Gwin: -sits on the edge of the Ruins lake, dipping her toes in the darkened shore while the wind played with her rainbow locks. It was her day off, and though she would usually spend it inside painting or hanging out with remi... she had the unrelenting urge to head to the lake.-

Impulse: -pads listlessly through the Ruins, hands in the pockets of his baggy, rainbow-hued hoodie, his hair undyed for once -- a straight silver, hanging free and billowing over his shoulders. He spies someone near the lake and curiously creeps forwards, ears pulling back. When he got closer, he realized it was Gwin and his nerves dissipated as he stood behind her, lurking- H-Hi there, Gwin. How're you doing?

Gwin: -blinks, startled out of wherever her brain had taken her, and peeks upward, to spy... the silver haired Impulse. She smiled, it was getting better now... she was trying to get her normal smile back.- Im alright, just needed time to think and get out for a bit... Just wishing for some company, yourself?

Impulse: -her smile is contageous because he smiles too, a broad smile that stretches over his face- Mind if I join you, then? -motions to her spot sitting, dangling her feet in the water, hesitating still- I'm alright. Marshall's out and about. I was tired of being cooped up in the room. You can only play video games so many times before your hands cramp up -giggles-

Gwin: -laughs- yeah I would assume so, seems like we both need a break. -gestures to the spot next to her, stretching her feet in the water, and adjusting the strap of her tank top- You guys seem like a happy couple, its good to see once in awhile. Being around Alice and Dhiren all the time... I'm surprised I even recognize a healthy relationship anymore.

Impulse: -kicks off his shoes and flops ungracefully down next to her, his feet landing in the water with a splash and he giggles at this, flicking his tail to rest on his lap- We are... Happy, I mean. For the most part. I'm happy when I'm around him, anyways, and I think he's happy too... -looks at her, head tipping to one side. He didn't know Alice or Dhiren well, but he nods, understanding-

Gwin: -smiles quietly to herself- never take advantage of that Imp. No one should live their lives with regret. -flops over so that shes laying on her thighs with her hands in the water too, peeks up at him- Fate plays mean games on some people, so live every moment like its your last. -smiles and splashes him in the face-

Impulse: -eyes widen at her- I won't...don't worry. I love him. It's definitely love. -giggles a little, his body shaking with laughter for a moment, eyes closed in mirth. He squeaks when she splashes him, then he leaps to his feet and shimmies out of his hoodie and the delicate trinket necklace that he wore, cannonballing into the lake with his jeans on, to soak her. Surfaces, sputtering and grinning- Like this? C'mon in, the water's fine.

Gwin: -watches him with a cocked eyebrow, a smirk forming on her face before lifting the tank-top over her head and diving in, leaving her only in a bra and short skirt.- you really are an childish arse you know. -chuckles and splashes him, before dipping backwards in the water to get the wet hair from her face.-

Impulse: -happy she's comfortable around him enough to strip and join him. He ruffles her wet hair and ducks under the water, his own hair soaked and hanging in his eyes, peering out of a sheet of wet hair- Oh...I know. -beams- Only around my friends, though. Aren't you lucky?

Gwin: -shakes her head and -actually- laughs. she stopped, blinked a few times and smiled uncertainly. Well... it was a start no>?- but of course milady. -bows- Your very presence graces the masses. -floats on her back- I wanted to ask you something Impulse... I just don't know how exactly im going to phrase it, without making this whole experience awkward and not fun at all.

Impulse: -treads water happily, watching her with his baby blues, parting his hair and pulling it back away from his face, in a ponytail with the rubberband around his wrist- Oh? Hm... Well I'm willing to listen, if you're willing to talk... -smiles at her- Just try your best? I won't judge you...I promise. -touches her shoulder with his hand, before sinking it back into the watery depths-

Gwin: I don't know... -back strokes and stares up at the sky- are you sure you want children... I guess thats what it comes down to. I always assumed I would find mister right and just... go about it that way, but it seems my mister right(s) are gay, and together. -laughs softly- I just never figured you for the really... maternal type ya know? I mean your feminine and everything, but... children?

Impulse: -giggles at her words, but can understand where she was coming from- Marshie wants a family. He always has. I'm open to the idea? I get along well with kids. I like them. I can kinda relate to them. They're cute...and besides, I'd love to have a little girl to dress in rainbows and frilly skirts... They'd look kinda funny on me, dontcha think?

