[center]At the familiar sounding footsteps nearing them, Ryanair felt himself relax slightly in the ever tightening hold around his wrist.  At Clara's appearance in the doorframe, Ryanair allowed his desperation to be seem. At her words the fingers around his wrist flexed for a moment before letting go, he didn't move from his spot though he wanted to bolt. 

“You do have a point…” That was all he needed to hear. He stepped forward until he stood beside Clara, and if he was slightly behind her no one would be the wiser. He stayed for a moment with hesitation warring with his urgency to get away from Kieran, her words did have a point and so with a discreet press of his fingers to her arm he swiftly left the room. The kitchen was a welcome sight and with it, he noticed Ynez helping Isabella with something. They paused when they noticed him lingering in the hall, both smiled and gestured him inside.

Kieran blinked and flexed his fingers before crossing both his arms. His head tilted as he watched the girl -Clara- before him, his expression never changing.  He felt a flare of irritation and curiosity as her words filled his ears, his lips pulled into a twisted grin before he shrugs and begins to move around her. 

She wasn't easily broken. At least that's what the voices were whispering in his ears, he stilled for a moment before a tune began to fall from his lips. He wanted to go lay down for a bit, someplace quiet and dark. His steps were quick but quiet as he moved forward and towards the foyer, his hands in his pockets as he climbed the stairs. 

As he reached the top step, his knees buckled when a sharp twinge raced down the back of his skull. His eyes blinked rapidly before he rose to his feet and reached for his bedroom door. He suddenly felt dizzy and sick to his stomach, his head pounding like someone had hit him with a hammer several times. He laid down and curled into a ball, his head cradled in both of his arms. 

Why the fuck did his head hurt? And why could be not remember anything since the night they'd gone to track down the Mage?[/center]
