Malty's Inn

Regina simply returned. She gave some laughs however. She pulled away with a very silly smile. She looked at him like she had met him for the first time. Something made her think of him differently. But she did not mind to much of it. She simply patted his chest and looked up at the sky as it was turning orange.
Back at the inn however was a diffrent story. Cassandra and Helena were up and working with Alana and staff....the day after a holiday is their work day....the worst work day of the year.
Cassandra and everyone else began to wonder where Regina and Nergal where....some help would be great right now.
Then like a time bomb....Regina found out what was happeneing at the inn.
"OH CRAP!!! I WORK TODAY!!!!"
(Sorry for late post comrade)

And Nergal looked at Regina."But are you well enouhgt to do Work, if not lets just stay here for a while".And he looked at Regina." But what you think, shall we be here, or heed back now, to the Inn, they will be a grumpy bunch anyway, what you think".

Regina gave a small look at him as if he knew what the answer was she crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow. She would know how Malty would react. He would not be to happy if Regina decided not to come to work. Especially Chrystal.....Chrystal....."It is either we go back and we get yelled at....or we go back late and Chrystal will get her an extra paddle..."

"That wont go, so come on". And he changed to his Dragon form, and he was as fast as the light, and they were there before the sun had come up."Ill take your punishment, if it comes to that, say I took you on a Journey, then everything will come on me, you cant take a beating again so soon".

Regina gave asmal sigh.
"Not agian. Wont let you do that twice to me!"
When they touched down....she saw Cassandra with her arms crossed outside...tapping her foot. She did not look to happy.
Regina gave a nervous grin..."Oh....uhhh....hey..." Cassandra waved her hands in front of her.
"Dont want to hear it....we had just finished....FINISHED.....where were you...?...you knew that this day is the most busy. What were you two doing?"

"Hey why are you so grumpy hm, you should learn to control your temper better Cassandra, it dosent fit you to be like this, and if you want to know, I took her out for a walk, I wanted to show her so meny things, that I knew of, if that is a fault,Ill take the punishment for us bouth".

Cassandra gave a small sigh in understanding. But she did not think it was needed to give him the punishment. They both were part of it. Then she looked at Regina's posture.
"Cassandra why are you standing like that?" Regina did not notice that she was still hurting a little and her hips were out more. She quickly stood normaly. and Gave a nervous laugh.
Cassandra gave a look at Nergal..."Well.....what did you do?"

"What do you mean, what did I do, I gave her a lesson, that she wanted, that was all Cassandra".But he dident tell what he had done, so all marks were away, and he looked at Cassandra."Yeah I punished her becurse she wanted to, is that bad mom".Asked Nergal, his ears went flat.

Cassandras expession softened when she head this and moved her hair form her eyes. She then gave a small giggle....then a hard and long laugh....she was hurting!!! Regina tilted her head....."Bwah?"

"And Now Cassandra what will happen to me mom, who will punish me, as it was my fault that we were late".And he looked at her, and bowed."I am sorry mom, dident know that you had so much work to do, as it is my first year here, I culdent know, and Regina rememberd it when it was to late".

Cassandra gave a small giggle.
"Nothing."
She gave a small pat to the dragons head. Wonder how he did that.
"I cant find a reason on why you did leave on the day you work. But I don't care I feel Like million this morning!!!"
She then gave Bear hugs to them both and trotted into the inn.
(Sorry for late posts. I am typing a paper.)

And Nergal looked up at Cassandra, and walked over to Chrystal, and bowed his head."Sorry we were late, it was my fault".He looked up at chrystal, now he was back in his wolf form." I take the punishment for us both, if there need to be any Chrystal".He looked up at her.

Chrystal was not as free happy as Cassandra. Her hair was over her eyes and her frown could not make her look any worse than it was. She gave a hard bop on Nergal's Nose. More annoyed then Pissed.
"Why....did you take her away....hmmm?" Her hands sat on her hips....and she looked him in the eyes. She was getting more upset by the second.

Regina stood behind Nergal....she was never a good enough thinker when it came to Chrystal....she scared her a little.

