Toby's eyes suddenly went ide as he heard something rather incriminating. He turned round to the source of it and looked at the burly beautiful man in the corner, who he hadn't paid much attention to before. "Stop thinking that! Aaa....Oh now I'm scarred for life." Toby said, covering his ears, which didn't really work. Muraki winced when Esther began to whine about the colour. He liked things that were white, they were pure and clean. And they didn't distract him when he was trying to look through them and around the city. He didn't bother to explain this and simply batting away her apologies, sadly continuing pouring drinks.

Hugh screwed his face up and tried not to think, which wasn’t easy and defiantly didn’t work. Only made him run over incriminating tidings he shouldn’t think about more quickly. “I wouldn’t have to if you kept quiet about being able to here me” he insisted, trying to stop thinking. “oooh? Hughe’s thinking bad things? What’s he thinking toby?” she asked. Hugh’s eyes flew open and started at the woman “Esther?!” he whined “that’s disgraceful!” Ester smiled “gods gets to be all knowing, I just wondered what it was like” she retorted, pulling a cute face. /don’t think of Ester naked…..hehehehehe….Ok stop that!….definitely don’t thinking of that time I walked in on Abel either, or last night…Oh sh- ….. ok just stop thinking…..hey I stopped!..../DAMN IT/. Hugh whined audibly and considered hiding in the lab for a while. ”what are you thinking Hugh, your cheeks have gone all red!” she teased.

Toby laughed to himself, wiping his eyes when he began to cry, his face red with trying to control himself. Eventually, he managed to stifle his giggles and look a little bit more normal. "His thoughts are....private. although I must say Esther, hiding under all those clothes does nothing for that fabulous figure under there!" He say, and then erupted into giggles again, joined by Muraki whose laugh was like a bellow, choking every now and again and stopping to cough. "Toby! Try not to pry on people's thoughts so much, remember I can also see things other's can't, despite how many clothes you wear aswell." He winked and began to laugh again at Toby's look of pure shock, giggling nervously.

Hugh stiffened up against the wall when the boy laughed. But sighed relief when he refused to tell her. Howard it was short lived, one comment about figures and clothes later and the stoic blond went bright red. Ester looked wide eyed at the boy and blushed, casting a glance over at the Priest. Who froze and swallowed , in a panic he span on his heel retreated into Abel’s room and locking the door behind him. Ester was left standing there , flushed. “well, I say…better get this tree done then” she said swiftly, skittering over and busying herself with the tree,
((....BANANA! ...))

The laughed suddenly stopped as people looked at the guilty red faces of Hughe and Esther. Muraki absent mindedly scrolled through the layers, inspecting what Hughe was doing in Abel's room. Nothing really very interesting, just standing and looking anti-social as usual. The room was filled with Toby's stifled giggles and the Christmas music. The smell of tinsel suddenly brought him back to what they were meant to be doing. "Ah the tree, yes." he said and also began bustling around, prying apart the different spokes of the tree, splaying the leaves.
There was a long while of low-voiced chatter, and after about ten minutes the tree was up and sparkling with lights and tinsel. "Where's the baubles?" Muraki called over the hub-bub. Toby, who had moved to the bubbly and downed three glasses shrugged and wobbled unsteadily. Muraki sighed and rifled through the boxes, gradually managing to dislodge a large silver pot full of baubles and silver cyrstals to decorate the tree with. He hung a few on and a plan began to formulate in his head, sneakily he smiled to himself and hung another decoration. "Excuse me, I need to make a phone call." He said, dissapearing into the Lab at the end of the hall, closing the door gently.
Toby looked about, confused at his sudden dismissal of himself. He smiled goofily and then caught Muraki's thoughts. He looked excited and began bobbing up and down on the balls of his feet. "Muraki's buying us a house!" He blurted out hurriedly, unable to keep the secret, despite not even being told it was a secret anyway. "He's getting us somewhere to live! He's buying us this new Inn that's been built, they haven't even opened it yet, but Muraki can buy it off their hands with enough money so that they'll give in." Toby babbled mindlessly. It was at that point Muraki stuck his head out from the Lab, grinning wildly. "Toby, it was meant to be a surprise for you, for Christmas. But yes people, I'm buying an Inn to be exact, this house is too small for everyone to stay in." He stated and then dissapeared back into the Lab, phone clamped to his ear to try and ignore Toby's cheering.

