Zero chuckled quietly at his comment. How were they doing the same thing? Ignorance surely was bliss. He rose an eyebrow as the guy spoke. He heard he had a friend who lived out here.. How the hell did he head that? No one even knew.. His thoughts halted as he remembered watching Allen fighting with someone. A hunter. Was there a connection? Zero shook His head some after thinking for a moment. "I live here, and I haven't seen anyone else around recently.." He answered casually, get ing no indication that he was lying. "What's their name? I might be able to help, but I can't promise."

Kaito shook his head when he spoke, listening to his words and his apology. "Don't apologize.. Okay?" He spoke calmly, sincerely.

Kaito slowly loosened his hold on Fijore as he finally began calming down, but did not release him. "Mind if I go with you this time?" He asked quietly, briefly glancing at him, then averted his eyes shyly. "Or I can stay..and watch your brother." He murmured.

Allen had shifted in his sleep, almost wrapping himself around Kaneko instinctively. However, as he felt an unknown presence nearby he was woken from his blissful sleep and simply laid there.

Zero lifted his head as he heard the snow crunch as if someone were nearby, and then he caught the scent of the stranger. He smirked some and slowly followed the scent of the boy until he could vaguely see him. "It's a little late to be out wandering in the snow, don't you think kid?"

Allen shook his head. "No.. It's just the first time I've enjoyed it this much." He murmured quietly. He listened to her words and lifted his head. "We should do that next time, so I can try it." He said softly with a small smile. Zero chuckled. "You suddenly got a sweet tooth?" He asked teasingly. Allen chuckled quietly, catching it.

Later that night after everyone had eaten dinner, and Allen had laid down after drinking some herb tea, Zero stepped outside to take a look around. He wasn't sure if Kaneko had laid down or not so he did his best to be quiet in case she had. Something was eating at him, a feeling if you wanted to say.

Allen smiled as she spoke about her mother used to make her hot coco inn the winter time. He still didn't entirely understand what holiday spirit was, but she was happy and that made him happy. He carefully sipped from his coco and savored the taste. It was really good, and his child like expression showed it. Zero chuckled. "First time having hot coco?" He teased some, sipping from his own mug.

Kaito said nothing more as he wrapped his arms around Fijore's trembling body as the man clung to him, and held him. There was no need for words.

Zero smirked some as he watched Kaneko make each of them a cup of coco, actually smiling a little once she came over with the cups on a tray. "Thank you." He said as he carefully picked up one of the cups and slowly inhaled the sweet scent of chocolate and peppermint from the candy cane.

Allen lifted his head some when she spoke and carefully held the warm mug. "Hot chocolate with peppermint?" He asked curiously, given the sweet smell and warmth of the mug. He smiled some and leaned up just enough to gently kiss her cheek. "Thank you, Kaneko." He murmured quietly.

After waiting for him calm down, Kaito slowly placed a hand over one of his. "I'm here.. if you ever want to vent or talk or anything.. I know nightmares are hard to deal with sometimes." He said softly. He just wanted him to know he was there if he ever needed a shoulder to lean on.

"You're welcome." He said when she thanked him for the blanket. Zero smirked and nodded lightly. "Hot chocolate sounds good, and I bet Allen would like some too right about now." He said, hinting to her it might help him cheer up.

Allen closed his eyes and tried to relax for the moment. His eyes were starting to bother him since getting a glimpse of the snow. It had been so long.. Even if he could see again, his eyes would need to adjust.

Zero nodded and led Allen back inside the warm house and helped him to the living room where he could sit. Hot coco sounded really good right now. Then he got a blanket and carefully draped it over Kaneko's shoulders, since she had mentioned being cold. He was chilly, but he wasn't really cold.

Allen at some point stared at the falling snow as if actually watching it. A memory flashed by in his mind and he held his head. The memory of watching snow before getting attacked and being left to die in the snow as it turned red. Zero cautiously approached him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Hey, you alright?" He asked cautiously, ready to act if needed. Allen smirked some. "I saw it.. Briefly.. But I saw the snow falling." He chuckled. "Then it was bleeding."

"I haven't seen snow since everything went black.." He murmured. Maybe the tea really could bring back his eye-sight. Zero raised and glanced at Kaneko briefly. "C'mon, time to get inside." He said to her calmly, mostly worried of him having a breakdown of something. Those types of memories were never good for someone's sanity.

Kaito slowly came to as Fijore's body temperature rose. He knew it was a bad idea to try and wake someone having a nightmare unless you knew how.

Kaito chuckled quietly and closed his eyes as Fijore fell asleep against him.
