Chapter 11

The next hours had flown by, dinner came and went and before any one knew it, it was 8pm. No one returned to the pool after dinner, it wasn't allowed so they all wandered in search of ways to entertain themselves.

Usually Bryan would sit with Tala and/or Spencer and have a couple of drinks, watch the younger ones and chat and socialise with some of the adults or bladers from other teams, but tonight the falcon had decided against this. Instead, decided to go for a walk, explore the grounds for a while and see what else there was to do and see inside the complex.

Bryan strolled along one of the pathways which led away from the hotel in which they all stayed. He knew from the informative talk with Mr Dickinson prior to the vacation that there was another two holiday villages within the resort as well as afew attractions which didn't really lie in any of them but in the grounds between each separate village.

Passing the mini theatre, the falcon heard what sounded like a lively performance underway. He continued walking. He had no desire to investigate any further. Live theatre shows just weren't his thing.

As he walked Bryan saw afew small shops bunched close together, making a mental note to tell Tala about them so that he could take Daichi there like he'd promised. They were all closed up though, no lights on and the doors firmly closed, no sign of life at all so Bryan strolled on.

Being alone gave Bryan peace and quiet. He loved being with his brothers and taking care of his younger siblings but sometimes the falcon needed his alone time. The time to himself where he could relax and not have to worry about what was going on with anyone else. It was refreshing and with all of the drama that had gone on lately he was glad for the relief.

He had been planning on taking Kai with him. The phoenix liked to have a quiet walk much like himself and it would give Kai the chance to stretch his legs and have a proper walk as opposed to just getting to and from the room to either the pool, the dining room or the hotel bar.

Kai needed exercise. He needed to get out and stretch his legs and run and train and not feel cooped up otherwise Kai could be very grumpy indeed. That was the boy's most effective way that he relieved stress. Although with the injuries that he had sustained as of late the phoenix's exercise had been restricted to gentle walks and not much more.

But since arriving in Kos Kai had been very sleepy, sleeping later than he usually would in the mornings, napping in the afternoons and going to bed earlier than usual. That had been the reason for leaving Kai behind this evening; fatigue. It was only about 8pm but already the falcon had noticed that the phoenix had been beginning to get drowsy. It was unusual for Kai. Normally Kai would start to get tired around 10pm, but that was with an early start of about 6 am, no nap all day and with plenty of exercise.

As Bryan walked and thought his attention was caught by the disco hall that he had heard the teenage bladers raving about. The flashing lights and distant music had been what had caught his attention, he could see the appeal of the place to the younger generation but again decided to give it a miss. Although he enjoyed going out to clubs back home in Russia, Bryan knew that the disco hall would be over run with teens and younger children. No one his own age.

But as his eyes slipped round to look forward again something caught his eye. A bright light which was separate from the disco. Turning back to look Bryan saw that the bright light which had caught his attention was actually an electric blue neon sign advertising the bar which it was adjoined to.

Bryan considered this, he knew that there was a bar back at the hotel, but this one appealed to him more. It seemed quieter and from the outside it looked more like the bars he went to back in his own country. The falcon found himself torn between visiting the bar or continuing on until he arrived at the beach.

"Where do you think they are Rei?" Max asked his Chinese teammate.

"I don't know Maxie, I'm sure they'll turn up soon." The neko answered. "You can't wait to go can you?" It was more a statement than a question as the neko noted how the blonde boy was fidgeting and bouncing himself on the balls of his feet as they waited for their teammates and friends.

"Nuh uh." Max shook his head as he continued to bounce himself. "Last night was so much fun, the music was great and we got to be with our friends too."

"I enjoyed myself too." Rei nodded. "I didn't expect to; discos were never really my thing. Too noisy and too many people in a small space. But last night was good."

"Yup. I love discos. I have so much fun." Max grinned but then it faltered slightly as a thought crossed his mind. "It's just a shame that Kai didn't go. We haven't really seen him since the flight." Rei smiled at his friend.

"I know Maxie but to be honest I really don't think he'll go to a disco. To the cinema maybe, or even to the arcades but I don't think he'd appreciate being dragged to a disco. He'd either tell us to get lost or sulk and be really irate for the entire time."

"Probably," The blonde American chuckled "And then if anyone pointed it out he'd be like 'I don't sulk!' and then he'd go off in an even bigger huff." Max and Rei both laughed at Max's Kai impression. "But it doesn't hurt to ask right?"

