Phoenix looked to Naka and Aiden for a time, shifting a bit and coughed as she slipped the bag over her neck and shoulder to rest it on her side, pulling her wings back into her body. She thought and slipped into the kitchen, getting some food out for Naka before she had to go.

Naka finished with the bed and heard her stomach gurgle. It wasn't a good feeling. She went to the bathroom and silently locked the door behind her. Aiden scratched at one of the scars on his back. Yup, he didn't feel anything. He put on the shirt he had thrown onto the floor and walked to the kitchen. "What's for Naka?"

Phoenix set down a few things of fruit and she coughed, rubbing her head. She looked to Aiden and sighing thoughtfully, rubbing her arm. "does she need something else?" She asked quietly, faintly glancing in her direction then back to him.

"Milk." He sat on a chair and took an apple. Aiden took a big bite, taking in a whole chunk. He didn't need to eat, but the taste of something down his throat kept him sane.

Phoenix nodded and set out a glass of it, coughing once before she walked across the room to her wall of weapons and the poison table. She picked up some antidotes she had made a few weeks ago and sifted through notes of ingredients.

Aiden remembered what she had done at his grave. "Hey...at the grave, why did you take the antidote? And what happened to the excess poison in my body that I didn't purge yet?"

Phoenix rubbed her hands and looked to him, putting the items in her bag before she walked back over to pick up an apple. "I took the rest of the poison into my cut... its being destroyed within my body now..." She answered and leaning against the counter as she bit into the apple.

Aiden was impressed. "Huh. I guess I should've had you handy instead of Naka that day..." He bit off the last of his apple and threw the core into the waste bin.

Phoenix shrugged a bit and ate slowly, looking at the time quietly. She was usually ready early, she didn't have to go in for another half hour.

Naka came out from the bathroom and walked in to the kitchen, still looking sleepy. She smiled as she saw Phoenix. "Ah...! Good morning, Okaa-sama!" Naka sat at the counter and took an orange from the fruit bowl, peeling it slowly. "Do you have to go to work again soon, Okaa-sama?"

Phoenix looked to her and returned the small smile. She shifted a bit and nodded to her question, again biting into the apple a bit as she relaxed.

"Can I come?" she asked hopefully. "It'd be a good experience, and I can hone my medic skills." That was just one of her reasons. The other reason was so she could spend more time with Phoenix. "I'll come too," Aiden chirped in.

Phoenix blinked a bit at them both but nodded. She didn't mind the company, she felt safer from prying eyes to her mysterious outlook with others. She flashed a thankful smile and tossed her apple core in the trash as she straightened the bag on her shoulders

Naka smiled too, and finished her orange. Aiden swept up the mess she left, and threw it into the same bin. Naka walked next to Phoenix, chatting about petty topics like weather and dinner. The male demon walked along Phoenix's other side, bored as he soaked in the sunlight coming down on them.

Phoenix was content to listen and walk quietly. Less people shot her unrelenting, hateful glances and she felt calmer then before. Getting to the hospital, she led the way in where everybody around suddenly were the ones to turn to her for anything they needed. She put her bags down and rubbed her head.
