She was not yelling for help. Hell. No. Briefly whining, she plopped down on her stomach and folded her paws. It was getting dark.... extending her glow further so that she could see more she glared at the opening at the top. Hell. This was a shitty day...
Squirming slightly, the vixen glanced down when she felt crawling. Spiders weren't scary. Cockroaches weren't scary. But centipedes? .....
"EEEEEEE!" Yes. the bold, vicious mouthed Aoi let out a loud scream, jerking away from the bug and hitting her head on a bulging root that was poking out. Her glow jerked back to her form as she blacked out, landing with a soft "thump".
Oh if Lavi was here...

Bane jerked out of his relaxing doze, the sound of a high-pitch squeal penetrating deep into his skull. He stared wildly out into the mist-ladened air. It sun was still in the process of setting, tinging the mist with blood red and blinding gold and making it hard to see.
He'd never heard any of the animals on this island make that sound, so.....Aoi? And it had definetly sounded like it was coming from the direction he'd heard to land moving. Sighing, the male heaved himself upright and threw himself from the branch, pumping his wings and flying over to investigate.- SKIP - Bane landed, being extra careful so as not to disturb his burden. He'd found Aoi completely blacked out in the bottom of a pit keep enough and with steep enough sides that it would have taken her quite awhile to get out of it. He hadn't bothered waking her, just lightly scooping her into his paws and flapping his wings furiously to get lift-off without having to jump for it. Deities, his wings were tired...
He looked down at the vixen, laying on the ground where he'd set her. Looked like she got a nasty bump to the head since he'd left, which meant she'd probably be pissed with him... Bane sighed and settled on the ground. He'd watch and wait. The sun was almost completely gone, and the sky would remain tinged in pinks and purples for a bit yet after it vanished from the horizon. If Aoi didn't wake up by the time the first stars showed up, he'd try to make something to put on her head and keep her warm.

With a light groan, Aoi's eyes flickered opened. Her head hurt, s**t. Blearily looking around, her eyes fell upon a dark brown form. Warmth, she was cold where she was, but that figure was warm. Squirming close and pressing her side into the mass, then grumbled:
"If this is Bane, don't get any stupid ideas. I'm cold."
Ha. She found Bane. Technically he found her.. Wait. Wasn't she supposed to be in a hole?

"And if this wasn't Bane, I wonder just what you'd be snuggling into."
He chuckled, a deep rumbling sound, then turned his attention back to the scenery. No predators besides himself lived on this island since just himself was plenty, but it never hurt to keep an eye on the weather. Bane always thought his island was quite lovely, especially lit with the colors of sunset.

Swatting at the 'Daeva, she opened one eye, scowling. "Stupid brat." Once more closing her eyes, her tail flicked over to curl around her, her glow growing dim.
....
"My head hurts. I blame you. This is your fault." Pause. "Next time, don't abandon me in some strange island with random booby traps." Next time? Whatever, ignore that, he better. She was just tired, and her head hurt, what she was saying was garble.
...
Yea.

Bane rolled his eyes, which Aoi couldn't see.
If she'd stayed out of the cherry grove like he'd told her to, she wouldn't have fallen down that hole in the first place. No one part of the island was really more unstable than the others, but as a rule the outer edges were more likely to crumble in some way. The cherry orchard was one of the closest to the edge, along with the oranges and some of the flowering trees.
Not that he'd been thinking of that when he told Aoi to stay away, but he could always use it when she was properly awake.
No use arguing with her though, and Bane was too mellow at the moment to want to start up their verbal swordplay. He left it at:
"Brat is a word for a child or someone significantly younger. Pick something more age appropriate for future insults."

Perhaps she was feeling playful, huffing in response. "I didn't realize I was speaking to an adult. I was under the impression you were a kit." Despite this, she rested her head onto his side, deciding if he was sticking nearby he might as well be her pillow, be useful. Opening one eye before she decided to sleep, she regarded him blearily, huffing once more.
"If a green and white vixen wanders onto the island before I wake up, don't ditch her. Freya has no sense of direction." With this, she closed her eyes and began to drift to sleep.

"If I was a kit you'd still be in that hole," Bane mumbled, though Aoi had already slipped into the realm of sleep and couldn't hear, "and you'd be out a pillow."
He blinked pink eyes, looking down at the female and wondering how the heck he'd gotten into all this again. And the possibility of more visitors? Seriously, he was lodging a complaint with someone, just as soon as he could figure out who...
Without really meaning to Bane slipped into a light doze, lost in his thoughts.
((Wanna do a time skip?))