With a smile Rei sighed through his nose at his friend's hopeful and cheerful expression.

"No. No it wouldn't hurt to ask. But...just, just don't get too disappointed if he says no."

"I won't Rei don't worry." The neko jin patted the grinning blonde's shoulder.

"Hey guys." Kane, Salima, Goki and Jim approached the pair. "Hope we're not too late."

"Nah, we're still waiting for Tyson, Kenny and Hilary anyways."

"Oh good."

After a few moments Hilary approached, she was not alone but the company she kept was not those who had been expected. Instead of Tyson and Kenny, the small group with their female friend consisted of Julia, Raul, Miguel, Mathilda and Ozuma.

"Hi guys, sorry I'm late. Ran into a few friends and they wanted to come with us. I hope that's okay."

"Sure." Was the mutual answer.

"Where are Tyson and Kenny?"

"Still to come." Rei answered the brunette.

Curiousity won out and the falcon made his way off towards the building. As Bryan approached the entrance to the bar which sat under the large neon sign he figured that if he didn't like the place then he could just as easily leave and go to where he had originally planned on going.

Entering the falcon saw that as opposed to the flashy outside the inside was rather rustic. More like an old diner theme than anything modern. An old oak bar, wooden stools along the edge and then a few small booths all make of old but solid and well-kept wood.

'Like something out of the old west.' Bryan mused as he made his way up to the bar. The falcon had decided on staying for afew drinks before heading off. He got half way across the room when a sharp movement caught his eye.

A girl, not much younger than himself had just shoved a guy away from her. She had told him none too kindly to shove off but the guy was being persistant. He was obviously slightly drunk but not too far gone that he didn't know what he was doing.

This ticked Bryan off, he hated to see men trying to take advantage or force themselves onto women. He had planned to ignore it even though it pissed him off, it was none of his business and it would more than likely end up in a bit of a fight if the other guy was persistant enough. Just as he was about to overlook it though he recognised the girl.

She was one of the party of bladers from one of the lesser known teams. He searched for her name, or even the name of the team that she was on but came up short. All thoughts of overlooking it off now that he knew that she was one of them, he headed over.

The pushy man had just tried to put his hand on the girl's thigh but she had quickly blocked the hand. Grabbing his wrist and thrusting it away from her.

"Would you just fuck off and leave me alone. I am not interested!" She hissed through gritted teeth.

"Now come on baby, there's no need to be like that. You know you want me."

"Piss off!"

"Problems here?" Bryan asked as he stood at the girl's side, ever so slightly infront of her making his stance protective as he set a warning look on the guy in front of him.

"Nope. There ain't no problems here. Me n ma girl were jus' - "

"I am not your girl! I don't even know you. Now piss off." The girl argued.

"Oh come on baby, I - " The man went to move towards the irate female but Bryan stepped forward and haulted his advance.

"You heard her; piss off." When the man started to protest Bryan gave him a murderous glare, his crystaline blue eyes searing into the other stopping the drunk in his tracks and causing the man to stutter over himself. "Fuck off!" He growled.

The guy backed off and took the hint, he left stumbling over himself whilst trying to keep an eye on Bryan to make sure that the falcon wasn't following him out.

"Thanks for that, I thought he'd never leave." The voice diverted his attention from the retreating nuisance. Turning, Bryan looked to the girl and nodded, a small smile on his face.

"Don't mention it. If it'd one of my teammates getting harrassed then I would like to think that someone would help them too." Sitting down on the stool next to her Bryan looked up to see emerald eyes watching him.

Back at the hotel the disco bound group, now complete with the arrival of Tyson and Kenny, were making their way to the bar area. The group were in search of one Russian phoenix.

They found said phoenix sitting at a table with a few others. Eight to be exact. They were all seated at a big round table. Crusher sat with Spencer to his left and the pair were conversing together. Beside Spencer sat Ian, who was intently playing his nintendo DS. To the small Russian's left sat Tala who had his small charge in his lap, the little redhead sat on securely in Tala's lap leaning back against the man as he also played his DS whilst his guardian spoke to Kai, who was to their left. Next was Brooklyn who sat with Mystel who was on his other side and chatted away to the Egyptian boy. Last to complete the circle was Monica. She sat and was going between Mystel and Brooklyn's conversation and her brother and Spencer's.

As the group neared the table they caught Kai's attention. His eyes flicked to them and he said a last few words to his redheaded older brother before turning his head so that he was looking straight at them. He raised an eyebrow at the group.

