Kurnox: *Yawns and paws the earth below him as he lays there*
Atadiusti: *Paws at Kurnox* >o>
Aisu | The seer knew of the leopard lurking in the shadows, not due to any information gained from his physical senses but because a vision had danced across his mind not too long ago. He had gotten better at deciphering them, strange, fleeting images vignetting from some shaky focal point. That, and his visions used to present themselves with quite fierce headaches; now, they were more tolerable if they bothered him at all. This time, he had seen green eyes in the dark as they observed some idle scene, flickering with predatory intent. He knew of the leopard's white speckled underside and tawny coat dotted with multiple rosettes, and he knew the leopard was here now.
He rose to his paws, shaking the water from his fur. He detested summer. It was always far too warm for this unusual Ulaya, for any temperature above arctic never failed to melt the icy parts of him. He was still terrified of the idea that he would entirely melt, a childhood fear that lingered into his adulthood. He hated being the child of a mortal and a god. Dismissing the thoughts, he ambled over to the leopard, expression cold and focused. "If you're looking for your next hunt, I would appreciate it if you wouldn't consider me prey."
- [Forgive Aisu if his observations are incorrect. He's still not the best at figuring out what his seer visions mean, haha.]
Vidarr | His gaze rested on the orange Ulaya batting at the other darker one, a winged Ulaya at that. The little werewolf felt an agitation in his muscles, and he hissed while he attempted to subdue his instincts. He could not help what he felt. He prowled over to the two, claws extended. He pawed –perhaps clawed would be a better word but the child did not know any better– at the purple male's wings, intrigued. One of his sister's and his brother were winged Ulaya, as well as their father. It was a new concept that others existed with small, feathery wings like their's. He did not speak, just periodically growled and snarled while he continued to roughly batting at the other's tail.
Ranmyaku | She had been watching the small kit for some time now from the safety of her perch in a tree overlooking the clearing. His battle between instinct and rationality was obvious to her. Perhaps her rough upbringing and knowledge of those like him gave her more insight than others, but the periodic snarls at nothing and the methodical wag of his tail should be clear indicators that there was far more to this child than meets the eye. She raised her head from her paws as the kit sauntered over to some other Ulaya in the clearing, then pouncing on one of the male's wings. Though she did not feel any obligation to this child –Ran never felt anything at all, really– she had been a mother for a time and knew of this child's true nature that others may not have understood. She dropped to the forest floor, landing rather quietly on her paws, ambling over to the group. "Forgive the child," she began, voice hoarse due to the lack of use. "He is not in full control of himself."
Thona's eyes moved to the male who seemed to have noticed him. Keen sense of skill, Thona guessed. He gave no attention to the gem that was upon the male's head, as it meant nothing to Thona. He knew not of what it meant, and didn't so much care if he did.
"Now why would I do that?" He said with a hum to his voice. Well, he suppose killing was the same thing sort of. Apart from the fact Thona would have no intention of actually eating said male. Or anything out there.
Then again there was more ways of hunting than just sitting down and looking for prey. Oh yes, he hunted for those he could manipulate and use to his benefit.
Atadiusti gave a squeak as the kit pawing at his wings. He gave a chuckle and didn't so much mind. He was a cute little tyke! "Oh, no, don't mind at all!" He chuckled and shook his head.
Kurnox ignored it all. He was in his own world, void of what was around him for the moment.
Aisu | Though he felt a twinge of embarrassment for once again misinterpreting one of his visions, his face remained cool and emotionless. "Stranger things have happened," he replied, sitting down, his eyes following the gaze of the leopard male's. "What else could you find so interesting out there?" There was not much. Nothing more than a small group of Ulaya in the clearing. This male's intent stare stirred curiosity in the seer, coming to the firm conclusion that perceiving the motives of other's actions was not his strong suit. No, being the child of a god and a mortal was indeed more of a curse than a blessing. He was both an oddity to look at and unable to take full advantage of the gift of foresight bestowed upon him, plus he melted in heat. As the thought crossed his mind, he shook the water off his tail. It was curious that this leopard took no interest in the fact that Aisu seemed to be made of ice, not that he minded. It was tiresome to constantly explain himself to others, yet he had grown to assume it would be the first topic of discussion whenever he encountered someone new. This was a pleasant change.