Sheba wrapped several strings of lights around the white christmas tree - once they were all turned on you would probably need sunglasses to see the tree at all. She tried to take her tinsel down from midair but it had floated up a little higher than she could reach. She was about to jump for it when the christmas music suddenly became a little too familiar. Aw, shite. I'm supposed to be playing that one tonight, aren't I... I'd better go practice it. And change these clothes, too. "Uh..." Muraki seemed to have disappeared while she was busy trying to get her tinsel so she turned to Toby instead. "Listen, I just remembered something and I gotta go. I'll write down my phone number, tell Muraki to give me a call if he needs anything." Scribbling the number on a square of paper, she signed it and left it on the table. She'd developed a bad habit of writing her signature everywhere instead of her name. "Okay then? Seeya! Bye!" With that, she waved goodbye to everyone and slipped out the door. A moment later the cloud of tinsel regained it's normal weight and fell with a rustle and a clunk onto the floor.

“Us” ester said, turning to face the excited teen. “Us too?” she asked, smiling at how excited she was. Muraki stuck his head out and confirmed it, he was buying a /inn/. Ester did one of the most stereotypical girly things she could have done. She squealed and skipped over to the boy, taking hold of his arm and jumping up and down, squealing like a little girl. “oh that’s fantastic” she grinned “HUGHU, get out here, Muraki is going to buy a home for Toby and the others!” she called. Hugh poked his ehad out and smiled “that’s good” he said, looking strange with a smile on his face. Just then there was a knock at the door followed quickly with the door bell.

Toby jumped up and down when Esther celebrated with him, a grin wide across his face. He glanced at the number on the table, along with Sheba's scribble of a signature. He hadn't been fast enough to catch the reason in her thoughts why she left, but he heard it was important, whatever it was. It seemed that his power was limited by what people thought at that exact time, not memories or hidden notions. He also had to be quite close to them, although it could work through walls if the person on the other side was close enough.
Muraki heard the bell go and glanced outside, shocked by the person who was stood there. He immediately slammed down the phone and stalked over to the door, flinging it open wide and grinning at the visitor. "So you've returned." Muraki said, still beaming at his old friend. He swung the door opened wider so that they could enter, and politely waved the guest in.

Ester looked over as the door went and was about to call Muraki but he’d already started to storm towards the door. She smiled at Toby and decided to busy herself making preparations for the Christmas dinner. Hugh emerged from the room to inspect this new comer. Christopher smiled at the white clad doctor. ”It looks like it” the blond smiled up at the man. “Muraki, well you haven’t changed a bit” he grinned, shaking frost from his shoulders before heading inside. Being careful not to get to close to the doctor. Ester glanced up, how strange, they apparently knew each other but this new visitor was being incredibly cold, not even a hand shake. Hugh took his place by the wall and stood still. Christopher removed his jacket and placed it on a hook, but keeping the scarf and gloves on. “I hope you don’t mind me turning up so suddenly” he smiled “I was in the area” he lied, glancing around the other faced in the room “woah, there’s a lot more people here than I remember,” he smiled, waiting to be introduced.

