"hey...Iblis? Umm...I'm sorry about everything that happened to you. I mean, it was sorta my fault. Y'know, I'm your big sister. I'm suposed to protect you. But...I..." Midona shook her head, refusing to let herself cry in front of people she hardly knew, "I'm sorry. But don't tell anyone -that means Hiro, Tsubaka, and Saki- that I said that."

"Mi...It's not your fault..you know that, right?" Iblis went to hug the girl, realized he wasn't tall enough to, and so instead wrapped his arms around her slender waist, burying his face in the material of her corset.

Midona hugged him back quickly, then the two of them moved apart, a faint blush coloring Iblis' usually pale cheeks.

"So..umm...I'm hungry. Does anyone have any food?" Midona made an attempt at changing the subject, then noticed the 'we're not buying it, Mi' expressions of her fellow captives "Quit staring at me like that! Come on, is a girl not entitled to hug her baby brother? Gosh. Look, despite how I may act sometimes I AM a good person, y'klnow?" She paused, then almost whispered the next part "Despite what Elissa may tell you, I am NOT like her..."

((For those of you who are confused as to wether Mi and Iblis are siblings or what, they are really cousins but Midona's aunt adopted them. Their other 'sister', Ashira, is not their blood relative at all but was raised as Iblis' twin, for reasons I am not yet sure of. Just a little note so's ya don't get confused.))

((Also, lol, TsuBAKA, get it?))

"I don't have any food. I don't really want any food, if I'm honest. But I would really love a glass of wine. If I wasn't here, I'd probably be having a drink of something right now..." Frances sighed, realising for the first time that he hadn't had a thing to drink since he came here. "Does anyone have any drink?"

"No. Unfortunatley. I don't really want any food either. As Iblis will tell you, I only eat candy. I was trying to change the subject. Sammy and Lupus were looking at us weird. I think they think that me and Iblis have a thing for eachother, which would be not only totally gross, but I would kinda get arrested for pedophila, and possibly statory rape, depending on how far it went. Not. Fun."

At that second, Iblis was wishing he was somewhere else. Then he realized that he had nowhere else TO go.

((Poor Iblis.. >_

"Hm." Frances said, in agreement. He was begining to feel rather weak, mainly from lack of drink. "I think I'm going to faint." he said, quietly. No sooner had he said, he collapsed onto the floor in an unconcious heap.

"Again?" Midona sighed, sitting in a perfect lotus position on the floor beside the unconcious Frances.

"Um...Onee-sama? Is he alright?" Iblis sounded worried, Midona on the other hand actually looked rather bored.

"Yes"