Gwin: Nah, I think you would look pretty. -closes her eyes, floating backwards- Its not going to be... awkward for you? -opens one eye lazily to look at him- I mean, as far as I can tell, im your best friend... and the whole... procedure... -blushes and looks away, toward the ruined buildings that resembled their namesake-

Impulse: -smiles at her. She always knew the right words to say- Pretty, huh? -at her next words, he flushes and flops onto his back so she couldn't see his blush- Well...yeah. Of course it will be. I'm gay, you know? I mean...I've never even -dreamed- of being with a woman. Ever... Not a kiss, not love... I mean, yeah I -love- you, but not that way... You know? -pauses, realizing he's talking alot and shuts up- So yeah. But...think of the new life we'll bring into the world... -blissful smile- I want a daughter... That would be fun.

Gwin: -flushes- ... never? -quietly, thinking to herself, of how difficult this would be for her- I miss him, he would know what to say ... in a situation like this. -looks over to impulse, before diving under to avoid anymore awkwardness-

Impulse: -nibbles on his tonguering and pulls himself out of the water, waiting for her to resurface. No, he'd never thought about girls, not like that. He liked girls, just fine, but...sleeping with them? What did boobs -do- anyways? He leaned back, dripping wet and he frowned, feeling awkward-

Gwin: -wishes she could stay under forever, but quickly finds out that unless she wanted to completely end it -AN IDEA- she should probably get out now, so she swam to the surface, braking water... and quickly notices the lack of a certain silver haired boy.- Goddamn I could use a drink. -pulls self out of water and onto the shore, looking about and spotting Impulse a ways away.- wonderful. He's probably traumatized.

Impulse: -offers her a sheepish grin, hearing her need for a drink. He reaches for her, hands touching hers- It's okay to be afraid... -murmurs softly, ears pulling back, uncertain if this was the right thing to say to her- I mean...I'm afraid? I'm sure Marshie's terrified... -pulls away and clears his throat- Wanna go for a walk? -looks up, seeing someone against the side of the Ruins main building- C'mon...Let's check it out! -slips his soaked feet into his shoes and grabs up his necklace and hoodie in one hand and grabs her hand in the other-

Sassy: -hums to himself as he begins to spray a mural on the side of the old building, the paint shooting out of the cans in colorful bursts- Turns out rather nice, if I do sayso myself -smirks and continues, not noticing the other cats nearing him-

Gwin: -quickly gathers her clothes, but has little time to put them on as Impulse tugged her along.- i...impul...IMPLUSE! -squeeks and tries to pull away, to at least get her tank top on, or even her shoes.- Where are we going!?

Impulse: -pauses, completely forgetting that she was just in a bra -- he didn't wear them, how should he know? but he lets her hand slip from his, seeing the cat defacing the side of the building- Is...he allowed to do that, Gwin? -asks over his shoulder-

Gwin: -stops and tugs the black tank-top over her head, looking at the scarf in her hands- its wet... -blinks and looks upward to the other cat, then to Impulse- it doesn't matter, if he's not Marshall can just paint over it. Im going home. -turns around, scarf in her hands, feeling horrible- soon... it wont smell like him anymore... -clutches her shoes in her other hand, looking downward-

Impulse: G-Gwin... -feels a stab of worry at what she might do, all alone in this mood. How had it gone so...awry? Leave it to him to mess things up... Moves after her, reaching for her- I'm sorry...if I said something that upset you... Don't do anything...brash, okay? You're not thinking of ...suicide are you? -ears pin back, tail still dripping water-

Sassy: -jerks his head up from the yelling in that direction -- not like ears like HIS could miss a sound -- and spies a boy reaching for a girl who didn't obviously wanna be reached for. Puffing himself up, he dropped the paint can and quickly flitted over on bare feet- Hey! If she don't wanna be touched, don't touch her. -his voice is quirky, almost lazily amused, though his gold eyes ignite with fire. He turns to the rainbow haired girl, frowning- Is he botherin' ya?

Gwin: -sighs, shooting impulse daggers with her eyes- no. He's just a friend, and I really should be going. I need to get this... cleaned. -raises the scarf, then looks back over to Impulse, eyes still narrowed- Suicide is for people that don't have something to do for other people anymore. Its a selfish act, am I selfish impulse? -frustrated that shes in this situation to begin with, her ears flattening back- I may be depressed, but I am not leaving my students. Period.