And Nergal looked at her."Becurse I wanted to, and its my first year here Chrystal, so how could I know hm".He looked at her sternly, and slaped his tail back and forth."And I am sorry Chrystal, dident mean to do it, and come so late back, only wanted to show her so meny things". he looked down.

Chrystal was not buying to sad look. She was acting more of a mother enraged than anything else. She simply went to the two them and looked at them dead in the eyes knowing that they were lying. But then felt a hand on her Shoulder. It was Cassandra. She wore a warm and kiddish smile as she stood next to Chrystal.
"Hey You are over doing it. You see that they are not happy. They also apologized. And yeah....Nergal's first Christmas here. He would not know Regina worked today....and hey...we are finished....no blood spilt."
She began to push Chrystal back into the inn. Trying to make Chrystal as confused as possible.
"Now go back in and have the day off. You worked harder than ever."

She shooed her in the building and turned to the others.
"See....no harm done."

"no I wont accept that, Chrystal is angry and sad, somthing must be done, I dont want to see her like that mom, she is much to worth to, just leave here like that". And Nergal walked over to Chrystal."What is bugging you, I know its not this, but somthing else, becurse I could hear you were folowing me the night before Chrystal".

Chrystal gave a small huff. She was in no mood to talk....despite how her manner changed.
"Why I followed you.....I followed you so Would get to my room. We rest in the same hall." She did not even turn to look at him. She was resting in the couch with her hands under her chin.

And Nergal looked at Chrystal."Look Chrystal, I love you as much as I love them all, were all family now, and Ill always be here for you, if you need anything at all, then Ill be there for you too Chrystal". Nergal looks at her.

Chrystal spoke with a blank and unemotional voice.
"Who said I needed anything? I am fine....just go back to Regina. She and you are not in trouble. Cassandra is right. Everything has been taken care of."

And Nergal did so, and went to Regina, and smiled a sad smile."She is as dead as a stone to talk to". Shiver´s through his spine.

Cassandra heard this and moved to Chrystal.
"Hey...what is bothering you? I you still mad at them?" Chrystal shook her head.
"Then what is wrong? You know none of us likes seeing you like this." Chrystal gave a sigh.
"I dont know.....it is just something diffrent you know? I dont know what it i like to be able to do these things....and actually live through them all....working here....I love it....the very meaning of my happiness is to be here....and still is." Her face lit up a little. Cassandra gave a small smile.....Chrystal simply needed a person to speak to....
"Ooooohh...Chrystal. You know you have people to talk to. I can talk....what was it you do need to talk about.....anything....just shoot."

Regina could not hear what was going on.....but she did see the two of them finally smiling at each other....but then Cassandra gave a look at them and whispered somthing to Chrystal....they both broke out laughing...Regina was feeling left out!!....But she was happy that she and Nergal dodged a bullet.

And Nergal smiled, and looked at them bouth, but dident hear eighter, what they were talking about, and that he dident like, at all, when somthing fun was said about him, that he dident know about, but it was also somthing they dident know about, so they were even.

(Sorry for sudden stop....Internet cut out )
Cassandra and Chrystal talked about life...and their past. Laughing and cheering about it.
"Feeling better?" Chrystal gave a small chuckle and nod."See that I can be you shoulder?" Chrystal gave a another nod."See that I can talk?" Chrystal laughed a little....but nodded. And gave a hug.
"Now....Nergal....come here for a moment. PLease." Cassandra gave a funny smile...like Rolego does.

And Nergal came in to the room, were they were."Yeah what is it". he looked down, not in to their eyes.

Cassandra rolled her eyes and got on her knees. She made him look by holding his face in her hands. She tilted her head to make herself look funny. Shook his face a little and lead him to Chrystal. She still with a heart warming smile.
"She just wanted to have a person to talk to.....she had not have alot of people to talk to ever since Regina and you got together....Regina....I dont think you have noticed....but you have stopped talking to her ever since you two have gotten together.....and it hurts her alot. She wanted to tell this to Nergal....but she did not want to anger him.....she is actually very scared of him......" Cassandra then went to Chrystal and held her hands....Calming her a little.
