Welcome to Gaia! ::

humm, he was hoping that if he had no reminded her she would have forgotten, and perhaps stayed with him longer.
Hurriedly he tried to think of more things he could show her, but truthfully he has no idea what was around in the first place. And certainly none that she would really enjoy... oddly enough, her kind was indeed strange, he could not imagine the Swamp as something to be grossed out by. Perhaps it was her own fondness for her own strange land.
He pulled his head back up. Grinning politely, but still somewhat let down, he pulled his claw back, sitting up next to her to let her up.
"Unfortunately I do not" he admitted. Keeping his eyes firmly on hers. Not letting them so much as flicker away from her beauty.
"It is getting late" he added, finally turning to look up at the canopy above.
"If you must go back... I will gladly escort you"

he watched patiently as the fished primped her. amused somewhat with how useful the little servants were. he wondered if there were other pets in the Candy land that had been taught to do other things.
getting to his feet, he glanced around to figure out where they were, and where they needed to go from here.
steps heavily, he leads her back the way they came. the hissing of the bog growing more and more quiet as they advanced towards the edge of candy Land. the dieing light very soothing on his eyes. he didn't have anything to say thought the walk. anything he was thinking on involved asking her to stay, so he tried to draw the walk out as much as he could.

Jayce didn't bother asking his uncle why they where still sitting at the edge of the Swamp. he knew his Uncle might answer, but Jayce found it uncomfortable to question his uncle.
he had lost track of how long they had been sitting there. but ever since Jedrek had set foot out of the swamp, he just sat down, and stared off into the distance.
Jayce hunched slightly eyelids half concealing his pupils. this was extreamly dull.

Equis paused at the end of the Swamp. staring out as she bounded ahead,
even here, he could smell the almost sickeningly sweetness of the land. and even though the light was dimming, he saw how brightly colored everything was in the distance... all in all... a very unpleasant place. but what was more unpleasant, was to see Jedrek and another freakish looking Numa sitting just outside the Swamp. no doubt waiting to take Calypso away from him.

Jedrek turned at the sound of his face
"ah" was the only sound he made as he saw the goddess of a Numa walking out of the Swamp, and in a very monotoned voice at that. his glance moved past her for a moment, seeing the glowing streaks of the large Numa hidden in the trees.

"do NOT tell me we waited all that time for HER" Jayce's voice was the loudest so far, underlining his extreme disapproval, and gesturing a clawed paw roughly towards her.

"ugh please" Jayce scowled "you smell like the Swamp. I don't want you near me, trouble or not" pushing to his feet, the grumpy Skulled Numa moved off farther away from the Swamp, walking slow as to give Jedrek and Calypso a chance to catch up... well not so much Calypso.

Jedrek glanced at Jayce as he moved away, then pushed to his feet as well and turned his attention back to Calypso
"yes" he said truthfully. not knowing what more to say and a situation like that.
"you where going to catch up with us later" he added. then turned his body as if to moved off towards Jayce, still waiting and watching her.

Equis glared coldly at the young Numa... strange, he was not a Coffee either. and obviously did not know any manners, it was disgustingly how he treated Calypso. and Jedrek... what was someone so beautiful doing with that thing, why was it he that take Calypso away?
his claws dig angrily in the soft ground. eyes narrowing even further.

he dropped his anger the moment he noticed she was coming his way. blinking softly as she spoke, a small, though hidden smile crossing his lips, bowing his head.
"sooner then later I hope"

Jedrek continued to wait. eyes open but not seeming to be looking at anything.

He closed his eyes, lowering his head slightly as she licked him, and even as she said goodbye and moved away he did not look up.
This was not right. She was not supposed to be leaving, everything was wrong... WRONG!
His eyes opened ever so slightly, glaring at the Coffee who dare take her... how could he even tolerate that land? There was something wrong with him.

He considered for a moment. Just turning around and going back into the Swamp... wait out those long days till he could see her again... perhaps be content with that. But his fondness for that Goddess, and personal anger would not allow him to do that.

Jedrek raised an eyebrow, considering how much time it must have taken... but the concept of time often passed though him as he went on with his undead life.
"Since we separated" finding a different way of answering her question. Wondering if it was sufficient.
“I find that most thing the Swamp uncomfortable. Your stayed in there-“

His voice was cut off as an enormous pressure smashed into the top of his hip, followed by a vicious crunch.
With out a change of Expression Jedrek crumpled to the ground, back legs sprawled as his hip was fractured. Turning to find out what had happened, he found himself staring up at the immense figure of the glowing coffee. Claw still placed on Jedrek’s hip; fur around his neck and along his back standing on end as he glared coldly down at the Zombie, his breathing heavy and slow, with a slight growl to it.

"I'm not going to let this happen!" he growled, dangerous eyes darting up to look at her. she was cowering away. he felt bad for having to put her though this, but it was the only way he felt, he could set her free from this monster.
that... disgustingly zombie, it didn't even flinch when Equis had crushed it. was it seriously undead?
well he was about to see. the creature was staring up at him, dark sunken eyes just staring, indifferent to the damage the Raver was causing his body.
"you smug-" he swiped forward, grabbing Jedrek's face and pinning it to the ground. threatening to crush it open.

Jayce would have been content just walking on. avoiding Jedrek and his new company.
but a very.. unusual sound caused him to turn, looking back upon a sigh he had not expected.
eyes wide, mouth slightly open as he processed what was going on. he gave a growl and dashed back as quick as he could. zipping past Calypso and latching his claws, and sinking his skull fangs into Equis' arm, causing the giant to release the grip he had on Jedrek's face. but in return, cause the Coffee he yowl in pain, swinging the young Candy around and slamming him into the ground knocking the wind out of him.

"its not normal Calypso" Equis barked, shaking the limp skull Candy off of him and turning back towards her "they don't belong with you"

A deep growl vibrated in his chest, watching her approach the skulled Numa. apparently that one was still alive.
"they are below you" he said though his growl.
his mission was put on halt for a moment. seeing her react like that, and say those words to him. but slowly he shook that out of his head, telling himself... no... she's just confused, I'm doing the right thing.

Jayce sat up slightly as she talked to him. trying to breath, but finding it very difficult. his breaths cut short. he slumped his head down, then lifting it up to face the sky and try to breath better.
"sure" he breathed "great"
he didn't look great. his body was shaking, eyes wide as he took breath after breath.
he knew he didn't like Coffee's they had issues.

Jedrek had not moved, hip still useless, he just watched what was happening with half lidded eyes. focusing more on Jayce as he noticed his living nephew seemed to have been upset from his normal pattern of breathing.
