She moved one of his hands, setting her right hand flat on his temple, rubbing it slightly as the pain slowly inched away. She removed her hand then, closing her eyes in frustration to her own, of which wouldnt go away from the cause of using such high level magic in her conditional state. She opened her eyes again at his remark, glancing as he rolled his eyes. Finding it disrespectful she scowled. "I am nothing like them." she said sharply. "I may be his half sister, but i was never ment to rule!" she glared at him a while, then turned away in a frown. "... Sorry, its.. its just hard to face things so quickly..." took a hand to wipe away tears befoere they came. "... You can leave me now..." she said, having yet to look at him again..

He was surprised when the pain receeded, and felt doubly foolish for his comparison of her to Kye, "I didn't mean . . . ," he sighed, thinking maybe it would be better if he left, she could rest and he could . . . well, he wasn't sure, but . . . she could rest.
He stood, and looked over at her, "Thank you . . . ," he said quietly, reffering to the pain that was in his head, that she had healed . . . at least for now. He didn't think it would ever go away, and cursed his dead father for it.
He turned and walked to the door, stopping momentarily to look back at her . . . he shook his head and walked out, closing the door quietly and leaning against it for a moment, unsure of what to do now . . . .

The moment he shut the door there was a shriek comming from Raven's very lips... Something happened! With Neo's sensitive ears he heard thumbling around the room and a crash, then a slam against the wall and a fumble to the ground... but something wasnt right! what happened!

With the shriek and following noises, he opened the door as quickly as he could, pushing into the room and looking around frantically, trying to figure out what happened . . . .

He found Raven on the floor with a few of the warriors over her, furious as to what she was. "You!!" they kicked her in the side. "I dont Care If You're Royalty! We're Gonna Die Because Of You!!!" they kicked her again... they had been hiding outside the room until the very moment Neo left to try killing Raven... she was to tired and stressed to do anything at the moment... simply squealing under their voices.. and enduring their fury... ".. uugghn.."

Neo snarled and drew Flame in one swift movement, not even thinking about it, "You'll die because of your own moronic stupidity!"
His sword cut down 2 of them fast enough, and the remaining tried in vain to save themselves, but he cut them down as well. His eyes flashing with anger, he sheathed Flame and turned to Raven, eyes narrowing, I shouldn't have left . . . .
He knelt beside her, "Raven . . . ."

She moaned and squeeled.... her breathing quickened, and she was sweating... The moment he reached down to help her, she crimped, squealing again "... j-j...just.. go.." she wanted to be left alone... but it couldnt happen... not now... she didnt want to be touched.. but he had to... he had to find out if she was badly hurt. The only sign was the stream of blood flowing from the crease of her mouth, and a few bruises... though they werent bad... she was in such a hurting position. she repeated. "...g-g...g....go!......"

"I'm not leaving you now, are you crazy?" he growled, reaching for her, wondering what exactly to do. He took her up in his arms, holding her gently and searching her over a few times. Seeing nothing visible, he hoped to any and all gods that it wasn't internal . . . .
Picking her up with the same gentleness, he placed her lightly on her bed, still searching her for wounds, but still finding none, "I don't see anything bad . . . ," he looked back up at her face, "But I'm not leaving again . . . now that I know that could happen again, I'm not taking the chance."
He glanced at the dead men laying on the floor at various places around where she had been on the floor before now, Damn the bastards . . . . A low growl rumbled in his throat before he turned back to Raven, "Do you think . . . you'll be ok, or . . . ?" His eyes searched her own, in case she tried to be stubborn and lie to him about her condition, which would be stupid in the state she was in . . . .

Her eyes showed amazement for his concern... deeply surprised.... when he asked his question.. she avoided his eyes and said nothing, rolling to her side with a from, the blood from her mouth slowly stopping... though still comming.

He sighed lightly as she rolled to her side and said nothing, "Very well then . . . ," he slid down to the floor and unsheathed Flame, taking a whet stone from a pocket and taking slow, deliberate strokes, removing already dried blood and sharpening the blade all in the same movement.
If she's going to be stubborn like that, I can too . . . but I'm not leaving no matter what she does, a low growl echoed in his throat, barely audible, as he continued his strokes, concentrating on them, but keeping auds and nares alert to any and all scents and sounds that might be approaching enemies.
"You'd think you'd be safe in your own room, in your own kingdom . . . ," he muttered, taking another slow stroke.

Raven scowled at that. "It's Not Mine!" she sat up, though cringed. "ugghn." she clenched a hand on her shoulder, gritting her teeth and falling back, catching herself on the brace of her other arm holding her up... she slowly calmed.... panting from her sudden shock, her head not doing any better.... she was healing again.... but her head was a constint pain... She slowly inched back down... back on her side, her back to him as she whimpered, holding her shoulder still, curling her legs against her...

He was about to apologize when he thought it would be more fun to keep it in mind how much it bugged her. He smirked and continued to sharpen Flame with the whet stone.
He looked back at as she cringed, holding her shoulder, wondering if he should find someone to look at it . . . , No . . . I can't leave her . . . I could come back and she'd be dead. Better she suffer through a hurt shoulder than die.
He sighed once more . . . , I wish I knew something better . . . something better to do for her . . . . He paused momentarily in the middle of a stroke, then blinked and continued, glancing back at her every so often.

He's such a jerk. she thought... feeling so tired... her eyes slowly fluttered before she winced. "ugh..." the pain waking her up again.. the healing had stopped.... she looked to a small water bowl on a dresser at the far side wall, though it was so far away... and Neo wouldnt get it.. or so she thought. she slowly sat up, falling back once or twice with a grunt or two.. getting to the side of her bed... panting already. She slowly tried getting to her feet, "ugghn!!" she fell... thump-ump-ump... it hurt so much... she whined, holding her shoulder in one hand, her stomach in the other... though she wouldnt give up yet, she was so thirsty... she slowly leaned against the nightstand, slowly limping her way towards the dresser, she was almost there...
Until she fell to the floor, unconcious.... she was to tired to go without sleep any longer... hurting to much to move.... it looked as if she just, died.. Neo couldnt know the difference at her looks... No one could..

Flame still in his hand, he quickly sheathed it and came to kneel beside her, "Raven . . . damn it . . . ," he picked her up, focusing on listening for breath and looking for it . . . there was the slight rise and fall, and his auds did pick up the breath.
"Damn it . . . ," he muttered, hating that he had been so scared for her . . . that he cared seemingly so overly much, at least in his mind. He'd never cared for anyone before, and never so intensely as now . . . as for her, and he didn't even really know her.
Carefully, he laid her back on the bed, sitting beside her, his gaze focused on her, What the hell was she doing? He blinked and turned his gaze to where she had been heading . . . . Guessing what she had wanted, he growled, Why didn't she just ask me to get it for her? Damn her . . . instead she makes me-. . . , he looked back at her, instead she had scared him to death . . . , Damn it all.
He sat there, watching her every so often to see if she'd wake, then turning his gaze to some random place in the room, trying to figure his emotions out before watching her for a while once more.

But she didnt.... not for hours... No signs of being alright came to him from her... though her expression while sleeping was so sweet, and calm... there was nothing to depend on to make her awaken.....
