Love is not an Emotion It is a Constant State of Mind
Tyrese's shoulders were concrete, them liquefied into a slightly calmer form. Although Ty's eyes were closed, Hakem gave an approving nod, noticing the scent of fear and panic incrementally decreasing. "That's good, just focus on a happy image. Take deep breaths, we'll get through this." He proded quietly, just low enough for his voice to pervade the room. The teacher talked the younger bluenette off his mental edge, seeing his navy eyes blink open a good five minutes later. The house had quieted all except for their breathing and weak whimpering from the third floor. Stepping back, Hakem gave Tyrese room to breath and unwrap himself from the fetal position. The poor man looked akin to a human rag doll. Who was here and what was going on? He nodded sympathetically, readily, as Ty confessed he needed help. Whoever Sela may be was the one the author wanted them to turn their focus to. Vicky immediately strutted across the room and up the stairs, leaving her fiancee's mouth slightly agape before he gave up on saying anything at all. "Okay, Tyrese." He exhaled with a calm confidence, patting the other man's back, "Let's get this taken care of. Everything's going to be okay." The last statement seemed to release a relived expression on Ty's face. Hakem smiled briefly and led the way upstairs. He could hear what floor Vickie was on, holding to the railing until he saw her full figure facing away from him. After glimpsing the toddler in her arms, he stole a look at Tyrese. Not that he expected an explanation right now, but Hakem was puzzled. "Well, maybe her problem is splattered there on the floor now, hn?" He asked, almost gagging as he covered her mouth. He could smell her sweat as well, placing his free hand on the ginger's elbow so she knew he was behind her. He touched the child's forehead, feeling the heat radiating off her skin. He could smell she was a wolf,but even then she was unnaturally hot for their kind. Stay like that for too long and her kidneys would shut down. "Let's hurry and get her in a cool bath. Not too cold or she'll go into shock." He instructed, making sure Ty led the way to the nearest bathroom. Motioning for Vickie to go first, the male followed last into the master bathroom where the water was soon running. He got down to check the temperature himself, plugging the porcelain-lined drain so the water began to fill. "Alright, put her in."
Thoroughly knocked out, her body was limp as she was picked up, never noticing the sense of touch until she was up against their body. Her body was wet from sweat and hot from her fever; like she had been doing some vigorous activity out under the blazing sun. Her brow creased in discomfort. They weren't as hot as her daddy, but the added temperature was still uncomfortable. She didn't know who it was - their scent was entirely new to her. However, she was able to discern that they were female, from a number of things. Her delirious mind went to the first thought she normally thought whenever she was feeling bad, in any way. "Mo-mmy..." she mumbled quietly, nuzzling the woman's shoulder tiredly. It was about the only action she could do. Her limbs felt heavy and couldn't find the strength to lift them and wrap around the woman.
When a new hand touched her forehead, she once again whimpered in discomfort. Instinctively she drew her head away, turning it to the other side and burying her face into the crook of the woman's neck; who she still seemed to think was her mother. The only thing she knew next was the sound of water running. It was consistent and annoying to her ears. It was one of those noises that if kept going long enough, could rouse even the dead from their slumber. Groaning and squeezing her eyes shut tighter, she pulled her arms into her chest so they were tucked between her and the stranger, while she once again turned her head. She wasn't ready to wake up. She was still so tired.

Tyrese didn't know why, it wasn't like he fully believed the line...but hearing that things would be okay, it was like someone had lifted an anvil off his chest. It could get better if it wanted, but he appreciated the slightest relief. He smiled weakly up at his uncle, slowly heaving himself up to his feet as Takashi half jogged up the stairs. The wolf took the steps two at a time, coming to the landing to see his Hakem standing with Vickie, who was holding Sela. His daughter was unconscious, and his brows furrowed in concern as his gaze studied her face. Her cheeks were flushed red and her breathing was haggard behind her moans. Before he could spawn the worse kinds of ideas about what was happening, he heard a voice telling him to run water. With a nod, he turned and pushed open the door to his room. He showed the older adults to the bathroom, getting onto his knees to turn the first knob. He made three full turns, then a half turn with the hot water. The fluid flushed into the porcelain container, filling up almost a foot once Hakem got down and plugged it.Ty was the one to turn the water off again, offering to take Sela from the teacher he'd met back in his high school years. Hearing Hakem ask where the towel were, he pointed with the hand half tucked behind the wolfling, waiting until he turned to the right spot before lowering Sela into the water. It cover her hips and he laid her back more, supporting her shoulder and using his free hand to douse the rest of her. He kept this up, studying her face and keeping her from sprawling around in case she rebelled. "How long do I do this for? Do i need to call an ambulance?"

