Twilight whimpers and nuzzles against Reynee. "...Reynee...bring Dusk back.." Even he could see their Dusk wasn't there. He holds onto his tail as he was set down, ears back as he watches the cat girl kneel in front of the mage. Dusk was staring forward at the tree still as the rain slowed to a drizzel. He blinks up at Reynee when she lifts his chin, his eyes clouded but slowly clearing as he watches her. His face was wet but from what it was unknown, the rain mingling with the tears that had fallen. The mage watches Reynee slowly and silently for a moment before making a small nosie as he fought to push back his memories. A shaking hand reaches up to touch the mark on her cheek, brows coming together in some unknown emotion to him. He wanted to scream and cry at the same time. "...I'm so sorry..." he pulls her closely suddenly into a tight hug, face burying into her shoulder. He should have protected her, he'd been right there. He had just stood by while the girl hit her and he'd done nothing. He should have protected her.
His fingers curl into her shirt as he kept hugging her closely, afraid to let go. The jewel on his forehead was still glowing faintly, indicating a spell was still in use. he was desperately trying to block the memories that were flooding him suddenly. Memories he tried hard to forget for so long. He never wanted Reynee to know that part of his past, he was scared of what she'd think or do. He was scared of so many things when it came to Reynee but he was more scared to leave her because he didn't know what that would do to him.

Reynee winced softly when her cheek was touched, shying awaying from his hand and watching him quietly. Why was he acting this way? The cat gasped in surprise at the abrupt hug, staring at Dusk with wide, blue eyes, tentatively moving her hand from his face to the back of his head to pet at his hair gently. "Shh, I'm not mad at you.." Reynee whispered quietly into Dusk's ear, leaning back against the tree and hugging him in a comforting manner. He wasn't apologizing about the slap, was he? He didn't need to! It was her fault for taking it!
"Shh, shh. Stop crying and look at me?" She murmured quietly, putting her hands on his shoulders and gently trying to push him back so she could get a good look at his face.

Dusk just pressed close to her, chewing his lip as he shivered gently from his soaked clothes, the gem on Reynee's forehead had at least done some to protect her clothes from being soaked. He leans into her hug happily, slightly nuzzling at her neck. "...this is all my fault..." It was his fault, her friendship with the girl was crumbling simply because of his presence. His eyes slowly open and look up to Reynee when she pleads with him to do so. He watches her face quietly, having no idea what to say to her, worried whatever he said would make things worse.

The cat smiled and held his face tenderly with both hands, tilting her head to the side and kissing his nose. "There's the Dusk I know and love...don't blame yourself, I've just had really bad luck lately. Nothing to do with you at all! Now," Reynee paused to help the mage stand up, pushing his wet hair out of his face and wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Let's get you inside before you get sick, okay? I think we've been outside long enough. Right Twilight?" She glanced back at the fox and grinned widely, stroking Dusk's cheek softly with her thumb as she waited for some sort of answer.

He watches her as she takes his face into her hands, leaning into them and blushing softly at her words. standing up with her help. Wet hair was a bit pain for him, he often thought of just cutting all the hair off. " Reynee...I-" He blinks, looking down as the fox nearly tackles his leg and clings to it,slowly reaching to gently pet his hair. "..it's okay Twilight..." He glances to Reynee, about to disagree before slowly nodding in agreement. Reynee or Twilight might get sick if they stayed in the rain any longer, he wasn't worried about himself. "...I suppose..." he leans into her hand again, finding he needed to feel her touch.

Dusk was so cute when he couldn't think of anything to say! Reynee shook her head and put a finger over Dusk's lips, draping an arm across the mage's shoulders and scooping up Twilight with her other arm. The faster they got back to the orphanage the better, Reynee was growing sick of standing in this spot for so long now that it'd been ruined by Kailine and that demon.
"You said it again." Reynee teased, looking up at Dusk as she led him away from the tree.

Dusk blinks, looking to her finger then her, blushing still as she started to lead them away. Twilight blinks and squirms in Reynee's arm a bit before settling with a slight pout. He blinks and blushes more, opening his mouth to protest the statement before just shaking his head, leaning into her gently as they walked. He blinks as they finally clear the forest, looking up to the clouds from the receeding storm he'd created, blinking and stopping. He watches the colors of the sunset quietly before looking to Reynee, gently nudging her and nodding in the direction. "sun's setting...do you need to be going home...?" He was pretty sure she didn't live at the orphanage since she had a family. His hand went up to hers on his shoulder, intertwining their fingers.

"...Oh...you're right, it is...well...um...I'm sure I could convince my mother to let me stay here one more night!" Reynee put Twilight back down so he could walk on his own, squeezing Dusk's hand lovingly and resting her head on his shoulder. She wanted to stay a little longer just to make sure Twilight and Dusk didn't get sick from their cold, wet clothes.
Wait!
Reynee froze, her face suddenly turning to the brightest red humanly possible. In order to prevent them from getting sick...they'd need dry clothes! "Uh...er...you two have...other...clothes, right?" Oh God.

