Kaneko nodded, "Hear anything off, run. Got it. Thanks for the tip." She answered and gave him a soft hug. "Sleep well. Bye-bye, talk to you soon." She said softly and reluctantly let him go before leaving him to rest. She slowly made her way down the creaking steps. Taking this time to look at the paintings on the wall as she walked past. Once she reached the front door, she turned the knob and stepped outside. Kaneko closed the door behind her and gave one last look at the large lonely looking house before carefully making her way back to town. She kept her ears alert, listening for any sounds that might be off.

Having put the skates on and Troy put his shoes back on, Lyle pouted underneath his scarf and followed Troy to the rink. He did as he had seen Troy do and removed the guards then stepped onto the ice and wobbled a bit before managing to stand. "Alright, there I have done it. I have conquered the ice." Lyle said, stuffing his gloved hands in the pockets of his jacket. "Barely. Now you actually have to skate." Troy said, leaning against the small wall barrier. "You'll be fine Lyle. Ever skated?" He asked him. Lyle raised an eyebrow and looked at the other prince blankly. "I'll take that as a no. Just watch Aria and do what she's doing." Troy explained. Lyle grabbed onto the wall and pulled himself to it then looked at Troy. "What she is doing doesn't seem safe. If I fall Troy. If I fall and cut myself." He warned. Troy laughed and shook his head. "You won't fall. And besides, Aria hasn't fallen." Troy pointed out as the two of them turned to watch her.

Hearing his story, it made Kaneko mad that his supposed friends would leave when he needed them the most. She narrowed her eyes, if she had them in front of her she would slap every single one of them. How could they just up and leave him here all alone? "Well I'm not going to leave you. That's not what friends do. Friends look out for each other, they do whatever they can." She explained. Sure she couldn't stay here, she knew that but she wasn't going to just vanish like the others did. Kaneko wasn't that type of person.

"Cheers." She repeated and watched him move to the bed. He probably wanted to rest now. The pain must take a lot out of him, or the remedy had side effects that made him drowsy. "I am pretty sure that I can." It coudln't be too hard to get back right? "You get some rest. I promise to visit you when I get the chance." She would even surprise him with food. Hopefully he didn't mind takeout. Though homemade was a lot better and healthier. It would depend on the time. "I s-should probably go then and let you get some sleep." She smiled softly at him.

Kaneko listened carefully and watched his behavior. "I see, well that's a smart move." She admitted and giggled. If she made them, she would have done the same thing too honestly. Best to get ahead rather than rush to get it done later. She was glad to see that he didn't seem bothered by her questions. It was probably a nice change of pace for him.

Her eyes widened at the last comment he made. He was allowing her to visit him whenever she wanted? "R-really?" She asked and fought the urge to hug him. It was probably for the better though because seeing him closely, something seemed off. "Allen? Are you okay?" Kaneko asked and knelt down to look up at him. "Is it your eyes? W-why don't you take the remedy?" There was nothing wrong with taking a remedy if you needed it. It was medicine of the older times. Just like people took medicine nowadays, he took his remedies. Well, she hoped so. Last time she mentioned it he was insistent that he didn't need it.

Kaneko nodded. "I really did. There is something wonderful about watching someone work. I do not know what it is. Perhaps it is the attention to detail. Or how the person does it with such ease, never once faltering." She said in a hushed tone. Her eyes examined the glass from where she stood as he held it up for her to see, it looked really nice. The color was really pretty actually. Kaneko blinked a few times when he told her which remedy it was. The one for his eyes. The one he said he didn't need last night. "I see. Was this the one you were making at the park then when we first met?" She wondered if he'd get annoyed with all of her questions. She didn't ask them in order to annoy him, she asked because she was curious. Truth was, she wanted to know more about him. Well, whatever he felt comfortable telling her since she was too shy to ask questions most of the time.

Kaneko smiled, happy that Allen was really going to show her how this was done. She walked to the table and stood by, watching every little thing he did. She kept true to her word, watching him work in silence. It was like watching anyone at work when she was younger but this was more personal, perhaps because she was the only one here. Her parents weren't around asking questions.

The sound of the pestle grinding the herbs against the mortar could be heard and she gasped softly, raising a hand to cover her lips when the wisp of smoke rose from the mixture after he had added a clear liquid. She thought it was water, but clearly that wasn't it at all. Kaneko's eyes were glued to his work from beginning to end. When he was finished, she was silent. Her hand fell to her side, a grin on her face to show how happy she was. "That was such a treat to watch Allen. Really it was." She looked at the finished product. This was a remedy, a remedy he made thousands of times probably and sold to people. "Thank-you so much for allowing me to watch." She said, resting a hand on his shoulder gently. "What remedy did you make just now? Is this one that you sell in the market?" Kaneko asked, curious as ever.

Kaneko was more than thrilled when Allen asked if she wanted to see how he made the remedy. "Oh? Could I really?" She asked with a soft gasp, her hands clasped together. "I would love to watch you work. I promise to watch in silence as to not to distract you." She promised. The last thing he needed was a distraction. To see him work, it didn't seem like a big deal but to her it was. Watching someone work always fascinated her ever since she was a little girl. Whenever a repairman would come to the house when she was younger, she would watch them fix the AC or whatever it was. Strange wasn't it? It depended on who you asked.

Oh? He sold his remedies in town? What had made them stop coming though? That, was a question she was too afraid to ask. It was a very personal one, something he would share if he ever wanted to and felt comfortable enough to do so. She walked around, looking at all the herbs and ingredients on the bookshelf. Some she could name in her head but there were others that she had no clue what they were.

She chuckled softly, nodding her head. "Oh, it's alright Allen, I understand." Privacy was important you see. "Allen, is this where you keep the remedies as well?" She asked and realized that was probably a silly question. "Y-you'll have to forgive me. I don't own any herbal remedies so I wouldn't know where one stores them. It is why I ask. B-because you clearly enjoy making them and I'd like to learn about the things you like so much." She commented nervously.

'No I don't want to skate. Don't you see my perfect face? If I get a scar on it...' He wanted to say but Lyle only gave her an apologetic smile. "Well....I would but as you can see, I didn't come here with the intention of skating or doing anything. I came here with the intention of talking with Troy and watching you enjoy yourself. So no I didn't buy any skates to bring. So I guess maybe next year." He said, giving her a quick kiss on the cheek. "You're doing great though and I'm glad you're having fun." He said to her. "Lyle you can wear mine." Troy said with a grin. Lyle was about to protest but Troy only raised a hand. "It will be fine and it will make her happy." He said quietly so only Lyle could hear. "Go on and have fun, I'll join you in a bit." Lyle said, handing the guards back to Troy then walking to the bench to put them on.

Kaneko followed Allen, mostly keeping an eye on him to make sure to help him if it looked like he might fall but he never once faltered. He knew this house like the back of his hand. With every step taken, she heard a creak here and another there. It was an old house for sure. For being so old, there wasn't an exaggerated about of dust like one would think. Yes there were dust bunnies and particles in the air but nothing out of the ordinary. Dust was everywhere no matter how much you cleaned. Ever wear a clean shirt and then brush your hand along the sleeve? If you did, you'd know that dust particles would easily rush out into the air when you did that.

Kaneko was silent, taking in the details of his home. It was in such a better condition than other houses she had seen so even though it wasn't the newest house, it was very well taken care of. She stopped outside the small room before slowly walking in. There was a bookshelf filled with all sorts of things and it was clear that this was where he made his remedies. The books had collected dust and so had the table. The small bed confused her, was this where he slept? "So this is your study? Is this where you make your herbal remedies?" She asked him quietly.
