"Darkness..." Jinx sits and rubs her head thoughtfully. "Does that mean I get to hide behind trees and jump out at little children?" She almost seems to perk at the thought. "Or hate the light, or-...." The rest of it seems to sink in, and she grows more somber. "Rare?" So there weren't many more like her. She looks up to Tween, noting that look in her eyes. Growing a little sad, herself, she shifts her weight from one paw to the other.
"Are there more like Kyuu...?"

Tween's eyes darken a bit. "More or less, you can do some of those things with some practice and...yes...there are more like Kyuu-kun..."
Kyuutou's eyes widen after hearing what 'element' that she was. His heart sank a little to hear that she was seemily the only one of her kind.
"I'm sorry..." He whispers.
"Don't be Kyuu-kun. It is not your or her fault."

Jinx nods to Tween, then glances over to Kyuu. She shakes her head gently. "Don't worry. It's fine. If I'm here, there have to be more, right? Somewhere..." And even if not, how much does it really matter? She stares at him long. Even if the two of them aren't exactly the same, they had to share something. They even looked the same, aside from colors and... a few other things... The muscles in her back twitched as her leathery wings drooped. Eyes owlish, she ducks her head and stares up, trying to get a good look. What in the world....?

"Yeah...! We'll find more of your kind don't worry~" He smiles happily after all the tension not to long ago.
Tween's eyes widened in surprise and then narrowed in happiness. "Aww~It seems that I forgot to mention~! You wanna know why it was easy for me to tell...? Its because of those bat like wings you got there~" With a cat-like smile gracing her face.
Kyuutou's eyes widen when he realizes that Jinx did have wings. It seems that he is blind to those kind of things. Kyuutou felt so stupid at that moment.
Tween notices that Kyuu-kun realized it. "Don't beat yourself up, Kyuu-kun. You have that knack of being blind to those kind of things~" She purrs happily with her tail swaying lightly.

Jinx nods with an uncertain grin, prying her eyes reluctantly away from the two protrusions on her back.
Kyuu really was that kind of guy, not flighty... he just couldn't stay down for too long. Good way to be, but she'd never tell him that. Might harass him about it later. Though she couldn't fault him for something she hadn't noticed, either. "So... what do we do? Where do we start? Did we come from here?"

Tween chuckles lightly. "Well...first things first...search for clues. The only place that has any clues what so ever is...at the market." She smiles craftily.
Kyuutou tilts his head to the side, who is really confused. "How is the market connected to us?"
"I do not know how, but call it a...woman's intution, I suppose~but for where you come from...you have to find out for yourselves..." She purrs softly.

Jinx frowns thoughtfully, then glances up at Kyuu with a light nod. "She's right. It's the first thing I can remember. The - the only thing I can really remember. Whatever's around there, we at least ought to look." She pauses. She should, at least. "Kyuu-.... whatever we are and wherever we're from... you have a home here..."

Kyuu just stares at Jinx, a female he had met only a few hours ago. "...thank you...Jinx. I promise with my heart that I will help you find your kind, so that you can have a home." He smiles gently.
Tween smiles happily. "Heh...as much as I want to go with you. I can't step foot in that market. Also...it seem that Kyuu-kun has become quite the prince~" She laughs half-heartedly.
Kyuutou blushes suddenly at Tween's comment as his ears wilts in slight embrassment. "...um..."
"I wish you both the best of luck on your quest and you, Jinx are welcome to come back. For this place is your home...at least till you find your real home"

Jinx's head tilts. Why can't Tween go to the market? Hmm, probably impolite to ask. She offers Kyuu a smile. "Thank you. And thank you, too, Tween. I won't forget that." Her eyes turn to the door. Time to go, then? Maybe. She still felt odd, pulling Kyuu from his home, and the woman who'd cared for him. "Kyuu, you're sure...?"

"It's alright, Jinx. I made a promise to you and I will not break it."
"He's not weak, you know. He actually knows a few tricks of his element to help you." She smiles cunningly.
Kyuutou rubs the back of his head gingerly at Tween giving him praises.
"Are you gonna leave or not?" She laughs whole-heartedly.
"Thanks Tween for everything...I'll come back; don't you worry." He grins with his whole heart.

"Thank you, Tween." With another nod, Jinx turns and headed for the door. She pauses just outside to wait for Kyuu, certain he might want a little more time with his friend. What does it all mean? What were they even looking for? But Tween had been right - they wouldn't find a thing sitting around waiting. And why was Kyuu so insistent on helping? Maybe it really was just his way. She'd have to see to it that he arrived back safely at the end of it all.

"Ah, don't worry about it, both of you." She gets up from her spot and hugs Kyuutou like a mother would her child and whispers in his ear. "You better come back...or else..." The last part was strained, but conveyed her point.
Kyuutou wanted to cry so badly when Tween strained herself to say those last words to him, but he willed himself not to. "I promise...I will come back..." He licks her cheek as she lets go of him to follow Jinx out the door and he didn't look back.
"Come back you hear?!?" She laughs with all her might before going back inside her hut to rest.
'I will come back...' Kyuu thought to himself. He then smiles a little.

Jinx glances at him as he comes out of the hut. She smiles softly. "So... what did she mean, the tricks of your element?" Rising, she started slowly back toward the market.

He was slightly caught off guard with that question, but he knew that sooner or later. She would ask it, but didn't expect it to be so soon. "Well...Tween taught me how to use my natural element as a weapon. Which means I can bend the earth at will to protect myself.
