Run

One hundred twelve

I put a towel around Cheongsan, "you know there's such a thing call phones right?"
"I wanted to check on you in person!" He says.
Alastor enters. His spikes are in his eyes.
"You two are going to get sick you know that?" I say.
"I didn't know it was gonna come a flood."
He lights himself on fire to dry off.
"And I honestly I just didn't care I just wanted to come." Cheongsan says.
"Hungry? I'm gonna cook— careb?!"
"You know him?" I ask.
"This is sloth... remember how when I was teaching you magic I mentioned the sins and saints? Yeah this is one of the sins."
"Oh!" I say.
"Yeah."
"I am hungry though." I say.
"I'll make dinner."
I nod. He leaves for the kitchen as careb digs through the bag. I look over at him. He finds the corn and starts eating it. I chuckle.
"Soooooo coooo goooooood."
"That's good!" I say.
He curls up and falls asleep.
"He's definitely sleep deprived."
I nod.
"Let him sleep."
I nod. He walks in with food. We go eat.
"It's good."
I nod. Alastor now seems a bit distressed from the situation.
"Are you ok?"
"Just stressed and confused."
I nod.
"It's gonna be okay though."
I nod. He hugs me. I hug him back.
"It's okay I promise."
"Careb thought we were dating."
"No brothers."
"Yeah I told him we are not we're both straight." I chuckle.
Careb is completely out. I smile.
"He's gonna be asleep for at least two days."
I nod, "poor thing."
"Yeah definitely he has to have at least 14 hours of sleep."
I nod. He sighs softly.  I smile. Cheongsan shivers. Alastor walks over lighting himself back On fire and both drying Cheongsan off and warming him up.
"Thanks." He says.
"No problem."
I smile.
"Anyways, I'm gonna head onto bed and sort school supplies in the morning."
I nod.
"Is it ok if I spend the night?" Cheongsan asks.
"Uh sure... just give me a minute to clean out the extra guest room. I only have mine, Gyeongsu's, and one guest and I ain't gonna let you sleep on the couch."
"Do you want me to help?" He asks.
"No I got it!"
"Are you sure?" He asks.
"Yes. I'm sure you're a guest at my house."
"I don't mind helping though." He says.
"I don't mind doing because it's also my house."
He nods. He disappears for five minutes then comes back.
"Okay."
He goes and lays down. I go to bed too. As I truly start to fall asleep I see Alastor for a half a second. He tucks me in then he's gone without a word.

The next morning

I wake to being fully tucked in. I sit up. He's singing softly. I walk out of my room.
"Hi."
"Hey."
"You hungry? Making breakfast."
I nod. He hands me a plate of bacon and eggs. I eat. Suddenly we hear screaming. Sloth runs in and cries.
"What's wrong?"
"You're gonna be mad are you? You're mad"
"About what?" I ask.
Cheongsan walks in and stretches.
"I slept too late right? I'm gonna be punished?"
"What?" I ask.
He panics hardly.
"You're fine! You're ok!" I say.
"No! No I'm not."
"Yes you are."
He's having a full on melt down. Alastor bends down seeing as he's only 5' at the tallest. I look over.
"It's okay... the only thing in at all upset about is that you aren't asleep. You're a sleepy type."
I smile.
"Come on back to bed with ya," Alastor says as he picks him up.
I continue eating. Alastor returns sighing softly. I sigh.
"Well at least he's asleep"
I nod. He sighs and relaxes. I continue eating. He finally starts eating. I look over.
"What's wrong"?
"Are you ok?"
"Oh yeah I'm fine"
I nod.
"How are you?"
"I'm fine. How are you?"
"Okay."
I nod.
"Anyways gonna clean a bit."
I nod. He gets up to clean.
"Do you need my help?"
"No. I've got it."
"Are you sure?"
"I've got it although i need to finishing cleaning out the rooms."
"I can help with that?"
"No it's fine. You need to be energized for magic training!"
"But!"
"Don't worry about it okay I've got it."
I nod. He walks out then returns thirty minutes later. I sigh.
"Done now are you ready?"
I nod.
"Let's go!"
I nod. He leads me to the big room. I look around.
"Ready?"
I nod. We sit down. As he smiles and creates several small cards.
"What's that for?"
"It'll help strengthen your inlying magic. I got them so it could become physical. I don't know your magic type though."
I nod.
"So I got all the ones I could find."
I nod.
"So which one interests you?"
I look at the cards. There's several of them but this one looks interesting. I don't know why. I point at the one I find interesting. He motions for me to take it. I take it. It glows then disappears into my hand turning into what looks like ghost.
Card of the clairvoyant. You can predict the future when focused, can see and speak to spirits, fae, and other such beings.
"That's cool!"
"Hm?"
"Oh nothing."
"Okay?"
I smile. There's a spirit standing behind him he looks a lot like a sloth as he almost patrols between the direction also took careb. I look down.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh nothing."
"You sure? You seem down."
"I'm fine."
"Okay?"
I look away.
"Are you sure your okay?"
I nod.
"Okay?"
I sigh.
"Okay, I'm gonna just go check on everything and make lunch."
I nod. He leaves the room. I look down. He comes back with food. I eat.
"Get some sleep."
I nod.
"Nap time Kiddo."

Razral's POV

Who is that? I sigh. That lion guy looks kinda familiar. But how? That temperance girl is staying very close to him I know that much. I sigh. Why is he clutching that jar so tightly? Is it something important? He looks at me and growls almost as if he's afraid I'll take it from him.
"I won't take it from you."
"How do I know that?"
I sigh. The voice is very familiar. Who is he? He growls. I sigh. He bounds off on all fours. I look down.
"What's wrong?" Adalyn asks.
"Nothing."
"Okay Razral.."
I smile. She hugs me tiredly. I hug her back.
"We better get to class."
I nod. We get to class. I sit down. I see the lion boy. He won't let go of the jar. I sigh. He looks down.

After class

The lion runs. What is in that thing? It seems to just be dirt. But I don't know. I sigh. Adalyn looks over at the group. I look over.
"Try touching him not taking the jar but patting his back."
"What if he bites my arm off?"
"...I won't let him."
I nod. I go pat his back. He goes to scratch me but his claws rapidly turn into hands familiar hands. I look down. Wait that's saveron!
"Saveron?"
"Don't know! Who you are! Don't hurt me!"
"What?"
He roars again, "am lionin me thinks."
"What does that mean?"
"What you do to beautiful mane?!"
"What do you mean?"
He points to his neck. Was he tricked into believing he had a mane? He must have been.
"Dont Touch me"
"I'm sorry."
