Bad day? Ha. That was an understatement. She'd dreaded the second her protector and the rest of her family got home this morning. When they did 'Why did you do,Kilah?!'s and 'You should've been more careful!'s and of course 'What were you thinking?!'s immediatly came her way from various parties. It was beyond aggravating.
She knew she'd gotten that spell right! It wasn't her fault that house had caught on fire and burned down! One of her siblings obviously messed with her things. Switched the lids or something. She knew it. There was no way she'd gotten it wrong herself!
It hadn't taken long for her to storm off with Gizmo, yelling profanity over her shoulder toward all of them--except Lucky who would beat her a** into the ground for it, of course. As they went the griff had prodded her that maybe it was her fault, and already enraged the Sin'aeis had demanded he leave before she 'kicked him or something'.
It was when he wasn't there she realized how important her 'eye dog' was. It started when she tripped and cut her arm. Damn sticks. Well, branches, it was no stick that had caused the big gash in her arm she was no holding with the uninjured one as she sat against some tree in the middle of who-knew-where.
Finally, to top it off it was raining. Cold ran. The leaves were a bit of a shield, but far from perfect. Too angry to focus on walking along and doubtful she'd get anywhere anyway, she sat where she was and occasionally reached her hands up to fix the damn blindfold over her eyes. Er, well, over where her eyes would've been anyway...

Maelon, on the other hand, was having quite a good day. Chibi was a hell of a lot happier now that his boyfriend was back, and that in turn had made everyone else happier. His little brother wasn't whining and crying anymore (thank God) and Ray could come and spend some time with him instead of being forced to tend to the wibbling toddler. Stupid kid. Didn't he realize that the kitsune would be back soon enough? He really was as dumb as he looked. And with Havok back and everything smooth, he was finally allowed outside the house. Damn, it had taken them all long enough.
Adjusting his blue hat, the dark chocolate boy Sin'aeis allowed his garter snake to wind his way up the Sin's sleeve, obviously seeking warmth. While others would have found the thought of having a snake crawling around inside your clothes a little more than unnerving, Mae couldn't bring himself to care. He'd only bring the snake out when he wanted to sit down, and only because he didn't want to squish the reptile. He didn't mind if the serpent was in his shirt. After all, it was warm in there and the snake was probably cold. It benefited the little thing.
Not really paying attention to where he was wandering, Mae suddenly stopped as the first rain drops ran off the edge of his hat. Raining? Damn. That sucked. Purple eyes scanned the area for the nearest shelter, before spotting a little niche in the roots of a tall oak tree. Perfect. Making his way towards his chosen spot, he snuggled himself in, deciding to wait the rain out. It was no use getting wet. It would stop raining soon anyways. Warm and dry in his little hidey-hole, Maelon let his gaze wander. Wait a minute... what was that? Squinting against the rain, he raised an eyebrow. Was that...Akilah?

Even with her naturally 'advanced' hearing and her ability together neither stood a chance against something more powerful than any of her senses: rage. She had a whole lot of it by then, and even more when a branch above her suddenly snapped off and fell on her head, pulling both her hat and blindfold off. Well, that was just great now wasn't it?
Rising to her feet, the screaming of various curse words in random order than made no sense confirmed it was in fact Akilah. Had she brought her dagger she probably would've stabbed the damn tree, but alas every weapon she had was forgotten.
So now her blindfold was off, revealing where her eyes use to be, something she tried hard to hide up until then. Her hat was probably blown out of reach too, and damn she liked that thing! Her arm was still bleeding and there was a damn bump on her head. Just... damn. ********!
Of course, had she taken the time to calm down she would've been able to retrieve both her hat and blindfold easily--as both had been stuck under the branch just a few inches from her.

