Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sabre chuckled, his hand moving tot he other's cheek. "Sorry, do you not like me teasing? I can stop if you want me to..." he offerered, watching him with lazy eyes.

((Want I should make a thread strictly for Valin's home after this post hun?))

Valin walked slowly in the direction of their home, stopping to check on Sparkey's condition every few feet. "Come on... Just a little farther... We can make it..."

"Well, instincts can still wait until you're all better," Andie said playfully, sticking out his tongue. "You may have to teach me about the whole 'friends' thing. You're the only person I ever bothered to keep around, besides my brother." The fox murred lightly in rhythm with Sabre when arms were wrapped around him.

Relaxing somewhat, he giggled lightly and took mental notes on what friends could do, such as teasing not having to go farther if it was just between friends. That was something he hadn't known up until now. It made him feel a bit... safer and reassured. Less chances of losing him.

Well, that certainly made it a lot easier to figure out the 'do's' and 'dont's' of a friendship. If it was kind of like being brothers-- but... no. That made it just about as difficult. He and Alek... they didn't tease one another. Oh! That's because friends were open with each other like brothers, but not as close as brothers.. that made it all okay, then.

Raising a brow, he looked down at Sabre before putting his lips to the bunny's forehead, more or less to check his temperature rather than anything else as he offered a crooked smile. "You don't seem to have a high temperature or anything... so no fever. That's a good thing." He said softly, nuzzling Sabre in return.

Letting out a soft giggle, the fox shrugged his shoulders lightly as he relaxed against Sabre. "I'm not sure... You're the only person I've met that lived after being shot in the head." Taking another moment to think, he gave a little grin. "... but I think I can safely come to the conclusion that you don't get a fever if you're shot in the head."

Andie giggled at first, his tail swishing about behind him until he opened his eyes and noted that Sabre's ears had drooped. Noting the change in his attitude nearly instantly, he put a hand on the bigger male's cheek and frowned softly, looking down at him. "Sabre.. what's wrong...?" He asked softly, nuzzling lightly against the other as his brows lightly pressed together in worry.

Ears drooping, he rolled off Sabre to lay beside him, putting an arm around him to hold him close, cradle him gently. Reaching up a hand to gently brush it through Sabre's hair, he shook his head, nuzzling against him, trying to comfort him the best he could. What had suddenly happened? They had been sitting there happily and then... this... less than pleasant turn of events.

"No, Sabre... your life hasn't been some fluke..." He whispered softly in a comforting tone, holding the other as close as he could while he continued to pet his hair in a frantic attempt to calm his friend down. "Sabre... please don't say such things... they're... not true," Andie whispered gently. What was suddenly running through the other male's mind? Was it something he had said or done that caused these tears?

"..." Falling silent to hold him, stroke his hair, comfrot him the best he could, he nuzzled his cheek against Sabre's arm, placing a gentle kiss on his shoulder when the other covered his face. Biting his lower lip, he closed his eyes and shoved all thoughts aside... He had to focus on calming Sabre down...

Andie stood in shock at having seen blood pouring from Sabre's eyes, but once Alice's hand was placed on his shoulder, he calmed down. Offering a very weak smile, he walked to the edge of the bed. Kissing his fingers, he then placed them lightly to Sabre's cheek before turning to walk towards the door. Stopping with his hand on the knob, he glanced back and stood in a few long moments of silence. He knew... what Alice said was right, but... where was home? Being with Sabre felt safer than any 'home' he had ever been in...

A black wolf slowly made his way towards the asylum, a small hybrid child in one arm, sleeping against his shoulder. Bright green eyes focused on the asylum as he reached a hand up and placed his cigarette in his mouth, making sure the smoke was directed away from Zakai. Brushing red bangs from his face, the wolf took a drag and pulled the cigarette from his mouth, blowing the smoke out through both his mouth and nose before dropping the cigarette and crushing it beneath his shoe.

Adjusting the small child in his arms, he smiled lightly before turning his eyes back towards the asylum. So... this was where Andie had gone? It had taken him hours to decipher the clues that his brother had left, and it had been quite a strain on his brain. It had been nearly six years since he last saw Andie, and since they had last played any mind games. Looking around for anyone that could be of possible help, Aleksandir began to draw near the doors to the asylum. He had to find his brother... he needed to make sure he was okay.

Inside and unaware that his brother was outside looking for him, with a child no less, he slowly opened the door and stepped out, closing it behind him. Leaning his head back against the door, he closed his golden eyes and tried to hold back his own tears. That could wait... at least until he got outside, out of sight and hearing distance... then he could cry.. but not while he risked the chance of running into anyone in here.
