He raised a silent eyebrow as he watched her. Her eyes widening and it seemed as if she was trying to say something. But the words just weren't coming to her. Kebas knew it was a big leap and that his words probably would have surprised her like they did. But he didn't care. He wanted to get with her all the time. Not being able to stand another minute apart. The male wanted her in his life always. When she sat up and wrapped her arms around his neck, he too wrapped his arms around her. Holding her tightly. The small feeling of tears against his fur made him smile. It wasn't like her to get this emotional, but it really was a big deal after all. At her reply, his smile grew and his heart fluttered briefly.
Kebas wiped what remnants of tears were left on her cheeks with his thumb before running it over the bridge of her nose and giving the end a small little poke with his finger. "I'm glad then, Rinko. I don't ever want to be apart from you again. Not even the gods themselves could keep me from you." He continued to smile into the soft kiss. Yes, he did want her. He had wanted her for a long time but was never sure if he was ready. But he was now. All thoughts of doubt had left his mind on the prospect of them being together. Being mates. Rinko and himself had proved to him that they were meant to be. There was no one else.
A long, deep burp came rumbling up from deep within Ventash'ma's belly and he slapped a paw over his mouth. Normally he wouldn't of cared, but since him and Aullana had been together he had picked up a bit of manners in that time. "Phew, excuse me." He chuckled, rubbing his other paw against his mate's shoulder lightly. "That indeed we do."
He looked at Chath briefly as she flopped onto her back. A sly grin spreading from ear to ear. "So, how do you want to go about it then?"
The kit had lost herself in the sounds of nature around her. Barely paying attention to anything her parents said. Closing her eyes, she took in a deep breath before letting it out slowly. Her tail flopping lazily against the ground a few times before it became stationary once more. A full belly always made her tired, but not too tired really. Perhaps she'd take a nap the rest of the way to wherever they were going.

Cracking his knuckles he started to pace before the Trickster, he wondered just what this little four armed beast had in her she seemed so, compassionate about this little fight and he could not deny he was enjoying it. But something bothered him yet, and her words confirmed it. She was no simple monster, no simple beast easy to toss aside and crush, god-strength she said and the words cut a cold line through him. Her aura flickered it seemed a glimpse at what she was deep down.
“God-stre-“ Was all he got out as the Trickster took flight with quick foot work, he had little time to act, and his mind was already distracted mauling over the notion that he might just loose another fight and his life yet again. His wings flared snaping shut, with a quick kick he too shot back narrowly missing her deadly hug, did she plan to crush him with all those arms or some other devious weapon? He scanned her every inch as dust clouded the air, a flicker of something, her tail or something more? He couldn’t tell her figure blurred from his blind eyes. “Tell me! What is this God-Strength you speak of!” He landed in a crouch shifting uneasily, “What madness is it…” He growled quietly, “You seem to be holding something back, tell me what is it?”
Mercutio knew bits of the world, he knew what his mother raised him to know, and what his sister had shown him, but this, this was amazing beyond belief. Her arms embraced him tighter keeping him safe and his own wrapped around her just to be safe, or perhaps, he liked it? He blushed softly and continued to glance about enjoying the view, reaching out to gently run his hands through a few trees leafy tips as the decent began.
His eyes widened and he started to panic for a moment, the trees were getting closer, but suddenly they parted and his eyes grew wide in awe. He wanted to reach everywhere, touch and sample every little detail, savor it all and quietly wash his face in the pure stream. As they landed he carefully placed his feet in grass so soft and fresh it felt like morning dew and yet dry and soft all tat once it all warped his mind. He caught a glimps of Lithium and quickly folded his own wings and bowed his head. After a minute passed he quietly raised his head walking over to Lithium again taking her hands. “You, you did this?” He glanced around again, “Lithium… I…” he shook his head smiling, You take words right out my mouth…