It was Akilah! Purple eyes narrowed, as he stared disdainfully at the blind girl. Che. Look at her. Where was her little gryphon? Maybe she had killed that thing too. He wouldn't have been surprised. She was a violent chicken. Watching her with an air of superiority, he couldn't help but grin as a branch fell from above onto her head. Nice one! Ten points for the trees! Maelon sniggered helplessly at the sight of her screaming and flailing like a little toddler. Damn this was great! Where was his camera? She was probably looking for her hat too. Silly chicken, it was right in front of her!
Deciding that he'd observed enough for now, Mae got steadily to his feet, before moving towards Akilah. Once he felt he was a safe enough distance away from her not to get mauled - that would not be cool - he spoke. "Oh yeah. Of course blind people aren't helpless." For most, this wouldn't have seemed like a very terrible insult. However, it had been the cause of their first "epic battle" in which Maelon had bit Kilah and the female Sin had punched him. It was quite a mocking insult. Leering at her, he waited for the explosion. >3

(Gee, what COULD you be implying? ninja )
Twitch. Okay. Bad move. It could've been Mignon that walked up and she probably would've attacked her for saying 'hello'. Angry Kilah. Very angry. The fact she so calmly kicked the branch aside was creepy merely because such a thing was foreign to this girl. Managing to locate her blindfold, she covered her eyes and tied it tightly in the back.
Tight enough? Yes. Good. Now then.
Turning around sharply, she keenly listened to Mae's chatter and surprised even herself by how well she was able to target his voice--especially over the rain. Launching forward, she tackled the boy and swung roughly at his face. "You still bite, chocolate moron?"

Still watching her smugly, he folded his arms over his chest, purple eyes narrowed. Bring it. He was in the mood to fight. Slipping his sweatshirt over his head, he tossed it back towards the hidey-hole. That would keep his snake safe. He didn't want the reptile to get damaged when they were fighting. That would be terrible! Turning back to face Akilah, he stuck his tongue out at her. Heck, he didn't care if she couldn't see. He was still being rude, and it rocked.
Her sudden leap made him take a step back, yelping when her punch hit him in the chest. Apparently, she had misjudged his height. Out of balance, he grabbed her shirt sleeve, pulling her down with him. Stupid chicken! Fighting in the rain stank! Growling, he did the only thing that came naturally: Bite. Whatever was the closest would do. He had fangs.

That answered that. Maybe she shouldn't have asked. This kind of reminded her of that time her sister had drug her to the zoo and said there was a sign warning to not put your hand by the animals because they'd bite you. An odd thing to think about in the middle of a fight.
"You sissy!" Kilah spat, pulling her slightly bleeding hand back. Who BIT people in fights anymore?! That was like pulling hair--totally uncool! So, again she attempted to do what came naturally for her. Punch. Punch a lot.

Yes! Blood! He'd made contact! Spitting to get the taste out of his mouth - blood didn't taste good - he growled again when Kilah called him a 'sissy.' That did it! He wasn't putting up with this stupid girl anymore! He was going to fight her for good! Nobody could get in their way this time! "Attention whore! Stupid blind chicken! Dumb girl!" At this point, any insult would do. She had called him a sissy! That was not cool! He was going to beat the living tar out of her! Flailing and rolling in response to her punching, the contest soon became a contest of who could remain on top, and thus had the upper hand in the punching, kicking and biting contest. Crazy kids.

The lightning cackled in the sky as the fighting continued. It seemed like a real war to the two of them, probably, but the majority of adults would've laughed at them punching and biting and whatever else like that. Childish? Maybe...
Kilah kicked him away and attempted to punch him again, but her hand stopped half way and drew back--as did she--due to the sudden noise. The earlier mentioned lightning had hit that damn tree and knocked another branch down. As luck would have it, it had fallen dangerously close to them both and only then did Kilah take notice of how hard it was raining.
Making a face, she wiped the blood off her arm and grunted. Great.

