| Continued from here...Ceo would make it back to the hotel before Gemini. She hadn't wanted to expend energy trying not to drop the groceries while running back, even if she could do it. As they made their way past Alma in the lobby, Gemini greeted the woman and apologized for her hasty exit from earlier. Afterward, she made her way directly to the room where Ceo should have been waiting. "I'm going to take a shower. Can you put the food away please?" She asked as she entered the room. | |

| Ceodore arrived at the hotel with excitement and in a brisk pace. He beat Gemini to the hotel, though he could tell that the young woman wasn't going at her fullest. That reminded him of the fact that she was one who conserved energy just in case it was ever needed. Because of remembering that, Ceo started to break into a sweat, forgetting that his body was still recovering from his accident. Alma, however, snapped him out of his sudden tired state when she surprised him with a yell.
She told him to stop running in the lobby because it was dangerous. He apologized for it, and continued up to the room. He always made sure to check behind him to, making sure that Gemini hadn't fallen behind when it came to their little race. Every time she was in sight, he'd smile and continued onward. Once at the hotel room door, Ceodore would open it, and went in. Gemini followed in soon after with the rest of the groceries.
"Whew! Looks like I won!" He'd announce, chuckling to himself and watching as Gemini walked on in without breaking a single sweat. She wanted him to put the groceries away while she went to shower.
"Sure thing. I'll just be lazing about while you do." Ceodore said casually, taking the groceries, and placing them into the fridge. Once he was done, he'd go over to the bed and flopped onto it. The man remembered that he still had the tobacco and pulled his kiseru out from coat. He'd then untie his mask with a hand and placed it on the nightstand next to him. His hair fell over his eyes lazily and filled the pipe with tobacco.
He'd get off the bed after doing so, and went out onto the little balcony, striking a match and lighting up the pipe. Ceodore would take a big puff from the pipe, exhaling the smoke through his nose. A light smile took to his lips as the nostalgia of smoking with his mother, father, and sister filled his mind. | |

| As Gemini removed her clothing and entered the shower, she immediately relaxed. The soothing feel of the water on her skin made her sigh in contentedness. She took her time washing, letting her mind drift to absolute nothing. Her soul seemed to empty out as she felt and thought of nothing but the feel of the water.
"I want to know you, there's so much at stake...can't face the memories, the bend me til I break!" She began to sing to herself in an acoustic sort of style.
"Hiding from my past, but it's eating me alive...can't block it out, when it's coming from inside!" She incidentally became louder, not realizing the water around her was starting to spin about her while she washed with her eyes closed and mind shut.
"Every turn leads me to a new dead end! Lost again, I'm screaming your name!" The water from the faucet sprayed harder than ever, the water around her dancing in midair about her body and along her skin as she began to sing at the top of her lungs inadvertently.
"Stay close! Stay close! And call my name! How can you turn your back on me, when you know my pain! Come close, stay close, light up my night! Save me from the part of me that's begging to die!"
As her voice began to fade, her eyes still closed, the water about her slowly returned to normal. After a few minutes of silence, Gemini opened her eyes, blushing as she realized she had been singing in the shower. However, she didn't know how loud she had been singing. Finishing up her wash, she exited the shower and wrapped herself in a purple towel. Still not thinking straight, she walked right out of the bathroom and sat on the bed, sighing again as she thought about everything that needed to be done. | |

