Shrike simply looked up at her, "Three days in a row....I've pulled out that form......if I spend a week without using it, things would have been......different........" With that, he lost consciousness.

Grey smiled, and quickly began to eat his food quickly, rubbing his leg against hers below the table, a smile on his face.

Nijuu tried to finish her food, without blushing, or choking while Grey rubbed his leg against hers.

Amalia sighed heavily, as she leaned Frost up against a tree. 'Looks like I'll be here for a bit.' She thought to herself, as she took to the air to find her belongings. Once she had found her belongings, she returned to the lake, and pulled out the pillow, tucking it under the 'lazy bones' head.

Grey had finished his meal shortly after his parents had left the room. He seemed at ease, sitting next to Nijuu, a sort of peace surrounding him.

Shrike was still paralyzed on the ground, completely out of energy from the overuse of his reactive armor.

Nijuu finished the food on her plate, even though she was full long before her plate was empty. "I couldn't eat another bite." Nijuu exhaled slowly.

Amalia pulled out the blanket, and placed it on top of the lazy bones, then set off to find fire wood. 'I guess I'll be staying here for the night.' She thought to herself.

Zenith nodded.
"Yes, thank you. You said the room was basic, but it's far more than I could have hoped for when I came." Zenith looked down for a moment, but quickly returned her gaze to Marcus.

Marcus shrugged, "This place is paid for by thousands of years of saving, so I think that it should be no problem for me to provide at least the most basic comfort to my students. Since it was made, this school, has prevented the deaths of hundreds of thousands of knights and other such humanoids, because of the safety is has provided. And the training too."

Grey placed his hand on her stomach, "I bet my dear....now....would you like to go outside, and look up at the stars?"

In his sleep, Shrike body seemed to change, his body completely reverting back to normal, though in the process, several intense scars developed all over his body.

Nijuu nodded her head once. "I would love that." She smiled.

Amalia built a fire, then walked over to the lake. She could see the fish swimming around, darting this way and that. "So...fish." She thought out loud, then set to work on a make-shift fishing rod.

Grey calmly stood up, washed their dishes, then took her hand, and led her right outside, toward where the night sky was blaring down at the ground. Without warning, he simply flopped down on the ground on his back, and patted the ground next to himself after taking off his coat.

Shrike slowly began to awaken, his right arm completely lacking flesh at the moment.

Nijuu's eyes seemed to glow under the moonlight, as she sat down on the ground next to Grey. "The air seems so fresh tonight." She spoke, as she looked up at the stars. "My father and I used to do this when I was little." She added, then looked at Grey. "We'd lay on the ground, like you are now, and just watch the sky. I didn't know it then, but he was teaching me the same way his parents had taught him."

Amalia, after catching a fish big enough to share with the lazy bones, walked back to the fire. Not noticing that the lazy bones was awake, she sat down across from him, gutted the fish, then placed the fish on what looked like a grilling rack over the fire.

Grey looked over to her, "Its a very calming thing to do my dear......it must allow you quite a lot of time to think." He lifted up her hand, and kissed it, "I wish I could thank your father myself......for raising such a wonderful daughter......."

Flesh began to redevelop on his arm, though Shrike hid the fact that he was awake underneath the shroud that covered his eyes.

Nijuu blushed, and giggled softly. "Oh, I think my father wouldn't like you very much." She said playfully.

Amalia flipped the cooking fish on the grill, then sat back down on the ground. She looked out at the lake, as the moon came into view of the water. She took a deep breath, as she stared out at the water. "Father..." she whispered.

Grey smiled softly, "I wonder what he'd think of what we did this morning?" He teased.

Shrike said aloud, finally awake, "Had I been born fifty years earlier, your father wouldn't have died....sorry......for being a worthless Grimm........." His voice was very faint.

Amalia wiped something off her face and looked at the Grimm. "It was my fault he died....and I didn't know he was dead until I got Frost." She pointed to her weapon, leaning against a tree. "I didn't mean to blame you...I was angry, and I said that in the heat of the moment. It was wrong, and I apologize."

Nijuu looked at Grey and kissed him gently. "He'd probably kill you for thinking that way about his little girl." She whispered.

Grey smiled, "I'd die a happy young man, just being able to know you my dear."

Shrike replied, "A Grimm is suppose to uphold the law of balance...we cannot kill, or save lives, unless the life that is taken balances out with the death that would have been inflicted.......a cruel rule........eh?"

"Extremely." Amalia replied, as she stood up. "I hope you like fish." She said to the Grimm. "It would've been something better; but I wasn't sure how long you'd be out."

Nijuu smiled, and kissed Grey again, more passionately this time. "I'd rather you live." She told him when she broke the kiss.

Grey smiled, "I'd rather live too, that way.....I can spend the rest of my life with you......." He lifted her up, and set her down on his lap, before leaning up and kissing her with the same level of passion as she had kissed him.

Shrike shook his head, "You eat......I gotta........I gotta eat one of my bars back at the academy, using that form requires a massive upkeep of calories, about twenty thousand per use.....I've got some energy bars around that level of intensity, but I haven't got one on me."

Amalia looked at the Grimm. "This fish isn't for me." She told him. "It's for you." She added.

Nijuu could feel Grey taking her breath away, as she wrapped her arms around him; but this time, instead of doing what she did last time, she decided to take her breath back, by kissing him with more passion, and more force.

Grey wrapped his arms around her as well, and grinned slightly as she kissed him with a bit more force. When finally their lips departed, he simply said, "You are so beautiful......both in body and soul."

Shrike took the fish from her, and tiredly nibbled at it, "I wasn't trying to insult your gift....sorry if you interpreted it that way........"

Amalia shook her head. "It's okay." She spoke coldly, as she walked over to Frost. She could feel tears attempting to break the surface of her eyes, so she kept her back turned to the Grimm.

Nijuu placed her hand on Grey's chest, trying to hide the fact that she was starting to blush again. "I don't know if I'll ever be able to listen to you telling me how beautiful I am without blushing." She whispered softly. "I hope it doesn't bother you." She added, as she moved her blue gaze to meet Grey's eyes.

Grey grinned again, "I love seeing you blush! How could I not love seeing your face go red?" And with that, he started to kiss her neck.

Shrike saw her aura fluctuate, and simply said, "Your on the verge of tears, your aura reveals this, and yet you try to hide it. There's a reason I keep this cloth over my eyes." He pointed to his veiled eyes.

Nijuu closed her eyes, enjoying Grey's lips upon her neck, this time trying not to giggle at the sensation it gave her, as she gripped the sleeves of his shirt in her hands.

Amalia, angry at what the Grimm had said, grabbed Frost. "You know, some people don't like having their laundry aired by others." She hissed lowly.

Shrike sighed, "I'm very sorry......" With that, he removed the cloth from his eyes, and opened them for the first time in months, revealing a set of white eyes, though the area around his eyes looked like they'd been burnt to a crisp several hundred times. "For you, I'll just look with my own eyes......." He didn't want to admit this, but keeping his eyes open was extremely painful.

Grey continued to kiss her neck, and used his hands to unstrap the front of her kimono, exposing her chest and stomach, "Your skin is like silk in the form of flesh."

"Grey..." Nijuu breathed, trying not to blush more.

Amalia lowered her head slightly. "It's not necessary." She stated flatly.

While kissing her, he looked up at her and replied, "Something wrong Nijuu?"

Shrike shook his head, "Aura sight is a cruel advantage that reapers have over the many other races of this world, gives us full reign to mess with our opponents emotions, I am truly sorry for not taking into account your emotions."
