Rowan:: *sprawled out on his back, lazing*

Novi: -attempting to skateboard -- already has scrapes on his elbows and knees-

Rowan:: *glanes over, looking a little bored on the surface* Whatcha up to?

Novi: -is on the board for two seconds before it goes flying and he lands on his butt- OW... -whines and wipes at his nose, then sees he has an audience. Ears pull back- H-Hi... I'm...skateboarding...

Rowan:: *pulls him up onto his elbows, totally undignified and not caring* I've never seen it before.. Looks like hell.

Novi: -smiles a little brighter- It's kinda hard... I saw some guys doing it and wanted to try... Wanna give it'a go?

Rowan:: *looks at the board with a bit of distrust before yawning widely* Mmm, I don't foresee me doing very well on that thing, it's too big for me...

Novi: -ears fall back again and his tail wiggles as he climbs to his feet- You can sit on it and ride it down hills, too! -smiles happily- It's fun...but there're no breaks. I crashed into some trashcans. See? -shows the scrape on his forehead-

Rowan:: *eyes go wide* You keep doin' the dare-devil stuff you're gonna end up killin' yourself man... *eyes the board with even more distrust*

Novi: -looks confused- But...it's fun? He told me to, anyway... He's the daredevil, not me -looks uncertain-

Rowan:: He who? Has he ever gone downhill on one of those things? *looks about for someone else to be nearby*

Novi: -grins and his big ears tip forwards- Yep! He doesn't seem happy. He's not talking much, but that's okay. He's a jerk.

Rowan:: *uses simple reasoning* If he's a jerk, why would you do what he says? *still sees noone around*

Novi: -pauses, thinking about it- Well... I don't know. -falls quiet, nibbling on his lip, which is also split but no longer bleeding- Hmm... You speak truth. But it's not like I can just -ignore- him...

Rowan:: I'd just tell 'im to go bug somebody else 'cuz personally he sounds like a jackass *not opposed to sweairng at all*

Novi: -pulls ears back again at the bad word, but he wouldn't tell momma -- he didn't wanna be kept home til he was older. Besides, Vik swore all the time- He...can't really bug anyone else. Not unless I let him out? -confused stare-

Rowan:: You keep him locked up in a box or summat? *ponders the idea seriously*

Novi: -places his hands behind his head in a carefree manner- Nope. In my head. Don't you have a guy in your head? -head tilts, asking as if it's the most normal thing in the world-

Rowan:: *eyes go a bit wide* Uh nope, it's not something in my head and you're the only one that I've ever met that has anybody in their head...

Novi: -deadpans- Seriously? Like...nobody? -suddenly feels a wave of uncertainty...was he really that crazy?-

Rowan:: Nope, not a person.. perhaps you'd be better off ignoring that person or pretending they're dead

Novi: -ears fall back and he deflates- Hmm... I dunno. He gets cranky when I ignore him... Besides, he comes out sometimes. I don't have control, but he killed Muffin! And he took off my collar! -sad face-

Rowan:: *finding this more and more fascinating, sits up a bit more* The personj in your head killed... a muffin?

Novi: -shakes his head- No... That would've been funny. -smiles distantly- Muffin... My sissy gave her to me. She was a little stuffed dog! He...he sliced out her guts!

Rowan:: *blinks, reading a lot of violence in this jerk in his head* Uhm.. have you like told your mom or sister or somethin?

Novi: -shakes his head, nibbling his lip more frantically- No... Should I? I don't...I don't want them to hate me...

Rowan:: Hate you? Why would they hate you? They'd be able to protect you from that dude in your head is what I think *ponders it over some more, unsure since it's a strange thing*

Novi: -shakes head slowly- I don't think anyone can protect me from Vik... I don't wanna go to one of those...rubber rooms... -ears flatten and his eyes glitter-

Rowan:: *pets Novi on the head, probably all of a year or less older* I don't think that'd happen, but if you don't wanna tell anybody i'm guessin' you sure as s**t don't have to

Novi: -nods and then brightens- You wanna go find somethin' to eat? -random topic change-

Rowan:: *nods* That sounds good, I'm hungry *stands up and wiggles his bobbed tail before heading off to scrounge up food for the both of 'em*