| Ceodore continued further into his nostalgia. He remembered of when he was first happily married, he and his wife spending a tender moment together in one of the areas in Kili. Many moments such as that eventually lead to the birth of their son, which was one of the proudest and happiest moments of his life. His smile stayed, even though he revisited certain parts of memory that he rather not did so.
"So much time has passed, yet it all still feels as though it were just a few days ago." Ceo muttered softly to himself. That was when the singing of Gemini began to grow louder and louder. On top of that, it seemed like the shower was getting extremely jiggy with her as well. Ceodore chuckled to himself as he listened to her. The young woman was breaking out of her quiet shell and was embracing more of that locked up personality within her.
Her voice was beautiful, though. Ceodore hadn't heard a voice like that in a while and it took his mind off of all the bad that tried to creep in. Hearing her voice allowed him to beat back all those negative emotions and memories with ease, something he had to give her subtle thanks for the help.
The shower had stopped from what he heard and she had came out. He heard her sigh of elation as she sat on the bed. Ceodore took this opportunity to clap loud enough for just those two to hear. He'd turn and leaned against the railing of the balcony, emptying out the ash of his kiseru, then exhaling some smoke through his nose. He'd take the pipe in-between two fingers on his left hand and smiled at the young woman.
"Now that's what I call a voice. Didn't know you had such a vocal chord in you. Calmed me down a hell of a lot better than this old pipe did." He said, grinning and chuckling softly. He also took the chance to get a view of how beautiful Gemini was. The water that clung to her body glistened off of the light, and made her seem even more illustrious than she first looked. Ceodore felt himself turning pink and immediately turned back around. Damn the few times he didn't have his mask on. | |

| Her face heated up red and then exceeded the possible physical color of red as she realized not only had Ceodore heard her singing, but was now looking at her in nothing but her towel. Her eyes widened to degrees never seen before, until she moved with such force the entire bed slid four feet away as she moved like a blur directly into the waiting closet, slamming the sliding door behind her.
'What the hell is wrong with me?' She thought as she repeatedly hit her head against the closet wall, yet she made no actual audible sound to let Ceo know she was embarrassed. Unfortunately, her extreme reaction was probably clue enough.
After standing still for several seconds, she paused again.
...
'Why the hell am I in the closet?' She facepalmed and sighed, finding herself acting stranger and stranger every second she remained in Ceo's presence.
She knew it had something to do with the way she was starting to feel about Ceo. But then again, she didn't know exactly what she was feeling about him. As far as she knew, it was just a very strong sense of friendship, a little stronger than she initially thought possible with him. However, she couldn't logically think that to be true nor that it would effect her emotions and personality like that. Either way, she finally calmed down her nerves and her libido. (She's a big girl, being horny is natural when being ogled by a sexy slab of man meat.)
She took one of the kimono typed robes in the closet and dressed, a small blush adorning her cheeks almost permanently as she still wore no undergarments under the kimono. She exited the closet and the light hit the kimono just right, making the light blue diamonds shine on it as the purple kimono itself seemed as if it were made of fine silk.
"Ceo-kun...I just realized, what should I call you if we ever meet in public?" She asked, hoping that a change in topic would put the whole little incident behind them.

| Ceodore would have heard the sound of the closet door slamming and took that as his cue to look back. The bed had shifted a bit and Gemini was nowhere to be seen. He tilted his head a bit and wondered if she were okay. Seconds had gone by and the man figured that she was probably going to stay in there for the rest of the night. A light chuckle left his lips as he put out the kiseru, went back inside closing the balcony door behind him, and sitting back on the bed.
After he did so, Gemini returned. She was wearing a purple silk kimono, with blue diamonds adorning it. When the light shined on it, both Gemini and the kimono became alive with a certain beauty that left a streak of pink across Ceodore's face as well. He smirked a little and looked away slightly. She was just too damn beautiful to look at for prolonged periods of time in that sort of way.
"Hm...? Oh, yeah, right. Let me think." Ceodore stroked his chin and thought for a bit. Not even a second later an idea struck him and he snapped his fingers. Looking back up at Gemini, he'd shoot her a smile and nodded. "Call me, 'Nightingale.' Only a handful of people know me by that name, you included. Besides you, there shouldn't be anyone else here who would know me under that name, so it's perfect." | |

| Gemini nodded. "Nightingale. That's a nice name."
She moved to the kitchen and pulled out a few groceries. Just a few chicken breast and a few lemons. She stated to boil a pot of water. Afterward she pulled out a bag of rice. She went quiet as she stated to season the chicken. Once again forgetting where she was, Gemini began to hum the song that she was singing earlier. | |

