The dark male released his hold on the light female when he felt her let go, clearing his throat a little as he raised a paw to wipe away any wetness that remained on his face. Being called 'big boy' sounded odd to him when he thought about it. He nodded at her question. "Sure." After telling her so much about him and his family Vulcan didn't feel like saying much now, and he felt tired. For a few moments his mind was quiet and he realized that Deimos hadn't said anything in a while, making him both happy and worried at the same time. At least now he wasn't pestering him about Sandy, but then again who knew what the blackberry was plotting to get back at him for yelling earlier? Only time would tell, and he hoped it would wait until he woke up the next day.
When he looked up at Sandy again he was glad to see that her smile was still there and he stood, the vines wrapping themselves around his forelegs as was custom so they wouldn't catch on anything while he walked.

Vulcan was being very quiet, but that wasn't much of a change even she couldn't think of anything to say so as he stood she nodded, turned and began to paw steadily to the closest source of water. Even though the two where silent it hadn't felt awkward she enjoyed it for once she wasn't bouncing or playing the part of the fun blond bimbo, she too was tired and hoped it wouldn't be too far. It just so happened to be in a small cave big enough for the two of them plus some but not deep, the light of the moon through the tree's showing its entrance. Sandy turned long enough to nuzzle his side and nod towards the cave before carrying on into it and the water source, lapping up a good amount of water and letting out a refreshing "Ahh."

For once the silence around him didn't seem strange, though the silence in his head was new for a change. Slowly he began to not worry about it and tried concentrating on the time he was spending with Sandy, which was a nice reprieve from Stravina and Deimos. He hadn't really been paying attention to where he was going, he was just walking in one direction before the light female nudged him in the direction of a cave. Sandy went in before he did, lapping the water up thirstily and letting out a refreshed 'ahh'. Vulcan didn't smile often, hardly ever but a smirk did find it's way onto his maw as he dipped his head down to take a few laps of the cool water, not taking notice of the size of the cave but instead how both the moon and the lioness lighted it. That on it's own made the cave beautiful and warm.

Shaking her head tiny sprinkles of water escaped for several centimeters before dissipating or dropping to the ground, Sandy not really noticing or paying attention as usual. Even her mind seemed to be having a rest from its normal marathon like state of thinking, a lioness like Sandy had a lot of trouble thinking before she spoke when it got going. The only things that came to mind where about how much she was enjoying being with Vulcan alone, nothing about his past or what he'd said she must of been tired.
Stretching out her legs and letting a wide yawn escape her maw she blinked to try and remove the wavering sleepy feeling that lingered over her, she didn't want this to end so soon. If she fell asleep would he stay? When she awoke would he be there with his usual mysterious looks or would tonight allow a smile for once and not one of those silly forced gestures he attempted to please his sister and their friends.

Soon the dark male drank to his fill and he lifted his head up, some water dripping off of his maw before he shook his head, his mane shifting as he did so. Vulcan watched as Sandy stretched her legs and yawn, which in turn caused him to yawn as well, his jaws opening all the way with his lips pulling back to reveal the sharp white teeth before closing some moments later. The feeling of sleep was growing slowly, and the yawn only made it worse. He shook his head again to try and get rid of it, but it returned shortly after.
Vulcan looked back at the lioness, it could be seen in his eyes that he was getting drowzy. "It's getting late, and I'm growing tired." He said, turning after a moments hesitation and walking to the wall closest to him and laying down with his head on his paws. The dark male didn't want their time to end so soon and so abruptly, but what could they do or say if they were both tired? As he lay there he could feel himself go into a sort of daze, his eyes looking distant.

It wasn't long before it was obvious both of them where hitting the end of the night, as Vulcan spoke she nodded slowly and followed closely behind "That it is and that I am" she was speaking softly and calm, her brain already far ahead of her and in a sleeping state leaving her body to run the show. Only a few second behind him she laid down and snuggled up to his side, oh that warmth, sharing another's body heat. A rush of heat flowed through her body and before she knew it her tongue was already out and licking the side of his face, a quick nuzzle to follow then as if nothing had happened she laid her head was on her paws. It appeared that without Sandy's brain her body had a will of its own, or did it? Was this what Sandy would have done anyway... She didn't know nor did she care, she wasn't thinking she'd had fun and in a way that must of been her body's way of saying good night, in a way she'd never shown before.

