Thing's are shapin' up to be Pretty.Odd.

(( -will be looking that up after she posts-
@ kota:
I don't really care.....Just know she can't see unless she's really close to someone ^^ ))

Marshall glared hard at Apollo as he got closer, " 'cuse me" He muttered to Roxy before he slipped away. He didn't like Roxy much, be he couldn't see her as sad as he knew she was going to be in just a few seconds. He had to leave. He knelt down and told Izzy he was leaving nodding slightly at Venus, Schmee, and Birdman as he left. It was the polite thing to do.

Roxy frowned as Marshall left, she hadn't even got the time to greet him. Then her eyes found Apollo walking towards her, a Faint smile came a cross her lips as she let her eyes wonder over his new form, " Apollo, Its been a while" She said her smile growing as she spoke, " Way to long as far as I'm concerned, I missed you...... I miss you.... I really do" She said to him as she watched him. She wouldn't make the first move tom embarace him, That would make her seem needy. She didn't want to seem needy, She was desperate to see him but she didn't want to show him that.

And thats okay I feel the same!

Apollo's ears twitched forward as he edged closer to where Roxy was, he heard her voice as he sensed Marshall's scent and steps leaving the area. He knew well that Roxy would be hurting after all this and Apollo would always be regretting the action. But he was finding it hard to love two and also hurt them both at the same time. To his love came their pains and he hated it as much as he was hating himself. Stopping he extended his arms a bit, welcomingly.

"What? No hug?" he asked with a grin, dreading what was coming. "I've missed you too my friend. My travels had taken me farther then I had expected."

He would wait a couple moments before breaking the bad news to her. He wanted her to be happy that he had returned before wishing that he never did return. Ears fluttering back for a moment, shifting the long braid a bit before twisting back forwards, waiting to feel her embrace... If one was to come.

'This will sting, even me, but I have to do it.' he scolded himself mentally. 'If not then my life will be all a lie and I would only be hurting those I care for.'

Schmee picked up Izzy "It's okay 'Izzy bee' I'll make sure you get to Marshall's car safe and sound" she said lovingly, then she walked over to Valiant "Quite a day isn't it"

[Arte Lune]

Valiant:
yes quite.
It seems that spring has an affect on everyone around these parts.
and who may this little one be?

[kotaline]

Remi looked over at the commotion, plucking a violin string thoughtfully. "Huh." Flicking his tail tip, he lit up as he at least saw a familiar -but BIGGER- face. Promptly the adventurous cat scampered over to investigate, trying not to be intimidated by the abundance of grownups. If Tintin wasn't scared, he wouldn't be either. "Hullo Valiant!" he called out, waving at the other cat. "Who're your friends?"

Roxy leaned forward pulling Apollo into a huge hug. " Oh Appy" She muttered with a small sigh as she held him close to her, " I've missed you more than I could ever tell you." She smiled at him softly as she held him close to her. " Was your trip fun?" She asked still not breaking the hug. She'd missed him way to much to let go of him yet.

Izzy purred at the new nickname and tilted her head at the new voices, " I'm Izzy" She mumbled blinking trying to focus on the new faces, " who are you?" she asked Remi and Valliant, She needed names to put with the voices. Then she would remember the others. Until she grew and found some way to see...... which she would.

(( Izzy's gunna find some glasses.......and probably be the sexy secratary type lol)

And thats okay I feel the same!

[kotaline]

Remi blinked in return at the other kitten and trilled his violin for a dramatic introduction. "I am Remi Georges, here to serve the forces of Good!" he announced dramatically. "And this is my violin, Rupert." Holding up the violin briefly, he grinned. "And who're you?" Something seemed odd about the way she was looking at Valiant and him, but he couldn't put his finger on it. It reminded him a little of Professor Calculus without his glasses.

[punkysise]

"Izzy never grew out of her kitten eyes, it seems. She has weak eyes, but they seem to still be happy ones....And she is small like you, so I couldn't help but like her."

[Arte Lune]

Valiant smiled idly to herself
"hello remi, it has been too long!"
Smiling she ran up to him and gave him a hug.
Her gaze focused on the small kitten, for she seemed very intent on everything going on. Valiant felt an immense like to her immediately.
"Its a pleasure to meet you izzy."

[Kesmi]

Wrapping his arms around Roxy as she embraced him, his ears flattened back hearing how much she missed him and her question of if his travels were fun. They were to a degree, but searching for ones self wasn't exactly something he had really counted on doing as of late. Tightening his grip on her a moment, he soon eased up and looked away from her, well turned his clothed face away at the very least.

:Searching for ones self could be fun, but only to a degree. Roxy..." He paused a moment again gripping her tightly. "There's something I need to talk to you about. Something that's going to hurt the both of us..." how could he say it, how could he say that he could only be friends with her? "I'm sorry how things have and will turn out, but...." He paused again, letting his arms fall to his sides, ears falling back. "I have found that though I am happy in the knowing that I am loved by not only one, but two lovely females. My heart just happens to be for one and it will hurt the other. What I'm trying to say is..." Oh boy, here it came. "I don't love you in the same manner as I do the other. Yes, I care about you, and consider you my closest and dearest friend. I can't live a lie anymore then we can live without companionship. I'm sorry Roxy, I truly am."