| "You think so?" Ceodore asked, chuckling a bit. He watched as Gemini went from the small living room to the kitchen. With all that just happened, Ceo forgot that they went to the grocery store to buy their food for the day anyways. When he saw her pull out the chicken, the seasoning, along with the rice, his stomach growled loudly, and he laughed a bit to himself.
"Looks like my stomach is already expecting good food." He said aloud. The man sighed out in relaxation, but figured he could use a little bit more comfort. He got up from the bed, removed his shoes and socks, revealing clawed feet (though they were kept trimmed and neat). Ceodore then took off the jacket he wore to reveal the black shirt he wore underneath. The man took off his shirt as well, to reveal that he wore wrappings of some sort around his midsection, covering his abs a bit, but revealing the rest. This also showed the actual muscle he had. He muscular, yet toned, and not too bulky. Ceodore removed his belt last, but kept his pants on, as he flopped back onto the bed. "Ah, that's more like it!" He'd said in a cheerful and relaxed tone. | |

| Gemini pulled out a skillet and used a little vegetable oil to base it. She put a little salt into the boiling water and then poured in the rice. While watching that boil, she seasoned the chicken and diced the lemons. She rubbed the chicken down with the lemon slices and then put some of the lemon bits into the skillet as it started to sizzle. Then she started the saute the chicken. She was focused, a small smile on her face and a calm and warm look in her eye. She continued to hum 'Stay Close' as the food was cooking.
She didn't realize this was almost a carbon copy of when she used to cook for her mother back in The Imperial City. Her emotions and feelings where slipping back to when she had a normal life. Before she had gotten lost in the desert and taken in by the monks of Roku Island.
"I'm a pretty good cook, but my mom was much better." Gemini admitted with a very uncharacteristic chirp in her voice. "I learned how to cook healthier through the monks as well. I still love eating rice with everything though. Do you like anything in particular?" | |

| Ceodore's nose twitched at the smell of the food and he was smiling even more. Better yet, he was hearing the wonderful voice of Gemini, as she hummed to herself. Everything seemed so peaceful and the laziness and happiness Ceo once knew was returning. He was cutting loose and relaxing. This girl, though she was different in many ways, made Ceodore experience his old feelings and joys in a lot of ways people couldn't do. She was mysterious, yet in a good way that made him... Want her for lack of better words.
However, he kept himself reserved and those feelings to himself. The way how they were, he wouldn't ruin such a great friendship through blurting out these feelings. For right now, they'd just look forward to eating their dinner, and talking about random topics for conversation. A topic came up coincidentally and Ceodore would smile a bit more at it.
"I see. I was in the same boat when it came to cooking. My mother had this natural touch to it, while I have this weird way of going about cooking. Rice is particularly good. I don't eat it with everything, but I do eat some pretty good dishes that involve it. When it came to liking anything in particular, Ceodore thought a bit before answering. "I prefer lots of meat and pickled vegetables. Those always have me singing whenever I'm hungry." He'd add with a small chuckle. | |

| "Pickled vegetables? Only some of those are good. I've tried all types of pickled food, but that's generally because people didn't know how to cook." She giggled as the rice finally finished. The chicken would take a bit longer, but was starting to cook evenly. In the mean time, she filled up the tea kettle and started to heat up water. She pulled out the tea they had bought.
"What type of tea do you want Ceo?" She asked. | |

| "W-Wow. You just indirectly called my cooking bad!" He said, as he chuckled loudly. "Well I love pickled vegetables no matter what any cooking tastes like." Ceodore put his hands behind his head and sat against the headrest. The man continued to watch as the young woman started to finish up the food. All of it smelt real good and he licked his lips in anticipation.
"Ah, as for tea... Make it green tea. I have to purify my body of anything negative inside." Ceodore stated. | |

