Vladimir was not used to being woken up, especially not by someone he thought he just killed. When he opened his eyes he shook a little in surprise. He was about to ask how she was alive but stopped himself. He sat up and rubbed his eyes. "Oh, alright. Thank you. I'll be down in just a moment."

Kura smiled as he woke up and nodded, "Alright, I'll see you down there." she responded before getting up and then leaving his room. She made her way back to the kitchen as she continued to prepare the rather large meal, moreso a banquet. She flipped pancakes and eggs and all the other food preparing before sitting down and waiting for Vladimir.
It felt so cold.. Her entire body ached with exhaustion as she ran through the forest with rain pouring down over her body. It was dark, the moon shone vibrantly behind the clouds giving glimpses of hope for freedom with each small break in the foreboding blanket against the sky. The trees seemed to shadow like arms snaking across the floor of the forest with an ever increasing fear rising up through her.
The sound of something behind her. A single winged creature in persuit of the lone female. She had already fought one, and managed to escape with few injuries. However another had found her trail and was closing in quickly.
The blade shimmered and crashed against the rain as she felt her body strike the ground, skidding along its muddy path violently as the man stood over her with his wings spreading wide and a scowl rested across his lips. His eyes were feral, and solid gold in color with bird-like features accenting his regal visage. His fingers twisted around the hilt of his scimitar as he raised it for the final strike. As luck would have it, she'd managed to pull a dragon origami free of her kimono and tossed it into the man's face igniting him in an inferno of flames.
Sky scrambled back to her feet as the man's screams filled the emptied forest, deafened by the sound of thunder and the downpour of rain. Wounds littered her body from the fall, a particular gash across her back bled out dangerously with various cuts and bruises dominating her skin. A single light in the distance drew her off her path, soaked through and desperate to find somewhere to recover. It was a small beacon of hope in the darkness. Footsteps slapped against the muddy path, dodging branches and slippery rocks until she'd reach the lone house.
Dawn was peeking over the edge of the horizon. A sign perhaps that she'd survive yet another bad situation and live another day. Her knuckles bounced against the wood of the door for a weak knock hardly able to stand on her own after fleeing several of the clan that hunted her. As the door might open, her thinned frame slowly collapsed forward into whoever would answer the door. Panting heavily, soaked to the bone, bloodied and looking mildly emaciated.
It wouldn't be immediately noticeable, but soon enough Kura and Sky would remember each other. Remember her as she was as a child. Mai, the Ionian Sky Pirate.

Vladimir was shocked that the girl was alive. How? How could she survive losing that much blood? He continued to question as he began grooming himself. He looked to his still soaking clothes and decided that the loose robe would be fine. He would put his hair back into its "icecream" like style. He decided that before he left he would end the girl's life for sure this time. He went to open his door as he heard a low knock. He walked past the main door and went straight to Kura. Vlad would bring his head next to hers and whisper in to her ear. "Someone is at the door." After delivering the message he would smile, then take a seat at the table and making himself a plate for breakfast.

Kura looked to Vlad as he came down and smiled. When he came over and whispered into her ear she shivered feeling his breathe. She flushed slightly and tried to act like it didn't bother her, though she was obviously embarrassed. "Uhm..yes.." she murmured as she did hear the knock. It was faint but still audible. Kura let out a sigh not sure if she wanted to leave Vlad but someone was there.
As she approached the door she perked back up before opening the door only to catch a woman. Kura caught the slightly shorter girl before alert, anxiety, and concern washed over her face. "Oh my god..." she immediately carried the body in and laid her on one of the parlor couches. "Are you alright?" kura asked the girl before noticing her clothing was soaked. "Poor thing..." she murmured before getting a towel an coming over drying her a little before grabbing many blankets and throwing them on as gently as she could mange to try to get her body heat back up.
As Kura brought her in and rested her on the couch, she'd begin to shiver from the cold chilling her eagerly. There was a noticeable gash on her back from a large, sharp blade that bled pretty heavily, soaking through her clothing eagerly and likely onto the couch as well. "Ngh.." She muttered, "..mmph.." Curling into a tight ball beneath the blankets. She was seriously roughed up, with bruises and scratches coating her body. Clearly having fought something or some things before finding her way to the house.
"..l-lock the door.." she said weakly, "..th-they're coming."

Vladimir became slightly curious as to who was at the door when his hostess muttered those three words. He would get up and walk behind her before seeing just who it was. "Whose at the do-" Vlad would stop mid sentence as he noticed the all but familiar woman. "Sky!? What is she doing here?" Vladimir thought to himself as he slowly went to the door. He peaked out and looked around for the attacker before closing it gently and locking it. He walked back to the two at the couch and remained silent. He prepared himself for the yelling that would surely ensue when Sky saw the count behind her rescuer.
(That awkward moment when the post doesnt send on the kindle.)
Kura left Sky for only a moment to get a first aid kit and fresh clothes. After she reurndshe removed thecoversfrom her, "Forgive me for the intrusion..." wth hat shestripped the wet mess down until she was completely unclothed. The fire was still strong enough to kee the room heatedand Sky somewhat warm from the coldness of the clothes. kura began to dry hr a little with a towel before pulling out a warm rag and dabbing the blood away, cleaning thewound. After she wiped the blood away she began to disinfect the wound wth some rubbing alcohol. The next part had two ways to go about healing her, but for a more natural way she chose the slightly more pinful way. "Thsi might hurt a little... Kura whispered to her before pulling out aneedle and some thread. She quickly threaded the needle bfore deftly stitching up the wound, occassionly looking over to Sky to see if the pan got to her. After stitching her up she tied a knot and cut the thread. Now that her tedius wounds were taken care of she clothed Sky before burying herin blankets to kee her warm before speaking, "You wll be okay..." and without another wordshe got up and left to warm up some soup andbrew afresh cup of tea for her. After a few minutes she returned and put the small meal on a table beforetaking aspoonful of soup and holdingit out for her. "You needto eat..." her vtone was more of acommand than suggestion as she waited.
It as in Kuras natue to b motherly. most of th was taken rm her own moher o taking care of those in need. She had concern forthe well beings of others since life was so transient. At this moment her focus was nursing this girl back to health yet no reaizing this was the sky piratese knewwhen she was youner.

