And you Yew asked looking at Cupid, what are you doing here. Oh uh not much Cupid laughed awkwardly, I'm a bit of a traveler, and I happened to meet Lucian, so I kinda joined up with him. Yew eyed him suspiciously. If I may be so bold he said, why do you hide your eyes. That seemed to peak Lucian's interest as well, even Vermillion looked up from his book. It's fine Cupid hesitated and lifted his bangs with his hand, I'm blind. X's were slashed over both his foggy green eyes. You couldn't see this entire time Lucian questioned curiously. No not exactly Cupid sighed. A third eye opened in the middle of his forehead and blinked horizontally. Oh wow Lucian gasped. Yeah Cupid mumbled as he let his bangs fall back into place. There was a tense moment of silence before Yew turned back to Vermillion. I nearly forgot he frowned, could you make us some tea. Vermillion narrowed his eyes before nodding and getting up. What about you two Lucian asked as he watched Vermillion gather things for the tea. Well me and my apprentice have been helping people here since the bombings Yew replied, it's been slow as of late though. Interesting Lucian mused, how long should it take to heal the girl. Cupid turned to Lucian. We don't need to wait on her to heal he offered, we could just leave her here. Lucian shook his head and waited for Yew's answer. Not too long Yew pondered, perhaps a week, depends on when she wakes. Would it be alright if we stayed here Lucian asked. Yes of course Yew smiled as Vermillion brought over the tea and set it in front of them, you wouldn't mind sharing your room right Vee. Vermillion shifted uncomfortably before shaking his head. Great Yew said, lets drink and then Vee will show you where to stay.
