Tae smiled at him, hugging him once more before waving and heading up the hall. He had definatly had a nice day today, thanks to Ryland's visit. And now he'll be visited more by Ryland, he was just overjoyed.
He did consider Ryland like family, both from similar backgrounds and tribes, even though it seemed thier tribes did things differently, they still saw things in a similar light.
Naruto opened the door, a towel on his head and pretty much shirtless. From the dampness on his jeans, it was aparant he had likely just come back from having a shower. Wither way he was a lot calmer now, he just needed to cool off.
"Hey... Um.. Sorry about yelling at you earlier... That guy just really got on my nerves..." He apologized quietly, almost like he wasn't used to apologizing to people. He hadn't really needed to in a long time since he usually saw it as the other person's fault. But now that he had yelled at Ryland, when he shouldn't have, he had felt guilty ever since he left him at Tae's door.
"You didn't deserve to see me so upset like that."
~+~
"Are you one of those intensive care guys..? The ones that are isolated from everybody..? Why? You don't seem at all dangerous to me..." But then, not many people would say the same about him or Razor. Especially not Razor, that guy would likely cry if he stepped on a bug when he isn't big mean and scary. It was almsot amusing the difference.
But still never the less. Blinking at the other's apology, he wrapped his large arms around Andie, hugging him gently. "Hug's are meant to be good to relax..." He told him softly, his arms loosening enough for the fox to escape if he wanted to.
"I like to see people happy, I don't like it at all when there's fear in the air. And I suppose keeping Razor out've trouble is a hobby of mine." He told him, looking at him.

Ivy figited practically all the way from his home to the asylum, and even more when he found himself looking at the building again. Sure, he had been here before. No big deal right? No he was just more figity than normal because he still wasn't sure about last night. What if it happened again here? What would happen?
Letting out a small whimper, he took a deep breath and went inside with his brother, just trying to forget about it. "Um.. who do we see first..? Uncle Gideon or Raptor..?" He asked softly, looking around edgedly.

"Raptor? Just real quick to see if he is in a vistor mood. I don't want to give him the plushie if he's just going to shred it. If he's in a bad mood we'll go see uncle Gideon." He said and leaned over to stroak Ivimy hair. "Calm down, your all edgy."

"Raptor.. okay" He said softly, before practically flinching at being touched, before realising it was jsut his brother. "Sorry..." He started off in the direction of Raptor's Cell, before peering into it through the tears in the metal.
"Raptor..? Are you okay to talk..?" He asked softly. "If not it's okay we can come back another time..."
Raptor's face appeared in the holes, blinking at Ivy. "Why did you come back..?" he croaked, seeming to be in disbelief. Not many people wanted to, after all. But he unlocked the door for them and let them come in, regardless of the answer.

A'shi sigh and smiled taking no offence as his brother winced from his touch. "It's alright Ivimy. This place makes me a little jumpy as well." He followed Ivimy down to the cell.
A'shi smiled. "Cause you're our cousin." He walked into the cell patting the pouch. "We brought you something."

"You.. got me something...? Why..? I don't deserve anything..." He lay on his bed, his back to them.
Ivy bit his lip, before going over to him and hugging him. "Everything that happened isn't your fault, Raptor.." He said quietly, finding it a bit nerve-racking to be close to him. "You're ill.. and untill there's a cure for this feral thing, the only thing we can offer is love.. something your likely not used to... But we want to help you.."

"Yes you do." A'shi walked over and took the pouch off siting beside Raptor and set it in the other's lap. "We wheren't sure what you like but well just open it." He said leaning against his cousin.

Raptor sniffled softly, and looked at the pouch, somewhat touched. He wasn't used to people being nice to him, or even having the guts to visit him again even after what happened. Sitting up he opened the pouch, pulling out the lion and blinking at it.
"A.. lion..?" He asked, tilting his head. "This is.. for me..?"
Harlequinn stuck his head out've the pouch, blinking at the boy infront of him, before seeming to panic. "Mayday mayday! Back awayyyy!" He called up to Ivy, looking desperate.
Ivy looked down at Harlequinn. "What is it? He's fine, Harlequinn.." He said, before his ears flattening at the growl that came from Raptor, and just looked up in time to catch the other's clawed hand as he started to mutate.
"Who do you think you are? Trying to buy his favour with gifts and this "love"! You just think you can turn up and give him toys thinking he can be helped like that?? He's not a child!!" He seethed through a long snout, wiskers springing out from the flesh. It was aparant that the feral personality was rather protective.