Maelon was so focused in on his fight that he failed to notice the lightning that crackled above. Had he not been so intent on being the crap out of Akilah, he would have realized the danger they were in. Hiding from a lighting storm in a forest was never a very good idea. He wasn't stupid; he'd read the books and seen it on TV. He certainly didn't intend to get fried by lightning. However, all knowledge had been tucked away in some hidden corner of his brain, everything focused on fighting. It felt strange. He'd never really been in a real fist fight before. It was definitely better for getting out his anger than writing or drawing.
The tree branch that fell so close to him made him jump, whirling around to look at it. Holy s**t. They were in the middle of the forest in a lightning storm! This was dangerous! Glaring at Kilah as though it was her fault - which in his mind, it was - he put a hand up to gingerly touch his bleeding lip. Damn that kid hit hard. He was just about to say something when approaching footsteps caused him to look up sharply.
"Maelon! What are you doing out here?!"
It was Havok. The kitsune wasted no time in hauling both Sin's back to their feet, and physically shoving them in the direction of the house. There was really no room for anything else. Once inside, the two were promptly shoved onto kitchen stools and wrapped in towels. Maru took over after that, tending to all the injuries the pair had acquired from fighting in the mud. Mugs of hot chocolate were set on the table, before the Sin'aeis children were left alone.
Mae took a sip out of his mug sullenly, glaring at Akilah out of the corner of his eye. Stupid chicken. He was definitely going to have a black eye because of her.

Surprisingly, Kilah said nothing as the stranger pushed her around, and remained silent even when she could hear more of them around. She was no longer capable of glaring at anyone, but that didn't stop her from making faces. Partially at Maelon, and partially at the smell the mug infront of her let off.
She'd never been exposed to chocolate that wasn't in the form of another Sin'aeis. Not being use to it she thought it smelled weird and chances are looked it, too. Besides, if she didn't trust him why would she trust his family? Probably poisoned. That or she was paranoid...
"You shouldn't bite people, but you still fight better than Aard," she admitted darkly. She may be a semi-psychotic chicken girl, but she only said what she meant.

Mae was sorely tempted to respond with 'well you shouldn't be a stupid girl', but Maru was around somewhere and he'd get into trouble later. He was already going to be in trouble for fighting, and he didn't need to add being rude to that list. Even if it was to Akilah. Taking another sip of the hot chocolate, he finally said sourly. "Yeah, well if you learned how to judge height after a few punches you'd be pretty good." There. It wasn't a compliment. Sticking out his tongue at her, he poked idly at the marshmallows that were floating in his hot chocolate. "Besides, biting is my style, like punching is yours."

Had it been an option, she'd have rolled her eyes. Instead, she settled for a 'psh'. Biting was for sissys. It wasn't a 'style'. You were SUPPOSE to punch when you fought! Though she was beginning to feel more and more like she was right and he was wrong, she let it go as far as saying anything. You didn't want to go slugging people again in their house.
Still, she wasn't about to sit in silence, though she wasn't completely sure what to say... "Was that your protector who pushed us here?" Kilah finally asked, not really interested, but it was something to talk about right?

Mae growled in response to her dismissal, looking behind him before a rude gesture was sent in her direction. Che. She was so dumb sometimes. Punching wasn't everything in a fight. Biting caused more damage anyways, especially when you have sharp teeth. And besides, what did chickens know about fighting? Her element practically screamed sissy. So there. He let the silence reign again, sipping dully at his hot chocolate. Why did Havok bring Kilah back with them? What was he THINKING?! The kid would probably... I dunno, eat Sachiya or something. Not that that was a bad thing, now that he thought about it. But anyways.
Her question made him blink, before he shook his head. "Naw. He's the lover of my other protector. My protector's a wuss. He wouldna gone out in the storm."

Flipped her off, probably. The only reason she guessed is because he seemed so much like her (one and only) brother it was scarey--and flipping her off is what he'd have done. Oh well. The kid lucked out because they were at his house. Honestly, she wasn't sure why she'd been drug here either, but certainly didn't have plans to eat anyone anyway.
"Ah, so they're ********, huh?" Yay Kilah vocabulary. "Still better than Noyama," she said sourly, mostly to herself, making another face at the floor. Noyama probably would've been playing in the rain or...something. She was so stupid. "Seems bossy. Guess he does that a lot with you. My teacher is like that with me." Noyama didn't make her do anything, but she more than made up for that. Probably the one person she'd listen to, Lucky.
