Kuan: -Blinks as he wonders why he is out here- .

Thor: *Circles Kuan and looks him over, making sure that he's not a threat. Believes Kuan to be a girl*

Kuan: -Feels nervous under Thor's stare- I-is there something wrong?

Thor: That depends *Sits down in front of Kuan* on if you plan on trying to attack me

Kuan: -Quickly shakes his head- No, I would never try to attack someone, especially someone I don't know.

Thor: Good *Flicks his tails and figures he should introduce himself* I'm Thor

Kuan: It's nice to meet you Thor. My name is Kuan, Kuan-Yin.

Thor: *Eyes Kuan's tails and fans out his own* You a Pokemir too? Or half one?

Kuan: -Tilts his head in confusion- Pokemir? What's a pokemir?

Thor: *Rolls his eyes* Namrah like me *Tails spark as he shows off*

Kuan: -Feels stupid at the eye rolling, and then jumps at the sparking- Oh, no. -Shakes his head- I don't think I'm a pokemir.

Thor: *Ears perk slightly in interest, though he tries to hide it* But your tails *Stares at them like that explains it all*

Kuan: My tails? -Looks back at his swishing tails- They are just tails. They don't do anything like yours.

Thor: But normal Namrah only have one

Kuan: Does that mean I am not normal?

Thor: Yep

Kuan: Oh.. -Ears fall- Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Thor: *Raises a brow* That depends, would you rather be boring like most other Namrah? Or special? *Smirks and fans out his tail* Like me

Kuan: Well..I guess being special is a good thing, but not all normal namrah are boring.

Thor: All the ones I met have been *Shrugs*

Kuan: -Blinks- So if I was normal you would think I am boring?

Thor: *Shrugs* I might, I might not. Can't say since you're not normal. Besides, special Namrah can still be boring, just not as often *Tilts his head* And since I don't know, I can't tell if you're boring yet or not

Kuan: Well.. -scratches his head- Others seems to be surprised when I tell them what I want to be when I grow up, so I guess that is not boring.

Thor: What is it that you want to be?

Kuan: Well -wiggles his paws- I want to be a Geisha.

Thor: A Geisha? *Blinks* What's that?

Kuan: They are like...entertainers and artists. People pay them to spend the night with them at places. They sing, play music, talk to them, dance, etc.

Thor: *Looks puzzled* Why would you want to do that?

Kuan: -Blinks- I don't really know. I just have always wanted to since I was little. Maybe cause it will make me feel like I am important or wanted or something.

Thor: Entertaining someone would make you feel important? *Shakes his head, still puzzled* Well, whatever floats your boat

Kuan: It is not really the whole entertaining thing, it is the fact that maybe being there and keeping them company can make them feel a little bit better and make them happy, and the fact that they want me to be there with them may make me feel a bit better too.

Thor: *Wonders if Kuan is honestly this nice, but then frowns a little since Kuan kind of reminds him of his mom* What would you do if someone tried to take advantage of you?

Kuan: -Ears flick up and down at the question- I'm not sure about that. I guess I would feel bad about refusing to see them again, but if I gets too bad then I really won't have a choice, will I?

Thor: You'd feel bad for turning away someone that's trying to take advantage of you? *Shakes his head* That's stupid. They're only out to serve their own needs and use you, they certainly wouldn't care about your feelings. If they did, they wouldn't be trying to use you *Tails spark in irritation at the thought of something like that happening*

Kuan: -Frowns and stares at his paws, ears falling- I'm sorry if I sound like an idiot. I guess maybe I am too nice and trusting of others, and just welcome company to easily.

Thor: *Sighs while feeling guilt tugging at him* Look, being nice isn't bad, it's just that you don't want to be to trusting. It'll get you hurt...and there's nothing wrong with wanting company

Kuan: But..I can't really help it. I haven't really met anyone who is mean or made me mad, but then again I haven't met many Namrah or been very social.

Thor: *Raises a brow* I'm mean *Shrugs* And that's something we have in common then, I don't really talk with Namrah outside of my family

Kuan: -Shrugs- If you say so. You made a mean comment here and there, I will give you that.

Thor: *Feels somewhat offended, sulks a little* I made many mean comments

Kuan: -Blinks in confusion- ..Okay, you made a lot of mean comments towards me and others. Do you like being mean?

