It seemed as though that Christmas had been wandering around aimlessly for what felt like ages. She had searched the tower, but saw no signs of Tal. So now, the feline made her way through the forest. She missed him desperately, and despite how bad things seemed as they were when she had last seen Tal, her heart ached without her dearest friend.

Talisaurus sat in a clearing in the forest, looking up at the sky above him. He had just gotten back from a rather forced family trip with his guardian and the others she cared for, so didn't know Christmas was out looking for him.

As Christmas came upon a clearing, looking rather ragged and tired, her jade eyes widdened. Immediately she sprinted to the bat crying out, "TAL!" She leaped outward, lunging to tackle him into a hug so tight, with tears welding up at the corners of her eyes. He was alright!


Talisaurus' head raised up at the sound of his name, then he was tackled and fell over backwards, his arms automatically circling around Christmas as she hugged him. "Christmas? Are you alright?" He asked, noticing the tears.

A sniffle came from her but she nuzzled his cheek and smiled, nodding. "Uh-huh. I just was so scared and missed you so much that when I finally found you, I'm just.. so relieved and happy to see you're okay!" Christmas then looked up into his red eyes. "You are okay, right?"

Talisaurus smiles, then nods, kissing Christmas' nose. "Yes, I'm alright. Sorry to worry you. My guardian had everyone in the house just up and go on an unplanned vacation. I guess she just got the urge to wander and didn't trust us to be able to take care of ourselves."

Christmas nuzzled into his chest and looked up at him with a rather wide eyed kitten appearance. "I was so scared that I had chased you away from me forever." The way she clung to him seemed like a child afraid to be left by herself.

Talisaurus hugs her close to him and kisses the top of her head. "You could never chase me away, Christmas." He said with a smile.

A small purr could be felt coming from within the tiny feline anthro as she kissed his cheek. "I missed you Tal. I was so scared I wouldn't ever see you again." That jade green gaze fell to the floor as she asked sheepishly, "Did you.. heal well? I had stayed with you but when I woke up one day you were gone."

Talisaurus blinks, then looks down at her. "Yes, I healed up very well. Why would you think you wouldn't see me again?"

"Because," Her ears dropped and she turned her head away in shame. The purring had ceased, her long silk black hair falling over her face. "of how I reacted and.... what happened between us.. last time we really talked.. I thought... you.. ran from me... " Tal could feel her body tremble at this.

Talisaurus hugs Christmas close to him, then looks down at her face again. "You could never upset me that badly, Christmas. Ever."

Tears spilled over and ran down down her cheeks as she looked into his red gaze again. "Are you sure? I mean I am not perfect or nearly good enough for you.. I was so scared that you had enough of me and found someone else to care for."

Talisaurus blinks, then shakes his head. "I would never set you aside and go for someone else. Let me put it to you this way... When I tell someone I love them, I mean it. It sort of binds me to them, if you want to think of it that way. I wouldn't want to get rid of you or ditch you for someone else. You're perfect to me, and that's all that matters, right?"

Christmas sniffled a little and nodded, her arms moving only to rub her face as clean as she could before she nuzzled his chest affectionately. "Tal, I have been thinking, and a few things changed since you were last here," Her ears pinned against her head and she looked down at the ground sheepishly. "Do you want to move with me somewhere? Or maybe move in with me at the house?"


He smiles, then nods. "Of course I do. Wherever you want to live, I'll live there too." He said with a smile.

Christmas smiled brightly and embraced him so tightly into her arms. Her purr returned to a loud sound that he could hear it as well as feel it. Her lips pressed against his warmly, only releasing him to thank him then returning to him. She then rested her head on his shoulder and her green eyes stared up at him. "So tell me: where did your family take you?"


Talisaurus smiles, resting his head lightly against hers. "Eh... We had to go on some camping trip that the girls had been pestering our guardian about for the past few months or so. I think it was called Eagle Rock, but I can't remember. It wasn't very fun."

Christmas beamed a smile. "Well I promise our home won't be near that 'Eagle Rock' then." She giggled and huggled him. "Was it pretty there?" Her tail flicked around left and right. Her curiosity was just a way to mask her wishes. Suddenly she pulled her head away and looked up at him. "Can we go flying whenever you're rested enough?"

Talisaurus blinks, then nods. "Yeah, it was pretty enough, I guess. Not enough to make me want to stay like the others wanted to do." He smiles, then nods. "Of course! As soon as I'm rested, we'll go flying again. Anything you want to do."

Christmas purred happily, and giggled. "I promise this time I will listen and it will be much more fun then before." The feline was truly excited to get a good flight with her beloved Tal. She then blinked. "Have you had a chance to rest or have I found you when you just got back?"