- Time Skip -
Warmth, she felt warmth beside her. She couldn't remember the last time she felt so warm, or felt something so soft beside her. She nuzzled into the warmth, purring in her throat. Ah, it was nice...
Wait.
WAIT.
Her eyes flicked open, mouth muttering obscenities as she leapt from Bane, bristled. Stupid 'Daeva, not like she really gave a s**t what he thought. When did she fall asleep next to him? Hrn. Touching her sore head, she winced slightly. "Ow ow ow." Great. Now she had a bump the size of a crater. Dammit.

"'Bout time."
Bane stood up, rolling his neck and stretching stiff joints, his body making creaking and popping sounds. He wasn't quite used to sleeping on hard ground, prefering either trees or the few nesting spots he had around the island.
"You mumble a lot when you sleep. Drool too," he remarked, glancing at Aoi with an entirely serious expression, then looked back out over the land. Sunrise was just as pretty as sunset, in his opinion.

"I do not." She scuffed back, flicking her tail dismissively at him before looking up at the sky. Her glow dimmed slightly, eyes widening. "I don't get to see the sunrise much these days." She mused quietly, tail flicking.
Her ear flicked once, head jerking up and going stiff. Oh. Well. That changed things. Quickly, she scurried away from Bane, leaping onto a rock and flattening her ears against her head. Oh. Well.
If she had only known she was there before. An annoyed green vixen scowled at Aoi from the little branch she was in, tail roughly swinging side to side. Oh ho! So this was what Aoi was doing instead of meeting up with her?! Unfair!
"Hmpf. Your little boyfriend and you seemed comfy." Was that jealousy in her voice? Maybe. She didn't like the idea of her best friend being taken from her. "I swam out all the way over here and looked for you while you were busy getting cozy." Another scowl and huff added, Freya leapt from the tree, landing on all fours with a grimace.

Bane rolled his eyes. One apparently thought he was young, the other thought he was height-challenged. Between the nicknames and adjectives, these two were making him out to be a kit...
"I'd be just as happy if you guys would quit swimming here. Seriously, that's kinda the reason I live on an island." He eye-balled the green and white vixen, then glanced at Aoi.
Yea, he soooo didn't want to get involved in the snipes already flying around.
"Well if that's all, I'm gonna go," he said, lifting a paw in preparation to walk away.

For a second she considered waving good-bye to Bane, however she stopped. Between choosing a brat and a furious skittle she was more inclined to choose the brat. Besides, she was lying if she said she didn't want to follow Bane, though she also choose to lie. Glancing back at Freya, the vixen stuck her tongue out, tail flicking.
"Grumpy butt." She snipped before hopping away and to Bane, clambering right to his side and jabbing him lightly with her nose. "Take me with you. She's a demon when angry."
Horrified, Freya's fur stood on end. Wait. Aoi was her best friend, what the hell?! Sneering at both the man and Aoi, she thumped her tail angrily agains't the ground. "Oh, well." Her eyes narrowed right at Bane, jerking her head to the side.
"Like I care."
....
Oh she did.
And to hell was she going to let this happen for to long.

Bane sighed deeply through his nose and closed his eyes. He felt the start of a headache.
"So make her unangry or get her off my island," he said, a touch of exasperation coloring his tone. "I don't really want a demon running loose to wreck havoc anymore than you want one following you around."
Briefly he considered a change in address. Maybe a really tall moutain that you could only reach by flying. He could even get a mist effect from the clouds if he went high enough, though the change of scenery and climate would take so long to get used to.
Nah, better just to dump the trouble-makers off his island. Maybe Aoi could stay if she didn't fall into another pit or cause more trouble, but the green female practically radiated trouble.

A low sigh escaped her, exasperated beyond belief. Flicking her tail in a dismissive fashion, she tilted her head back to view Freya.
"If you don't care so much, then you should leave." Her irritation was rare when directed at Freya, but right now it was boiling in the depths of her stomach, tail twitching. Still, Freya and her had been friends since kits. Approaching the vixen, she thumped her with her tail, roughly, and nipped her friends ear.
"Stop being a brat, I'll spend next week with you, promise."
That wasn't good enough. Why would Aoi prefer to spend time with this man? Why? Why wouldn't she go home with her? Hell, Freya wasn't the type to become this.... upset over something and yet...
Yet she didn't approve. Scowling, her tail flicked once, moving away from Aoi. "It's fine, spend your time with that thing over there." She spat out the word "thing" with disdain, beginning to pad off. "I can see myself out, don't bother."