Ryland smiled and watched Tae return to his room before turning back to look up towards Naruto, smiling lightly before he gave Naruto a very quick hug, backing away again as he shook his head at the other's apology. "I understand, Naruto, you don't have to apologize." Blinking, he tilted his head and looked up towards Naruto, frowning slightly for a few moments.
A smile slowly curved his frown as he shook his head, "And you don't deserve to be treated like that. It's okay, I can handle more than you know," Ryland said with a brow quirked. That much was at least true. Once he lived with the drunkard of a rat and Murray, he could take a lot more than just being yelled at. Patience and... understanding, something that most lacked, he had an abundance of.
---
Andie closed his eyes, fingers twitching softly to the hug - though not an objection to it - while he listened to the other speaking. Shaking his head softly, he gave a very light frown, "No... I'm a misunderstood genius," He said something before he decided to change his answer. "I suppose I would fit into intensive care if I were in a publicly used and operated asylum. I.. keep myself alone. When I get near people, I do things... A 'silent cry for attention,' that one of the PAST called it, though it's more of... the need to feel special, if only for a few moments."
Another frown set upon his soft lips as his eyes slipped shut, throwing his mind into thought. The past one's had always said it was a silent cry for help that, that they felt obligated to answer, to help him... but they were in denial, and trying to save their own asses from court. That was why he... changed... his age. Although he was only a mere sixteen, he claimed to be nineteen, and there were no records to have proof against him of that. Now, maybe, he could find someone that wouldn't run from him over such a silly thing as numbers... Then again, maybe he would find someone who actually made him feel sensations and pleasure.
Frown slowly disappearing, though his brows were furrowed together, he sighed softly and continued to lean against Sabre, completely agreeing about hugs, but saying nothing. As for this Razor... that was none of his business, so he'd keep his nose out of that as well. At least he could comprehend some things that popped into his brain - no equations necessary. "I see... What... does it feel like to look out for someone like that?" Andie asked, really wanting to know what it felt like to be looked after like that, but deciding to settle with the way it came out the first time.

"I can believe that." He replied simply, looking behind him. "Can you come in, it's freezing with the breeze.." He pulled away from the door, going back to sit on his bed and dry off his hair.
"Did you have a good time with Tae-chan?" He asked after he was finished, putting the towel down and pulling his shirt over his head. "And what is that?" He pointed at the dream catcher, having never really seen one before.
~+~
"You're lonely." He stated simply, pulling away from him. "There's a few people like that here... You can feel special without trying to do bad things."
He sighed softly, leaning back on his hands. He could think of hundreds of people who all tortured peoples lives because it made them feel good in one way or another, because they were neglected like that. It was the only way they knew to actually get that feeling that they were worth something. His son was one of them, a few of his deceased nephews were also the same.
He shook his head, his ear picking up the last question. He thought breifly on it, and smiled. "It's.. a nice feeling. Because you feel like you're needed by someone, and your not just someone in the world with no purpose... I suppose it's a similar feeling for being looked out for.. You know your not alone, that someone will always be there for you when you need them." He chuckled weakly. "Not many people look out for me though..."

Ryland walked inside and closed the door quietly behind him before taking a few steps forward into the room, his eyes flicking down to look at the dream catcher. "It's a dream catcher," He said softly as he brushed his thumb over the feather with a smile, "...and a good luck charm." He added in an ever softer voice. Blinking softly, he took a step forward and set it on Naruto's bed before backing up to open the door again.
"Y-you can borrow it! Y-you need some good luck and to keep nightmares away. Umm... I--will come back for it in a few days, okay? Take g-good care of it, alright Naruto?" Ryland said stumbling over his words as he backed out of the room, nearly stumbling over his tail as well before he closed the door and turned around, leaning back against the door as he sucked in a breath. Hopefully all good byes weren't so hard, he knew for sure he'd see Tae again... but with Naruto he had doubts sometimes.
---
Andie didn't seem to really care when Sabre let him go, sitting up as soon as the other did so. Tail flicking about behind him, he closed his eyes softly and folded his arms across his chest, "I never said they were bad things. Besides... anything that feels good is bad for you," He said in a matter-of-fact tone of voice as he slowly stood up, eyes following a leaf that was being blown by the gentle breeze.
Listening to Sabre, he couldn't help but distance himself, becoming a bit more... cold and distracted... as he turned away from him and watched the leaf with his deep golden eyes, "Must be nice," Andie mumbled in a very off-beat voice. Walking over after the leaf, he gently picked it up and sat down, examining it over in his hand.
To escape unwated feelings, he often found something to distract himself - to keep his mind under control as well as his body behavior. Flicking his tail, he gently crushed the leaf and held his hand up, allowing the pieces to drop, watching them as they got carried away by the wind. "Hm. A mere leaf in society," He muttered softly. "Shouldn't have come back out... wasn't quite ready for it. Too many unwanted feelings, thoughts... Not made to be social or special, just alone." Andie repeated to himself in a somewhat monotone voice, remembering what his 'brother,' James Aleksandir had said to him when he abandoned him in that asylum. "Yeah... time to go back home?" He asked himself softly, many different voices, or thoughts, running through his head with different answers.

