Welcome to Gaia! ::

He arched his head back and howled, his prey was cornered. However, as he was about to leap forward and finally close the distance between them something caught his attention. The bit of ... other that had been following close with his prey grew and changed! The beast sniffed toward it growling low and threatening as it watched the movements of the small fiend. Though not true magic it was something he didn't quite understand for a moment his attention was caught.

The anger, need to render, and claim ran through Coal and a dangerous surge of power pulled from his bond. Like a spark of electricity it surged and his small form torn away as he grew into a more humanoid shape. His features weren't as wolf like as Theirn's but held a few traits that were similar. With a strange little snarl he darts forward closing the distance on Nell and leaping trying to tackle her to the ground.

His own small fiend had grown as well the beast didn't quite understand it but could feel the strange tug on the bond from him. It shook him a little but also exhilarated him. Turning his head he catches sight of Trivii moving to flee out of the corner of his eye and darts forward quickly, a powerful killing machine in the guise of a beast. Claws dart out and he grabs at her waist catching the cat girl's shorts with the edges of his sharp claws. Yanking his claw back there is the sound of tearing fabric as her bottoms are torn away like something out of a cheap werewolf porno. Unfortunately, there wasn't a man in a wolf mask at the other end but instead a beast with drooling deadly fangs that were much too real.

Newly transformed having arms and hands was almost strange along with the rage running wild through his mind. Coal fell with the other tumbling down a small hill nearby disappearing into a patch of pushes with Nell, brambles tangling into his newly formed fluffy ears as he was partially substantial at the moment. For a few moments Coal just stays there partially trapped in the brambles thrashing and twisting captured by limbs he didn't quite understand.

A heavy claw embedded in the dirt near Trivii's head, snarling still the beast snapped moving forward. Somewhere within a touch of reason was sparked though as false dawn started over the area. It was hard to fight the primal urges of the creature within, but some part of his rational human mind was still there. Trivii's small plea broke through in his mind somewhat pushing the need for control more forcibly, head tilted back the Beast howled head jutted back toward the air before leaning back over the female feline, breath heavy his head darts down quickly toward her face. Instead of attempting to bite or feed however the great beast closes his eyes and aggressively nuzzles the side of Trivii's face against her shoulder his large muscled furred body resting closer pressing her to the ground though not quite violently for the moment.

Small growls escaped his throat still, the moon not quite gone enough to allow his human form or mind fully back. Just pinning the slender cat girl down, nuzzling in slow time a strange calmness overcoming him that felt much too delicate as if it could break once again into violence at any moment if the wrong movement or word was spoken.

The beast wasn't exactly sure what it found, it's mind was muddled Theirn's will somehow keeping the great beast's rage at bay now that the full of the moon was not bearing down so harshly on them. With the beast however there were only so many ways you could distract it; a creature of primal urgings and desires it's focus was much less on rendering flesh for the moment. The small female grasped onto it, the beast merely tilting it's head, snuffling against the exposed neck. A low keening sound in it's throat as teeth find their way into the rough sinews of it's flesh. Whatever the small female was it realized it was harming it - though not enough to actually worry, the claw marks from Trivii from earlier and now her small fang marks didn't instantly heal as they normally would.


Slowly the world came back into focus for Coal and he froze, things felt strange he had...arms and hands surprisingly enough. He wasn't quite sure how he had gotten to where he was but the brambles were not very comfortable at all. He blinks in startlement over toward Nell hearing her words, what sort of state had he been in he wondered. After a moment a few flashes and memories of the pull of the full moon came back to him and he cleared his throat, moving to stand up as tall as he could half captured in brambles. 'Why yes finding our way out does sound like the best course, Milady. Apologies I am not quite sure what came over me earlier.' He inclines his head toward Nell the best he can a fluffy looking ear getting caught on a bit of plant in the process. Letting a tired sigh out Coal brushes the plant aside before reaching out and offering Nell a hand up.

'As for these thorns, I believe I have something that will work...' he did have a tool belt, for some reason it seemed very familiar but he couldn't quite place why. Taking a pair of decent sized clippers from the belt he started to cut their way out of the brambles. It didn't actually take too long to get them free, putting the tool away he then turns and offers Nell his arm. He could feel the direction of his bonded but the bond still felt...strange to him for some reason. He wasn't quite sure what was going on but headed toward Theirn anyway. At the edge of the clearing Coal stopped dead in his tracks his eyes widening a little as he looked over to the two guardians. Clearing his throat he glances over to Nell and hurriedly turns them away moving off to the side in another direction. 'There are actually some very lovely plants this way...I would love to see them now that I am a bit bigger. I do hope you will accompany me.' He wasn't exactly sure what the two guardians were doing but it made him feel rather squirmy inside and he was almost positive a gentleman would not walk a lady into such a scene.


