As soon as the old woman left, Allura fell asleep almost instantly, missing the muffled coughing noises that came from Akira's room moments after. Unlike her companion, Allura's dreams were plagued with images of humans being killed without mercy and forced to do work day in and day out like slaves. Blood seemed to coat every scene until all she saw was red.The haughty laughter of demons and the screams of dying people made her toss and turn restlessly until she could no longer stay asleep. Opening her eyes, the angel was surprised to see that it was actually morning instead of night. She managed to sleep through the whole night but it wasn't a good sleep and she still found herself somewhat tired as she climbed out of bed. The bow that she used to keep her hair tied back managed to break through the night, releasing the long dark strands to fall into her face. Sighing, a bit, Allura pushed the strands from her face and then put her face in her hands, trying to figure out where that dream came from. [I]I've never had a dream like that before...is it supposed to be some sort of premonition of what is to come if I don't kill Akira?[/I]

The thought made her even more confused than she was before and Allura decided not to worry about it too much just yet, not when the delicious smell of food was coaxing her to the kitchen. After making the bed and straightening up her clothes as best as she could, Allura walked out of the room and was surprised to see that Akira had beaten her to the table. [I]I must have been sleep longer than I thought.[/I] She thought as she smiled tiredly at him. Allura then greeted the old woman before sitting down in the seat next to Akira. "How are you feeling today?" The angel asked him softly and glanced down at the area where his wound would have been if she had not healed it the day before; however, something didn't seem right. [I]What...? Is that extra blood?[/I] Narrowing her eyes curiously, gently grabbed his shirt, rubbing her finger across the blood stain, watching as some of the more fresh blood peeled off, revealing more blood underneath.

"I told you that she'd notice." A voice called from behind Allura and, when she turned, she noticed that the old woman was busy putting food onto plates. "You must have used it to find me yesterday in the market." She hadn't wondered at the time how he'd managed to find her so easily but now she knew why. "You don't have to hide it from me, you know." The angel said softly as she removed her hand from his shirt. "I may not be able to stop it, but I can at least be there to help you once it's over." Allura could remember the first time he'd done it and how much blood he ended up coughing up afterwards. Before she could say anything else, the old woman sat down a plate of breakfast in front of the both of them before taking a seat across from them.

"Do you two still plan on leaving today as you planned before?" The woman asked as she pushed her eggs around on her plate with her fork. [I]Straight to business, as expected.[/I] The angel thought to herself and then glanced over to Akira, raising an eyebrow as she did so. We're they still planning to leave or had their plans been delayed by previous events? She had decided that she would talk it out with Akira once they got back but things did not go as planned the day before.
