Snow looked up at Calix; frustration clear on her face. She'd been thinking this same thought for a while now. And finally... she thought it was time to say something. She sighed; took in a breath; opened her mouth to speak; and then stopped. Closing it again. Finally she decided; she was going to say something. "Calix. Why is it; that every time that I try to compliment you... You shoot it down? You don't accept it?" She sighed and shrugged; a little angry by all of it. "I mean seriously; take the damn Compliment."
Calix scowled, shooting Snow an irritated glance as she brought up something he wasn't comfortable with. He fluffed his wings, peering down at her as he tried to think of an answer without actually delving any deeper into it. Of course, what he came up with was more than a tad bit on the rude side, "I'm not worthy of such things, you're just too inexperienced with life to notice it. Just look at me? If you can't see it, then you must have problems seeing," he murmured, furrowing his eyebrows together. If his mother was here right now, she'd be beating him senseless with her parasol.
Snow shook her head sadly that he would get so upset from a question like that. "Calix. What does it matter? Just becuase you've been told differently by some-" She started thinking of his mother; but not wanting to say her by name. "Doesn't mean it's true. You're very worthy of compliments... You just have a very bad self esteem issue... And my visions is just fine thank you!"
Calix turned away to hide his pout, not wanting her to see how much such words bothered him. "There are plenty of herla that are better than I, kinder, more beautiful..." He scowled to himself, just thinking about it, there were herla that were well liked, where as he... He preferred solitude and not many bothered trying to break him from it. "And though looks may not be terribly important, my personality is just as bad..." He mumbled, casting a sad glance her way. "Unless you'd prefer I had a huge ego like my mother and went fishing for compliments?"
When he looked away from her; Snow pressed the top of her head up and underneath his chin. Trying to comfort him at least that way before pulling away to let him lay down. She laid down with him; putting her head and neck over his shoulder and back. "Calix... You're perfect in my eyes..." She told him in a soft voice; not sure if he would even beleive her or not. But she meant it. She thought he was handsome; and kind; he was perfect for her. Her own sort of ideal male.
At that embarrassing compliment, Calix blushed, growing warm beneath his thick fur. He closed his eye, trying not to think about how embarrassing that was, but he couldn't help but ponder how anyone could think that about him, he didn't even have two eyes! "I only have one eye, yet I see more than you it seems..." He sighed, mumbling to himself. "You can't be seeing everything."
Snow felt a pang of pity in her heart when he said that. She wouldn't tell him though; she knew him better then that. He'd probably hate her if she told him she felt any sort of pity for him. So instead; she nosed the side of his neck in a friendly way; as if to say 'I'm here it's ok.' "So then tell me Calix... What am I missing?"
Calix smirked at how obvious this was, it was the first flaw his mother ever pointed out to him. "Well, to start off the list, there is my lack of a second eye." He sighed, shaking his head as he muttered to himself.
Snow let out a small dissaproving noise. "Calix; that doesn't matter to me. My dad is essentially missing both of his eyes... and I still love him fiercely too-" She said; stopping as she realized what she'd just said; and how it could have been taken. An 'oh s**t' look crossing her muzzle. >_<
Calix frowned, quieting as he thought about what it'd be like for someone who was even worse off then he was. "Well, I'm sorry for your father..." he murmured, brushing off anything that could be taken in a way he thought wasn't even possible.
Snow let out a bit of a snort (even if she was frowning) and headbutted him gently in a sort of playful manner. "Don't be. He has a mate that loves him; and five children that adore him. He's a good dad; and a great friend." She smiled a bit now; but laid her head back down on top of Calix; like she'd had it before. "Why are you so against being happy Calix?"
Calix flicked his ears as he listened, thinking about it. He scoffed slightly as her question, "There's nothing particularly special about happiness." He snorted to himself, remembering how his mother had described every emotion she could think of to him. "There are greater feelings out there..." he murmured, quieting as his wings ruffled.
Snow lifted her head once more and looked at the back of his own head for a moment; before moving so that she could look at the side of his face; the side with the eyepatch on it. "Happiness is extremely special. With out it... some of our other feelings aren't the same. And.. It's a lot better then sad. But what greater feelings are there?"