The beast nudged the smaller cat girl with it's muzzle curling down around her before pulling her forward against it making low growling sounds each time she bites against it's neck. The large creature's ears twitch with each bite, tilting it's head up it gingerly nips at one of Trivii's ears somehow as if knowing that the smaller creature is not quite as tough as it. Adjusts it's stance, brushing more and more of it's fur against the cat girl, the beast's tongue coming out slicking over her ears and then slowly making it's way along her body cleaning the various wounds she had gained through the night. For a time that is how the beast stayed, laying against Trivii keeping her pinned with it's weight not aggressively but surely in no mood to let her wander off. During the hour of false dawn it nuzzled and nudged her with it's large head, licking over wounds by the time that hour was over it had investigated quite possibly every inch of the small cat girl snuffling curiously with it's nose and licking at times rather invasively.

The change came just as quickly earlier in the night, though much less painfully as Theirn's size shifted and changed a few cracks of bone the face of the wolf and the fur retreating. Still partially curled around Trivii he blinks his eyes still the gold of the beast, panting slightly he looks over at the cat girl he shifts some trying to gain some idea of what had happened. Suddenly a few bits of thought came back to him, and he glanced down noting that Trivii wasn't wearing much and he was wearing nothing. He shifts his body uneasily a moment later as he realizes if somehow he did have pants they would have been feeling rather tight around the belt line. Taking stock of his body he lets a breath out, it at least didn't feel like they had ... yeah he hadn't completely ruined any chance of a possible friendship or more. His gaze drifts to the cat girl, intending to apologize or well do something more like a normal human being but some of the wolf was still there and he felt drawn to the female. His breath hitched slightly as he moved feeling fresh bites on his neck that were not completely unpleasant feeling. Sliding a now human hand up through Trivii's hair he focused a moment on the softness of it, moving to brush fingertips over soft ears before quite impulsively leaning in to kiss her deeply. Somewhere in his mind he was almost certain she would hit him, she did after all have ever right to but he couldn't have stopped himself if he wanted to and truthfully right now he didn't want to.

There was a fierceness and need in him that Trivii seemed to share, Theirn's mind had returned fully though now it was lost in a haze of desires and needs that fogged over and muddled together into blissful sensations fueled by urgency. Even with the touch of urgency in his movements and responses it wasn't for more than an hour into the dawn that he was able to relax back enough to take a shuddering breath and just pulling the beauty against his body. He wasn't even sure he could have stopped himself with Trivii responding as she had and let his instincts take over not stopping until he was certain they were both sated. Shifting his arms some he made sure to keep her lifted off the ground, a satisfied warmth ran through his veins, but now as his body relaxed some he could feel some of the wounds that hadn't healed when he shifted. A low rumble goes through his chest and he nuzzles against Trivii's ears, despite being in human form still having some more animalistic habits; pausing to move his hand to brush her neck over a bite mark he'd left, human teeth marks against her milky flesh. "...so uhm, a shower and breakfast?" Clears his throat, his amber coloured eyes raising to Trivii's ... his brow wrinkles after a moment as he realizes something felt different as well, Coal? - sending out a slight probing thought toward the small wisp of darkness blinks once before looking over the area. "Ah...we should find where the fiends went too," murmurs with a touch of embarrassment at the last wondering where the two had gotten off to and how much they had actually seen. He wasn't worried that Coal was hurt or in danger as he didn't feel any distress from his little charge.


Coal sat curled on a large rock near a stream not too far away but far enough that the, 'sounds' Theirn and Trivii had been making were not able to be heard. He had a carefully stoic expression on his face as he looked over some of the nearby plants and was doing his best to pretend that his guardian did not exist. The little nature walk had ended up needing to go on a bit longer so he had started telling Nell the few things he'd picked up from Theirn's sister Yaxha when she'd visited describing the interesting bits of herbalism he could remember. Already they had gone over the uses for a few different flowers, he had started with the flowers considering that Nell may find them more appealing to look at. His attention was currently drawn to a fern however, 'these are Lady Ferns, very useful for easing the pain of minor cuts, stings and burns...' the fiend pauses a moment as he hears the mental inquiry from his guardian. For a moment he just sits very still almost stubbornly refusing to answer his guardian. The infectious rage luckily was gone but the emotions and strange feelings he'd felt for a few moments after that had caused him to do his best to shut down his link to the werewolf as much as possible.

After a few moments he clears his throat and glances to Nell, 'It seems our guardians may be ... more of sound mind now...' the young fiend adjusts his dress shirt sending a few thoughts back to Theirn a touch of disapproval and haughtiness in Coal's mind voice, 'you are done with your shameless display now I take it?'

