Damn her and her pretty face damn her and all of her strength in being just who he needed to talk to. To confide in... Why couldnt he stop thinking about that night...about the way he hurt her. Why had he done it? to conqure a fear he had that maybe he wasnt in control of his feelings... maybe because he returns everynight to find Naisu waiting. Who new. The Vixen haunted his dreams now and there wasnt a thing he could do. Well...besides going out to woo her... There was always that distinc posibillity...he may just have to take up the practice...but were would that leave naisu?...who was he to do that...With a sigh he pulled on his coat and headed to trhe park. The crisp night air bit at his face as he walked with his collar flipped ot the wind

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens...bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens. Brown paper packages, tied up with string...these are a few of my favorite things... >>Araine walked the winding path through the park, at last coming to the frozen lake, her destination, to lightly touch her slippered foot to the ice. With a little bit of testing, she found it sturdy, and slowly began to step onto it<< Cream colored ponies and crisp apple stroodles. Doorbells and sleighbells and snitzel with noodles... >>Ever step she took that didn't crack under her encouraged the female, to the point where she was smoothly running across the ice<< Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings, these are a few of my favorite things! >>She stopped running, her knees bending to send her slidding smoothly across the lake, golden brown hair flowing behind her as she sang<< When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad, I simply remember my favorite things, and then I don't feel! >>She slowed to a stop, a little off the lakes center. The female sent herself into a tight little spin, one leg extending out to help keep balance. Almost as if a real ice skater<< Sooo baaaddd!

Akio frowned to the sky as a few words of a song came to greet him on the path he was walking. He turned his head to look at the frozen lake. The smile and warm feeling he had from hearing the song vanished into thin threads of what now seemed a far off memory... There she was...having fun...enjoying herself...forgetting about him... He sighed and looked out at the ice frowning. The lake never froze hard enough to walk on... at least not the side that was closest to his home... well Naisu's and his home... Damn that evil thought. He looked back out at her she seemed to be carefree as ever...maybe his letting her go from him was the best thing... The song though made him wince. He had finally remembered the song... Yes he was the most unruly monster there was... moving toward the lake he stopped. All he wanted to do was apologize and then leave to never see her again all he wanted was...no he couldnt do that to her. HE too a step...what...his foot slipped as the bank took a drastic slope downward... Curse his clumsiness... Sliding onto the ice he cursed covered in mud and snow. So much for an idea of moving discreetly by and leaving her to her happiness.

>>She finished her spin and straightened on the ice, panting as the smile she had worn began to die. If only roses and kittens, kettles and mittens...presents...whatever snitzel was...If only all of it...really could make her happy- Her head snapped to the side at a loud noise, bright blue eyes slowly widening<< Akio? >>What was he...<< Akio! >>She didn't hesitate, she didn't think, only ran towards the opposite bank to her fallen friend<< Akio, akio are you okay?! >>CRACK! The ice gave way under her right foot, catching it to send her forwards. The rest of her body crashed down, sending the ice shattering, and her into the cold waters below<<

Akio was sitting and just about to answer her question when he heard the sickening sound of the ice. He watched n horror as she went under. He let himself look into the water to hope she wasnt far away. With a last minuute thought he tugged off his thankfully loose fitting boots and his heavy down coat before plunging into the fridged water. Opening his eyes to a blurry image he found his friend. Araine... His mind was racing and his bofdy contracted trying to save warmth but he forced himself forward to reach out to her. his hand half way between them he hoped she could reach to take it.

>>Cold. It...was so...cold...On impact her eyes had shut closed and her body writhed. She rose to the surface only to find ice. She had thrashed away from the opening. Panic sharply laced through her as she forced her eyes open, a blurry light to the side. She tried to reach for it, but too late. Too late. In her gasp of surprise, she had taken in water, already her lungs burned for more air. She had to reach it, she had to...the female began to sink. Too late...too late...Akio...Akio? She slowly reached out, eyes slipping closed again as her fingers wisped against his. She was too late, too late. He was too late...too late<<

Im assuming its tara on a mule?
Akio watched in helplessness as she reached out so close. So close. "NO" His shout was muffled by the intake of water but he couldnt let her drown. His eyes blinked shut as his heart thumped in his chest. his lungs calling for oxygen. He couldnt let her drown... It wasnt too late...it couldnt be too late... No ...please dont let it be too late. with a burst of adrenalin he propelled himself to the darkness. Araine... his one truest friend... was not going to die... Reaching out once more he pushed himself to grasp her around the middle. Yes he had her now there was the small problem of the stupid light growing smaller. He looked down and noted the closeness to the ground and in a matter of second had his feet pushing off from the large rock near by under their feet. And then the light was still growing smaller his lungsn bburned as he closed in on the hole... If she lived he would have to teach her to swim... That is if they both did. His shoulder made contact with the ice and with a final thrust of heis feet he pushed her out and collapsed on the ice, half way in and halfway out of the water. Thankful for the air his lungs filled harshly. "Araine..." His voice was bairly a whisper and was ragged. "Oh be ok...please be ok...."puling himself out he shivered but panic out rided his sense of self. She needed to breath... dear lord let her breath.

