Welcome to Gaia! ::

With a fresh meal in his maw, the male was making his head back to the company he made not too long ago. Though, he treated Ky as a close friend, it also felt as if he was treating her as if she was his sister. Fetching food for her and doing whatever he could to please her, but, the memories and worries for his beloved twin still plagued him. Worries that Ky mustn't concern herself with.
Iorek made steady strides toward where he had awoken. Surely, Ky wasn't quite awake yet or if she was, then she would be nearby. The small antelope that he managed to catch in the midst of the confusion of a pridal ambush should satisfy each of their bellies for the while. As he approached the area, he put on a smile and trotted proudly with the limp meal in his slightly blooded maw.

" 'ornin', Ky-"

Ky's eyes slowly opened as a soft yawn passed her chest; she sighed deeply. unaware of his trip out to lunch the female rose to her feet and smirked as he drew near. A soft voice called out to him as she spoke out. "Well well, what do we have here?"

"A little brunch for a sleeping beauty," he chuckled, placing the meal before her. He licked his lips as he looked down at the meal, noticing that one of the legs were missing. He wasn't quite able to help himself. At least he knew it wasn't diseased. Iorek moved himself to lay beside her again and watched her closely.
"There is a pride nearby. They ambushed a herd of these and I just fluked and got one myself. Luckily, I got out of there. So... what do we do now?" Iorek questioned, perking his ears to keep himself alert.


"Eat" She snickered and bent down, taking a bite of his kill. She was slow when she ate, as if to enjoy every bite. After she had her fill she turned her head and narrowed her eyes, pondering. "I don't know really-- what would you like to do today?" She mused, titling her head to the side.


"Well, aside that my sister is missing and your brother is missing, we could either go look for them or we can stick around here and enjoy ourselves," he laughed nosing her head softly as he did once before. Though, his heart told him to look for his sister and hope that they come across her brother too, his leadership skills tells him that his actions were governed by those who followed so whatever Ky wanted, he would have to go along with it.
"Y-yeah, eating comes first, I suppose. I already had my fill," he purred, grooming the underside of his maw. I have to think of something else to talk about... I am starting to feel like a loser...

"Mmm. I think we should keep looking." She nodded, knowing full-well he was heart-sick over his sister missing. Her yellow eye narrowed as she slowly stood up and frowned. "Don't worry about my brother, he'll show up someday." She had faith, she had to.

Iorek nuzzled her as she stood. "We'll find them both, just you wait," he replied. Standing up, the male took a quick glance around. In one direction, it led to the pride that he had ran into earlier. It was small, must have been newly formed. In the opposite direction was where they came from, give or take. So it was one way or the other now... Toward the sun or away from it. "While we are looking for our siblings, maybe we should... talk to get this little adventure of ours rolling a little smoother."

Walking in the tall grass, leaving a path behind him for Ky, it was starting to become irksome as to why some things had to be. Tall grass for one and the prickly stuff that he occasionally stepped on. "So Ky... where are ya from?"

"I come from a pride that is settled far away from here. Me and my brother are of royal blood, but he left years before I did, to find something new I guess, I never asked him why, but I always thought it was for a female-- why he left. He had a wandering heart, after all." She frowned, as if she knew what love was at all. "I really dont what else to say about my past life, i hardly think about it now..." She nodded to herself and slowly moved on, gazing down at her paws, she didn't know what to say and was starting to feel 'lame' herself. He was being too sweet to her, what she should do? "So, what about you, tell me something i don't know about yourself."

"Well, in my pride, the leader was always white... so I was the next in line. Too bad there was no next in that line..." Iorek paused for a quick moment for Ky to catch up. Iorek was pretty true about himself, there was nothing to fear, especially from Ky. She seemed kind and sweet, she just needed the company like he did. If she knew a bit about him, he would know a bit about her. At least, then, they would not be total stranger. "Yorick? She disappeared on me too, I dunno why or where she went, but I will find her. She can't take care of herself, she is probably starving, making by with meager rations..." he sighed. "Besides, i'm here."