Theirn freezes a few moments, mainly because he'd never heard Coal speak so directly to him before. Wrinkling his brow he tilts his head kissing against Trivii's hair trying to remember the night previous more. Some vague memory of the little fiend growing in size but he couldn't really place real features on the other, he speaks in a low voice to the beauty in his lap, "it seems...Coal has grown up." A smirk slides over his features, "he sounds sassy too." Makes an amused sound and carefully balancing Trivii in his arms pulls himself up to his feet pulling the cat girl close to his chest. "Mmm, lets get back to the cabin" feeling some blood start to roll down his shoulder he glances over seeing a bit of crimson, "magic? You stabbed me with a magic blade?" He doesn't sound upset over it just thoughtful turning to walk back toward the cabin with Trivii in his arms.The stab wound from her dagger infused with her magic and the small bite marks over his neck were still visible any other damage from the night had completely healed with his change. "I'm going to ask Coal to bring Nell a bit behind us - so I can find some pants." His voice was calm and frankly the werewolf just felt really good for the moment. 'Coal, why don't you and Nell come to the cabin in a few minutes?'

Coal sends a mental huff of sorts to his guardian, 'very well, just make sure you are presentable.' Sighing a little Coal looks over to Nell focusing his next thoughts toward her, 'it seems our guardians are making themselves presentable - would you accompany me back to the cabin?'

Theirn made sure to get them all back to the house, taking the bathroom over with Trivii for a bit of time to make use of the shower and steal her company away with a little privacy for just a little longer. They didn't know each other all that well yet but already Theirn was finding himself drawn to the beauty quite intensely. After the shower things were pretty normal, he saw to getting Trivii some clothing...she had been right and ended up borrowing a few things from him which honestly Theirn didn't mind it meant that he'd have more of a reason to be sure to meet up with her again.


After Theirn's word of warning to him Coal made sure to keep Nell back with him a bit longer. Snorting lightly as Nell mentioned her guardian's embarrassment over the biting. He didn't know exactly what was going on but he was certain that Theirn should be well ashamed of himself for not having more modesty. 'Well we will give them some time,' considers a moment looking over the various plants. 'Would you like to pick some to take back with us? Medical and magical uses aside they are all rather pretty...' he clears his throat a little his gaze drifting to Nell as he askes. After helping Nell with some flowers Coal held his arm out for the shiny fiend and started off back toward the cabin.



The shower didn't last as long as Theirn would have liked, a nagging feeling from Coal disrupted him almost immediately once the two fiends arrived back at the cabin. Chuckling softly to himself more than anyone he leans forward pulling Trivii against him under the water a moment. "Mmm, seems we won't have much longer alone..." pauses as if considering something. "I suspect these marks you left are going to stay quite a while," takes a slow breath and more softly adds, "though when they start to fade you are more than welcome to come and renew them."

Feeling in high spirits Theirn made sure that Trivii had clothing and wasn't actually hurt anywhere. Breakfast came next, between scrabbling eggs Theirn kept an eye on Coal trying to adjust to the fiend's change. The small dark coloured sprite was one thing but the fully able to speak humanoid appearance was more than a bit distracting.


For his part Coal did his best to keep Nell entertained while Theirn and Trivii finished making themselves presentable. He had her help him set the flowers up in a vase before offering to show her the few open rooms in the cabin that weren't being taken up by their guardians and that she hadn't seen. Once Theirn and Trivii emerged from Theirn's bedroom (where the master bath also happened to be located) Coal made sure to send a slight feel of disappointment to his guardian after all Theirn shouldn't be allowed to forget that he was in trouble. Narrowing his eyes toward Theirn he gave a slightly huffy sound.


Setting a plate on the table in front of Trivii Theirn narrowed his eyes toward the young fiend a touch of amusement in his expression. Part of him wondered if he had been so judgemental as a child. 'I think you are just bored, I'll get you something to keep you busy...'.


Unsure what his guardian could be up to now, Coal crawled forward curiously watching as a drawer from the kitchen was pulled out fully from the counter and set down in front of him. The rather grumpy things he was considering telling THeirn dissipated as he saw the wonderful variety o odds and ends. His eyes glitter a little with a smile for a brief moment, 'this will be sufficient...thank you.'


"Anything you want out of there you are free to...just don't start a fire or something," Theirn grins fully looking to the Fiend before moving to sit at the table hoping that the junk drawer would give Coal enough entertainment for the time being and he'd be able to enjoy the other company without being glared at.

After food was over and both the fiends were settled in, Theirn did his best to coax Trivii into napping with him. Taking the cat girl with him for a nice long nap that ended up taking up most the day ... all in all for a first date it wasn't so bad.