| Gemini giggled at Ceo, an action that was starting to feel more and more natural. After a few more minutes, all of the food and tea was done. She found a big tray to carry the food on and began to head back into the main room with all of it stacked dangerously.
"I haven't cooked anything like this in a while so I hope you li-" She paused and blushed heavily as she took in Ceo's state of dress. Her eyes widened and her mouth cemented itself shut. It had been a long time since she had seen a male in that state of dress, and even longer since she remembered seeing it.
A small trickle of blood slowly rolled down Gemini's nose before she shook her head and smirked before moving to set the tray down by Ceo. She sat next to him, her blush never leaving, and her hormones skyrocketing. Forget all that no physical contact bullshit, she wanted to feel his chest so bad. "After lunch, I've still got to get going. If anything, we should start working so we can make some money on the side and keep ourselves fed." | |

| Ceodore watched as Gemini brought in all the food and he'd soon cross his legs and sat back more. All of it smelt good and he couldn't wait to dig in. His nose could tell that the food was going to be spectacular, even without the need to taste any of it. He smiled at both the tray of food and Gemini as they entered the main room. Gemini was in the middle of saying something, when she suddenly shut her mouth and stared at him.
"What happened? Is there something on me?" He asked, taking a look around on his body, which caused him to unintentionally flex as he twisted his body around. When he didn't find anything on him, he noticed the small trickle of crimson red blood on Gemini's nose. He tilted his head and scratched it questioningly. "Are you okay, by the way? Your nose seems to be bleeding." He stated, but saw that she was smiling and brought the food to the bed.
When she sat next to him, Ceodore turned a slight pink and looked her in the eyes. "The food looks and smells great. I can tell I'm going to enjoy this meal." He said to her. That was when she brought up her having to do something after this, and even suggesting they find some sort of work to keep themselves situated in the suite. Ceodore's smile became soft and nodded towards her.
"Ah shoot, I'm gunna miss you once we're both out and about. But... Seeing as we're technically living together, I guess it won't be all that bad since I'll be looking forward to seeing you here." He said, his smile widening. He hadn't noticed that he spoke his mind so quickly and ended up blushing brightly. "That is, if you don't mind coming home to goof like me." He'd say while he chuckled lightly. | |

| Gemini's mind was already a hazy cloud of hormones while being practically naked in a room with some guy she had only met that day. She wasn't ignorant on one night stands, but then again, she was living with that same person now. As she took her plate and began to eat, she suddenly choked on her lemon chicken as Ceo said he would miss her. Her blush returned full force. She patted her chest and took a moment to calm down.
"I...won't mind spending time with you." She said while only having tinted cheeks. "Ceodore...I've been having a lot of fun with you, and I have to admit that I think I'm starting to feel intimate about our relationship. I understand it is weird since we've only known each other for a few hours and I can't truly understand why I'm starting to feel this way. I believe it's because I haven't been in contact with the male sex like this in a long time. However, I cannot bring myself to start a physical relationship, as well, I don't want to be in a strictly physical relationship either. I am happy to be friends, but if this feeling persist, then I fear it may become something more Ceo..."
Once again, in testament to who she truly was, Gemini spoke her mind and the whole truth. No matter how she was starting to feel, the teaching of the monks stayed with her and if it would cut out any unnecessary drama or problems in the future, she would say what needed to be said immediately. | |

| Ceodore started on his food, eating the rice along with the chicken. He quickly placed his food down and noticed that Gemini was choking. He was at the ready to take his hand and pat her back to help her, but remembered what happened at the grocery store earlier and pulled his hand back, seeing that Gemini got herself situated right at that moment.
"Are you alright? Drink some of the tea if you need to." He suggested to her. He smiled knowing that she was alright once more.
However, she began to explain to Ceodore the feelings that she felt when spending these last few hours with him. The man blushed as he realized Gemini was being honest and that she telling him straight up how she felt. The probability that she hadn't had contact with males in this sort of way in a while, made Ceodore suspect something might have happened with her to cause such a isolation from men. She then went on to say that she couldn't get into a physical relation ship and didn't want it to be a strictly physical relationship. He blushed more, when Gemini said that she feared if the feelings persisted that they may become something more...
"Gemini... You're adorable. I understand where you're coming from, I do. The truth is, I've been feeling the same type of feelings as well, but I don't want to impose on our friendship. You're the first person I met since coming here and you've been so kind, that I wouldn't want anything to ruin that. I am fine with what decisions you choose to make between you and I. I wouldn't mind a relationship with you one bit, you're a great girl and a great cook, but I wouldn't want you to be uncomfortable at all. Do what makes you happy and I'll be just as happy." He say with a big grin on his face. He was glad Gemini was honest with him, it made the man feel really fuzzy on the inside. He continued to look her in the eye and smiled more.
"Just like how you're honest with me right now, be honest with your heart and feelings. Whatever you're feeling, rest assured that I'll be there to help you through them. We're friends now and I care about you so... Don't ever be afraid to reach out." Ceodore said, going back to his chicken and happily eating it. He'd take a few sips of his tea and sighed at how delicious the entire meal was. | |