Rinko looked like she felt silly for getting so emotional and she wrinkled her nose, giving his finger a sultry n** and smiling. She was still shocked, even if she was back to her old self. In her family she'd been labled the un-mateable one due to her attitude and.. exotic appearance. It had been a blow to her ego and emotions but she never let it show and never allowed anyone to know. Well, she'd just proved those bitches wrong and she hadn't even mean't to. She leaned back a little farther as he spoke, getting a good view of his handsome face. "Nor I from you." She replied, her voice a soft, loving but serious purr as she looked into his enticing eyes. When she'd first met him she wanted him in many unlady-like ways, but as time went on the need for him had grown stronger, deeper until it was an ache, an empty hole with nothing to fill it but him. Now that missing piece was found. She'd never felt this whole before.
Mmm, she felt extremely fiesty now. One of her paws brushed along his cheek lightly, running down the side of his neck and across his chest as she leaned up to kiss his neck. So, it had been love. That emotion she felt for him, the one that nagged her night and day, when she lay restless in bed or prowled the streets of the city, she'd been needing him. She loved him. It had just taken her up until this point to understand. She understood now. Her eyes closed softly for a moment, her senses on full alert as she breathed him in. She'd never have rely on or cling to memory for him again. A seductive, exotic growllike purr rolled from her chest, filling the air and enveloping them as her eyes flashed open and she looked at him again. A smirk lacing her lips.
Aullana looked surprised by Ventash'ma's burp but she only giggled softly and pondered on how exactly they would bathe the baby. It had to be quick, like jumping in with her in their arms or while she was asleep so when she awoke she'd be safe in the arms of a parent but in the middle of the water where she couldn't make a daring escape. The fact remained, she couldn't know what was going on until the very last second.
Her ears twitched as she thought. "We need to keep her in the dark until the very last second otherwise she'll know we're going to give her a bath-" She slapped her paws over her mouth, mentally kicking herself for letting the word slip. Her eyes shot over to the baby, praying against hope that she was too out of it to have heard. Great. Good job Aullana. She felt her muscle's tense, ready to spring after Chath if the baby tried to run away. It wouldn't be a first and Chath was quick.

The Trickster growled deeply in her throat, a ripping, feral sound that tore from her throat and split the air with it's ferocity. She'd missed her mark. Damnit! She regrouped herself and skipped back, away from him in the instance he decided to charge. She didn't want to be caught off guard. But his demand to know one of her special attacks made her narrow her eyes and bare her sharp canines at him, her chest heaving with ragged breath. She was exhausted. "It matters not, I will refrain from it's use." She snarled, her sharp teeth flashing in the dusky light of early evening. It would be dark soon, how much longer could she hold out? Not much at all.
With that in mind she darted at him, it took everything she had and when she was within range she used the last ounce of her strength, her over-looked weapon revealed itself as she latched onto him with her two normal paws, claws digging into flesh and her eyes locking onto his face with a rage that was frightening in it's intensity. The dangerous, dagger-like tail snapped through the air with an alarmingly vicious speed, raising up and slamming towards him in an attempt to stab him deep in the gut and injure him to near death. But she wouldn't be able to see if it hit it's mark for as soon as she presented her last attack the icy, dark hand of unconciousness enveloped her and she fell limp.
Lithium raised her eyes as he took hold of her hands and she blushed softly, that sadness seemed strong though and the reason was clear as her voice whispered across his mind. 'This was my home once.. long ago. It is my sanctuary now, the place I go to remember- and to forget.' A tear fell from her soft, kind gaze and she turned her gaze away in unease, afraid to show him her sadness. He already had enough of his own, he didn't need hers. She breathed softly and lead him by the paw across the lush grass. 'To answer your question, yes.. I did this.' She seemed proud but humble, a smile lingering across her lips. Bittersweet. 'Nature helped, Gaia was generous.' Her laughter was faint, soft and dreamy. His reverence lifted her spirits and made her feel happier somehow. His very presence eased her tensions.
The clearing was even more magnificent close up, it was full of various wonders of nature. The flowers ranged from common to extremely rare, there wasn't a single bare patch of earth here with the exception of two empty patches further off near the stream but Lithium refused to look in that direction and was leading him away from it. Her gaze focused on the water. She felt parched. Her paw waved over his wings and the plants released their hold so he would be lighter and it would be far easier for him to walk comfortably. The wind tousled her long, silken braid, lifting it up and over one shoulder. 'Come, sit with me.'

