Reaching Salvation: Post-Acer Part 5

OoC: If you were going to have Kira drag Luke off to visit baby Lucas, now would be a good day 'fore Nathan gets back.

"Don't think I can help with that. I don't do water, unfortunately," Luke replied. Difficult to burn yourself when you just have water powers, provided it isn't boiling.

Kira laughed slightly. "Th-There's not enough water for me to water the whole forest, I was going to try and restore water to the plants without killing myself..."

OOC: Alright.

"When I say foreign spirit, I mean any spirit except for the ones in my watch," Adeline said, shrugging. "Anyway, it's too dangerous, and I don't want to end up accidentally killing you or whatever."

"Yeah, that would suck..." Kaylee muttered, "I wouldn't be able to feel anything."

"Anyone in the village that could help?" Luke asked. He didn't want to see Kira in pain. He had gone a long time without it, but back in the days of the Acer Tournament, it was enough to send him into a berserk rage even he didn't like to see.

"I-I don't think there's anyone with a water Flow... There might be in the Illuminati's village, but..." Kira trailed off, looking nervously at Luke. She wasn't sure how comfortable he'd be with her asking them for help.

When the doctor called them in Erika got to her feet and walked inside.

---Afterwards---

Erika couldn't speak, she felt like the walls were shrinking in on her.

Luke did scowl slightly, but quickly wiped the look off his face.

"They did say you were welcome there," Luke replied eventually. Kira's wellbeing was the most important thing to him at the end of the day.

"Erika..." Joey said, putting a hand on her shoulder, trying to comfort her, once again.

He was quite shocked himself, but right now, it was Erika who had to deal with it the most.

"A-Are you sure...?" Kira asked. She didn't want to risk doing anything to drive Luke away.

"'Course I am, I'm not that selfish," Luke replied kindly.

Erika pushed the hand away, looking at Joey. Her face seemed to contort, the woman abruptly stood up.

"...I need some air." With that Erika exited.

Joey watched as his wife left the room, a look of serious worry on his face.

"Erika..."

Kira paused, her face lighting up. "You should come and see Lucas!"

"Don't." Erika raised her hand. "Please just...don't."

The brunette walked off.

"Lucas?" Luke asked, a confused expression on his face.

Kira laughed. "Did you forget already? Amelia's baby."

"Oh right, yeah," Luke replied, understanding dawning on him. "Yeah, I s'pose we might as well."

Joey was silent as she left.

Right now, he was confused, worried, shocked, and even a little excited, but he couldn't think about that now, he was too busy worrying about how Erika was feeling right now.

...Idiot.

...What?

That's you're problem...you're more cornced about others, then you are about yourself.

Kira hooked her arm around Luke's, a small smile appearing on her face. "Let's go then."

Erika walked down to the stream that was near the border between the village and the Illuminati Camp. There she sat down, and stared out into nothing.

Luke smiled back at Kira.

"Let's," he replied. He didn't like the Illuminati one bit, but he was sure he could keep himself in check to make life easier for Kira.

Joey walked out of the area, and out into the forest, wandering aimlessly, with an unreadable look on his face.
There was a lot going on his head at the moment.

Kira started walking in the direction of the Illuminati's village, pausing anxiously at the edge of the forest and glancing nervously at Luke.

Adeline shrugged and began to wrap her arm. "...But to be honest, I am kinda curious."
