Toby grinned at his new found friend. It may be odd to call someone beautiful when they are male, but his appearance was worth no title less than that. The word balanced precariously on his tongue before he swallowed his words, wondering about what the consequences would be if he had said it in today's judgemental world. "Me too" He answered the boy, feeling that he was being very tentative and polite, probably nervous. "Are you not so good around people?" He said, not meaning to insult him but gentle curiousity getting in the way once again. "I'm still learning too." He said, revealing no more of his caged up past.
Muraki walked over to his friend who's hand was clasping the book, ice forming around the page, sticking them together. "Darnit, I have no idea where I've put the de-icer. There's a little coffeemachine which can boil water for things, go make a mug and try and warm your hand up best you can eh?" He shuffled over to the desk to the side. "Here it is, I know I'd hidden it somewhere." He pulled out a crystal glass with a handle, probably costing more than a car and began to press buttons on a black machine which rumbled as it boiled furiously. "I'd never be able to give up science, I'd feel like I'm retiring, and I'm not even that old. Do I seem old?" He stared at Christopher, still stuck to the book which his wisened eye, the other hidden under his silver bouncy fringe. His body was lithe and young, but the way he held himself was modest, shying away from the attention he could grab. Sure, his greying hair did look like the characteristic of someone older, but it shimmered with such a young look he could fool you into thinking he was twenty. "Oh I feel old nowadays, I didn't expect wealth to pile up until I was well into my fourties, and I certainly didn't expect to own my own business until my fifties. I'm achieving everything so young thanks to my accident, it seems to have cursed me in the female's department however. Women won't look twice at a man with white hair, even if he's worth a million pounds and has the gift of a god." He sighed longingly and tapped Christopher's hand to pull it over the mug, pouring the boiling water over the icy skin, dislodging the book. "There we go, fixed. Go dry off, try not to freeze my towels." He suddenly shivered unexpectedly and felt he was being rude. "Sorry Christopher, you'd been away for so long I'd adjusted to my snuggly warm house." He walked behind the receptionist desk where many buttons resided, poking out of the polished wood, modern against grand. He flicked a few switches and a curtain raised at the opposite end of the hall, revealing a large black wooden fireplace, as tall as Abel himself, firing up automatically as if by magic. "In moment's this place will be a sauna." He said happily.

Reiko's blue eyes again locked onto the boys wings, they reminded him of something but he couldn't put his finger on it just yet but he knew that he had seen wings like that before. Looking into the others eyes to speak to him, Reiko smiled slightly. 'When speaking to someone always look into their eyes, that's what he said!' 'Urr, yeah, I haven't really spoke to anyone since....well, Father Nightrode is the only person i've really talked to in years. Took a while to speak to him though....What about you?' Playing with the ends of his braid the blue haired boy looked back at the wings, a bird! 'What bird, a Kingfisher? No. A Robbin? No. It's a....a...' 'A SPARROW!' Standing up and pointing to the wings Reiko quickly slapped a hand to his mouth and sat on the floor, biting his lips together he muttered a quick 'sorry.' 'Your wings, they are the same as a sparrow's right? Where did you get them, I've never seen a breed like that before?' Corssing his legs his rested his chin on the palms of his hands and smiled at the boy before him, quickly getting over his embrassment.

"Well I grew up with a cage around me, and no real company except for a dog that had a beak, I only reallylearnt somet things a few..." He was about to finish when the boy jumped up and shouted at him pointing at his wings. It took a moment to process what he'd said before he blinked excitedly. "Yes! I'm a sparrow!" He was pleased with the boy's recognition. He spread his wings out and pulled one round roughly, toying with the feathers, pulling out stones and rubble.

