The only ones who weren't asleep are the ones dead downstairs, he wanted us to start and doubt our surroundings and the people here so we'd split up and head our own ways. I suggest against that and I have a method that will keep us safe, also welcome honey I'm back.” Lye’s sudden voice filling the room had both vampires turning to face the still open door, their eyes blinking in unison. She smelled of the forest and a bit of mint, her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were narrowed. Kieran noted that she seemed exhausted and that she held something in one of her hands. 

“What are those?” Ryanair asked and Kieran was grateful that he did, Lye blinked and glanced down at her hand. She opened her palm and a blue crystal caught their attention, Lye clicked her tongue and nodded. 

“These are what I've been working on since my arrival here. They're called Ward Crystals and are helpful in keeping out others that aren't welcome are are consumed by darkness. I just finished them and have scattered that around the grounds, so if you feel a slight chill around you know that it's just that he crystals and that they mean no harm.” Kieran blinked when she moved forward,  her head tilting to the side as she paused near his side. Ryanair rose and moved to stand beside her, Kieran didn't even do much as wince when her hand fell on his chest. The crystal in her hand began to glow then, a soothing chill filling his body. 

“Ly-” Ryanair began, only to pause when the Mage clicked her tongue and half-turned to face him. 

“I'm temporarily healing him, get me new clothes so we can move him to another room. From there we'll help out below and then clean this up, The crystals will keep anyone out and my partner will keep watch tonight.” Ryanair remained still for a moment before doing as she instructed him to, soon Kieran could somewhat move and his clothes were clean and bloodless. He didn't much want to move but Lye was having none of it and soon he was on his feet and allowing Ryanair to guide him. He had the still glowing crystal in his hand -Lye hadn't really given him the option- and was glad to leave the copper smelling room, he wouldn't have been able to sleep there anyway. 

They stood in the hallway for a moment before Ryanair began to lead him forward. The house eerily silent as they moved. [/center]
