Welcome to Gaia! ::

Private RP between Uzi (ladyumbra) & Kaosu ( count Kaosu)
Location: Wastelands, Burned-Out Warehouse?
Time: late evening
Weather: cloudless, moonlit, chilly.

The atmosphere within Eli's home was stifling, too many people, talking too much and far too much emotion flowing between them. Uzi did not like abandoning it's owner but the essentic was of no use to him right now anyways. Besides there were many things the proto's mind and it needed time and space to think them through.

Which was how the armored being ended up in the wasetlands again, not really hunting but prowling around and scaring the local wildlife with it's frequent low distressed rumbles. Uzi's dimly glowing yellow eyes only showed any real brightly and life when the essentic picked up a familiar scent. Kaosu was perhaps not the most positive acquaintance Uzi had made but the proto had been interested in him and Eli had not express forbid the hunter from seeking him out.

Tracking him was easy enough and it was with only mild wariness that the tawny coloured paused upon reached an old run down and burnt out warehouse.

Uzi wondered perhaps if Eli had been right about this man, at least a dozen cats lived here, by the smell of it and the essentic recalled that crazy people sometimes hoarded animals. Then again Kaosu might merely enjoy surrounding himself with other predators, ones easily tamed. For the moment Uzi remained still letting the demon catch sight of it, the combat proto meant no harm right now and figured it was best to show that by letting Kaosu come to it.

"I want to continue the conversation from before" Uzi explained tail flicking back and forth as the essentic spoke. " I want to be better than those who died in the Hunt." If anything ever happened, if Uzi's generation of essentics were somehow revealed to the public the hunter did not want to die easily defending itself or Eli. Though Uzi's own pride was at stake as well and the proto was not meant to body guard the essentic did not like the idea of it's owner.. it's bonded being hurt nevermind dying.

Uzi gave a soft rumble that could have been a sigh " It is not that I wish to hunt my own kind so much that I want to know our flaws, where we failed enough that we were all destroyed." While another essentic might be an interesting challenge it would serve no purpose to kill one. The lion like creature flicked it's small ears back and forth ans it paced in front of kaosu." I am not Eli, I am Uzi, I should not be responsible for his actions towards you."

Uzi nodded, golden main shaking as the big cat did so. Uxi knew it was not the ultimate hunter and that while stories were interesting and could provide small tidbits of information and trivia that might be helpful later they did not make it better. Only more practice could help the proto hone the skills born into it due to it's purpose. It had already proven deadly to several animals since it's emergence, the hare it's spark had killed not counting.

" Examples of things I can actually avoid doing " Uzi could not and certainly would not deny the full potential that lay inside it even if the essentic was unsure of what that was. The proto wanted to be stronger and faster and develop skills that would dwarf those of any hunter ever known, it was part of their core desire weather personality or programmed. Uzi wanted to be the best and that meant not falling prey to the things that had destroyed the first generation.

Uzi pondered the idea of masking it's strength as the the essentic followed Kaosu. It was possible to complete hunts without going to the utmost limits when humans were watching. Then again Uzi trusted Eli, they were partners, bonded, Eli would never betray them.

The idea was stuck in the yellow eyed essentic's head now though, what if Eli did turn, became jealous or fearful of Uzi's skills? After all The armoured cat was made to hunt and battle and in general was simply better created than the naturally born human. What if Eli began to hate that, perhaps some caution was a good idea.

The pro gave hiss and laid it's ears back at the description of the mine, it sounded as though even it's armour was not adequate to deal with this threat. It barely smelled at all and had been well hidden, Uzi was no match for such a thing and it distressed the essentic especially with the idea of betrayal fresh in it's young vulnerable mind.

" I have underestimated the power human's have" Or moreover the weapons they could wield.

Uzi extended and retracted it's claws, humans were dangerous, the military was dangerous only family was safe and yet.. essentics were not family even ones with rooms of their own. Somehow coming here had not helped ease the distressed proto's mind at all, in fact it had only added to the list of things they were thinking about. The combat type wondered how Lauss didn't explode from so much thinking. "I will find a way to survive" Uzi stated with less certainty than it felt. Though this only made the essence born being think about true life and souls and all those damned confusing things again.

" Hunting is not chance it is skill, my skills will become superior to theirs" The words were a loud echoing rumble the essentics sense of pride currently outweighing any other thoughts in it's mind. Uzi's eyes flashed brightly " I will not allow myself to be killed." The combat type would bush it self to the very limits of it's bodies capabilities, Uzi would become the better hunter and even humans with their weapons would be no match.
