Erisnor, Land of Barbarians

Urtan tips his head at her with a questioning glance and then seems to remember he can talk, "What do you mean?"

"What do I mean by what? You have to be a little more specific. I said a lot of things. Although I can define them. I am lucky and unlucky. I am not ever touched but I never get beaten. I live alone but I don't have to live in a city. I don't want to make people unhappy so I live here alone where no one can be disgusted by my presence. I am rather sad but I have Chihiro so I am not lonely." Aneko said and shrugged lightly.

Urtan frowns and looks thoughtful and then looks around, "I heard this Chihiro speaking before. I did not think about it earlier but she's disappeared and I did not see her. Where is she?"

Aneko smiled lightly. "I'll go get her." She said before she stood and went to the bedroom. She picked the flower pot back up and carried it the the kitchen. She then set it down. "Wake up little Chihiro." The flower seemed to stretch and then there was the little girl in it's place. She smiled lightly and latched onto Aneko's leg.

Urtan's eyes widen and he stares for a moment before regaining composure. "Amazing..." he murmurs and looks at Chihiro, not with fear but with respect. He looks at Aneko and smiles before addressing Chihiro. "Hello."

Chihiro looked at him for a moment with wide eyes. "Hi." She said softly before she burried her face in the fabric on Aneko's leg. "Who's the strange man older sister?" She asked softly.

"He's a friend of mine. His name is Urtan. He is a very nice man so don't worry. I wouldn't let anyone hurt you." Aneko sat back down and Chihiro climbed into her lap.

Urtan chuckles and smiles at Chihiro. "So what exactly are you Chihiro?" he asks softly, trying not to frighten her.

Chihiro continued to hold on to Aneko but turned to look at him. "I am a flower. Silly man." She said simply. Aneko laughed lightly and handed Chihiro a glass of water.

"She is a flower. They all have souls. With a little magic they come to life and can become little children."

Urtan raises his eyebrows and smiles at Chihiro. "I apologize Chihiro. I was just confused," he says and chuckles. He reaches out and offers his hand to Chihiro. No sparks dance on his skin even as he offers her his ungloved hand.

Chihiro looked at his hand for a moment. She then reached out and gently shook his with her small hand. "You really are a silly man. No wonder older sister likes you."

"I don't know what you're talking about." Aneko said. A light blush tinted her cheeks. She tried to look like she wasn't embarased.

Urtan grins, not feeling any pain from touching Chihiro. He didn't think he would because she had the same electrical field as plants, not like humans or other human like creatures. "So your older sister likes strange men huh?" he asks, looking at Urtan out of the corner of his eye. He was teasing her.

"I believe I said silly man. It's good to have people to make you laugh. It increases your life span. Besides she needs someone to be with. So she can live happily ever after. All those other mean men aren't good enough." Chihiro said with a light nod. Aneko's blush darkened lightly.

Urtan chuckles, "Would you like to sit in my lap for a bit? That way we can whisper to each other and make evil plans about your sister," he teases.

Aneko gave him a glare. "Keep your dirty mits to yourself bub. You will not corrupt little Chihiro. So keep your evil plans to yourself and leave her alone. Besides no one can predict what will hapen in your lap."

Urtan raises his eyebrows at Aneko and an wicked glint enters his eyes. "You could feel for yourself. But of course you wouldn't want to do that," he says and grins before patting Chihiro on the head lightly. "It was nice to meet you, and your older sister." he says and turns to Aneko. "I'm sorry about... what happened before. Now I suppose... if you have no need for me to stay... I should go... and wake Erik up considering I hit him with a lightning bolt."

"You didn't just meet me." Aneko said and stuck her tongue out at him. "Good luck with your friend." She said before she turned her head so she was looking back at Chihiro.

"Goodbye silly man." Chihiro said with a bright child like smile.

Urtan chuckles and pulls on his hood but not his mask. He stands and freezes for a moment before he quick crouches down and kisses Chihiro on the forehead and Aneko on the cheek. He then stands and with amazing speed disappears. Where he kisses, for Aneko only, tingles from the electricity on his lips, but doesn't hurt.

"What's the matter older sister?" Chihiro asked as she looked up at Aneko. She reached up and gently whiped her eyes. "Did I say something that upset you?"

"No, of course not. I love you little Chihiro. I could never be mad at you. But I think you should probably get some rest." Chihiro gave her a worried look before she climbed back onto her pot and became a flower once more. Aneko went to her bed and burried her face in the pillow. She was trying to cover her sobs.

Urtan freezes, hearing a soft sound coming from the cabin that wasn't voices. He didn't have extraordinarily good hearing, like Erik did, but he could hear better than most. Slowly he figures out it's sobbing and he frowns, trying desperately not to be swayed by tears. He knew he shouldn't stick around and should never come back. It was too dangerous for Aneko and Chihiro. But he just couldn't do it. Even though he had been beaten and tortured and kill numerous times he wasn't an evil man.

After only a minute and a half Urtan slips in through the door and knocks on her bedroom door hesitantly. "Aneko?" he asks quietly, hesitantly. "Are you hurt...?"

Aneko paused for a moment when she heared a voice. "What do you care? Besides I am all ways hurt. All ways broken. Why should a few moments of tears be any different. It is all the same and it continues to mean nothing to everybody. So don't bother worrying about me. It would only be a waste of your time."

Urtan growls and opens her door, walking to her side and kneeling next to her. "What did I do to make you angry at me? What did I do to hurt you? And it's not a waste of my time..."

"It must be a waste of your time if you just want to leave." Aneko said burring her face back into the pillow. "It's all right though. I know that you have other things to do. I don't mind you leaving knowing that you won't come back. I don't mind knowing that I spent a day trying to get to know a man who won't be around. I don't mind. It's no big deal. I'm not angry. I'm not hurt. I just want to be left alone to my tears."

Urtan sighs and takes off his gloves. He gently strokes her hair and sits with her for a minute before speaking. "It's not a waste of my time... And I don't truly have anything to do. I can just go tell Erik to take himself... wherever he's going. And... yes I admit I wasn't planning on coming back. But... I never do plan to come back. But I always come back. And I said that if you needed me for anything I would stay..."

"You did not say that." Aneko said. She had to try not to react to him touching her. "You were going to leave. You weren't going to come back. Why should I be happy about that? I don't see the logic of me being happy about being left. You didn't even have to come see if I am okay. I was content with crying by myself. It's only going to be worse when you leave. You don't need to be nice to me and comfort me when you just plan to leave. I am tired of people leaving me."

Urtan watches her and pulls off his hood and mask again, throwing them on the ground where they spark. "Aneko... I won't leave you." he murmurs and kisses her gently. "And I did say that. I specifically said "Now I suppose... if you have no need for me to stay... I should go..."."

"I never said I had no need of you nore that I wanted you to go. I don't know what could have given you that idea." Aneko said with a light pout. She turned and gave him a look. "I don't like it when people leave me. You are the only person in my life to touch me."