Thor: *Smirks* Yep

Kuan: Oh..why?

Thor: Because I don't want others to like me *Shrugs* Be harder to beat the s**t out of them for hurting someone I care about if I like them

Kuan: Then how can you make friends, or find someone to love? If you want everyone to hate you, then you can't have any of that.

Thor: *Looks sad for a moment, quietly says* I know that... *Shakes his head, hiding the sadness behind a mask of cockiness* I don't need it

Kuan: But, you can't really be alone for the rest of your life, can you?

Thor; *Nods* Yes, I can *Stands and stretches* I'm going to head home *Smirks* See you later

Kuan: -Tilts his head at the smirk- Oh, okay then. It was nice meeting you, even if you were mean.

Thor: Oh, you'll be seeing a lot more of me *Starts to walk off, his tails flicking* If you aren't going to look out for those that just want to use you, I'm going to do it for you

Kuan: -Eyes widen in surprise- But I thought you wanted everyone to hate you. You don't protect someone you want to hate you.

Thor: *Snorts* I can protect you and make you hate me at the same time. *Slips out the doggy door to head home*

Kuan: -Bites his lips as he watches Thor leave and wonders if this will turn out to be good or bad-

Kuan: -Tails wag around happily while he looks out a window and watches the rabbits playing outside-

Thor: *Yawns as he walks the halls, his ears perking when he picks up a familiar scent. Follows the scent*

Kuan: -Giggles, his tails wagging even further, finding amusement at the rabbits hopping around and chasing each other-

Thor: *Smirks when he comes upon Kuan. Walks over and takes a seat beside him* What are you watching?

Kuan: Huh? -Ears perk at a familiar voice. Looks around until her spots Thor- Oh, hello there. There are some rabbits playing outside!

Thor: Rabbits? *Leans over to get a look* Huh

Kuan: -Nods and scoots over so Thor can get a look- See? They are been out there for some time now.

Thor: Really? Normally they just do their thing and move on *Can't help but chuckle at the rabbits*

Kuan: -Smiles when Thor chuckles since he has never seen any real positive type attitude from the male- Maybe their home is nearby.

Thor: Yeah, maybe *Watches the rabbits a moment longer, vaguely reminded of his sisters. Pulls back before he can take a trip down memory lane*

Kuan: -Hops away from the window feeling all happy and hyper- So why are you here today?

Thor: *Shrugs* Looking for entertainment, looks like you get to be it

Kuan: Entertainment? I'm not sure if I am all that entertaining.

Thor: *Raises a brow* Don't you want to be a Geisha?

Kuan: -Shrugs- I am not so sure anymore since everyone keeps saying I can't be one.

Thor: Why do you care what others say?

Kuan: -Paws at the ground and shrugs- I can't help it...

Thor: I'd hire you

Kuan: -Looks up at Thor with surprise- What?

Thor: *Raises a brow like it should be obvious* I said I'd hire you *Doesn't quite grasp what a Geisha does*

Kuan: Oh, well uh..W-why would you hire me?

Thor: Why wouldn't I?

Kuan: I don't know. You said you don't want anyone to like you, so I would think you wouldn't like me.

Thor: *Waves a paw in the air* What's that got to do with me hiring you?

Kuan: You wouldn't really hire someone you don't like, right? Even if it is out of pity, you wouldn't pity hire someone you don't care about.

Thor: *Grunts, not willing to concede to Kuan's logic and admit that he's right*

Kuan: Is that a good grunt, or a bad grunt?

Thor: *Shrugs* You pick

Kuan: What if I am wrong? What do I do then? If you don't like me, then..you can just leave. You don't have to hang around with me.

Thor: *Raises a brow as if silently saying, "And yet, here I am"*

Kuan: -Looks down at the ground, feeling a bit stupid at the moment-

Thor: Don't worry about it

Kuan: Are you sure?

Thor: Yeah, just go with the flow *Shrugs* What I think shouldn't matter anyways, it's your life

Kuan: I know it is my life, but..I don't want my life be to filled with people who dislike me. If it is then..I'll be alone again...

