Wards, Truth and boundaries (Closed RP, Tylendel, Vanyel, Kusuriyuri)

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

Having received the request from Kurama to check on Vanyel and Tylendel, Kusuriyuri followed the directions to their room. He'd noticed the pain in Kurama's features when he spoke of the others and it did concern him. It was possible what was accomplished with Vanyel's and Tylendel's healing would help, though Kusuriyuri wasn't entirely sure of it.

With him, he has his case, full of papers and ink to create wards as well as to take notes should he feel that Matt's runes may benefit the boys more.

And, though he tries not to focus on it, his mind dwells on Vanyel's declaring Tylendel his truth. He wonders, with such a mindset, if what he can do will benefit them at all.

Having heard the quiet knock on the door, Vanyel slowly pulls himself from Tylendel's arms. He gets out of the bed, and walk over to the door, opening it carefully.

"Kusuriyuri?" he said softly, when the door opened. "I see Kurama got a chance to talk to you? 'Lendel wanted answers as soon as he was sorted, and.." At this point he gestures helplessly.

[shaychlendel.livejournal.com]

Tyneldel made an incoherent snort, grabbing for Vanyel again before trying to sit up on the bed. He was exhausted, not to mention traumatized.

"Van...? Who's there?" He rubbed his face with his hands, trying to wake himself up. Why wasn't Vanyel next to him, where he should be?

[vanyel-peacock.livejournal.com]

He rushed back over to the bed, wrapping his arms around Tylendel. "It's Kusuriyuri," he said softly. "I asked Kurama to send him by when he stopped in to check on us while you were sleeping."

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

"Pardon the intrusion," Kusuriyuri says softly as he steps into the room. "We met at your sorting," he adds.

He looks between the two. Neither of them appear well rested or at ease. He opens himself, passively receiving what there is to feel in the room and between them.

[shaychlendel.livejournal.com]

"Mmyeah, I remember you," he mumbled through his hands. He felt like he'd been trampled by a herd of horses. "Kasrayi, right?" He was still too incoherent to even come close to pronouncing it right. "You made Van feel better..."

[vanyel-peacock.livejournal.com]

"Time to wake up a bit, 'Lendel," he said gently, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.

He looked at Kusuriyuri, watching him carefully. "We managed to control things so that they didn't leak much past Gryffindor, I think," he said softly.

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

"Perhaps," Kusuriyuri concedes, both to helping Vanyel and to them controlling their reaction. "However," he pauses a moment to consider his words. "There is still much to be done and it would be more easily and completely accomplished were it not needed to contain the out pouring." He looks around the room, his eyes seeing both the physical and the traces of damage the room took. "It would be wise to prepare."

[shaychlendel.livejournal.com]

Tylendel groaned and flopped back onto the bed, before rolling off it and onto his feet. One hand still gripped Vanyel's tightly.
"Let's get this over with," he mumbled. All politeness left him until he was wide awake.

[vanyel-peacock.livejournal.com]

Vanyel stood up. "Better sooner than later," he said. His hand was clutching Tylendel's with equal tension.

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

Kusuriyuri nods before setting down his case. He spreads his arms, windmilling them as wards appear. As though pressing them with his hands, he sets them on the walls without touch. They are the wards he uses to contain his own energy. These will do to start the process.

[shaychlendel.livejournal.com]

Tylendel jumped, staring at the floating bits of paper. It wasn't abnormal to see someone moving things without touching them - thus the nature of magic - but to have the papers appear seemingly out of nowhere...

His trust for Kusuriyuri was rapidly dwindling, and his grip on Vanyel's hand grew tighter.

[vanyel-peacock.livejournal.com]

He moved so that he was standing slightly behind Tylendel, his body pressed against the other boy. "What's that?" he asked hesitantly.

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

The wards begin to manifest their writing. "Fuda," Kusuriyuri answers. "They work to block certain energies, to contain it. These," he gestures to the walls, "are to contain my energy. It is a place to start."

[shaychlendel.livejournal.com]

He relaxed slightly. Physically manifesting shields, that wasn't a new concept. Sayvil had mentioned doing something like it.

"What about our energy?"

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

Kusuriyuri nods to his case. "I will need to actively examine and write the wards. Those I have written, I can produce in that manner," he gestures to the walls. "However, I am not sure the balance to use."

[vanyel-peacock.livejournal.com]

"Can we sit?" he asked. Vanyel was still rather exhausted from everything that had happened before he arrived here, and tended to tire quickly. He was leaning slightly against Tylendel.

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

Kusuriyuri nods. "I will need to examine you separately first," and, while he feels it should be obvious, he adds, "without you touching." He looks between them. "I shall not deliberately cause pain, but it may be a part of the examination. If you touch during, it will prolong this. There are medicines," he gestures at his case, "to reduce any pain after."

[shaychlendel.livejournal.com]

Tylendel gave Van an uneasy look. He didn't want to be the first to let go, and he especially didn't want Vanyel to be the first. But, he minutely loosened his grip. Maybe if they went together it wouldn't be so bad...

[vanyel-peacock.livejournal.com]

Vanyel loosened his grip, not yet letting go. "I'll be right here, 'Lendel. Letting go doesn't mean leaving," he said quietly. "And the sooner this is done, the better."

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

"The one who will be first will need to lie on the bed. The other, please stand over there," he gestures to the farthest corner from the bed, "and remain until the examination is complete." While speaking, he is preparing himself, drawing in the energies he can reach, focusing them, turning out unneeded thoughts.

[shaychlendel.livejournal.com]

He shifted his gaze from Kusuriyuri to Vanyel, reluctantly slipping his hand free. He squared his shoulders, and turned to lay on the bed.