Toby listened in to the conversation, peering over the back of the couch. He heard the man's excuse that he was in the area. "Liar." He hissed when he said it, and felt a cold shiver head up his spine. The room had dropped a few degrees, and Toby already had found that the man was an Ice gifted from inside Muraki's head as the thought flew past.
Muraki walked over to the thermostat and turned it up a little, knowing that if he didn't, the whole house would freeze over. "Aha, this is Toby. Our little mind-reading, invisible, sparrow winged boy. This is Sabaku, a lady of the desert and sands. May I introduce Esther, one of the only people that can bear being around so many weirdo's. I'm afraid Hughe, a member of AX is hiding away because Toby was mean to him" He span round to be confronted by the large chest of Hughe. "Or not, obviously. Here he is. Hughe, this is Christopher. Sheba left on short notice by the looks of it. Please make yourself at home, do you want some Hot chocolate? I have invented a new flash which can keep things warm even in the coldest of temperatures. Speaking of cold, you seemed to have dropped a few degrees, although you're blood seems to have adjusted, there's no signs of any new clots. How are you feeling? Where did you go?" He began to bustle around the kitchen, trying to avoid bumping into Esther as she also prepared the Christmas meal for the next day. He took out a bulky looking flask and began popping chocolate powder in, not waiting for Christopher's answer.

There was a sharp rapping sound - yet another person at the door. Sebastian didn't have to wait for it to be answered because it was opened by the lopsided android that accompanied him. "May I take your coat?" it asked him, even though he wasn't wearing one. They made a shabby-looking pair: Sebastian looked as though he'd slept in his clothes last night, and the android covered in dents and scrapes. It leaned to the left and kept jerking it's head around, plus one of it's 'eyes' was smashed in. "Does this robot belong to you?" Sebastian asked the nearest person, who happened to be Christopher. He sounded like an overtired customer service worker. "It came wandering into our office this morning - looks like it's been hit by a bus or something. Anyway, it's been going on about somebody called Muraki all day." "Welcome to Bug Bots," the android piped up, at the mention of Muraki. "Muraki will be back in twenty-four minutes. Feel free to browse until then."

Muraki spun round when the door opened by itself. He was faced with his short robot and a large boy. He looked at the bot and tapped it on the head once it had finished speaking. It began to fold itself up until it was no larger than a basketball. "He's mine alright, I think I sold him to Sheba, she's staying here aswell, I'll hold onto it." He picked it up and put it on a shelf nearby. "My names Doctor Muraki Daijo, owner of Bug bots, thanks for bringing him back, they're rather expensive. And you are?" He offered his hand, and opened the door a little to welcome him in. He could at least reward him with a cup of coffee for his troubles. It was then he noticed the gloved hand and the bored look in the boys eye. He was familiar. "Sebastian? Is that you?" He asked, dropping his hand to his side in shock. "It's you're old teacher, Daijo." He said, using his last name to try and evoke some sort of memory.

Completely entertained as she watched the business in the room, Sabaku stood against the doorway at the back of the reception, feeling too shy and satisfied to find someone to talk to. Though, she did want to talk to someone, she was happy with helping with the decorations. When the entire room was decorated, she felt a smile flash across her face. She felt slightly bad because she had no sense of style and almost all of it was done by others.
Later, the door went and heads were turned as it was opened. Sabaku found herself blushing a little bit, although she was unaware. She ducked away to the kitchen, but continued to listen to situation. "Sebastian? Is that you?" she heard Muraki say and Sabaku assumed he was from that school the Doctor used to work at. She felt slightly oblivious to it all, being one who spent her entire life travelling without education. Though she was smart enough to pick things up, such as etiquette and slang. She peered round, and fixed her eyes on the new-comer. Though, to outsiders, her face seemed stern and secretive, she was like running a race inside, and her cheeks were rosy. When she finally realised, she looked around for Toby, hoping he hadn't seen, OR HEARD her thoughts! She decided to ignore herself and step out to meet this Sebastian. At that, she got a good look at his eyes. They were incredible, though his expression told Sabaku that he would be slightly irritating. Though she smiled from behind Muraki, waving sollemnly.

Toby suddenly heard something that upset him, getting up and storming into his room. The door slammed shut and he slid down the back of it, head in his hands. His new gift was already starting to cause problems. He growled at himself and picked up a lamp, chucking it at the wall and feeling satisfied when it fizzed out, smashing into tiny peices.
Muraki looked about confused when Toby stormed off in some sort of mood. He tried to ignore the crash of glass against the wall but still winced. "You'll have to excuse him, it's not been long since he gained his newest gift." He explained to Christopher and Sebastian.