Thor: I'm still here, so you're not alone now

Kuan: -Nods- That's true. And I still have Kristen, so I guess I am not so alone like I was before.

Thor: I'm sure you'll get more friends and stuff as time goes on

Kuan: I'm not so sure. I don't really spend a lot of time outside the building...

Thor: Why not?

Kuan: I guess I just have no reason to try and leave the building.

Thor: Why?

Kuan: -Blinks and looks around- I..really have no idea. I just haven't, and never really wanted to.

Thor: You should give it a try. Life can get boring if all you're doing it watching through a window

Kuan: What if you are just kind of content sitting behind the window?

Thor: Then what's the point of life?

Kuan: -Shrugs- What's the point of living a life if you will end up with no one to spend it with? If I do have a life, then I guess life will give me someone even if I go on thinking I don't have one and spend it inside.

Thor: How can you find that someone without going beyond the window?

Kuan: I don't know. -Just sits and smiles a little sad smile- Life has a funny way to helping people meet up. Like when Kristen first found me and ended up taking me in.

Thor: But life isn't always going to toss people your way. Sometimes you have to find them on your own

Kuan: And sometimes you are not always going to find them if you are looking for them, or if you go out and go through others like they are clothes on a rack at a sale and you are looking for that perfect pair of jeans or something.

Thor: *Looks confused at the sales reference, then shrugs* Eh, do what you want

Kuan: I will. Why do you care anyways?

Thor: I never said I did *Has no intention of letting on that he does... on purpose anyways*

Kuan: Well you never said you didn't either...

Thor: *Shrugs and then leans over to look out the window again*

Kuan: -Fidgets in his spot and stares at the ceiling- Which is it?

Thor: Which is what?

Kuan: Do you care, or don't you? You don't have to answer, but you words say you might, but the air around you says you don't.

Thor: Funny thing isn't it? When you don't know which to believe

Kuan: -Slowly nods and looks up at Thor for a second- Yeah, it really is. Looks like I will just go on wondering about it then.

Thor: Who knows, maybe one day you'll get your answer *Looks back at Kuan* Your rabbits have left

Kuan: What? -Quickly shoots over to the window and frowns when he sees nothing but trees and grass. Sighs and pouts- I hope they come back some time. They were really cute.

Thor: Why don't you go find them?

Kuan: I don't want to go bothering them, or scare them away. They might have gone to bed, or gone to find food.

Thor: Or to play elsewhere *Shrugs and decided not to tack on the last bit*

Kuan: Well if I do go out and try to find them then will you come with me?

Thor: *Shrugs again* I haven't got anything better to do

Kuan: Alright. -Looks around and points down the hall before trotting down it- I think there is a door to the back down there.

Thor: *Looks back out the window and then trots after Kuan* You think?

Kuan: Yes. You know, like you know, but just aren't so sure.

Thor: *Rolls his eyes* One generally know where all the doors are in the place that they live

Kuan: Oh, -ears fall a bit- I'm sorry for not knowing then? Probably makes me seem a bit slow.

Thor: *Grunts* Don't worry about it, it doesn't matter

Kuan: -Blinks and looks back at Thor- Does anything really matter to you?

Thor: Lots of things, I just never mention if it does

Kuan: You know they say it is unhealthy to keep things locked up inside, right?

Thor: It's also unhealthy to let others know what matters to you.

Kuan: Eventually you have to let something out at some point you know. -Ears perk as he spots the little doggy door to the backyard-

Thor: I do, around my family *Points at the doggy door* That is?

Kuan: -Smiles a bit- That's nice that you can have family on your side. -Nods- Yep. That's it. -Scampers over and easily slips through the door-

Thor: *Pushes through the door and then shakes himself* See them anywhere? *Sniffs at the air*

Kuan: Uh.. -Stands up on the balls of his paws and looks around- I don't think so.. I wonder where they ran off to.

Thor: Come on *Sniffs at the ground to try and track the rabbits*

Kuan: Okay. -Tilts his head and follows after Thor, wondering if he is some kind of tracking dog or something-

Thor: *Ears perk* They're this way *Makes his way towards some bushes*

Kuan: How do you know they are over there?