| Gemini didn't know why, but a single tear slid down her cheek at Ceo's words. The camaraderie that he showed was like that of the monks on Roku. Even more, it reminded her of the friends she left behind in The Imperial City. Lastly, she was reminded of the love she had with her mother. Swallowing the lump in her throat as she sat next to Ceo for several minutes of silence, she would pull up all of her courage before slowly and deliberately leaning her head on his shoulder. She tensed for a seconds, a shiver going down her spine, but after a moment she relaxed and let out a contented sigh. It didn't feel as wrong as she thought it would and she would continue to happily eat her meal alongside her new friend.
"Thank you Ceo..." She whispered to him. | |

| Ceodore's shoulder felt warm as she rested her head on it. He smiled and a streak of pink went across he cheeks, but he stayed composed and continued with his food. She had thanked him and the red haired man shook his head and smiled.
"No need to thank me, Gemini. I'd do it for you anytime." He said confidently, continuing to dig into his food.
"This food is delicious by the way! I should be the one thanking you for cooking such a great meal! Though it is simple chicken breast with rice, it seasoned perfectly and the juice mixed in with the rice gives it even more flavor. This cooking is on par with my mother's, and that's saying something!" He'd say honestly and with a big grin on his face. She sure did know how to cook and that made Ceo blush in embarrassment over the fact that he couldn't cook worth a damn. | |

| She smiled at his compliments. She hadn't made anything as fancy or simple as lemon flavored chicken in a long time. The monks were far too simple, sometimes only eating nothing but rice for days at a time. Either way, she was happy that Ceodore enjoyed her cooking, even saying it was as good as his mom's.
"I can cook for you whenever you want when we're here. As long as we keep food in the fridge." It was funny that her monotone was still there, but it was a lot more emotion flooding through than before. She ended up finishing her food and washing it down with the tea moments later. After staying leaned against Ceo for a bit longer, she stood up and stretched, forgetting that she was wearing a kimono type robe, an having her ample cleavage almost slip out of the fabric. She smiled at Ceo before moving to finally get dressed in the bathroom.
"We should learn a communication spell so we can keep in touch with each other." She called from the bathroom. "I'll be home tomorrow maybe after I finish a mission or two. I do want to go meet with the King and Queen and then with some of the Kage's of the outlaying villages. I'm sure someone knows a basic communication spell we can learn by tomorrow." | |