"Well, I've been here about an hour or so, just relaxing, so I think I'm rested up enough to go on a flight with you, if you want." He said, smiling as he hugs her again.

Christmas smiled and nuzzled him, kissing his cheek affectionately. "YAY!" She slowly got up, being careful of him. After all, the tiny female did kind of pounce him fiercely when she first saw him. "I haven't been flying since the last time." She seemed a little embarrased to admit something like that.

Talisaurus grins, then slowly stands up, offering Christmas his hand. "Well, do you remember how we took off last time?"

Christmas' ears pinned back. "No I don't. Sorry. All I remember is.. well.. the bad thing.." The feline seemed ashamed that that was all she could remember. Well, she also remember Tal holding her in the air was well. But that had nothing to do with the takeoff.

Talisaurus chuckles slightly, then tilts his head in thought. "Well, why don't we hold hands and flap our wings at the same time then? If we flap fast enough, that should help us take off."

Christmas did not need to be told twice and her hand told hold of his, fingers weaving with his own. The feline then looked at him. "One.. Two.." She had begun the countdown.

Talisaurus started flapping his wings as well, in time to Christmas'. "Three..." He said, giving an extra strong flap that lifted them both a little bit off the ground.

Christmas flapped as well but not nearly hard enough and she gasped lightly as Tal's single flap lifted them both up. Her angelic feathery white wings flapped and she giggled and smiled to Tal. "I must say you are the stronger flyer." Her jade eye winked to him.

Talisaurus just chuckles at that. "It's from years of practice, love."

Christmas smiled and her own wings stretched outward, causing her to move from his side to twirl around him, as the wings folded lighly as she spun around him, arms raised over her head as her left hand was reaching to the sky and her other rested on her wrist. She came to fly infront of him, wings stretched outward to catch the breeze as she smiled. "Tal, flying is always more fun with you."

Talisaurus smiles at Christmas, then holds a hand out to her. "Flying is much more fun with you around for me as well." He says, flapping his wings slightly.

Christmas' jade eyes blinked curiously, her hands slipping down to her side, her one reaching out to take his. "With me? I feel like nothing but a bother to you, since you are the better flyer."

Talisaurus shakes his head. "No, you aren't a bother. Besides, maybe I enjoy these little lessons between us."

Christstmas smiled, laughing lightly. "Its the one thing we both can share with one another, I guess." She tehn glanced curiously at the surrounding area and whispered, "The view up here is uncomparable."

Talisaurus smiles, then nods. "Yeah. It's one of the reasons I like high places. The view from above is wonderful."

Christmas looked up at him and hugged him curiously staring with her green eyes. "It sounds like you do a lot of flying.." 'without me' was the rest of that sentence. "Do you have a favorite spot?" She inquired.

Talisaurus thinks for a minute, then shakes his head. "Not really... Since meeting you I haven't done too much flying away from the tower. I didn't want to miss seeing you, truth be told." He said, smiling.

Christmas blushed lightly. "Tal.." She whispered quietly before smiling and hugging to him tightly. "Remember that place you wanted to show me before? The one where you got hurt along the way because of me? Well... want to try to go there again?" She looked down at the ground below them. "I promise I'll listen this time.

Talisaurus smiles, then nods. "Anywhere you want to go, we'll go." He said, turning his head slightly to get his bearings on where they were. "Well... That mountain range over behind the tower was where we were headed last time. Still want to go there?"

Christmas nodded. "Yes; you said the land over there is really pretty. But I promise this time I won't mess up again." She smiled to him and nuzzled his shoulder affectionately. "I don't want to see you hurt anymore because of me."


Talisaurus nods, then turns in the direction of the moutains, looking over his shoulder at Christmas with a smile before gliding off in that direction.

Her large white feathery wings flapped fast as she flew after him, giggling and smiling. She would have to stay focused however, and as she tried to catch up, her hand stretched out to take his.

Talisaurus slows down so that Christmas can catch up, reaching out with one hand to take her outstretched one. "Almost there. Remember, the winds shift alot over the top of the mountains, so you have to be prepared to meet that sudden change."

When she had Tal's hand in hers, she flew faster to keep up with his speed. She looked over with worried green eyes. "I'll be following your lead, Tal, so I should be prepared for anything." A smile was on her face but she still appeared nervous. Christmas dreaded a repeat of what happened last time.

Talisaurus smiles, then nods. Once they got close enough and the winds started to change, Talisaurus pulled his wings in slightly closer to his body, preparing to fly through as fast as he could. "Alright... Now, pull your wings in closer to your body. You have to be fast to get through here."

Christmas nodded, and her wings came in closer to her body and she looked over at him. "Like this?" She seemed to grow even more nervous and her hand squeezed his "Do you think we'll be alright this time?" She was growing scared.