Thor: I can smell them *Puts a paw to his mouth* Shhh *Quietly peeks around the bush to see the rabbits rolling around together*

Kuan: -Wiggles through and peeks behind Thor. Whispers- You are really good at tracking things.

Thor: *Nods, whispers* Now watch *Settles back to let Kuan watch the rabbits*

Kuan: -Tails wag excitedly as he watches the rabbits play around again. Places a paw over his mouth to stifle a giggle so he doesn't frighten the rabbits away-

Thor: *Watches Kuan and wonders how something so simple could make someone seem so happy. Smiles a little and figures that he'll never know the answer*

Kuan: -Ears perk as he remembers something. Looks over at Thor and smiles a little- Thank you for doing this.

Thor: *Blinks in surprise* Oh, sure. No problem

Kuan: -Tilts his head a bit and stares at Thor- Why do you seem surprised?

Thor: *Shrugs* Don't get thanked often

Kuan: Well that is kind of rude. Someone should always thank someone when they do something for them, even if it is small.

Thor: I don't do stuff for people

Kuan: Oh..well that explains it then.

Thor: Your rabbits leave?

Kuan: -Peeks through the bush to find them gone again- It looks like it. No surprise since it is late anyway.

Thor: Come on then, we should get you back inside *Stands and stretches*

Kuan: -Smiles and nods- Alright! Thanks again.

Thor: No problem *Flicks his tail and begins heading towards the main building*

Thor: *Tromping through the snow, grumbling under his breath*

Kuan: -Tails wag around, the front of his body in his tree trunk hole home which he is currently trying to clean out-

Thor: *Stops when sees a familiar figure up ahead, or more specifically, that figures rear. Stops and stares, trying to figure out if Kuan was being devoured by the tree. Pads over, reaching out to poke the other male's backside*

Kuan: -Ears perk straight up as he lets out a squeak and quickly backs up and spins around to see who poked him. Wide eyes blink in confusion and surprise at the sight of the familiar male- Oh, hello there.

Thor: Hi *Avoids looking Kuan in the eyes as he looks into the tree* What are you doing?

Kuan: -Nods- Yes, I do. -Ears flick around- You aren't still...you know, about..that thing, are you?

Thor: *Lets his thoughts wander off, frowning at the thought of Kuan living in a tree. Snaps back at the sound of Kuan's voice* Still what?

Kuan: -Sighs and whispers- The whole..girl thing.

Thor: Oh yeah... *Clears his throat* It's uh, all fine.

Kuan: -Puts on a smile, but frowns slightly on the inside- Are you sure? I know it was..a shock and full of awkwardness..

Thor: I'm sure *Nods and smirks at him* Just forget about it Kuan

Kuan: -Eyes the smirk before nodding and smiling for real- Alright then! What have you been up to since then? You seemed to have vanished.

Thor: I was doing some... thinking you could say. *Looks back to the hole* Want help?

Kuan: Huh? -looks back at his tree home, then shakes his head- It'll be fine as it is. We should use this time to catch up or something. We haven't seen each other in a while now.

Thor: Catch up? Sure *Looks around, then shrugs and plops right down in the snow* Anything new and exciting in your world?

Kuan: Not much besides growing up and moving out on my own. It can be lonely at times, but still nice, though..not so much now with winter being here..

Thor: Why don't you find warmer shelter?

Kuan: -Stares in surprise, his head slowly tilting to the side- ..Stay with you and your sister?

Thor: *Looks off to the side* Yeah, was live in a cave, it's big enough for several Namrah to live in and it's connect to a hot spring, so its warm.

Kuan: A-are you sure you want to just offer up to open your place like that?

Thor: Yeah, I mean, you are my friend after all.

Kuan: O-oh, alright then. I mean..I don't want to be a burden or anything, b-but if you are sure, then..

Thor: *Flicks a tail in agitation* If I wasn't sure I wouldn't ask. Now, grab your stuff.

Kuan: -Gives a quick nod before shooting in to the tree and coming back a moment later with a bundled up blanket-

Thor: That all of it?

Kuan: Yes, I think so. I don't have a lot of stuff, so there isn't much to really take with me.

Thor: Alright, follow me *Turns and starts walking, essentially in the same direction that Ryo and Kevin's special hot spring lies*

Kuan: -Quickly follows after Thor while making sure to stick close as to not get lost or fall behind- Is it far from here?