"Hi Kai!" Max chirped as he waved enthusiastically. "Wanna go to the disco with us?"

"No thanks. I'll pass." Kai answered, his voice flat.

"Aw come on. It'll be fun. There's loads of cool people there, there's a bar, non-alcoholic of course, and there's a D.J so that you can go and ask for any songs you want played and we had so much fun last night. So whaddya say?"

"No." Kai again refused the invitation and leant back in his chair as if showing that he was quite comfy where he was and didn't intend on moving.

"Pleeeaaase." Max pleaded.

"No Max, I am not going. I thought that you would have figured out by now that that kind of thing isn't my idea of a good time; too noisy, far too many people and a serious lack of personal space. Not exactly endearing." Max pouted, accepting that Kai wasn't up for it at all. It saddened him that Kai was yet again skipping out on them but he knew that if he pushed Kai then it would only make the phoenix mad and have him distance himself further.

"What about you guys?" Max asked, directing his question to the other teens.

"No thanks, I think I'll give it a miss as well."

"Oh come on Brookie, let loose for once. Come with me." Mystel coaxed as he stood from his chair beckoning the ginger haired boy up.

"Oh alright then." Brooklyn sighed as he stood up as well. "Are you joining us Monica?"

"Okay."

"You be careful Monica. Don't over exert yourself." Crusher warned as his younger sister stood to join the disco-goers.

"I wont."

"Don't worry Crusher. We'll look out for her." Mystel said 'we' meaning himself and Brooklyn. Crusher nodded trusting his teammates.

"See that you do." The large man said before turning back to continue his prior conversation with Spencer.

"Ian? Daichi?" Max asked. Ian shook his head no with a grunt as he concentrated hard on his game. Daichi leant further back into Tala as he looked up from his DS.

"Nope." The small boy shook his head and felt Tala run a hand through his hair at the back of his head in response to having the small boy lean heavier on his chest. This affectionate and reassuring gesture did not go unnoticed by the Bladebreakers.

They were slightly taken aback and awe struck that such a bond had been formed between the pair in such a short time. Over the few days that the large group of bladers had been on holiday and even the previous week before hand when the Blitzkreig Boyz had stayed with the Bladebreakers, the preteen's teammates had noticed how much time the pair spent together. Even if their attention was not always on one another they were still usually in one another's presence. And if a significant amount of time had passed whilst they were separated then one would seek the other out just to see how the other was doing.

They were very much relaxed about how they acted to one another and they seemed very atuned to one another. Tala could always tell when Daichi was upset or if there was something wrong and viceversa. The wolf always seemed to know what his little charge needed whether it be material, physical or emotional.

Their relationship had introduced the Bladebreakers to another side of Tala, previously the team had yet to see Tala's paternal side. Sure Tala was very parternal towards Kai the majority of the time but it was usually kept behind closed doors when anyone else was around apart from the Blitzkreig Boyz but that was more due to Kai than anything else. Whereas with Daichi it was very much out in the open.

On the one hand the Bladebreakers were happy for Daichi; it was nice for the little redhead to finally have someone that he could rely on and that was willing to dedicate so much of their time to him but they were sad that they seemed to be losing their friend and teammate. While he had been welcomed and liked whilst living with the Grangers, Daichi hadn't really settled there and hadn't felt like he truely belonged there. After the death of both of his parents the little redhead had felt lost and confused and hadn't really known what to do with himself.

But now it seemed that the little redhead was very much content in the lap of his guardian.

"Okay then." Max said alittle down hearted that no more people would be joining them. After saying their goodbyes the larger group left leaving the smaller group, of now only five, in peace.

The peaceful air lasted afew more moments before it was broken by a frusterated Ian.

"Aww man." The small Russian complained. "And I got really far that time too."

Tala turned as the the little boy sighed heavily, an angered expression on his young face. "What's wrong Ian?"

"I died." Ian stated glumly as he flopped back into his chair.

"Were you close to winning?"

"I don't know. Every time I think I've completed a level it just goes on and on. It's like the level never ends." Ian stressed.

Tala smiled sympathetically. "Maybe you should give it a rest for the night Ian. And you too." He added as an after though, gently nudging the small boy in his lap. "You've been playing that thing all day, maybe you should turn it off for the night." When the two began to protest, the wolf thought of a different tactic. "No I mean it. You two have been on those things all day and your going to end up ruining your eyes with them. But I'll tell you what, you two turn your DS' off without anymore fuss and I'll give you money so that you can go and get yourselves juice and a sweet."

