On his feet once more, he was quickly behind her and following without comment. After all he was more focused on the little one who's cries were now more hushed mews, he too could feel the pull of the sleep, but unlike L he didn't bet they were going to wake again. With her abrupt stop, Korrё very shortly ran square into the back of her. Annoyed he looked up at her,"What now?" He sighed, Miyu had stopped crying and the room around the whispered with sounds distantly above them. Footsteps, chants, and the clanging of bells. They were very close to being underneath the chapel, a thought that didn't effect him in any way really. "Well?" He wasn't feeling in the mood for being too nice about this, what could have caused her to stop anyway. His head snapped up from the kit, golden eyes examined the room they were in. The whole place was little more than candles, linens, and a few discarded stone slabs. Beyond it was a long hallway he could see, one that continued north. With a shrug he looked back over to L who seemed to have come out of a daze, surprised by the shadows that still clung to her body.

L heard him and the crying kit, she could even hear the far more enraged inhuman beast distantly roaring with frustration at the lose of its meal. It was taking all she had to care, it seemed the more she tried the more the presence pushed at her mind to think of other things. She kept shaking her head, trying to raise herself from the fog that kept creeping into her mind. The voice was quiet, but that was little help, she had to think. It was then that the tunnel vision let up, and L noted Korrё watching her with a mild shock. Glaring she moved forward into the long but narrow passage way, not giving him another second to ask question. She knew he was following because she heard the footsteps behind her, not hurried but not distant either. As they wandered, she could make out on the far end several rows of open areas. The second set was as good as any to rest in, and she started to turn to tell him that. Her quicksilver eyes came around to view his vibrant golden orbs, when the stone door just behind him slammed down shut with an earth quaking force that jarred both of them.

Korrё whirled around within seconds of the massive stone falling shut behind him, this place was starting to get a little creepy; then again he was stuck here too. He turned back to face the silvery orbs which watch the door with an expressionless, hollow gaze; she was starting to get a bit creepy too. The pair were silent as L blinked slowly a few times, "That was the last thing I'd expected..." She told him honestly with a shrug. Then her index finger wagged at him, in a motioned that beckoned him to follow her before she pointed up the way. "Hey, why not." He gave, might as well see where this all went off to after all, might as well satisfy curiosity before you die. He watched her screw up her face at him which looked more like a sour face than it was threatening before she turned away and began to head wherever she'd pointed. When the pair had entered the first room, it seemed somehow more inviting than anything else in this dead maze had.

L went to one side of the room and began to shuffle something about, while Korrё made himself comfortable on the stone floor near the western wall of the room. She returned before he could close his eyes, with of all things a basket in laid with towels. At least Miyu would get to have and actual bed, he thought as he snatched away the basket from the crazy woman's hands and set the bundled up kit within it. L carefully made her way over to the eastern wall and with a tired thud leaned back and fell against the wall, only to slide down it to the floor moments later. Her knees bent and her arms folded over her chest, she closed her eyes and allowed the sleep to claim her. Korrё folded his legs into a comfortable position and crossed his arms as well, looking more like a man in peaceful meditation allowing himself to be taken over as well.

With the fall of dusk claiming the skies outside, and the peaceful hum of the temple centering into a quieter pace Korrё woke. Deep swirling golden eyes pierced the darkness of the small room as he glanced about, seeking out the other dark kin who'd shared this small haven for a day. To his mild surprise she was gone, but the tiny kit was left sleeping soundly in her basket. With another scan of the room, he determined that in fact he and Miyu really were alone. A thought he was still on the fence with the idea of caring for the kit, he couldn't just abandon her either. Sighing he grumbled about unfair world as he got to his feet and put his long coat back on, the basket would at least make a nice stable thing to carry the little doll in. It wasn't an entire minute that passed before he heard the soft click of boots on the marble floor outside the door, Korrё held his breath as the door slowly creaked open. To his annoyance and relief the pale face of the crazy L poked around the corner and smiled at him.

[Nyxia]

L smiled as she saw him awake, but her smile didn't last long. Carefully she pushed through the door and into the stone room once more, she'd been gone a little over an hour by then. She was just glad to see him awake, it gave her a chance to talk to him about where they were now. For a second as she pushed shut the solid Ash door behind herself the memories invaded once more, pressing her mind. It wasn't pleasant to have a being like this forcing herself on you, and the headache she got from resisting began to pound like a drum beat once more.

***Flash Back***
Deeply asleep floating soundlessly in the black abyss that had so long ago become sleep, L hovered between the worlds just out of reach of the veil. "You don't have time", called a voice from the blackness. Her eyes snapped open, rage was the first thing that engulfed her mind and body, how dare someone invade her little world. "You must hurry." Came the soft voice once more in the dark, and L growled. "Wake, child. You must wake." With a second growl her liquid silver eyes had snapped open, and she found herself once more in the room with Korrё. "Listen", she heard the soft whisper like a wind drifting through the stones. Still L wasn't sure what else to do, so she listened; and heard the scratching of claws beyond the door. That was bad...
***End Flash Back***

Now she stood leaning against the wooded door, staring blankly at the world stretched out before her. With a few blinks she found herself seeing the world now, with the added headache. Korrё was staring at her, likely he thought she was mad, likely she was. "Which do you want first?" She asked him quietly, whipping the side of her mouth once more to clean away the last of the black blood from her lips. "Good news, or bad news." With that she sat down still pushed against the door.

[Nyxia]

Korrё stood in silence watching her, "No news is ever good news, I'll take the bad first if you don't mind." The smile he gave was forced and strained as he adjusted the basket in his arms, never taking his eyes off her. She was beautiful, when she didn't look angry or have that mad-as-a-hatter grin on her lips. To his eyes in the dim room though she looked more worn, like she'd aged in the hours of daylight he'd slept. He watched as she tucked her knees up to her chest and sighed lightly into the room, listening to the empty world beyond their little haven. He stood there waiting for her to speak, fighting his mind to ask aloud that all dooming question. With the kit settled he sank down to one knee, making himself eye level with the other dark kin.