Dusk blinks and smiles slowly at her statement, squeezing back happily. He didn't want her to leave...he would have been lonely and that feeling probably would have driven him mad for the night. He tentatively wraps an arm around her waist to draw her closer, resting his chin ontop of her head and closing his eyes. His eyes flutter open after a moment at her last statement, thinking then nodding. "..ah yes...I did manage to bring a few of the bags from the camp...I picked them up after you left before..." he glances to her, blinking at the blush then just looking forward again. He walks with her quietly to the room Twilight had been staying in. He went to loosen the top button of his robe around his neck, only to find his fingers were shaking too much from being cold to properly grasp the button and hold onto it, sighing gently.

Reynee breathed out a sigh of relief, relaxing in Dusk's arms as they walked back inside to the room. Dusk really had no idea how happy it made her that he had clothes, did he? But wait...her clothes were still...somewhat wet and cold, and the only other thing she had to wear was something to sleep in! s**t!
As soon as they entered the room, the cat stopped looking at Dusk. It would be rude to watch Dusk undress! ...I think...would he mind? Reynee mentally slapped herself across the face at the thought, her face burning a brighter red as she turned away to look out the window. Oh god, Reynee! Stop thinking like that! One ear flicked to the side when she heard a sigh, blinking and glancing back at Dusk. "Something wrong?"

"my hands just won't stop shaking...I guess I was out too long in the rain...how long was it raining for? " Dusk had no idea really how long he'd been out for, he didn't remember anything really from when he passed out to when he saw Reynee's face. He'd somehow gotten into a kneeling postion, but it was most likely from Reynee sitting him up. He moves to sit down and try and undo his buttons, having no more luck really. He glances over and blinks with a kind of twitch, Twilight having already disrobed and was shaking off. "Twilight, put some clothes on, I don't think Reynee wants to see you naked..."
Twilight blinks, looking to Reynee. He had his back to her so nothing too bad was seen. He made a face. "why are girls weird about that?" he pouted and dug in his bag, pulling on some dry clothes and rubbing his ears and tail with a towel. Dusk sighs, rolling his eyes and yet again attempt to get the over robe off, muttering at how difficult it was proving to be. "are you cold Reynee...?" he glances up to her.

"...Oh...uh, it didn't rain long, actually. Maybe just a few minutes..." Reynee quickly turned away again, really trying not to watch Dusk get changed. The cat shrugged a bit when Twilight was scolded, running a hand through her hair and gathering it all up on top of her head. Meh, need...something to do with...hands. "He's just a little kid, it's not that big of a deal. I'm not looking anyway." Dusk would know if she was looking, she wouldn't be as calm!
The cat quickly shook her head and let go of her hair, holding her arms and nibbling nervously on her lip. "Oh, no! Not at all!" Her body language said otherwise, her fur was bristled and there were goosebumps everywhere you could get goosebumps. And this shirt got really uncomfortable when it was cold and wet.

Dusk blinks, looking up to watch her as Twilight jumped into his bed and curled up. He watches a long moment before getting up again, walking to gently place his shaking hands on her shoulders, blinking. "you're shivering...we should get you changed..." he rubs her shoulders a bit to try and warm her up. He blinks a little, finding he enjoyed the feel of her bare shoulders. He leans to kiss her cheek gently. "or else you'll be the one to catch a cold..." He was still shivering in his own clothes, which due to the fact all had buttons and the sort, didn't seem to be coming off until his hands stopped shaking. Or unless Reynee offered to help...He blinks, blushing at that thought and swallowing a little.

Reynee blushed again and shook her head quickly. "O-oh no! I'll be fine! You...really don't want to see the only dry clothes I have..." Reynee hadn't been expecting to stay for two nights, so she really didn't think of bringing an extra set of normal clothes. The cat closed her eyes and purred softly, catching Dusk's lips in a deep kiss as he pulled away. She'd be fine! Really! But Dusk was much wetter than she was, and if he didn't stop trembling he'd be stuck in these clothes...
Reynee wouldn't allow that.
"Uh...here...let me, I'll leave and go change after I help you with this, alright?" She was still blushing, but she swallowed hard and tried to crush the things that had managed to get into her head. No! No thinking bad thoughts! What has gotten into you Reynee?! Reynee chewed on her lip as she quickly unbuttoned the three buttons on Dusk's robes, leaving a quick kiss on his cheek before she turned away and headed for the door. "I'll be right back." She slumped down against the door after she'd closed it, raking her hands through her hair and whining. "Gah! He can't see me in that! Oooh, what am I going to doooo." Reynee whispered quietly, biting her lip again and pushing herself off the door. She'd just...wear a robe over it! Yeah! Perfect!

Dusk blinks, giving a soft sound and leaning into the kiss, having been caught off guard by it. "..Reynee...you don't have to be embarrased by your clothes...I'm sure they are fine..." He swallows, eyes opening and looking to her, blinking and giving a soft blush as she undoes his cloak, watching after her as she nearly bolted from the room. He stood quietly for a few moments before shifting to get the cloak off completely and peel himself out of his robes and dig out some dry clothes. He mananges to find a blue tunic with some tan pants, pulling them on quietly, thinking, though it was hard to think when his thoughts kept drifting to Reynee.