Calix sighed, resisting the urge to twist to look at her, "Perhaps it's just because you haven't experienced them yet, but there are emotions that feel so much stronger." He chuckled to himself as he blew his bangs out of his face, feeling rather sentimental at the moment. "Jealousy, anger, love... They are all so much more than happiness."

Snow rolled her eyes and shook her head; her bangs shaking with them moving out of her face slightly; but never very far; since she didn't like to have both eyes showing becuase Calix only had one... and she wanted to be like him. "Pfft. I've felt all of those! Trust me I have." She said firmly; almost a bit bitterly.
Calix raised an eyebrow, a bit surprised that someone so happy all the time was capable of feeling such things. "Oh really?" he murmured, peeking open his eye. "So, who have you been jealous of Snow?" He asked, tilting his head as he chuckled, rather curious.
Snow looked down; feeling awful for admitting this to anyone. "Chalice... and, Omnitia. They can talk and walk normally; with out any trouble at all; with out having to focus. I'm jealous of that... I want that sort of ease... And; I'm jealous of all the girls that can go right up to you... and I get crazy when they touch you. Becuase I know I shouldn't be; and I know you don't like it... But... I don't know..." She said feeling a fool.
Calix frowned, confused by the fact that she was jealous of such a simple thing, something that could easily be fixed. "That sort of thing just takes practice, it's nothing special and it's certainly not something to be jealous about," he snorted. "I used to be jealous of everyone, just because they could see better than I can." He shook his head, thinking about it before he shot her a curious glance. "Just because they can go right up to me... that doesn't mean anything," he shuddered, reminded of his dislike for physical contact. "Other people touching me is nothing special either."
Snow looked at him with a disbelieving face; a sort of 'No way!' kind of a look. "Sure it's special!" She told him totally serious about this. "You don't freak out as much when other people touch you! you don't get as nervous.... They're so lucky!" She said her ears going down slightly at the thought of it all. This stuff really bothered her... And she especially didn't like to talk about it with her idol. "And i do practice... a lot... But I just... I just can't stop myself from messing up."
Calix rolled his eye as he listened to her, amused by how far off she was. "You clearly don't pay attention to how much I freak out," he snickered, "just one touch from anyone sends me into a panic." He shook his head slowly, thinking about how pathetic it made him seem, before he addressed her problem. "My mother could probably fix that, she could teach you how to walk gracefully if you'd like."
Snow didn't beleive him when he said that it put him into a sort of a panic. He always seemed so calm and cool and collected. And besides... she was still pressed against his side; she was still touching him... and he wasn't going into a panic! When he mentioned his mom she pulled back a bit; a shamed look on her face. "Your mom scares me..." She mumbled. Becuase it was true; his mother petrified her.
Calix sighed, thinking of all the times his mother had helped him, before he responded. "She's not too bad, you just have know how to behave around her." He chuckled, thinking of how his mother's name suited her.
Snow smiled for a minute; even as she listened to him; becuase she'd been touching him during this whole conversation; and he hadn't really freaked out... And she smiled even wider on the inside; feeling good about herself on that too. "She makes me nervous when she watches me walk..." She mumbled. Not quite liking the way she seemed to bore into her very being with that look on her face. "I think she doesn't like me much..."
Calix scoffed at the thought, "My mother hardly likes anyone." He sighed, resting his head in the grass, thinking about how his mother faked friendliness when necessary, in order to keep up appearances. "She could probably scare you into walking properly if you're so scared of her," he chuckled.
Snow laid her head down and pressed it into his; trying to take advantage of this while she could; while would let her; or while he wasn't paying attention. "I stumble when she stares at me though..." She admitted feeling a bit of a fool as she did so. "I keep waiting for her; to swing her umbrella thing around and hit me with it... Ever since she thought I'd slept in your thicket with you..."
Calix snickered, trying to picture his mother hitting Snow with her parasol. "My mother would never do something so rude and improper, unless you two were alone." He grinned, laughing to himself, "She'd be too worried other people might see her." He blushed as he was reminded of the thicket incident, turning a deep scarlet beneath his blue fur.