It took the boys but a second to think it over before Ian switched his console off and Daichi began saving his game so that he could turn his off too. Tala shuffled Daichi slightly so that he could reach into his pocket for the money there. He brought a couple of euros worth of money.

Once the smaller redhead had saved and terminated his game he slid off his guardian's lap and put his console onto the table next to Ian's.

When Tala had both the preteens' attention he held the money out. "That should be enough to get you a bottle of juice and a sweet each, but no more than that okay because it's getting late." Both nodded and Ian went to take the money. Just as the shorter Russian did so Tala's grip tightened around the notes.

"Be careful okay?" He said addressing both boys. "We don't need or want a repeat of what happened last time. Ask for help if you need anything, do not go climbing up on things, understand?" When he recieved a nod from both boys, the wolf released the money into Ian's awaiting hand. Both boys walked off in the direction of the little hotel shop that was still open.

"What about you?" The wolf asked the phoenix who was now engrossed in one of his books.

"What about me?" Tala rolled his eyes at Kai's inattentativeness.

"Do you want to go and get something for yourself?" Kai shook his head.

"No thanks, I still feel really full from dinner." Tala felt for Kai, he knew that his younger brother was having difficulty coming to terms with the change of his eating habits. Although they all knew it was in Kai's best interests, the boy included, the phoenix was having a hard time eating decent amounts of food, it always left him feeling overly full, bloated and feeling like he might throw it back up. Having a full stomach also left him feeling overtly tired.

"It'll get easier you know." Tala said and Kai nodded; he knew this. Even with the few decent meals he had had it was becoming ever so slightly easier each time, but it would be a long time before he was used to it and comfortable with it.

"I know, but that doesn't help me now does it?"

"Actually I've been thinking about that." Tala and Kai looked to the source of the voice. "Whadya say I make afew extra sandwiches or roles at lunch or grab a few bits extra pizza and put them in the upstairs fridge and then you can eat them inbetween meals. That way you don't have to eat till your stuffed at lunch or dinner. It will be 'little and often portions' as opposed to all at once."

Kai thought about the whale's proposition and found that he liked the idea. It was a good plan and he would much rather that than feeling like he had to regurgitate from eating too much.

The phoenix looked back up at his father figure and nodded with a look of appreciation on his face. Spencer smiled knowingly.

"I thought you'd prefer that idea. It'll make it easier on your stomach and I think it will be a better way for you."

After the pleasantries of introductions had passed Bryan and the girl, whom he found out was named Mariam and that she was from the Saint Sheilds team, bought themselves drinks and headed to a small two seater booth away from the few open ears around the bar.

"So how are you enjoying the holiday then?" Bryan asked before sipping his drink. Mariam had been drinking her bottled refreshment through a straw when the question arose. The falcon noted that the question brought a flash of happiness to her eyes.

Quickly swallowing her mouthful Mariam nodded enthusiastically. "It's been great." Her voice seemed less enthusiastic than her expression but maybe that was just her way, she didn't seem to Bryan like an overly excitable person. " It really has. I was surprised that we even got an invite at all actually."

Bryan rose an inquisitive eyebrow.

"We only participated in one tournament and not even the most recent one at that, I thought that maybe we would have been forgotten about but Mr Dickinson knew us from outside the tournament. Or knew of us I should say. I think the Bladebreakers told him quite abit about us. The only real time we met him outside the tournament was on the island and even then it wasn't in the best of situations. You look like you know what I'm talking about." Mariam noted with a confused air when she noticed Bryan nodding his head softly as he took a sip of his beer, his expression was more of recollection than discovery.

"Yeah, we heard all about that from Kai, during the tournament and out. About your team and the Psychic team, and the cyber bitbeasts and so on."

Mariam nodded her head thoughtfully. When she spoke again her voice was distant as she mulled through her thoughts. "Yeah...I am surprised that our team or team Psychic were invited along," snapping out of her revierie, the shark looked up at the falcon, alert and happy again. "but I am glad that we were. In the beginning I was worried that we might find it difficult to fit in just because everyone else seemed to know one another but already we seem to have surpassed that problem; Joseph has found kids his own age and is really happy with his new friends. Dunga's been hanging out with that Rick character from ... the All Starz was it?"