【"Imagine if the life that you thought you shared, xxxxWasn't really there...】
There was a quiet shift from the ginger, her nose scrunched and eyes squinted at the smell of Sela's vomit on the floor. It was pretty clear by now that the child was running a fever - maybe a stomach virus had gotten the best of her. After all, she was a child, susceptible to sickness. What made her wonder was if the child was a wolf like the rest of the family she had grown to love. Her own jealousy sparkled inside for a moment before ceasing and remaining silent; maybe if she was lucky enough, Hakem would accept her proposal when it came time and would make her one too... She moved Sela slightly, tossing her head over her shoulder to glance over at her fiance - who had only just now touched her. She thinned her lips out in a serious glance, pressing her face forward and using Sela's forehead to push her glasses back up the bridge of her nose. She continued to carry the toddler along with the other two bluenettes, her own hair now feeling vibrant and out of place. With a rather sympathetic yet confused look, she handed her back over to Tyrese, extending her arms so she wouldn't fall beneath her grip. "No... At least, I don't think so." Her teal glance fell over to Hakem in curiosity. Did wolves need to be treated differently compared to human children? Quite frankly, she wouldn't have even put her in a bath while the child was unconscious. Sh would have simply grabbed a thermometer and some medicine. Then again... Slowly she crossed her arms, one hand reaching a bit upwards to check for any stray bile on her skin.
【...It was made up in your mind.xxxx Could be anyone, anywhere." 】
Love is not an Emotion It is a Constant State of Mind
The last thing Hakem wanted to do was arrive at his nephew's home and instantly step into a film noir. He wasn't looking forward to drama or soap operas. However, it seemed Tyrese's home was in a state of exactly that. Inside the bathroom, Hakem looked around and tried to think. "Where are the towels?" He asked, turning on his heel and grabbing the large while cotton object in question once he was directed towards it. Draping it over his arm, he shook his head. "I wouldn't say so." And he paused, wandering if he should be blunt and spell the situation out. He untimely settled on keeping the information confidential. There was no reason to assume anything negative would happen, but it was important to break Sela's fever.
((The rest of my reply is here, you just don't know it yet))
Juliana walked to the front door, excited as could be as she carried the bag full of blueberry muffins to the door. This was one of her specialties and people most of the time loved them. Gently she knocked on the door. This was her attempt to get to know her neighbors. Her mother always taught her to come to your neighbors with food and a smile when meeting them.

Sela's fever broke, luckily. As it turns out, having a fever is a death sentence for a wolf. It must be because she's a half breed, but Sela didn't have the same temperature as other wolf children had. It was the only reason she survived. According to her uncle's knowledge, that is. Since every process in the wolf's body works at an accelerated pace, a sickness like that acts too quickly to be stopped in time, even assuming Sela had gotten the vaccine that would help her antibodies bind to the dead viral capsomeres and fight back. They were blessed, even, as his uncle empathized. While they didn't know what was wrong with Sela, she would be fine after a while. There had been no reason to worry so exponentially in the first place, it seemed, because the fever wasn't added to a body temperature that was already 103 or higher under normal circumstances. It was good news for Ty, and after helping his aunt and uncle move into the spare guest room, he cleaned the house and tried to rest.
It wasn't very successful as another dream roused him after four short hours. Ty shuttered to himself, finding a different outlet by prying open his laptop. He had to write instead, it didn't have to be for a new book. He just needed to be typing out all his thoughts and clearing his mind. It was early, just after sunrise when the door was tapped upon. Brows furrowing, the author shimmied out of bed and crept quietly down the stairs. He paused, then opened the door without first checking to see who it was. The wolf just couldn't conceive who would want to show up at his home, and it was no wonder, a complete stranger stood before him with a bag in her hands. Ty's brow ticked upwards as he smelled muffins. Okay? "Well miss red riding hood, are you...looking for someone, perhaps? Because Ty didn't know how to explain this.

Juliana smiled and bowed before speaking. "Hello. I am Juliana Hoshikuji and I just moved in down the street. I am dropping off goodies for all of my new neighbors on my day off from work as a means to introduce herself. I made blueberry muffins." She explained in a calm and cool demenor. But inwardly she was freaking out. This man was HOT and her favorite author. She even had a book of his in her purse that moment.

OH! A neighbor, he didn't expect that in such a well off community. He expected everyone to keep to themselves and their money. Well, wasn't that just sweet. Tyrese probably shouldn't have opened his door in just his boxers. Ah well, as long as she wasn't a reporter. The wolf smiled sweetly, "I'm Tyrese Havens, and thanks for the thought." He paused, blinking down at her rosy completion and the joyfully innocent smile. Sure, she was cute, although in a way he'd feel comfortable enough to ask her to babysit Sela. He couldn't help the little sister vibe. "I'm sorry, but I'm allergic to blueberries. It was a generous thought, though.' He added just as politely, an apologetic smile whisping across his lips.

