The boy's tail tapped idly against the ground, swishing in the grass as he smiled up at the girl. He liked HER. 'Nea knew all kinds of things and likely hated having to 'play nice' just as much as he did. "Hi, Nea," he said softly, sitting up and nodding to her politely.
There were few that he would go out of his way to be nice to... Aranea was one of them.

She lowered herself onto the ground next to him, wriggling her toes in the grass. The blades tickled her feet a little.
'What are you doing out here?' she asked, leaning her chin on two of her hands, elbows on her knees.

"Wrecking tree," he said simply, pointing to the barkless section with a proud grin. "Wanted to scratch kifain, but he fast." He sat up then, looking to Aranea as his tail swished behind him idly. "Stupid rainbows." The scowl reappeared then as he caught sight of a reddish purple lock of hair that fell over his shoulder. This stuff had BETTER wash out soon...

She let out a tiny giggle, then stifled it, making her face look solemn again;
'Yes you will look better once that dye stuff has gone.' she mused. There was probably a herbal wash she could come up with that would help get rid of it. She didnt just make poisons - there was this small girly side of her that had made scents, bath oils and shampoos with her alchemical knowledge. But this was something she kept completely to herself.
'Are you out here to avoid the girl?' she asked, looking at him shrewdly.

"Stupid girl," he answered, with as much loathing as he'd used to speak of the rainbows. While he didn't really MIND the girl herself, he'd hated having to be a simpering little idiot at the ball to get her attention and get her to follow him. That, in his mind, was just as bad as the costume Youko had made for him. He kicked out one foot, claws scuffing at the ground as his ears pinned back against his head. "Girls stink." As if realising a moment too late who he was talking to, Feles lifted his gaze to her then, adding quickly. "Cept 'Nea. Nea doesn't stink."

She laughed;
'Oh I'm so pleased that I dont 'stink', she leaned closer to him, and touched the end of his nose quickly, before moving away again. She guessed that this stance against the opposite sex was something to do with age. She thought males were loud and smelly when she was younger as she recalled. Now...well it wasnt something to dwell on around Feles. She nodded;
'Its hard to keep up a 'good' facade around the girl,' she agreed.
'I had to leave the room.'

Sticking out his tongue slightly, Feles showed just what he thought about having to be 'good'. "Had to do that at dance. Smile, be nice, act silly..." Feles put on the 'Oh-I'm-so-cute' look that he'd perfected just for the Masquerade ball, then snarled a moment later. "Liked the dogs, though..." he added, remembering the wolves that had come to assist them. Now THEY were the highlight of the night for him.

She laughed again, smiling a little. Feles had a knack for making her smile; maybe it was weak of her, but she liked his company. She nodded;
'I imagine you would. They give off such a feeling of power. Their presence serves to make us stronger.' her eyes glinted.
'I was lucky...I only had to observe during the Ball. The nearness of so much 'good' was hard to bear though.'

"Lucky." The scowl returned as the cat crossed his arms over his chest and seemed to pout. "Had to smile and be nice... was fun to see them acting drugged." He grinned then, moving and hugging Aranea. "Nea did good with drug." A typical cat, for hte most part. Feles didn't MIND contact... he just wanted it on HIS terms, not the terms of his idiot Kithain who wanted to snuggle him constantly.

The spider fey stiffened slightly when Feles hugged her, but it was a mere second and then she returned it, placing two hands on his back lightly. His fur tickled where it touched her skin, and she smiled yet again.
'And you did well too - I am proud of you and I am sure the Majestrix is too.' she relaxed her hold, letting her arms go loose so that he could pull away if he wished.

That made Feles beam, his chest puffing slightly with pride. He did well! And if even the Majestrix knew, then he'd REALLY done well. "Thanks..." he whispered, moving back to lay in the grass again, his tail tapping back and forth idly. "Didn't want to screw up."

'Why would you think you would?' she inquired softly, touching the ground to see whether it was cold or damp before reclining herself on the grass. She propped her head up, resting it on her hand, her elbows being tickled by the grass. She pulled up blades, tugging each on from the soil before letting it go again.

Shrugging, Feles looked down at himself then at Aranea. "Fes still small. Can't do lots yet." As if that explained it all. Youko coddled him, treating him as if he were an infant. He knew he could do so much more, but his body wasn't quite keeping up with him yet.

'But if you were older, and bigger then it wouldnt have worked. Your size helped with the mission. She probably wouldnt have beeen half as easy to lure away if you weren't similar in size to her.' she looked at him, her mouth quirking up in a faint smile.
'You can do enough. Don't let anyone put you down - or they will answer to me,' and she bared her white teeth, flexing her fingers, her talon-like nails glinting a little.

Grinning, Feles nodded. 'Nea had a point... the reason the girl had gone with him was because she wanted to play. And he HAD been around her size, which is why no one suspected him. No doubt, the girl's mother would have taken note if her daughter had been talking to an adult and gone off with them...
"Okay, 'Nea," he said, tail waving slightly before draping across his lap. "But when Fes bigger, I help you with stuff."
