Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sora got up with her with a smile, pleasently surprised that she had actually said yes. "Alright then. I'll take you there." He said with the same smile on his face. While the kit at their feet, seemed to finally start shaking off the effects of the cat n** it got into.
He then turned with her as Leon apeared. Sora couldn't help but frown at the fact that he had shown up. He watched silently as the guy embaressed Athena, while he himself supressed a growl in his throat.
"Who said anything about flirting?" He then calmly asked. "I just happened to run into her as I was headed to my house. Is it so wrong to stop and talk with a friend along the way? If it bothers you that much sir then i shall take my leave. If not then maybe you should just concentrate on your fishing." He said almost coldly, trying very hard to keep control of his emotions, and remain at least somewhat pleasent towards Leon. Knowing fully well that he was Athena's friend, and possible guardian.

Sora was about to say something to Leon's remark, but then him and Athena began to bicker. Sora stood where he was, ready to help Athena if anything bad were to happen to her. By the end of it Sora was slightly growling and annoyed at Leon.
"For someone who supposedly cares about her, and wants to keep her safe, I do have to say that you sir are not doing a very good job." Sora told Leon simply. Not wanting to say anything else and get into a possible fight.
With that, he then went off, following where Athena went into the forest. Not wanting her to get lost, or "forgotten" like so many others had in the wood.
The kit sat there for a moment looking up at Leon. As if contemplating something. Then finally it stuck out it's tounge at him, and then went off after Sora and Athena quietly throught the woods.

Sora soon had caught up with Athena. Walking silently up behind her, he could hear her crying til she wrapped her arms around herself. A pang of sorrow hit his heart, knowing how bad she must have felt at that point.
Stepping on some twigs just so she could know he was there, he walked up to her.
"I'm sorry..." He murmered, and wrapped his arms around her. Hoping that he wasn't beening too forward to her. Also hoping that he was somehow comferting her. Letting her free to cry on his shoulder, and leaving his grasp loose enough so that she could pull away at any time she wished it.
The kit comming up behind them, and settling down on a rock near by for a snooze. Still trying to get the effects of the cat n** out of it's system.

"Shh..." He said quietly, rubbing her back. "It's alright. I don't mind. Anything that is going to make you feel a little better Athena..." He told her, smiling down at her. Truely not careing about the tears now soaking into his shirt.

"Your welcome..." Sora said quietly smiling down at her. Amused that she thought that he did so much for her. "I really don't mind at all... it's not a big deal for me, helping a friend." He told her just as quietly. Opening up his arms to let her step out of his embrase. He then watched her curiously as she ran her hands through her hair.
"Get away from me?" He then asked confused, and somehow feeling a little hurt.
"Alright then if you really feel you must do that..." He said bowing his head. No longer smiling.
"May I ask you why though?" he then asked looking up at her. Not even bothering to hide the hurt in his eyes.
The kit looked up at the both of them. Wondering what was to transpire. Wondering if it and Sora would ever leave either this place or finally go to their home.

Sora listened to what Athena had to say.
But if she doesn't know wouldn't she want to stick around and find out? he could help but think a little sadly to himself.
He quietly sighed, and tried to give her a little smile. So that she wouldn't feel bad about any decision that she made. He knew that it wasn't working very well though, and only got the corner of his mouth in a sort of crooked half smile.
"Well... I guess you have to do what you have to do Athena..." he said quietly. Brushing a strand of hair out of her face, and behind her ear. His mind going through other things that he wanted to say to her, and thoughts.
Realizing that he was looking towards the ground, he looked back up at her. Trying to hide the sadness in his eyes. Then his eyes brightened in an idea. He quickly pulled what looked like a 'pretty' rock out of his pocket.
"But if you do ever want to come back and find out how you feel..." he began, placing the rock in her hand. "This can lead you to places you want to go to. Just think of the destination clearly, and it will guide you. Just don't use it on finding people in far proxcimity. Cause they keep moving, and it's always very hard to pin point. Rather think of a place near where you know where they would be. In my case my home. There are enchantments there for when people come by, and i'm not there. It makes the kit aware of it, and then it leads me there as well." He exsplained to her. Hopeing he wasn't being too forward in any way. Also hopeing that she might actually use it to visit.
Looking back at her again, he couldn't help but sigh. Sora knew she probably would never visit, but at least he knew she had something to help her in her travels. That was as much safety that he could offer her.
"We probably should get you back to Leon. He'll probably want to know your safe..." He finally said, steping back from her.

From where it sat, the kit had a little grin and shook it's head a little. Knowing that it was out of sight from the both of them.
I don't get you Sora Bloodmoon. Everytime I turn around it seems like you've found another friend. Strange for your old profession. The kit thought quietly to it's self.
Oh it's just something that you'll never understand... Something thought.
The kit hissed and looked up and around.
YOU!
yes me... the voice said. An eagle there cleaning it's feathers in a tree.
How in the name of the gods did you get away!?!?! The kit demanded.
Oh i have my own little tricks small one. Besides that's for me to know and for you to discover on your own. the eagle said almost chuckling to itself.
The kit growled softly. Don't call me small one!!! it said.
But you are small. At least smaller than me. the eagle reminded it, tilting it's head down.
With a rowl, the eagle was suddenly looking into a very big and annoyed kit's eyes. I THINK NOT.
How? the eagle gasped, as the kit returned to it's small size.
That is for me to know. the kit calmly thought. I suggest you return to whatever master you serve now, before someone get's hurt.
Fine. We'll met soon enough again anyways... The eagle murmered, as it flew away.
Bloodly sellout... the kit couldn't help but think, as it snuggled down again to fall asleep, knowing Sora would pick it up if he left.

Sora smiled and shruged. Not taking back the stone out of Athena's hand.
"Actually I don't really need it. My sister taught me how to make them if i needed one. So keep it. I can always make another." He exsplained to her.
