((note:: starts after having found out Vic adopted a little one he found in a box))
((also, VINESHIPRP'SYAY))

ness: does that mean i adopted it too in a sense? ;o -scratch rub chin and cheek-

Victor: Weelll............. if you agree to then yes!

ness: if i don't agree to; do i need a new boyfriend?

Victor: I'm merely teasing you love, plus... I know it'd be hard to keep me raising a young one from you for too long!

ness: -having neither dawn on her that in one spoken comment both referred to him as her boyfriend and also an inference that might suggest a plight of jealousy over sharing his time with someone else; and if that had a smell, it might be the brewing of coffee-

Victor: ... -He does sense something is amiss of her, especially with the odd reactions- Is everything alright my senora?

ness: -half staring with a partially blank look in her eyes; feeling feels she never felt before and finds it strange and bewildering- i think.... I'm ok? Hmm... can you feel my forehead? Maybe i have a fever?

Victor: -He frowns a bit and gets closer to her, placing his paw onto her forehead and checking her cheek temperature as well. It was puzzling to him, though... she...- You feel fine, senora... a hundred percent alright. -... And then it dawned on him- ... Is this because of the young one?

ness: huh.... weird... maybe i drank dirty water earlier... -the touch feeling blessedly comforting despite her mental and emotional disheveeling; her claws reflexively dig out and into his paw not allowing it to be pulled away; and then a single word started to ferment in the front of her mind. one that she started to feel a little like she was being possessed by someone else.. the word mine... the spark of a very primal and savage conviction yet still unspoken; if only by perhaps a faint flicker in her eye-

Victor: -He was about to dismiss it, but as he was pulling his paw back she had latched onto it with such... ferocity. It was something that he hadn't felt from another in a long, long time, especially to one so close to him. His ears flicked up in surprise, and he gave a small tug, before he caught that flicker in her eye. Swallowing, he tried to urge words to escape, but he was having difficulty. He almost felt... weak in this situation.- Se...S.. Senora. -He faintly spoke, in an almost whimper.-

ness: -just holding his gaze a few moments, not even realizing the vicious underlying feeling that took hold of her; paralyzed and frozen in a moment awash of a flood of things. the word 'mine' starting to richochet off of the walls of her mind and thunder with echos; and at first, her claws started to dig deeper. A furious clamp holding him to her. She had went to part her lips to say that he belonged to her; but she stopped. What did something like that mean???? Since when did she ever feel so entitled over anyone else? how confusing... how disturbing... with some digging deep within herself to find the control to pull her claws out of him; her claws retracted; but her body stayed frozen as if still paralyzed with that strange magic cloud whenever you ran into certain types of lizards in the jungle-

Victor: -He waited in silence, waiting for just something to happen -- for her to say anything at all. When met with the fact that she retracted her claws from into his arm, he thought at once of retracting his arm as fast as he could... but he kept it there, and in fact turned to cradle her cheek. He leaned his head in, pressing his forehead to hers, missing their gems and sighed quietly.- I don't know what you're thinking right now... and I wish that you would shed light into what you're going through but I'm not leaving until you tell me that I can, alright? I promise…


ness: Standing there with her sapphire globes throbbing and feeling the sting of tears as her lower eye lids spilled over with the salty liquid onto her cheek. What were these feelings... when she felt so pulled under like the tow of an undercurrent in the river of violent feelings. Still, she couldn't shake this deep and intrusive selfish feeling... and this inability to give him an answer. she had never found herself unable to answer for herself before. with initially a half step back pulling away. Then, almost without her mind knowing what her body was doing; her arms went down, her paws bundled at her sides. As the tears gushed up and spilled down even more; fear set in. This dangerous feeling of not understandign what was happening to her or why she felt like this... and then her wings started to flutter at a speed they never had. then, she was gone... she didn't even know where she was going. fluttering on pure instinct.

Victor: -To see her start crying was really really hard on him, especially the fact that he still didn't understand why she was crying in the first place. He pulled back not even an inch as she retracted her paws, and heard the fast fluttering of her wings. As he was about to speak, she took off at that instant. The way that she had been acting the entire time drove more worry through him, and instead of sitting there like an idiot would (his words), he outstretched his large wings and began to flap them, taking off after her as quickly as he could.- Senora! Senora please wait!