Christopher smiled "no you don't seem old" he smiled, trying his damnedest to pry his hand from the book, but afraid of damaging the delicate pages by accident. "your hair gives you a little age but your face can't lie" he smiled "Abel seems to have the same hair colour issue and he still looks young, how are you anyway father?" he asked offhand, Abel looked up and flustered a little, touching his fingertips together nervously. "well I er, I'm....29?" he said, unsure of how old he actually looked, hoping for a good guess. "29? hm, you look younger to me, don't worry about it, age is just time passing anyway" he smiled, taking the embarrassment from being almost 30. He smiled and moved as directed "oh don't be like that, some women prefer a mature man, silver hair is a sign of maturity and class!" he grinned, trying to encourage his Friend. "think of it this way, at least you can still have one to one contact with people" he tried to smile, but it faltered a little. Abel blushed at the mention of one to one contact, being very subjective to double an tantras. With his hand free the geneticist smiled "thank you, Oh its OK Don't worry. I don't plan on staying long" he smiled. Abel, being on the dull side today suddenly made a triumphant noise. "oh i See, its you that's so cold!" he chirped up. "oh, I mean, sorry. I just didn't realize why" the priest bumbled , going red with embarrassment for being so rude. "yes. its me, anyway...I best go sort myself out" he sighed, spotting the fire and wincing, deciding to take a walk into less fire-filled rooms in the house. Abel sighed and smiled at the fire. "Oh good, I was starting to shiver" he SIMD. "your poor freind..." he sighed, looking after the blond.

Reiko looked at the boy and tilted his head to the side slightly, 'A cage?' he thought. Sitting up and straightening out his back, his blue wings extending slightly he asked, 'Were you...were you an experiment?' The blue haired boy watched as Toby pulled on of his wings roughly to wards him and began picking at it, Reiko suddenly thought of himself in distress, he had a habit of pulling his feathers out when being upset. Pulling his wings to fold comfortably upon his back he nodded gently as the other male stated that he was indeed a sparrow.

Toby's lip wobbled, proof that he was still only a boy in some aspects. He nodded sorrowfully and took a deep, shaky breath. "I was a test tube baby, and one of the only kids to survive past the age of five. My friend, he was a toad-boy, he died this year and in his last moments he told me to escape." He looked into the fire longingly and batted his eyelashes, fighting against the rush of memories. "The only reason I'm here is because of him. When he died, the guards were so preoccupied they left me alone, and forgot to lock the cage. I finally got the courage and flew right away from my metal nest. They tried to catch me but the dog-boys were all too young and too entertained with chasing their own backsides instead of me." He sniffed and wrinkled his nose at the memories of the jaws snapping at him, half playfully and half viciously. "What's your story?" He asked, perking up a little and the sparke of the fire reflecting in his eyes.
Muraki smirked as Abel said his own age. He peered into Abel's heart often to watch the numbers move in the complete wrong order, backwards and fowards. Something was toying with Abel's future, threatening his long exsistence and also abandoning the plans of Abel's destruction. Muraki wished many times he could see his own numbers, his own fate slowly counting down. Then again he thanked his little ability that he couldn't, or h would become obsessed with immortality. Christopher was saying something about Silver hair and then dissapeared into another room, probably because here was going to get too hot for him. "He's not poor and doesn't want sympathy. He's a genius in disguise my friend." Muraki waggled his finger at Abel. "I'm supposing your hungry now, it's been about three hours since you last ate. Even despite your enormous portions, I know you too well." He tapped Abel's elbow affectionately, knowing that any full on body contact might aswell be as bad as stripping off and leaping on him. "I have a present for you." He said, grinning slightly. He rummaged in his pocket for something and found a large remote. On each of the buttons was a meal, ranging from healthy meals to big sweet puddings and cakes. There was also three buttons with portion sizes and a few fo drinks. "Don't go overusing it, but I need a break from cooking your meals so you now have a big bulky robot to do it for you. He's called Walter, and he's such a gentlemen but can be a little sarcastic at times. I've taken to giving my robots a voice, so now they can whine and moan all they like." He smiled, proud of his little creation and tapped Abel on the elbow again.

Reiko looked saddened at the boys story, kept in a cage, he couldn't imagine a life like that. He watched as the boys eye's gazed into the fire, explaining about his friend who died. The blue haired boy shifted his gaze to the floor, he knew what it was like to lose someone close to you, your most precious thing taken away from you. He had experienced it too many times. He looked up as Toby had finished and asked him his story. Reiko sighed, he didn't what to sound like he wanted attention after hearing Toby's sad story. 'Um...well my family were taken from me and I lived with my Master for a few years. He well, he killed himself. And, um, yeah that's it!' The blue haired boy looked confused for a moment as he wondered if he had let too much information slip, taking his time he looked up and smiled brightly. 'Yeah that's what happened!' He grinned at his story, that didn't seem too bad.

"You make it sound so easy." Toby said sweetly, then smiled as he picked at a thread in the beanbag. "I think you're probably skimming over the nasty bits." He eyed Reiko suspicious then his expression faltered. "It's okay, I probably would too. It's not nice to bring other people down with bad experiences, but it's bad to keep anything caged up. That's just my opinion though. Want to go claim rooms?" He asked and jumped to his feet, offering a hand. He opened his wings a little and the feathers rippled, one even fell out. It was picked up by a robot and shredded, then the robot scuttled off.

