Dusk just held her quietly, trying to find the words to say. If he said too much, it'd only make things worse. He coughs gently, sighing a little. That again...He clears his throat and blinks when she kisses his chin, looking down at her. His brows furrow. He wanted to tell her, be honest with her but..it'd end up hurting her twice. He reaches up to stroke her cheek gently with the back of his hand. He opens his mouth to speak then looks as he finally notices Twilight had walked over, the boy's fox ears back against his head, flat as he looks up at him with a slightly scared expression. "...it...it's those bad men...the hunters...right...?" Dusk blinks and nods slowly, watching Twilight. "...yes..."

Reynee's eyes closed again when she felt his hand on her cheek, purring softly and resting her head against Dusk's chest again. All her thoughts were flying out the window behind him at the mere touch, moving one hand through his hair to rub gently at the back of Dusk's neck. One black ears flicked at Twilight's voice, her eyes snapping open after his words finally registered in Reynee's floating mind. "What? Hunters? What hunters?" Reynee stared up at Dusk with wide, blue eyes, ears perked and tail bristled. This caused her hold on him to go from gentle to protective, chewing at her lip nervously. Why would someone be hunting them?

Dusk holds her closely as she purrs, just enjoying that she had calmed. He whinces when she tightened her grip on him. He sighs gently, looking to her. "..shh...shh..." He leans to kiss her softly. He lets go of her, moving from her arms and picking Twilight up, putting him in the bed gently and moving to take Reynee's hand, moving to leave the orphanage. "Twilight, stay, I'll come back in a little bit" He swallows, walking quickly, holding her hand tightly. He needed a safe place to tell her.

"Don't you tell me to shush, this is seri--" The kiss cut her off in the middle of the word, closing her eyes and leaning in to gently return the kiss. God, he was going to use this against her in the future wasn't he? It wasn't that bad actually, but kissing her when she was in the middle of worrying over him and right after just telling her to shush? The cat frowned and leaned back against the wall after she was let go, hugging her arms and watching Dusk sadly. Hunters?
Reynee fell silent, looking up at Dusk sadly when he led her out of the orphanage and following in complete silence. The purring had stopped, showing how displeased she was to find out that one reason he would leave was because of hunters. Honestly, what kind of hunter would go after him? ...Well...Dusk did say that, until she started hanging around him, his magic always screwed things up...so it was inevitable for him to have enemies. Was that the case? The cat caught a glimpse of the dying tree as they walked, stopping there and squeezing Dusk's hand gently. "Is...here good?"

Dusk nuzzles her when he broke the kiss, trying to settle her down. He squeezes her hand every now and then as he walks. He blinks as she stops, looking back at her then to the tree slowly. He swallows, glancing to her and nods, walking in the clearing with the tree and pulls out a pouch, letting go of her hand and starts to line the clearing with a white powder, moving back to the middle of the clearing and pauses, collecting his thoughts.
Dusk opens his mouth to say the spell word before chewing his lip, glancing to Reynee and reaching to take her hand again, taking a breath and muttering the word under his breath, a light flaring and making a dome shape over them, including the tree. It pulses once then disappears. Dusk glances around then back to her. "...you...might want to sit down..." He sighs, looking down and rubbing the back of his neck, sitting indian style, fiddling with his robes and such just for the sake of it.

Reynee blinked, watching Dusk curiously and just...standing there. It felt kind of uncomfortable not having Dusk's arms around her, before she wouldn't have cared...but now? It felt so cold without him even with the current weather! The cat blinked and stared up at the light, letting out a curious murr at the sight as it faded away. Interesting.
"...you...might want to sit down..."
The cat blinked again and looked down at Dusk, walking over to sit down beside him on her knees and watching him quietly. Why would she need to sit? Was whatever he wanted to tell her that long? Or was it so horrible she'd just need to sit down? "...Dusk...?"

Dusk sighs, reaching and taking her hands quietly, squeezing them and rubbing the backs with his thumbs. "...they aren't really..hunters per say but...they are looking for me..." He chews his lip quietly. "when...I was young, I got left on my own pretty early and kinda just wandered around a bit...this group of people found me and they claim I have some..strange power but I've never discovered it, I can do things every mage can pretty much..." He reaches up to run a hand through his hair. "anyways, they kinda started to train me a little and in the end, it wasn't long before the training got dangerous and I overheard what they wanted to do, it was so horrible I freaked and ran away...now, because I know what they want to do and because they want this strange power I have, they are looking for me and aren't afraid to hurt people to get to me...." He pauses then glances to her, watching her quietly. He knew if they found out he...had these odd feelings for her, they'd use her against him and he...he'd never forgive himself if they hurt her! He watches her quietly, reaching to brush hair back behind her ear gently. "...if I stay long, in one place..." Dusk trailed off, looking down and closing his eyes.

The cat sat there silently and stared at their hands, letting every word soak in as Dusk spoke them. How long had he been alone? Was that why he slept outside all the time? And why he thought he was unwelcomed? Reynee chewed nervously at the inside of her cheek, turning her gaze from their hands to Dusk's face when he finished speaking. That was why he was afraid she would get hurt?
"...Oh...Dusk..." Reynee murmured, leaning over and leaving a soft kiss on his temple. She knew what he wasn't saying now with that unfinished sentence, picking up their hands and kissing Dusk's knuckles. "They'll have a lot of people to go through to get to you though...if you stay you can be safe! My mother's quite strong, even though she doesn't let it show most of the time...and prefers nobody know about it...but...that's why you're afraid that if you stayed I'd get hurt?"

