Can ashton help?" he asked.
Thorn followed his son. "Yes, is there anything we can do?" he asked, standing next to ashton.

Nezumi cried, and hugged haruko tightly, and tears continued to pour.
"I... I don't know... I didn't think it'd happen so soon..."
In her concern, she didn't notice her cheek touch his...

Thorn pulled his son back roughly. Something about this didn't quite set with him. ashton yelped at the rough treatment. "Daddy?" he asked tearfully, rubbing his shoulder. "Didn't think what would happen so soon?" Thorn asked gruffly.