| "Would you really cook for me whenever we're here? Thanks a lot, Gemini. I'll be sure to make it up to you in some way. I'll probably take you somewhere nice to see or what have you. Not too sure, but I'll do it! As for the food, count on me to be doing some odd jobs in order to put food in the fridge, while you get it on the table." He chuckled at his little joke and smiled towards Gemini.
He enjoyed that small bit of closeness he and Gemini had when she laid her head on his shoulder. The man hadn't felt any sort of closeness like that in a long while and glad it was someone as sweat and wonderful like her, that was reawakening his happier memories. She eventually stood up and stretched, which revealed her cleavage, and giving Ceo an idea of her maturity. The man blushed, gulped, and quickly looked back up to smile at Gemini. While she went to get dressed, Ceo would go to put the dishes away, and wash them.
"Communication spell, huh? I'm sure we'll find someone to help out with that. Heck, I think Alma Marta has the know how of the spell. I'll be sure to learn one though, for our sake." Ceodore smiled at the thought of keeping in touch with Gemini. They'd be able to talk while far away, meet up somewhere should they feel like it, and even come to each other's aid should the situation permit.
"Same here. My meeting with a friend of mine shouldn't take long, so I'll be home as well tomorrow. I should do the same with meeting the kages, plus the King and Queen, but I'll probably do that another day. A village I do want to see in person, however, is the Urbe Saevitum village. Heard the culture there and kage are some of the most unique in terms of the villages on this continent." He said with a smile. Ceo finished up with cleaning the dishes and went back into the main room. "I take it you're leaving once you've gotten dressed, huh? I'll leave out after you, so don't worry about waiting up on my expense." | |

| Gemini confirmed everything Ceo said. She meant every word of it as well. They were friends, and maybe just a bit more now. She would stick by him as long as he stuck by her. She exited the bathroom fully clothed and nodded at Ceo.
"Fine. Let's head down and see if Alma knows a spell. Then we don't have to worry about when we'll meet up." She began to head down, holding the door open for Ceo as she went. | |

| "Hold up, let me get dressed real quick!" He said and ran to his pile of clothes. His speed was demonstrated once more as he put on his socks and shoes first, followed by his belt, then his shirt, and his jacket right after. Before heading out, he picked up his sword, Gladius, and tied it around his waist, on the left side. Once he was ready to go, he'd exit out the room and thanked Gemini for holding the door for him.
"Good idea, doing that will save us some time, allowing us to see each other sooner." He laughed at the notion and when Gemini had locked up the room, Ceodore would walk with her down the hallway, and towards the stairs that would take them to the main lobby of the hotel. There, they'd get some basic lessons from Alma Marta on the ethics of using a communication spell. | |

| Moving into the lobby, Gemini saw Alma talking with a few other people and someone wearing a mask. The masked person was obviously a ninja but the others seemed like civilians. She didn't want to bother them while it seemed like they were taking care of important business so she decided to just wait.
"That guy looks important. Almost like an ANBU." She said silently to CEO. She hadn't seen anyone that actually looked to be a ninja in Esperanza so far, so the appearance of one caught her off guard. | |

| Ceodore stopped right by Gemini and watched the masked man closely. From what Gemini had stated, the masked man was apart of the ANBU. He had no idea who, or what they were, so he kept his mouth shut, and his eyes to the man. The situation tensed for a moment and Ceodore felt it slightly, but he decided to calm himself, and wait to see what would happen next.
"This guy... His mask... It is so not as cool as mine." Ceodore said to himself and smirked, knowing that his mask was a work of well created art. "I wonder what he's doing here though. How do these guys normally operate?" Ceodore asked and kept his voice to a minimum. He didn't want the masked man to catch on to their little surveying of his being. | |

| "ANBU are shadow operatives of their specific villages. They're like secret agents and assassins. They also handle important information that does not need to be made public..." She trailed off.
Gemini frowned a bit as the man nodded, as did Alma, and disappeared in a blur. The other people began to go about their way with urgency and Alma sighed. She noticed the two watching and smiled tiredly before beckoning them over.
"What's got you two looking so worried? Remember, this is neutral territory so no fighting." Alma tried to ease their nerves, but with her own still out of whack, it was obvious something had happened.
"Is everything alright Alma? What was an ANBU doing here?"
"Nothing to worry yourself over child. Just a few people disturbing the peace of the villages. That ANBU was just warning me to be on the look out for any suspicious characters. Much like yourselves sneaking around and watching people." She joked. Gemini had the courtesy to blush and wondered how Alma had known they were watching. Then she rolled her eyes.
'Because she's a mother...' Gemini thought.
"Damn straight." Alma called with a wink to Gemini before folding her arms and smiling. The tension completely lifted. "So what do you two need from little ol' Alma?" | |
