Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tsuki bowed her head, hands clenching at her sides, gritting her teeth, her tail bristeling. She already knew what those plants could do, she had them in her pouch, more back in the caravan. "I already know what you are saying, but there's a problem. Plants can only go so far. And if I'm so predictable, why'd you ask in the first place?!" She turned on her heel, heading for the door, tears burned her eyes in her anger and hurt. He didn't understand at all, how could he? b*****d. She thought as she walked briskly back to Igor's room, fuming at how he had insulted her.

Tsuki stopped as she saw him arrive next to her, looking away at first as she wiped away her tears. "Try thinking before you speak next time." She snapped, ears swiveling forward, her anger giving way to hurt. "It's kind of hard to find what to be if someone keeps tearing it down." she said in a soft voice, regaining some of her composure. She seemed to consider him for a moment before giving the smallest hint of a smile, though it was forced.

"My reason is the promise I made to myself, to those that are now dead. It kind of does when you watch your sister wither away to nothing and not be able to do anything about it. No one could save her. Nor my mother, or my younger brother." She started to walk again, the tears not leaving despite how she tried to force them too. Her pace had slowed though, did he realize how deep he had cut her?

Narrowing her eyes slightly, she looked at him, frowning. "You made me sound so common, but to my people, I am needed. Important..special even." Closing her eyes for a moment, she straightened, walking up to him. "But...was that really you? The man I met at the door was kind as is the man in front of me, but the man I talked with in there became cruel. You are forgiven, but...what changed you so? Did I do something to upset you?" She asked quietly, fearfully. "I keep annoying you don't I? I'm sorry..." She hardly ever blamed anyone else, believing she was somehow at fault taking the blame instead. "I'm babbling, sorry..." She put her hands over her mouth, blushing slightly as she looked away. I'm such a burden to him and his mistress... She started to walked back towards Igor's room, finally the tears were slowing to a stop.

Tsuki paused in her step again, looking back to him, her eyes sympathetic. Her eyes lowered as he told her that his family had been healers too. Looking up to him, she could see his need to be free in his eye, tempted to touch his cheek just for comfort. Her eyes widened a little as he told her how she hurt him, almost not reacting as he left to go to his room.

Running up to him, she touched his arm to stop him. "Richard..." She wanted to ask him to come with her and her people, but she knew he wouldn't leave his mistress. "I have forgiven you, you didn't know. I'm sorry I snapped. I..." Pausing to think of how to phrase her words, she let her hand fall to her side. "I wish I could help you be free....If..If I invited for you to come with me and my people, would you accept? We move around so much you'd be hidden and yet you could be free. Besides, you might be able to learn whatever it is you must."

Her eyes had dried, yet they still held saddness in them, she hated to feel useless. "My other wish, is to take away peoples pain....like yours..and Igor's.." Backing two steps from him, she bowed her head, dark hair falling in front of an eye. "I'm sorry...how should I change so I don't remind you of things?" She raised her eyes to his, she meant it, she hated to bring people pain like she was him.

Tsuki was about to say something when she saw him look beyond her, turning to see his mistress. Curtseying to her, she stepped back, glancing up as it was offered for her to join him. Looking between Richard and the cake, she took the cake for him, smiling as she nodded. "I'd be happy to accompany him." She knew he wouldn't want to touch the cake, sighing as she still didn't quite understand how he feared it so. "Miss Kat, thank you for letting Igor and I stay here, and for helping us. We thank you so much."

She had to hold down a giggle at Richards reaction to the cake, smiling softly to Miss Kat. "Thank you again. He knows some spattered english, I've been teaching him slowly." Blushing slightly at the wink, she looked over to Richard, sighing as she ended up chuckling anyways. "Richard, it's not like you have to eat it. Come on, I'll need your help with the doors." She managed to see over the top of the cake, a stroke of luck. Walking towards the front door, she remembered the way from the night before, glancing next to her to make sure that Richard remained with her.

Shaking her head, she frowned at him, "Oh get over it! If anything, focus on the fact it has green and blue flowers on it. Or better yet, focus on something else." Her tail flicked in his direction, having to pause at the front doors, looking over at him. "Honestly Richard, you are being pathetic."

Tsuki wanted to toss something at him, but she couldn't while holding the cake, sighing heavily as she shook her head. Following at a slower pace, she was trying not to loose sight of him as he ran ahead. "Hey! You need to show me the way there so don't go too far!" She shouted, her ears laying back in irritation.

Pouting as he came up, she hesitantly placed the cake on the wagon, sitting up next to him. "She didn't seem like a nut to me. I doubt that she will be, though I wouldn't know." She shrugged lightly, smiling softly as she glanced back to the cake.