Juliana blushed. How could she be so stupid and forget about blueberry allergies!? She also noticed quickly he wasnt wearing much. Her face flushed move as she spoke up. "Oh my goodness I am so sorry! Tell me your favorite baked treat and I will bring it over some time as an apology. Maybe when you have more clothes on." She turned her head away.

The wolf reacted in surprise, staring at the female before laughing lightly. "I'm sorry, it's more because you came so early. I would be dressed otherwise." The way she blushed so innocently to his body reminded him of high school. He shrugged and rubbed the back of his neck, "Oh I don't know, I don't eat baked sweets that often. I think we better just stick to appreciating the gesture. Maybe I'll be the one to make it up to you, later. Anyway, miss Juliana, I probably shouldn't continue on in my underwear. Maybe I'll see you around?" His life was sort of a mess, he wasn't in a good place to play the welcoming neighbour.

Juliana nodded, happy things didn't get too ackward. Still she was flustered over his hotness. And the fact that she was in the pressence of her favorite author."It's no problem. Any chance to cook makes me happy. And I would love guests. I play the violin so having someone listen helps with compositions. Although I might get embarrased as I have almost every novel you have written. I will most definitely see you around and my door is always open for guests. Have a nice day."She grinned widely, loving the thought of Tyrese being in her home. The girl scratched her head before bowing and leaving, heading to the next house.
The only things Sela remembered of the night before was being put in water and freaking out. She remembered thrashing around a bit, the sound of splashing water swishing around in her ears. Her delirious mind thought the worst thing possible and she just simply reacted. But when she found her daddy’s blurry form hovering over her, she calmed. She remembered being so hot that she was freezing cold, and throwing up a few times; but everything else was a blur. It couldn’t be helped that she missed her mommy and wanted her the entire time she was sick. Her mommy had always been there for her before and now she wasn’t. Why wasn’t she here? It should be her and her daddy taking care of her, not just her daddy. And then there were the new scents she could smell. They made her nervous, as most strangers did. She could tell that one of them was like her daddy, but the other wasn’t like any of them. Then again, no one seemed to have the same kind of scent as she did. Or, at least she hadn’t smelled it on anyone before.
Rolling over in her bed, she moaned, tucking her arms in and under her chest. Cracking open a crimson eye, she could see Ophelia and Mister Rex in bed with her and closed her eye. Slowly, she wiggled her body closer to Ophelia and nuzzled her face into the large fuzzy body she wished was one of her parents. She still felt incredibly lonely after her daddy just left her without a word the time before. There was a saddened sniffle from the toddler as she tried to put herself back to sleep, but there was an empty churning in her stomach. She still felt a little nauseous, but not as badly as before.
“Daaaaaaaady…” she called, her face still half buried into the stuffed owl’s body. Her mouth felt a little dry and she wanted to eat...something. She wasn’t sure what yet because nothing that she could think of sounded very good and made her stomach churn some more. Plus, all she really wanted was to believe that her parents didn’t hate her. Being ignored, it made her feel like they didn’t love her anymore. That maybe she had done something to upset them so much that they didn’t want to be around her. Sela sniffled again, feeling her lips starting to quiver as the thought made her cry softly into Ophelia’s body.

Tyrese struggled for words, his mouth making a brief gaping movement. Oh so, she knew who he was this whole time? The tiniest crack of his voice exited his parted lips before he forced out words, "S-See ya around." But maybe not, because that was just a little weird and creepy. The least he would do is send her a signed copy of his book that would be sold in stores this month, if that didn't seem completely pretentious of him. As she turned, he faced his ear to the small voice calling to him. Without meaning to, he sighed under his breath and slammed the door. He wanted to help his daughter, he really did, but she was acting as mentally and emotionally complex as an adult, accompanied with the will to shut him out when she wanted to. It wasn't a lack of means through which to express herself. No, she was simply choosing not to confide in him because she was upset and confused.
The bluenette winced as Lillian's face entered his mind, trudging to the kitchen for a cup of water and crackers to bring Sela. He piled them onto a tray, holding it in both hands and being careful to tread quietly past the first guest room door. Using his shoulder to get where his daughter was, he set the tray on the dresser and sat on the foot of the bed. "Why are you crying, miss lady? Is it your tummy still bothering you?" He asked, and leaned forward to press his hand against her forehead. She looked miserable, although still better than yesterday. For now he would just make her stay in bed, keep her comfortable and let her watch the history channel.