Illidan swayed slightly as he gained his balanced from his last leap, he still wasn’t quite sure what the weapon was but he was weary to let her close, it was obvious she wanted to grab him and apply some trick but he was in no mood to see what it was exactly. “Tell me what it is! I won’t stand here idle wondering, I demand to know!” He started to get up but she was in a flash of movement a flurry that caught him off guard, the second tail suddenly became clear its dagger like tip ready to strike for his gut he tried to push back but her arms wrapped tight about him.
But just as the arms grew tight they soon grew slack and the dagger tail dipped to the side slowly, the claws released him and he casually pushed her to the side. Blood soaked him, not just his but her’s from the stab to her paw, it seemed too much had been lost. Slowly he gathered his blade slipping it on his hip before looking at the collapsed figure of the Trickster. Quietly he scooped up her collapsed form cradling the nimble warrior in his arms.
Hours latter they would arrive at the cave, leaves and vines would be gathered and wounds would be sealed, a small bed of such vegetation served for her resting place, and he would watch quietly till she awoke, sword at his side just to be safe… lord knows how many days it may be.
Mercutio tilted his head slightly a slight sympathetic look ringing in his eyes as her ‘voice’ whispered to him and him alone. “It’s a beautiful place Lithium, I’m honored you would let me see it…” he trailed off quietly unsure what to do, it was obvious this place meant more to her then he would probably ever get to know. He reached up again, ever gently wiping away her tears, pausing long enough to gently pat her cheek and bring her gaze back to him as she slowly guided them along. “My mother, and my sister both, would be amazed to see something like this. They love life and nature, but nothing have they ever done like this.” He smiled, his heart seeming to float on air as she laughed, a sound beyond this world it seemed and one that always sent his heart a flutter.
He glanced about again, noticing the two bare patches, her tendency to seem to ignore it, but still he followed her along quietly he walked along side her savoring the beauty,both complex and simple it thrilled him. He simply nodded taking a seat beside her, the wind ruffling his hair as they sat at th edge of the stream. Slowly he let his mind and powers wander, it seemed like all around him millions of little lives all beating with one larger beat tying them all together. With every pulse of Lithiums heart the plant life seemed to thrive. Quietly he placed his hand beside them, a soft glow seeming to emit from his hands, it strained him so, but it was part of his ability, and ever so slowly a new flower grew, a simple thornless rose, purple in color and fresh with life. Ever so gently though he plucked it from the ground pressing all the life he could muster into it so it would never weather so long as he be. Without a word he turned quietly slipping the flower behind her ear with a small smile, “I’m afraid it’s all I can do… nothing I could do would ever amount to this in years of work…”

If Kebas had known that Rinko had been labeled as 'un-matable' by her family, he would have scoffed. Sure, perhaps it might of been because she didn't fit into the standards of Meanki looks. With her markings and horns, but that didn't matter to him. Anyone could love anyone they wanted to. No matter how someone acted or looked. Shoot, Kebas wasn't the standard of normality either. That was what he loved about her. She wasn't a cookie cutter vision of her race. He smiled at her. A true genuine smile. No smirks. No devious looks at that moment. "Good. Cause I really don't feel like fighting any Gods right now."
He placed a paw on her back once more. Holding her close against him, tilting his neck to nibble lightly on her shoulder. The male knew love. He also knew lust. And this certainly was love. Though a bit of lust was tossed in there as well for good measure of course. His ears perked as she growl-purred. An eyebrow raising once again as a subtle smirk spread across his lips. "Whats that look for, hm?" Poking her forehead once with a finger, Kebas turned his head to the side to peer at her with one eye. "Whats goin' on in that pretty little head of yours?"
Ventash'ma grinned sheepishly as Aullana giggled. But his head soon snapped to look at Chath the instant the word 'bath' came rolling out of his mate's mouth. They always tried to just spell the words instead of plainly saying them. The kit had a bit of a harder time putting letters together than understanding words. And if she had heard that word, he knew he'd be chasing her down cause she'd take off before he could say 'Babaganoosh"
The kit sat up instantly. She had heard it. No matter how hard her mother had tried to conceal the word, she had heard it. And there was no way she would be taking a bath. At least of her own free will. Her ears perked up as she stared blankly at her parents for a second. Daring them to try. And with a quick flick of her ears she scrambled to her feet and took off. Dropping to all fours to give her a bit more power to scurry away before they got the chance to chase after her. "NO BATH NO BATH!!!!"