She nodded and moved on, looking at her paws for a long while. "Hey, ever think they left because they wanted to be gone..." She stopped. "Maybe they left to get away from us, maybe they wanted a life without a double..."

"Well... if you want it that way..." Iorek judged himself from where he was, the leap he made, and where she was. All he could do was hope he did not land on her and, inevitably, hurt the both of them. Digging his claws in, he dashed forth and jumped over a patch of tall grass and toward Ky. In his mind, he figured he wasn't going to make it over her and with a last quick twist of his body, he threw himself into a spin so he landed beside her, spawled but he made it. "T-there."

"Haha, you are a nut." She laughed and moved herself over to him, giving him a nuzzle before she trotted back in front of him. "Oh, we Marys had ourselves a ball, oh yes we did." She sang. Ky's eyes narrowed as she turned to him and spoke out, giggling. "Take a gander the bigger they are the harder they fall!"

"Well, what does that make you? Following a "nut" around?" He laughed, getting up and shaking himself off. The nuzzle was very welcomed and it made him feel a little more at ease with her. Though, her singing did get him to raise a brow. She did have a very nice voice. "H-hey!" he scoffed, headbutting her as he walked past. "Well,the better to defend you and myself!"

She only laughed and nipped at his neck before quickly dashing away from his side, as if to play with him a little. She moved back to head-butt him too, speaking out. "Come on, come on, let's not be slow now!" She mused. He was fun to mess around with. "Oh, you'll be my hero? Oh sweet." She laughed, joking.

"Why? I see nothing wrong by doing that, Ky," he replied as he made his way through the grass toward her. He didn't see in harm in it, she was kind, so he had to show her some in respect, right? "Besides, not like it is going to get us hurt or what, besides, you're a female and I am a male, so it works out too."

"Perhaps." She frowned and gazed at him. The tattoo on her check wrinkled as she parted her maw to speak. "But it could lead me onto other things you may not feel, but express, so, maybe being less close could be a good thing." She nodded. "I am female after all, and you are male..."

Iorek puffed and nodded, walking past her. "If that is how you truly feel, fine by me, I will keep my e-motions to myself then," he emphasized. If she did not want to get close to him, that was fine. He was simply treating her as if she was his sister... but perhaps that was not the proper thing to do. She was not his sister and she wasn't the same as her. She was different, a lot different. "Anyway, onward?"

Ky's ears pinned back as she sighed and looked away. He didn't understand anything she was saying or hinting at, it hurt. His mind was else-where. She nodded and moved forward, wordless.

"Me!? I'm on and off?" He questioned, rushing up beside her, lowering his head to look at her from the side, uncertain if she was going to look back at him. "I wanted to be sweet on you. Then you told me that I should be, so I wasn't going to. Now you are telling me I am on and off? ... okay, maybe I am only because you said so. What about you? What's your excuse?" He scowled and stopped, looking at her. If she was going to go, she could, but that wasn't going to stop him from following her.

"You shouldn't listen to me!" She snarled, hissing at him. "You can't just be sweet on me and then stop just because I tell you it's not right to, you make me feel like i'm really not worth it at all." She frowned. "You need to say; "No, your worth being sweet to." -- something like that! Not, "OKAY BYE."--" she could hardly look at him, she was blushing so hard. "Forget it." She ached. "Lets just find your damn sister--"

"You just piss me off. It's such bullshit." She swore. "You just want someone to hang around while you look for your 'poor' sister; you'll leave me right when you find her. Why the ******** should i help you or go with you." She titled her head at him and frowned. "I'm only this way because you made it so."


"I want you around because you seemed so trouble before. Is it wrong that I would keep myself nearby in case you needed someone to talk to our a shoulder to cry on? As for me, maybe I am keeping you around for company, someone to talk to, to mess with, to be with, but know this, Ky, I am not going to just leave you once I find Yorick. You can't find your brother. If we find my sister, then the least I can do is help you find your brother." He replied. He was certain and sincere about what he said. But what she did, saying the way she was because of him was ridiculous. "And, HOW is that my fault?"


"Maybe I took your kindness as something more." She snarled and turned herself from him. "Forgive me for falling for you, i'll try to refrain!" She stood up and huffed, looking away.