Ness: The word 'senora' verberated through the wind and trees. He wasnt' far behind. undulacan wings often were thicker and more meatier than pappillu wings. Her tiny insect like wings were really only capable of fast fluttering at best. Still, at the sound of his voice; she had tried futile attempts to make her wings speed up. This wild eruption of emotion driving her madly. She suddenly just stopped and hovered a second. Then rolled over to peer up at the evening sky; the sun mostly gone with purple and pink streaks mingling with black and navy blue mixing their nightly dance. Then, she leaned back, and fell plunging down. Without stopping to slow herself, she smacked the water. After being under for a few moments and not the best of swimmers, she didn't stay under long. She floated up on her back staring off into the skies; her eyes drawn to no star in particular. Now she was floating being carried away by water in real. She was carried away by a current inside.

Victor: He himself was starting to become incredibly emotional and worried about her, everything she was doing just didn't feel right at all to him. He was a bit behind her because of the gap from her taking off before he did, so as he had made it to the spot to where she had stopped for a moment, dropping down.... he then heard the splash as she entered the water. He was so so anxious at this point, feeling his heart beating in his throat, he took off again to the water, seeing her being carried off by the current. He hovered over to the water, right above her and waved his paw. "Ness..." He began, actually using her name for the first time in a very long time. "Ness what are you doing? Please talk to me..."

ness: While she was lost in a rush of confusion, she felt troubled. Why did she run away? It wasn't like her to run away and flee. For the most part, she wasn't a coward. She had run ins with those who might be seen as demons and not shied away. Yet this idea... the sensation of mine. the reflex action of hurting him and the consuming burn that flushed inside. All of it scared her. Was this... was this her? from somewhere deep down? Subconscious? Was it a curse? had she been cursed? As his paw waved over her face, her eyes started to clear. Her eyes seeing his red eyes. "I don't know victor... I don't know... Don't get too close to me. I don't know why i did that... I was just doing it before I could stop myself. I just feel so... outside of myself... and smothered deep down inside of myself... and maybe not myself at all... maybe... I will just let the water take me away....

Victor: Frowning lightly at hearing that, he held his paws out for her to take at any time so that he could fly her back to the shore. He continued to keep close to her, looking up once to see if there was any danger in them down the river. Smiling lightly, his ears went back... he was honestly really trying to figure her out right now. As he opened his mouth, his voice was calm, understanding... he was trying his best to calm her down in any way he could, "I want you to explain to me what is causing this if you can... What is going on dear? You were fine up until I mentioned me taking care of the kit, so it has to be something with that.... but you need to tell me. I just want to help you."

Ness: Her eyes closed for a moment as she tried to quiet herself. She was trying to feel around and understand it herself. "How can i explain for you what I don't understand within myself.... and I don't know why... it doesn't make sense... and... it's going to make me seem like... a really bad ulaya... maybe I have no right to say it.. or feel that way but..." her arms twitching with the instinctive response to his reaches to her to reach back but feeling unsure, "you just decided to take care of someone else? Without even asking me? I mean... what does that mean for us? How can we go on our adventures or do most of the stuff we do.. if you have to be responsible for a little one..."

Victor: He stayed quiet the entire time, listening to her carefully. As he heard more and more... it finally dawned on him. He closed his eyes, and chuckled gently... "Ness." He started, placing his paw to his chest. "I took in the little one because he was alone... And I understand the way that it is for a young one to be alone in the world. But don't think that him being in our lives is going to interfere with it, he's small and I can take him with us... besides, once he's old enough he'll become more independent, so don't worry love... I promise you, it's going to be fun for all of us."

Ness: She muddled a face. She really disliked how this sound like when ulayas suddenly get into relationships with others who already have kids. Like kids from previous relationships. A child... that they would be pretend parents to? A child that would be like suddenly hers? It wasn't even that she disliked children at all. She liked them plenty. Just... she stopped floating. She sunk down, and as she came up; she swam to a rock on the side. She climbed on that and sat hunched with her arms around her legs as she pulled herself down to wrap her body around the rock as if for dear life.