Teti was lost in the suffocating darkness of unconciousness, her dreams were vague, then vivid, then vague again, leaving her restless in her sleep. She felt nothing Illidan did, so deep was her sleep. She felt not the world, nor the time. Her body and mind seperated by the thin veil of sleep. She felt weak, almost sick as her eyes slowly began to flutter open and she had to hold back the strong wave of nausea the rose threateningly from deep within her stomach. Had she been sick while fighting him? She certainly felt sick now, her body ached something furious as well and her paw itched, trying to heal the wound inflicted there. It took her head several minutes to clear before she could actually remember the events of yesterday. Was it yesterday? It certainly felt like it had been in the recent past. She wasn't sure how long she'd been sleeping for, all she could remember were the nightmares. Bad ones.
She tried to lift herself and gave an involuntary growl with effort as she finally managed to prop her back against the cave wall, dragging her arms up in an effort to wrap them around her body. She felt like s**t, worse than s**t. She'd exerted too much effort and was now paying heavily for it. Her vision didn't clear for a few minutes, but that was when she saw him and her canines bared in warning, ears lying back to emphasize her point and eyes narrowing. More for focus but it added menace none-the-less. What was he doing here? Where was she anyway? From the look of things it was a cave, but a cave where? She could be anywhere and trapped with a male she'd been trying to kill. Why wasn't she dead? Had she passed out. Great, she'd passed out. Real tough.
'I appreciate your admiration, Mercutio.' The word were honest and sweet as she sat down upon the log and scooted to allow him room. Latching one ankle under another and sitting in quite the feminine manner. His mother and sister? Were they naturals as well? 'This place has been growing and maturing for many, many years to reach this state.' She remarked, hoping he didn't see this place as an instant, over-night success. She'd gone through much trial and error to reach the beauty and splendor found here. Lithium kept her eyes away from the bare spots, as if they simply didn't exist for now. 'I would not mind if they wished to visit someday. She nodded, her gaze furrowing in serious thought, as though it was something that took considerable deliberation. 'I don't see the harm.. Her voice trailed off and she sighed mentally, closing her eyes and resting her chin on her knees, wrapping her arms about her legs comfortably. The sound of crickets and small frogs adding an enchantment to the cool, whispering breeze.
Lithium's eyelashes fluttered open as she felt something touch her hair and she looked to see a beautiful flower in Mercutio's paw, she didn't move, allowing him to dress her hair with the lovely gift. A soft smile broke the seriousness of her expression and she blushed softly, her braid falling over one shoulder and dangling in the air freely. 'It.. it's beautiful! I've never seen it's equal.. thank you. I'll treasure it always.' She reached up to touch the flower with gentle claws, it's aromatic scent lifting her spirits as she cast her luminous gaze towards Mercutio. He was so kind to her, so giving. She still was unsure of how she'd gained such a wonderful person's companionship. She felt so unworthy. 'Don't underestimate your gifts, you're a wonderful person Mercutio, you have such a strong heart. I can tell.' She looked at him again and smiled brightly, her eyes closing with added joy and certainty. Her long braid tousled by the breeze as the large trees surrounding them whispered in the wind.

Rinko laughed. "Neither do I." But she paused on that note and flashed him a wicked grin, her eyes alight with lust and playful spirit. "Well now, if I told you that wouldn't be much fun, now would it? Then again.." She pursed her lips and smiled up at him, a different sort of smile. A real smile, like the one he'd given her. She was looking at him as herself, without the facade, without the play. Just her own, natural self. It felt good. She closed one eye as she was poked and nipped at his finger spunkily. Giving his neck a soft, impish bite. "I could show you what I'm thinking." Her eyes flashed as she ran her paws up and across his back, placing one on either shoulder-blade for support as she gave him a deep, loving kiss.
The rain was getting heavier finally. "It looks like we have a while before the storm lets up, I wonder what we could do to pass the time." She looked thoughtful, as though the avenues were numerous and she was seriously searching for an idea. "Hmm, I'm lost. You have any ideas?" Her tail curled and thumped against the furs quietly, contentedly before curling around his leg and sliding away slowly. Her gaze never leaving his face, she could stare at that face for days. It never ceased to arouse her emotionally and, well, physically. She'd have giggled but he might think she was going mad. So she refrained and bit her lip softly, cocking her head at an angle, a steady purr rising from her lovely chest.
"Oh no!" She gasped, on her paw the instant Chath started moving, she was so quick! "Chath!" She called, knowing not even the word pie would stop the baby now. Oh, she was getting a bath, that hadn't changed. The tactics just needed a little shuffling. "I'm so sorry Ventash'ma, I didn't mean to say it. It just slipped out." She looked worried and upset, her slender brows furrowing unhappily as she started off after the baby, not wasting time. She could feel bad as she ran. She was so stupid, how could she have said it? She knew better. It was an accident but she still felt stupid.
Her nose wasn't as keen as Ventash'ma's but she could still see the baby in the near distance, crawling at an amazing speed. Aullana wasn't slowing. Either she or her mate would catch her, she wasn't about to sit around and let Ventash'ma do all the work. The wind tousled her hair as she ran, her gait easy and smooth. She'd learned a thing or two from her mate, just as he'd learned a thing or two from her. And she never wasted that knowledge, she always put what she'd learned to good use. Her breathing was even, conserving energy as she kept her golden gaze on the fleeing form of their offspring.