Impulse: -drops his head, ears docking back and the tone she used made him feel useless, worthless and pathetic. What a fool, but...he'd had to make sure, right?- N-No... I'm just...trying to look out for you, Gwin... -sounds hurt, looking up at the stranger, who is staring at Gwin with a lingering frown- Why are you painting the side of the building?

Sassy: -ear flicks, listening to the pair bicker, his mind elsewhere -- like on the pretty little thing who was obviously depressed -- she'd said so herself, afterall!- Students? You teach, then? -looks at her with a broad smile crossing his face, a fang showing out as he does so- Young students only, or would you mind teaching me sometime? I could use some pointers.. -licks his lips, turning back to the silver haired boy- Because, it needed prettying up, i-m-h-o. -rolls his eyes a little- Thatta crime?

Gwin: -crosses her arms over her stomach and sighing- Yes for the younger students mostly. Im the art teacher at the University, and if Alice caught you doing that there, let me tell you, it would be a death penalty. -moves closer to imp, taking one of his hands, now promptly ignoring the stranger- I'm sorry I snapped at you Impulse, I'm just... having a difficult time with what you and Marshall are asking from me... I need... time alone for a little while. Im not backing out or anything, I just... want a chance to find my happily ever after right now ok? -brushes a strand of hair from his eyes and stands on tiptoe, kissing his forehead- I want a boy if it helps, one I could dress in frilly dresses, that looks just like his daddy~

Impulse: -smiles at her, giving up his hand easily and looking a little sheepish- I'm sorry...Gwin. I understand... Just...take care of yourself, okay? -accepts the kiss with his ears back and head down, still smiling- Aww... That would be perfect... -brightens- We can wait. However long you need to.

Sassy: -obviously missed something- So you two are a couple then, I take it? Darn and here I was hopin' I could take the pretty girl out to dinner... -flashes an honest grin, eyeing Impulse- Or at least get some art tips... -looks perplexed for a moment, but then of course, he was drawing a myriad of mythical creatures on the side of that old building- I could use help on my eyes.

Gwin: -blinks for a moment, staring at impulse before turning to the other male -which she had forgotten- and started busting up laughing, the doubling over kind- Hun, he would more then likely be more into you then he would me. Im just having his kits. -rolls her eyes and pulls back- I'll see you tomorrow impulse, I'll be better then... I hope. I'm going to go into his room... the first time since he left... -sighs and drops her shoes, stepping into them and running a hand through her hair with her free hand- Give Marshall my love. -salutes and starts to wander off-

Impulse: -giggles at Gwin's words, looking the other male up and down before shrugging. The poor guy looked so confused- Okay, Gwin. Take care. I guess I getta play a few more rounds of Frogger before Marshie gets home. -grins-

Sassy: -blinks, peering between the boy called Impulse and the girl called Gwin before shaking his head- So...you're a homo and she's lost...someone close to her. And she's gonna carry your kids? Whatta twisted world. Twisted, twisted. Well hell. -watches Gwin go, torn between following her, but also knows when he's not wanted -- and that girl gave off so many 'do not want' vibes that it wasn't funny- Frogger, you say? -perks up- Am I invited?

Impulse: -watches the stranger with an odd expression on his face- I... Who -are- you, anyways? -irritated flick of his ear -- this cat was...odd-

Sassy: -grins widely and offers a hand, black nailpolish and all- Sassy. -drops a shoulder and smirks- How about this. You help me with my mural, because I ain't scrubbing it off, even if "Alice" sees it. It's priceless, yanno? And then, we play Frogger til your boytoy gets home. I could use a friend. -innocent smile- Nothing more.

Impulse: -hesitates, taking a deep breath. Who was he to deny him? Besides...he was gonna be bored up there all alone- A-Alright. Show me your masterpiece.

Sassy: -laces his hands behind his head as he leads the way- So... The University, eh? Think that pretty spitfire'd mind me dropping in...when she's not in a mood? -eyes twinkle-

Impulse: -Ohboy...- Listen. Gwin just had a bad breakup. She's not some...slut to be handed around. -growls a little, protective of his friend- If she's not interested in you, give it up. Learn to deal.

Sassy: -rolls his shoulders- Hey, it's worth a try. Don't worry, little kitten. I won't hurt her. That's not very nice, now is it?