The lion hadn't expected the lighter female to follow him, and he hadn't even noticed until he felt her against his side. Needless to say he was surprised when she licked his cheek and nuzzled him, pulling him out of his daze. As he raised his head to look at her he found that hers was already down on her paws, like nothing had happened. It felt strange to him, no one had ever touched him like that. No one besides his mother, that is, and that was so long ago... What is she doing? Vulcan asked himself, looking down at her with an expression mixed with longing and pain. She knows that being around me could be dangerous, so what is she doing so close to me?
I can see you're uncomfortable.
The dark male froze, his heart feeling as if it had stopped for a few moments before beating loudly in his chest, his indigo eyes wide. He knew Deimos wouldn't leave for long and that he'd return at the most opportune time to torment him.
I hate to see my gracious host in such a state as this. I know why he feels that way. Deimos was speaking as if there was another with him in his mind, but there wasn't. If he'd just let me take control of the vines I could scare her off for him so that she couldn't torment my friend any longer with fantasies that he can never have, toying with his emotions. She's an evil wretch that needs to be taken care of.
He had remained quiet at first, listening to what the blackberry was saying, but then it became too much as his face contorted into an angry expression, his lips pulling back to bare his teeth as he quickly sprang to his paws. NO! Vulcan growled, hating everything about himself. Lies! All you ever do is lie! The dark male roared in anger and annoyance.
Deimos, on the other hand, was unnaturally cool about it. Whatever do you mean fair Vulcan?
Sandy is NOT evil! She isn't doing any of those things you said she is!
How long have you known her? How much of her past do you know? Now now dear friend, you've told her your life story, but what about her own? It seems an unfair trade to me.
With a snarl he walked briskly to the mouth of the cave, taking his internal conversation away from the shining lioness. When things got like this he had a tendency to say his thoughts alloud, and it frightened most everyone that saw him. They all thought he was psychotic and dangerous. What does it matter how long I've known her, or how much of her past do I know? I don't need to know such things about her to know that she's a good person with only good intentions! Sandy can't be any less than that, and if she wanted to or felt like she had to she'd tell me her past without prompting. Vulcan had begun walking again, now feet away from the entrance to the cave, Sandy's warm light on his back.
Ah, but did she not have to poke and prod you before you spilled your guts about us?
"That was different!" He shouted, tail lashing and wings unfurling. "She could tell that something was wrong with me! I didn't want her to know, but she was trying to be a good friend and hoped to alleviate some of my pain." His dark mane shifted as he shook his head, his eyes clenched. "But it didn't. It felt good to lean on someone other than my sister, but now I've burdened her with my secret and now I'm more scared than ever." Why am I admitting to all of this? And to HIM of all things? I shouldn't be having this conversation with him; where's Stravina when I need someone to talk to?

Sandy had been oblivious to his reactions at first, upon resting her head down she'd fallen asleep without a thought of her actions. It wasn't until he'd moved at the comfort of his big warm body had left that she began to stir enough to blink open her eyes still dazed from sleep. As she watched him move as if preoccupied she remained still and silent, following with her eyes and trying to wake herself up enough to move.. to judge the situation, even to think.
The roar was enough to jolt her entire body and spring her mind into action, Why was he up? He looked busy with himself and the roar.... Deimos? That would explain it, as he'd told her earlier in the night of his past and the other part of him, the horrible and evil part of him, and when he was like this he'd said it was him... or thats how she'd figured it. Should she get up to comfort him? Oh how she wanted to spring to her feet and dart over and interrupt whatever was playing out within her friend. As Vulcan came to a stop at the cave she froze up, she'd faced harder situations like this but there was always more physical things that she could judge the situation and make a decision on how to act but here... He could of already turned, had she yet again done something to upset him?
Sandy's blue eyes dropped as she gritted her teeth slightly, the sound of his feet padding away gave her the next jolt of reactions. Springing to her feet and darting to the entrance of the cave in time to see him a few feet away and hear his words obviously continuing the conversation that had been going on the whole time she'd just been lying their. It had been about her, she had done something... Silly Sandy... Now she could feel the guilt welling up, burdened her? It sounded more like she'd burdened him even more so, and with that she'd began to paw towards him with a whisper she bowed her head.
"You've not burdened me at all, Vulcan... I asked and pestered you, and.. I'm sorry, but I won't go... you can try push me away but ya'know..." She held back a laugh and decreased it to a light scoff, peering up to him and feeling the relief of her frown dissipate into a gentle smile. "I'm quite the stubborn type, please... I'm a big girl..." Sandy wasn't sure how else to put it, she'd not thought about this happening all this information had been so recently given and then their was the fact she'd woken up not too long ago to this. In a way it was from her heart rather than her mind, she wanted to help, she honestly didn't want Vulcan to feel trapped with this or feel that he'd burdened her but If she couldn't get through to her own brother about this kind of thing how on earth was she to portray any of her feelings on the matter to Vulcan without him taking it the wrong way...

The dark male could feel the blackberry give a disquieting smirk. She comes. Better get your act together.
By the time Vulcan understood what Deimos had just said the light lioness was next to him again, startling him. "Oh, Sandy. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you." I wasn't aware that I was shouting. "You don't have to go... I just... I haven't told anyone about this before that's outside of the family, it feels strange. It feels like I've burdened you because none of us know what to do about our situation, how can someone who doesn't have the same experience help? Don't get me wrong, any help is welcomed, but... it just seems a little hopeless."
This conversation... it seemed to draw away from them enjoying being alone together as friends and having a good time, like normal lions would; lions that didn't share a body with evil. Vulcan sighed. "Let's not talk of this anymore, for now at least. Please?"