Face still turned away from her, he waited for her to shove him away, to curse spit and strike out at him in a fitful rage. He knew he deserved it, all of it, leading them and the like. Ears pressed firmly back, he would take the strikes, name calling and whatever else was to be thrown in his direction with pride.

"But know this Roxy, though my choice has hurt you, it will shatter what trust behad between us, but I am in no way abandoning you to the fray. So don't, please, don't think of harming yourself, in any way. even if I have to sit beside you day and night to make sure you eat, sleep and remain unharmed I will. You are and always will be my friend, my closest, cherished friend..." Yes, he had resorted to rambling now, falling silent once more, his arms still slack at his sides. He waited, in silent guilt, he waited...

[Arte Lune]

((bounces about... oh the suspence!))

Izzy smiled, " I'm Izabella." Izzy muttered to Remi watching his movements. " Who is Rupert? or rather what id rupert?" She asked trying to figure out what the thing was that Remi was swining around. She nodded at Schmee. " your correct, they haven't changed since I was born" She said smiling in Valliant's direction, " Pleased to meet you too.....but I'm afraid i haven't caught your name what is it?" she asked timidly.

Roxy listened her heart breaking at his words, she pushed him away from her and took many steps back from him, " NO." She said to him firmly, " If this is how things are going to go, I can't have you around me all the time. I love you Apollo. I can't have you near me If i know you don't love me too." She cleared her throat as tears started catching in it. She shook her head. " I can't believe this" She muttered wiping her eyes.

" I want to be friends Apollo, but how do you tell your heart to stop caring for someone as i do for you?" Her voice was starting to show the face that there were tears falling down her face rapidly no matter how hard she tried she couldn't stop herself from crying her heart was breaking more and more each second. " I just......." She shook her head wiping the tears from her cheeks once again, " What did I do Wrong? She asked still shaking her head, " whats Wrong with me?" She asked she wanted to if it was her that was ******** up.

And thats okay I feel the same!

[Arte Lune]

Quietly Valiant responded with her name to Izzy.
Her attention was directed now at Roxy and Apollo, not even noticing one arm still looped around Remi.
Somehow it felt as though her heart was breaking as well, seeing others in distress often did that to the young cat.
Why couldn't it all be simple?
She wanted to help, but knew she could not, that in itself made every one of her emotions float across her face like ripples. Perhaps she was not as composed as she once was lead to believe.

[Kesmi]

He stumbled backwards as Roxy shoved him away, nearly losing his footing, he managed to keep his balance as she spoke to him. He did love her, more then anything, but he loved someone else more. Sighing, his head hanging come. This was what he got for loving someone else without knowing that someone already loved him... Silently. Shaking his head, braid swishing at his back, bandaged hands folding into his long sleeves. How could he explain it better? He had to do something before things grew worse, too late, they already had.

"I still love you Roxy, there's no one who can replace you. It's just that I didn't know you loved me for more then just a friend. If I had known, then the other wouldn't have meant so much. But I found myself between a rock and a hard spot choosing between two I loved dearly. You told me yourself I should think it over before choosing, I had, and I found that the pull to the other was stronger by just a little. That doesn't make you less special to me. You, yes you, were the first to accept me in this large world beyond an owner's walls. You have your own place that can never be filled. I'm still your friend Roxy, no matter whom I'm romantically in love with. In this world, I have found great hardships alone, I feel that with two friends at the very least I can endure them less painfully." He paused, to catch his breath, even his own voice was cracking, it was also hurting him as much as it was her. More then once had he not thought of turning and just leaving, but he found that to be a cowards way out, he wanted to comfort Roxy, not push her away.

Reaching into one of his sleeves he pulled out a cloth square and held it out to her to dry her eyes and blow her nose with. Though it was a simple cloth, the action might have spoken louder then any words that could have been said. "I'm not in any way pushing you out of my life Roxy, I want you to be in my life, you have always been a big part of my life. But there's no words that can be said to change what's happened now. But please, don't think of me as some mutts child, you know me better then that, we both hurt as it is, our wounds don't need to be opened further."

[[*Brain collapses as it's past bed time.* Night all ^^ ]]

[kotaline]

Remi waved to Schmee. "Hullo to you too!" he said cheerfully. Flashing another grin at this 'Izabella', he elucidated. "Rupert's my violin. He's a musical instrument, y'know, do-re-mi?"

He let out an 'oof!' as Valiant's hug connected but took it in stride. Young maidens hugged brave explorers all the time, right? he could handle this for sure no problem. Still, his cheeks turned a little red as he said "...Too long, yeah! How're things? I got a sidekick and..." He trailed off though as the hug loosened and a strange expression passed over his adventurebuddy's face. Following her gaze, he winced. Oh. Grown-up issues. This was some evil the young hero wasn't quite ready to tackle so instead he moved to pat Valiant's back reassuringly, seeing as he couldn't play violin with her arm draped around him and he was somewhat reluctant to move it. "It'll work out." he muttered. "Grown ups can handle anything."

He paused and considered this. "Well, unless they're Bad Guys." the violinist amended.
