Welcome to Gaia! ::

Uzi didn't want to run, the hunter wanted to face any challenge that came it's way. Still Kaosu had killed it's kind before and probably knew better what limits an essentic could reach. The proto was torn between believing in itself and believing the demon who had experience in this area. Once again Uzi began to pace, tail flicking in agitation behind the tawny coloured lion. Uzi did not want to die and though the essentic now had reservations about Eli there were still bonded and Uzi.. hoped? The human would feel distress if the connection was lost. The essentic shook it's head and growled, so much to think about.

Uzi had no words right now just thoughts and none of them helpful, maybe it should go and be alone. Perhaps Uzi needed to figured these things out on it's own.

Uzi paused and nodded slowly " Still important to think about." Looking around the essentic's eyes picked up the thermal signatures of several small felines lurking nearby " Why do you keep cats?" A sudden change of subject perhaps but it was a question the proto actually wanted an answer to. Perhaps by understanding the other inhabitants of Drente Uzi could better itself and find the answers to it's many questions.

Hmm he was hoarder then, possibly crazy, did this mean his opinions were biased, should Uzi consider the things he said less valuable? On the other hand he was caring for the creatures not just collecting them and hoping they could care for themselves. These people, human, demon and other, they were all so very complicated. Perhaps it was this complication that made them and their luck so dangerous. The idea disturbed Uzi though the essentic had never thought of Eli as particularly complicated.

" You are not the same species, how can there be kinship?" Kin were family and family was blood.. or marriage. Cats and humans could share neither. Uzi shared essense with other essentics but felt no particular bond with them other than the ability to detect them.

" How can you be solitary and yet all live together? Were you abandoned?" More questions, more things to think about, Uzi finally topped pacing and lay down restint it's masked face upon large paws. How strange human's were, the more they answered questions the more there was to wonder about them. Was it becuase they had souls and different purposes then essentics, Were they better for this difference or worse?

" Did someone leave you alone, is that why you are alone" Uzi didn't understand the concept of abandonment as an emotional issues or a physical term. The essentic was smart in some ways and caught on to many new ideas enough to deliberate over them and how they effected it directly. Still, some things were beyond Uzi ability or willingness to understand. At least the conversation had turned to Kaosu now leaving Uzi more time between his answers to think about things. Perhaps if there was time later the proto would see if Eli could help answer some questions, the ones least likely to cause concern between them.

" Who was she that she was less important than the cats you save?" Uzi was confused now, mind racing to try and guess just what Kaosu meant and not liking any of the possibilities that came up. The lion like proto extended and retraced razor sharp claws again in irritation. Why couldn't humans just be simple and state facts?

" You were social the other night even if you spoke mostly lies" Was Kaosu being falsely social now as well or was he hinting that the essentic had overstayed her welcome.

" Why did you leave her to die" Uzi's voice had suddenly become montone again. Was this what happened when human's no longer cared for their essentics in any fashion or found them useless, they left them to die? Uzi could not see itself ever being useless to Eli and thus there was no need for abandonment. However humans were complex creatures perhaps there were other factors that could lead to such a thing happening


Uzi snarled and bared it's fangs at Kaosu all thoughts of betrayal erased at the mere mention of harm towards it's bonded " I will kill you before you dare harm Eli. Whether it was genuine care for the man or simply and understanding that without him Uzi was purposeless and likely dead the essentic would fight to protect Eli from any threat regardless of the odds not being in it's favour.