Dusk shook his head quickly. "No, I don't want to get other people involved, it's my fault and I don't want to involve anyone else. I would have rather had you not know so if they questioned you, you didn't have to lie.." he looks down and sighs. "I don't want someone else to fight my battles...even if I am useless, I don't want to burden other people with my problems..." Least of all Reynee..how could he ever forgive herself if she was hurt because of him?? He stands, walking to the tree and putting a hand on it, leaning against it. His eyes close he sighs, memories flooding his mind again, chewing his lip. He was a curse, he didn't deserve to be happy or have a place in life...He needed to just leave but..he couldnt, she was holding him there in this strange place.

"But Dusk! That's not fair! What if we want to help you?" Eight would be glad to if Reynee asked her and explained to her what was going on, she just knew it...but Dusk really wasn't being fair. The more help he got the better! Reynee blinked and watched him stand up, soon following him to the tree and rubbing at his back with one hand. "You're not useless.." She whispered lovingly in his ear, chewing at her lip and closing her eyes. You just make yourself think that, and don't you dare say 'oh well I mess up my spells all the time!' Because I have only seen it once, so how do I know you're not lying to me about that, hm?" Reynee hugged Dusk gently and buried her face into his neck, one hand trailing up and down along the area of his spine while the other was lost in his hair.
"How's that feel? Any comfort at all?"

Dusk opened his mouth to protest but she kept speaking, just staring down at the roots of the tree as he heard her walk over. He chews his lip as he rubs his back. He swallows with a tiny shiver than ran down his spine, trying to ignore the butterflies in his stomach again. "...but if your mother gets hurt, it'll hurt you too..." He took a shakey breath as she hugged him from behind and closes his eyes as he feels her face press into his neck. It happened before he even realized it, the tree seemed to pull the magic out of him before he could stop it. He tenses, going still and staring forward until he felt dizzy again. He blinks, looking up in surprise at the tree trunk then looks slowly towards the branches, giving a soft gasp. The leaves, which had been dry and slightly dead looking when they arrived, were a vibrant green again. The fruits and blossoms had grown again and it was like it hadn't been dying at all. He stares at it, blinking slowly and glances slowly to Reynee.

Reynee paused, closing her eyes and sighing. "Well...yes...but still, it isn't fair." She murmured, burying her face as deep as humanly possible into Dusk's neck and sighing softly. Why were boys so stubborn? It was so annoying sometimes! But then...some girls were the same way. The cat whimpered softly and slipped under Dusk's arm so she was hugging him from the front, opening her eyes and blinking once when she heard him gasp. What? Were the men he mentioned here? ...No...it wasn't a gasp of fear, it was soft and gentle. Reynee let out a curious purr, tilting her head as Dusk looked down at her before tilting her head back to look up at the tree. Dusk would hear a gasp much like his own from Reynee, staring up at the living tree with a look of awe. It was alive again!
"Oh Dusk! You brought it back! You're incredible!" Reynee cried, throwing her arms around his neck and capturing his lips in a deep kiss.

Dusk swallowed a sound as her face nuzzled at his neck even move, shivering gently. He blinks as she slips around under his arms, looking down at her again. She was so...beautiful. He never wanted to see her cry and he knew if...he stayed, she would for sure. But then, she was making it quite clear if he left, she would cry as well. What was he supposed to do? He just wanted to make her happy. He did? He blinks a little as all of this sunk in, gulping gently.
Dusk watches her look up at the tree, fingers moving to thread through her hair. He loved the feel of her hair, it was so soft. He gently rubs her cheek with the back of his fingers, smiling slowly as gasps. It was so...cute...He blinks at her words then smiles again. "...no, you did Reynee..." He starts slightly as he was kissed, his eyelids fluttering closed quickly as he leans into it, hand sliding from the tree to wrap around her waist, the other one gently resting on her neck, thumb stroking at the skin softly. It really was her, something about her made something inside him click and his magic...worked.

The cat shook her head at Dusk's correction, still not thinking she had anything to do with Dusk's success. Reynee purred happily at the feeling of Dusk's hand against her neck, and his lips against hers, it was so warm, soft and gentle...it was perfect. Reynee's purring increased with every moment they kissed, eventually moving her foot to try and get away from the tree.
That had to be the biggest mistake Reynee had made all day.
Her foot got stuck under a root that had grown up above the ground and she winced inwardly, tugging at her leg and finally getting it free...but despite her quick reflexes Reynee still fell, her eyes snapping open as she grabbed onto Dusk to try and gain her balance back. But it was no use, the slip sent both the cat and the mage to the ground...not that Reynee was about to let their kiss break up. Ow...this...kind of hurt.

Dusk sighs into the kiss as he continues to stroke Reynee's neck. He enjoyed kissing her, it was nice and warm and made his toes tingle. He gently draws her closer, sighing contently into the kiss. The hand on her back slowly rubbed the small of her back as he drew her closer. He blinks a little as she started to step away from the tree, eyes opening and glancing down as her foot got stuck. He was about to pull back and help her when she did it herself. His eyes go wide when she tugs her leg free, it almost kneed him in a very...sensitive spot. He made a soft nosie as she lost her balance and grabbed onto him, falling with her. It was only by instict that he turned himself so she landed ontop of him instead off letting her hit the ground and hurt her tail or something like that. He blinks quietly, slowly looking up at Reynee and watching her with a soft blush. She was...ontop of him....