"I'll go first, Van," he murmured so (presumably) only Vanyel could hear him. "If he makes any mistakes with me he won't make them with you."

[vanyel-peacock.livejournal.com]

Vanyel took a deep breath, and leaned over to kiss Tylendel lightly on the lips. "Love you," he said quietly, and walked away. On his way to the corner, he grabbed a chair, dragging it with him, before taking a seat in the appointed corner, and watching carefully. His hands were running up and down his legs rather rapidly.

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

When Vanyel sat in his chair, Kusuriyuri moved closer to the bed. He places his hands over Tylendel, one over his head and one over his chest. He uses a light reiki touch, just enough for him to read the flow of energy through Tylendel, but not enough to change anything. He frowns slightly in concentration at what he finds. Tangles, snarls, outright wounds in the channels. A had not been this damaged.

[shaychlendel.livejournal.com]

The metallic heat... it was uncomfortable. Healing Did Not feel like this. Healing was like being submerged in warm water, a gentle touch of a friend. Not like this.

He tensed, every muscle in his body growing rigid as Kusuriyuri imposed his energy upon him. It was not horrible, not completely, but it was not welcome.

[vanyel-peacock.livejournal.com]

Vanyel tensed up, watching Tylendel. He was fighting every urge he had to go over to him, to help.

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

Kusuriyuri withdraws his energy. "Are you in pain?" he asks softly as he moves to his case. While waiting for an answer, he takes a piece of paper and beings writing symbols and characters on it, ones that should properly block those channels that need to be blocked.

[shaychlendel.livejournal.com]

"No," he ground out, keeping quite still, watching Kusuriyuri write with rapt and suspicious attention. Not that he could read what was on the wards, but it made him feel bette that he was watching for trouble.
"Just unused to the feeling."

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

"Is that so?" he asks softly, finishing the last character. While waiting for the ink to dry, he looks up. "If desired, I can leave some medicine for headache, should you need it."

His eyes return to the paper and it is dry. He stands and hands it to Tylendel. "It should feel as if there is a wall, but not painful. If it is painful, it will need to be revised." He watches, both physically and energetically, to see if there is something he missed.

[shaychlendel.livejournal.com]

He recalled Vanyel telling him that someone named "Snape" had already provided medicines, so he shook his head, taking the piece of paper.

"That shouldn't be necessary- Oh!" He blinked, surprise mingled with fear as he felt shields go up around him instantly, silencing the static tow of unease and unhappiness that had plagued him since his memories returned.

[vanyel-peacock.livejournal.com]

"You ok?" he asked, nervously. He watched Tylendel carefully, for any sign of something wrong.

[shaychlendel.livejournal.com]

"I'm...fine," he said, giving Kusuriyuri an uneasy look. He bowed his head, grudgingly grumbling out a thank-you.

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

Kusuriyuri nods. "If it becomes uncomfortable, it can be rewritten. It will work for now, until you are more recovered."

He concentrates a moment and a stack of the same ward appear in his hand. He hands them to Tylendel. "As you see fit to use them."

He gestures for Vanyel and Tylendel to trade places.

[vanyel-peacock.livejournal.com]

Vanyel got up from the chair nervously, and went to sit down next to Tylendel, wrapping himself around him again. "You're sure you're ok?" he asked.

[shaychlendel.livejournal.com]

"I promise," he said, kissing Vanyel's cheek. "It was just a little surprising."

And, though he wouldn't outright admit it yet, he was starting to feel much better.

"You will be fine as well," was his assurance. He stood with a nod to Kusuriyuri and took his place at the chair, watching intently.

[vanyel-peacock.livejournal.com]

He nodded, still worried about the whole thing, and stretched out on the bed, his hands clasped across his chest. "Ok," he said softly. "I guess I'm ready."

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

Kusuriyuri repeats his actions over Vanyel, examining his energy, but not close enough to change anything. He frowned slightly. So much damage. What had been going on? And, Vanyel was tense, closed against him, as well, making the reading take longer than it had with Tylendel.

With the frown still on his lips, he returned to his paper and pen to write up the ward without a word.

[vanyel-peacock.livejournal.com]

He made a few small noises, and tensed up as the energy passed across him. Vanyel was more and more scared by this. It felt almost like the beginning of when the everything went wrong, so he was tensed against the pain he expected.

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

Kusuriyuri added kanji for healing to the ward he was constructing. He rose and handed it to Vanyel. "Here," he murmured, watching the boy carefully, only passively noting his energy. He had been aware that the examination had hurt him.

[vanyel-peacock.livejournal.com]

He took the paper, his hands shaking slightly. "Thanks," he said softly. "That just, it reminded me of things."

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

Kusuriyuri bowed slightly. "It was not my intention to cause harm. It was needed to read the flow of energy through your body. I am sorry it caused you distress."

When he straightened, he examined Vanyel visually. "There should be no pain from the ward. If there is, I will need to rewrite it."

[vanyel-peacock.livejournal.com]

He nodded. "Thanks. I think some things just need to heal the hard way. Between you and Professor Snape, I think I've gotten a good start. I'm not trying to ignore constant pain anymore," he said shyly.

[shaychlendel.livejournal.com]

Tylendel stood abruptly then, coming to stand next to Vanyel. He leveled a look at Kusuriyuri, and took Vanyel's hand.
"Thank you for all your help," he said in courtly fashion, "It is much appreciated. If you are done, then?"

[edomedpeddler.livejournal.com]

Kusuriyuri produced more copies of the ward in the same manner he'd replicated the one for Tylendel. He bowed slightly, just barely enough to be polite, picked up his case and left without another word.
