Ara looked at the small boy as they walked and smiled. She would have to get him used to asking for help better. She wanted to show him love again cause it just seemed that he had been through so much in his small life that all he knew now was pain and abandonment. She watched him as they walked through the human area and out towards the dorms. "Ok but if you feel like you need to stop atleast then we can stop, but i wont pick you up." she said with a smile.
She knew that he was just being a little stubborn but she would fix that. And Morph would love the little male just as much as she did. Who couldn't? He was cute and he was small and adorable. He looked like he needed love and Ara was more then happy to love on the small toyger! She did miss her family alot too, it had been a long time since she had seen Dracal. But she would have him now, Elijah. And she would remind him that someone can love him with out hurting him.

Pleasingly, he didn't trip once through the trip. Maybe Miss Ara was making sure they weren't going a route that was too hard, or maybe he wasn't getting so clumsy anymore. Either way, by the time they hit the University, Elijah seemed to have regained a few portions of his courage. His face lit up when his paws fell upon soft grass rather than concrete, and the scents of flowers almost overwhelmed him. Even with humans about, the area had good vibes about it, which was a pleasant puzzle he wondered over as he followed after Ara.
The heat made him pant a little, but overall Elijah found that he could put his mind off the tiredness by focusing on the wonderful scents and sounds he heard here: flowers blooming, a fountain not too far away gurgling, the splash from the koi pond, chatter between cats and humans alike . . . It was normal enough that it seemed abnormal to him. But never had the open air felt so good! The kitten's tail lifted along with his spirits, and he slowly began to relax.
. . . Well, until thoughts of meeting Mister Morph hit him again with those doubts. But Miss Ara would like someone who's also nice, Elijah told himself to ward it off as they padded along. Just . . . just keep your head high. "What are classes?" he asked her.

Ara waved to a few cats that she knew on the way to her dorm area with Elijah. There wernt many out, and Morph seemed to be in the room, cause if he wasn't then right now he would be out playing his guitar by the fountain. He had no class at this time of day. She looked at Elijah and smiled. "Class is where we learn things. This is a school. I learn to dance and fight, cause i want to be able to defend my self should i need to. And this is a good school to learn things at. Everyone is pretty nice here." she said with a smile.
She walked into the living area and went up a set of stairs and down a hall till she got to her room. "Now Elijah, Morph is very nice, so please don't worry. Hes not mean at all. Just be calm and you'll see that this is good and were only going to love you and keep you safe and happy." she said petting his head once before standing and opening the door. "Morph? You here?" she asked knowing he was. "I brought someone with me." She said so he knew that she wasn't alone.

Morph had been napping on the end of the bed he and Ara shared, curled up loosely in pool of sunlight coming in through the window. It had seemed like a good day to nap, and he had decided to take advantage of the quiet solitude of their dorm room and the fact that they had a bed. That latter fact certainly held a lot of sway. When Ara entered the room, he cracked open an eye, rolling over to look in the direction of the door. Registering a moment later what she said about having company, he hurriedly pulled on his discarded shirt he had been wearing earlier and rolled the other way off the bed and on to the floor. “I’m up, I’m up!” He called back, rolling his shoulders and pulling his long hair out of his face. On the way to the door, he grabbed a hair tie and pulled his hair back, securing it in a ponytail. “Who is it?” He asked, shaking his head and looking back up at the door. He was mildly curious who it was, since Ara hadn’t mentioned a name, and he couldn’t smell anyone familiar besides her. He wasn’t worried, though.

Huh . . . learning things, was it? It sounded like a dream to him, the ability to have access to knowledge and people that would be willing to impart more. Heck, this whole day felt like something out of a dream: finding not only another toyger, but a woman who wanted to adopt him, give him a home, a family, food . . . Elijah was half-expecting to wake up back in the pierced-human's cage any second now. Instinctlively he drew closer to Miss Ara, ears pricked as he heard a voice from within. He sounded as if they had just awakened him. Meep! He hated interrupting things . . .
"U-Um . . . I'm Elijah, sir," the kitten introduced himself with a squeak, ducking his head once he caught a glimpse of Mister Morph and brushing closer against Miss Ara. "I-I hope you don't mind if I s-s-s-stay. Miss Ara s-s-said I could."