Running a claw along her bottom lip, that devilish smirk soon re-appeared. Seems like she was getting fisty once more. His eyes lidded as his ears perked forward. Kebas relished the kiss for a while. Feeling the electricity that seemed to flow between them. "Oh really now? Then why don't you just show me, miss thang?"
He turned his head briefly to cast a glace towards the entrance of the cave. Listening and watching what he could through the thick of the brush he had placed back over the opening. Giving a light sigh, he rolled over onto his back next to Rinko. Placing his paws behind his head and closing his eyes. "Not really. You know me, I'm just the muscle in this relationship. Your the one who comes up with all the ideas." The corner of his mouth curled up as he chuckled inwardly. "Who knows what I could come up with. It'd probably be safe just leaving the figuring out things to you. Although that might not be a good idea either."
The kit was quick, Ventash'ma had to give his daughter that much. She had taken off and gained quite a bit of distance on them both before he even had the chance to utter a word. Crap.
A soft sigh passed through his lips as he gave Aullana a reassuring smile. "Its ok. She'll get a bath whether she likes it or not. Shouldn't be too hard to catch her." Hustling to his feet, the male took off in another direction than his mate had. Moving swiftly along the ground as he quickly started to catch up to Chath. He'd try and at least cut her off at some point.
Chath scurried into a grove of trees. Her head twisting and turning around as she looked for a place to hide. "No bath, no bath, no bath.." Was all she murmed in her slightly panicked state. It wasn't that she was afraid of water, she just--didn't like baths. At all.
Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a little hole, just big enough for someone of her side to squeeze into in one of the trees. She scrambled over to it, giving it a quick look inside to make sure it wasn't inhabited already before she squeezed her little body into the hollowed out area of the trunk. And there she waited. Panting lightly but trying to keep as quiet as she could.

Illidan shifted slightly, he sat up straighter, his ‘vision’ securing on that of the flickering aurora of Teti coming too. Slowly he scooped up his blade moving closer to watch over the ill girl. “You seem to be healing slowly.” He crouched down eyeing her closely tossing a ragged scrape of cloth for a blanket over her. “Lay still, your hand bled too much less you truly wish to die.” Nothing else much to do then see if she recovered more.
”As I would believe it should, nothing happens over night, not even for my mother and sister. But they would certainly savor such a lovely scene as much as you and I.” Quietly he placed a hand on her shoulder tilting his head as she seemed to become lost in thought finally seeming to wander into her self. The wind blowing happily about the.
“I feel I’m strong, but no were near as much as you say I am.” He reached up slowly playing with her braid as they spoke admiring the flower in her hair. Everything grew quiet and time seemed to drag on forever. He leaned over closer, gently taking her cheek in his hand turning her to face him slowly before kissing her briefly and gently before looking away quickly with a blush. “I… Lithium…” he hunched his shoulders as if trying to hide suddenly becoming quite shy.