The blue haired boy smiled gently and nodded, 'Yes, I don't think I'm ready to let people know the true extent of my story just yet, when the time is right I will tell, but not yet....I am still a sinner....' Looking down to the fire he could see his Masters face reflected the flickering flames. Shaking his head from side to side he looked up at the boy as a hand was held infront of him. Reiko took the offered hand and stood up, 'Yeah we should get the best rooms before the other do!' Moving next to the other male he smiled, 'We should also get to know the house, because of the looks of things, no ones really been here before, so we should get the layout down too!' Moving towards the stairs the boy placed his hand on the cold wood, smooth and soft under his touch. 'Nice..' he thought.

"Great" Toby said and began tugging and running. When the reached the stairs, he let go of the boy's hand to run his own across the surface. "It's cold like Metal, but kind of soft and roughish like wood. Strange..." He bounded up the stairs and dissapeared round the corner into the corridor and then into a large room with two huge double beds. "holy moly! Get in here! This is sooo our room!" He said, his voice echoing down the modern hallway.

Abel looked after the shorter man and smiled “I’m sure he is a genius, epically if he’s spent any amount of time with you .” Abel smiled and accepted the remote “f-for me? You should have” he grinned, holding the shiny new gadget in the light. “a robot, that sounds expensive” he said, with a slight frown “I cant accept this” he said, unfortunately his intentions where pure but before he realised his fingers had wandered over the rounded buttons and already pressed for cake he had even finished his sentence. The sheer joy was clear in his face as he admired the thing like a child with a new toy.

Sabaku felt slightly speechless at the sound of both Reiko's and Toby's life stories. She looked at the palms of her hands and her vision, suddenly, lost focus for a moment. At that, she got a flash of an image of her grandfather... "I shall accompany you two, then," she muttered as they went to leave upstairs.

Muraki grinned as the robot in the Kitchen jumped into life, singing in a loud robotic voice and shouting about toppings. "CHOCOLATE OR JAM? CARAMALIZED OR TAN?" He roared, with his strange habit of having to rhyme everything blatantly obvious. "First meal I ever cook is a Cake, don't I live in a house of obesity?" He said, clanging pots and pans together as white powder floofed out of the room. "Woops..." He said.
Muraki laughed loudly, his booming giggles making him keel over until it hurt. "Oh....You will not believe....What that Walter's just done!" He wheezed. "Look Look" He said, pointing at a wall, completely ignoring the fact that Abel could obviously not see through it. Instead, he began to explain. "I gave it a tongue, to taste test things. But he's just malfunctions, and insteadof tearing off the sugar top with his teeth, he's just bit the whole thing and it...." He began to laugh in a horrendous shriek, dropping to his knees. "EXPLODED" He managed to spit before tears began to fall from his painful racking chuckles.
Walter blinked, the whole kitchen, one of the only rooms decorated in black and silver, had turned completely snow white as casting sugar stuck to every surface. A huge pile of sugar was on top of Walter and he shook it off, his tongue flapping up to clean his eyes so he could see the damage. "Oh treacle tart. That was smart." He said sarcastically.

Abel blinked at the scientist. The priests sense of humour didn’t quite grasp what was so funny, his mind was more fixated on one thing. “….Does this mean I wont get any cake?” he asked worriedly glancing at the kitchen. just then a stack of books at the holy mans side spoke “Muraki would it be alright if I took these to the church with me, its just I’m Dying to read them and I need to be there for the service tomorrow and then there’s a fair” she sighed. Abel sighed, realising he wasn’t being haunted by works of literature bit it was Esther.

Hikaru flew close to the ground following Father Abel after the commotion in the streets. Landing at the place where they had all entered she folded her black wings against her back so they wouldnt knock everything over when she was inside. Knocking before she just walked in so the people would be alerted to her coming inside. Then pushing open the doors with one hand and stepping inside out of the rain (decided to make it rain...dont know why). Then she found a robot malfunctioning saying random words like chocolate and Father Abel, worried at the fact the robot wouldnt be able to make him cake. She actually rather regretted coming right now but she had no choice, she was already here. She decided to make it quick so she could just get the hell out of here, she already looked like a idiot.