Snow let out a small scared noise accompanied with a look on her face that said she beleived him. His mother really did scare him.. And she'd heard he had TWO mothers.... What would that be like? Were they both scary. She whimpered and hid her face into his side; not wanting him to see how freaked out she was at the thought of it.
Calix chuckled, ears swiveling as he looked ahead of him. "Anyway, she's not too bad..." He murmured, resting his cheek against the soft grass as he lay there. "She's self-absorbed, obviously, and she focuses a lot on what other people might think about her, but... She took care of me."
Snow smiled widely to herself on the inside; not really paying attention for a few minutes as her head began to swim with the fact that oh man! he wasn't freaking out! and she was touching him! and he wasn't freaking out! oh wait.. what was that? She frowned a bit; actually focusing on what he was saying now. "I'm glad you're not like that Calix...."

Calix snorted to himself, shaking his head, not even paying attention to the fact that he was being touched. "I'm like my mother in various ways..." He frowned, thinking about their similarities. Perhaps all that time he'd spent with his mother had made her rub off on him, he muttered. He didn't want to be like his mother, he just was.
"Like what?" she asked curiously; kind of sort of almost afraid to ask. did she really want an answer? Did she want to find out that all the things he valued were all the things that she couldn't do? Like talking properly; or walking properly? Or being the prettiest?
Calix frowned, closing his eye as he thought about it, trying to pick out what would be the most obvious similarity. "You may not have noticed, but... My mother has an obsession with appearances," he said with a snort, shaking his head slowly. "And I draw things that I consider beautiful..."
oh... He drew pretty things... He'd never drawn her though! but he'd drawn Zydra... then again Zydra was really beautiful... but maybe- "But you said yourself a good artist draws the ugly too!" She said a hopeful tone to her voice.
Calix sighed and rolled his eye, "Did I mention I'm not very good?" He murmured this quietly, almost to himself as he thought of the great artists the guardians had been when they were still alive. What he wouldn't give to be able to create masterpieces like they could.
Snow frowned deeply and nosed at him roughly; kind of jabbing him in the shoulder as she did so. "Stop saying that Calix!" She tried to command looking at him with an upset look. She hated it when he said things like that. It made her just feel upset.
Calix pouted, leaning away from her, the physical contact making him uncomfortable. He frowned as he gazed at her, not liking the tone in her voice. "You may not have noticed Snow, but you're not the boss of me," he snickered, flashing a grin briefly. If he'd said something like that to his mother she would've killed him, but with Snow it seemed fairly safe.
Snow's ears pressed back against her head when he frowned at her; and she honestly thought for a moment that he was angry with her. But when he snickered and smiled at her she sighed with ease and flopped onto her side rolling over and away from him. "You're silly."
Calix raised an eyebrow, watching her with amusement as she rolled about. "Only a little bit..." He snorted, unable to recall any other time someone had called him silly. Most of the time it was complaints how about how he was soooo gloomy or something along those lines. It was good to have a least one person not think he was a complete downer all the time.
Snow stopped once she was done rolling and smiled up at him; her tail wagging happily as she nodded her head in agreement. He was only a little bit silly, but he was still ok. "Yeah~" She told him smiling still. "You're more somber then silly."
Calix smirked to himself as she practically read his mind. "You got a problem with that?" He raised an eyebrow as he peered at her, his wings ruffling noisily as the feathers brushed together. He was content with how he was, whether it meant being silly or grave.
"Yes!" Snow replied with a big upset look n her face; her lower lip poppin gout in a pouting manner before her face broke out into a grin. "Then again. I sometimes wonder what it would be like if you were very happy go lucky... And it scares me a little." She told him giggling even more at the thought of him prancing around through a field of flowers. He'd look ridiculous.
Calix scoffed, trying to picture himself being all ridiculously happy all the time and he nodded in agreement with Snow. "That would be disgusting," he muttered, rolling his eye as he shifted to lay on his side. "I wouldn't be able to stand myself."
