Welcome to Gaia! ::

Her body crouched in response to the smiling pelt as well as the growled words. Mars was different than the being she came across the night before. More... Well, to be honest, Haldora was frightened, probably just as the shaking bat between her front feet.

Could she let him eat the little bat? Sure. Would her conscience let her? Not at all. The Angeli snarled, " No." Her back claws dug into the ground, her wings spread open, and in a quick bounce against the floor, she was heading straight for the male, jaws open to dig and taste his blood, or at least, give the little bat enough time to free itself.

This aggressive behavior was troubling. His lunge at her was noted, the female paused in fright. He was stronger than her, no doubts about that. She braced herself for the attack, tensing her muscles, only for the attack to never come. Her eyes gazed at Mars, confusion dancing in those green eyes.

True concern came over her. Haldora forgot the danger and took a step forward, only to think quickly at the cry for her death. She steped down hard, bringing her wings close to her body, making her body mass and her vitals safer in theory from the mad akuma. Her plan was to hit his chest with her shoulder, surprise him just enough, and make a break for the outside. Maybe the shock of the sudden defensive attack would startle him enough to throw him outside as well, but either way, she was going to get outside. Loosing a bit of fur in the process was only a minor and dismissible risk at this point. Haldora had to live to kill her 'God'; Mars wasn't allowed to stop her.

A yip escaped as the feather was pulled from her wing. It was rather troubling, but she didn't stop when she heard his voice. But sunlight felt nice on her back. It was warm, it was comforting to be able to be out in the light..But at the same time, too bright. She had to squint to see anything with the way the sun was angled. It didn't help that he managed to get back in front of her quickly.

Her wings spread out, folding loosely as her teeth bared at his words. Cared? He? But wasn't that Mars speaking? Wait...no... Mars wouldn't kill a thing, she coudln't imagine him killing anything at all. Not with the story he told... Her lips quivered as she crouched, looking up at the male only to pause mid growl as...dust... fell...from the sky?

" What the... ? " Yay for easily distracted persons! She stood up and just stared, not exactly sure what to do. Her head tilted to the side, her nose bouncing up and down trying to sniff out this odd...new...thing. " Mars? " She thought quickly...it was agitating him... it... could hurt him. But, hadn't he tried to kill her? Yes, no, oh she didn't know anymore! The female took this as her chance and sprang forward, not to hurt Mars, but to at least get him away from this odd irritating red dust. " Stop rubbing it in! " she tried to get him to listen, tugging on the pelt to try to pull him away from the shower.

She was stunned, though she let up after it was clear the skin wouldn't come off. Hal was stunned at his actions though. Yelling at her. Telling her she would be killed, but was he speaking to himself she couldn't help but wonder at the same time.

The angeli just stood there, eyes wide beneath that saber cat's pelt, unsure what exactly to do. A wave of sympathy came over her. Her head moved down and gently she licked the side of his face. " It stopped... it's okay, Mars... I'm fine... It didn't hurt me..." Poor guy was batty, alright. She had half the mind to tell him that, Yet...something moved out of the corner of her eyes and the female was growling at this flash of black and red, her eyes searching for this new annoyance, unaware how her wings spread out in a veil over the pitiful male.

" What are you! Come out! "

Hal could only blink at the beautiful thing. Had she ever seen something so pretty and...well, darn tooting it was dangerous from its coloration. There was one problem, she didn't speak bug. Her head tilted in confusion, wanting to know what the little bug was thinking, but, her head turned back to look down at the male. " Its okay... No harm was done. A few.... " She blinked, letting what he said in. The butterfly...spoke? When? " Mars... you... the bug... spoke? "


Clearly she was confused until a rustling in the cave caught her attention. " Ack! The bat! " The butterfly forgotten, even if it was sitting on her wing, Hal bounced back into the cave, very gently freeing the poor little bat from it's prison. THe little mammal crawled and clung to her fur, hiding under her wing shaking, squeaking adamantly. Jebus...it was a chatterbox. Her tail flicked back and forth as she moved, her wings folded against her loosely, attention to the small black fur that miss-matched hers. " ... talking bugs..phft... the bat makes much more sense than a bug. "
