Welcome to Gaia! ::

Karin watched him uncertainly for a moment, then slowly nodded. "Oh, ok..." She paused at his question and glanced down for a moment before nodding again. "Yes... I didn't have anywhere else I could go." Her ears were drooping now, but she still smiled at him. "But it was fine," she said with a slight shrug. "I mean, there's nothing wrong with sleeping outside. It was peaceful and... stuff," she finished lamely. She leapt onto another branch, claws lightly brushing the trunk to stable herself.

"I'll damn who I please cuz I could have saved mys-..." ...Easy? Did he just call her easy!? Scytheress clenched her fists at her sides and her shoulders shrugged up slightly, a bit of her youthful elven childishness showing through upon hearing Kujiro's latest comment. She looked exactly like a young kitsune who was just denied going on its first hunt. Her tail brushed back and forth against the back of her legs madly as her eyes locked on Kujiro. In truth, Scy wasn't exactly sure what Kujiro meant by asking if she was always this easy, assuming he was referring to the fact she'd been taken down so easilly a few moments ago and he'd had to save her... Well he hadn't had to. Scythe could have done it herself. That's probably what irritated her the most now. Though, Scy wasn't one to stay 'angry' very long and her posture quickly relaxed, her tail smothing back out and her eyes half-lidding themselves. Slowly she crossed her arms and fixed the man with a rather uncaring stare.

"Think as you will." She snapped her neck to one side and then flung her head back to flip the red hair in her eyes out of her face. Too much was going on for her to be worrying about Kujiro now, she'd just have to suffer his presence. Or try too... He was so....quirky. Like his random comments while not even paying attention to the person he was talking to rubbed Scy the wrong way. He was entirely too observant and noticed things not even Scytheress would. Thus... it doomed Scy to approach him. His intrest in something she was unaware of practically drowned Scythe in curiousity. She stepped up to his side and looked at him rather than where he was looking. "And what is so captivating?" She waited for a response but it came in a language she'd long forgotten so she wasn't even sure if it was directed at her or not but his movement said enough. Tilting her head, Scytheress peered out into the woods, waiting for some sign as to what it was, all the while the hairs on the back of her neck starting to rise.

Every sense was heightened as she waited, hearing even Kujiro's breaths and the light crunch of dirt under her shifting weight. Scythe was so tuned in to everything else that a loud cry of her name nearly knocked her off her feet. To any human the call would be far in the distance but for the Fox it might at well have been a fog horn in her ear. "Dammit all." She was careful not to knock Kujiro as she brought her hands up to massage her abused ears. "Curs'ed little git..." Scythe only had to look a little farther to the right to see Pander, well she would have seen him if the trees weren't there. But she had little time for the boy as her attention went back to Kujiro. As curious as she was to know what was up with the man she'd helped a long time ago, her partial enemy was much more enticing.

It was about then that she noticed the exact intensity of Kujiro's gaze. His eyes were nearing complete blackness, and although Scythe found that unbelievably awsome it also worried her. She made the probable mistake of prodding his arm lightly as she looked from him back to whatever he was staring at. "Gonna tell me what it is or am I going to have to figure it out myself?" Her voice was unitentionally sarcastic but it got her point across. She didn't like not knowing what was going on and was irritated that the information she wanted wasn't already being provided.

SUka thought ofor a moment and hten noddded. "I suppose that sounds right. Those things are useless." He said nodding and swinging his legs bck in forth, his dagger still in his right hand but his left resting calmly on the branch beside him. He wondered how much she really knew about forests....she never seemed to have lived in one for very long if he was thinking right. He slid off of his branch and loked up at her before walking again in the same directioas before from the ground. HE heard people not far from here they were and wnated to see what was going on....it was probably likely that even Karin had not heard them from where they stood...he acceptional hearing that he had was abnormal even for a wolf. If they were not being so loud he would be confident that she would not have heard them but it mattered not to him for hwe was gonna go seewhat was happening either way.

Suka continued walking and when he fel her come donwn not far behind him on all fours he looked back at her. "I don't suppose you heard them did you?" He asked looking back aead afterward and slipping his dager and both of his hands back into his pockets as they walked in the direction which Scytheress's voice had come from. He was not sure of whether or not they'd be doing something smart by coming so close to them. For now curiousity seemed to be what drove him to make most of his decisions...had been that way for a while now. He walked at a regular pace realizing now that he was ahead of her as he had not payed much atention to that fact moments earlier. For some reason he'd become accustomed to following her....that could not be good and if it did not change then there might be problems later...

Suka continued in the direction that he'd started but felt now that he had been going in the wrong direction and should have taken more of an angle. HE turned sharply between a few trees and started to weave back and forth through them on his way toward the voices he'd herd. He tried to speed up having assumed that she would not have been the one to get left behind. Earlier he'd always gone slower then her and he thought it mightbother her if he went too slow so he walked faster...the voices seemed to start again only quietly though and he continued toward them stopping on the way to try andpick up a scent.

He sniffed a few times blinking as he felt her arely stop herself from running into him and then turned around to her shrugging. "I smell them...but for now I think we should wait a little longer before coming any closer..." He said jumping up in the tree he was nearest and looking down at her. "For some reason I think tht would be the best thing to do for now..." He said shrugging and looking down ather waiting to see what she would do as he had decided not to go farther toward the scent and sound for a while. Maybe they'd talk a bit more.

"We're waiting..." he said and smiled. "So...did you have any siblings? Or were you an only child? He asked now a bit more curious then he had expected to be...now he was hoping to make idle conversation as he waited for whatever it was that he'd decided to wait for. If it came early then that'd be nice but he as feeling as if that were not going to happen, he let his hair fall in his face soon after he asked ter the question. He didn't notice but at the very moment that his hair fell in his face his eyes changed to the indigo from before. Even if he had felt it happen he would not have known why they had...he was not worried about it for now anyway.

"I don't remember..i don't think I did...but it was a long time ago and if I did then they're dead." He said as she moved his hair blinking once as he saw her eyes widen and noted that she was now staring into his. He looked back into hers being distracted by this as his eyes glimmered a bit from some of the light breaking through the tree tops.If they were still blac they would not have done so. He was about to ask her what she was doing but stopped himself for some reason..not sure of why she was looking into his eyes like that but trying not to question it...