Vidarr | He then began chewing on the purple male, first the wings, then his back in general. "My dad has wings," he said, voice muffled. "And my sister and my brother. Do more of you winged guys exist?" he asked, completely oblivious to the fact that he could be harming this other male as well as the fact that the female near him, Ranmyaku, had a different set of wings, ones alien to the child. It was difficult for him to focus on more than one thing at a time, for it took a great deal of energy an attention to keep himself in check.
Ranmyaku | She blinked. This one was a patient Ulaya. She certainly would have thrown the kit off by now. "Enjoy." She did not know what else to say to him. She turned her attention to the darker male as he sat stoically, oblivious like the child. Her eyes narrowed. He both looked and smelled familiar. "You're a child of Ouka." It was a statement, not a question. She had known Ouka in the past, as well as his daughter, Lithium. She had never met any of his other children, but they were hard to miss. If Ran experienced emotion, she would have been surprised that she did not notice it sooner.
Man this male was getting rather annoying, Thona thought. Questions, all these questions. HIs tail flicked in his displeasure, but he voiced nothing. This could come out to be interesting perhaps. His eyes darted from the male back to the land around him. "One can't know what's out there without looking." Thona said. "Interesting or not, you can learn a lot from just watching." He wasn't sure why he was talking to this male. Though, he showed some sort of promise. Perhaps he could use this male to his advantage, never hurt to try, right?
Thona had noticed the male's appearance, but he had seen far weirder things and had learned to keep his mouth shut, nor did it really show any benefit in asking anyways. He wasn't the type to get close and know everything about someone. Unless it was a female he planned on trying to trick. His ears flicked slightly, but his eyes didn't trail back to the male.
Atadisuti winced once or twice as the kit was chewing on him, but he didn't move to stop the little guy. It was how they grew up learning things, wasn't it? Atadisuti hadn't been around any kits before, so this was rather strange, yet he couldn't upset the little guy. He smiled before speaking. "There are a few with wings like myself." He said. Though, he hadn't really met any. Atadisuti nodded at the female, she seemed she might need a break from the kit anyways.
Kurnox turned his head slowly as he heard the name of his father. A name he hadn't heard in quite some time. He shrugged and looked the female up and down. "And?" He spoke with a raised brow. Was that suppose to mean something to him? Though, if she knew his father, perhaps she also knew the curse that was put upon him and one of his other siblings. Of course, he hadn't seen any of them in a long time. Though she had caught his attention for the moment. "Who are you?"
Aisu | He shrugged. His eyes would tell him one thing while his visions would tell him another. He would see things before his eyes, and the input from the two senses often clashed. It was difficult to differentiate between fantasy and reality. Most would argue that what your eyes saw had to be true, for it was right in front you. Yet Aisu knew far too well that eyes can deceive, and he had grown to trust his visions more than his eyes. His eyes only fed him images while his visions often fed intent and occurrences his eyes could never see. He did not know how to begin explaining this to the male, rather than it would be easier to show him. "There are werewolves in that clearing," he stated plainly, gesturing to the two darker males. "The older one changes form while the kit is locked as a werewolf and doesn't have a 'normal' mode." He turned his gaze back to the leopard. "Eyes do not always see the full picture. While I can't deny their use, I find other senses to be more reliable." He did not know if a non-seer could understand, and found himself wondering what it would be like to live without his abilities. Perhaps he would be more trusting of his sight, in that case, but he would not know.
Vidarr | "Just a few? This was curious. Wings must really special, in that case. He was not aware that wings were a rather common trait amongst Ulaya, not that the fact would make them any less interesting. "Can you fly?" He had only ever seen his siblings and father flutter their wings, but they never soared like birds. He wondered what it would be like to fly, yet this was the first time the thought had really crossed his mind.
Ranmyaku | He was different. He seemed similar to Lithium, and the scars on his hind leg made her wonder. "Ran. I was familiar with Lithium and Ouka." She knew of Ouka's curse, the same one that he had passed on to Lithium. She had mentioned that one of her siblings was also cursed, a brother, but she never mentioned a name. "Are you afflicted?" she asked. Though the question may have been considered rude, her tone was flat, not judgmental. Ran did not have the emotional capacity to consider the feelings of others and word her questions appropriately, nor did she ever really judge others. Encountering werewolf would usually be cause for some concern, but she used to be close friends with the God of Fear; very little troubled her.