Rinko figured she was going to get her action, oh no, he just flopped right on over. Lazy. She rolled her body so she was on her side, placing one paw over him and the other opposite so she was straddling him with her arms and gazing down into his face from above. "So, now that we're officially together are you going to sit on the couch all day long eating bon-bons while I wear the pants and go to work?" She smirked down at him, teasing him as she ran a claw along his chest and down his stomach, her claws brushing along his stomach before she resumed using her arms to hold herself up. "Hmm?" She leaned down, taunting him with her lips, brushing his just barely before pulling back up. "Because by the time I get home I just might be too tired to be imaginative." She feigned a yawn, covering her mouth daintily with the back of a paw before sitting up, her side curving exquisitely.
Rinko flipped a length of hair over one shoulder, exposing her pelt more and freeing her of the obscuring length so she could better look at him. Her eyes lifted, roving the cave as though taking it in for the first time. She hoped he knew she was joking about the throw pillows and curtains, or whatever she'd said. Maybe she'd fix a few things or adjust them but she doubted if she'd be doing a complete remodel. It felt weird to think about taking over someone's home like that. Her sisters might be comfortable with that kind of 'take your man's balls' kind of action but she did things with a different kind flair. Not that she wasn't headstrong and in charge a lot of the time around others. She just didn't like to b***h if she didn't have to.
"Chath!" Aullana called, her voice steady, hiding the worry as best she could. "Chath come here! Where are you?" Her paws were soft upon the ground, almost silent. She could hear her breath and her heartbeat, the Woods were so quiet. Why couldn't Chath have run into the clearing? Because she was smart, that was why. Aullana kept her eyes on the small form until it disappeared into the brush, her heart nearly stopped and she picked up speed. She didn't bother following Ventash'ma, she knew he had a plan and she'd simply continue doing what she was doing.
Aullana was in the bushes quickly, using her nose to search out the baby. She could feel her paws getting hot. No, no, no.. calm down. Don't get too worked up. She didn't need to start conjuring up fire and scare her child. To her knowledge only Ventash'ma had ever seen her conjure fire when they'd been attacked by that Wood Elf years ago. She shook her paws, trying to calm her nerves as she sought out her baby. She only prayed Chath wasn't scurrying her way into danger. The Woods weren't always the safest place to be by yourself.

Teti growled low in her throat as he approached but did little else, she could barely move otherwise. Even the act of sitting upright took it out of her. Her ears flicked and twitched as she listened to him, exhaling sharply in frustration and turning her gaze from the male. She owed him a thank you for fixing her up instead of leaving her to die or finishing the job. But she just couldn't bring herself to say anything at the moment, too proud and too stubborn to be polite.
She grit her teeth and tried to refrain from grinding them in frustration and anger, more at herself than at him. She blinked and glanced down at the cloth, having been staring out the cave entrance forcefully. Her eyes trained on the fabric for a few moments before she looked at him, her eyes hard and guarded. "Why'd you save me? You didn't have to save me.." She turned her eyes from him, back to the entrance. Almost unwilling to hear the answer.
Lithium was indeed lost in her own little world, this place brought peace at a price, for her anyway. But she felt his paw turn her cheek, her eyes delayed in following but as soon as they turned and she looked at him she felt it. His lips on hers. The gesture, the kiss.. she couldn't register it at first. She seemed lost for words, for anything but simply staring at him. As he stammered, as he became shy she felt something break loose inside of her, like a wall cracking deep inside of her soul and her face wavered, dipping into sadness as she wrapped her arms tighter about her legs and her eyes welled with tears. She began to cry, softly at first but steadily harder until she had to bury her face in her knees to keep him from seeing her.
As she sobbed she tried to speak mentally, at first unable to manage anything but a few muffled words. Finally something emerged. 'I.. I'm so sorry Mercutio.. I'm sorry..' She hoped he didn't think it was his fault, it was him and it wasn't. But not in a bad way. It was her own sorrow, her own trouble. Oh, why? Her petite body shook with despair with agony and emotion. 'I can't.. I want to.. but..' Why couldn't she? Why? She wanted to, so much. She could feel the desire to love within her, she just couldn't figure out how to nurture it anymore. Not after what happened. Not after that night. The night she locked it all away, the night she stopped speaking.

Illidan's face showed little expression on it, his mouth flat and hinting at nothing, and his eyes, ever covered would show nothing to her as he stood over her watching her shift about in irritation.
He crouched lower inspecting the wound closer as she continued to look towards the entrance. "Calm down, your worth it to explain why." He stood up again glancing towards the entrance. "I once had generals, minions, armies and a world in my grasp." He held up an empty hand clenching and un-clenching. "I need power, and you have power... and thats why I keep you around."
Everything was so quiet, so awkward, yet at the same time he felt at peace with her being here in this place. Though that peace and confusion soon became sad, more confusing and wrenched Mercutio's heart as if his own Grandfather was slowly crushing it with his own hands.
He glanced over in confusion as her body shook with sobs as she burried her face away to hide. Hand shaking and his body cold with worry for Lithium he leaned over wrapping his arms gently around her. N-no don't be sorry, Lithium, please, please don't cry, I-I'm sorry I knew you, I just, I didn't..." he sighed quietly running a hand through her hair patting and craddeling trying as best as he could to calm the girl. I want to help... I want to make it better...

