"I'm sorry..." Katara said to Arston. She walked over to the window and saw a crowd of people around a man. "Alan, stay here with Lyndsey... Arston, my father's house is the big one near the armory. There are two empty bedrooms, pick one..." She said, going outside. She heard the man talking. "There was aboy, he had green hair, and I found him on the plains, collapsed!" he said. "Katara ran over to him. "Bring me to him,please," she said, an inkling of an idea of his identity forming in her mind. "Yes, miss Katara!" the man said, "I hope you can help him, you are a helpful person," he added, bringing her to the hut where the boy was.
She walked in alone, and upon seeing the boy's face, she whispered, "Lumino..."

Arston followed katara, examining the boy. He had a distinct aura....

Katara walked over to a sink and pumped water into a bowl. She took a towel from a counter. She sat on the side of the bed where Lumino sat, cleansing his face of dirt and sweat that had accumulated on his journey.
"Arston, please, could you get me another bowl of water and towel?" she asked, still dabbing Lumino's face.

"Thank you..." Katara said. She remembered when she had crossed blades with Kenshin to spare this boy's life... She hoped she could get him to wake up. She took the other towel and soaked it in the clean water. After opening Lumino's mouth and holding his head up to make sure it would go down the esophagus and not the windpipe, she then rang out the towel above Lumino's moth, sending water down his throat.

"I don't know... He should, I passed out a few days ago much like he did, and I'm fine," Katara said, she gave him some more water and went back to dabbing his forehead.

"Partner... If you mean battle companion, I'm sure you could, but... We all travel together. Those two back there in the healer's house? I used to travel and fight alongside them. And this boy too...' Katara said, "fate has a strange way of reconnecting people..." she mused.

"thank you, I can't rely on myself to survive." Arston's hair once again turned orange reddish again. Partner? talk about poor word choice!

Katara started humming the lulaby her mother used to sing to her, and started to give Lumino more water.

What a southing voice...
He remembered the voice, it was calm and gentle, it seemed to sing to him. It was the women he had been longing to see again since Nabata those many moons ago. He felt something cold, and could hear another voice above him, one he didn't recognize. With a groan he opened his eyes slowly, Katara's face swimming into view in front of him, he could hardly believe she was here.
"K-atara?" He managed to get out, his voice was weak, barely audible. His body felt so heavy, but he had to tell, it was to important. "Bern...t-they are coming...you have to run...soon."
He fell back on the bead, not asleep again, but too exhausted to do anything more then lie there and listen.

"that song... I know that song!" Athos started humming the tune, at first a bit off key, but as the memories came back to him, his tone matched katara's.

Katara was ripped between two things at once. First, Lumino's warning. Then, Arston's song. Since Arston was conscience, so she decided to deal with him first. "What do you mean? That was my mother's Lullaby. Where have you heard it?" she asked him.

"I.. don't know..." Arston was uncofortable about tellin katara the truth, then said.. " It was told to me by a seer in my village. It was my tenth birthday when she saw I must pair with one to stay on the path of light. when I asked for a name, she sang this song..."
