His eyes open that morning as his first thought it to check on rosette so he turns towards the direction her bed with sort of a yawn. The blanket lay on the floor of the cold desolate room bar feet could be seen in the dust of the flooring. Blinks as he gets up quickly following the footsteps as he says in a loud but still soft tone. "Rosette...Rosette. Where are you..?" She sat silently at the table her chin resting on the back of her hand.

"Rose... oh.." walks up to rosette and sits down at the table. "Rosette, you worried me..."sets his chin on the table. "I though you had run away or...worse..."

She looked to him soon trailing her eyes to the doorway. "We can go look for fruit its still ripe."

"Oh... does that mean were headed home soon?" He stands up looking at the door

"...No not yet." She spoke sadly as she stood up heading for the door walking outside.

"Ok..."he says with kind of a drag in his voice as he chases after her heading outside as well. She looked to the sky smiling a bit as she headed into the forest in the direction that her and Joshua had fallen upon Chrno.

"Oh hey that's where..." Figuring she already new what he was going to say so he just stands there looking down knowing the memories are probably paining her inside

"Hey Chrno you ok back there your slow."

"Yeah, yeah... I was just worried… about..." Runs to catch up with her

"Worried about what were the only living beings around here." She spoke as she looked to the sky.

Looks up at her. "I was just worried about... you Rosette"

"There's no reason to be I can take care of myself." She smirked soon stopping in front of a tree that held fruit.

"I know that I'm not worried about your physical well fare... Its what your feeling inside… all these good memories coming back from somewhere and sometime with people you cant be with again" -stands under the tree looking up

"Chrno... Where going to get Joshua back." She reached up picking an apple from the tree.

"B-but what happens if we don't rosette...?" a sad and solemn look falls upon his face

"Will find him then we will travel the world to write books all three of us."

"Ok if you say so ...ill have faith" .-leans against her-

Looks down at him. "You ok Chrno?"

"Its just as all this searching" looks up at her "we haven't really come any closer to finding him ... I don't know what to think some times and I don't like using my powers… I know they are to save you but they are killing you each time as well..."

"... Where going to find Joshua Chrno." She spoke sadly as she sat under the tree.

" Ok ...its just that I fear for you as well not just Joshua... in the fact that I'm killing you..." Sits down as well leaning up against her.

"Its ok you told me what would happen I agreed."

"But Rosette... I don't want Joshua... I want you..." He says sadly nuzzling his head gently into her hand for comfort

"... You can have me as long as I live I still have a few years you know that."

"I know but somehow I feel that really isn't going to be long enough…" buries his face against her stomach as he just tries to block thoughts from his head. She petted him softly as she started to hum softly. Sighing though feeling comforted by the hand upon her head he wraps his arms around her torso as he listens closely to her humming his ears twitch slightly

She smiled at him. "...Humans would only have a short time anyways Chrno I wouldn't even live long enough for you if I had lived a normal life..."

Sniffles a bit. "I know but it's just hard to imagine life without you..." doesn't let go. "I cant believe myself a demon is saying this about a nun ...but its true..."

"... Are these the same words you told to Mary Magdalene?"

"Well ...not exactly though it feels as if what I felt… for her isn't on the same par as you." looks away slowly still close to her

"Chrno I will stay as long as I can you know that..."

He sits up and looks into her eyes. "Rosette… I..."

Smiles sticking the apple in his mouth. "Eat up your the one who's supposed to protect us you know."

Grunts and bites down on the apple taking a bite out of it. "Hey what's the big deal ...mmm this apples good." A smile returns to his face as he looks at her "thanks rosette you can always cheer me up." He says as he hugs her and lays his head on her shoulder as he eats the apple. She nodded lightly closing her eyes as she rested. Smiles after eating the apple he slowly begins to drift to sleep again not really fully resting that night while he is hugging her. She sleeps silently her hand resting on his head. Slowly relaxing against her and adjusts himself in his sleep his head slides from her shoulder onto her chest. Her heartbeat is slow and weak. The soft beat of her heart haunts his dreams though he stays sleeping against her chest being comfortable
