Ryhe shook his head yet, "We've decided to wait until it's born to. It'd be easier to pick out the the best name if you can see it, y'know?" He chuckled and let go of his legs, "Have you boys ever fallen in love?"

Sol laughed. "Me? No, I've never fallen in love. Back when I was a kid, I had some fancies, but after our parents died..." Sol shrugged and tumbled a hand through the air. "Things got a little out of control. Somnus and I haven't really had time for any sort of relation, point of case - you're our first friend."

" Doun' I feel special." He sighed, "Well, you two will defiantly find a place here. There are CHILDREN more dangerous than you two, I tell ya. You'll fit right in. That's what I love about this place, no matter how dangerous and powerful you are, yer accepted."

Sol perked, interested in Ryhe's remarks. "Really? There are children here with that much power? I wonder they control it or learn to control it." The draconic side of him showing through. "No matter. What's that other side that you've got?"

Ryhe blinked, then his brow rose, "Other side? What do you mean by 'What's that other side that you've got'?" Ryhe crossed his arms.

Sol frowned thoughtfully at the fire. "I mean what you became when my brother picked a fight with you." He looked up at Ryhe with sorrowful eyes. "I regret that incident very much. I'm sorry that he hurt you."

Ryhe took a deep breath, "Oh.. donna worry about it." Ryhe looked into the fire himself, "Around the time I was thirty... Gods, that was so long... Anyway, I was a knight in those days. I was at the top, well known and loved by all... till I was assigned to this palace. I desperately fell in love with the princess. Hell, I proposed. But... one night, when I was guarding her door... this, thing, attacked. I think she was a vampire. She grabbed me by the shoulders and, Oh... gods it burned so badly." He rolled up his sleeve and showed one of the hand-print burns on his shoulder. Even with the full arm tattoo on his right arm, the burn was visible. "She chanted something... 'Fangs of a vampire, in the form of a wolf, people will scream with just one look. By baying moon, or one new to the sky. Forever, you'll kill, till by silver you die.' I became what you saw, but with a werewolf's body and for five-hundred years, I became that every full and new moon. I found the cure recently... but it left me with that damned berzerkir. I donna think I'm even gonna be free of this curse..."

"Oh I don't know. Maybe you've already found your cure." Sol said reflectively and checked on his brother. Somnus just curled up on his side. "You don't ever change around your wife, do you?"

"She's seen it, hell... the woman changes into a dragon herself when mad enough. I've only changed in front of her to protect her. The bezerkir is much better than the wolf... he doesn't want to hurt her anymore than I do. If I was still a were, she'd be dead by now." Ryhe sighed and ran a hand through his red hair and coughed a bit.

"You okay? I really wish you let me heal some." Sol asked as he looked back at him. "Ah, at least you're happy. You wouldn't mind if we visited, would you? I'd like to meet your wife and your child, once it's born. Somnus will probably behave now that he knows you better."

"I'm fine, and I'd love for you two to visit. My wife would like to hear about you and yer powers." Ryhe smiled, he liked the idea. He had made a lot of friends here, but these two were some of the most interesting he's met.

Sol nodded once and grinned brightly at Ryhe. "Thank you. I would enjoy that myself."
Somnus sat up and crawled into his brother's lap, where he promptly fell asleep. Sol chuckled softly. He held his brother and checked his injuries again.
"I don't think he'll ever grow out of my lap." He said softly with a laugh. "That's alright. He's all I've got left."

Ryhe smiled weakly and opened his mouth to say something, but he felt his chest tightening as he reached out to place his hand on Sol's shoulder to reassure him. Ryhe's brow furrowed and he looked into the fire, breathing a bit harder. He stood, "E-excuse me..." He held his hand to his chest and walked out of the camp.

Sol looked after him worriedly. "Okay, but if you need some help, call for me. I will hear you." He called and shifted his brother's position in his arms.

Once Ryhe was far enough in, he let himself fall to his hands and knees and he threw up, the beer coming back to him. This whole time, he was keeping back the headache that came after the drinking, it wasn't so bad. This time, however, when he expelled, there was blood mixed into it. He wiped his mouth off and rocked back onto his heels and up onto his feet. He grumbled a bit and staggered back.

Sol cocked his head. He heard Ryhe throw up and remembered that he had drinken quite a bit. He hoped that he was otherwise fine. Sol admitted that he worried about the other man, but he tended to worry about everyone. He worried about his brother the most. Somnus never could seem to stay out of trouble.
"Better now?" Sol asked Ryhe.

"Much." He admitted. His chest was tightening still and he felt weak, but, that usually happens after a night of drinking. Well, the chest thing was new. He didn't know what was going on there. He looked at his left hand and wiggled his fingers as it began feeling numb.

Sol noticed him wiggling his fingers. "Something wrong?"
Somnus shifted in his arms and murmured. He was dream walking, something that he often did on accident. The bad thing was walking into a nightmare. Sol was with him, though, and that helped.

Ryhe grunted a bit as his skin paled and his heart throbbed. His left arm remained numb and sweat started to roll down from his forehead. He yelled out and fell back, gripping his chest harder. His face grimaced as he panicked. Not another heart attack...

"Ryhe!"
Somnus tumbled out of Sol's lap and stood, ready for action at his brother's cry. Sol knelt beside Ryhe, taking one of his hands and placed his other on chest. The first rays of dawn began to strike the earth. Soft light gathered around Sol and collected in his hand.
"Look at my eyes Ryhe. Please let me help." Sol whispered softly, in a soothing, though compelling, voice.

Ryhe rolled his head to Sol as he gasped for breath. He coughed, more blood on his lips. He thought it over, then looked into Sol's eyes. Ryhe's own eyes started fluttering as he felt weaker and weaker.

Sol murmured softly to Ryhe. He tried to stop the muscle spasms and transported oxygen directly to the tissue. He checked all of the main arteries and blood vessels leading into the heart to be sure that there was no blockage and corrected it if there was. Somnus placed a hand on his brother’s back. Sol used some of his brother’s strength to ease Ryhe’s pain. “That’s looking better now.” Sol whispered and stopped the bleeding in Ryhe’s lungs and throat. “Would you like to rest now? Somnus can put you to sleep if you’d like.”

Ryhe took a deep breath and sat up slowly and smiled to them, "Thanks a lot lads, I'm fine." He held his head and rubbed it, then looked to them, "Is there a way I can re-pay ya?"

"Friendship? That is nice." The brothers shared a look. "But would it be too much to ask you to adopt us as brothers too?"
They waited pensively, watching Ryhe with intense gazes gold and black.

Ryhe grinned, "I'd be honored to call you brothers, boy-os!" Ryhe grinned, He only had one brother of his family that he really liked, Tyler, quite obviously. Now that he was given the opportunity for more brothers he liked, he snatched it happily.