Bryan nodded.

"And also some other guy that I have no clue about, I am not even sure if he's a member of one of the teams. Ozuma has been hanging around with the Bladebreakers, Johnny and afew others and I've made friends with Julia. We had never met before but we met by chance in the caf in the airport and we just...clicked, like really quickly. She is a good friend." Mariam trailed off, thinking about her friend.

The pair sat in a comfortable silence for a few moments until Mariam spoke again.

"So what about you?"

"Hm?" Mariam chuckled as the falcon was knocked from his daze.

"I asked 'What about you?' "

Bryan nodded. "Sure, it's been good I guess, I mean I've enjoyed being able to relax. I can't remember the last time the team just did nothing for a while. But then there's been...afew...complications. And in some ways, it's kinda put a damper on things."

"Complications?"

"Not something that I really want to talk about at the moment." There was a slight apologetic thread to his more or less blunt voice.

"Okay. I can understand that." Bryan nodded in thanks to her for not trying to push the subject further.

"So how come your team weren't playing in the tournament this year?"

"We had...we had a few problems to sort out back home, they got in the way of everything to do with our training and beyblading career. To be honest I didn't really think that we'd be going to another tournament. But somethings have been cleared up and it looks as though we might be able to enter again next year." Mariam sounded cheerfully hopeful at the idea and Bryan allowed a small smile to pass over his lips briefly before he reached for his drink.

It was getting later into the night and the group in the disco were having a blast. They were really enjoying themselves and each other's company. So engrossed in their fun they were that they failed to notice two of their own stealthily slip out of the disco hall.

The two made it round to the back of the building, the girl leading the boy by the hand to the place that was out of sight. Once reaching their destination the girl turned to face the boy and he wasted no time pushing her against the wall and sealing his mouth to hers.

They didn't bother with any pretalk or gentle foreplay. They had been here many times before. But in saying that this was the first time in a long time that they had had the chance to be alone like this and they were hungry for one another. Neither was wasting a moment of their prescious time.

His hand was clamped around the back of her head, the other arm was tight around her lower back, binding her body to his so that there was almost no part of their bodies not touching. Her hand slid up his top, briefly running her fingers over his well formed abs, the action making him moan gently and tighten his grip on her. She then slid her hand upwards and round to his back, palming and massaging the furm muscles there. Her other hand gripped his jaw, gently yet tightly at the same time, pulling his mouth coser to hers, if that was at all possible.

Both boy and girl fed off each other in a hot frenzy brought on by their separation and by their desire for one another. Both panting but unwilling for the kiss to end just yet as their hands traced molten patterns on the other's body.

Eventually, no matter how reluctant, the pair had to separate. Both were breathing heavily as they rested their foreheads together and gazed into each other's eyes. Golden honey met sky blue.

Removing the hand from his top, the girl brought said limb up to run her fingers through his spikey blonde hair whilst keeping her other hand on his jaw, but now instead of tightly grasping, she was now gently massaging.

And instead holding her bindingly to him, the hand at the back of her head now cupped it softly and the hand at her lower back was now lightly caressing her back over her clothes.

"Hello." He whispered. The girl giggled.

"Hello."

"Maybe that should have come first." He mused, causing the girl to giggle again.

"Probably." She admitted giving a very small nod, so as not to break their position and looking out of the corner of her eye in a thoughtful pose. "But I can't say I am complaining." She grinned toothily.

"No, definetely not." The blonde agreed before whispering. "I missed you."

"Oh, I missed you too." The pair came together for a slow, sweet kiss, not breaking eye contact at all. When their lips parted their foreheads stayed together and they continued to look into each other's eyes for a few seconds until golden honey eyes looked down and their owner sighed.

"Are you alright?" The boy asked, concerned. The girl nodded almost glumly.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just...I just hate that we have to sneek around like this. We would be able to see alot more of one another if out relationship was out in the open."

"I have suggested that - "

"I know. I know. It's not your fault that out relationship is in the dark, it's mine. And as much as I want us to go public I'm afraid of what my brother will do when he finds out. He'll go crazy and try to stop us seeing one another."

Seeing that his girlfriend's eyes shone in the lights and that she was close to tears, the blonde took his girlfriend's face gently in his hands and kissed her softly, once on the forehead and then again on the lips, the blonde pulled back and looked sincerely into the golden orbs.