Grinning up at her, he cocked an eyebrow. A light chuckle causing his chest to rise and fall quickly. "That doesn't sound like a bad idea. I wouldn't mind, as long as I don't get fat. Though if I ate a ton of bon-bons I probably would. And then I wouldn't be attractive to you anymore." He sniffed indignantly, scratching at the back of his ear lightly. Snapping his teeth as her lips passed over his, the tip of his tail tapped against the floor three times before it lay still. "Well then, I guess you'll just have to stay home and sit on the couch with me and eat bon-bons. I wouldn't want your imagination to just dry up because you had to wear the pants. Though I'd prefer if you didn't wear any in the first place." His grin grew ear to ear at his little remark. Finding it fairly clever.
Kebas could really care less what Rinko had in mind for fixing up. He had to admit it really was a bachelor pad. Though he did keep it as tidy as he could. It suited him. If she wanted to add a few things here or there he wouldn't really object much. The male figured it would happen eventually anyway, since she was to stay with him now. Meankis could be fickle things really.
Chath heard her mother's calls. Ears perking as she listened to how close they were. Pretty close in fact. Even running full out she wasn't fast enough to put too much distance between them.
The sudden sound of movement through the dry foliage caught her attention though. And a soft hissing noise made her eyes go wide. Staring at the entrance to her little hidey hole, her little heart started to race as black eyes stared back at her. Apparently this was someone else's home. A forked tongue flicked out as another soft hiss came from the snake. Being small, it seemed huge to Chath.
Jumping back, she flattened herself against the back wall of the hole. She was trapped. If she made a run to get out she most certainly would have been bitten. And the kit didn't quite have the knowledge yet to know whether or not this snake was poisonous. Her little claws extended as they dug into the dried wood behind her. Her heart pounding in her ears loudly. "M-m..." Chath's throat had dried up. The words where there but she couldn't get them to come out. Another soft hiss. This time panic really set in. "M-M-Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!" Finally she was able to call out. Her little voice getting higher in pitch as she called out, the snake moved an inch furthur. Its tongue flicking out again as it tasted the heat in the air that emanated from her little body.

Teti felt her blood start to heat. What? Did he expect to use her? Like some kind of fighting dog? Or was he going to somehow leech off of her? Hell no. No ******** way. She felt every muscle in her body harden, her mind focused on one thing. Getting up. She was going to get out of here if it killed her. She started up, her teeth gritting in pain as she started to rise but as soon as she'd taken two steps she hit the ground hard, a paw sliding out to brace herself as her long hair obscured her gaze and blocked the form of Illidan from sight. C'mon, she could do this. Her vision started to become hazy, the world spun and she let out a soft yelp of pain and hit the ground. Her arm collapsing under the pressure.
She blacked out again for a few minutes and woke up exhaling dirt, blinking past the gray matter swarming over her eyes in an effort to see straight. She hurt all over and her paw was bleeding again. Damn it! She didn't care what he thought of her. She didn't care what anyone thought of her. She only wanted to be strong enough to walk a couple of steps without falling down like a toddler. She managed to push herself back up into a sitting position, now a few feet from where she'd originally been placed. Her ears lay flat out, her eyes vacant, staring off into the Woods as she felt the hair at the nape of her neck rise. "What am I supposed to do for you?" She wanted to rip him apart, she'd do nothing for him.. nothing.
Lithium didn't know what to do, she didn't know what to say. All she could do was cry. She almost shyed away from his touch, but not because it was him, because she was uncertain. She was scared. The other part, the part that had cracked her inside wanted him to hold her. 'P..please.. don't be sorry.. it's not you. It's not you..' Her voice was empty, devoid of anything but an echoing sadness, an abyss of hurt. 'It can't be fixed, it can never be better.' She cried, her body tense but trying to relax. Like each half of her brain wanted completely different things but had equal strength, so neither could give up control to the other.
The tree's seemed to shake, the leaves starting to shiver and create a unique vibrating sound almost like music but more natural. Her crying gradually stopped and she simply sat there, unmoving, as if she'd turned to stone. Her gaze focused off into the small haven she'd created. Her oasis within and oasis of flora and fauna. Slowly she managed to whisper to him mentally. 'Why do you stay? Why don't you find a pretty girl with a good heart and make a family, Mercutio? What keeps you shackled to the world of loneliness?' The question was almost out of place, but she said it in such a manner as to warrant ease. Her eyes slowly turned to the male, undisturbed features, as though she'd not been crying moments before. The only hint was the extra luminosity in her already glowing eyes.
