Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kaori chuckled and shook her head, "That is not necessary, though I appreciate the offer. If you feel like it, you could join me in searching for my friend...." Kaori looked out at the trees, a far-away look in her eyes. "She's in those woods somewhere... I need to find her. Hopefully before something else does."

Abel rolled his eyes, though it was unseen by the two girls, 'oh please, not with this sappy s**t.' He thought bitterly. His stature became a little more stiff, and angered. "I have a name you know! And I'm a DEMON! De-mon" He shouted irritatedly back at her, annunciating the 'De-mon' as he did. One eyebrow lifted, he found it strange she had called him "wolfman." This made him sound like a werewolf, which he deffinately was not.

And this brought about an image, it made him sound like he was all fur, which he also was not. Sure he had ears and a tail, but he wasnt all fur, at least in this form. His ears pressed back against his head. "Now don't be stupid. You're just as hungry as we are. And I'm not leaving Aida by herself. But then again, I'm sure we should take her along to begin with. . . she's young. Aw, but who gives a s**t? She's dead." He snarled slightly in the back of his throat, getting frustrated. Stomping up the steps to the porch, he went in the house, letting the door slam behind him.

Kaori chuckled quietly before turning to Selyna and smiling, "Try not to be to angry at him, it is hard to know who you can trust around here. And you were out side of my window, most that are curious come to the front door. Anyway, would you like to join us for breakfast?" Saying that, Kaori stopped in her tracks, "If it hasn't burnt yet. If you would excuse me!" Picking up her skirt, the young witch ran past both Selyna and Able and into the kitchen.

((whee, humor? *shrugs* meh))

Side stepping out of Kaori's way as she bolted by, Selyna gave a slight nod to her hostess' retreating backside in response to whether or not she'd like to join them for breakfast. Glancing at his reaction to the young girl, she shrugged it off as possibly a habit to do that, explaining to herself that's why his body language didn't seem to change. Shrugging it off, she looked around the kitchen, taking in her environment, wondering what kind of family these people were. Not being able to see Abel's face from this angle, Selyna saw his arm drop to the side and it seemed he was fixated on something on the floor. Bringing her bag up to her chest, she hugged it tightly and moved closer to Kaori, for fear that he may attack again. A man's ego is the most fragile thing... He may feel he needs to stroke it a bit... Remembering how many of the men would react and beat her when she denied their advances, she buried her face a bit in the bag while standing, her eyes the only thing visble over the bag. They narrowed a bit as she shook slightly, looking more like she may have just had a chill than frightened.

Selyna had long ago realized the worst thing she could do was to let a man know she was afraid, but years of what she'd been through had made that knowledge useless. When Abel asked about why she was looking at him that way, she desperately wanted to look away and act as if she didn't care, but she didn't know any of these people really well yet, and if her mother hadn't protected her from her "clients" why should she feel these people would help her. Deciding against responding as this would only lead to giving him a reason to remain focused on her, she flinched a bit when he snarled, her hands clenching around her bag as her eyes widened slightly for half a second before she remembered about trying to keep her cool and resumed her stance and look from before. Clenching her jaw, her face still hidden behind the bag, Selyna narrowed her eyes again, disgusted by men's pleasure in frightening and beating those they felt were weaker. Well she hadn't maintain her innocence all this time by not fighting back and she would do so if necessary, though she'd never had to fight anyone who wasn't from her own race, she had no idea what Abel was capable of. Moving closer still towards Kaori, Selyna wondered if she had some kind of fix or charm over him that he didn't seemed to try and scare her.

Relaxing a little after Kaori scolded Abel, Selyna thought to herself, Must be some kind of charm.... No man let's a woman tell him what to do... Though her view of men was skewed, Selyna still had manners and knew that heading into the livingroom right now would be the end of her visit here. I'll help you out in here if you don't mind. Setting her bag down, she moved over to the stove looking over what was fixed. Would you like me to set the table? Where are the plates? She was eager to help this woman, and to learn her secrets of controling men, it would prove to be something very useful for her. Looking in the direction of the livingroom, she narrowed her eyes again, thinking of how young the girl was. Is it safe to leave that girl in the room with him? She looked awfully young.... and he did say he was a demon so who knows just how sick and twisted they are.... The venom in her regards towards men showed through quite clearly as she spoke, giving the impression that something tramatic had happened to her at some point.

Kaori had stiffened when she heard Selyna's question. Hearing Abel's reply, she had to agree with him. "She will be fine, Selyna. I would trust Abel with my life, and he has given me no reason to doubt that. Please, try to resecpt that. I do not know your past, but he is a guest here as much as you are. Besides, it is not fair to stryotype him anymore than it is for the humans to stryotype us."

Kaori walked over to the other shifter and placed her hand on his shoulder hesitantly when she saw him stiffening up. "Abel? Please, calm down...." Concern showed through the young witches voice.

Abel narrowed his eyes briefly on Selyna as he listened. Intending on staying quiet, sure it would help him keep control. His posture stayed stiff, his eyes still cold. Well until he heard, quite distinctly, her call him 'sir.' Though this falter was only momentary, as his hard reappeared moments later, it was certainly there. As much as his human half was. Though it took quite a bit for anyone to dig it up out of him.

Abel closed his eyes, his expression going blank, "Yes, Kaori?" He took a deep inward breath that filled his thin bare chest. It was so sickly pale. He turned slowly to face Kaori, his eyes softened on her, as he had opened them just before turning. He was thankful to her. And maybe thats what the softness portrayed. Abel hoped it did, but then again. . . he was use to being against others. Well since her.

"Thank you Kaori." He hadn't trusted himself. "I'm sorry, I almost lost it." He voice was low, and strangely and uncharacteristicly sincere. He had lost control, fully, only once before. And the thought scared him.
