Within the dark, empty cottage, clicking noises could be heard. Soft, faint, but there, if anyone dared to hang around and listen for more than a moment....

Ai yawned, looking out the window. She didn't really look like her normal happy vibrant always cheerful self... she'd been worried this whole week. Ether had taken ill, and none of the healers knew what to do. Ai had spent all week either outside, trying to forget everything, inside, working on paperwork (she hated the damn stuff), or by the bedside, watching as her spirit's face became paler and paler. She was worried, although she wasn't about to admit it. She really wanted to....... she didn't know, but life like this was becoming a strain on her. It showed in her face.

"Agggaaaain?" The voice, hidden among the clicking and shimmering streaks of light which made up this enormous room, sounded annoyed, and exasperated.
"Of course." This voice was brisk, stern, and sounded like a mother talking to a child. There was an outburst of sadistic giggles from a corner, and then a muffled yelp. "Let her go dear." There was a thump, then the sound of cursing.
"Fine," Two boot hears clicked against the cold stone floor. "I'll do it."
"Lovely. Tell her.... tonight. Yes, tonight.... let it begin."