"Mariah...I know that you are afraid and that you are worried about what your brother might do, but I can honestly say that whatever he does do won't scare me away. As long as you want me I am here. I won't leave until you order me away."

"Oh Mystel." Mariah whispered as the blonde Egyptian pulled her into a comforting embrace and kissed her head as she clung to him for dear life.

After a few hours in the pub together Bryan and Mariam leave. It's getting late and both of their teammates will be wondering where they have gotten to. As they walk up the path leaving the bar Mariam stops abruptly.

"What? What's the matter?" The falcon asks.

Mariam points to where she is looking. Bryan follows the direction of her finger and a smirk adorns his face. There standing near the disco entrance is Ozuma eating the face off a girl more or less the same age from what the pair can tell. Not much can be seen of the girl as she is mostly covered by Ozuma and the wall but from the little they can see, Bryan and Mariam can tell that she has charcoal skin and long hair that goes past her bum. She also seems to have a good figure but the can't tell entirely.

Mariam is finally over the shock of seeing Ozuma like that and managed to snap her mouth closed and drop her hand back to her side.

"Wow, I've never seen Ozuma snogging someone like that before. Infact I don't even think I've seen him kiss a girl let alone that."

Bryan chuckled. "He seems to be doing alright for himself."

"Yeah. No kidding." The shark commented before beginning to walk on.

The shark and the falcon walked together until they reached the hotel and went their separate ways. Bryan off to the bar to find his brothers and Mariam up to the room she shared with her teammates.

The grey haired Russian found his family exactly where he thought he would; where he'd left them hours ago. They were still sitting at that round table. Spencer and Crusher still chatting away to one another, alhough Ian was now half asleep leaning against the whale's side, with the blonde's arm draped over the small Russian holding Ian to him and supporting him. Tala sat talking to a tired Kai, who looked to be struggling to stay awake, while his small charge slept in his lap. Tala had reclined somewhat so that Daichi could sleep comfortably against his chest. The little redhead was sitting in Tala's lap, facing Tala with his legs either side of the wolf''s and was cuddled into the older redhead's chest, thumb in his mouth and the other hand gripping Tala's top in his sleep.

Bryan sat down in Brooklyn's previously vacated seat next to Kai. As he sat he ruffled the half zonked teen's hair and smirked when Kai scowled and feebily tried to swat his hand away.

"So where did you end up?" The wolf asked as he had one arm wrapped loosely around Daichi's bum so that he didn't slide or fall and the other way gently and slowly rubbing the sleeping child's back.

"Just wandering around really."

"You "wandered" around for 3 hours?" The redhead's tone clearly showing how doubtful of that claim he was. With a grunt Bryan nodded and then he realised what Tala had said.

"3 hours? Really? It's 11 o'clock?" When Tala nodded Bryan chuckled. "Well no wonder they're all falling asleep." The falcon said, indicating to the three younger ones. "Bed time for them I think."

Spencer, Bryan and Tala all nodded in agreement.

"All right Kai, come on. Up." Bryan ordered as he stood. Kai groaned but obeyed none the less. Said teen hauled himself up as Tala rose slowly, careful not to jostle his sleeping charge and wake the child. He settled Daichi so that his head was resting on his shoulder.

Bryan picked up the now comatosed Ian settling him so that the little boy was comfortable.

"I'll be up shortly. I won't be long." Spencer informed and Bryan nodded.

"Just don't have any more drunken make outs, try it without the booze it'll be so much better, but don't get carried away and don't go too far." Bryan teased.

"You are so lucky that I can't be bothered getting up to smack you." Spencer commented dryly and Bryan grinned.

"I know. That's why I made sure I was a safe distance away first."

"Get lost."

"Come on Bryan." Said falcon turned to see everyone waiting for him.

"Night Spence." Bryan said in an enthusiastic voice. Spencer just grunted and decided to ignore him which made the falcon chuckle as he turned to join his bed bound brothers.

"So what did you end up doing while you were "Wandering around" then?" The falcon rolled his eyes and sighed at how Tala was still emphasising the words like he didn't believe them, but answered the wolf none-the-less.

"Just looking to see what there was around here, which isn't alot really. I think Dickinson pretty much covered everything when he spoke to us before he left. Although there are afew small shops just down from the hotel that you could take Daichi to in the morning."

"Where abouts?"

"Just along from the theatre. I'll show you tomorrow." The two men continued to chat as they carried the sleeping children off to bed with a sleepy Kai following close behind.