Ara smiled down at the little male as he stuttered when he spoke to Morph too. She looked at Morph and smiled. "We have a child now love." she said. "Hes lost here, from America." She said she reached down and stroked Elijah's back softly. "Don't worry were not in trouble for waking him. He gets too much sleep as it is." she said with a giggle as she winked at Morph. "Would you like some food now? Fish or chicken?" she said with a smile.
She walked over to their little japanese style table and patted a pillow as she went to get the food. "Please sit love and I'll get out some food. Anything to drink?" she asked. She was going to baby him till he let her touch and cuddle him. She just wanted to take him into her arms and make his fears go away. As she walked to the food she hugged Morph and kissed him softly. "Isn't he the cutest?" She said with a smile.

Arriving at the door, Morph was very taken aback by the young toyger that Ara had brought back. Nodding quietly, he gave Ara a one armed hug as she passed, taking in Elijah’s timid form. His eyes passed over the bare patch on Elijah’s forearm to the wicked collar around his neck. His eyes widened further at the sight of the dried blood still on the hooks. His he inhaled shakily a few times, fighting down the urge to punish who ever put the travesty of a collar on him. Registering Ara’s question, he called over his shoulder. “Whatever’s fine, dear.” Crouching down, Morph could see too that the young tom was blind by the nature of his gaze and hesitated, unsure how to approach the situation. All at once he wanted to protect this youngster and lash out against those that hurt it, but it felt more important to make Elijah feel as calm and at ease as possible. “Hello.” He said gently. “I know you don’t know me, but would you like me to take your collar off for you?” Morph asked, concern very evident in his quiet voice. “I could at least remove the spikes so you don’t hurt yourself anymore.”

"A-Ah, um . . ." He was taken aback by all the offers, having to process them slowly. First, food! "Yessum. Er, fish and water's okee?" Elijah answered, inadvertently turning it into a question as he followed Ara's voice, feeling for the place she indicated and all but squealing with delight when he realized it was a pillow; trying to look as not-tired as possible, the kitten clambored right atop it. God, but it felt nice to settle on the soft plush though! He purred a sigh and let his eyes close briefly as he sank in like mud, ignoring the pressure against his neck from the collar as he did so. Boy, they treated cats here nice! They got rooms! Like humans did! Whod've thunk it?
Next, Mister Morph's idea. Three-quarters of him wanted to scream so badly for him to just rip the thing off of him, but that last quarter held back the impulse to shout somehow. Like it knew that he had to do this himself . . . Or maybe it still held a shred of love for past owners. But he didn't have to deal with this collar alone, right? Though Elijah didn't open his eyes again (maybe they were weirded out by the pupiless things?), his ears tilted toward Mister Morph's voice to show that he was listening. "D'aww~ M-Mister Morph, you don't have to take it off. Really! But the s-s-spikes, um . . . yeah. Y-You can take them off?"

Ara smiled over at the two of them as she pulled out some fish and a bowl for some water for him. She looked at them again and smiled. Already she could tell that Morph was attached to the little boy. She pushed her hair out of her eyes as she came over with the food and water. She sat on a pillow next to him and smiled as she set it down on the table in front of him.
She looked over the spikes and thought. "Mmmm yes i'm sure Morph can think of a way to get those off for you. I'm sure that will make you feel better wont it?" she said petting his face again and smiling. She was so happy just being in his presence and making his life better.

Morph turned to watch Elijah move past and all but melt into the pillow. He smiled, feeling a bit of the tension and worry he was feeling eek out of him. But by the way Elijah was acting; Morph wondered what his life had been like before now. Ara said he had been lost, but that didn’t explain everything about his behavior and appearance. He felt the same way about the kittens that were taken by the facility; an outrage at something he didn’t understand, and a need to prevent it from ever happening again. Indeed, the tuffs of hair that resembled wings coming off Elijah’s back were unusual, but to Morph they just made the small Toyger unique, and the fact that he was blind could have come from any number of things. But the collar, the scars and bruises and his submissive attitude were something else entirely. There were only so many things that could have caused them.
Getting up, he walked over to the table. “You don’t have to call me ‘Mister’, Elijah.” He said, smiling. “…makes me feel old.” He added in a slightly embarrassed grumble. Chuckling, he shook his head and smiled down at the blind Toyger. “I think we have some pruning clippers in a drawer somewhere. That might just do the trick for those spikes.” Making his way over into the kitchen, he paused to kiss Ara on the top of her head. “He is sweet.” He murmured in her ear, kissing her again lightly.