Naruto blinked, looking down at this dreamcatcher before the other stumbled out. He moved to stop him, but he had shut the door before he could even get a word in, and he slumped back down on the bed, picking up the netted charm.
"Well.. you're not so lucky so far.." he told it softly, before hanging it up on teh wall with a kunai and laying back on the bed, wondering why Ryland had gotten so edgy. His ears lowered as he came tot eh thought that maybe he was now afraid of him, like everyone else was.
Oh well..
~+~
Sabre watched these changes in the male, but didn't seem diheartened by this, in fact, he seemed to relax a little, his eyes half shutting and he stayed smiling. It was a strange vibe he was getting, he wasn't sure what it was, but it made him curious.
Standing up, he followed him and knelt beside him, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Name them." He said, almost in a soft demand. "These unwanted feelings, what are they?"

Ryland pursed his lips together and gave a heavy sigh before pushing away from the door, looking down at the orb before he looked around, suddenly realizing that he hadn't payed enough attention since he got there to figure out where the door was. Biting his lip, he growled softly to himself before gently opening Naruto's door again.
Poking his head into the door he blushed softly as he gave a slightly frustrated look, "Um... Naruto? Which way is the way to the front door?" Ryland blinked and smiled softly to see that Naruto had already put the dream catcher up, his tail swishing slightly as he waited for directions.
---
"Any of them, or all of them..." Andie spoke softly, distracted, distant, waiting for one thought to stick in his mind. That's usually what he did, asked a question and waited to get one thought to stick so he could focus on it. Closing his eyes, he tried to concentrate, although found that difficult since he also had the urge to be polite and answer Sabre's questions.
"Unwanted feelings to do what feels good, and what feels right. Its better to do nothing than either of those. Pills won't make them go away, they just come back. They always come back. No pills for correct social skills, either. Only AndilliePanillie's... Can't take those--musn't take those." He muttered softly. If he took an AndilliePanillie... Well, there would be nothing left of him but a brain-dead, drooling idiot. He'd become a vegetable for the rest of his life.
Either that, or he'd gain a little bit more sense of logic, but it wasn't something he was willing to risk. He made the pills because he was only sixteen, and his body couldn't register everything his brain had been telling him to do... So what did he do? found somewhere else to store that energy, thus creating a pill with his essense... though with lack of necessary logic, he often gave the pills away, mind-linking him with those he gave one to.

"Yes. It's a special lion.." A'shi trailed away and took Raptors wrist from Ivimy. "Ivy why don't you back up a little bit okay?" He said calmly looking into the ferals eyes.
"You don't need to be a child to revieve gifts. It's not buying him off or his favor," A'shi said calmly keeping his voice soothing. "I'm his cousin so Ivimy, and I thought he would like a plushie since if helps Ivimy. If you want to take it out of someone you can do it on me and not my brother." A'shi was not going to allow anything to happen to his brother.

Naruto looked over at the door as it opened, blinking at the cat before smiling weakly. "It's up the hall.. jusst follow the signs that say "EXIT". It's the only fire escape in the whole asylum, you can't miss it really." He told him, wanting to take him to the exit himself, but he didn't feel up to it, especially if it was true and Ryalnd was scared of him now.
~+~
"Ahh.. Morals.." He said simply, before watchign the other start to babble like an idiot, he listened to him, shaking his head after a while. This guy definatly was crazy, he could see that.
Looking away for a few moments, he thought on something he could do, before smirking, and turning to him. "If you stop thinking, you only do what your instincts do... you see it more on spontainious stuff... I'll show you.." He said, before putting a hand under his own chin.
"Say "Ahhhhh." Nice and loudly for me okay?" He said, watching him with lazy eyes.
