The words you whisper are soothing to my torn soul...

The nursery of course, was Egypt-themed; the colors were sandy and camel brown, beige and white. Some things were golden, like the knobs of the dresser, and some things were darkish red, like the bedlinen of the twins. Yami didn't really like the idea of pink and blue for the babies, and because they had to share a room for now (stuffing people in

Mana was chopping up a carrot while he was up in the room, ready to dump it into a steaming bowl of cooking vegetables. She dazed off, frowning to herself. How would Pharaoh-sama react to this? She knew he wouldn't be happy about it; she wasn't even happy about it. But would he yell at her? Would he scream and 'disown' her? She did love him. He was her very best friend and in that sense, he was more like family. She couldn't handle the fact that he could easily look at her with disgust and shake his head, leaving her immediately with his favorite dinner and an empty heart to deal with

When he stepped into the kitchen with the chairs, Yami was just in time to hear Mana cry out in pain, and before he could ask what was going on, a knife clattered on the cutting board and the girl hurried over to the sink.

Startled, he put the chairs against the table and went to Mana's side, moving the sharp knife away as it was teetering with its blade over the edge. "Mana! Are you all right?" He asked, voice worried. Despite their earlier clashing, that didn't mean that Yami stopped caring for the girl. Mana was an important part of his life, and no argument would make him cease his fond feelings for her, as best friend and as a person. It had troubled him that his arguing had been with her - she was always so happy and positive, she didn't need fights in her life.

He watched as she held her finger under the running water. "Dearie, you can use a healing spell.."

Mana nodded, her voice shaky. "Y-yeah...I'm ok..." She sighed, moving to wrap her hand with a paper towel, pressing her cut into the fabric of the towel. "I just slipped and cut my finger, that's all." Hopefully she could find a bandaid because putting her hands in all that food, especially with the spices, wouldn't be good for either of them.

She looked up at Yami and smiled, pressing her finger to the cloth more. "I promise I didn't get any blood in the food, Pharaoh-sama! That wouldn't be very hygienic." She listened to his words about a spell and nodded. "I could but my staff is upstairs in my room and I don't want to have to go get it...I have to watch over the food."

"I have to go get the twins anyway, I can run by your room and get your staff for you," Yami offered. He couldn't care less about the food, it would be a waste if it got spoiled, but Mana's health was far more important than the vegetables.

It certainly was smelling good and he had worked up quite an appetite, not having eaten anything else since lunch. He smiled at her. "Take it easy, Mana-dear. I don't want you to be cutting any fingers off today. Or any day."