"Nothings hopeless..." She trailed off and nodded hiding a sigh under her breath, she wanted to talk about it, she wanted to help but how was that possible if he didn't? Sandy respected his wishes and though she'd had to stop herself she managed it and dropped the subject, finding her eyes drifting up to Vulcan's. It seemed that brief nap had invigorated her physically at least her mind still felt slow but she felt that if she wished, their where marathons calling her name.
"Well I don't know about you but I'm awake... for now at least..." In fact her paws where fidgeting slightly with the ground bellow, she felt a blush coming over her. Where did that come from?

"I'm not quite tired anymore myself." Deimos managed to get me riled up. He could see that Sandy had to stop herself from continuing the conversation. Maybe they could do something, then talk some more about it later? Even though he didn't like to talk about it he knew it was something that required just that, and he'd have to face his problems sooner or later. It might as well be with Sandy. Vulcan looked down, noticing that she seemed itching do do something active. "You seem more than awake." He said with a small grin.

Sandy faked a sigh and shrugged padding over to stand next to him, leaning her head on his back playful as if she was a woeful damsel with nothing to solve her problem. Oblivious to what more than awake could mean but knowing that she was full of energy it wasn't long before she pulled her head back up as if it where attached to a spring, waggling her tail and starting to pad backwards and forwards in front of him. "So what should we do? It's late, I don't think anyones due to wake up for hours not even the sun." She arched her brow questioningly and wore her thinking face pondering over this and that, maybe a game of something would drain this energy then she could return to the cave and curl up against Vulcan's side.
A warm flush surged through her body just like the one earlier in the night, how had she acting on that before and what was that about, thinking about... about... being close to Vulcan? The flush happened again she she found herself trying to hide a blush, she'd not felt that before how odd. Sandy couldn't help but look up towards her friend, only the thoughts of the closeness making her break into some kind of sweat and her stomach was feeling all riled up. Biting her lip gently she tried to ignore it but found it hard, she'd never had to deal with these kind of feelings before and had no clue how to handle them.

The male was beginning to actually feel better, just by seeing how energetic Sandy seemed to suddenly feel, or maybe it was how playful she was being with her head on his back before she paced backwards and forwards. He smiled at the faces she made, feeling a low chuckle try to form. "Then what shall we do?" He asked himself as he watched the lioness's odd actions, trying to hide something on her face. Even though he was curious about it he thought it better not to ask; it probably wasn't about him anyways, though his heart did beat faster at the brief thought that he might've been the cause. He coughed a bit, trying to think of something they could do. "Well, we could go for a run, or play tag, or wrestle, or play hide-and-seek," Vulcan finally suggested, listing some of the first things that came to mind without much thought.

As Vulcan spoke she was more than thankful, his words where just enough to distract her away from those odd feelings. The flush began to fade and in relief she let forth a silent sigh, a grin forming on her face "Oh Woe is us!" she couldn't help but reply to Vulcan's tone in her own slightly sarcastic and dramatically played voice.
Taking several seconds to ponder the choices she narrowed it down not like more people would in their mind no... Sandy was awake and that meant she was back to being as verbal as usual. Thus she began "Well a run would certainly work out some of this energy but then I don't see the point in runnning if you've got no set place to go plus it would be kinda boring..." Shifting her jaw from side to side Sandy began to pace backwards and forwards again "Hide and seek's fun and all but you'd find me within seconds.... I can't stay still at the best of times let alone right now." Snorting she rolled her eyes true fact that she'd never been good at hide-and-seek what with her unusual glow and hyperactivity most of time.
"That only leaves Tag and wrestle and both sound good to me... How about..." Sandy grinned a wicked grin and began to pad away looking back "Tag first!" And with that she was off darting as quickly as she could, chuckling to herself to make it easy to be followed.

A small, almost inaudible bit of the chuckle that had began to form moments ago found it's way out of his maw as Sandy spoke. It was interesting how she voiced her thought process on the elimination of his suggestions; he could see why hide-and-seek was out, he wasn't thinking when he said that one. Running did seem pointless with no destination. He hadn't even realized he'd suggested wrestling, but from the grin on her face and the way she was walking away told him what her choice was; which he was thankful for even though part of him wanted to wrestle, the other part was afraid someone would get hurt and a third part of him was afraid of such close and continuos contact with the lioness. He smiled, letting her get ahead a few moments before he took off running after her, following her chuckling and her glow.
Running in the dark was harder than he thought, he'd managed to stumble on a few rocks and sticks and even ran right through a bush in his pursuit.