Snow rolled over and snuggled up next to Calix once he was on his side.. She looked up at him and smiled innocently. "I think it would be nice..." She said somewhat quietly. "To see you happy. If-" she looked away feeling a bit stupid. "If only for a little while."
Calix blushed, tilting his head as he twisted his neck to keep his eye on her. "Not really..." he mumbled, just thinking about it made him want to gag. "It would be weird and unnatural..." He snorted, blowing at his bangs.

Snow sighed and snuggled up to him a bit more and told him honestly. "I hope you find a mate Calix. So that then you might be wierd and unnatural for a while."
Calix raised an eyebrow, peering at her, a small frown appearing on his face. "I don't think finding a mate would have that effect on me necessarily... I'm sure I would act no happier than usual." He sighed, thinking about his parents, pretty sure that his mothers didn't love each other, but who knew. "Even loving someone can have it's troubles..."
Snow couldn't understand that. Her mother and father were so extremely happy with each other. And they just made her moms life even better. How could having a mate and being love NOT make you happier? She honestly stop to think about that; her ears moving as she closed her eyes and finally she shook her head. "I don't understand what you mean Calix. If you love a herla; and they love you back; that should make you extremely happy."
Calix frowned, thinking of his sister, Pet, now and her mate. He scowled just at the thought of Alaric and how his sister just let him get away with what he'd done. "I've seen other people... Love evidently is not all it's cracked up to be." He sighed, remember how upset his sister had been, but now she was back to normal it seemed... "There are disagreements, problems with relatives... Love can't always be sunshine and rainbows."
Well that she understood. She knew that sometimes her uncle didn't always like her mother... But he liked her at least <3 "Maybe they weren't really in love?" She questioned. Maybe they felt like they were trapped in something they didn't want to be in anymore? But one of them was hanging onto it? But her mother had told her; if you love someone let them go. And if they come back their yours. But what if you didn't want to let them go at all? She let out a huff of a breath slowly and slightly loud through her nostrils. "I hope my family likes the male I like..." she said hopeful.
Calix glanced over at her with his head tilted. "You have a good family," he said with a shrug, not wanting to think about his. He was sure he'd tried to talk Pet out of being with Alaric at some point, hadn't he? "I'm that that as long as he's not terribly rude, they'll be fine with him..."
Snow lifted herself up full and shook her head certainly. "Oh no!" She exclaimed to him innocently. "He's not rude at all! He's really sweet I think. And He's always super polite." She told him nodding her head becuase that made it true.
Calix chuckled, watching how she talked about this mystery hart with amusement. "That's good, otherwise I-" His eyebrows furrowed together as he snapped his mouth shut, snorting to himself. "Your aunt would probably kill him."
Snow's head snapped and she looked at him with wide questioning eyes. "What? What were you going to say?" She asked nosing him and snuffling at him as she did so. "What about you?"
Calix shrugged, smirking to himself. He was glad he'd cut himself off before he said something... embarrassing. "Nothing important," he grinned before glancing over at her, examining her expression. "What about me?" he murmured, tilting his head with a frown, his eyebrows knitting together as he tried to figure it out.
Snow looked confused and lost for a moment. "No; I mean... what were you going to say? You said "otherwise I'd-" otherwise I'd what?" She asked a little bit whiny really wanting to know. D8
Calix sucked in a breath, debating about telling her as he watched her expression change. "I was going to say..." he frowned, flicking one of his ears before exhaling loudly as he decided on how to respond. "Nothing important," he smirked, rising to his feet.
Snow frowned slightly frustrated with him. She watched him rise to his feet and she wasn't sure what to do. Finally she let out an exasperated sigh. "You're so confusing Calix." She said in a slightly annoyed way.
Calix grinned, enjoying teasing her. "Good..." he said with a chuckle, shaking off all the dirt and things that may have gotten in his fur while he was laying down, a habit he'd gotten from his mother.
Snow pouted deeply and stood up once he was done shaking out his fur; something she did not too becuase he did and she still wanted to be like him. becuase he really was just so amazing in her eyes. "Why is that good?" She asked in a bit of a frustrated tone of voice.