God, the smell of fresh food never was sweeter to him; he was practically watering at the mouth by the time Miss Ara came along with the dish and glass of water. Elijah so badly wanted to tear right into it, but the kitten restrained himself just long enough to speak hastily a, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" before diving right in. Almost literally! Three seconds into the gourging he realized it was best to use his paws to hold the fish down, and it was only a small piece at the back of his head that reprimanded him for his lack of manners - which was quickly pushed back as food came tumbling into his stomach.
Thankfully, the kind of fish Miss Ara had given him was de-boned aleady; otherwise, Elijah would have faced choking on one accidentally in his haste to eat.
Once he was finished, the kitten began to clean his face and paws, relishing the taste left in his fur and purring loudly. He all but forgot the water. "But you are old," Elijah replied, a warm belly having loosened his tongue. "At least, to me." To equate him in human years, the kitten was around five or six; to him, Aranyani and Morpheus were definitely old enough to be his parents. This, plus his past experiences with anything that remotely soudned sharp, made him a bit nervous even if it was for his own good. Thus as Morph went on to find these clippers, Elijah drew closer to Ara, drawing both upon her maternal affection and his strangely full belly to keep him calm.

Ara giggled as she watched the little kitten eat happily. She smiled at him as he seemed to try to remember his manners but was too happy to have food and just kept eating. This was going to be very good. She smiled at Morph as he kissed her and said he was sweet. She looked at how nervous he was about the clippers when he was done eating and patted her lap.
"Its ok hun. Come here and i'll keep you safe while he removes them. It will not be painful and hes very careful and good at what he does." she said as she looked to Morph. Her day had been pretty calm but now she felt complete with him. She had her Morph And she now had this small kitten to make them a little family. She pet Elijah's head softly as she waited for him to get into her lap.

Morph made a noise of amusement, chuckling as he rummaged around in the kitchen drawers for the pruning clippers he kept on hand when they kept plants. At least Elijah seemed to be loosening up. Morph was glad that he could be more than timid and submissive. “Alight, alright, I’m old.” Morph laughed, turning around with the clippers in hand. “But you still don’t have to call me ‘Mister’.” The Siberian and Turkish Angora mix looked back at the two Toygers, smiling gently as he returned Ara’s gaze. Walking back to them, he crouched down next to Ara, holding out the clippers to Elijah to touch them if he wanted to to feel more comfortable. “I promise I won’t hurt you, Elijah. These are all I’m going to use.” Morph set the clippers down on the table and sat down. “So whenever you feel ready, I can take them off.” Morph smiled down at Elijah, leaning gently against Ara.

At Ara's request, the kitten managed to wbble into her lap, strangely thrilled to notice how hard it was to move with a full belly. Maybe this was where the phrase "living like a fat cat" came from - and boy did he like it! "I think I'm ready," Elijah said after a small pause, lifting his head as high as he could to expose the dreadful collar. Yeah, he was still pretty nervous with having such a sharp thing near his neck . . . Without meaning to, the kitten's claws unsheathed and began to knead at Ara's skirt slowly. "J-Just . . . Just make it quick." That was all he could ask, like this was a painful operation he was about to undergo.

Ara smiled as she stroked the small boys face when he climbed into her lap. She purred comfortingly as she smiled at Morph. "He'll be slow but quick so you don't get scared ok love?" She said as she kissed the top of his head and smiled. She didn't mind his nails in her skirt that poked into her legs. She was going to let him do as he pleased, she had been through worse. She looked at Morph and shook her head so that he could begin. She stroked Elijah's face softly and hummed a song to him to keep him calm and happy.
