The black-streaked blonde decided to keep quiet in order not to give Kayen away. It was always impressive to see the prodigy go to work. Now they could hope for the potential bearing on their enemies.

"It was a long time ago," The Priest informed. "And I wasn't allowed in their home."

Kayen's shoulders fell.

"Why were you out in the wilderness?" Domino asked lifelessly. "Surely it was safer inside the walls of the city."

The priest stared at him, before he chuckled. "Oh, no... My husband meets with them once a week to teach English to them and to learn their language. They meet at a neutral ground... I went with him at one point."

"Neutral ground?" Domino frowned. "Where?"

"Its changed since then, so I don't know," The priest informed.

"So your husband...husband?" Domino frowned again. "So your husband still meets with them at an undisclosed location?"

"Weekly," The man informed. "That isn't where he is right now, though."

"Where is he?" Kayen asked, taking a seat on the floor.

"He went to get some food... oh gosh, you must be freezing! Where are my manors!?" The priest hopped up. "Come, come! Lets get you into some clothing that isn't so thin!"

"Huh?" Kayen blinked and hopped up, moving to follow the man.

It wasn't that he trusted the unusual priest - he just knew he could take care of himself, especially against a weak human.

Domino got up and followed after them- silent as a cold breeze. His long sleeves dragged across the floor as he pursued the two.

The priest lead them back into the part of the church they hadn't really looked in and pushed open a door, coming into an old, worn-down bedroom.

"I don't think I have anything that will fit you," He admitted. "Ryou is a few sizes smaller then me, but he is no child. Still, its better then those mud-covered, torn clothes... we'll have to see about getting those collars off of you. You're not pets."

"Oh, I forgot about them," Kayen admitted, touching his own. "Just used to them, I guess..."

He felt around the outside for a moment, before there was a click as he used his mind to press the inside release. It snapped off, clattering to the floor loudly. Reaching over, he did the same with Domino's, brushing the other's skin.

Domino closed his eyes and wished that time would slow just for a moment so he could enjoy the brushing of their skin just a little longer. He was still warm from their kissing earlier and reminded himself that he wanted to kill this man for interrupting.

"What's your name?" Kayen asked as the man began to search through the closet - which had no door.

"Neko," The man informed. "Neko Reese."

"Neko?" Kayen repeated.

"Its Japanese," Neko chuckled. "My parents found the name in an old translation file and liked it."

"My name is Kayen," Kayen informed, smiling warmly. "This is Domino!"

"K. N.?" Neko asked, turning to look at the boy in surprise. "Domino?"

"Kayen," Kayen giggled. "I don't know why they named me that."

"It's because...never mind." Domino sighed. "And yes, I'm Domino...my brother is outside, his name is Chess."

"I see," Neko replied, giving a small smile. "What made him decide to stay out there?"

He pulled out a long white shirt, fluzzy and held it up to Kayen, before offering it to the boy. Kayen took it and immediately began to pull off his own shirt.

Domino watched Kayen undress a moment before turning back to Neko.

"He does not mingle well with others." Domino said flatly. "If you take the time to talk with him, you'll figure it out."

"Hopefully he doesn't freeze out there," Neko mumbled, pulling out a black sweater and handing it to Domino. "I'll take some blankets out to him after I get you two settled. It gets very cold out there."