OOC: ^-^ mules are wonderous things
BIC: >>Cold. It...was so...cold...Her eyes closed all the way as she sank, long brown hair fanning around her in a final shroud. Too late...too late...Too late the arm around her waist, too late the sharp kick off the rock, too late the rising to the surface, too late akio breathed. Half in the water, half out, she remained limp against Akio, lips slightly parted as the chilled water trailed down her chin and back to the ground. She couldn't feel the cold anymore<<

We have had a drowning scene before... and i think our characters played the same roles.
Akio breathed harshly raggedly. "Araine...Open your eyes love.." Dear lord was she breathing? He couldnt tell. "Araine!" his voice was sturn since when he was small he dozed through CPR lessions he couldnt do much... He looked at his hands and the her smaller body... It woiuld crush her if he did what he had learned before. "Araine... Talk to me...Dont leave me..." He looked at the water dribbling down to the ice.. THat ment she wasnt breathing... He took a deep breath and placed his hands on her chest one over the other and thought about how to do it... 1...2...3 cheak then go again...right...no...wrong...He had to do ...no maybe he was right...god he was confused. He pressed down. 1...again...2 ....3...

OOC: lol, don't look at me, you're the one who prompted it by saying that the ice was thin by Akio. And running on it is not the brightest move in the world
BIC: >>She fell onto the cold ice, slipping slightly more into the water as Akio raced time for a decision. one...two...three...Nothing. One...two...three...She sharply coughed, rolling onto her side away from him and subsequently slipping back into the water. Her elbows caught her just before she ended up drowning herself again. She coughed into the ice infront of her, eyes tightly closed. Why did her head hurt? Those bright blue eyes slowly opened. How did she get here? What happened?<< O...u...ch...

"Oh thank the sky..." HE breathed and pulled her into his arms tightly. He hadnt lost her. He had her back...well mostly. HE breather a sigh of relife and scooped her up slowly once he had moved from the cracked ice. "Are you ok?" he said softly moving u the bank and drapped his jacket aound her shoulders. "God i thought i lost you."

>>She felt like someone punched both of her lungs, doused her with water then threw her into a large freezer. The female ached, whimpering faintly when she was pulled back out of the water and into a tight embrace. She began to tremble in his arms<< A...ki...o... >>She turned into his body, curling up slightly as she buried her head into his shoulders. Araine was easily picked up, chilled, dripping, and miserable, but unresisting. She nodded, numb fingers slowly clinging to his drenched shirt. The female would sooner chop off her left hand then let go of the mystic<< ...c-cold... >>Even with the jacket the female shivered<< Sorry. >>She tried to hide her face moreso into his shoulder, clinging to him with her embarrassment. She still didn't understand what was going on, but she was a burden to the male yet again. She always managed to get in the way somehow though, didn't she<<

He offered a smile. not one that would pass off as calm either. "You scaired me to death..." He breathed. One warm thing this very cold day. He forced himself not to shiver...forced himself to pretend he wasnt freezing his bones off for her sake. "Im... Im gonna take you to my...uh...mothers house...well caffe is my mother..." he frowned and shook his head as water raced down his neck. "Its warm there." He nodded and fluttered his wings knowing it would be shorter and colder if he flew but a slight warmer and slower if they walked. "We'll walk its not ...that far."He shook his head and walked...quickly mind you...to the front door to the house. he pushed in without a care and knew faintly at the back of his mind caffe wasn't home. HE sighed and went to get a blanket from the chest. He peeled the jacket from around her and frowned "Araine...You have to let go..." He waited tugging her fingers until he held her hand. he set her softly on the couch "Lets get you dried...Ill be right back... Dont move from the couch. HE covered her with the blanket and moved to the bathroom to get a towel for her hair gabbing a pair of clean and dry pants for himself. "Araine?" he asked softly walking back into the room. "Here..." He moved slowly to put the towel on her hair. "I hate to ask this of you...but we need to get you from your wet clothes.... can you manage or..." He hesitated"Or do you need help?" His eyes skimed down the wetting blanket.

Sorry. >>The female repeated again before nodding. She knew Caffe...vaugely. Her mother knew her more. Araine didn't speak again the entire way back, simply shivering in his arms in meek silence. Part of it was out of shame, while the other part was she lacked the words to say all she was feeling right then. And the breath to say them. Oh but how she clung harder when he brought her inside! She didn't want to let him go. Couldn't they just sit together on the couch for a while? Naisu wouldn't mind that right? Right? In the end she did make it on the couch, but minus one Akio. Where else could she go? Back home? She'd be encased with ice by the time she reached the front steps. The towel plopped over her head, settling very much like an arabian headress. She looked up at him, bright blue eyes large and trusting...Her face began to redden. Well, even more then she naturally was<< What? >>What...what did he just ask her? She squirmed slightly under the blanket<< I should...I...I mean I can... >>The female whispered, eyes wide at the prospect of Akio so far as...as...undressing her. The mere thought!...Why was he looking at her like that?<< If...if you can though...just...turn around or...leave the room?

Akio started to turn red he turned and with a curt nodd went into the other room. HE breathed. Yes...she was in the other room now he could get dry. He m,ade short work of changing. Sliping on the dry pants once he'd had toweled off. He sighed and knocked on the door. "Are you ok?" He frowned "Call once your changed out of your wet clothes so i can get them dry...." HE waited until she had called that she was changed from the wet to... He paled she wouldnt have a thing on... He lay his forehead against the door. Maybe Avalynn... maybe her romm still had something... He walked up the staires and into the clearly feminin room and found a night gown. He eyed it and drew a breath movine down the staires once again going down to call through the door. "I brought you something to change into."
