"My temper doesn't have a check." Ember growled. She was angry and without an outlet. Flint ran up to ember and jumped on her back. The kitten clung to her cloak and purred loudly. trying to sooth her temper. it worked if only a little.

Shizuo led Saki to the infirmary where the kid should be. He walked to the receptionist desk. "I'm looking for a kid who likes to be called Burner, kind of a hot head." The woman pointed the two in the right direction. "You doing good kid?" He asked walking through the door.

Burner glanced up from where he was reading a book his mother had brought by a few days ago. She said it would keep his mind of the pain, but he figured the herbal remedies the clinic was using was doing that. Still it kept him from getting absolutely bored out of his mind in here when he was by himself. Which wasn't that often really. Though currently he was the only person here, so he had expected one of his siblings to be in any second. The teenager certainly hadn't expected Shizuo to be visiting him.
"All things considered,yeah," he said, putting the book down. "Right now I'm more likely to die from being so freaking stir crazy than from my injuries. They say I'm gonna have one hell of a scar, but that with proper treatment it shouldn't impede my movement."

"Let my eyes off of you for a day and your already hurt again." Saki came in behind the towering Shizuo. "Did your head even finish healing before this happened?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, temper Ember. Do you condone this sort of behavior dear Lazuli?" Maim pulled her cloak around her tightly hiding most of her face, but revealing her smiling form. "You seem to be the more quite one of the family."

Flaming ears was here too? Well bless his soul. Burner cocked an eyebrow at her before the tiniest of smirks played across his face, "I'll have you know it healed up just fine, and hey, at least it wasn't my head that got hurt this time."
"Just your chest, honestly you're lucky you didn't die, dear brother," of all the siblings to visit him now it just had to be Salem. Burner rolled his eyes in annoyance. If boredom wasn't going to do him in then his irritating older brother would. He at least had enough strength now to wrap the IV cord around his own neck and it was becoming more tempting as the days went on.
At least today Salem looked like he was going to bottle up his dramatic tendencies. The look in his blue eyes was enough to tell Burner that something had the young man troubled. He'd ask later. When it was just them.
With grace born from their upbringing the young man turned to the two guests in his younger brother's room with a brilliant smile and bowed.
"Oh my, visitors, and one of them is the man who saved you, Shizuo right? I thank the both of you from the bottom of my heart for dropping in, and to think-" he turned to Burner with a little twinkle in his eye that gave the younger the impression he was going to want to punch Salem in a second, "Blitzy you have people outside of the family that like you or at the very least tolerate you, I'm so happy."
The boy gave a hand sign that was offensive in three of the four territories and Salem simply smiled. Burner wasn't going to feel sorry either. Salem knew just how to tick him off and he would purposely do so just to get a rise out of him. Apparently the second oldest thought it was "cute" when his younger brother got so riled up over what he thought were trivial things.
"Dear me, such vulgarity and with guests present?" Salem said, gently flicking one strand of orange hair playfully.
"Your fault, jackass," the teen grumbled, shying away in irritation when Salem went to flick another strand of his hair.

Lazuli looked towards Maim with a weak smile. "I wouldn't change a thing about Ember."
OOC: Why do I feel the need to write so much when it comes to Burner and his family?

OOC: Because it's fascinating? and definitely entertaining. IC: Ember sighed. "My temper is hopeless." She pulled Flint from her back and cradled him in her arms as she pet him. She let up on her angry stride and stuck close to Lazuli's side. "I'm due back at the firework shop." She considered skipping but she was currently low on cash after dropping off leena's bit and paying out bribes cost quite a sum after a while. "Coming with or heading back?" She looked pleadingly at Laz. she wouldn't say she would be sad if she left but she'd always been terribly dependent on Laz. At least emotionally. "It's just some pit work... you can keep yourself cool, we'll be out of sight." Flint shot a tiny glare at Laz but wouldn't chase her off. He didn't want to make Ember upset again.

"Oh, um sure," she said, and she was suddenly aware of how much time she had left. Didn't that guy say he was only giving her a couple of days? He could change his mind at any moment and so she decided that she would spend as much time with her sister as possible.

"And you thought my nickname was bad for you kid." Shizuo ignored the noble charade. "And who might you be pretty boy?"

"Oh, how rude of me. I'm Salem Restins, second oldest child of the Restins family," he said, running his fingers through Burner's hair idly before bringing his hand up quickly to avoid getting bitten. Blue eyes slipped down to look into Burner's own. "Well, I better let them know you're as lively as ever. You know how mother and father get."
"Don't come back," Burner grumbled, and Salem just flicked his brother's orange hair fondly one last time, much to Burner's chagrin.
"Worry not, little brother," he said lightly, but Burner could tell it wasn't with his usual gusto. "I'll be heading out of the territory in a couple of days."
Worry settled into the bottom of Burner's stomach, heavy like a rock. Something must have come up. His brother had been on extended leave to help mother and father with the festival coming up soon. For him to go back-especially with all the preparations still needing done-didn't bode well.

Saki tried her hardest to hide her laugh, but failed. "Awww Blitzy such a cute nickname." She walked over to him poking him in the cheek playfully. "Seems to fit you well Burner." She raised back up from the younger boys bed and placed her full attention the older attention. "Nice to meet you Salem, my name is Yuki Maragi a pleasure to make your aquatints." She bowed to the older brother.

If looks could kill-at the moment Burner really wished they could-then Saki would've died on the spot. He hated, absolutely hated, to be called "Blitzy". If he'd had enough strength he would've punched Salem in the jaw for calling him it earlier. Mainly because his older brother knew better.
"The pleasure is all mine," Salem said as he returned the bow.

"Don't let your heart fall for the princly act Hot-head." He ignited a cigarette as he scolded the young woman. "He seems more of a womanizer then anything."

"Yeah, if he were into women," Burner snorted derisively. Salem walked over and cupped his younger brother's face before pinching Burner's cheeks and pulling. The boy let out an irritated half growl and brought his hands up to remove Salem's fingers from his face with a scowl-which looked rather strange with his face being pulled and all.
"How rude," Salem scolded, finally releasing his face when a pressure point was pressed. The younger fire calgor rubbed his face and gave his brother a glare. In truth Salem was courting a young woman by the name of Clarette and Burner was surprised to say he actually liked her. She was very kindhearted and they'd shared some nice conversations when Burner wasn't out terrorizing the town. He wondered faintly when she would return from visiting her parents in a small town just near the border.
It was a shame with Salem's job as an ambassador the two didn't have time for themselves and when they had time for themselves then that meant that Salem wouldn't be bugging Burner as much. And even though he wouldn't admit it aloud he was glad Salem had found someone that made him happy.

"You two certainly don't act like nobles, but I guess that's to be expected of brothers." Shizuo blew a puff of smoke up into the air. "The food any good here kid? Because it looks like crap." There was a tray of food sitting absently on table near Burner's bed. "And has Princess came back, or has it just been pretty boy?"

"I'm beginning to wonder if I'm in a hospital or a prison," the boy noted wryly as he looked at the untouched food. At least the medical care was good. At the mention of his older sister he nods. "Several times in fact."
They'd all come by on multiple occasions over the past few days. Just last night Colburn had stayed up for most of the night to watch over his older brother. They'd only been able to take the youngest Restins home because his exhaustion eventually got the best of him and he'd fallen asleep at his brother's bedside. Which had been to everybody's relieve because the youngest had looked exhausted.