Vladimir wasn't sure if he should mention his unique ability to heal to Kura as his clothes were not dry yet and he wasn't sure she might take the news. So he simply stayed back and allowed her to do her own thing. He would leave his breakfast on the kitchen table and sit in a chair across from Sky. It was only a matter of time before she awoke and saw the man she feared. Vladimir would then turn to Kura. "Will she be alright?"
Sky wasn't totally unconscious but she was tired. She just needed the rest even if it were relatively short. The sound of Vlad's voice did nothing to help ease her enough to sleep, popping her eyes open and slowly looking in his direction. She'd fall silent, wide eyed and stare at the monster as he spoke to Kura, tugging the warm blankets up around herself with a small wince of pain from the stitching on her back.
Edit:
When Vlad peeked outside, he'd note winged figures falling back into the shadow of trees before fully disappearing.
After Sky was taken care of she sighed as she hid under the covers. At the moment she looked to Vlad, "Yes, she'll be alright." Kura replied before looking to Sky, tugging the blankets off over her face, "Come on, you need to eat something..." Kura cooed now holding the soup to her. She was concerned over Sky's well being and to be honest she was afraid that without eating she might not do too well. "Come on, even a little." Kura prodded her a bit with her hand. Alas, she resorted to the most childlike treatment, "Choo-choo here comes the train~" Kura smiled now trying to get Sky to smile, even just a little, but not even, she just needed a reaction.

Vladimir got up from the chair and started making his way over to the two. "Here let me hel-" He was interrupted by himself when he caught his foot on a loose strap from the very loose robe he was wearing. He wobbled in place for a few seconds trying to keep his balance before he extended his hands towards Kura. She wouldn't be able to catch him thanks to the bowl in her hand, so Vlad would then fall to the ground bringing her with him. When he opened his eyes to see what had happened he was surprised. He was on top of Kura with a warm sensation running down his chest. The soup she had been holding spilled all over the both of them and was a thick, white mixture that would be mashed in between their bodies. Vladimir would then also realize that his robe had come undone and only his backside was covered by it. Both his hands ended up on top of the sensitive parts of her chest. He looked up now staring in to Kura's eyes. For the first time in a long time, he himself looked embarrassed.

Kura looked over to Vlad, "Oh su---" she was cut off when she saw Vlad wobble a bit as he then fell on her. Kura let out a yelp as he did in fact land right on top of her. As the soup spilled everywhere onto the two of them she let out a small whimper of distaste as the cream of potato soup spilled everywhere. She shuddered as the warm mess sank into her shirt and down her skin. Kura looked up to Vlad seeing him relatively close to her as she stared into his eyes. Entranced she stared into the crimson eyes that looked down upon her and she smiled a bit awkwardly, "Vlad you got it all over me...and it's so...thick and warm.." she said a bit sheepishly, "It's everywhere..." she muttered. However, she also felt some pressure on her chest as she squirmed a bit. "Uhm..." she then noticed something else, "Uhm Vlad, something's pressing against my leg..." and at that she looked down realizing it was the spoon. Kura then sighed a bit since they were still covered, "Here, let me help clean you off..." Kura said feeling bad about the situation before looking around for a towel, though none were there. "Oh..." she seemed a bit disappointed but then just began to lick it off of herself first. She lapped up the warm soup from her one arm and off her face before smiling to Vlad and gently licked his cheek which had some remnants of the white stuff.
Poor Sky. She just stared at the two with a bewildered look on her face. This was so wrong on so many levels, and she wanted to get up and shove Vlad off of Kura protectively but the way they looked at each other made her pause. Her cheeks went a bit red, feeling increasingly awkward particularly as Kura licked the soup off herself, and then Vlad's cheek. An eyebrow lifting sharply with a mixture of disgust and confusion ever evident on her features.
Exhaustion or not, Sky pushed herself to a stand and wrapped one of the sheets around herself before searching quickly for her clothing. Every part of her ached from running for days, and finding little knotholes to curl up in to keep hidden from her stalkers. Among them likely Talon, though he wasn't as worrisome as the clan that had been hunting her. She'd click her tongue against her teeth before spotting the clothing, searching through it for a single fish origami which she'd toss into the air and bring to life. Her fingers curled against the air in front of her, near her face as it started to work its magic, revitalizing her enough to help heal the wound on her back and grant her some energy. She'd keep a close eye on the two who seemed rather caught in their own little world, hoping they wouldn't take notice of her immediately.