Thor: *Shakes his head* No, it's close by. We wanted to stay close to our family *Shrugs*

Kuan: Oh. -Tails flick- Do you seem them often, or at least some of them?

Thor: *Nods* Yes, I do *Looks back at Kuan* Like I said, I live with one of my sisters

Kuan: Well, I meant besides her I guess?

Thor: *Shrugs* I see them when I want to see them, generally when I need help with something or just want to hang out.

Kuan: Alright. Do you think your sister will mind me staying with you two?

Thor: Aire's cool, she won't mind *Steps up to a rock wall and then points at a cave* In there *Slips inside, lanterns hanging from the wall to light their way*

Kuan: -Peeks in to cave and looks around for a minute before following after Thor-

Thor: *Leads him into a large cavern fill with soft green moss. Lanterns are nailed to the wall to light the place up. In the back corner of the carven, steam can be seen rising from the water. And strangely enough, in the other back down can be seen a creek of cool shallow water that runs down the wall, then loops back into it at the bottom. Resting in the cool water are stone shapped like bowls that hold nuts, fruit, and other foods. Resting over the entrance to the cavern is a blanket that's pinned back. When windy or extra cold, the blanket can be dropped to trap the inside the cave.* Make yourself at home *Shrugs and points at an area with a nest made out of dark blue blankets and a couple of trunks rests* That's my spot

Kuan: -Eyes widen in awe as he slowly creeps forward, his wide eyes scanning the cave with amazement. Ears flicking as being broken from his spell, he gives a quick nod- Alright, thank you. -Finds himself an open spot along the side where he rests his stuff and starts to settle everything out-
Thor: *Watches Kuan while wondering how this will go. Half excited for the male to be here, and then half afraid*

Kuan: -Messes with his blankets until they are in the shape of his liking. Sighing, he looks over his shoulder, blinking when he finds Thor watching him, smiles- Is there something wrong?

Thor: *Blushes when he realizes he was caught staring* No, nothing's wrong

Kuan: -Tilts his head slightly- You sure? You seem to be going red...or is that orange?

Thor: *Stiffens at the thought of himself blushing* I'm fine, just, don't worry about it *Move over to hide in his nest*

Kuan: -Ears drop slightly in worry, but he doesn't push- Okay, if you say so. -Climbs within his blankets and circles around a few times before settling down and curling up, his tails curling around him for extra warmth-

Thor: *Looks over at Kuan, his head resting on the edge of his nest. Smiles a little as he finds his actions adorable* Cold?

Kuan: Huh? -Lifts his head from his balled up self and looks over at Thor- A little bit, why?

Thor: *Flicks an ear while mulling something over. Shrugs and smirks* You can come curl up with me if you want

Kuan: -Blushes a deep red at the offer- C-cu-curl up with you?

Thor: *Nods* It'd keep you warm *Shrugs* Though if you don't want to curl up with me, I'd understand

Kuan: -Looks around in a nervous manner while thinking the offer over. Biting his lips, he slips out of his blankets and quickly trots over to Thor's area of the cave-

Thor: *Ears perk in surprise at the fact that Kuan accepted the offer. Shifts to make room for Kuan*

Kuan: -Carefully and awkwardly climbs in to the nest and curls up in the open space- ..Thank you.

Thor: You're welcome *Stares at Kuan, then decides the best way to find out everything is just to dive in. Shifts closer to Kuan, so their sides are pressed together, then curls around the other male while fighting off a blush*

Kuan: -Stiffins for a second at the feeling of Thor pressing close to him, but then relaxes, his tails curling around himself once more as he makes himself comfortable-

Thor: *Flicks his ears as he mulls over the feeling that rises up, realizing that his dad and Alisa were right. Doesn't matter that Kuan's a guy, the feelings are still there.* Better?

Kuan: -Flick an ear and opens an eye to look back at Thor, nods- Much better.

Thor: Good *Smiles a little* Go ahead and sleep.

Kuan: -Sighs and rests his head back down, his eyes closing tighter while he drifts off in to rest-

Thor: *Watches as Kuan drifts off while smiling. Leans in and softly nuzzles at his head before relaxing to drift off himself*
