 The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... Raevyn put both combs in one hand then moved his empty one to catch the brush. It would take more than just a slow brush to actually hit him, considering his reflexes. "Why? It's so much fun. If you want help making the braid neater, you could always ask you know." He pointed out, having fun teasing her.  The tiger that should be....isn't....

Really, she just wanted to be left alone for a minute - no matter how good having someone brush her hair felt. She needed a time of quiet. A time to think. Just...think. He seemed to think that she was fully straight forward, that she never thought about anything. But really, everything she did was carefully thought out and planned.

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... Raevyn chuckled, moving back a half step so the door didn't hit him. "If you need the brush or combs, I'll be in the living room." He called to her through the door then turned and walked off. He'd flustered her enough for right now. He whistled cheerfully to himself as he walked, juggling the brush and combs. The tiger that should be....isn't....

She unraveled it, frowning at herself. How pitiful was she? The first time people thought she had a boyfriend, and he didn't want to be like that with her. It...hurt. There was no reason she would tell him though. She shed a tear as she stood there, several more following. After a couple minutes of silent tears, she applied make up to cover up any trail they had left. Quietly, she walked back out. "Err...could you-" She didn't know how to finish asking him.

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... Raevyn sat on the couch, randomly juggling the combs and brush. He glanced up as his sharp ears caught the sound of Ashriel's footsteps. "All you had to do was ask." He told her easily, figuring what she wanted from the sight of her unbound hair. He stopped playing with the brush and combs. "C'mere. Sit down and I'll braid it." He gestured for her to come sit on the floor in front of the couch. The tiger that should be....isn't....

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... Raevyn worked quietly for a minute, running the brush softly through Ashriel's hair. "Want to tell me why you were crying?" He asked quietly as he worked. He continued just brushing her hair for right now, hoping it would help relax her from whatever was making her cry. The tiger that should be....isn't....

Her voice was soft as she sat where she was. The brushing actually was calming as she continued to think. She did not tell him why; she felt uncomfortable telling him. Perhaps he would find it to be his fault. [ I ] { A } m that shy person that is forced to speak. [ I ] { A } m that quietly loud person that seems to be able to be both at the same time.

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... "Well to begin with, I'm more empathic than most humans. If you get nervous, it makes me nervous. When you're happy, I can feel that too. And I can feel it when you're upset. I can't tell the cause, but I can feel the basic emotions of those around me." Raevyn explained, his voice soft. The brushing seemed to be working so he simply continued it, not braiding her hair just yet. He would braid it in a bit, when she was calmer. "And for another matter, your eyes were red. That only happens when humans cry." The tiger that should be....isn't....

"I wish there was make up to cover up red eyes." She thought a moment more before actually bothering to answer his previous question. "Well... I... I don't know...if you'd know..." Obviously, she was just trying to hide what her actual reason was, for one reason or another. [ I ] { A } m that shy person that is forced to speak.

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... "It's called contacts. And it's fine. Don't tell me if you don't want to." Raevyn said with a shrug, glad that Ashriel was facing away from him. It meant he didn't have to hide the look on his face, a look of hurt. He'd thought they were past all that. He'd thought they trusted each other. It hurt that she didn't trust him enough to tell him what was wrong. The tiger that should be....isn't....

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... The hurt he'd felt before was nothing to what he felt now, a pain that made his heart clench. He sighed, putting the brush down. "I'm sorry. I didn't realize I'd made it seem like that." He said quietly, moving to where he could see her face. "I was not objecting because I don't like you Ashriel. I was objecting because of everything else. All the people who would talk. All the problems that could crop up for you, because of me. You were never the issue." He told her firmly. He didn't want her thinking he didn't like the girl. He did, he just didn't want her to end up in trouble - From humans or animals. He was trying to protect her. The tiger that should be....isn't....

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... Raevyn sighed. He reached out and hugged Ashriel. "I worry more when I don't know what's wrong." He said quietly. He hesitated then kissed her forehead lightly. "I'm sorry for upsetting you. I was never objecting to you, not once." The tiger that should be....isn't....
